OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUG. 13, 1947 Sums' Muff Chancefe cPu" iioi niru jDOT Cards Stopped By Cubs But Brooks LoseiTjp JU Hale By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer It begins to appear more and more every day that the National league pennant race will fc settled In the seven game which the Brooklyn Dodgers and Su Louis Cards still have to play with each other. Each club frittered away an opportunity to gain on Uie other as both the Dodgers and Ordinals were beaten yesterday. The Redblrds were the first to bow, losing an afternoon game to the Chicago Cubs In St. Louis, 3-1. The Brooks, with a chance to boost their three-game first-place margin, fell before the Boston Braves In a night game at Ebbets field 9-2. The schedule Is very much in favor of the Cards. Although the Dodgers have two games less to play than St. Louis, 44 In all, half of them are against first division outfits seveu with SU Louis, nine with New York, and six with Boston. Of the Cards' 46 remaining games, 17 are with the rest of the first division seven with Brooklyn, five with New York and five with Boston. They have 19 home games left while the Dodgers have 31.

IMMItL'rain Move To LA Costly NEW YORK, Aug. 1J (SEA) Charlie Graham laughs right out loud at the Johnny-come-lately would be promoters who would transplant a SU Louis baseball team lo Loa Angeles. "Yeah." booms the veteran co owner of the San Francisco Seals, "you'd think they were making a move In checkers, but it's not as simple as all thaU" Graham also puts in another plug for recognition of the Pacific Coast as a third major circuit "Coast cities have grown re markably in population the past 18 years," the old catcher explains. "We are major learae in every other sport football, racing, golf and tennis. Only the draft keeps us minor league in baseball. "Exempt as five years from that and I'm sure we'll snow yon a genuine major league. The draft, is detrimental to Pacific Coast baseball or thai of any other cir cuit "How can a league get anywhere when It is skimmed of its star players each year? "That leaves as with no stars in the spring. We have to start all over again and develop new ones. While Los Angeles could prob ably ring in its huge Memorial stadium, major league owners and officials stress the fact that PCL parks generally do not accommo date enough people to merit a higher classification. Larger plants could be built As for simply switching a club to Los Angeles. Graham is afraid the cost would be prohibitive, even though the transfer were possible. He places the cost at a minimum of S10.000. Compare that - with the sale price tag of the great Yankee franchise and chain, immensely valuable property and all 2.850. 004. An outsider would first have to buy the LA franchise in the Paci fic Coast league from Owner Philip K. Wrigley, who also owns the Cubs, and no one has even hinted that it is for sale. Then he would have to Indemnify the other seven clubs. The Hollywood franchise, for in stance, would be a total loss. Who would pay to see Triple-A ball if a major league outfit worked the other aide of the street? Before a major -league club could be transplanted its owner would have to get the consent of 15 other big-league owners. A league is a partnership. When a man invests in a club he expects to, do business in the other cities in the circuit A major league club transferred to Los Angeles would take the heart out of the Coast loop. Gra ham figures it would set PCL baseball back 25 years. ' Business Is fine the way things stand now, so it might be best all the way around to call the whole thing off. Rose City Gets Ryder Cup Bid NEW YORK, Aug. 13 UP, The Professional Golfers associations of the United States and Great Brit ain have agreed on the dates of November. 1-2 for the postwar re sumption of the Ryder cup matches and the American pros have chosen the Portland, Ore., golf club as the site.
