Stars-Pirate B End Warm-Up Series Friday
Tomorrow the final game of the four-game practice series between Fred Huner’s Hollywood Stars and the Pittsburgh Pirate Bee squads is on tap at La Palma park.
The series, first outing for rookie Pirates and Hollywood vets, has teed off each afternoon at about 2 p.m., following regular workouts earlier. The games may well represent the last chance for local fans to see the major leaguers without charge, since the three “big” practice games (with the varsity Pirates next Monday, Seattle the next day and the Angels later) will all be admission affairs.
In yesterday’s game the Stars still failed to get into the win column and dropped a nine-inning encounter, 12-7. A tight game up to the eighth inning, the deal turning into a shooting match in that frame as the Piratesmen knocked out four runs off the hurdle of Star pitcher Jack Patche.
Pirate first nacker Dick Hall, a standout in all games to date, again was the heavy hitter of the day, whamming four hits for six turns at bat to drive in five runs.

Glen McCloud Says
I'm glad ranchers and orchardists of Orange county haven't demanded a subsidy for their crops from the Federal Government. It's not the democratic way to do business.
When we guarantee a man that he'll receive a certain high price for his product regardless of current prices, we do the majority of the citizens of our country an injustice. After all, who pays the subsidy in the end?
Free enterprise and the law of supply and demand are fundamentals which have made this country strong; and carrying them out, will in the end overcome economic difficulties encountered through the years.
It is just as reasonable to assure the man who bakes a loaf of bread or the man who mends a shoe that the Government will guarantee the price he will receive for his commodity. Singling out any group for special favor, even though they control votes, is not my idea of come up to the eighth innning, the deal turning into a shooting match in that frame as the Piratesmen knocked out four runs off the hurdle of Star pitcher Jack Pargue.

Anahi Track Team Meets Santa Anans
Curtain on the 1952 track and season will ring down tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. for the Aheim Union high school Colonists thinclads as they meet Santa Ana in a dual Sunset league set on the local field.
A much improved squad over the team the Saints handily took to camp last year, the Colonists look to give the Santa Anans a rough afternoon. Led by Larry Kirchmann, last year's winner-up in the state championship 440, the team is strong in dash and middle distance events, average in leather-lung injuries and definitely lacking in end entries. Sam Keith concludes the Colonists.
Santa Anans expected to give Colonists stiffest competition Dick Bennett, a triple winner warmup meet with Pomona this week; snaring the 120 hurdles, 180 low hurdles and jump; and Bob Burns, who tied up the blue ribbons in the second and 220 in the same meet.

N.Y. Giants and Cleveland to Kiss California Fans Goodbye Because of PCL Ban: Dims Coast Major Loop
PHOENIX, Ariz. (F)—The New York Giants and the Cleveland Indians are preparing to bid farewell to the state of California and the scenic northwest after they complete their tour of the rebellious provinces at the end of this month.
They have had enough of the Coast League, they say, until the western magnates return to earth and quit dreaming up restrictions such as the recent dilly which prohibits big league clubs playing each other in Coast League plants, starting next year.
In the coming three weeks the Indians have seven such games scheduled at San Diego and Los Angeles, and the Giants have three in the latter city. In between they also have numerous engagements against Coast League teams, but it is the competition among themselves which the big fellows count upon to pay the spring training nut.
“What are those fellows out there trying to do—cut their own throats?” demanded President Horace Stoneham of the Giants today. “Okay, we’ll let them and see how long they like being isolated from the major leagues.”
“We will continue to train right here in Arizona, and when we’re in shape we’ll simply head east, playing each other. We and the Indians had planned to make a short trip into Mexico next spring, but now we’ll go down to Mexico City for a whole week. We should play to a million down there.”
“We’ll be able to play through Texas, too. Their new rule says only that we must play as many games as possible.” Stoneham insisted. “How are they going to have any basis of comparison between players if they never see any big league ball?
“And, believe me, they’re not going to see it. We and the other teams can’t afford to play each other in places like Big Bank and Pasadena, and it’s always been murder, too, having to play Los Angeles in Wrigley Field. So we’ll just tell ‘em goodbye until they change their way of thinking.”
With three clubs—the Giants, Indians and Chicago Cubs—now training here within comparatively easy bus travel, it is possible to play a good exhibition schedule before breaking camp, and Stoneham disclosed that he is working hard on the Boston Braves to persuade them to shift from Bradentown, Fin., to Yuma, out on Arizona’s western border.
“I’ve talked to their general manager, John Quinn, on the phone and I believe I’ve made some progress,” he said. “I rather expect to hear something definite within a day or two. One more club out here would give us a fine set-up.”
As for the Coast League’s prospects of ever gaining major status, Stoneham was pessimistic even before the new exclusive policy raised his dander.
“There aren’t enough good players for two leagues right now,” he emphasized. “With the services calling up the young prospects we all are spread thin. What team has real reserve strength? So where do those fellows think they’re going to find the talent for this position with the team?”

