The ball clubs don't like to talk about players who are dlsatlsfled with their contracts. They don't even call such players holdouts un til March 1, but call 'cm anything you like, here are some fellows who are Unhappy with their con tracts: Billy Loes, Dodgers Feels his 10-4 record warrants a ral.se. Don La r sen, Yankees Figures he Is entitled to a raise, too, on the basis of his 8-2 record with the Yanks and 9-1 slate with Den ver. Dave Phllly, Orioles He wants more than 120,000 for hitting .209. Del Ennls, Phillies Batted .296 but those 44 homers and 120 runs batted In are his big talking points. SAVED SERIES Sandy Amoros, Brooklyn His brilliant catch saved the ' World Series for the Dodgers but they are paying him more along the Knes of his .247 batting average ever the entire season. There are numerous others, too, who aren't exactly making a bee line for their pens. One of them Is rookie shortstop l-uis Aparicio oi tne White Sox, who, after hearine how confident Chicago officials are that he will be able to take Chlco Carrasquol place, exnccls them to refloe some of that' confidence in a little matter like dollars and cents. Bob Orlm and Billy. Hunter of the Yankeos have each fired back a couple of contracts and so has southpaw Johnny Antonelll of the uianis. Robin Roberts, who is reported to nave set his sights on $60,000, hasn't signed cither but In con nection with him and Ennls. Sec retary George Fletcher of the Phils says, "When you deal with prayers in tne big money brackets. It usually takes several confer ences to work out an agreement." SIGNS EARLY Maybe so, but Ted Williams, who is getting $100,000 and you can bank on that figure usually needs only 10 minutes to como to terms each year. The Dodgcra announced I h e signing of their relief ace Clem La blne, who won 13 and lost five last season In addition to spark ling in the World Series against the Yankees, He was given a laise. Outfielder Lo'i Bklsas signed with the Yankees. Right-hander Mel Held, a 2 game winner wllh San Antonio of the Texas League, signed with the Orioles, who are giving him his third trial In Uie big leagues. The White Sox reported the signing of pitchers Jack Harsh man and Bill Dulour while the Red Sox signed veterans Orady Hatton and Johnny Schmllz. UCLA's Ronnie Knox received credit for an 82-yard punt against the College of the Pacific last season. G C Q O O wwmm Home Games Await Pels, Tech Cagers Klamath Union's Pelican basket ball team and the hoopsters from Oregon Technical Institute face home court battles this weekend as they host the Grants Pass Cave men and Eastern Oregon College of Education Mountaineers In two conference outings. The Klamath-Granta Pass series will be the final home games of the season for the Pels, who will finish their remaining weeks on the road when they face Med ford and Ashland. Coach Don Peterson's Pelicans stand a very good chance of sew ing up the second place finish -In the Southern Oregon Conference, but they must win both from Grants Pass while Ashland falls twice to Medford. In clinching at least the second spot In the final conference standings, the Pels would assure themselves of a trip to the state tournament. Klamath already has dumped the Cavemen twice, and will probably oe laoDed lavorlles to trip the Grants Pass quintet here Friday and Saturday nights, but Peterson Isn't ready to accept the favorite's nod. The Cavemen pushed the Whltcblrds to the hilt in their first two meetings this year at Grants Pass, and since that time have been Improving with great strides, Including a close three point loss to Marsnneld, who in turn whipped Medford. OTI will be gunning for confer ence victory number four when they go against the tough Mom tlca from La Grande. In their first two meetings this year on the EOCE maple court, Tech foil twice to coach Bob Qulnn's chargers, led Dy taiemcd Ted Scnadcwlta and Lowell Kolbaba.' Schadewits, currently the confer ence s leading scorer and 1954-55 a conference selection. Is the spark behind the 1956-56 Eastern Oreiron ciuo, out KOiuaDa, a service-return ee hns been a big help to the mounues arouno tne backboards with his 6-4 frame and scoring abil ities. EOCE holds to second place In the conference standings, trail ing Portland State College. The Pelican Court preliminary games will pit the KUHS Junior varsity against the Coca Cola team of the City League on Friday night, and the Grants Pass Jayvees Sat urday evening. The OTI Jayvees will meet City League foes both nights In the prelims to the OTT EOCE contests. YMCA Church League Peace Memorial topped Mt Laki 28 - 16 and Chlloquln Methodist whipped First Christian In two In termediate Division games played during last night's YMCA Church League basketball action at Twyla Ferguson school. Allen scored nine points to lead the Peace Memorial victory, while Oles eight points topped the Chilo- quin scoring cttorls.

