PAGE SIX PADRESGO 10 TOP IN PC LEAGUE By JIM HUBBART (Associated Press Sportswriter) The Pacific Coast League finds it- self beleaguered again today by those three familiar party crashers, Jupiter Pluvius, television and th2 San Diego Padres. The Padres elbowed their way to the head of the receiving line last night by trouncing San Francisco, 10 to 0, while the Hollywood Stars, erstwhile leaders, watched a down- | pour at Portland wash out their chance to stay even. And the telévision blight, fancied or otherwise, got a verbal dusting by League President Clarence Row- land. A gritty, fist-shaking sort of personality, Mr. Rowland is a very, salty talker when it comes to his two pet peeves. Television is one of them. The major league draft is the other. Video, said'he, is to blame for the alarming drops in attendance at San Francisco and Los Angeles. He intimated that the way to remedy this is for the clubs to invoke the 30-day release clauses in their TV contracts. Alas, however, the Los Angeles Angels, hardest hit of all the clubs, have no such clause. They seem des- tined to play out the season be- fore sparse gatherings in a city with more than 300,000 TV sets in operation. At Wrigley Field last night, where the Angels lost a 10 inning affair to Sacramento, you could have fired a shotgun into some parts of the stands without hitting anybody. Only 1774 customers appeared. Ii was worse than the night before. At Seattle, catcher Ray Noble, a Cuban, drove in three runs with successive doubles as Oakland came from behind to trim the last place Rainiers, 4 to 3. The Oaks now have won four straight games in the cur- rent series. KID MATTHEWS WINS BY KAYO, 2ND ROUND BOISE, Idaho, April 15 — ® — Harry (The Kid) Matthews was one step nearer today to his dream of a shot at the heavyweight or light heavyweight title. The Seattle battler, tipping the scales at 176 pounds, knocked out Gene Pearce, 189, Salt Lake City, in the second round of their sched- uled main event last night. Matthews sparred with his heav- ier opponent in the first round. then decked him three times in the next frame, getting his knockout 38 sec- onds before the bell. FIGHT DOPE Six ring engagements last night with one knockout as follows: At Washington, D.C.—Beau Jack, 139, New York, stopped Lew Jen- kins, 139%, Philadelphia, 6. At Hollywood, Calif. — Sal Flores, 159%, Los Angeles, stopped Billy Zaduck, 152'2, Toronto, 5. At Indianapolis—Joe Arthur, 164, Chicago, stopped Eddie Miller, 160z, Dayton, 4. At Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—Billy Gra- ham, 146, New York, outpointed Phil Burton, 143, St. Louis, 10. At Toledo—Hank Risk, 146, To- ledo, outpointed Johnny Paoletti, 146, Akron, 10.

SCHWINN BIKES AT MADSEN’S BIG JIM JEFFRIES IS 75 TODAY; BIG CELEBRATION ON BURBANK, Calif., April 15—®— It’s diamond jubilee time today in the life of the last of the world's old line heavyweight champions, James J. Jeffries. It’s Big Jim’'s 75th birthday, and No. 75 finds him still a strapping bear of a man, alert and friendly, but a little on the ailing side. « There have been many large birthday parties for the onetime king of the ring, but this one has taken on the aspects of an official holiday—city and state. Burbank's official city family has preclaimed it “Jim Jeffries Day,” and Gov. Earl Warren has extended official greetings to Boilermaker Jim. And the sports crowd, with the boxing delegation in the fore, was invited en masse to Jeffries’ sprawl- ing cottage for a birthday party this afternoon. Old Jim likes to sit back and ex- change pleasantries and spice the talk with anecdotes quite apart from his ring battles. One of his favorite stories con- cerns the time many years ago when he disclosed plans to make a hunt- ing trip to Alaska. A sports writer inquired: “Will you travel incog- nito?” Jim, deadpan and solemn, replied: “No, I'll take a train to Seattle and go by boat from there.” EXHIBITION GAMES IN MAJOR LEAGUES | RAINED OUT FRIDAY (By the Associated Press) All 16 major league baseball teams had a single thought today—“wea- ther” they could play their sched- uled exhibition games. ‘With their season openers almost upon them, the clubs were anxious | for action. Ten big league teams had been slated to play yesterday but the calendar-defying elements — snow and cold—cut their exercises to no more than a vigorous session of gin rummy or a neck-straining glance at the skies. The New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers were to have opened a three-game set at Brook- lyn's Ebbets Field in what was tag-: zed a “re-play” of last fall's World Series. But snow fell for a second straight day—almost an inch of it. About 17,000 tickets had been sold, too. Today the World Champion Yan- kees, and Brookiyn's National League pennant holders were to try iuuronm GROCERY CHAMPS, FRI.
