Brooklyn Reserves Watched PHILADELPHIA, May 6 It seemed likely today that those spring trade winds kicking up tiie rain-dampened diamond dust may be whipped into a gale In the next 1 d"Vs- . , j ... - A radio announcer Joined the fun by popping up last night with a re port that the St. Louis Cardinal had traded Marty Marlon and George Kurowskt to the Chicago Cubs. This brought hundreds of frantic telephone queries and frenzied dis cussion before Cubs' General Man ager Jimmy Gallagher and Card owner Sam Breadon turned off the Up by denying It. Rumors of the Cards' parceling off Mr. Shortstop Marion and long-hitting Whltey Kurotrski. a third baseman, are nothing new. The Phillies were reported to have offered $250,000 and players for the two last winter. The uproar caused by the rumor was pretty clear Indication of the state of baseball affairs as the major league neared the May IS deadline for slicing club rosters to 26 players. Most of the trade talk Involves Branch Rickey's Brooklyn Dodgers who last week dealt out five players to the Pittsburgh Pirates for some 200.000 cash and reserve Outfielder Al Gionfrlddo. But the Dodgers still have about 30 players in camp and they must get rid of five or so more by a week from next Thursday. Among the most likely to be traded are First Baseman Howie Schultx and Shortstop Ed Missis. The Boston Braves disappointed at the showing of Jls.000 Rookie Earl Torgcson of Snohomish are definitely In the market for SchnlU. Both the Cubs and Phillies would like to have Mlksis or Stan Roiek. both shortstops, sitting on the bench while Pee Wee Reese cavorts In the Brooklyn infield. But neither the Cubs nor Phils are satisfied with the terms Rickey, offered. One Dodger offer which presumably Included either Rojek or Mlksls asked that the Phils part with Del Ennls, the IM6 rookie of the year. Ski Club Dance Vetoed The idea of having a summer time dance was abandoned by the Crater Lake Ski club at a meeting held at the high school Monday night. Due to the drop of interest in ski ing that has come with the warm weather, thinning the meetings to less than 30 members, it was de cided to start the season this fall with a dance. It was agreed to go ahead with plans for a picnic, how ever, for those who are interested in keeping together as a group dur ing the summer, and hang it at Lake o' the Woods where those who wish to can try out water-skiing. A proposal to purchase a pair of . water-skis for the club was turned down. ; Further discussion was made for a ski ascent up Mt. Shasta, with the date set for the week-end of May 17 and 18. Those who were not at the meeting and wish to make the ascent may contact Dur wood Foster by calling 5274. Possibilities of joining the Pacific Northwest 6kl association for the advantage of joining ski meets, was looked into and further investiga tion on this line was decided. Foster, president of the club, pre sided at the meeting. . Golfing Feud Comes To End CHICAGO, May t UP) The Dick Metz-Fred Corcoran feud had of ficially ended today after a three hour hearing of their altercation by the executive committee of the Pro fessional Golfers Association of America had been climaxed by a hand shake. Ed Dudley, PGA president, said the two clasped hands following a closed session of professional golf's governing body yesterday. The hear ing was called at Mets' request after Corcoran asserted the golfer hit him four months ago without even yell ing "fore." Metz, one of the coun try's top-ranking golfers, said he did not strike down the PGA tourna ment bureau manager with a foul blow and asked for the hearing to have the facts straightened out. What went on at the heaving was kept a family secret by the PGA. In addition to announcing that the two "shook hands," Dudley said Corcoran will assume new duties as publicity director for all activities of the association. Interstate Herd The interstate deer herd is again the topic of discussion as forestry and game officials convene today in Alturas.

These three races, the Kentucky Derby. Preakness and Belmont, col lectively are known as the Triple Crown, and to have a Triple Crown champion is the aim of every owner, trainer and Jockey. The Preakness will be run at Ptmllco, Md.. next Saturday, and the Belmont at Belmont Park. N. V.. May 31. The odds against any thoroughbred winning all three are lengthened by the fact that all , are of different distances. The Derby Is a mile and a quarter.

