Diamond Loop Presidents Predict Sensational 1 960 Pennant Races New York - fllM-MaJor league baseball fani will see two more sensational pennant races this year, according to National and American league presidents Warren Giles and Joe Cronin. In dispatches written for United Press International Giles said the National league White Sox, Giants Picked by Experts New York -flJTO- The Chi cago White Sox will repeat but the Los Angeles Dodgers will be dethroned by the San Francisco Giants. That's the forecast for the two I960 pennant races made by the United Press Interna tional's 50-man board of base ball experts. The board is com posed of United Press Interna tional Sports Editor Leo H. Peterson and UPI baseball writer Milton Richman in ad dition to 48 writers, three from each city in the leagues, who saw the teams in spring training. The White Sox were picked San Francisco For Opening San Francisco - (UPD - San Francisco, tabbed by the UPI Board of Experts as the Na tional league pennant favo rite, rested today as it readied for their season's opener to morrow. A crowd of 45,000 Including Vice President Nixon - is ex pected to be on hand at the newly completed Giant ball orchard, Candlestick Park to watch the Giants and St. Louis Cards have at it. Yesterday, the San Francis cans closed out their exhibi tion slate with an 8-4 defeat at the hands of Los Angeles before an overflow crowd of 10,139 at Sacramento's Ed mund Field. Two Each The clubs thus wound up their four-game pre-season barnstorming series with two victories each. The Giants ex hibition record was an enig matio 13-13 while the defend Mng world champion Dodgers settled for a 12-10 mark with one tie tossed in. The Giants had trouble against the tough Dodger hurling trio of Larry Sherry, Bright Years Forecast for Aaron, Drysdale New York-ffiPD-Don Drys dale of the Los Angeles Dodg ers and Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves were pick ed today to be the National league's outstanding players of 1960. The United Press Interna tional's board of baseball ex perts, composed of 50 writers and broadcasters who saw the teams in spring training, made side-wheeling Drysdale a hair-line choice over John ny Antonelll of the San Fran cisco Giants for pitching hon ors. But no less than 43 of the 60 experts picked the 26-year-old Aaron to win the 1960 batting title in the greatest "vote of confidence" ever given a player since the poll was begun. Prospect high defeated Butte Falls 11 to 0 Friday in the Jackson County B league baseball opener for both schools. RUNNING INTO BILLS AND OUT OF MONEY?

The muscular Giants powdered 50 homers in their 26 exhibition contests. The Dodgers hit but 22 in 23 contests. Sherry Set As Starter Wednesday By FRED DOWN United Press International The Los Angeles Dodgers cleared the decks for the open ing of the National league sea son today with World Series hero Larry Sherry, the great "finisher" of 1959, slated for duty as a starter. The 24-year-old right-hand er was listed as a possible starter against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday after a final tune-up Sunday in which he allowed one run and one hit in three innings against the San Francisco Giants. A crowd of 10,139 at Sacramen to saw the world champions complete their exhibition cam paign with an 8-4 victory over the Giants. Manager Walt Alston, who promised Sherry he would get a chance to start if he had a strong spring, indicated the big right-hander had won his battle. Sherry, who won two games and saved two others in the World Series after corn oiling a 7-2 record over the second half of the 1959 sea son, argued that his career would be shortened if he was used primarily as a relief pitcher. Moon, Larker Had Wally Moon hit two doubles and Norm Larker drove in two runs to lead a 13-hit at tack that brought the Dodgers their 12th win in 22 exhibi tion games. The Giants finish ed their Grapefruit League season with a 13-13 record. The St. Louis Cardinals completed one of their most successsful spring seasons in history with a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs that gave them an 18-8 Grapefruit mark.

