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.
Detroit is beginning to catch fire as the Tigers flash the form

protracted home stand.
As Boston rocketed through
the east to win 22 of its 26
starts, the experts delayed final
opinion on the team, pending its
first western tour. The Sox open
in Chicago today and won't be
back in Fenway park until May

The team is' beginning to click
and the pitching staff is round

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

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.

Seraphs. 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.

Pelicans Forfeit All
Baseball Garnet Played
Against Loop Schools
The Klumiith Fulls Pcllcun
baseball season, which up to data
hasn't been too bad despite a
couple of losses to Grunts Pass,
now officially rends no victories
at all.
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. That action is
exactly what the coaches and of
ficials would expect of any other
school' should the circumstances
be reversed.
A last-minute change in the
baseball schedule also had to be
made for the Pelicans. Instead
of the .game with Medford, which
was originally announced for
this afternoon, the K-men are
playing Tulelake at Del Moro
field.
Tornado Tomorrow
Tomorrow afternoon the Tor
nado will be on Del Moro field,
the game beginning at 3 p. in.,
and that will wind up this year's
diamond season for the Pels.
Ryan's squad will be consid
erably hampered In the finale
against Medford because Catcher
Tommy Edwards, Cleanup Hitter
Irvin Whitt and Outfielder Bill
Sari will not be in the lineup.
All three have qualified for par
ticipation in the state prep track
meet this weekend and are lay
ing off until that time.
