LOUIS, Jan. 28 (P)—Fred M. Saigh was sentenced to prison yesterday for federal income evasion, bringing the dapper, little St. Louis Cardinal owner to the end of his baseball road. U. S. District Judge Roy W. Harper gave him 15 months imprisonment on each of two counts, the sentences to run concurrently. Saigh also was fined $10,000 on one of the counts and $3000 on the other after he had pleaded no defense. Visibly Shaken Saigh was visibly shaken. He had trouble controlling his voice as he arose to address the court. "This means of course," Saigh began. "I will have to dispose of the Cardinals. There is no way I can stay in baseball." He observed he had seen men given much lesser sentences for income tax evasion. "I think you have been too tough with me," he told the court. Judge Harper peered down on him from the bench but his court demeanor did not change. He noted the least sentence he had ever given in a similar case was one year. Federal income tax evasion is punishable on each count by a prison term or up to five years or a maximum fine of $10,000 or both.

TUCSON, Jan. 28, 1951 Lloyd Mangrum, Niles, Ill., is the strong favorite to win the $10,000 Tucson open golf tourney that starts here Thursday, and to capture his fourth event in six starts during the winter swing. A flock of the 135 pros and amateurs starting the four day, 72-hole scramble believe they can take first money of $2,000 if they can beat Mangrum Need Sub Pars All feel they must shoot sub par golf to earn any cash The 6402-yard, par 35-33—70 El Rio Golf and Country club layout is one of the easiest courses the pros play all year.

Decorated Beats He observed he had seen men given much lesser sentences for income tax evasion. "I think you have been too tough with me," he told the court. Judge Harper peered down on him from the bench but his court demeanor did not change. He noted the least sentence he had ever given in a similar case was one year. Federal income tax evasion is punishable on each count by a prison term or up to five years or a maximum time of $10,000 or both No Elaboration Saigh did not elaborate on why he could not stay in baseball. In New York, Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick said he wanted to talk to his attorney before commenting on the Saigh case. There are too many legal angles to this situation," Frick remarked. Judge Harper asked Saigh's attorney R H McRoberts, how long it would take to put the baseball owner's private affairs in order. Then the judge set May 4 for execution of the sentence. Only a few hours before the government had agreed to withdraw three of the five counts in the original indictment returned last April against the 48-year-old Saigh. But red A. Iouninger, Jr., an assistant U.S. district attorney told the court. Oppose Policy As a matter of policy we must oppose the court's accepting a plea or vow Concharee (two defense) in this tax case. Saigh had originally pleaded innocent to the investment and was free on $2,000 bond. Boninger in a statement to the court pursued Saigh as un-coach with government agents in the investigation of his taxes and said many obstacles were put in course way in gaining access to what records they might require. The government attorney disclosed Saigh mentioned Joe possibly on a $250 a year pool in Joe Caruthner baseball office to an agent investigating his tax records. McRoberts said Saigh made no offer or suggestion to the agency that he wanted to hire him. Worried McRoberts said among reasons Saiga had decided to plead no waiver was that he, Saigng, was worried about the effect a prolonged trial would have on his equity mother and also its detrimental effect on his organization in the Cardinals and perhaps on baseball as a whole. Judge Harper said he accepted the plea of no defense because on the highly complicated technical facts of the case Mettoberts had stacked piles of cancelled checks on the bench before him in nearly two hours he pleaded for lenency. Mettoberts explained to newsmen that VERTICAL Away from To be sick Medicinal tablet Defect Actor's parts Symp of actinium Etest Bon of Isaac Project Puzzle Solved: Burke a Contender It would be no surprise if Jack Burke, Jr., Knamesha Lake N.Y., caught fire and swept to first place.

Decorated Beats Mighty Chanlea ARCADIA 4P—Calumet Farm's favored Chanlea gave away eight pounds today to Andy Crevolin's Decorated, and it was too much. The even-money Chanlea winner here in two previous starts, trailed Decorated by 519 lengths in a seven furling prep for the Santa Anita Derby. The time was 1:23. Meltobets explained to newsmen that there could be no appeal from the sentence since Saugh had thrown himself on the mercy of the court. The two counts on which Saugh pleaded no defense charged evasion of $19,269 in taxes. One counted he evaded $14,551 in 1917 and the other that he evaded $4,208 in 1949. He was accused in the original five count indictment of evading $49,620 in taxes from 1946 to 1949, inclusive. ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC. Theodore H.
