Describing baseball as "the most archaic industrial setup In exist ence," he contended that because of the clause players must go where they are sent or else go on the sport's "black list." "That's also true in nthi nrnf- sional sports," he said. Arguments that the present con tract with the reserve clause is "what the players want" and that it is "the backbone of baseball" were offered In rebuttal by such sports luminaries as: Johnny Murphy, veteran relief pitcher who is now a Red Sox scout; Dixie Walker, long-time, major league outfielder; Milt Schmidt, team captain of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey league; Gen eral Manager Joe Cronln of the Boston Red Sox; George 'Birdie) Tebbetts, Boston catcher, and sev eral others.

"There may be more of them." Scott said, "but these were the ones picked up last week-end." SEVERAL TIMK.8 "On several occasions In the past It has come to my attention that naming rules are being violated. I expect the rules to be rigidly ad hered to. If the boys do not train they cannot expect to win. I will really get tough from here on In. Anyone breaking training will be dismissed from the squad the rest ot the year." The Pels are currently leading the Southern Oregon (district 4) con ference by two full games and are unbeaten in conference play with a good chance to repeat as conference champs and go to the state basket ball tournament In Eugene In March.

J ScatAiUfk : if As a general rule, our Merrill middleweight leullicr-f linger, Jnck Snapp. does considerably better tho second time he fights a man than ho tint the first, so It may not have been a very cituey lilra of Hobby Volk's hniullers to mulch their boy with the Snapper In a return no. Ginger got a cltue spilt decision over Volk In Portland January 1 In 16 heats, and hus uurred to a 10-round re-match lor the sumo arena February 3. It was Volk'a thought to risk till bridge- . work for the second time and It's our hunch that Snapp will get to him betora the bout goes the dis tance. Four different fighters Snapp has met more than once Hill McKlnuou, Joe Woods, Kelly Jackson and Emery Jackson In the past year and a half, and each time he has come out In belter shape on tin return than on the original. He had to fight Emery Jack sou three times belora winning, but stuck at tlie task of drclslonlng the shrewd Ouklund colored boy until It was done. Snapp Is pliable. He leurns awfully fast. An opponent might have a style or defense the Ginger can't fathom or penetrate their first meeting, but Jack will have the answer the second time. Fur that reason, coupled with the fact that Hi been demonstrated Snapp can take Volk's Sun day punches and his wrek-day onea, too, young Uobuy may be In for a drubbing como February 3. In their previous bout Snupp became acquululcd with the cuiivua three different times twice for nlno-counts and got to his feet to Uike the decision. Heart Is a requisite for a fighter, and Jack seems to have It. Wait A Few Months Longer Roy Drake. Snapp 'a manager, Is turning a deal ear lo advice to lake the boy east. He wants to wait a few months longer. Drake's reasoning Is that out here Ginger Is a sought-after main evenlcr, but back east lit would have to start In as a prelim boy. He wants to plow this field a few more times In building a rep for Snapp, then go on to greener pastures as a main-event fighter. The theory Is sound enough If It doesn't toke loo long. Jack Is 23 years old now. He'll be at his best at 25. Monte May Be On Next Card Monte Montgomery, whose latest outing was a 15-round decision loss to Bobby Richards In Salem, probably will be on the supporting card of tho Simpp-Volk struggle. Ills opponent hasn't been announced. There was some talk of putting Phil Sampson back III, but Larry McLane, who manages Phil and Montgomery, said he snipped off that Idea yesterday so Phil can go back home to Reno for a while. No Pro Baseball For Herman Herman Wedemeyer. the head galloper of the St Mary's Galloping Gaels for the past four years, wont play professional baseball even though he is considered a hot college prospect and would have been signed to patrol an outer garden for the Oakland Oaks. Wedemeyer Is under contract to play pro football for the I-oa Amides Dons and the Dons' powers-that-be have decreed no baseball lor Herman. Charlie Trtppl can mix the two. but not Wedemeyer. FIRCRESTS FALL INTO LEAGUE'S SECOND SPOT By The Associated Press Superstitious basketball funs can nod their heads today. Belllng ham's Flrcrcsts stubbed their toe last night on No. 13 and fell Into second place In the Pacific Coast Professional Bosketbull league race. Vancouver's Hornets, arch-rivals of the border entry, never relaxed a first quarter lead and closed out with a 71-65 victory that snapped the Belilgham win streak at an even dozen. The losers' only solace came lr the fact that Oale Bishop bested Norm Baker In the Individual point making 23-18. Each was high for his team. At Tacoma. the Mountaineers overcame a two-point mid-game deficit to dump Astoria's Chlnooks 42-31. In a slow encounter. Again the losing team had the high scorer, Ike Magrutler hitting 13 for Astoria to Ernie Endress' 11 for Tacoma. Possible Indications of things to come were hinted at Vancouver, Wash., where the cellar-dwelling Portland Indians staged a 64-49 win over an Independent Vancouver quintet to test Its new acquisition. Jack Goldsmith. He showed up well with his 29 points almost half the victor's total. Goldsmith will get his first taste of league competition tonight when Scuttle and Portland, top and bot- WANTED!
