Giants Will
Shift Club
Tacoma
Phoenix, Ariz. -JUPB- Phoe
jiix, considered ideal for
draining purposes of the San
Francisco Giants, proved lit
irally "too hot" for the Pa
cific Coast league today
prompting a retreat to the
pooler climate of Tacoma,
3Vash.
General Manager Rosy
3yan of the PCL Giants, prin
cipal farm club of San Fran
yisco, announced the team's
franchise would be shifted to
Tacoma next year because of
poor attendance here.
"It's just a question of bus
iness," Ryan explained. "We
can't afford to lose $140,000
to $150,000 a year."
Blames Heat
He blamed 100-degree plus
desert heat for poor crowds,
with the Giants expected to
do no better than 80,000 this
year. The same south Phoenix
park handled 100,000 or more
for a first division Class C
club in past years.
While Phoenix has contem
plated building a bigger and
better park in the more centrally-located
northeast part
of the city, nothing has been
done in the two years the
Giants played here. And even
promises didn't make up for
complaints from other PCL
owners that they could not
pay hotel bills out of income
from games in Phoenix.
Other drawbacks to the
Phoenix PCL picture includ
ed lack of fan interest after
exposure to the big league
Giants in spring training; a
wide diversity of amusements
and the fact many Phoeni-
cians simpjy taice to tne miis
in the summer.
Continental
Confidence
Bolstered
By JOHN GRIFFIN
New York-(UPD-The newly
formed Continental league,
bursting with increased confi
dense as a result of President
Branch Rickey's first meeting
with baseball's top brass,
turned today to its next big
job, the selection of three
more cities to complete the
eight-team loop.
"All eight clubs will have
a team on the field in 1961
without any question," said
the 77-year-old Rickey, who
was named Tuesday as first
president of the proposed
third major league.
The beetle-browed, cigar
smoking Rickey declared that
his confidence in the new
league's future was boosted by
his meeting with Commission
er Ford Frick and other top
officials of organized baseball
Tuesday because "all my an
ticipations were fully rea
lized as to their cooperation."
; William A. Shea, the dyna
mic New York attorney who
sparked the new league as
chairman of the founders'
group, pin-pointed Rickey's
first major task as league
head when he disclosed that
picking three more franchise
cities is "our very next
project."
Five Cities Already
Five cities already are in
the Continental loop as
"founding cities"-New York,
Denver, Houston. Toronto,
and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
The three additions, which
will be picked "on the basis
of .applications and further
analysis" according to Shea,
atre expected to come from
among Buffalo, N.Y., Atlanta,
Miami, Fla., Seattle, San Di
ego, Montreal, Dallas-Fort
Worth, and San Juan, P.R.
A three-man group repre
senting Atlanta was scheduled
to discuss its case with Shea
today. The group, composed
of Chicago attorneys Robert
Chatz and Jack Shafer and in
vestor Lee Stern, holds an op-
tioa on the Atlanta franchise
of the Southern association
for which present owner Earl
Mann is asking $1,200,000.
Even before the league's
lineup is set, however. Rickey
is moving on toward the solu
tion of what has been called
the new loop's biggest prob
lem where it will get the ap
proximately 200 players it
needs.
Rickey, President Warren
Giles of the National league,
and President Joe Cronin of
the American league were ap
pointed by Frick Tuesday as
a special committee to inves
tigate this problem.
Two of the cross-country
events advisors for the eighth
Olympic Winter Games at
Squaw Valley, Calif., Feb. 18
28, 1960, are Wendall Broom
hall and Allison Merrill.
Broomhall, from Rumford,
Me., is a former member of
many U.S. Olympic, and FIS
championship teams, while
Merrill is the highly success
ful ski coach at Dartmouth
college.
Rheumatism is compara
tively rare in warm climates.

Oregon Waterfowl Hunt
Season To Follow Dates
Of Federal Specification
Portlarid-fflPD-A straight 94-
day season for Oregon water
fowl hunters starting at noon
0 Qct. 7 and extending
through Jan. 8 of 1960 was
announced late Monday by
the state game commission.
The dates were announced
after federal regulations were
received.
In previous years states had
some leeway in selecting wa
terfowl dates. But this year
federal rules were specific in
setting the seasons, with states
choice of dates no earlier than
noon on Oct. 7 and the closing
date no later than Jan. 8.
The Oregon commission se
lected the prescribed dates
since a split or choice season
would have shortened allow
able shooting days.
The daily shooting time will
begin at . sunrise instead of
one half hour before sunrise
as in previous years.
A curtailed dues bag limit
is the rule this year. Low pro
duction in the prairie prov
inces influenced -federal agen
cies to eliminate the baldpate
and pintail from the bonus
bird status and return them
to the regular bag limit.
Oregon gunners will be al
lowed a daily bag limit of 5
ducks with 10 in possession.
In addition the bag and pos
session limit would allow
only two of the number to be
canvasbacks, redheads or rud
dy ducks. The inclusion of one
wood duck and one hooded
merganser in the bag limit
was kept.
No additional restrictions
were placed on goose hunters.
Bag limits remain the same
as last year of 3 geese daily
or in possession, plus 3 snow
geese.
Brant hunters were given a
60-day season starting Nov. 10
and extending through to Jan.
8. The bag limit remained the
same, 3 daily or in posses
sion. Coot Season
The coot season will run
concurrently with the duck
and goose season. Jacksnipe
can be taken from Oct. 31
through Nov. 29 with a limit
of 8 daily or in possession.
The limit on coot is still 25
daily or in possession.
The commission also an
nounced that the Malheur
shooting grounds would be
closed due to a lack of water.
It said a complete list of
restrictions for local areas
and a shooting timetable will
be included in the Oregon
synopsis for waterfowl which
will be available soon at li
cense outlets.
Other bird seasons for Ore
gon include:
Mourning Dove-Sept. 1-30.
Band-tailed Pigeon-Sept. 1
30 Blue and Ruffed Grouse
Sept. 5-13 eastern Oregon and
Oct. 3-11 western Oregon.
Sage Grouse-Sept. 5-12-in

Brown To Keep
Watchful Eye
On Bob Ptacek
United Press International
Coach Paul Brown will have
a sharp eye on rookie Bob
Ptacek when the Cleveland
Browns take on the Detroit
Lions in a National Football
league exhibition game at Ak
ron, Ohio, Saturday night.
Ptacek, former University
of Michigan backfield star,
was yoted the most valuable
player for the College All
Stars last Friday in a 29-0
losing cause against the Bal
timore Colts.
Baltimore's league cham
pions might have mounted the
score except for Ptacek's
slashing taokles and his abil
ity to become a fifth man in
the Colts' backfield on many
plays.
Brown intends using Pta
cek as a defensive detective
against the Lions. Other AU-
Star rookies in the Cleveland
lineup are tackle Francis
O'Brien, guard John Wooten
and end Rich Kreitling.

Fishing on the- upper

kle, Mrs. Person hooked a
huge German brown trout.
Mrs. Person, wife of Woody

about 20 minutes to land
the fish which was 2414
inches long and weighed
more than six pounds dress

twisted the leader that it
