New York Will Leave Mat Out for Redlegs If Brooklyn Goes West By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Spoils Writer , New York (ffl Brooklyn g oet next and when the Dodg ers finally do decide on Los Angelei for their new home. they'll leave the welcome mat out in New York for the Cincin nati Redlegs. Dodger President Walter O'Malley wasn't particularly concerned today that the New York Giants had beaten him to the punch by their decision to play in San Francisco next year, but it was considered a foregone conclusion that he will have a similar announcement of his own before Oct. 1. Evan before the Dodgers transfer to Los Angeles, how ever, the Cincinnati Redlegs are expected to consummate a deal whereby they will play in the Polo Grounds next year. Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (R. Calif.) said in Washington that he "doubted" the Giants would have taken the step they did Monday without an "under standing" that Brooklyn would move to Los Angeles. Hillings added that the Giants decision to forsake New York was a forerunner of a Dodger shift by Oct. 1, and that he ex pects either Cincinnati or Pitts burgh to move a National league franchise to New York after Bill Catey, Stacey in Senior Final Bill Catey will play George Stacey for the senior golf cham pionship of Rogue Valley Coun try club. The match is set for 1 p.m. Wednesday. Catey won his semi-final from Glen Fabrick 4 and 3. Stacey got by Merlon Emmans 1 up. Jerry Cottingham took second flight laurels with a 4 and 3 ver dict over Austin Laymane while A. C. Broyles defeated B. L. Mar tin in third flight finals. In the first flight Ted Porterfield will meet the winner of the semi final match between Lew Bates and Harry Jewett. Archer Stops The Dalles 4-1 Portland W) Archer Blower and Pipe eliminated The Dalles 4-1 in the Oregon state AABC semi-pro baseball tournament at Sckavone field here Monday. Joe Trembly smacked a first Inning home run for Archer. Archer added two more in the fourth inning, as they belted The Dalles' Denny Peterson for 10 hits. Archer pitcher Bob Diller gave up five hits and struck out 12. Archer goes against Show boat of Beaverton for the state title tonight. Local Cyclists Shine at Redding Two riders carrying the White's Cycles hop of Medford banner took top time trophies for two motorcycle classes Sun day in National Hot Rl associa- tion drag races at Redding, Calif. Jack White won on his 30.50 inch Triumph with strip rec ord of 98.93 miles per hour and Charles Beck, Rogue River, rid ing Pat Franzen's 40-inch Tri umph, established a strip mark of 109.59. White eliminated a 104.62 Norton and Beck won over a 40-inch BSA Spitfire. 5. i ACCUSED OF BLACKMAIL Mrs. Marjorie Meade ap pears distraught after Pro ducer Paul Gregory testified in the libel trial of Confiden tial magazine in Los Angeles that he had been offered a chance to pay between $800 and $1000 to keep a "scan dalously injurious" article from being published in Confidential. He identified Mrs. Meade as the one who made the proposition. Mrs. Meade collapsed and the trial had to be recessed for three hours Brooklyn leaves. Redlegs Seek Larger Gate The Redlegs, it was learned, are more inclined to make such a shift because they feel they have a solid, pennant-contending club which would draw far better in New York than it does in Cincinnati. Cincinnati officials have dis covered they can not expect too warm a welcome from Yankee President Dan Topping as poten tial tenants of the Yankee sta dium but the owners of the Polo Grounds have said they would be perfectly willing to rent it to another major league club. The Polo Grounds has a capacity of 53,000 as compared with 29,584 capacity of Crosley field in Cin cinnati. On the question as to whether any major league club would have the right under baseball law to move into New York once the Dodgers join the Giants in moving to the West coast, Com missioner Ford Frick said in Montreal Monday he planned to hold a meeting of club owners "before the World Series" to iron out the problems. The National league normally approved the shift of both the Giants and Dodgers to San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, May 28, a day after United Press Sports Editor Leo Peterson revealed thpt those two clubs and Cincin- na.i all would move. Money No Obstacle The Giants, having received the necessary approval to move from their board of directors Monday by a vote of 8-1, must now negotiate for the San Fran cisco franchise which is owned by Boston Red Sox President Tom Yawkey. It is understood Yawkey does not intend to stand in the Giants' way and that he will ask a reasonable sum. Pacific Coast league officials, however, could prove far tough er nuts to crack. They demand to be indemnified for invasion of their territory and it could be that Giant owner Horace Stone ham would be hard put to raise the kind of money they might ask. Leslie O'Connor, the one-time assistant to former commission er K. M. Landis, and now presi dent of the PCL, had a tart "no comment" over the Giants' lat est action. If an impasse comes about be tween the Giants and the PCL members, the case will be brought before a seven-man might hold up the Giants' offi might hold up the iGants' offi cial shift well into November.