Jack Westrope, who rode him last Saturday, won't be in the saddle. He is under suspension for failing to keep Intent straight in the stretch, so Erie Guerin, who was to have ridden Bed O'Roses, will take over.
Bed O'Roses has been scratched. Trainer Will Winfrey said the game little mare, is running a temperature. She finished fourth in the handicap and was considered to have a fine chance in the San Juan Capistrano because of the added distance.
How the field shapes up:

UCLA Builds Up Husky Odds In Cage Series
LOS ANGELES (UP)—The University of Washington's great basketball team, winner of 24 of 28 games this season, arrives today for a two-hour workout in the UCLA Bruins' crackerbox gymnasium.
The teams play a best of three-game series for the Pacific Coast conference title, tomorrow, Saturday and if necessary, Monday. The games will be televised on Channel 9 beginning at 8:15.
Washington, the Northern division champ, is favored. The Huskies hold two decisive victories over UCLA in exhibitions. UCLA figures to make a battle of it, nevertheless. The Bruins always have been tough to beat on their home floor. They have lost only three times in 58 games in four years. They have won the Southern division title the last four years and hold one POC title.
Coach Johnny Wooden concedes home surroundings should help his team, but rates Washington's as the nation's No. 1 team.
Led by 6-foot, 7-inch Bob Houbregs at center and Frank Gusiness, sensational forward, the Huskies play the rebound to perfection. Their height is going to be a big factor. They have Doug McCarthy.
ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhofer
NOTES TO YOU... There is only one other man in baseball who can play either second or third base with facility equal to that of the Yankees' prized Gil McDougal. That would be Lou Stringer of Hollywood, who is slated to start at third for the Stars in their exhibition opener against LA Sunday at Wrigley field. With Murray Franklin departed for San Diego and Gene Handley looking younger every day at second, Stringer figures to spend most of his time in '52 at the hot corner. Lou put in big league service with the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. Long-time baseball followers will recall when he broke into PCL baseball with the Angels in 1939. He played nothing but second then. Stringer has acquired quite an off-season reputation as a competent basketball official. Much of the credit for the durability of the aging infielder's legs can be chalked up to this. Continuously running up and down hardwood is bound to keep the underpins in shape.

