SATURDAY, JAN. 24, 1948 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON pACI TEN Sons To Keep Franchise In NoCal League Work Will Go On For Baseball Park Near Rollerdrome The Bonn of Italy lodge will keep Its Northern California league Inde pendent baseball franchise for play next summor and backers will go ahead with plans to construct a baseball park at South Sixth and Bhasta way, Johnny Pastega, repre sentative of the lodge, said today. The fraternal order backed the Klamath Sons in the Northern Cali fornia league, playing Sunday ball, the past two years with a measure of success both on the field and at the box office. The Klamath team was the best draw in the circuit, Pastega said the lodge had decided there was plenty of room in Klam ath Falls for its recreational base ball program and Klamath Baseball Inc's professional (Par West league) endeavor and that the two would not necessarily be competing. STRONGER LOOP Keeping a Klamath team in the KoCal circuit definitely strengthens that league, which also includes Yreka, Weed, Dunsmuir, Hilt, Mt. Shasta, McCloud and Redding. The latter town, Redding, is also in the Par West pro baseball circuit and may be forced to drop out of the Northern California set-up. If so, Ashland has first call of Redding's franchise. Pastega said that Miles Richmond, league prexy, had been notified that Klamath would stay in. There Is another extenuating cir cumstance to the lodge's decision, Pastega said, that being that the Sons also have a franchise in the Southern Oregon loop along with Central Point, Medf ord. etc and may pick up that option to put a second Sunday ball team in the field. Last year the Southern Oregon league franchise was farmed out to Roseburg. PRIVATE FINANCE Pastega said the field at South Sixth and 6hasta way, near the Rollerdrome, was being privately financed, in contrast to the public financing of the Klamath Baseball Inc. layout which is also to be lo cated between S. 6th and Shasta way but a couple of miles out near the fairgrounds. Ee said the second field would have to be built some ground work has already been done because one diamond was not enough for play and practice for two or three teams. Probably schedules could be worked out if necessary to use one field tor games without conflict, but there would not be enough room for prac tice sessions. Klamath Baseball Inc. had offer ed to let the Sons use its-field for a rental when the use did not conflict with the pro team's schedule. Bill Mulligan Carried Plan Nixing Draft PORTLAND. Jan. 24 Mi Wil liam Mulligan, general manager of the Portland Beavers, was en route today to a Pacific Coast league base ball meeting in Los Angeles with a resolution which the Portland Ore gonian has said, if adopted, might cause the circuit to be "outlawed from organized ball. The resolution proposes to exempt Coast league players from a major league draft for six years Instead of four and then only at an "arbitrated price" and if this plan Is rejected by the majors the Coast loop would declare Ineligible any player who thereafter accepts a major league draft notice. Mulligan said, before his de parture last night he would present the resolution at the Los Angeles meeting, which begins Sunday, but did not necessarily expect the league to adopt It The coast clubs have been fighting major league orait provisions lor some time.

The British and the Swedes and a lot of other people on the otner side, as well as fistic followers In the United States, cannot understand how a young heavyweight at the peak of his form could pass up a world heavyweight championship match, especially one with a title holder as ripe for plucking as Joe Louis. Worse than that, they can't com prehend how Baksl, who will not be 26 until next month, gave another, Briefs Beau Jack Lays Out Honeyboy CHICAGO, Jan. 34 W Johnny Honeyboy" Bratton had his Jaw taped up today with a pos-slbie frac ture after losing on a technical knockout to Beau Jack, former world's lightweight champion, last night.

