(UPI) - The Pacific Coast League begins Us 57th season Friday hopeful of complete recovery from the am putation the National League per formed a year ago in cutting off the loop's two biggest cities Los " Angeles and San Francisco. A chief reason for cheer is the anticipated three-way pennant chase among defending champion Phoenix, Spokane and San Diego. League president Leslie O'Con '. nor and the PCL directors believe the impetus of a hot race will stimulate fan interest in the league once again. Attendance dropped to its low est in 15 years last season when .only 1,502,087 turned out. - Spokane and Salt Lake City, 'which replaced Hollywood and "Los Angeles in the realigned league, did well for transplants last year, with Spokane leading 'the circuit in attendance with ",270,297 paying patrons. Only Phoe--nix didn't take root as the team 'replacing San Francisco. The local . Giants drew only 122,750, and with - a championship club. I.OLD STANDBYS DISAPPOINTING .- some old standbys like Seattle, Portland and Sacramento had '(harp attendance drops last year, Jayvees Victors In Meet Picking up the majority of their points from second, third and fourth place finishes, the Klamath Union High School Jayvees track squad defeated both Henley and Malin in a triangular meet on Mo doc Field Tuesday afternoon. The Jayvees wound up with 59M points while Henley finished with 45V4. Malin trailed in the third spot with 44 points. Henley's Floyd Kendall and Ma lin's Rick Illian both copped a duo of first places, Kendall grabbing the 880 yard dash and the mile while Mian swept through the pole vault and the javelin. The Hornets snared three other first place fin ishes while Malin won three, includ ing the relay. Burrell Gober won the 70 yard high hurdles, Dave Ragland the 120 low hurdles and Don Mills the high jump for the other Hornet first places while lit tle Don Micka grabbed t h e 440 yard dash and Abe Kirkpatrick the broad jump for the other Malin first places. The Jayvees picked up the other four first place finishes as Bill ban- to won the 100 yard dash, Les Husted the shot put, John Hancock the discus and Don Isensee the 220 yard dash. , Coach Jim Inglesby's Jayvees went on to post five second place finishes, nine third places and sev en fourths while the Hornets were picking up five seconds, four thirds, and three fourths.

