Coast Leaguers Begin to Back-Paddle On Banning Majors from PCL Parks
By GAYLE TALBOT
PHOENIX, Ariz. (D—Well), it turns out the Coast League doesn't want to fight quite that bad—or at least not that soon. Some of its members are able to recognize an overmatch when they see it.
Less than 24 hours after Horace Stoneham called his fists about the Counters' new rule having sitting games between big league clubs in their parks, the president of the Giants has been assured curiously by a pair of men who are high in the game that it was all a miracle and that it will be settled hurriedly.
"We're not that crazy," said President Clarence (Brick) Laws of the Oakland club after he and owner Phil Wrigley of the Los Angeles Angels had spent better than an hour placating Horace in a local hotel.
"I can't feel that our fellows meant to go quite that far. If there's anything we don't want to do right now it's to cut ourselves off from the big leagues. We want the Giants back out there next year and every year, and we told Horace so. The announcement, among other things, was poorly worded."
Laws and Wrigley have asked their fellow club owners to give League President Clarence Rowley their quit feeling around with the dynamite, the chances are more than bright that they will listen attentively. Wrigley has the money and laws usually for the champions.
The wonder is that a group of otherwise intelligent baseball men did not realize they were finally going too far in the cowboys and Indians game they've been playing with the big leagues for past several years. If Stoneham had not told them off, some other owner would have before long. It just happened to be the boss Giant who got sore first.
Horace felt somewhat better about it after his talk with Wrigley and Laws, but not to the extent of cooling out completely. The Stonehams rose slowly, but they stay roused.
"The willing to see what can be worked out at the Los Angeles meeting," he said, "but whatever it is it's not going to change my plans much." And we would go to Mexico next year, and we'll go to Mexico. We'll play Cleveland at Cincinnati, Monterrey, Mexico City and maybe another city down there. It'll be a great trip."
The guess here is that Rowland will have permission to work out an exhibition schedule with the major leaguers on a plan similar...
Laws and Wrigley have asked their fellow club owners to give league President Clarence Rowland authority to meet with the heads of the six major league teams which trail out this way at Los Angeles on March 15 and be straight things out to everyone's satisfaction. That is the meeting at which the big leagues annually arrange their exhibition schedule for the following spring.
"I can't say that the rule will be rescinded." Laws said. "That can only be done by official vote, but I believe I can promise that Clarence will be given the power to abridge it for the time being—call it anything you like."
That might well be the underdog promise of the season. When Phil Wrigley, not to mention Laws, suggests to the boys that
Huntington Beach Wins Over Ritz
In the only game played last night in the City League, Huntington Beach edged by Ritz Cleaners, 58-57. The Ritz Cleaners had led throughout the game, and sometimes up to as many as 11 points, but Huntington on the strength of Elmer Combs, their ace forward, overtook the Cleaner boys with just 22 seconds left in the ball game, and then hung on desperately to their one-point lead to win the nip and tuck game.

Santa Anita Hopes for Weather Break As 50,000 Fans Point to Capistrano 'Cap
ARCADIA (P) — Santa Anita winds up its 15th winter meeting tomorrow with the marathon $50,000 San Juan Capistrano handcap. If the weatherman gives the track a break, 50,000 fans will be on hand.
Ten or so horses are considered probable starters in the San Juan.
Included are the Brookfield Farm's Intent, disqualified winner of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap a week ago; Bryan G., the Oatsbuying stablemate of the now retired Hill Prince; Be Fleet, Clifford Mooers' Sudan; Breel Stable's Aldermann, and Stormy Cloud, Simonsez, Eddie's Boy, Lights Up and Iron Duke II.
Be Fleet won the race last year with veteran Johnny Longden aboard, and the same combination will be ready tomorrow.
Longden will be shooting at three straight in the San Juan. In 1950 he brought the great Irish horse, Noor, in to beat Citation in one of the classic races of all time.
The distance is a mile and three-quarters, a long haul for Intent, a four-year-old carrying high weight of 122 pounds. Eric Guerin was named to ride the Brookfield horse, which lost the big 'cap last week to Michel because of crowding the Argentine into the rail in the stretch.
Bryan G. will have Willie Shoe-maker in the saddle and 117 pounds aboard as the second high weight. Be Fleet carries 116. The California colt finished third in the mile and a quarter event last week; carrying 114 pounds.

