Executive Says Blackout
Would End TV of Games
By DICK WEST
Washington - (UPD - A broad
casting, industry spokesman
said today television networks
would be forced to end their
telecasts of major league base
ball games under a proposal
to black out stations within 75
miles of minor league com
munities. Harold E. Fellows, presi
dent of the National Associa
tion of Broadcasters, filed a
statement with the Senate Anti-Trust
and Monopoly com
mittee which is considering
bills to give professional team
sports exemptions from the
anti-trust laws.
The subcommittee today
called Paul Richards, mana
ger of the "i .ltimore Orioles,
to hear his views on how the
"have-nots" can compete with
the "haves" in baseball.
- Richards is the author of a
ing northwest titlists and the
Maids won the Oregon diadem
last year.
A doubleheader is slated
with the first game at 7:30
pan. between the Dairy Maids
and Brakettes. Raybestos and
the Florists clash in the sec
ond tussle which will actually
be the fourth between the two
teams in the Stratford jaunt
to Oregon.
Tickets will be on sale at
the gate, Lions committeemen
pointed out, with separate
prices for the main grand
stand and the bleacher area.
Should the crowd overflow
the stands and bleachers,
standing room will be avail
able behind the "snow" fence
which has been set up to
shorten the outfield.
The Brakettes and Florists
are longtime standouts in
women's softball. Raybestos,
an oftentimes regional winner
in the east, won its first world
mantle in 1958. The Erv Lind
team, twice world victor,
qualified but did not partici
pate in the world tournament
last year at Stratford. Florist
caliber was recognized when
the team was ;hosen by the
Department of the Army to
tour Japan and other Pacific
islands this September.
' Going into their current se
ries season win-loss marks of
the Brakettes and Florists
were 33-3 and 34-4, respective
ly, and the Lind nine is un
beaten in the Northwest Ma
jor league. Raybestos has a
378-76 all-time record and was
52-5 last year. It riever has
had a losing season. The Flor
ists, operating since 1937,
have won every city, state and
regional tournament in which
they have taken part. In their
world tourney competition,
they have always placed
among the top five teams. The
Brakettes were world meet
semi-finalists in 1956 2nd
quarter-finalists in 1953.
Two of the nation's best
pitchers are expected to op
pose each other this evening,
Bertha Ragan of the Brakettes
and Louise Mazzuca of the
Florists. Ragan had a string
of 35 victories without a loss
over two seasons until beaten
recently by an all-star team.
Mazzuca is unbeaten in the
Northwest loop this season.
Last year she was 14-2 pitch
ing for Forest Grove in the
league and with that team in
the national tourney struck
out 26 batters in 16 innings
for a tourney record.
Pat Barron, outstanding
pitcher of the 1958 state tour
ney, is to pitch for the Maids
this season and may face Joan
Joyce, who was 17-3 last year
and hurled 11 ,2-3 straight in
nings of no-hit ball in the
world tourney. .
Medford School Men
On U of O Program
Two Medford men were
program participants last
week in the conference on
competitive athletics in the
public schools held by the
school of health and physical
education at University of
Oregon.
They were Elliott Becken,
assistant superintendent of
schools, and Lee Ragsdale, su
pervisor of health and physi
cal education.
Becken was a member of a
panel on whether competitive
athletics are educationally
justified and what kinds are
considered educationally
justified and what kinds are
considered educationally
sound. Ragsdale spoke on the
programs for elementary and
junior high schools.
GOODING PICKS OSC

he will enroll at OSC 'next
fall. Gooding has an 11-1 rec

which he blamed many of
baseball's ills on the bonus
system used to acquire prom
ising young players. He con
tended an unrestricted draft
of minor league pUyers would
do nuch to cure such trou
bles. Fellows, in presenting the
radio-TV views, noted 'that a
bill by Sen. Kenneth B. Keat
ing (R-N.Y.) would enable ma
jor league clubs to extend
broadcast restrictions to all
stations within a 75-mile ra
dius of a minor league com
munity. If approved by Congress,
Fellows said, this proposal
would remove a major share
of the potential audience for
such telecasts and it would
not be economically feasible
for an advertiser to sponsor
the programs.