What happened to the Ashland baseball club? Well, it's still a mystery but partially explained. There is a ball club, all right. iu. . ...I i .l..h tn niiv tha Klamath Sons a ball game at Recreation field Sunday afternoon, disappointment of the local cluo and several nunanm spcviior. ..u came out and basked for an hour or so in the sun before the game was called. a Arrangements Made Weeks Ago Arrangements for this game were made several weeks ago, between Mel Carpenter of. the Sons and a man named Ken Robblns. supposedly one of the bosses of the Ashland ball team. The arrangements were defi nite, even to agreement on splitting the take at the gate. But Ashland didn't show op. so Carpenter got hot on the long , distance wire (strike or no strike) and called up Mr. Robblns to see what went haywire. Robblns was surprised to learn that the game hadn't come off. explaining that he had been ont of town and had turned the baseball affair over to a man named HalL Hall, It appears, has been steadily unavailable. Anyhow. Robblns promised to look into the matter and see where the hitch was, and report back. Nobody Happy Over Development Because the game had to be called off, the Sons had to give back the dough taken in for tickets not a very pleasant chore, in that the boys are trying to dig up cash to spend on fixing up the ball park a bit. Each spectator, to get his money back, had to produce his ticket stub, and you can imagine bow many went home without. It wasn't a very jolly experi ence, any way you look at it. To avoid repetition of that trouble, a rain check ought to be handed out at the box office along with each ticket, and to avoid another Ashland type fiasco, visiting 'learns should be required to wire or phone confirma tion of the- dale a day or two before each game.

This Is the lime of year when hope springs eternal with the Inns, liven though their favorite teams may be In the second division there Isn't too much of a gap between last place and the select first division. Thus the customers are ready and eager to beat a fast pace to the ball parks. Rains which washed out the en tire tilanu' series with lite Pitts burgh Plratea and Chicago I'ubs at the Polo (..rounds Is estimated to have cost the club around $150,000. It Is figured that al least 130.000 fans, excited by the tiiants' sweep of a Ihree-game set with the world champion St. Louis Cardinals would have witnessed the games. The White 8ox. suddenly (Hiding themselves enjoying the luxury of a first place outfit, wore hit hard by the postponement of four games at Comtskey Park. The loss ol a Sun day date esiieclally hit them right between their eyes. In all there have been 48 post ponements 27 washouts In the National league and 21 In the American. It has been yrars and years since the majors nave seen such atrocious weather. The entire card was drowned out yesterday including the scheduled night game between the Cards and Braves at Boston. About the only teams that wel comed the postponements were the Cardinals and Yankees. The wob bly Kcdbirds, still reeling over their nine straight defeats which finally ended Sunday, probably could use those off days to get themselves straightened out. The Yankee don't mind the rest period because they allow their star slugger, Joe DIMagglo. more time 111 which to rest his ailing heel. Weather permitting. 14 clubs will attempt to play today. Cleveland and Washington are not scheduled. Philly Tries Tax Gouge CAMDEN. N. J.. May ( Wv Mayor Oeorge E. Brumier doesn't think it lair ol pnuaoeipnia to col lect a city wage tax from visiting i major league ball players. So the Camden chief executive has Invited the American league Philadelphia Athletics and the National league Philadelphia Phillies to play on the other side of the river tax free. W. Frank Marshall. Philadelphia's city treasurer, announced Saturday that visiting players of all major league teams would be subject to the city's one per cent wage tax. Brunner, denouncing the "unfair ness and Inequity of such a tax grab." asked the big leagues to build a stadium in Camden In time for the opening of the 1948 season. Officials of the Phillies and Ath letics informed the municipal ex ecutives however that both clubs have franchises which compel them to play their home games In Phila delphia.
