Third League Meets
With Organized Ball
New York- (CPU Organized
baseball meets officially to
day with founders of the pro
posed third major league, the
Continental league, at the
first of what Baseball Com
missioner Ford Frick thinks
will be a series of conferences.
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.

Portland-(UPD-Several Port
land area residents reported

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

Any suggestion like that

move by certain people who
are opposed to the formation

tually do not want major

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."

This prompted a desire

"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

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.

Pacific Flyway Not
Drastically Reduced
In '59-60 Duck Shoot
Washington (UPD - The fish
and wildlife service announc
ed today a drastic curtailment
in the 1959-60 duck hunting
season for all flyways except
the Pacific.
Because of sharp reductions
in the duck population gener
ally the most restrictive hunt
ing rules since 1947 have been
adopted for the coming sea
son. The Pacific flyway was ex
empted because flocks" there
are expected to be larger than
in other areas.
Daniel J. Janzen, director
of the Interior department's
bureau of fisheries and wild
life said the curtailment else
where applies to shooting
hours and bag and possession
limits as well as to the season
itself.
The object, he said, is to
cut the annual kill by one
third to one-half.
Exceptions were Alaska,
Montana and Wyoming, which
feed the Pacific flyway. Pro
duction there was better than
last year.
The Pacific flyway which
includes Arizona, California,
Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, i
and Washington will have an
open season on ducks geese
(except Ross' geese), coots, and
gallinules not to exceed 94
days between Oct. 7 and Jan.
8, inclusive.
Bag Limits Set
' These states also are afford
ed the option of selecting a
single bag and possession lim
it of 6 ducks or they may se
lect a daily bag limit of 5
ducks and a possession limit
of 10. In either case the bag
and possession limit may in
clude only 2 canvasbacks, or
2 redheads, or 2 ruddy ducks,
or 2 of these Species in ag
gregate. The daily bag and posses
sion limits on ducks may in
clude 1 wood duck and 1 hood
ed merganser.
In addition to the limits on
ducks, the daily bag limit on

mergansers is 5, possession 10,

Senator Would Include
Baseball in Legislation
Washington -(UPD- Sen. Ken

today he would seek to in

to grant exemptions from cer

The new measure was intro
duced in the Senate Monday.
It would ignore baseball.
Keating said the new bill
fails to protect "the sport
(baseball) which most needs
to be protected." The New
York Republican said he
would offer an amendment in
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee to include baseball in the
measure.

indicating that a strong at
tempt may be made to secure
