Price taes rane- ed up to $25,000 per player. ine announcement came from American Leaeue Presi dent Joe Cronin who, on Tues day, also will referee a unique draft of major-league players in which the expanded circuit's newest members will acquire readmade rosters for their first season in 1961. The Tuesday session, first of its kind in the history of organized baseball, will be at tended by the owners and top officials of both new teams. Cronin said Gen. Elwood (Pete) Quesada, owner of the new Washington franchise, and both board chairman Gene Autry and President Bob Reynolds of the Amer ican league's Los Angeles club will attend the tworteam play er draft and, possibly, take an active hand in it. Special Draft Addition of the newly-revealed special minor league draft meant that the better part of $5 million will flow into the coffers of the existing American league from its new est members. Actually, the most both clubs could pay for players under the league's stocking program would be $4.6 mil lion. The final figure may be a few thousand dollars less, but the rock bottom player purchase price must be at least $4 million, or $525,000 per club. The new A.L. owners were not required to pay for their franchise rights but under the MedfordIITkibunk gipqpiHnrg Players Named to Squads For Copper Bowl Game Phoenix, Ariz. - (UPD - The first 28 players to be signed to participate in the third an nual Copper bowl football game at the Arizona State University stadium Saturday, Dec. 31, were disclosed yes terday by game sponsors.

Gravel arrangement, each of the eight existing clubs will re ceive at least that amount for players at $75,000 apiece in lieu of other compensation. The minor league draft could add as much as $400,000 to the total amount changing hands. In addtion, some league of ficials privately expect either or both new clubs to immedi ately launch a bargain counter trading campaign with the National league during the 50 hour gap between their roster selection and the end of the inter-league trading period Dec. 15. The player grab, already a complex operation, was furth er complicated by the decision of the owners to "make an ad ditional gift of minor league players at the regular draft price." This price ranges up to $25,000 per player. Ground rules laid down by Cronin go somthing like this: The owners, general mana agers, and field managers (if available), of the two new teams, will sit in on the closed door player picking session at 10:15 a.m. (EST) Tuesday.

MEDFORD, OREGON Minor Leaguers eight minor leaguers (one from each club) who were by passed in the recent minor league draft at St. Louis. The minor leaguers attain draft- able status by failing to move up in organized baseballs classification ladder during the past season. About 160 minor leagues are "available." When the session is over, both Washington and Los An geles must have purchased at least 28 players but not more than 36. Washington already has acquired three but they won't count. Major Qualification One other major qualifica tion has been imposed. Fred Haney, the Los Angeles gen eral manager, and general manager Ed Doherty or field manager Mickey Vernon, who ever is Washington boss, each must pick at least 10 pitchers, two catchers, six infielders and four outfielders as part of their list of 28. That leaves six picks at their own discre tion. The official list of 120 play ers as made up from their rosters by the eight entries will not be made public be fore, during or after the meet ing. Only those players chosen by the new teams will be identified.

Jones Boys Lead Celtics to First United Press International The whole town's talking about the Jones boys and that's why the Boston Celtics are back in first place with the Philadelphia Warriors to day. Sam and K. C. Jones, who play second fiddle to stars Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman, pro vided the Celtics with a sec ond quarter spark that guided the'" to a 146-123 victory over the Cincinnati P.oyals Friday night. . In the opening game of the NA doubleheadcr at Boston, Bob Pcttit's 36 points led the St. Louis Hawks to z 131-118 triumph over the Syracuse Nationals to strengthen their first place lead in the Western division. O'Brien Named GM Of Louisville Club Milwaukee - (UPD - The Mil waukee Braves Saturday an nounced appointment of Dan ny O'Brien as general mana ger of the Louisville Colo nels of the American Associa-! tion. O'Brien, assistant general manager last season, succeeds Joe Burke, who has resigned from the Braves' organiza tion to accept a post as assist ant to the general manager of the new Washington club of the American league. O'Brien, who comes f-om Elizabeth, N.J., had previous ly worked as business mana ger of the Braves' farm teams in Jacksonville, S.C., and Boise, Ida. lie relations director, says there probably will be some surprises in store insofar as player identity is concerned. While he admits that the pub lished lists of players prob ably submitted for the unique stocking session was "70 or 75 per cent correct," he also notes that in the cases of some teams, "they were way otf." It is, in fact, the belief of some American league offici als that the new Washington and Los Angeles teams, while certainly not pennant contend ers in their maiden seasons, could break out of the ninth and tenth place positions in the 1961 American league standings and "might even make it to seventh and eighth place." John Day Screening Saves Fish Portland-Salmon and steel head in the John Day river system have been given a new lease on life as a result of the rotary screening program of the game commission, in operation for the past five years. More than 400 of these ro tary fish savers are now in operation throughout the John Day river basin, Oregon state game commission has reported. From the time the first screen went into operation records have been kept on important tributaries of the number of downstream mi grant salmon and steelhead returned to the river to con tinue their journey to the sea. In 1956, not a single Chi nook salmon passed the by pass traps - a device installed on many screens which traps downstream migrants so an accurate tally can be made. During the migration season of 1957, a total of nine young Chinook salmon was counted, and in 1958, 38 of the young sters were tallied. The 1959 number reached 404 young chinooks through the traps and this summer saw 370 making their downstream journey. Steelhead Counlt Although the number of Chinook salmon is small, the importance of the rotary screens in the preservation of migrant fish is reflected in the steelhead counts over the same period of time which show a build-up simi lar in proportion as that shown by the small number of chinooks. - The steelhead passing through the traps in 1956, the first year the screens went into operation, showed a total of 29,324. In 1957, only 9,665 young steelhead were tallied, and in 1958, some 12,600 pass ed through the traps. The by pass traps took just over 56,- 000 young steelhead in 1959 and during the past summer more than 54,800 were count ed through the stations. Although the irrigation sea son is over, four . rotary screens are still in operation in the John Day drainage on two important steelhead trib utaries, which should bring the total 1960 tally to a little higher figure than the figure given. Cougars Down Logger Quintet Cave Junction-Illinois Val ley high hoopsters, with Frank Blair putting in 13 points and Bud Hill 12, subdued Butte Falls 65 to 42 on Fri day. The IV gang had 17 to 6, 35 to 11 and 52 to 30 period gaps. Neil Ellis totaled 11 points for Butte Falls, which had 31 to 30 scoring edge for the second half. Twelve IV Cougars saw service and 11 scored. Well, take a deep breath, kick off your shoes, relax and . .' . oh-oh-wait a minute! Check back over that list again.

