r Year Will See Baseball Gate Figures Zoom Br The Associated Press Big league attendance will zoom over the S.OOO.OUO mark on the way to an all-time high today as the sizzling Boston Red Sox open their first western tour and the puzzling St. Louis Cardinals come east to wrestle with the first-place Brooklyn Dodgers. '- When 10,951,502 paid to see the 1945 games, many believed the mark would stand as a record for years to come. Now, a month after the start of the 24-weck season, the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Athletics and Cincinnati Reds have drawn about half as much as they did all last year. The Yanks, with 578,940 as a starter, are regarded as a cinch to smash the major league standard the Chicago Cubs hung up in 1929 when they played before 1,485,766 at Wrigley field.

Although Hal Newhouserwas knocked from the box for the first time this season, the Tigers picked up six easy runs in a wild second inning to gain a 6-5 edge over Chicago. While the Yanks were flying to St. Louis on the first of a series of plane hops, the Browns were splitting a doubleheader at Cleveland. Red Embree turned back St. Louis with five blows in the opener, knocking in three runs of the Tribe's 9-2 margin. Al Milnar, making his first start, shut out Cleveland 3-0.

Boston spurted with four in the ninth to shade the New York Giants 7-6, giving Reliefer Earl Reid his first big league victory at Mike Budnik's ex pense. Nine County Boys In State Meet The seven members of the Pelican track squad who will make the trip to Corvallis this weekend for the state prep school track and field finals are Bill Sari, Chuck Thurman, Bob Redkey, Tommy Edwards, Ben DeVore, Irvin Whitt and Jim Pope. Also making the trip from Klamath county will be Fred Hess of Henley and Dick Smith of Bonanza. These boys qualified for the state meet by copping either first or second place in various events at the district tour ney in Medford last Saturday. Bill Sari hoisted the shot 46 feet 51 inches, tying for first place with Lindsey of Medford. Jim Pope negotiated the high hurdles in 16.1 seconds for first. Ben DeVore was way out in front by hurling the discus 126 feet 3 inches. Irvin Whitt came in second in tossing the javelin, behind the mark of 180 feet 7 inches set by Stelle of Medford. Tom Edwards was just behind Ashland's Jim Jandreau's broad jump distance of 22 feet 8 inches for second. Bob Redkey ran second to Medford's Singler in the low hurdles. Singler's time was 23.6 seconds. Chuck Thurman cleared 11 feet 1 inch to win the vault. Fred Hess extended himself in sailing over the 5 feet 11 high jump bar, but only gained a tie as Eatherton of Medford duplicated the feat. Smith of Bonanza paced behind George Fullerton, Ashland's top-flight distance runner, to take second in the mile. Fullerton's mile time was a neat 4 minutes 28 seconds, and he also established a new time of 2 minutes 11 seconds for the 880-yard gallop. Along with George Rasmussen, Bend's sensational pole vaulter, Fullerton is counted on to ring up at least one new slate mark at Corvallis. Rasmussen has not pushed his vault mark skyward to 13 feet 1 inch. CNADisKIY CANADIAN "V . .

Seals Go Into Dynamite-Laden Series By The Associated Press The Seraphs of Los Angeles, persistent challengers of the never-headed Seals of San Fran cisco, attempt to sock the pre carious edge out from under the pace-making mound staff in this week's series of Pacific Coast league baseball. Heavy-hitting Lloyd Christo pher and his Angel mates frightened and nudged the Seals from a half a game back and wound up last week a game and a half behind. These two rivals popped to the head of the league at the season's start, and Los Angeles in second or third place has been tugging all the way at the Seals' lease on the pinnacle. Now or Never Manager Frank (Lefty) O'Doul said, "If those Los Angeles guys don't catch us this week, they may never catch us." O'Doul picked Larry Jansen, seven-game winner, and Frank Seward for mound duty against Manager Bill Sweeney's choices of Red Lynn, winner of an equal number, and Dick Conger in the doubleheader opening of the seven-game engagement tomor row at Los Angeles. Standing to gain most in the pennant chase from a knock down tussle between the Seals and Angels are the third-ranking Acorns of Oakland, who take on fourth-place Hollywood tonight at the Oaks' park.

One member of the Pelican squad, Pitchur Joe Carroll, has boon ruled Ineligible because n( having ulrt-udy attended high school fur nine semesters and eight is the limit for intorsclujiiis tic sports competition. The eight-semester or four year rule is laid down by the Oregon High School Activities association. Games Forfeited The games In which Carroll has played uguinst Ashlitnd, Med ford and Grunts Puss huve been forfeited by Klnmnth Fulls. Those include two wins over the Grizzlies and one over Medford, but does not have any effect on the selection of a team to repre sent this district in the statu base ball meet nt Portland. Undefeated Grunts Pass ap parently is headed for the con ference title and participation in the state diamond tourney. Carroll's ineligibility was in no way his fault or the fault of Coach Ed Ryan. KUHS Principal S. D. Woodruff points out. lie transferred from a Junior high in California, where the ninth grade is taught, to a three-year California high school. Transfer Students Then he transferred to Salem, a throe-year high school, and from there down to Klamath Union high school, somewhere on the way getting in an extra semester In high school because of different eligibility require ments. Rynn, when the defect was discovered in a check-up of Car roll's scholastic record, imme diately offered to forfeit all the games played with schools in the conference.

Instead of the .game with Medford, which was originally announced for this afternoon, the K-men are playing Tulelake at Del Moro field.
