Guessing PCIL Flag Winner
Considered Mtfncult Task
United Press International
Touting the winner of the
Pacific Coast league flag
chase which begins Friday,
looks tougher than trying to
predict how many times Spo
kane's brash Bobby Bragan
will be given the umpire's
thumb.
Bragan is a most unpredict
able sort who, among other
things, once whipped out a
water pistol on an umpire fol
lowing a questionable de
cision. - - - -
The experts call for a three
way scramble for the pen
nant among Phoenix, Spo
kane and San Diego.
Defending champion Phoe
nix is given a good chance to
repeat, but on paper they do
not appear as strong as the
club that belted a record 205
homeruns last season.
Dusty Rhodes' 25 hr's, 100
rbi's and first baseman Willie
McCovey .319 average, 89
rbi's, are back to lead the
Giants. But gone, at least for
now, is shortstop Andre Rodg
ers, who led the league with
a .354 average.
Alou, Wagner Gone
The Giants also won't be
expected to have the part-
time services of such sluggers
as Felipe Alou, Leon Wagner
and Willie Kirkland, all of
whom figure to last the year
with the parent San Francis
co Giants.
Spokane, a farm club of the
Los Angeles Dodgers, appears
.to have strengthened. The
main reason is big Steve Bil-
ko, who figures to belt at least
40 homers and probably more.
The Indians also look to have
solid pitching with Roger
Craig. Bob Giallombaxdo,
Phil Paine and Chris Nich-
olosi.
San Diego, with George
Catfish Metkovich at the helm
has a slick operating double
play combination in second
baseman Billy punter and
shortstop Billy Moran.
Earl Averill and Dave Pope,
the big offensive guns on last;
season's second place Padre
team, are gone, but general
manager Ralph Kiner says he
expects plenty of help from
Cleveland. '
Padre pitching has an abun
dance of experience with Bill.
Werle, Bob Alexander, Steve
Ridzik and Bud Podbielan.
Bees Miss Stuart .
Salt Lake City, which last
year had belting Dick Stuart
for half a season, looms as the
darkhorse of the circuit.
Veteran Coast Leaguer Car
lot Bernier and swift moving
Howie Goss head the Salt
Lake outfield corps and the
mound crew will have Dick
Hall, Don Urquhart, Don
Rowe and Johnny Oldham.
Additional help from Pitts
burgh is expected. Jim Mc
Daniel, the league homerun
king last season with 37 cir
cuit clouts, may or may not
stick with Pittsburgh.
Vancouver, which finished
third last year, has lost four
top pitchers. -Back are 42-year-old
Joe Hatten,- a starter
and reliefer who won nine
games. Erv Palica, a 15-game
winner, and 22-year-old Gor
dy Sundin, a 64" giant who
registered six wins last sea
son. Metro is counting heavily
upon newly obtained Charles
Estrada, who had a 15-11
1 A II ..
MEDF0IUTRIBUN1
1 uynu li &
mark with Knoxville last sea
son and Fred Besana, a south
paw who won 11 and lost 12
for Louisville.
Portland, provided it can
get solid pitching, could eas
ily find its way into the pen
nant scrap. They boast such
veterans as Nini Tornay, a
.300 hitting catcher last sea
son; George Freese 35 hr's, 81
rbi's; Dave Melton, Bob Di
Pietro and Jim Greengrass.
Manager Tommy Heath says
he looks for a third place fin
ish at least. Top Beaver hurl
ers include Vic Lombardi,
Larry Jansen, Glen Cox and
Howard Reed. Kansas City is
expected to send along help
before the major league cut
down date.
Solons Need Help
Sacramento, managed by
Bob Elliott, has received some
help from major league clubs,
but additional reinforcements
are necessary before they can
be counted a contender for
the flag.
Seattle, cellar dwellers last
season, is up for a major re
building job under the capa
ble eye of Freddy Hutchinson.
The Rainiers have added three
infielders who have played
on triple-A pennant winners
in the past two years. They
are first baseman Frank Kel
lert, second baseman Jack
Dittmar and shortstop Harry
Malmberg. The veteran crew
is rounded out by Eddie Ka
zak who came to Seattle from
San Diego late last season.
Dee Fondy, veteran big
leaguer, and Elmer Valo an
other long-time major league
campaigner, are slated for
outfield work.

