MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1 94S PACI EICHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Far West League Watches Way Around Power Break Baseball Men Hear Proposal For Generator MARYSVILLE, Calif., March 8 Seven of (ho eight Fur West league baseball clubs will be ready to play night ball at the start of the sched uled season April 30, League Skip per Jerry Donovan said yesterday, and a way to beat the California d.'ought and power shortage has been worrying owners of all clubs. Representatives of the eight teams met In Marysville to talk over the power situation yesterday and agreed that they'd have to cut down on their expected use of commercial power particularly six of the teams which He in the drought area. They may even have to play some twi light games and some partly in twi light and partly under the arcs. Or the power shortage may be al leviated by April 30, either naturally or by Pacific Gas and Electric com pany hooking onto the Shasta dam surplus as oilered by the U. S. rec lamation bureau. Only the Pittsburg, Calif., club is expected to be without lights of some kind when the season begins. And that wrinkle will be Ironed out before the playing year is over. PRIVATE PLANTS A reason for the optimism when the power shortage was about to deal a knockout punch to the newly initiated class D Far West circuit was the presentation of an offer by a Marysville equipment dealer to supply private power plants capable of lighting a baseball park. The dealer said he could get Chrysler motors and generators which would furnish all the power needed anc could be hooked onto any existing lighting system. The cost would be "less than $3000" and the running expense would be a gallon and a half of gasoline an hour probably not over $60 a sea son. Installation, he said, would be a matter of 20 minutes. Commercial power probably would cost each ball club $300 a year. Several of the club owners de cided to look into the private power equipment not only as a way to get around Northern California power shortage which has decreed a star vation ration for new businesses and tor sports lighting, but as a bargain over a period of years. Many ranches and businesses in the blighted area are turning to the mechanical generators. UNTOUCHED HERE Marysville, Santa Rosa, Willows, . Oroville, Pittsburg and Redding, all in California, are being pinched oy the power shortage and "emergency" proclamations, although the short age has made no noticeable differ ence in street, residential or business-sign lighting in any of the . towns. The voluntary "brownout" apparently was an abrupt failure. Klamath Falls and Medford, both In the Far West circuit, have not been bothered as yet by the power drop. Sports writers and broadcasters of the league organized yesterday to facilitate coverage of the games, electing Charles M. Zeno of the Pittsburgh POST-DISPATCH as president and Leo Haggerty, Marys ville correspondent of the Sacra mento UN JON as secretary. Padres Slam Beaver Boys RIVERSIDE.
