PACI TIN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JAN. 21, 1948 Location For Baseball Park Virtually Set Architect Given Signal To Start Drawing Up Plans With the locale of Klamath Baseball Inc.'a proposed baseball park a virtual certainty now, Archi tect Sheldon Brumbaugh last night wm given the go-ahead sign by directors of the corporation to start drawing up plans for a grandstand. The park will be located on a piece of flat ground between S. 8th and Shasta way near the fair grounds. The corporation Is dicker ing to purchase six or seven acres. Tentative plans call for a grand stand measuring 240 feet in a semi circle, curving around what will be the third base and first base lines of the diamond. Showers, dressing rooms, concessions, ticket windows and the like will be Included, and the stands constructed In such way that more can be added on easily If conditions warrant. TWO THOUSAND A grandstand 240 feet long and 40 feet wide should seat some 2000 spectators In a measure of comfort, and at least a good part If not all the stand will be covered. Klamath Baseball Inc.'s determl nation to go ahead and build a park for this coming season, is based on sale of stock In the company. The sale has been going pretty well and Is expected to do better when the corporation has something concrete to show potential share-holders. At a director's meeting last night Bill Spangler, president of the cor poration, made a measure of peace with the Sons of Italy lodge, which holds the Klamath Fails franchise In the Sunday amateur Northern California league, by offering to allow the Sons to use the profes clonal team's park 'or approximate cost of operation each day. Johnny Pastega, representing the Sons, said he would take the offer to his organization. NO ANIMOSITY Klamath Baseball Inc., with a team In the Far west class D pro league, does not want to put the Northern California circuit out of business in Klamath Falls, and probably the latter group could use the park on Sundays when the pro team was on the road. Paul Farrens, attorney for Kla math Baseball Inc., announced last night that the working agreement with the Philadelphia Phillies and their Terre Haute club had been signed and he said that it was as good an agreement as a club like the local one could get.

The Rodeo Cowboys association announced plans today to name national champion cowboy, lis virtually certain that Its top hand won't be the same one as thai of the International Kodeo association which has had tile field to itself until now. The men w ho run the rodeos make up the IRA. At each rodeo soon. sorea oy it, the association gives cowboys one point lor each aollar of prize money Uiey win. The points are totaled al me end of the year, and the one with the most points reigns as the rodeo circuit's top nana lor a year. NO CREDIT SHOWS About 1800 cowboys who ride and rope for money make up the RCA. The president. Toots Mansileld of Big Springs, Tex., explained that many of Uiem appear in shows not affiliated with the IRA, and don't like the idea of getting no credit In the national standuigs for many perlonuances. The cowboys, who already name their champs for various events, will give their members one point for each dollar of prize and entry money won, and all shows approved by the RCA will be counted. Entry fees make up a big part of tlie rodeo hands' winnings. At the national western rodeo where 300 are competuig this year, the calf roping prize money is 13600, but entry fees boost that to nearly s n. 000. Bud Linderman of Red Lodge, Mont., was the IRA's 1947 champion. but presumably. Todd whatlcy ot Bethel, Okla., would have been the RCA's champion last year as he won the most money about $35,000. DI AL CHAMPIONS Whatley won both Brahma bull riding and steer w restling hut year, according to the RCAs figures, while the IRA's top Brahma rider was W ag Blesing of Glendale, Calif., and its best buildogger was Homer Petugrew of Chandler, Ariz. Linderman was the RCA's top saddle bronc rider last year, while Jerry Ambler led the IRA ratings. Larry Finley of Phoenix, Ariz., top ped the RCA's saddle bronc stand ings; Carl Mendes won the IRA competition. Troy Fort of Loving ton, N. M.f led the RCA's calf ropers, and Buck shot Sorrells of Tucson, Ariz., top ped those rated by the IRA.