Oregon State wrestlers fought
heavy competition here
Wednesday night to gain
fourth place berths in the
Greco-Roman finals of the
national AAU tournament.
The places gave Oregon
State four championship
points to tie with the Sooner
Athletic Club of Oklahoma
University in 11th place in
team standings.
Oklahoma State university's
cowboy athletic club won the
team title with 31 points.
Mitsy Tamura edged into
fourth place at 114.5 pounds,
behind Dick Wilson of To

Marines, and John Jordan of
the Army. Tamura had two
draws in early rounds, with
Tiernan, and was decisioned
by Wilson in the third round.
He entered a "wrestle-off" for
fourth place, and decisioned
Ollney Mueller of St. Louis

Blake wasn't talking public

quickly.
Apparently Blake, who Is

Liston Gets TKO
In Three-Rounder
Miami Beach, Fla.-flJPD-Son-ny
Liston, a bomb-throwing
heavyweight contender from
Philadelphia by way of St.
Louis, today was clamoring
for a fight with anybody, in
cluding champion Floyd Pat
terson. Liston, because of his im
pressive record, has had trou
ble finding suitable opponents
in recent months. And his
search figures to get tougher
considering the easy manner
in ' which he demolished
rugged Cleveland Williams of
Houston, Tex., Wednesday
night in a nationally televised
bout.
; Warming up quickly after
a slow start, Liston was
awarded a technical knockout
over Williams at 2:04 of the
third round after flooring his
taller rival twice earlier in
the session.
24th Victory
It was the 24th victory in
25 pro fights for Liston, who
is ranked fourth in the heavy
weight division behind Inge
mar Johansson, Zora Folley
and Henry Cooper. Liston
weighed 212V pounds to Wil
liams 210V4.
Liston, a 3-1 favorite,
dropped Williams for an eight
count with a solid left hook
in the third round. Williams
went down again seconds later
under a barrage of punches
and struggled to his feet at
the count of nine. That's
when referee Jimmy Peerless
halted the fight to save Wil
liams from further punish
ment. T got the idea that I
could slug him," said Wil
liams, who suffered his first
defeat in his last 12 starts and
only the third of his 47-fight
career. "That's where I made
my mistake."

. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, April 16, 1959 9
Desoto Announces
New Power System
For Future Gars
Chicago The predicition
that cars could be driven by
four high-speed electric rotors
receiving their engery from a
totally new source of power
has been announceded by De
Soto Division.
The concept was revealed
as De Soto unveiled a three
eights scale model of an "idea
car" called the "De Soto Cella
I."
J. B. Wagstaff, De Soto
general manager, termed the
"idea car" and its power
theory "an exploration -of
styling ideas and advanced
engineering concepts which
might be realized in a De Soto
within the next generation.'"
Electrochemical System
As conceived by De Soto
engineers, the De Soto Cella I,
would be powered by a revo
lutionary electrochemical sys
tem. Stylists have also envision
ed many new safety and con
venience features which could
be incorporated into the De
Soto Cella I.
"In this engineering con
cept," A. E. Kimberly, De Soto
chief engineer, explained, "we
have discarded the time-honored
piston engine in favor
of the chemical interaction
of hydrogen and oxygen
gases as the primary source
of automotive power."
The idea car's name, "Cella,
is derived from the' Latin and
refers to a power source "con
tained in a cell." In the De
Soto engineering concept th
hydrogen and oxygen gases
would be fed into the cell
with , the resulting chemical
interaction being converted
directly into electrical energy.
Similar in Principle
Kimberly explained that
this conversion to electrical
energy would be similar in
principle to the operation of
a present-day commercial dry
charge battery, wherein elec
trical energy is generated only
when the battery is filled with
fluid.
"The electric current," h
said, "would then be utilized
to drive four high-speed, light
weight traction motors, one
geared directly to each wheel."
"The use of four light
weight, high speed geared mo
tors would allow them to be
positioned adjacent to the
wheels where they would
drive through short, univer-
sal-jointed shafts to independ
ently suspended wheels," Kim
berly said. "If ultimate weight
reductions are realized, it
may even be possible to con
sider mounting the motors
directly to the wheels."
