(UPI Telephoto) Radical Change Proposed In Coast League Etuies Seattle-IUPI)-If the baseball ors hoped to finalize the full rules committee is willing, the Pacific Coast league this year will introduce a "radical ' change" to baseball, permit ting poor-hitting pitchers to let good hitters take their turns at the plate. The PCL directors, meeting here Saturday to complete all details making Hawaii a full fledged league member, de cided to submit their non-hitting pitchers idea to Jim Gal lagher, Philadelphia, chair man of the rules committe, im mediately. Dewey Sorano, president of the PCL, told reporters the proposed change in rules would lead to "closer, faster, more interesting games." "We're all for it," Soriano said, "and we want to be the guinea pigs to try it out." Set Schedules The directors settled the opening day schedule for the 1961, giving Hawaii permis sion to open April 20 at home against Vancouver, a day ahead of the official league opening. On official opening day Seattle will be at San Diego, Spokane at Tacoma and Portland at Salt Lake schedule late Saturday and release the printed schedule early next week. Soriano conceded the idea of a pitcher skipping his turns at bat in favor of better hit ters "is a radical thought, but progress in baseball has stay ed still for 60 years. The Pa cific Coast league wants to move forward. We have a pro gressive group of directors." The proposed rule change would give the manager of each team the option of de termining before the start of each game whether his start ing pitcher would hit or not. Save Time "This would save a lot of bullpen time," Soriano ex plained. "It would eliminate the situation of walking a good hitter to get at a weak hitting pitcher. It would per mit such tremendous hitters as Ted Williams, Joe Dcmag gio and others to continue their baseball careers as pure hitters. In general, it would make a livelier, quicker ball game." In other action at this morn ing's session, the PCL direct ors elected N. G. Morgan Jr., City. Soriano said the direct-1 Salt Lake City, director for Dave Hill, Denver, Colo., ana holes, where he got home in five ahead of Roberto de Vi- cenzo, the South American who plays out of Mexico City. Despite his great effort, however, Kroll had to share the spotlight with Big Bill Casper, the roundsman from Apple Valley, Calif., who cracked a 19-year-old Pebble Beach course record when he turned in a seven-under-par 65. The old mark was set by amateur Bud Brownell in 1942. Gaini 3 Strokes Casper was 16 strokes off the pace to start the day and moved past about 50 men in the field. But he gained only three strokes on Kroll, who was the second round co-leader with Bill Collins, Crystal River, Fla. Kroll, wounded three times in fighting in Europe during World War II, fought the gales on Pebble Beach more easily today. He had two birdies on the front nine on the par-five two eacn time, and posted a 35. The weather was calm and sunny for this part of his game. Winds Com But when the winds came up, Kroll caught on fire. He knocked in a 25-foot birdie putt on the 11th, and he chip ped into the cup from 50 feet for a birdie-deuce on the 205 yard 13th hole. On the 400 yard, par-four 16th he had an "impossible" second shot to a green that is completely sur rounded by traps. He had to fade a five iron around a tree, keeping the ball low and still make it stick on the green. He did - the ball winding up four feet from the pin and another birdie. He finished with a 33. The 23-ycar-old Hill, play ing at Cypress Point, was five under par after 10 holes. But he got caught in the winds and bogicd the 15th, 16th and 17th to end up with a two-under-par 70. SUNDAY, JANUARY 22, 1961 o o Tribuni Medford Grapplers Win From Ashland GOW OF HAViNG- A FAULTY AfFFlIR? the Hawaii action. Morgan is owner of the Hawaii team. Walter Cosgriff, president of the Salt Lake City club, was elected director for the Bees, replacing Morgan. W. D. Rosey Ryan, Tacoma manager, was elected third vice presi dent, replacing W. B. Gol song, Sacramento. Henry Peters, farm direct or for the Kansas City Ath letics of the American league, also attend the meeting. Kans as City has a full working agreement with Hawaii. Ha waii will gel 15 players from the Kansas City farm system. Travel Payments Soriano said payment ar rangements for mainland teams traveling to Hawaii also was agreed upon. The system will give mainland teams the difference between the cost of traveling to Sacramento and the cost to Hawaii. Con sequently, it will cost Hawaii approximately $75,000 in ad ditional travel funds to be in the league. When asked if the non-hitting pitchers proposal might eventually lead to "two-platoon" baseball, Soriano said such a possibility was doubt ful. "Really, the pitcher is the only real problem in the bat ting lineup," he said. The week's concentration showed up in competition Fri day night as the Medford high wrestling team defeated Ash land 46 to 4. Tornado Coach Art Keith had his grapplers devote much of their week's practices to the art of takedown. As a result the Medford's recorded 13 takedowns to the Grizzlies' four. Medford alsovas tops in reversals seven to zero, in near falls four to one and in pre dicaments three to zero. Ash landers had the better of it in escapes four to two. Bill Owens, 136, and Jerry Pitts, 106, wrestling in their first varsiety dual meet, won by pins for the Tornado. John Stroup, 115, won his first match of the year with a first round fall. He had dropped two tussles since turning out in late December. Horton Wins In the 98-pound scrap, Med ford's Mike Horton recovered from art early deficit to win 5 to 2 over Nelson Conner with whom he had broken even in a December match. Conner, freshman conference winner last season, took the lead Friday with a first round takedown. Horton caught up with a reversal and went on from there. Medford showed its aggres siveness by winning eight matches by falls. Those tak ing the pins were Pitts, Stroup, Owens, John dePlace, Larry Gunn, Al Funstin, Chuck Holt and Monte Jones. Tornado matmen also took the prelim 40 to 11 with mar gins of 11 to three on take downs, eight to four on re versals, six to three on near fall and three to one in pre dicaments.

THRIFT AUTO SUPPLY OPEN SUNDAY Title Bout Postponed New York-IUPII-The Archie Moore-Eric Schoeppner light heavyweight title fight in Madison Square garden has been postponed until Saturday night, May 27, it was announc ed tonight by Humbert (Jack) Fugazy, executive director of Feature Sports, Inc. The bout was originally scheduled for March 20 or 21 in the Garden, but it was post poned two months "because Moore wanted a little extra I time to reduce," Fugazy said. 1 Moore, still recognized as ! world champion in New York, California and Europe, origin ! ally was supposed to meet ! Schoeppner in a title bout at Toronto last July. But that fight was postponed indefin itely when Moore claimed a leg injury and asked addition al time to pare down to the 175-pound limit. Fugazy also admitted that another reason for the latest postponement was the refusal of Telcpromptcr, Inc., to ar range a closed-circuit theatre' television package for the March date. "Thev (Telcpromptcr) are not interested in the fight so we need more lime to arrange a decent TV deal," Fugay said.
