Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (UP) — The last suppy day we drove away from Larry MacPhail's 800 were truck garden down in Maryland the distinguished redhead was in retirement and up to his hips in heavy, underslung black cattle which were beginning to win blue ribbons in nearby cow competitions. Having laid down the heavy burden of roping the New York Yankees and banked the check for one million dollars, MacPhail was a happy, contented man. His charming wife Jean, was happy too to see the old residences finally gone from her husband. His only interest were the bovines and the pleasant life about him. There was one old stone strucure on the grounds, nothing like the fancy quarters provided for the cattle, and we recall dimly that a number of lonely some looking mares were staring out from their stalls. MacPhail said they didn't signify anything. Either he was just giving the animals house room as a favor to Alf Vanderbilt, or he had bought them cheaply from the young sportsman, we don't remember which. At any rate, he had no intention of getting serious about race horses. Larry was through with sports in all its branches. Well, it just goes to show. That was something less than five winters ago, and friends insist this is the same MacPhail who sold $195,200 worth of colts and fillies at the last Naratoga auction, and $116,200 worth at the one before that. It also is the same MacPhail, they say, who is president of Bowle race track and who is putting in something like 14 hours a day getting the rebuilt plant ready for its fall meeting which opens on Nov. 17. Under the driving force of the man who retired, the old Maryland track is preparing to put on two $50,000 added races, the Maryland gold cup for 2-year-olds Nov. 22 and the President's plate handicap Dec. 6. This is twice the figure Bowie ever put up for a race before. Bowie has an entirely new track. It has new seven-fur-long and mile and a quarter chutes and has been prettied up by two artificial lakes in its infield. MacPhail's New York backers originally thought of spending something like $700,000 on improvements as a starter, but they should have known Larry better than that. At last report he was estimated to have used up about 1½ million dollars and was showing no signs of slowing down. Walton Fishing Winners for Year Are Announced The top fish in the Anaheim Hies fishing contest which closed Oct. 15 were announced by President Arch Henry as follows: Black bass, Lake Meade, 6 lbs., Arch Kavanagh.

"Dreamy" Staff Lost Big Game For California SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Edgar Eggs Manske, blames California's "dreamy" coaching staff for the Beans' 10-0 defeat by Southern California. Manske himself a former grid great at Northwestern and in pro football, told the Touchdown club yesterday: "At the beginning of the season we figured we had the greatest team in the country. We thought of it as a super team. And we had a great dream." "We concentrated on how best to use this super team. We spent hours on taking and finesse, on how to baffle the defense. Now that great dream is shattered. Why? Because we, the entire staff teams still 'hitting 400' — avon down, made a coaching mistake." "We forgot fundamentals. We didn't worry enough about hitting somebody and knocking him down when he had the ball. We didn't spend enough time on blocking." Manske said he expected UCLA to give California "one helluva game" Saturday at Berkeley. "UCLA is the best balanced team in the nation," he said. "On paper, California is the best in the country. On the field UCLA holds that honor." JOHNSON CITY, N. Y. (P)—Michael J. Mike Murphy, 64, for league basketball team, beat the er and minor league umpire, died Sunday.

Edward W.Merrill Walter L.West Clark Miller Otto Powell Dr.Ralph E.Watson Walter A. Stark Phillip W.Newman John L.McBride Fred C.Rowland Ellis W.Wanley Charles W.Hoster Louise Larsen NEW YORK (P)—Payment of fancy $100,000 bonuses to untried youngsters to sign with major league baseball clubs may be harply curtailed in 1953. Major and minor league clubs, at their joint December meeting in Phoenix, will be asked to vote on a proposed new bonus rule that would restrict such payments to $6000 tops. In the past 18 months, the Boston Red Sox spent some $430,000 for high school and college stars. Two of the highest bonus players are Pitchers Paul Pettit and Billy Joe Davidson. Pettit, property of Pittsburgh, received an estimated $100,000. Davidson received some $120,000 from Cleveland. Neither has made the majors. The new proposal, drawn up yesterday by a special committee of the major-minor executive council, provides: 1. Each major league club owner would agree—in a gentlemen's agreement—not to offer a bonus exceeding $6000 to any player. 2. Violation would subject the transgressor to a year's suspension, a $500 fine and loss of the player. 3. Minor league clubs would enter into a similar agreement with $6000 the ceiling for open classification, triple A and double A loops, $4000 for A and $3000 for B, C and D organizations. 4. All bonus players, regardless of the amount they received, would be subject to unrestricted draft if not called up to their major league club within one year. 5. Clubs would be forbidden to make special payments to parents, friends, relatives or agents in forms of cash, homes or automobiles. A spokesman pointed out that the new proposed rule has more teeth than the unlamented old one which was repealed at the 1950 winter confabs.

"I figure Staley for Hodges and Furillo a fair swap. That leaves Musial even up for Cox, doesn't it? How crazy can I get?" FEAR BEGETS SMEAR... A FRANTIC ADMINISTRATION and its equally - frightened hand - picked hopefuls have told you many untruths in this campaign. They persist in the doctrine of fear. They have given you slogans, mud-slinging and innuendoes. SUCH LOW TACTICS are no solid substitute for Eisenhower's pledge: TO CLEAN UP THE MISERABLE MESS IN WASHINGTON. TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM SO DEARLY WON ON THE BATTLEFIELD. TO PROTECT THE LITTLE MAN AGAINST BIG GOVERNMENT. TO INSURE HIS RIGHT TO FREEDOM FROM LABOR BOSSISM.