Conversely, San Diego, which isn t very jar from the in fluence of the Los Angeles Dod gers, drew 233.691 the best season gate for ths Padres since 1955. "O'Connor blamed part of .the attendance woes at Phoenix on the fans' steady diet of major league teams spring training in the area. "I wouldn't be surprised if at tendance moves up, closer to two- million fans this season," he said. "We've got a later start: we're back on a split week series basis with two visiting teams playing the home clubs; and new ownership at Sacramento and the return of hometown hero Freddie Hutchinson to Seattle will help tremendously. The opening day lineup of games will find: Spokane at Phoenix; Vancouver at Salt Lake; Seattle at Sacra mento and Portland at San Diego with the latter four clubs open ing with day-night doubleheaders. This is how the teams shape up in the pennant race, according to the prc-season experts. The clubs are listed in order of their 19o8 finish: PHOENIX TEAM TO BEAT Phoenix Still the club to beat. The Giants have a power-hitting outfield which includes Dusty Rhodes; talented young pitching; the loop's all-star first baseman in Willie McCovey; and the league's manager of the year Red Davis. Biggest loss from last season Andre Rodgers the league-leading hitter at shortstop, who moved up to the San Fran cisco Giants. San Diego The Padres have good pitching in Bill Werle, Bob Alexander, Steve Ridzik and Bud Ducks Shutout Pacific Nine EUGENE, Ore. (AP)-Oregon shut out Pacific 6-0 behind the flawless pitching of righthanders Denny Peterson and Hugh Spring er Tuesday in a game called after six innings because of rain. Peterson hurled the first three innings and fanned five. Springer also pitched three innings and struck out two. Neither allowed any hits or walks. Ron Walp belted a 360-foot homer that sailed over the left field fence and brought in two runs in the first inning. The Ducks added another in the fourth and three more in the sixth. Oregon's record now is 10-6 in pre-conference play, while Pacif ic is 2-7. ' Pacific 000 000-0 0 Oregon 200 1036 12 01 Downs, Moore (4) and Imbrie; Peterson, Springer (4) and Olson. Podbielan; and a top defense, keyed by the double-play combin ation of Billy Hunter and Billy Moran. They lost power hitters Earl Averill and Dave Pope in trades. Vancouver The Mounties lost four pitchers who won 41 games last season and that hurts, but Manager Charlie Metro believes Charlie Beamon, Bud W a t k i n s Fred Besana, Gordy Sundin, Joe Hatten and Erv Palica can take up the slack. Good defensive out Held, but the clufi still needs a top-flight second-short combina tion. Portland If the Beavers do bet ter in the season series against Phoenix, they could be in the thick of the race. Last year they lost 19 of 22 to the Giants. They have a new tieup with Kansas City for talent. George Freese at third and shortstop Jack Littrell give the Bevos infield strength. SALT LAKE COULD SURPRISE Salt Lake The Bees could be the dark horse. Manager Larry bhephard is relying on Pittsburgh to give him the needed help to be a contender. He goes into the campaign with a lot of rookies, but to give speed and power, along with infielders Kenny Toothman and Nick Barone. Sacramento The Solons have Elliott back as manager, in a new regime under civic ownership and a new working agreement with Milwaukee, which should help The outfield has Carlos Paula, s heavy hitter. In the infield is slick-fielding shortstop Buddy Pet erson, and the veteran Nippy Jones at first. The Solons have pretty good pitching in Joe Stan- ka, Bill Dailey, Carl Gree and promising Braves' farm hands Terence Fox and Winston Brown. Spokane This club has Bobby Bragan as manager, and big Steve Bilko at first base. Those two alone will draw fans. The Indians have 1 some promising pitching in Roger Craig, Bob Giallombardo, Phil Paine and Chris Nicholosi; and a good Tony double-play ' combination in Tony Roig and Maury Will. Seattle Freddie Hutchinson is back, and so are dreams of a pennant, last won under "Hutch" in 1955. Fred has veterans Jack Dittmer, Dee Fondy and Eddie Kazak in his infield; Elmer Valo and Peanuts Lowrey in the out field. The big question is will they hold up over the long grind. .

Watch out for us now." That's the way Coach Punch Im lach summed up the Toronto Maple' Leafs' 3-2 overtime hockey victory against the Montreal Ca nadiens Tuesday night to cut Mon treal's lead in the Stanley Cup fi nal playoff to two games to one While photographers grouped around Dickie Duff, whose goal at 10:06 of a sudden death overtime won the game, veteran left winger Bert Olmstead had the following cautious comment: "Those Canadiens won't be push overs. That was the big game for us, I admit, but they re still lead ing the series. There was more of an air of stunned disappointment than gloom in the Canadiens' dressing room. Coach Toe Blake, sitting on a big trunk, was depressed. He had nothing to say before leaving the room quietly ahead of the players. Beavers Finish Exhibition Slate BRAWLEY, Calif.

Yawkey and General Manager Stanley (Bucky) Harris would show up to answer charges of ra cial discrimination next Tuesday. The State Commission Against Diseriminajion voted Tuesday to ask Yawkey and Harris to attend next week's meeting. The formal invitation came several hours aft er the fHational Association lor the Advancement of Colored Peo ple charged the Sox with racial bias following a controversy over the optioning of shortstop Jerry (Pumpsiei Green. A Red Sox spokesman said Har ris was ill with the flu and that he reserved comment on the com mission's invitation. Yawkey was at his plantation in South Carolina and would no! comment on the affair, the spokesman said. Commission Chairman Mrs. Mil dred Mahonry said at the conclu sion of Tuesday's 90-minute hear ing that "there Is enough here to warrant action of some type." This action could take the form of a conference between the Red Sox and Negro leaders or it could wind up in court. Herbert Tucker, local president of the NAACP, said the Red Sox had an anti-Negro policy going back about a dozen years. He said the Sox "summarily dis missed" Jackie Robinson and Sam Jethroe, both of whom made the grade with other major league teams, and "cold shouldered" an opportunity to hire Willie Mays. Harris, in a letter read to the commission, said that Green, who apparently started out the spring training season in good shape, had been optioned to Minneapolis of the American Association so he could play regularly and "develop in his profession." , , ' tiit urn -1 Sd4 Proof At -' V .
