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.

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. Ashland tallied
three escapes to Medford's

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.

Blazing up after an unim
pressive start, the Medford
high Black Tornado geared to
a torrid field shooting pace
and thumped Ashland Friday
night in a Southern Oregon
conference basketball joust at
Ashland.
Off beam at the free toss
line but scorching from the
field with a .621 average on
36 goals out of 58 attempted,
Medford was victor 83 to 43.
It was second-place Med
ford's fifth win against one
setback in the league and the
Tornado's 10th victory in 12
games of the full season. Ash
land, performing better than
when it lost to the Big Wind
75 to 19, nevertheless was
dealt its 12th defeat in 1960
1961 contention.
With Bob Quinney running
up 15 points and Scott Eaton
14, Medford had 18 to 4, 45
to 15 and 62 to 23 standings
at the intermission. Gale Top
per, who got four field buck
ets on long range chances, in
the third quarter and tallied
all his points in the second
half, scored 11 for Ashland.
Hoots Tops Rebounding
The Tornado had rebound
control in the game 37 to 13
retrieves and Dave Hoots led
the Pear City club with nine.
Ashland oulscored the Tor
nadoes 18 to 17 in the third
panel. Medford reserves be
gan to replace star'ers in lhr.t
period. Still the Grizzlies at
that stage were making their
best showing of the night.
Tornado non-starters were
on duly through the final can
to. Coach Frank Roelandt had
all Medford reserves in the
contest during the last two
minutes of the first half.
The victors started slow In
the game and did the bulk of
their first canto scoring in
the last 3'2 minutes of that
section.
Ashland had a .360 firing
mark from the field. The Tor
nado put in 11 of 23 free op
portunities while the Grizzlies
dropped through seven of 14.

Medford which won the Jun
