Major League Ballplayers
Request Shorter Schedule
By SAM FOGG
United Preii International
Washington - IUPD - Major
League ballplayers, feeling
that 162 games are "too
much," today asked for a
curtailed schedule in 1963 and
said they would settle for a
slate of anywhere from 153
to 156 games.
At the same time, the play
ers voted unanimously for the
continuance of two All -Star
games next year.
Through their counsel,
Judge Robert Cannon, the 20
major league player repre
sentatives made a formal rec
ommendation that "a more
feasible schedule" be adopted
next year. They pointed out
that the existing schedules
pose numerous problems in
travel conditions and make it
impossible for them to play
their best brand of baseball.
The players' formal recom
mendation was sent to Com
missioner Ford Frick, who
will confer on the matter with
American League President
Joe Cronin and National
League President Warren
Giles.
Actually, the formulating of
the league schedules is en
tirely in the hands of Cronin
and Giles, but Frick can be
called in on a formal appeal
by the players.
Make Appeal Monday
They made that appeal Mon
day and Frank Scott, director
of the Major League Players'
Association, said, "The play
ers are confident that what
ever the commissioner does
will be in their best interests."
There had been speculation
that the players might agree
to scrap the second All-Star
game next year in return for
a shortened schedule, but
Scott said no such compro
mise was discussed.
"The players felt they
would cross that bridge when
they come to it," Scott said.
During the major league
meeting at Miami Beach, Fla.,
last December, the National
League showed a willingness
to go along with the players'
desire for two All-Star games
in 1963 but Cronin said the
American League would okay
the two games only for this
season.
"The American League still
feels the same way," Cronin
said Monday.

Frick is expected to confer
with the owners on the play
ers' request for a shortened
schedule. The owners are
scheduled to meet again in De
cember but they may hold a
special session before that to
Reminder Given
On Rules About
Antelope Tags
Portland - Elk and ante
lope hunters are reminded
that only those hunters who
have not received a cow elk
permit or an antelope tag in
the past two years may file
application for the 1962 hunts.
Persons who have received
such permits and tags are not
eligible to file applications.
This regulation of a two
year lapse for successful ap
plicants was adopted by the
game commission several
years ago on antelope and
last year on elk to distribute
the limited number of ante
lope tags and cow elk permits
among as many hunters as
possible.
Antelope hunters are also
reminded of a new regulation
this year which prohibits fil
ing party applications for the
hunts. Under this new ruling
each antelope hunter must file
an individual application.
Party applications for cow
elk permits will be allowed
this year, but the number of
applicants filing for a party
hunt next year will be cut
from four Individuals to two
individuals. Up to four appli
cants may file this year by
so marking on their applica
tion and sending all cards in
together.
Elk hunters planning to file
as a party are urged to
screen their hunting partners
carefully. If a single mem
ber of this group received an
elk permit during the past
two years, all hunters in the
party automatically become
ineligible.
Hunters are not restricted
in filing applications in the
units which permit bull elk
hunting on a permit basis
only. Hunters who received
bull permits last year may re
file again this year. These
areas include the Clatsop,
Trask, Siuslaw and Douglas
units.

get the matter settled before
the schedules are made up this
winter.
Bob Turley of the New
York Yankees was elected the
AL player representative at
Monday's meeting, replacing
Gene Woodling who recently
was sold by the Washington
Senators to the New York
Mets. Jim Bunning of Detroit

Interstate Deer
Herd Tabulated
Portland The interstate
deer herd which winters in
the Devils Garden country in
the Modoc national forest in
California and summers in
the Fremont national forest of
Oregon showed a minimum
number of just over 12,000
animals this spring. This is
the number obtained from the
annual track count completed
on May 18 by the Oregon
game commission and the
California department of fish
and game.
The interstate deer herd is
the only deer herd in Oregon
on which an accurate count
can be made. As the animals
move northward across the
state line road on their an
nual migration, the track tal
ly is made on a specially pre
pared strip 36 inches wide
and 23 miles long. The road
bed is smoothed out for track
counting every 48 hours.
Although the tally is accu
rate, it represents the mini
mum number of deer migrat
ing north. Some animals are
missed during inclement
weather, and where large
herds cross the road only
those tracks that can be defi
nitely determined are tallied.
This year's count of 12,112
deer compare with the 16
year average of 13,319 and a
count of 13,091 in 1961. The
lowest count during the 16
years was in 1948 when just
over 9,600 deer were tallied
while the highest count was
in 1954 when just over 17,600
deer were recorded.

officially as one of the coun
try's outstanding basketball
referees.
Word of Lightner's retire
ment was greeted with disbe
lief in not a .ew quarters be
cause friends, associates and
newsmen in search of stories
have b"en told many time be
fore that Al was hanging em
up.
But this time it was official.
Al has deserted the striped
hirt and whistle after 17
years in the big-time, includ
ing 13 NCAA regional tourna
ments, five national cham
pionships and two national
AAU tournaments.
But wherever he went the
colorful former minor league
baseball player who now is a
newspaper sports editor, at
tracted crowds-and frequent
ly trouble. Students in his
home country around Univer
sity of Oregon and Oregon
State used to go to basketball
games just to boo Al.
As a referee he made na
tional headlines more than
once. In 1956 he forfeited a
game at Berkeley, Calif., to
the University of Southern
California when the California
students started throwing pen
nies at the officials and the
players.
Protects Wilt
"1 hope next time they
throw dollar bills," said Light
ner. "They don't hurl as much
and they spend easier."
The next year he was ac
cused of protecting Negroes
Will Chamberlain and Maur
ice King of Kansas in an
NCAA regional game in
Texas ,
"I didn't intend going 2,000
miles to fight the Civil war
all over again," said Lightner.
But Al made a lot of
friends, too. There was the
night at Moscow, Ida., when
the fans closed in on him after
Oregon had beaten Idaho in a
bitter game. Lightner was be
ginning to wonder if he was
Loscutoff, an Oregon forward
now with the Boston Celtics,
"if you take him you're going
to have to take me too!" The
crowd dispersed with stun
ning stillness.
But if he won a lot, Light
ner lost a few. Unlike the ster
eotyped official who always
remains calm, Al go mad . . .
good and md, if pushed too
fur.
Persistant Heckler
They still talk about the
1955 NCAA regionitls at Cor
vallis, Ore., where Al was
working a consolation game
between Idaho State and Colo
rado State. Both coaches, the
fans and even the press box
were pitching static at the of
ficials. There was one per
sistent heckler, with a fog
horn voice, but Lightner
couldn't pick him out among
the players on the benches
and others in the area.
Finally one comment caught
Al's cars as he ran by. He
blew his whistle, snarled
"technical foul" and whirled
and pointed at the location of
the voice.
His finger aimed directly at
San Francisco sports writer
Boh Brachman.
In the expectant hush thai
followed Brachman's voice
"I got myself into this, I'll
got myself out of it," Lightner
muttered to himself.
He called a jump ball.