Stanky, Schoendienst See Eye-to-Eye On that Card Second Base Position
By JOE REICHLER
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (CP)—Schoendienst in German means "good servant" and Albert Fred Schoendienst, the St. Louis Cardinals' happy-go-lucky redhead, is living up to his name.
Since Eddie Stanky was named Cardinal manager and followed it up by announcing he would be a strong candidate for Schoendienst's second base job, handball fans have been wondering how Red would react.
Rumors, all unconfirmed, flew thick and fast that (A) Schoendienst was on the trading block; (B) Schoendienst would be switched to first, third, shortstop or outfield; (C) Schoendienst had rebelled against playing anywhere but second.
Untrue, of course. All of it Here is what happened.
One of the first things Stanky did after taking over the reign of the Redbirds was to play Schoendienst a personal visit in St. Louis. Among other things Eddie told the All-Star second sacker he was going to complete with him for the second base job. If Eddie's playing attitude the club would be stronger, Red would be shifted to another position. But Red would play regularly elsewhere. That was certain, Stanky told him.
Schoendienst assured Stanky the arrangement was satisfactory.
Baseball Notes
By The Associated Press
BURBANK (CP)—The St. Louis Browns will have six left-handed batters ready to face the Pittsburgh Pirates tomorrow for the first exhibition game.
However, Manager Rogers Hornsby doesn't like the left-handed deal and is urging right-handed batter Bob Nieman to speed up his outfield training. The injury to Roy Sievers, who swings from the right, has complicated the situation.
Slated to face the Pirates are infielders Fred Marsh, Leo Thomas, Bob Young and Dick Kryhoski, and outfielders Jim Rivera, George Schmees and Jim Delsing. Marsh and Thomas are the right-handers.
Hornsby hasn't missed—his pitchers.
SAN BERNARDINO (CP)—Second baseman Jack Murray
More than just water went down the drain today, at Anaheim Union high school's Sunset league track opener with Santa Ana was called off due to "inclement weather." (You could almost swim across Clayes field early this morning.)
Coach Sam Keith frankly admitted he welcomed the postponement, however, since both Elli and Aaron Peralta would have been out with old football injuries and the balance of the squad had not quite rounded into shape. Early this morning he indicated that the meet would probably not be run anytime next week, but probably would be carded later in the season.

Visit in St. Louis. Among other things Eddie told the All-Star second sacker he was going to complete with him for the second base job. If Eddie's playing admit the club would be stronger. Red would be shifted to another position. But Red would play regularly elsewhere. That was certain. Stanky told him.
Schoendienst assured Stanky the arrangement was satisfactory.
"I'll play anywhere you want me to," Schoendienst told his manager. "All I want to do is help the club win. If I do that I don't care where I play, just as long as I play."
"That's wonderful," beamed Stanky. "I don't mind telling you Red, you've just taken a load off my mind."
Schoendienst worked out at first base for the first time last Tuesday and looked good, displaying his usual fine footwork and ability with the glove, even though unfamiliar with the position.
The more they talked the more Stanky became impressed with Schoendienst's unselfish outlook and his keen philosophy on the subject of baseball.
"Red," Stanky suddenly asked, "have you ever given any serious thought to what you would like to do after your playing days are over?"
"Why, no," Schoendienst replied. "I've never given it any serious thought...but I'd like to remain in the game in some capacity."
"How about managing?" Eddie persisted. "How would you like that?"
"I sure would," Red said. "I'd sure like an opportunity to manage."
"Okay," said Stanky, "from now on you're my co-captain with Enos Slaughter. I'd like to have somebody in the infield with authority in case I'm not in the lineup. I want you to take charge out there. Keep your eyes and ears open. Pick up the finer points. Try to get the manager's aspect of things. Assert yourself with the players and the umpires."
Slated to face the Pirates are infielders Fred Marsh, Leo Thomas, Bob Young and Dick Kryhoaki, and outfielders Jim Rivera, George Schmee and Jim Delsing, Marsh and Thomas are the right-handers.
Horrisby hasn't manned—his pitchers.
SAN BERNARDINO (P)—Second baseman Jackie Merson is the only Pittsburgh Pirate infielder sure of his job, says Manager Billy Meyer.
Merson, who played most of last year with Indianapolis of the American Association, has been impressive in drills this week. During the late part of 1951 the 28-year-old native of Elk Ridge, Md., hit at a .360 clip for the Bues and in one game against Brooklyn drove in six runs.
PASADENA (P)—Manager Paul Richards of the Chicago White Sox has tapped three pitchers, for service in the Sox first exhibition game of the spring training season Saturday.
Ken Holcombe, Skinny Brown and Marv Grissom will handle the mound chores in the grapefruit opener with the Chicago Cubs.