The commission said this was

Another law licenses shoot

Third Loop
San Francisco-(UPD-There's
no doubt that a third major
league, if and when it be
comes a reality, is going to
have to look a long time for
players to bring it up to the
standard now enjoyed by the
National and American
leagues.
But don't forget that, the
National and American
leagues weren't at this stand
ard until a few years back.
It was little more than a
decade ago that Branch
Rickey and the then Brooklyn
Dodgers broke the "color
line" and decided to let
Negro athletes play in pro
fessional baseball.
Prior to that ime the cali
ber of play in the majors was
far below what it is today
because such stars as Satchel
Paige and many, others were
forced to compete in . the
Negro leagues.
Today the number of per
formers on major league rost
ers who are Negro runs as
high as 20 per -cent per club.
Some of the old-timers in
the National league believe
.that the proposed "Continen
tal league" is a good thing
looking at it from a strictly
selfish standpoint.
"Some of the older players
believe it will give them a
few more years in the
majors," says Richie Ashburn
of the Philadelphia Phillies.
"But it will take time for this
loop to develop the caliber of
play now on display in the
National league and the
American league.
"They can get parks, cities
and money - but finding big
league ball players is another
thing."
There still is strong belief
in many circles that the pro
posed league is strictly a pro
motion to force the .major
clubs to come into New York
with another baseball team.

Dodgers Nudge Pirates To Take
Over First In National League
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press International
It was a tough fight, ma,
but the Dodgers finally made
it to the top of the heap with
the aid of Roger (Skinny)
Craig, who has put them in
line for the fattest World Se
ries payoff ever.
Craig, a , sore-armed case
no one would've given a
plugged nickel for three
months ago, pitched the Dodg
ers into first place for the
first time since May 12th by
beating the Pirates, 2-0, Wed
nesday night.
The victory had the Dodgers
rubbing their hands on a num
ber of counts.
Primarily, of course, it
brought them visions of a
World Series which could
mean as much perhaps as $15,
000' per man. Then, too, it
meant that the six-foot-four,
189-pound Craig could be
counted on as a key man in
the stretch run.
Craig, whose combined won
lost total with Los Angeles
and St. Paul was 7-18 last
year, struck out seven Pitts
burgh batters and allowed
only six hits in fashioning
his sixth victory last night
against only two losses.
Until the eighth inning,
Craig and Vern Law both
pitched scoreless ball. Then
the Dodgers scored both their
runs on two singles, a walk
and , Don Zimmer's double.
That rally dealt the Pirates
their ninth straight loss and
knocked the Giants out of
first place.
The Phillies defeated the
Giants, 3-1; the Braves topped
the Cubs, 8-5, and the Reds
routed the Cardinals, 9-2, .in
other National league games.
Kansas City's suddenly
awakened Athletics made it
10 in a row with a 5-4 vic
tory over Washington in the
American league; Boston beat
Cleveland, 4-1; Baltimore
downed Detroit, 5-1, and Chi
cago and New York played
to a 4-4 tie in a game called
after six innings because of
rain.
Homers Fell Giants -
Home runs by Ed Bouchee
and Gene Freese of the Phils
proved the downfall of the
Giants. Southpaw Johnny An
tonelli yielded both homers
in the fourth inning.
Hank Aaron led Milwaukee
to within a game of first place
when he slammed a pair of
homers against the Cubs;
Aaron drove in three runs
with his 25th and 26th hom
ers and helped Lew Burdette
to his 14th victory.
Cincinnati came up with
six runs in the eighth to
clinch its victory over St.
Louis. The Reds' eighth-inning
rally was composed of five
hits and three walks.
The Athletics tightened
their hold on fourth place and
handed the Senators their
11th straight setback, .thus
dumping them into the AL
cellar.
Rookie Al Schroll out-pitched
Cal McLish.in the Red Sox
triumph over the Indians.
Schroll reeled off a six-hitter
and didn't walk a man in gain
ing his first triumph.
The Orioles converted two
errors by Tiger shortstop Coot
Veal into three early runs and
youngsters Jerry Walker and
Milt Pappas did the rest with
a combined six-hit victory.
Yogi Berra's 13th home run
of the season with one on in
the sixth earned the Yankees
their rain-abhreviated stale
mate with the White Sox. The
tie game, coupled with Bos
ton's victory over Cleveland,
increased the White Sox' lead
to a full game over the second-place
Indians.
Boysaw Gains
Bout Decision
Cleveland -(UPD Unheralded
Solomon Boysaw, who had to
wait four years for a main
event, scored a unanimous de
cision over third-ranked feath
erweight Flash Elorde in a
nationally-televised 10-round j
bout Wednesday night at the j
Cleveland Arena.
The Clevelander, 26, took :
charge early and consistently
connected with stiff right
hand leads. i
Elorde, 24 weighed in at
134, about eight pounds over
his normal fighting weight.
The added poundage seemed
to bother him in the closing
rounds and his timing was off
during most of the fight.

