What we have done is merge the twQ so the public can enjoy our great national pastime." That's the answer of William C. (Bill i Macphail, director of sports for the Columbia Broadcasting Co., Inc., to charges by minor league baseball men t::-oughout the land that the telecasts of big league games have practically wrecked their domain. "We feel," Macphail said, "that baseball on television any brand of baseball tends to create and stimulate interest in the game in general, and in the home town in Tacoma Jubilant Over Bid TACOMA (AP) - This city's sports and civic leaders voiced jubilant words of optimism Tues day over news Tacoma will have a Pacific Coast League baseball iranchlse next season. "It'll be a great psychological lift to the city, something Taco ma has very definitely needed in sports," said Clay Huntington, baseball chairman of the Tacoma' Athletic Commission. Dan Walton, sports editor of the acoma News. Tribune, said the city has the "population, geo graphical Ideation and natural ri valries needed in a baseball op eration." ' The Pierce County Commission ers cleared a major hurdle for shifting the Phoenix Giants' fran chise to Tacoma when it agreed Tuesday to split 30-50 with the city of Tacoma for a $590,000 bond issue for construction of a new 7,000 scat baseball park. Dewey Soriano, executive vice president of the PCL, said in Se attle he believed the Tacoma team would draw twice as well as Phoenix did last year. Phoenix1 attendance last season totaled 122,750 and officials estimated this year's gate would drop below 100,000. A Tacoma team would give Washington State its third PCL franchise. Spokane and Seattle al ' ready have teams in the league Soriano said he anticipated a red-hot rivalry between Seattle and Tacoma, both oh the field . and at the turnstiles: particular, if the latter is properly promoted. We in television do not feel that televising of the major leagues on Saturday and Sunday has materially affected the struc ture of minor league baseball. The figures show that the trend of the diminishing minor leagues was well in evidence long before tele vision became a factor in 1953. "At its peak, the National As sociation had 59 leagues in opera tion namely the 1948-50 era. In 1953, when major league baseball first entered into the national tele vision market, 38 leagues were in operation a drop of 34 per cent Last year there were 84 leagues in operation, a ratio in proportion with the pre-television decline." In addition to the charges hurled at television, the minors blame their sagging situation on such things as the far-Hung farm sys tem ajid the bonus plan, both of which they say tie up all available talent for the majors) desire of the majors to "make a quick buck" , instead of havinf a long range cooperative plan which might save the minors; lack of leadership willing to take a strong hand in settling major-minor dif ferences, and a multitude of other things. The fact remains that the once far-flung empire of minor league teams continues, to crumble. ;t JIP.1UB .

Lewiston, Senators In Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The bat of Ron Wilkins and the right arm of Jack Lutt enabled the Lewiston Broncs and Salem Senators to vault arm-in-arm into the Northwest League lead Tues day night. Wilkins' bases loaded homer brought Lewiston sf 10-5 victory over the Wenatchee Chief dropped into second a half game back. Lutz struck out 14 and al lowed only three hits as' he shut out the Yakima Bears, 3-0. Eugene did all its scoring in the eighth to beat Tri-City 4-3, The Broncs already had a lead but the blast by Wilkins the eighth erased all doubt. Dan Sarver iad hit one over the fence during Wcnatchee's four-run eighth. A crowd of 682 watched far under the 1,100 officials said were needed for the remaining home games. In winning his 14th, the 28-year- old Lutz gave up only three sin gles two to Don Ganus and one to Herm Lewis. An inlield out and Jne Wilson's single gave Salem two in the first and Carl Hutzler's single drove in another in the third. After being held to a lone single until the eighth, the Emeralds teed off on Bill Griffin with sin gles by Charlie Hiller and Carl Bowles, hit batter, sacrifice and towering triples by Joe Sparks and Mel Krause.

Demoscv To Help Set Fight NEW YORK (AP) - An old time promoter was back in the fight game today to help solve some of the confusion surround ing the heavyweight champion ship. Jack Uemusey, now 64, was hired Tuesday as promotional di rector and adviser to the embat tied Rasensohn Enterprises which still hopes to stage a return world heavyweight championship bout between Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson on Sept. 22. Jo hansson won the title from Patter son last June 26. Dempsey has been out of the promoting dodge for a long time but. he had a couple of good ones In his day. His last one was the Max Baer-Max Schmeling bout in 1933. A couple of years before that he handled the Baer-Paulino Uz cudun battle in Reno. And, of course, Dempsey had some experience in, the ring. This is a salaried post tor the ex- heavyweight champion and he emphasized that he has no stock in tne corporation. The company had its promoter's license cuspended by the New York State Athletic Commission because of ''statements" made by Bill Rosensohn, ex-head of Rosen- sohn Enterprises in a magazine article. "1 am prepared to go anywhere N the world to help the fight," said Dempsey. "I may fly to Swe den next week to talk to Johansson.1' By OSCAR I-RALE Y NEW YORK U'PH They brought the old war horse out of the barn today and it was the smartest move the Continental League could have made in its effort to get into the major league race. Branch Rickey was named president, of the proposed new league after (our years in semi- retirement as do-nolhing "chair man of the board" of the Pitts burgh Pirates. He is, without question, the one man with the knowledge of baseballs mysteri ous doings who cnuld lead the third league over the inaugural quicksands. The only question is how, at 77 and on the heels of a heart at tack two years ago, his health will hold out. But mentally, Rickey still is the imaginative giant who fathered the baseball farm system, broke baseball's color line, devised the knothole gang and at various stages led the Browns, Cardinals, Dodgers and Pirates out of the baseball backwoods. YEARS TOOK TOLL The years, of course, have taken their toll. Yet the man who took over the new league's presi dency was more than a fair fac simile of the old Mahatma of Montague Street --whose bombast and vision kept the National League jumping before he lett Brooklyn nine years ago. The new league came up with one of baseball's most able brains when they grabbed him at $50,- 000 a year. No longer can the Iwo established leagues foist off the Continental as a myth perpe tuated only in the minds of ama teurs. And, with the mace of antl monopoly at hand, Rickey can always club tnem into a worna bfe agreement if. which is to be doubted, he fails tor the first time as a spellbinder. The question of his health would seem to be the great rkk taken by both himself and Ihe proposed third league. But Rickey shrugs it oil. FATHER LIVED TO Si "My father was 8t when he died." he recalled as he beamed oer the greatest challenge he has ecr laced in baseball. "I re- ember just before he died he cleared 16 acres at Portsmouth. iiio. and planted fruit trees. 1 sked him what he was going to an wun the Innt." His father replied: "What dilierence does it make? It's just that I intend to live every day as if I was going to ve forever. This has become Rickey's own motto. Bill Shea, the energetic attor ney who has been the driving force behind the third league, (lis losed how much faith and hope the Continental is placing in Rickey when he said: "We felt he was Ihe only man who could conclude Ihe operation we have undertaken. He realizes the great toll it might take of him. We pray the good Lord spares him so he can see the Continental League' champion in Ihe World Series."

The Mounties, favorite no-hit pickings for the league's pitchers, absorbed their third no-hit defeat of the 1959 campaign, bowing 3-0 to Mark Freeman and his Seattle Rainier mates The Canadians previously had been beaten by no-hitlers pitched by San Diego's Russ lleman and Sacramento's Winston Brown. In the only other game of rec ord Tuesday night, the San Diego Padres banged out 14 hits and whipped the last-place Phoenix Giants 6-3.