I also feel the pennant might be won in 1960 with fewer victories than the rec ord low of 88 wiUi which the Dodgers won in 1959. "A study of annual at tendance figures provides positive evidence of the con tinued growth of the popu larity and appeal of major league baseball," Giles con tinued. "Prior to 1946, the National League never drew as many as 6-million in one season and not since 1946 has our attendance been less than 6-million. The National league has drawn more than 9-mil-lion the last four years . . ." Top Condition "All American league clubs will be in top condition by opening day and a tremen dous pennant race is in pros pect, said Cronin. ' M any brilliant newcomers will take their places alongside the familiar American League veterans and the several play ers who battled to stardom during the memorable 1959 season. "To attempt a prediction of the 1960 pennant race seems truly fool - hardy," Cronin went on. "Several clubs are evenly matched, and all are strengthened in every depart ment of play, almost without TORONTO WINS Sanford, Fla. - (UPD - The Toronto Maple Leafs edged Tacoma Sunday 4-3, after a walk with the bases loaded and two down in the ninth inning forced in the winning run. All three Tacoma runs were scored in the first inn ing, but the Leafs tallied one in the third and two in the fifth when Jim King homered. Marshall Renfro walked in the winning marker in the final frame to give the Giants a 10-10 exhibition slate for the year.

SPORTS I National Loop Pilots Comment New York-dTD-Here's what the eight National league man agers have to say on the eve of the 1960 pennant race: Walt Alston, Dodgers: "You can't keep from being en thusiastic with all the fine looking youngsters we have.

Charlie Dressen, Braves: "I think we have a better team than Los Angeles and I feel we can beat the Giants, too.

ASPHALT DEPOSIT Santa Fe - One of the few asphalt deposits in the United States is located near Santa Rosa in New Mexico, Public Disaster Map Received by Local Chamber Copies of a public disaster map from the Consulting En gineers Association of Oregon have been received by Med ford City Manager Robert A. Duff and Don McNeil, man ager of the Medford Chamber of Commerce. The consulting engineers some months ago set up a pub lic disaster committee, to be called upon in case tragedy should strike an Oregon com munity. The map has divided Oregon into disaster districts with the name and telephone number of a disaster contact engineer. Medford is in a dis trict headed by W. J. Mar quess, Medford, telephone SPring 2-7115. The association, composed of enginers in private prac tice, suggested to Medford of ficials that copies of the map be kept available. In case of disaster, the general proced ure should be for a Medford official to call the district dis aster contact engineer. May Be Designated He, in turn, will notify the president of the Consulting Engineers Association of Ore gon or an officer he may have designated. The disaster con tact engineer will then go to the scene of the disaster. Meanwhile, the association will assign additional consult ing engineers to the stricken area, depending upon the types of specialists needed. Consulting engineers are spe cialists in engineering works, such as water systems, sewers, roads and highways, electrical and mechanical equipment of buildings and electrical power distribution systems. These are the types of installations which are often destroyed first in a disaster, the associa tion noted. The consulting engineers' public disaster committee was formed following experiences at the Roseburg explosion last August, when engineers had an opportunity to discharge their professional responsibil ity in such cases to the public at large. Consulting engineers, on a volunteer basis, exam ined the wrecked structures and advised Roseburg city of ficials which buildings and facilities could be used imme diately. The volunteer work drew warm praise from Rose burg city officials. Pope Reinforces 1 Birth Control Stand Rome-flJPD-Pope John XXIII reinforced the Roman Cath olic Church's position to birth control Sunday by urging par ents "not to have any fear" of bringing large families into the world. The Pope, speaking at Palm Sunday ceremonies at the Basilica of St. Paul's, said parents should ask divine providence to help them raise and educate their sons and daughters for the glory of God and country. He said Christ would tri umph in the world and bring peace, prosperity and charity both in family and social re lations.

