TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1951 0'DOUL MAY QUIT, HEAD OFS.F. SEALS By Associated Press One $1-a-year man in the Pacific Coast league got his walking papers yesterday and there are rumors of similar treatment for another—so how low can baseball salaries get? Dwindling attendance, a constant specter before the eyes of club own- ers these days, was blamed in part ¥ for reports that Manager Lefty O'Doul, whose San Francisco Seals “'lost 13 straight might “resign.” Sports Columnist Al Wolf of the Los Angeles Times cited the rows of empty seats which he said “all too plainly indicated that most of | the citizenry had given up on O’Doul and Co.” O'Doul immediately denied that he planned to resign. Seal Owner Paul Fagan and General Manager Joe Oregno also denied the reports Meantime, in Oakland, Dick ‘Wakefield, outfielder, asked for and | was given an unconditional release. Wakefield, who hadn’t started a game this season, said he quit base- ball because he felt he wasn't get- ting anywhere. He will try for a Jjob in the majors. Both Wakefield and O'Doul oper- ate under $1-a-year contracts which permit their clubs to base their ac- tual remuneration on results. i Games today: Los Angeles at Hollywood (night) Sacramento at Seattle. San Francisco at Oakland (night) San Diego at Portland (day-night doubleheader). HERE'S HOW NATL, LEAG. LINING UP By JACK HAND NEW YORK, April 10 —®—The National League race looks like a three-team squabble with the well- balanced fighting Phillies picked toj beat out Brooklyn and New York Giants. Sure you remember last Septem- ber. How the Whiz Kids wobbled and the awakened Dodgers almost nipped them at the wire. How Leo Durocher’s Giants, with Sal Maglie and Jim Hearn flinging shutouts, forged to third place in a gallop- ing finish. How the Phils lost four straight to the Yanks in the world series. There has been a write off the Phils as “one time wonders” to say Jim Constanty | never can approach his 74 superb relief jobs of last season. Here's the way the League looks from here: Philadelphia Brooklyn New York Boston St. Louis Cincinnati Pittsburgh Chicago Williams tendency to | National | | | rocks rolled high game of 211 an "Draffed” lown Is Edging Up Pitches Chfig\o Cubs to| 6-1 Victory-Marrero | Is Showing Stuff | By Associated Press The Chicago Cubs don't figure | to go far in the National League pennant race, but it appears, they have come up with the best “draft” n in more than a decade in ie righthander Omar (Turk) Lown. Lown, drafted from Brooklyn's Montreal International League team for $10,000, is the apple of Manager ; Frank Frisch’s eye. | Lown pitched the Cubs to a 6-1, five-hit victory over Little Rock yesterday in the Southern Associa- tion city. He worked the first eight | innings and never was headed after the fifth when Hank Sauer poled a three-run homer. Another neat pitching job was turned in by little Con Marrero at Winston Salem, N. C. Marrero hurled Washington to a 2-1, two- hit victory over Ken Raffensberger and the Cincinnati Reds. Marrero fanned nine. The New York Giants slaughtered the Cleveland Indians, 16-4, at Pine | Bluff, Ark. Whitzy Lockman got | two homers and Monte Irvin, Hank Thompson, Al Dark and Ed Stanky one each to lead the Giants’ bom- bardment. | The Brooklyn Dodgers also util-! ized the home run as they edged | Asheville, 9-8, at Asheville, N. C Roy Campanella clouted two and Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges one each. 5 Lefty Warren Spahn scattered 14 hits as he pitched the Boston Braves to a 8-4 triumph over the New York Yankees at Dallas, Tex. The Braves | scored six runs in the first four} innings off Vic Raschi to lock up the decision. Yank Manager Casey Stengel was tossed out of the game by Umpire Augis Donatelli in the third inning. Harry Taylor and Bill Evans scattered 11 hits as they pitched | the Boston Red Sox to an. easy 9-1| decision over the Chicks at Memphis.

As an idea of the amount of traf- fic over:the pass, A. F. Ghiglione, an official of the Alaska Road Com- mission, said that 80 large trucks were stalled on the road awaiting its re-opening during the eight hour period. Traffic has now resumed. ARC is now awaiting news as to the opening of the Haines high- way. The Alaska portion, to the boundary, is open but the pass on the Canadian side is not open and is in the jurisdiction of the Can- adian gowernment. Last year it A report on the slide on the Val- dez highway, which injured twe men and crushed the automobile in which they were riding was received by the ARC office, It wa$ explainec that the accident occurred not from debris being loosened by concussior of the blast but was caused by the rock and dirt which was being blas< ted from the hill A Two men, walking each way from posed to stop tr. beyond the danger area and then signal the man whose duty it was to set off in charge.

S. Fish and Wild- |life Service, returned to Juneau | over the weekend from its shrimp |area. It prospected from Berner's Bay to Skagway. C. Howard Baltzo, assistant re- gional director of the Juneau of- | fice of FWS, said that good trawl- | ing bottoms were found to the north but that shrimp showed in only fair numbers. He termed the | shrimping as “marginal” as far as commercial prospects were con- cerned. The vicinity of Haines produced 180 pounds of mixed pinks at about fifty fathoms, with drags of hall hour duration. In deeper drags, about 90 fathonfs, 40° pounds of large side stripes were brought up. However,. Baltzo pointed out that this was not too discouraging as during the spring the shrimp seem to move into shallower bottoms and inlets and the Cobb made only cur- sory examinations, He said one puzzling situation was apparently cleared up by the Cobb. During its prospecting it had seen no Dungeness crab but at one place the trawl was bogged down in the mud and uncovered a number of crabs which had evidently bur- rowed down into the mud in hiber- nation. This week the Cobb will work the Stephen's Passage and Port Snettisham will return in a few days to pick up Conrad Kneutson, crew member who is in St. Anns hospital. Kneut- son suffered a strained back dur- ing the Cobb's last trip. It is then expected the Cobb will proceed south.