METAL WORKS NEW LOCATION 2287 WEST MAIN at Lozier Lane Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work PHONE SP 2-4440 BRILL Damage Suit Matter May Be Aroused as Result of Transfer of Giants to SF San Francisco (in With the shift of the Giants to San Fran cisco an accomplished fact, the next problem is the settlement of damages on the Pacific Coast league for invasion of territory, While the loop during the past five years has been in a precarious financial situation, it is certain that many of the club owners are going to demand heavy damages. Unlike the American associa tion and the International league, which are nearly com pletely owned by major league clubs, only two teams in the PCL are owned by the majors: San Francisco by the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Stoneham is expected to have no difficulty dickering with Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox; the Dodgers are expected to take over their own franchise in Los Angeles, and Hollywood Major Shift Should Not End PC Loop San Francisco (in The Paci fic Coast league was formed in 1903, has been in action contin uously ever since, and it is doubtful that the shift of the New York Giants to San Fran cisco and the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles will write an .end to the 55-year history of the loop. There are three vacancies to fill in the revamped league, with Hollywood also losing its fran chise. The best bets right now ap pear to be Spokane, Wash.; Salt Lake City, Utah, and Phoenix, Ariz. They would be rounded out with Seattle, Portland, Sac ramento, Vancouver, B. C, and San Diego. However, this would create a tremendous amount of traveling, much more than the current set up of the American league and also the National loop before it expanded west. Some doubt the economic soundness of such a league, although traveling by air the clubs would have no trouble meeting their schedules. Other Possibilities Other possibilities for the legue might include Fresno, Calif., and Tacoma, Wash. The latter would make a natural rival for Seattle and Spokane. It would appear that the league, now an open classifica tion, would have to drop back to Triple-A and possibly Double A status to make ends meet. Then the question arises: Would such big cities as Seattle, Portland and San Diego go for a lower classification ball? Best bet is that they will. ' ( 3 J y J 1$ TOPS HERSELF Sylvia Ruuska (center) of Berkeley, Calif., set a new mark of 10:45.8 in the 880-yard freestyle event In the 1957 Women's National AAU Swim meet at Houston, Tex. The time topped her own record of 10:55.5. Carolyn Murray of Los Angeles (left) was second and Patty Kempner (right), also of Los Angeles, was third. BARGAIN GRADE 2x48' $12.50 Per M' CHENEY STUD MILL CENTRAL POINT can't collect damages because it did not own a territory, be ing in Los Angeles only on a payment basis to the Angels. Padres Pose- Problem But elsewhere there could be a problem. The San Diego Pa dres, only 120 miles south of Los Angeles, have an important franchise and the owners, al though without a decent ball park, could ask for as much as $250,000. This club was a good money-maker during the years after the war that it was owned by Bill Starr and his friends. It hasn't done too well, fin ancially, under a new group that has Ralph Kiner, the ex home run slugger, as general manager. But Starr & Co. are believed to have received more than a quarter of a million dollars for the franchise and park. The best franchise in the league is at Seattle, where multi millionaire brewer Emil Sick owns the club and a beautful 15,000-seat stadium. Sick claims Seattle is one of the best fran chises in minor league baseball and he has a lot of statistics to back him up. Seattle for the past decade has been the best drawing town in minor league baseball. Sick has indicated that he does not want to take Seattle into a circuit without San Fran cisco and Los Angeles. So he may ask from $500,000 to one million damages. Other Clubs Involved Vancouver, B.C., a compara tive newcomer to the PCL, may be optimistic on what the costs of quitting the leage will be, too. The Mounties are having a tremendous season at the gate and probably will draw better than 350,000 before the year ends. The stadium is city-owned, however. Portland, since moving into the Multnomah stadium, has done well at the gate. But the franchise does not include a sttadium and the club currently is battling for last place in the league. So the franchise may not be worth too much. Sacramento has a new ball park that seats 10,500, but the club, over a stretch of years. never has made money, prob ably because it usually is deep in the second division. The ball park is not an expensive ' one. but the investment there ' is at least a half million dollars. If San Diego, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle and Vancouv er can find three other cities to continue the Pacific Coast League, they may ease off in their damage claims. But in any event, both Giants and the Dodgers are going to listen to a lot of claims before the seven-man board appointed by Commissioner Ford Frick makes a final adjusment.
