have been developed. They con
vert rays from radioactive ma
terials directly into electricity.
The most recent, smaller in di
ameter than a dime, will run a
wrist watch more than five
years.
"Although not available for
everyday use," the AEC said,
'larger future models of the bat
tery are expected to power port
able radios, hearing aids, and
equipment in guided missiles and
apace craft."
The power from such batteries
is tiny compared to the amount
k would take to propel the mis
siles and space craft aboard
which they might be used. But
the AEC said it is continuing
work "relating to the application
f nuclear power to rocket and
ramjet engines." It gave no
rogre&s report, however.
Concerning weapons, the com
mission emphasized atomic arms
'for defense against attack." It
said it is stockpiling such weap
ons and also is developing others
"employing new design princi
ples which can be used more
effectively for defensive pur
poses.'' In addition to testing weapons
with a minimum of radioactive
fallout in Nevada, the AEC also
is studying the possibility of ex
ploding atomic bombs in such a
way that they could not be de
tected by means of any telltale
radiation.
This could be done by detonat
ing them so far underground that
o radioactivity would reach the
surface. One deep underground
sJwt will be fired in Nevada.

But it also gave the adminis

two steps opposed by President
Eisenhower. They are:
Authorized a $58 million

To Require Authorization
Retained in another bill a
provision to require specific con

Rep. Chet Holifield D-Calif.),
who headed the subcommittee
that drafted the main bill, said
the extra money was added to

Facts Given on
If Giants Come
By HAL WOOD
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco HP) Some
facts and figures for Horace
Stoneham when and if he brings
the New York Giants to San
Francisco for the 1958 baseball
season:
Item 1: When San Francisco
had minor league football, a
"big" day at the ball park was
12,000. A record was 15,000. To
day, with major league football
attendance often runs close to
60,000, and a "bad" day attend
ance will still run around 35,000.
Item 2: The San Francisco
Seals baseball team plays to
about 3,000 average for week
day or night games, 10,000 to
15,000 on Sundays. If major
league baseball brings as big a
percentage increase as did major
league football, Stoneham can
expect about 12,000 in the park
during each week-day game;
about 50,000 on Sundays.
A Big If
Item 3: San Francisco holds
the all-time minor league attend
ance record for one season
670,563, set in 1946 when the
team won the pennant. If major
league baseball would quadruple
that when and if the Giants win
a title, the attendance should
run around 2,800,000.
Item 4: San Francisco holds
the all-time minor league record
for a single series attendance:
111,622 for a seven-game series
with Oakland in 1946. The rival
ry this time' would be with Los
Angeles and should be accord
Women's Golf
First round matches In the
Women's Club championship at
the Rogue Valley Country club
have been played with medalist
Helen Davies winning over Mar
go Collins, 4 and 3.
Rose Bunch won her match
with Grace Reymers, 3 and 1,
while Maxine Hammond beat
out Ruby Elbert, 3 and 2. Other
winners in the championship
bracket were Jean Finch over
Ruby Schneider, 3 and 1; de
fending champion Sue DeVoe
over Blanche Frisbie; Corrine
Miller over Isabel Sickels, 3 and
2; Bell Schenck over Florence
Culbertson, 1 up on the 22nd
hole, and Evelyn Tamney win
ning out over Lois Walker, 3
and 2.
In the second flight, Mrs. Clay
ton Lewis won over Mrs. Dean
Lambert, 2 and 1; Mrs. William
Blackledge defeated Mrs. Frank
Benesh, 1 up; Mrs. William Schei
defeated Mrs. Sam Colton, 1 up;
Mrs. Lee Flink defeated Mrs.
Dick Knight; Mrs. William Clark
defeated Mrs. W. L. Stark; Mrs.
William Ruffner defeated Mrs.
Ted Groomes, and Mrs. Jack
Eidswick defeated Mrs. John
Day. The last three winners
came in with 1-up victories. Mrs.
Ed Milne won over Mrs. C. E.
Gordon by default.
In the fourth flight, Mrs. Tom
Harnsberger won over Mrs. Ray
Sorenson, 1 up; Mrs. Wayne
Safley defeated Mrs. B. D. Mitch
ell, 1 up; Mrs. Floyd Somers won
over Mrs. L. C. McLaughlin, 6
and 5, and Mrs. W. F. Cowning
defeated Mrs. Reese Alexander,
1 up, on the 19th ole.
In the nine "hole championship
group, Mrs. L. W. Buonocore de
feated Mrs. Doris Scroggins;
Mrs. Harriet Pyle defeated Mrs.
I. Sanner by default; Mrs. Nicol- j
letti defeated Mrs. T. W. McFad-!
den; Mrs. Robert DeLorme drew I

and Mrs. John Raapke; Mrs.

ingly stronger.
Item 5: Things can get tough
in the West, too. The all-time
record for low attendance at a
Pacific Coast league game was
set in Portland, Ore., vs. Oak
land in 1905. Paid attendance:
one (1).
Item 6: Although the Seals ap
pear headed for the PCL pen
nant this year, San Francisco
fans have supported some miser
able efforts in the past. In fact,
S. F. has won only two pennants
in the last quarter of a century.
So they won't expect miracles
from Stoneham & Co.
Good For Majors
Item 7: The Pacific Coast
league attendance record for the
eight teams was set in 1947, with
4,068,432. That's a minor league
record and compares favorably
with the major leagues. In the
days when all baseball was
played in daylight, the league
record was 2,235,510 set in
1924.
Item 8: If you can't make it
off the gate receipts, you might
make a fortune off the conces
sions. While the national aver
age for seat cushion sales is one
for every five persons who enter
a park, the average in San Fran
cisco is one for every two fans.
Helps keep them warm in the
cool (cold) local night air, they
claim. And instead of pop and
ice cream, local fans eat bundles
of hot dogs, beer and coffee
also to keep warm.