Baseball seems Intent today on making the Most Valuable Player" award more farcical than ever. This becomes evident in the pro posal of Commissioner Ford Frick that there be a special award to the "Most Valuable Pitcher." And that the hurlcrs thereby be deleted from MVP .consideration. In other words, the pitchers aren't players. Now this will get you an argu ment from, at least, anybody who ever toed the pitcher's mound. The theory is that pitchers only work every four days. Actually they do more work In a nine inning stint than most outfielders do In a week. Working on Frick's theory, may be there should be a different award for each position. It would make about as much sense. We could have an award for red-haired second basemen with the most freckles on Sept. 1. All you'd have to do is count 'cm, and the winner couldn't be de bated. Shortstops eught to get some re ward, loo. How's for a trophy to the one with the most spoke wounds as of the last day of the season. Third basemen could be trophlcd or atrophied, for ihc most chest blisters sustained while covering the hot corner in short-slccvcd un dershirts. And there certainly ought to be one for the outfielder who eats the most bowls of cold cereal seven days running. All of which would miilie about as much sense as awarding a sep arate trophy to pitchers and ex cluding them from the most valu able player balloting. Or as much sense as the MVP trophy the way it currently is bal loted. The system now consists of three ballots from each major league city. It provides for some great Injustices. The year Ted Williams hit .406, Joe DIMagglo won tlio award with 357 averaac. The year DIMag glo hit .346 and made a comeback which carried the faltering Yan kees to the pennant over Boston Williams won it with a .343 mark. The year Jackie Robinson cap tured the award, one voter led hlin off his ballot completely. This year Duke Snider was nosed out by Roy Campanella because one voter left Snider out of his firs'. 10 places completely; Your most consistent victim has been Robin Roberts, the Phillies' great pitcher. In 1952, Hank Sauer took the award with a .270 average on the basis of 121 runs batted In not phenomenal and a tie for the home run title with 37. Roberts only won 28 games and toiled a league-leading 330 Innings. Cellar Drainer Pump I'NIVERSAI, 1V.IECTOR WATER SYSTEM AND WELL DRILLING SOUTHERN OREGON WELL DRILLING Location! 2011 So.

British fans, newspapers and of ficials led the criticism heaped on the aging head of Ben Green, one of the most respected ring offi cials In the country. British boxing czar Jack Solo mons, promoter of the fight, said there was "bound to be an In quiry" over the decision. Informed sources said it was possible the British Boxing Board of Control would reverse Green's decision. Solomons, referees of prelimin ary bouts, experienced boxing re porters, and the 10,000 Harrlngay Arena fans all believed former world champion Gavilan had won easily with a bewildering variety of punches and aggressive tactics that obviously befuddled Water man whose experience gained in 30 undefeated fights was no , match for the 130-bout guile of uavllan. The referee's oard has not been made public yet. But a United Press survey of cards kept by ringside reporters showed a unan imous decision for Gavilan. The United Press card gave Gavilan seven rounds and Waterman three. From the fifth round on. Gavi lan was In complete control of the ngnt. He fought In flurries but was always the aggressor. He easily landed two punches to Waterman's one. He changed his boxing style at least four times and continu ously drove Waterman to the ropes. Waterman obviously was befuddled by the Kid's know-how.
