1948, United Statu Brtwtri Foundation

before a legislative mmmittM m
Robert Murphy, father of the more
or less extinct American Baseball
guild, at whose request the bill was
put in the hopper.
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.

the rights to a player.'s service after

Tebbetts refuted Murphy's charges
that Clubs "ffnf rM tif Inlimrf

naseoau 19 years, and sidelined for
most of four of them with injuries.
He said he not only received his

The county "B" school basketball
standings shouldn't be ruffled in the
least by games of tonight all the
first division teams are working
against second division squads this
week.
The league-leading Gilchrist
Grizzlies travel all the way to Bo
nanza for a game that probably will
go to solidify Gilchrist's first-place
grip. The Antlers are potentially un
fortunate all through this season.
Sacred Heart's Trojans have prob
ably the easiest touch, meeting Bly
at Bly. Although it may not mean
anything, an Indicator is the fact
that Gilchrist topped Bly 89-8 In a
league encounter, while Sacred
Heart waxed Gilchrist 38-31 in a
non-conference game here lost Sat
urday. The spud battle of Merrill and
Henley, played at the Hornet gym, is
expected to be the tussle of the eve
ning, the two teams about evenly
matched.
Malin's Mustangs, disappointing so
far, go to ChUoquin for a game
with tht rough and ready Panthers.
CHILOQUIN, Jan. 23 Both
ChUoquin Basin league basketball
teams came out on top here last
night, the Olenger's quint topping
Langell Valley Beavers 35-15 In the
final game, after Klamath Sons had
defeated Merrill VFW 52-41.

the suspension is effective for only
this one contest
Wayne Scott, coach, said that the
three Pels were found breaking the
"early to bed" training rule.
"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.
But Scott said he would disrupt
his lineup rather than bother any
more with refractory players.

being left off the traveling squad
because of a pulled muscle in his

This week-end Is a vacant snot

' , amen i no j-"iwin

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.
