Slave' Clause Under Attack From Diamond NEW YORK, July 20 It looks as though the biggest job the baseball owners and league presidents will have on their hands when they meet with the six players representatives here on August S will be to convince their opposite numbers that the so-called "reserve clause-' is great thing ior everybody and should be retained. . It seems certain that the six player-spokesmen three from each league will enter this, the first such meeting in diamond history, bear ing a mandate from their fellow performers to take, a whack at the clause which is the backbone of organized ball. The players never have liked the clause, for the reason that it binds them for their playing life to the club which first gets their name on a contract. Unless the player is sold or traded, he can never hope to better his situation, become a member of a team which pays higher salaries. This causes admitted inequalities, and it rankles the star who is drawing down perhaps Notice To Klamath Baseball Fans It has come to our attention that perhaps individuals and business firms in Klamath Falls have been solicited for ball players performing certain feats in the various games this year, such as home runs, stolen bases and the like. We wish to make it clear that the Klamath Sons baseball team has not sanctioned any such solicitations, but do appre ciate voluntary contributions on the part of anyone interested in so doing, in such an event, please notify John Pastega, M. G. Carpenter, the public address announcer at the ball park or a member of the KFLW staff at the park. Do not give cash or check or other prizes to anyone. Merely signify your award by an order placed in an envelope or given verbally to the above parties. If your award is won, the player winning will be given a note to you saying that he is entitled to it. If you care to contact the player personally after the game, you may do so. We. would be pleased to hear from individuals or-firms in Klamath Falls who have made contributions to date who might be under the impression that their contributions have not reached the player entitled to the award. It is our sincere desire to sponsor a team, representative of Klamath Falls, on a sportsmanlike basis and conducted in a businesslike manner. We extend our sincere appreciation for the wonderful sup port you have given us and trust you will continue to do so. , Klamath Sons Baseball Committee, M. G. Carpenter, Manager, John Pastega, Business Manager. Twin Bill Scheduled For Local Diamond Tomorrow Two baseball eames are on the slate for Klamath Falls home grounds tomorrow after noon, and a third is being played down at McCloud. The newly-formed Lowell Packers will play their first game of the season against a team from Bieber, Calif., on Recreation field starting at 1 o'clock, and following that tilt will play a second game with Sawyers Go Into Second Palmerton Lumbermen upset the Veterans of Foreign Wars and at the same time boosted themselves into an undisputed Softball second place when they walloped the Vets 15-11 last night on Recreation field. The game was finished in semi-darkness, about 8 p. m., due to dis putes between the teams. Leading the game almost all the way, Palmerton smashed out seven runs in the last of the sixth Inning to clinch the game. The game was tied up at the end of the third frame 6-6, until the Lumbermen pulled out in front again with two runs. Frank Hall pounded out a home run during the sixth for Palmerton, and Don Schortgen dropped a long, hand fly good for all bases into center field during the first of the seventh for the Vets. Batteries for the Vets were Olsen and Sweet, and Hall and Ashby switched posi tions during the fifth as batteries for the Lumbermen. Elks squeezed through with a narrow 6 to 5 win over the Ash ley Chevrolcts in the other soft ball game played at Applefiate field last night. The Elks man aged to put the varnish on Ash ley in the final stanza by edging one run on their opponents after a 6-6 tie-up. Rex Young swatted the only homer for the game, for Ashley. Batteries for the game were Bel lotti and Dcrrah for Ashley; Myers and Murray for the Elks.

