(IP! Pacif ic Coast league President Les lie O'Connor said today he's still optimistic about the re aligned loop's future, despite a bum break from the weather and low attendance in the early going of the campaign. ile said attendance at Phoe nix, home of the league-leaders and league headquarters, has "been most disappointing, especially for a town with a winner." "On the other hand, two other new clubs, Spokane and Salt Lake City, are doing fair ly well," he added. The president of the triple A league - cited the pennant race thus far as "being most interesting."

Before the campaign start ed, Manager Birdie Tebbetts said his Redlegs were bound to win more than four games from the Braves this year. Maybe so, but they had bet ter start moving soon. Hank Aaron's foul ball set tled matters Monday night. Turk Lown, Cincinnati's fourth pitcher, set the stage of Sunday, the gap between first and last place was but six games. O'Connor said no attend ance figures had yet been com piled on the league, but would be by July 4. "However, I would guess that attendance is off, com pared with figures at the same time a year ago," he said. Seattle Disappointed There have been no dispar aging words about the new league set up, owner of the once topdrawing Seattle Rain iers, had written about his own situation thus far this season - low attendance "and near the bottom in the stand ings. "That weather in the North west in early season really hurt us," said O'Connor, re ferring to the many, rainouts at Portland, Seattle and Van couver during the first two weeks. "The league still must de cide what to do about getting those games worked into the schedule," he said, "and act on a request by Portland for extending the season two weeks." The owners probably will decide what to do at the league meeting in Portland prior to the All-star game at Vancouver June 30. ' League Leaders By United Press NATIONAL LEAGUE G. AB. R. H. Pet.

Johnny Logan followed with a double moving Schoendienst to third, then Fran Torre was purposely walked, filling the bases. Schoendienst Beats Relay Tom Acker took over for Lown and Aaron stroked a looping foul toward the left field bullpen. Shortstop Eddie Miksis, recently signed as a free agent after being re leased by Baltimore, scamp ered back and caught the ball but Schoendienst beat his re lay to the plate for the win ning run. It was a tough one for the Redlegs to lose, especially aft er they had battled back to knock out Warren Spahn and tie the score with a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth. Spahn, shooting for his sev enth straight complete game victory, appeared to have it in his grasp when Andy Paf ko homered off reliever Hal Jeff coat in the top of the ninth to stretch Milwaukee's lead to 3-1. r But the Redlegs chased Spahn with their two - run rally in the bottom of the frame. It marked the first time in his last seven games and only the second time this season that Spahn failed to finish. Ed Bailey homered with one out and the bases empty and then with two out Smoky Burgess lined a pinch single and Bob Thurman drove in the tying run with a pinch double to left-center. Fire-baller Don McMahon, who took over for Spahn in the ninth, scattered four hits the rest of the way to gain the decision. Tebbetts em ployed 21 players in a vain effort to snare the win. - It was the only game sched uled -in the majors. The red-hot San Francisco Giants, however, walloped Chicago White Sox, 10-1, in an exhibition game at Minne apolis.

The problem was bypassed during the opening session of the three-day spring meeting Monday, but newsmen did get a comment from one PCC spokesman, Prof. E m m e 1 1 Moore of Washington State. Moore said that in his opin ion, California, Southern Cali fornia and UCLA would not be entitled to play in the Rose Bowl after 1959. The three schools have announced they are pulling out of the confer ence as of July 1 next year. Moore said the "big three" from California would also lose their share of the profits from the big annual classic. Although the Rose Bowl question hasn't been settled, a number of other proposals were passed during Monday's session.
