Va. -fOPD- The San Juan Marlins of the International Baseball league, lured on by a $1 a year ball park rental fee, announced Wednesday they were leaving Puerto Rico for Charleston. The Marlins will finish, out the season with Charleston's Watt Powell Park, formerly used by the old Charleston Senators of the American As sociation, as home base. The rental will be $1 annually. San Juan General Manager Joe Ryan said the club would meet Jersey City here Friday in the opened of a three-game series that ends Sunday. The Marlins have 49 more home games scheduled after the Jer sey City series. Ryan said the switch to Charleston was being made "because we don't wish to be responsible for the insolvency of the league or other clubs." The club ran into poor fan support from the outset of the campaign this season and sev eral of the league's owners have been pushing for a trans fer of the franchise back to the mainland. United Press International "We left a winner.'' The San Juan Marlins had that consolation at least today when they left Puerto Rico for their new state-side home in Charleston, W. Va;, because right down to the bitter end they gave the fans a . good show . ! . Less than 1,000 fans turned out to see the Marlins' last game in San Juan Wednesday but they saw a thriller in which the Marlins pulled out a 5-4 14-inning victory over the Richmond Virginians. More Spikers Could Qualify In Prep Meets There may be more quali fiers from Districts 6 A-l and 6 A-2 in the Oregon state track meets for the two classifies lfons this year than in past seasons. -For many years districts have qualified the first and second placers in each event. These performers will get berths again this year plus others who meet certain mini mum standards of time, height and distance in their district meets. v.yA trackman meeting the standard for an event gets the State meet berth providing his -school does not have more than two contestants in the "event. ' , : ' ' Minimum standards are: High hurdles - :15: low hurdles - 20.3 100 - ilO.l: 220 - :22.5; 440 - :51.5; 880 -2:01i mile - 4:32; relay - 1:32; shot put - 52 feet; discus -150 feet; javelin - 180 feet; broad jump - 22 feet; high jump - 6 feel; pole vault -12-3. - , The standards system is on a one-year trial basis. It Is pointed out that first and sec ond placers in districts go to state whether or not the stand ards are met. ) Hoover Track Team Trims Oak Grovers ; Hoover Grade school down ed Oak Grove 117 to 89 in a Tuesday track meet. Hoover won the A division 38 to 28 and the C competi tion 42 to 20. Oak Grove was 38 to 33 winner in Class B. Phil Taylor of Oak Grove went 8 feet in the pole vault to better the city mark of 7-8. He also won the shot put. OG's Ray McCraw tied the 4-6 city high jump mark in Class C and took the pole vault and 60-yard dash, COBB IN HOSPITAL Atlanta (UPDTy Cobb, the grand old man of baseball, rested comfortably in Emory university hospital here today where he is undergoing obser vation and test for chronic conditions of diabetes and arthritis. Hospital spokesmen said the 74-year-old Cobb, who was admitted Monday for the second time this year, was in "satisfactory" condi tion. Cobb, himself, described his condition as "good." Cavemen, Tornadoes A-1 Meet Favorites Grants Pass high and Med ford again loom high as the leading contenders for the team title when the District 6 A-l track and field meet is contested Saturday at the Ash land high oval. A check of the best efforts among scantclads in the dis trict (Southern Oregon con ference) this season shows Medford, GP and Crater with the bulk of the top times, heights and distances. It may be the scoring done by some of the lesser lights, however, that will determine the' team title. Depths will count con siderably and GP and Med ford have more depth of tal ent than the other schools. Still, the district team crown will be something of an incidental and secondary thing. Main objective is to qualify as many athletes' as possible for the state meet on the following week end at Corvallis. The meet will start at 10 a.m. Saturday with prelimi naries in the high hurdles, shot put, broad jump and javelin set for that time. Oth er morning prelims are plan ned for the 100 and 220-yard sprints, . the discus and the high and low hurdles. Finals get underway at 2:30 p.m. - Ashland high is host for the meet for the first time since the early 1950s and is having the meet at its own site for the first time since the late 1940s. ' Boys may enter two field and one track events, two track and one field event or three field events, plus the relay. Record of the best perform ances shows Medford with the top showings in five events and a tie for best in the other; Ashland's Voris has the best marks in the high and low hurdles. Crater's D w i g h t James has the top mark in the high jump and the Comet's Gary Wald is tied for tops in the 100-yard sprint. For Klamath Falls, Allen Phillips has the best throw in the javelin and Charley Rich- ey the best time in the 220. Grants Pass's Ken Marshall lists the fastest half mile time. Mike Curtis of the Cavemen is tops in the discus and Dave Ricks and Jay Hughes of GP best in the pole vault. Medford's Phil Humphreys is tied with Wald for the speediest 100. Other Torna does with bests are Hi Martin in the mile, Bob Mclntyre in the 440, Tom Bortis in the shot put, Mike Hood in the broad jump and the relay team of Hood, Humphreys, Mclntyre and Kent Blew. There's always the factor that best marks will not be matched. ' And, there are in stances where youths with the best marks have been beaten or tied by athletes of other schools this season. -, ( SEASON'S BEST MARK: High hurdles Vorls.
