Phoenix, Spokane and San Diego.

'. nor and the PCL directors believe

stimulate fan interest in the
league once again.

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

and partly blamed the National
League invasion as cause for the
affliction. 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. '

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. .

PORTLAND (AP)-The spring
Chinook salmon commercial fish
ing season in the Columbia River

Leafs Topple
Montreal Club
TORONTO (AP) "That was
tne big one. 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

BOSTON IUPI) A Massachu
setts commission awaited word
from the Boston Red Sox today
on whether owner Thomas A.
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."
