Frick predicted today's con fab would be confined to "an exchange of information" and said that "several" meetings would be needed "before any concrete developments can be expected." There were reports that the Continental league, which an nounced a founding group of five cities (New York, Hous ton, Denver, Toronto, and Minneapolis-St. Paul) would tell Frick and Co. they are thinking of starting with a 10 team league, separated into two divisions. Scotched Rumor But Chairman William Shea of the new league founding - . i i mir group scoicnea rumors .Mon day that the new league mignt listen to an oner irom organized baseball to accept four or five Continental Portland Residents Feel Earthquake Portland-(UPD-Several Port land area residents reported fc1inff MnnHav nipht.' earth quake which was centered in southern Montana. No dam age was reported locally. Robert Harris, at a grocery distributing center in Clack amas, said that light fixtures swayed and he could feel the quake as he walked across the warehouse. William Bro- der, who lives in northeast Portland, said overhead lights swayed. A Beaverton woman said her house shook slightly. ACTION RESUMES Action resumes in the North west league tonight after the six clubs had the night off Monday. Tri-City is at Eu gene, Yakima at Salem and Wenatchee at Lewiston. Fanfare Congratulations to the Cen tral Point Crater Cubs for their Oregon Junior Baseball association championship. As one Central Point resident said, "Well we've finally won a state championship here." The Cubs defeated Woodburn, Albany and Eugene IOOF in the tournament at Eugene. Players- worked hard in fund raising activities in order to be able to make the trip and it seems quite obvious these efforts built up a morale which carried over and served a good purpose in the tourna ment. The Cubs provided prestige for southern Oregon baseball and give an indication that Crater high will have to be reckoned with in the diamond sport. There's a source of pride for Medford, too, for Bob Quinney from the Pear1 City joined the Cubs for the tourney jaunt and pitched in two of the contests. NO BACK SEAT When it comes lo this mat ter of morale those Capital City Shamrocks of Salem don't take a back seat to anybody. That was plainly seen as the Shamrocks fought lo the women's cham pionship of the Oregon Stale Softball association, coming back after a Friday loss lo win one game on Saturday and three on Sunday. There are those who may claim that the Shamrocks (in this case is a four-leaf clover) and that the Salem ites had the "luck of the Irish." Bui, it lakes hustle, fire and enthusiasm along with a will lo win lo make a real champion. The Sham rocks certainly displayed those qualities and the way they played on Sunday they deserved their champion ship. VISITING HOSTESSES Rogue Valley Dairy Maids were visitors as well as hos- - tesses for the state softball tournament at Camp White last week end. Although Me morial stadium is their home park, the Maids had the first turn at bat in the innings of each of the four tournament games they played. Its baseball tradition that the visiting team bats first I 1 lorf Cnmn different means of determin ing first and last ups, natural ly, are needed in a tourna ment. A coin flip was used league teams into the present major leagues. "No such offer will be made," said Shea. "It can't be Any suggestion like that would only be a diversionary move by certain people who are opposed to the formation of a third league and who ac tually do not want major league expansion in any form." Time of the Essence Shea stressed that "time is of the essence" for the new league, since it hopes to start operation in 1961. "There are basically four major points on which we seek enlightenment," said Shea concerning today's talks. "These involve players, terri torial rights, pensions, and what additional cities would best fit into our plans." Wednesday Meeting Invites Parents Of Black Tornadoes Parents of candidates for the 1959 squad will be briefed on Medford High school foot ball on Wednesday evening, Aug. 19.

The singing commercial is fa miliar lo all radio listeners. This prompted a desire theme songs for other clubs. "Farmer in the Dell" was suggested for the Dairy Maids but by thai lime they were out of the tournament. Mike Provost, domicilary announcer came up with "When Irish Eyes Axe Smil ing" for the eventual cham pion Salem Shamrocks. No appropriate song was found in lime for the Forest Grove Meadowlarks. "Too Much Baker." That's the way Fred Spiegelberg summed up the State's loss to Metro last Saturday night in the Shrine All-Star football game at Portland. Spiegelberg, who was head coach of the Staje club, is back in Medford to map preparations for the Medford high grid season. He is beginning his eighth season as Black Tornado head man. "I was real pleased with the kids. They played terrific ball," Fred commented con cerning the all-star game. He said that breaks fell against State, citing a touchdown call ed back and a pass interfer ence penalty on fourth down putting Metro deep in State territory. The tutor said that Mike Murray, Medford line man, played almost all the way on defense and did a real good job. Gary Winetrout, also of Medford, was a reserve for Bill Swain, North Bend, in the line. He did a good job, too, according to Spieg. The Spiegelbergs are back after two months absence. Fred was six weeks in the southwest Washington wheat harvest with his wife's family before going to Portland for the Shrine game practices.

"The operation difference stems from the fact that in the game of professional base ball a minor league problem exists which does not exist in the other sports."