Giants Look
For Help
In Hitting
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco-(UPD-"Help!"
The San Francisco Giants
are on the skids and Manager
Bill Rigney started looking at
the farm system today for
somebody who -an hit.
The Giants were knocked
off Wednesday, 3-1, for their
fourth consecutive loss by the
up-and-coming, but last place,
Philadelphia Phils. ;
The whipping, coupled with
Los Angeles' victory, tumbled
San Francisco into second
place with the Dodgers taking
over first in the torrid Na
tional league pennant chase.
"We need some hitting,"
said Rigney. ""I've got some
ideas, but I don't know exact
ly what to do. Maybe we'll
have a long batting drill to
day; but maybe we should let
the boys go without practice.
After all they've been batting
since March."
Best guess is that the club
will call up Willie McCovey,
towering first baseman from
Phoenix of the Pacific Coast
league. Willie is hitting .375
and leading the loop in home
runs and runs batted in.
"We need one man to light
a spark on this team," said
the grim Rigney after the
defeat.

GEORGE SHAW
To New York Club
Grid Giants
Get Shaw
In Trade
Winooski Park, Vt. (UPD
The New York football Giants
today acquired veteran quar
terback George Shaw from
the champion Baltimore Colts
in exchange for a high 1959
draft choice and the Giants
No. 1 draft choice for 1960.
Shaw was the Colts' bonus
selection in the 1955 college
draft but lost his starting job
to Johnny Unitas two years
ago and has been Baltimore's
No. 2 man ever since.
The 26-year-old former
NCAA passing king stirred up
a hornet's nest this spring
when he notified the Colts
that he wanted to be traded
unless he could play more. No
amount of persuasion by Bal
timore coach Weeb Ewbank
could change Shaw's mind,
and he threatened to quit the
game unless he was dealt to
another NFL club.
The four-year veteran thus
becomes the fifth quarterback
candidate with the Giants this
season. Currently bidding for
the job in camp are Charlie
Conerly, Don Heinrich and
Frank Gifford, the all-league
halfback who is attempting to
make the big jump to quar
ter. Rookie Lee Grosscup, New
York's first draft pick this
season, is now with the Col
lege All-Stars, in Chicago. He
will join the Giants in Her
shey. Pa., Aug. 15.
The Giants, of course, will
not go into the regular cam
paign with five quarterbacks
on the roster.
"We may carry three," said
head coach Jim Lee Howell,
"but which three is some
thing that remains to, be
seen. Conerly, at the moment,
is still my starting quarter
back. And Gifford and Hein
rich ar? in the picture with
Shaw, too."
