Baseball's Bonus Law
Needs Chandler's OEC
Crater Lake Trail Races
Cecil Drew at the Gun store is extremely anxious to test
public opinion on the subject of inaugurating annual trail ski
races up at Crater lake to provide some competition lor the
skiers of this area, ne would nice to get ine
races started this winter, and the Gun store
probably would put up the prizes and Cecil
would do the organizing work.
Anyone interested in races of the sort should
drop into the Gun store and talk it over with
Cecil, and maybe we can get some interesting
snow competition under way pretty quick.
The Unmentionables
A letter from Mrs. Rose Bonfiglio. 1208
Mitchell, reached this desk a day or so ago
asking for information concerning a subject
that newspapers are prohibited by federal law
from discussing.
The subject is an annual Irish horse-racing
event, attendant to which some persons come into possession of
a lot of money and have their pictures taken by newsreel camera
men. Most of the money is taken by the government in taxes.
Mrs. Bonfiglio, under penalty of a year in the hoosegow, a
fine of $10,000 (or both), I can't say any more, but if you do
locate a ticket, check closely to see that it isn't counterfeit. They
can be had here in town.
Aiken's Choice A Surprise
The selection of Jim Aiken for Webfoot football coach cer
tainly was a curveball thrown past a lot of us who had done
some speculation and tub-thumping for favorite candidates. Aiken
hadn't even been mentioned previously.
Down at Reno Aiken ran a wide-open game, had the best
passing squad In the country this past year, and put Nevada
away out in front of the other schools in the mountains. Maybe
he'll bring some of his flashy play ideas to the university, but
the rain and mud he'll have to deal with at Eugene. Corvallis
and Portland can be figured on to put a crimp in a lot of that.
Oh, Lawd! Please No Sales Tax
There Is a movement on foot in the legislature now to legalize
gambling in Oregon. Legalization of gambling should bring in
enough money so as to make a sales tax which is really one
pain in the neck unnecessary. Any legislators reading this col
umn will please note which side Scarbrough is on.
Sales taxes bring in a lot of money, but it's a painful process,
both for buyers and sellers, and it costs a lot to collect. The OPA
drove businessmen screwy with investigators, but just wait until
government greyhounds start prowling around to see if you're
collecting that mill on each nickel.
We have entirely too many taxes now better look for some
income that doesn't bear the tax label.
KUHS Jayvees Slide Past
Mt. Shasta Quint, 39-38
Coming within inches of go

Baseball's new bonus regulations
today needed only the approval
of the minor leagues and Com
missioner A. B. Chandlers offi
cial pronouncement before going
into the book.
The commissioner's advisory
council, after making what it
termed only slight changes, yes
terday approved the legislation,
which received the affirmative
votes of the American and Na
tional leagues last month.
Chandler said that after the
National association of profes
sional leagues (the minors) gave
its approval, the new rules
would become effective 30 days
after he formally notifies the
clubs of enactment.
The new regulations provide:
Any free agent who signs a
player contract with a major or
minor league club for a bonus or
promise of a bonus shall be clas
sified as a "bonus player"
throughout his career.
Any such free agent shall be
deemed to have signed his con
tract tor a bonus if the aggre
gate amount or value exceeds
$6000 for a major league club,
$4000 for a class AAA club,
$3000 class AA. $2500 class
1-A. $2000 clan A. $1500 class
B.$1200 class C. $800 class D
and $500 class E.
No bonus player's contract
shall be assigned outright to a
club of lower classification un
less waivers first have been ob
tained in the assignor club's
league or leagues, and no such
waiver requests shall be with
drawn. Penalties for violation:
The player shall be made a
free agent; the violating club and
all clubs affiliated with it may
not contract with the player for
three years; the violating club
shall be fined $2000 if a major
league organization, or $1000 if
of minor league classification.
and the club officer who parti
cipates in the illegal transaction
shall be fined $500.
