Other Leagues May
Reduce Admissions

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. (UP)
Pacific coast league clubs set a
precedent at their annual meeting
here that may spread to all minor
circuits, when they cut admission
prices to 40 cents for grandstand
and 25 cents for bleacher seats, it
was indicated here today.
So far as known, these prices are
the lowest for any organized league
since 1919. While the whole league
is not held to these prices, San
Francisco Seals and Missions, and
Oakland will provide seats at the
named prices. A corresponding de-
crease for reserved and box seats
was indicated also.
The coast league was hardest hit
Of the double-A leagues last sea-
son, Hollywood, Los Angeles and
Portland being the only clubs not
losing money. San Francisco, termed
as the best city in the minors
in the past, saw interest at its low
est last season and led the fight
for lowered prices in the hope Of
stimulating interest again.

COMMENT ON

By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 25. - One of
the members of the New York
boxing commission has come to the
front with warning to wrestling
fans at the conclusion of wrestling
matches not to try to beat their
neighbors to the street.
It is obvious that the commits
sioner has never been to a rasslin'
match. If he had his little warn
ing would read like this:
Look around you now, suckers.
and choose the nearest two or three
exits to your seat. Don't wait on
fire to run mot walk through
those exits and out into the cool
of the night. If you beat your
neighbors to the street you're
plenty smart"
Granted such a warning would
be wasted. Your wrestling fan is
either exhibit A of boobus Ameri-
canus or a magnificent glutton for
punishment. Or both. Yes, he
must be. Otherwise why should he
buy a ticket, with real money, to
watch such a card as the garden
put on Monday night? And that
card, remember, was as wrestling
cards go, a topnotcher. 1t had a
worlds championship" match be-
tween Stranger Lewis and Jim
Browning. And as support it had
such outstanding men of the pro-
fesSion as Sander Szabo, Jack
Sherry, Marin Plestina, Dick Shi-
mat, Leon Pinetzki and Sammy
Stein.
But was the entire evening worth
a nickel? Yeah, one, if it was
plugged Yet there we're more than
5000 customers in the place, and

were doused, their shouts echoed
and re-echoed across the garden.
What were they shouting at?

WHY JOHNNY VERGEZ SLUMPED
AS GIANTS THIRD BASEMAN

came down from Alameda all
smiles. He was the father OF
baby boy. Later the team moved
north for some exhibition games IN
the San Francisco area, not far
from Alameda.
One afternoon. sliding home, he
twisted his ankle badly.
That same day his only child
was stricken with infantile paraly-
sis. Johnny's leg injury prevented
his playing the remaining games
in the San Francisco region. On
the night of April 8, the club en-
trained for the east, just few
hours after Vergez had sent word
that his baby was dead.
Johnny re- joined the team after
the season was under way. He
brought his wife to New York and
took an apartment. After every
game he would hurry home to his
wife, who was on the verge of a
nervous breakdown. He couldn't
sleep at night, and he worried all
Gay. But he had to play ball. He
couldn't Put any pep into the game.
On the road it was worse. He
was almost distraught. fearful that
something might happen to his
wife in his absence. He couldn't
hit; he couldn't field. His play
ing became so bad he was taken
out of the lineup and replaced by
English.
When Bill Terry became mana
ger. he learned of Johnny's plight.
Terry took him aside and told him,
Take it easy kid Don't worry.

BOXER SCOFFS
At HARD LUCK

Hoodcos have no terror for Err
ME Jurado, the little Mexican fly
weight who appears in the second
hall OF the double main event here
Friday night against Star Frisco.
Jurado's last fight was against
Baby Pal Moore at Ventura on
Friday, January Is. It was also Jur-
ado's 18th professional fight and
his baby boy was l3 months old on
the same date. The combination
did not phase lne Mexican boy in
the least, for he beat Moore with
out difficulty.
He will need his good luck with
him Friday night, though, for Fris-
co is a tough hombre. and though
he lost to Moore about a month
ago, he is likely TO get the nod over
Jurado because of his greater eX-
perience in the ring.
No matter which way the ver-
dict goes, the fans are certain to
see a fight rivaling the Arizmendi-
Dado fight at Los Angeles last
night, for both Jurado and Frisco
can travel fast and hit hard.
The other half of the double
main event brings Bobby Pacho
back from the coast after a long
absence, to meet Young Corpuz, a
