To Claim Gold of Moves
By JOHN GRIFFIN .
The Los Angeles Dodgers
and San Francisco Giants are
starting to mine the gold they
truck in California, a United
Press survey of pre-season
baseball ticket sales disclosed
today.
Fifteen of the 16 major
league clubs reported their
advance sales for the 1953
season are running even or
well ahead of last year, with
the Chicago Cubs the lone ex
ception. But the transplanted
Dodgers and Giants were bid

see the possibility of having
its own portable ring and
staging the fights at its stadi
um in the summer months as
well as in the new auditorium
during the colder or cooler
part of the year.
It's possible several other
ring clubs could be formed in
the valley and they could
take advantage of the VA fa
cilities as well as have cards
in their own communities.
Medford PAL is an example
of what can be done in the
larger towns of the valley
The Talent venture should
serve as an encouraging mod
el for the smaller towns.

"At this date our sales are

The Giants will be playing
in 25,000-seat Seals Stadium

spokesman reported sales are
approaching $2,000,000 "at

CHRISTIAN SIXTH
We don't see Scholastic
Coach magazine but word has
been passed to this depart
ment that Wayne Christian,
Eagle Point, high, is the only
Oregonian listed on the mag
azine's 1957 track All-Ameri-can
squad. His javelin throw
of 193 feet plus last spring
ranked sixth in the country.
Christian won both the jave
lin and the discus in the 1957
state A-2 track meet won by
Eagle Point. He and Jack
Greb scored all the points for
the Eagles.
WILL NORTH BE HELPED?
We can't help wondering
whether the action setting the
state track meet back two
weeks to May 30-31 this year
is aimed at improving tne
chances of the schools in the
northern part of the state
against those of southern
Oregon. It s been leit xnai
this section of the state has

who said they wanted a long

Portland Boat
Show To Open
On February 22
Portland The annual Port
land boat show, said to be the
largest on the Pacific coast
limited to boats and acces
sorie, will open Saturday,
Feb. 22, at the Pacific inter
national livestock exposition
building, under the auspices
of the Portland Oregonian.
Scores of the newest model
boats, inboard and outboard
engines and large stocks of
equipment for all sorts of
floating craft will be display
ed by dealers, distributors
and manufacturers in salon
type spaces. The "main show
room will be 25 per cent larg
er than last year, or a total of
83,000 square feet of floor
space devoted solely to pleas
ure craft.
40 Foot Blocks
The best exhibits will be
displayed in blocks about 40
feet square through the mid
dle of the room, with the ac
cessories and allied displays
arranged in 10-foot square
spaces along both sides of the
building.
A "Yacht, club theater" will
be operated daily during
show hours (2 p.m. to 10 p.m.)
showing films of general in
terest to boat lovers. Another
feature will be a pool stocked
with ravenous trout, there for
the catching by the young
sters. A nightly spin fishing
exhibition and competition
also will be held with tro
phies for men, women and
children.
The exposition center can
be reached from downtown
Portland by driving north on
highway 99W or 99E to the
intersection of Union and
Denver aves., then west to the

race.

The Dodgers have taken in
$1,800,000. Parrott said there
was one big burst when it was
announced the team would
play in Wrigley Field; since
the shift to 101,000-seat Coli
seum was announced, "we
have reopened the box seat
sales and it's been more ter
rific than ever."
The Dodgers and Giants are
among four clubs announcing
a rise in ticket prices, though
comparison is difficult in their
cases because of the change
in sites. The Dodgers will have
S2.50 seats instead of S2.00
and $3.50 seats Instead of
S3.00. The Giants will have
seats at the same prices, "a
few cents higher" than in
New York.
Also raising prices are the
Chicago Cubs about 15 cents
per ticket and the world
champion Braves, 10 to 15
cents on daily tickets, $10 to
S20 on season tickets. The
other 12 teams are holding
the line on last year's prices.
The Cubs were the shocker
with an admission by ticket
manager Jack Maloney that
"things don't look so good
riaht now we're down 36
per cent as of mid-January.'
Close Tilts

Medford gained consider
able confidence over the past

New York (ffl Manager
Cus D'Amato declared today
that "only sabotage" could
prevent Floyd Patterson from
making two defenses of the
heavyweight crown before
July in the United States in
April and in London in late
June.
Stocky D'Amato, with the
gray crew-cut, said he was so
fearful that the International

would try to block an Amer
ican defense in April that he
would not announce the -challenger,

May Be Over, Says Doc
Glencove, N.Y. OPI Los
Angeles Dodgers star catcher
Roy Campanella suffered a
broken neck in an automobile
acicdent early today. He is
"paralyzed from the chest
down," his wife told news
men.
An operation to relieve
pressure on his spinal cord
and determine the extent of
injury was begun at 8:15 a.m
(e.s.t.). Doctors at Glen Cove
Community Hospital said it
would not be completed for
several hours.
A doctor, who declined to
be identified, said, however,
that 1 "his playing days may
be over."
They said the roly-poly
baseball star was in critical
condition. The possibility of
his recovering to return to
baseball cannot be known un
til the operation is completed
the hospital said.
Mrs. Campanella, mother of
six children under 18, told
newsmen she saw her hus
band shortly after he was ad
mitted to the hospital at 4:12
a.m. and "He just moaned.
He's paralyzed from the chest
down."
She went home and re
turned to the hospital at 9:45
a.m. with a family friend Wil
liam Urquart, a Hempstead,
N. Y., real estate dealer. But
she left 15 minutes later
without seeing Campanella,
who was in the operating
room.
Officials On Hand
Hospital administrator Har
ry Gifford said X-rays before
surgery showed "broken ver
tabrae, but we don't know
whether it is one or more."
Worried Dodger officials

Dodger President Wja Iter
O'Malley kept in touch by
telephone from New York.
The chunky Negro catcher,
the National League's most
valuable player in 1951, 1953
and 1955, had been due to re
port to the Dodgers' Vero
Beach, Fla., training camp
about Feb. 20.
It was not immediately
known where Campanella had
been before the accident.
He was nearing his $50,000
home in a real estate develop
ment on the former estate of
the late financier J.P.Morgan
when his car skidded on a
sharp curve, near the crest of
a hill and crashed into the
telephone pole.

supremacy in the sport, St.
John's coach Joe Lapchick
asserted Tuesday, and there's
no possibility of Russia or
anyone else "catching up" in
the near future.
"Those extra four years are
the reason that our boys re
tain their edge in internation

the original Celtics. "It gives
us an edge, which, plus a
superb level of intercollegiate
competition, figures to keep
us on top."
Lapchick, a modest man
who still calls 'em as he sees
'em, figures that the five poor
est players on our Olvmnie
team could win the title at
the international games in
Rome in 1960.
English Teacher Coached
"It used to be that anybody

would take the English tea

him to buy a book and coach
basketball."

repentant rebels today. Num
ber two man in the party, Lui
gi Longo, announced the pol
icy before leaving for Mos

In those days, he continued.
the -big boys who were too
awkward to "move" were
shunted to the sidelines he-

"Then we had the 'goon
period," added Lapchick, who
coached the New York Knick
erbockers for nine years be
fore going back to St. John's
last season. "Thev were bas

boy is being given in high

those big boys are really fire

other nations have made a

compete with the pros be
cause of that little added
edge."
There also is the added fac
tor that the pros play so of
ten, a grind which drove the
ailing Lapchick out of the
professional game.
"The strain is terrific be
cause the pros play three
times' as many games a season
as the colleeians." Lanchick
said. "This way I get to re
lax once in a while.