CORNISH Washington - lUPtl - Leading heavyweight contender Charles (Sonny) Liston faces the toughest fight of his life Monday. Senate boxing investigators plan to swing this hard ques tion at him: Is he controlled behind-the- scenes by three of the nation's top gangsters? The answer may determine whether Liston ever gets a crack at boxing's most coveted prize - the heavyweight cham pionship of the world. State and city athletic com missioners would be faced with the decision of whether to bar him from the ring if any link with the underworld was proved. The commissions have the power to smiff out his career. St. Louis racketeer John J, Vitale refused to tell the in vestigating subcommittee Fri day whether he and two other mobsters arc Liston s under cover managers. Tne other gangsters are Frankie Carbo, reputed under world czar of boxing, and Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Phil adelphia numbers king. Chairman Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) warned the scowl ing Vitale that he would "do everything possible" to cite him for contempt of Congress. But the racketeer stuck by the Fifth amendment in refusing to answer the question. In other testimony yester day, million sportsman Jsmes D. Norris said Carbo was an influential figure in arranging championship bouts involving Jake La Motta; Carmen Ba- silio. and Willie Pep, all one time champs. Paret Retains Welterweight Championship New York - (UPD - Young Benny Kid Paret of Cuba, making his first defense of the world welterweight crown, pressed 32-year-old Federico Thompson of Argen tina with a relentless hooking barrage in nearly every round Saturday night and won unanimous lS-round decision over the blood-smeared chal lenger. Paret, weighing 147 pounds to Thompson's 145V4, broke the Argentine slugger's un- bec'm string at 32 straight bouts, including two draws. One of those draws, in the same Garden ring on March 25, resulted in- the previous non-title bout between Paret and Thompson, before Benny won the crown. Thompson put up a game battle against the 23-year-old Paret but lacked the stamina to keep fighting every second of every round like the per- petual-motion Cuban. Willamette and Linfield Lose United Press International Two of Oregon's top small college basketball teams, Wil lamette and Linfield, failed against Washing ton schools Friday night. The Bearcats, unbeaten ana with three victories, dropped 90-64 decision to Pacific Lutheran and Linfield lost to Puget Sound, 79-68. In other games involving Oregon small colleges, Port land Slate topped Central Washington, 47-42; Chlco Stale defeated Southern Oregon, 75-66; Lewis and Clark came up with a 106-64 win over Oregon College of Education, and Oregon Tech beat Hum boldt State, 63-55. Leon Wilson and Bob Peter son each hit 16 points in Ore gon Tech's win, Portland State came from three points behind in the second half to achieve its victory. A Reminder Christmas cards mail ed?

The 32-year-old native of San Francisco announced Fri- ay night that he was retiring from baseball "to devote more time to my family and my business." McDougald, father of four children, is owner of a build ing maintenance business in New Jersey. During his 10 years with the Yankees, McDougald ap peared in eight World Scries and four All-Star games, wind ing up his career with a .276 batting average. He is probably the only player in history who appear ed in World Series play as regular at second base, third base and shortsop, and he was named on American league all-star squads at all three po sitions. McDougald said he notified the Yankees of his intention to retire at the end of last sea son but was told to "think over." i. At the time, I didn't know if this expansion thing would go through or not, he added. "Now, with the new teams in the league, it would have meant I would be away from home more often, so I decided I to chuck it." U.S. Moves Ahead Of Italian Netters Perth, Australla-IUPII - The United States Davis Cup ten nis team move' to a 2-0 lead over Italy Saturday when big Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, rallied to defeat Nicola Pictrangcli, 8-6, 3-6, 8-10, 8-6, 13-11, in a match interrputcd by darkness Friday.