Baseball Notes
By The Associated Press
PHOENIX, Ariz. — Whitey Lockman, the new No. 1 hitter on the New York Giants, is perfectly happy being assigned to the top of the batting order.
"I think my hitting No. 1 is going to improve my average," commented the first-baseman. "Most of the time I'm going to be up there on my own and won't be required to push anyone around."
Lockman hit 282 last year and drove in 73 runs. His RBI will suffer, but he doesn't mind. "If I can help the club batting first."
PASADENA (UP) — Manager Paul Richards of the Chicago White Sox today awaited the appearance of his "Cuban delegation" at training headquarters.
Minnie Minoso, Willie Miranda and Hector Rodriguez had been expected last Friday and Richards was worrying about their whereabouts.
He received a telegram yesterday from Mexico City which said the three Cubans had been delayed because of bad flying weather but would make it to Pasadena today.
SAN BERNARDINO (UP)—Two rookie pitchers have caught the eye of Bill Meyer and the Pittsburgh Pirates manager is hopeful both will be able to stick with the squad.
Coach Johnny Wooden concedes home surroundings should help his team, but rates Washington's as the nation's No. 1 team.
Led by 6-foot, 7-inch Bob Houbregs at center and Frank Gusiness, sensational forward, the Huskies play the rebound to perfection. Their height is going to be a big factor. They have Doug McClary, 6-foot, 8-inch forward; Mike McCutcheon, 6-foot 2-inch guard, and Joe Cipriano, the speedball guard, who is the midget at 5-11.
UCLA has developed remarkably. Every player is a good shot, and four are in the first 10 scorers in the Southern division.
Wooden, who played in the Big Ten conference, as did Coach Tippy Dye of Washington, plans to start Jerry Norman and Don Bragg at forwards; John Moore at center, and Don Johnson and Ron Livingston at guards.
Chuck Comiskey Leaves Chisox For Broadcasting
CHICAGO (AP)—Young Charles A. Comiskey II stalked out of his family's White Sox baseball organization last night and said he might be gone a lifetime.
He got a job with Liberty Broadcasting System, which recently filed court suit against most of the major league baseball clubs for 12 million dollars. Comiskey said he would be a vice-president in charge of all sports coverage. His salary wasn't disclosed but it was reported close to $20,000 a year.
The handsome 26-year-old grandson of the late famed "Old Roman," for whom he was named, resigned as Sox vice-president almost two months ago. He said he wanted more money than he was getting ($10,000 a year) and a contract.
Generally it was expected that his position with the team would date an off-season reputation as a competent basketball official.
Much of the credit for the durability of the aging infielder's legs can be chalked up to this. Continuously running up and down hardwood is bound to keep the underpins in shape.
So student William Spivey has been permanently suspended by the University of Kentucky. And through his attorney the audacious Spivey has declared that the suspension was not accompanied by an explanation and therefore unjustified.
Here are the background facts of the case as made public. When three Kentucky players of 1950 and 1951, all-Americans Alex Groza and Ralph Beard and Dale Barnstable, were revealed to have accepted bribes to shave points on games during the 1950 season, Spivey was asked, apparently only as a matter of routine, to go to New York and confer with the district attorney's office there.
The seven-foot all-American Spivey had been a teammate of the indicted threesome, and thus any slightest information that he might possess would be of inestimable value in prosecuting the gamblers involved and therefore helping to rid the sport of such shocking practices.
But Spivey did not cooperate. Instead he became quite indignant at the very suggestion that he might have even the faintest knowledge of the contemptible dealings between the gamblers and his teammates.
The request, by the New York DA had not necessarily implied the slightest guilt on the part of Spivey. Key teammates of confessed bribe-acceptors at other schools had all been asked to meet with law authorities, and all had cooperated in a spirit of eagerness to clear both their own names and that of the game.
But not Mr. Spivey. He became so fratricide as to remove his name from the Kentucky roster and spend the season in idleness as his way of protecting the insult he said had been paid him.
Finally, either by dint of his day from Mexico City which said the three Cubans had been delayed because of bad flying weather but would make it to Pasadena today.
SAN BERNARDINO (AP)—Two rookie pitchers have caught the eye of Bill Meyer and the Pittsburgh Pirates manager is hopeful both will be able to stick with the squad.
Meyer tagged Ronni Kline and Jim Waugh, a couple of fire-balling righthanders, the best of the rookie crop which worked out for two weeks before the regular training grind opened.
Kline played last year with Bartlesville in the Class D KOM League and New Orleans of the Southern Association.
was reported close to $20,000 a year.
The handsome 26-year-old grandson of the late famed "Old Roman," for whom he was named, resigned as Sox vice-president almost two months ago. He said he wanted more money than he was getting ($10,000 a year) and a contract.
Generally it was expected that his position with the team would be worked out.
His mother, Mrs. Grace Comiskey, White Sox president, had said:
"I am very happy. It looks as though everything has been straightened out and Charles will be back where he belongs."
At a news conference last night, Comiskey said "I do not know how she could have assumed that I would return to the club. At no time have I been offered any kind of proposition, compromise or otherwise."
Both Chuck and his mother obviously regretted the final break. But Comiskey said "I expect to have a lifetime job with Gordon McLendon and Liberty," which claims to be the nation's second largest network in number of stations served.
Young Chuck, only living male in the Comiskey clan, indicated he intends to hold his stock in the White Sox. He owns a good share of the team. And will receive additional stock as he grows older.
His mother holds controlling interest. The board of directors includes Chuck's sister, Mrs. Dorothy Rigney, and attorneys Roy Egan and Thomas Sheehan.