For More Information, Call KC 5-2243 KE 5 - Bill To Give Free TV Time To Politicians Has Trouble By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) Sen. Warren G. Magnuson ID Wash.) is running into heavy opposition from the television industry to his bill that would in effect pro vide for week ly debates by the two presi dential candi dates on TV this fall. The bill would imple- vtan on Mm) A. KodL Smith . advanced recently by Adlai Stevenson for giving each par ty's presidential nominee a weekly half hour of free net work television time in which to give full expression to his views on the issues confront ing the nation. The TV networks them selves have not protested di rectly to Magunson about the proposal. But many TV sta t i o n s have communicated their opposition. Magnuson said it looks like the networks have stimuated local stations into expressing unfavorable views to members of Congress from the states in which they are located. Hearings Planned Magnuson is going ahead with the legislation, however. His committee. Senate Inter state Commerce, has tenta tively scheduled hearings for after the Easter recess. The Washington state senator said he hopes to have Stevenson as the lead-off witness, along with any other former presi dential candidates who might enlighten the committee and the country about the burden of conducting a nationwide campaign. Magnuson has already had a conference with the nation al chairman of both parties, Paul Butler for the Demo crats and Sen. Thruston Mor ton for the Republicans. He said they have both agreed to the free TV idea. Stevenson advanced the idea as a partial solution to the growing high cost of po litical campaigns. He main tained that brief appearances on TV and radio for the sake Tiros Discovers Full Hurricane Washington-IUPl) - Tiros I, America's seeing eye satellite, has discovered a fully-develop ed hurricane or typhoon east of Australia. Dr. F. W. Reichelderfer, chief of the U.S. Weather Bu reau, said Sunday night the discovery "gives hope that with future weather satellite camera systems" man will be able to obtain advance warn ings about tornadoes. The bureau said that its scientists at Ft. Monmouth, N. J., received pictures of the hurricane Sunday morning. It said the storm was placed about 800 miles east of Bris bane. Reichelderfer sent a tele gram to Dr. L. J. Dyer, direct or of the Australian meteoro logical bureau, notifying him about the hurricane. Confidence Men Charge for Census Los Angeles - (UPD - Confi dence men are trying to col lect $10 from unsuspecting residents as a fee for taking census reports. C. W. Baker, of the regional office of the U. S. Census Bureau, said the con men are following real census takers around. Shortly after a census count has been taken, the con men rap on a homeowner's door, and say, "your census has just been taken and I'm here to collect the $10 fee." So far no one has paid up as far as Is known, Baker said. 2243 lip of economy result in over simplified speechmaking for the sake of necessary brevity. The TV industry is object ing on financial grounds chief ly. Although the networks haven't officially given their view to Magnuson, CBS Vice President Richard Salant re cently said in a speech that this proposal would cost the Industry $8 million in TV time that could be sold to commercial sponsors. This estimate is doubtless based on the requirement in Magnuson's bill that the time allotted to the candidates shall be "in prime viewing hours." which means after dinner as a rule. During the eight weeks preceding the election, the networks would be required to provide a one hour program, equally divid ed between the two candl dates "without intervening commercial material." The night of the week would be up to the industry, but the final program would have to be presented Monday night before election day. At Candidates' Expense The only other political candidates who would benefit by this bill would be the vice presidential running mates. They could, if their party wished, utilize no more than two of the half-hour segments allotted to their party. The bill provides that in cases where the program could not be carried simulta neously with its broadcast presumably in Instances of stations that are not affiliated with a network, "any ex penses incurred in recording and distributing such simul taneous broadcast for later use shall be borne by the can didates." The power to enforce the provisions of the bill would come under the authority of the federal communciations commission to observe each station's compliance when considering renewal of broad cast licenses.

Other Free Time Seen Others are fearful free TV time for presidential candi dates will lend in turn to the same provision for congres sional and local candidates for office.

He points out that TV stations re ceive a free grant from the federal government of the right to broadcast on assigned frequencies which no competi tor can then use. Anyone with the capital can start up a com peting newspaper or maga zine, but no amount of capi tal will permit a new competi tor to enter the TV Industry If all the frequencies have been granted to others In ad vance, he observed. With industry opposing the bill, despite bipartisan sup port for it, it will be nip and tuck if the Magnuson bill can get through both houses be fore Congress quits in July to let the big campaign begin. 88 s.ro-is TUSf-TYPi MACKWAU plus excise tax and trade-in tire HE laaj Tyea MS -wmt i Gard protection give more stort power, longer because they resist corrosion, No. 1 bat tery killer.
