Macphail Responds
To Minor Accusation
TIME OUT
NEW YORK (AP) - Baseball
Is entertainment, as is television.
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.

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

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."

Rain cut the Pacific Coast
League schedule to only two
games Tuesday night, and that

far as the Vancouver Mounties

The Mounties, favorite no-hit

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
