approved boost in draft and
waiver prices.
No oflicial would permit him
sell to be quoted, but an authori
tative source indicated that tho
amendment to increase the
waiver price by 33 13 per cent
would be turned down by the
majors as well as the amend
ment to add territorial protec
tion for the minors from threats
of invasion by major league
clubs.
Meantime a poll of a majority
of big league club-owners indi
cated the game will be ruled by
a three-man advisory council
comprised of Ford Frlck, N a
tional league president, Will
Harridge, American league
proxy, and Leslie M. O'Connor,
.secretary to the late Commis
sioner K. M. Landls.
Without exception each of the
magnates interviewed agreed
this would be the best solution
until after the war, or at least
for a period of one year.
Clark Griffith, on the other
hand, stated that he favored the
choosing of a successor to Landis
immediately. The Washington
owner sprang a surprise when
he intimated that he would ask
for only 35 night games for
1945 instead of an unlimited
archlight schedule. This is seen
as a sort of compromise with
night ball opponents who appear
determined to limit each club to
14 night games this season.
The majors also were expect
ed to discuss the post war prob
lems involving high school base
ball and promotional work with
emphasis on the improvement of
umpire standards.
Although the new ruling in
creasing the induction of the 26
37 age group may lessen the
trading desires of some of the
club-owners, at least four deals
are more than in the rumor
stage, with the four-man swap
involving Pitcher Bill Deitrich
and Outfjelder Guy Curtright of
the Chicago White Sox and
Pitcher Jim Bagby and Out
fielders Oris Hockett of the
Cleveland Indians looming as
the most , important. The tribe
would also like Catcher Ike
Tresh.
The Chicago Cubs may trade
Outfielder Andy Pafko to t h e
Boston Braves for Pitcher Alva
Javery and have been offered
Third Baseman Hugh Luby by
the New York Giants for Out
fielder Lou Novikoff. Cincin
nati's Reds are. stocked with out
fielders with Frank Kelleher.
Tony Criscola and Gerald Walk
er as trading bait for a third
baseman.

Byrnes, Mike Chartak, Short

Jim Ferrier Wins Oakland
Open in Lasi Round Spurt
By RUSS NEWLAND
OAKLAND. Calif.. Dec. 11
P) The golfing soldier from
Camp Roberts, Calif., Sgt. Jim
Ferrier, hit a major tournament
jackpot on his second try and
pocketed $1600 in war bonds
and the title of 11)44 Oakland
Open champion today.
Outstripping a n imposing
field of links stars, showing the
biggest names in golf how it is
done, the big blond non-com
tacked up a four-round 277 over
the Sequoyah course yesterday
to grab the major prize.
One week ago in the San
Francisco Open he lost out to
Byron Nelson. Toledo, O., by a
single stroke. Nelson, top money
winner of the year, was the fa
vorite to win the Oakland
event. Harold McSpaden, Phila
delphia, and Sam Sncad, Hot
Springs. Va., rated next.
Sgt. Ferrier hurdled the lot
in a last round spurt that saw
him overtake the pace-setting
McSpaden on the first nine. He
knocked in a 33-35 68, two un
der par for tho course, to turn
tho trick. McSpaden and Snead
saw- him do it. They were in
the same threesome.
Overlooked in the rush
swarthy Ky Lafoon, Chicago,
slipped in with a final 33-35
68 for a second place 278. He
picked up S1000 in war bonds.

resulted in a 72 and third place
with 278 worth S733.34 in
bonds.
Sam Byrd, Detroit, finished
fourth with an even 280, good
for S600 in bonds, and George
Schnciter, Salt Lake City, took
fifth place prize of $466.67 in
bonds with a 282.
Nelson, the big favorite,,
three-putted himself out of con
tention. He needed three putts
on 11 greens during the four
rounds and tied at 283 with
Craig Wood. U. S. Open cham
pion from Mamaronck, N. Y..
Snead, winner of the Port
land Open two weeks ago,
flopped to a 74 on his last
round to tic Jimmy Hincs, Am.
sterdam, N. Y., and Leonard
Dodson, Kansas City, Mo., at
285.
Sgt. Ferrier, hottest golfer on
the winter tournament swing,
will be ranked as one of those
to beat when the nearby Rich
mond Open, a 72-hole $7500
war bonds event, gets under
way next Thursday. Most of the
touring pros will be there, two
exceptions being Sam Byrd and
Bob Hamilton, Evansvillc, Ind.
Rvrd left for home today while
Hamilton, PGA champion, quit
the Oakland tournament after
taking a first round 74. .