Lynam Given Joust Over Al Williams Virtue triumphed over evil in last night's exhibition of wrestling at the armory In the cleanie meanie main event when Joe Lynam was awarded the decision over Al Williams after too much dirty work on Al's part. In the first battle at the armory since December 19, local fight fans were treated to a bounding display of slugging on the Chicago boy's part, and a shot of the ref, Ruben Gracia, being tossed around a couple of times. Big, blond Williams took the first round, coming out of his corner long enough to pin the GI wonder boy with a stamping arm lock. Lynam came back in the third and took the tie-up fall In a matter of minutes with a grapevine, first pounding Williams into a daze with rabbit punches. Referee Gracia awarded the battle honors to Lynam In the fourth frame after Williams had tossed Lynam out of the ring, kicked him twice while he was trying to get back in, and had tossed the referee out of the way. Tex Hagtr, the Willamette valley boy, took a beating from old-timer Buck Weaver in the semi-wlndup, going down for two falls, In the third and fourth rounds, when Weaver worked him into his favorite hold, a chiropractor. Hager took the first fall in the second round with record speed when he walked out of his corner at the bell, drop kicked Weaver as he started out, and pinned him for the fall in a matter of 10 seconds.

Sol Strauss, promoting for Mike Jacobs, practically got down on his hands and knees and begged him to accept the chance sought by every heavyweight worth subway carfare. Strauss even sent Lew Burston to biigland to sign Baksl. But Instead of returning to these shores, placing a hearilock on the golden opportunity, mid attempting to toss It for a fall, Baksl hied him self to Stockholm to be knock 1 off by the almost totally unknown Tandberg. Even that surprising reverse did not knock him out of the Louis match, certainly not out of a fight Pelicans Edged By Duck Frosh, 47-44 A dogged Klamath Pelican hoop squad came within an ace of de feating the, vaunted U. of O. Frosh last night on Pelican court, forging a strong second-half attack and taking a brief three-point margin in the final period, only to finish at the short end of a 47-44 final count. The Pels trailed until late In the third quarter, when they came from behind a 26-33 halftime score to knot things up at 34-all. Their short-lived three-point lead was gained from there, when Jack Lust plunked in a field goal from' the key and Eddie Whitney dropped In a free throw, pushing the Pels In front, 37-34.

Main m Does Complete Fadeaway with Walcott, who was ready to answer the call. Strauss was willing to throw that one out, as they say. To the astonishment of everybody, however, Baksl said he didn't waul any part of Louis. Ho let himself get in far out of condition that he couldn't be ready for Tandberg as lnte as January 30. Now Bnksl has started training In the Ice and snow of Greenwood Lake, N. J., in hope of meeting the winner of a match between new coiners Jackie Cranford of Wash ington and the Italian, Ohio Buon vino, scheduled for Madison Square Garden January 30. But at 246 pounds, Baksl hasn't the slightest Idea when he'll be tit. running and from there a flurry of alternate scoring ensued, ending In a 41-38 third quarter margin for the DucKllngs. The touch-and-go fourth period saw the Pels steam to within one point of matching the Oregon edge.

With more than a dozen top stars nestled uncomfortably In the first four positions, the laurels In the three-day, 72-hole classic at the Phoenix Country club are expected to go to the player who stands up best under the terrlflo pressure re sulting from such close competi tion. Bobby Locke of Johannesburg, South Africa, playing his first tour nament here, found the course to , his liking yesterday he says Its the closest he's encountered to those h finds in his homeland and came ! In early with a slx-under-par 34 3165. Par for the course Is 36-35 71 But before darkness fell and left several matches still out on the ! course, two other players had equalled the figures turned In by Locke. Late In the day, Jim Fer- i ier, a native Australian now play- I Ing out of San Francisco, turned In a 35-30, his back nine the low- j est half-round ot the day.

"llnksl was simply smashing against Woodcock," reports Isidore Ureen "Anyone run have all oft day or night, so Britons wrote off the loss to Tandberg and expected to hear of Baksl fighting somebody who wanted to fight Louis. Then It became Louis and Walcott, and Baksl didn't dispute It. Tho last straw rame when Tandberg came over and fought Maxim, Instead of Baksl." No wonder Editor Green of Lou don's Weekly Sporting Review brings word that the British feared Joe Baksl might have been kldnnprd by some of those dreadful Amerlraii gangsters they used to see In (he cinema.