MOOSE DANCE For Members and Guests EVERY " SATURDAY NIGHT MOOSE HALL 1010 Pine St. I the Junior Legion all-star team which is representing Klamath Falls m state Legion play. The Packers have been prac-1 ticing about two weeks and havi n tpam cnmDosed of most-! lv all ptf-qprvieemen. This eame with Bieber will be a sort of shakedown cruise, although the Californians have been organ ized all season. Included in the Packer line up are Frank Hall, Joe Derrah, Byron Cody, Buck Ferguson. Jimmy Allio, Jim Derrah, Al Bellotti and other local ball players. Clyde Walsh, managing the team, said that Jimmie West, marine who has been!Union creek or Natural bridge playing with the Klamath Sons, may pitch against Bieber tomor row. The second game of the Sun day double bill will be between members of the Packer squad and the Junior Legion stars. Also tomorrow a Northern California league game is being played by the Klamath Sons against the McCloud Loggers down at McCloud, and the tilt will be on the air over KFLW at 2 o'clock. Klamath has knocked over the Loggers twice in its march to the top of the league this season and are heavy favorites to cop this one. Scores of the other games were 8-0 and 7-4. The Sons are without bus transportation, probably for the rest of the season, so have made arrangements to go to McCloud tomorrow in private cars. Fluhrer Putting Up Scoreboard A new scoreboard, to be built by Fluhrer's bakery, has been started at Recreation field, according to Fred Hoagland. manager of Fluhrer's. The first load of lumber arrived at the field yesterday. When completed, the new scoreboard will be 40 feet long and 18 feet high. It will be made of masonite board, paint ed green with black team and score-by-inning boxes, and will have yellow lettering. The new scoreboard will be built in the northwest corner of the field behind the present site of the flagpole facing the grand stand. The flagpole will be re moved and placed near the end of the board. Work is being done by Cecil Green, contractor. The old scoreboard behind the grand stand has been taken down. Part of the materials of the old board will be used for the new one, and the remainder of the board will be done away with. SAN DlEflO Poltf TAAim Vnri i "'"c,c "iwuph out Aivaro Estada, I ioo, mexico Lily, u, , LONCi BEACH, N. Y.-JImmy Callura, 123, Hamilton, Ont.. outpointed Bob Rlchardi, 123',a, Spokane, 8. $10,000 a year from one of the less prosperous clubs to realize that players no better than he are making twice that with, say, the Yankees or the Detroit Tigers. The player either can accept the contract offered him by his owners, or he can hold out and make fight of it each spring, or he can retire from baseball, Dickie Kerr, the great little White Sox pitcher, quit baseball for life when he was at the height of his career Mid Eddie Roush once remained out of the Giants line-up for a year. That is the player's side of it. Some feel that they are "slaves," and they have always felt that the reserve clause was a wicked, unlaw ful instrument that would not stand up if it were challenged in court. Yet there has never been a serious, sustained effort by the players to fight it out in the courts, and President Larry MacPhail of the Yankees declared yes terday that he had never had a player tell him the clause should be abolished. rs co from HUMID By HALE SCARBROUGH I Fishing Roundup ' From all reports, angling this 1 week and this weekend have not been and is not expected to be so good, except for the report of ! the game commission which comes in over the teletype and : says that all lakes and streams in Klamath county are good. Still, according to the game commission's findings, Jackson county the j Rogue, both I forks of the i Applcgate, Hy- atl lake and i Fish lake are ! the best pros ; pects in the state now, with limit catches of trout and some steelhcad be ing taken in the Rogue. Local observ ers see the Up per lake at the mouth of Wood river for troll ing as the most nearly sure thing around here. That's trolling and bait fishing. The mouth of Seven Mile is another spot in that area that is good. Both Wood and Seven Mile should be trolled on up for a quarter or half a mile. Down the Williamson to the lake, trolling two-tone wobblers should be good this time of the year. The Chewaucan and Deep creek are good spots to try flies, any of the grey patterns recom mended by those who have been over, and as a last resort a small spinner and a fly or a small spinner with a gob of worms should do the trick. The upper sections of the Rogue should be about ripe for flies, and in the area around there are a dozen good creeks and streams to be worked. We understand that Crater lake will soon be open for fish ing, but that story in the paper the other day about the kid who nearly slid off into the lake makes you take it with a grain of salt. . We're going on vacation now, vacation, that is Saturday aft ernoon and Sunday to grow a beard, fight mosquitoes, cat this and that cooked over an open fire and, a faint possibility, catch some fish in Diamond lake. Just received a note from an old friend with whom we flunk ed several college courses back in the pre-war days, saying that our alma mater, the University of Alabama, has a trifling squad of only 85 football players work ing out this summer, and that doesn't include the first string who is turned out to grass in the summer. Thto fripnH ia tha innri. n.,k licity at the university, and quite ! proDaDiy ne lorgot to mention the second and third strings which are developing muscles in Birmingham steel mills. When they get all the players together at once down there, they work out in battalions.

Waiver Fee Gives Sox More Wins By The Associated Press Bill (Sinker Bull) Zuber, a luckless pitcher who couldn't get anybody out for the Yunkces, Is proving to be a $7300 bargain find for the pcmiunt-buund Bos ton Red Sox. Picked up for the nominal waiver fee when New York cut him loose, the 31-yenr-oldster has earned three utrulglit decisions for his benefactors and hasn't been beaten yet. Ho added a four-hit, D-2 decision over Chi cago yesterday to his Impressive rccurd. Even in victory, Zuber had to play second fiddle tu Ted Wil liams yesterday when Umpire Red Jones evicted 14 While tiox players and coaches after he had warned Pitcher Joe Hayncs about "dusting" Williams. Margin Boosted With the Yankees and St. Louis. Browns unscheduled, the lied Sox upped their lead over second place New York to lit games. Hal Ncwhouser of Detroit chalked up his 18th victory in an unimpressive performance against Washington, 10-5, allow inn 12 hits. With 71 games to play and at least 15 more piten ing starts, the swift lefthander remained a good bet to reach the charmed U0-win circle. Hank Greenberg's tremendous triple with the bases loaded and Birdie Tcbbets' two-run double helped the Tigers overcome a 5-0 Washington lead and go on to win. Barrel-chested Pat Secrey of Cleveland hammered two home runs, his 15th and 16th, in the Indians' 6-1 romp over the Ath letics.

While Stranahan, the 28-ycar-old millionaire's son who won the Kansas City Invitational last weekend, and 36-year-old Harri son, whose last major conquest was the 1945 St. Paul Open, were taking tricky Medinah apart, Nelson and Hogan floun dered with 73 and 75, respec tively.
