COAST LEAGUE
TEAMS OPPOSE
MAJOR GAMES

LOS ANGELES, April 5. U.P) -
With Pacific coast baseball owners
rising in rebellion against spring eX-
hibition games, the far west was
faced today with the possibility that
Pittsburgh and the two Chicago ma
ior league clubs will abandon train
ing sites in California next year and
train elsewhere, probably in Florida.
The Cubs, who have been train
ing at Catalina Island, already have
decided to seek a new site, it was
reported.
Latest to join the coast campaign
against exhibition games was David
P. Fleming, president of the Los
Angeles club. Fleming announced
the Angels hereafter will play no
major league opponents.
Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs
and White SoX are the only major
i league representatives which train
in this sector, Pittsburgh at PaSo
] Robes, and the White Sox at Pasa-
dena.
I'VE are going to eliminate all
spring exhibition games to see if it
will make any difference to our
regular season. Fleming said. All
along we have heard other club own
ers say the big league games knock
the edge off our opening. So we
have informed the Cubs who have
promised to look around and dig up
another spring camp. If the exper-
fence proves beneficial, it may be-
come permanent

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

The strong right arm of Frank
/ Shellenback, grand old veteran of
the Hollywood Stars, essayed his
! tory making task today with She'll
/ enback seeking mis- 262nd pitching
victory for a Pacific Coast league
record
/ Shellenback was chosen by Man
ager Oscar Witt TO oppose the Oak
land team in the third game of the
series. When the curtain rang down
on baseball last year, the veteran
hurler had 26l wins, tying the rec
ord set by Spider Baum. Shellen-
back won his first game in 1920
Meanwhile the Los Angeles An
gels occupied a familiar spot in
the league standings, holding I'M
disputed possession of first place as
the old club to win both games of
the current series. The San Fran
cisco Seals. Sacramento and Oak
land, defeated before home crowds
opening day, turned on their rivals
yesterday and registered victories.
Los Angeles had to travel 10 in
nings to dispose of the Portland
Beavers by a 5-4 score. Home runs
by Biackerby, Cox and Ed Bryan
kept the Beavers in the game until
an error on force play at the plate
gave the Angels the winning mark
er. Nicola, former easterner, made
his pitching debut with the cham
piCnS, and survived the home run
barrage to chalk up a win. Bryan
was the losing pitcher.
Home runs played an important
part in che Sacramento-Missions
contest, won by Sacramento by a
80 score. Stoner for the missions
sent his team ahead with a homer
with one on in the first inning. In
the eighth with two mates on base,
Lee Ostenberg of the Senators
drove the ball out OF the park. Tom
Flynn was the winning pitcher and
Dutch Lieber the loser.
A home run by a rookie pinch"
hitter enabled Oakland to turn the
tables on Hollywood. The Stars had
a 4-3 lead until the last half of the
eighth. Oakland put two men on
base and called on Jack Jackucki,
Polish boy from Hawaii, to swing
DeviveiroS' bat. Jakucki drove the

Is ters. but Powell has the greater
reputation as player. Jake, as
he was called when first with WASH
ington, made little progress in the
profession for three years, then under
the careful guidance of Joe Cabria,
now Albany president and scout of the
washington club, he came along with
a rush. This season he has been
an International League sensation.
Rangy and fast, Al has been a re-
markable hitter, a fash on the bases
and a stalwart in the field. He was
a key man of the Albany forces up
to the time bad knee forced him
into retirement for three weeks. Re-
turning to the game not so long ago,
Powell took up where he had left
off and still Is going along at reat
clip.
AS lead-off in the lineup he has
batted around 1865 to stand second
in his circuit. AS a hit-maker, he
tops the International League in its
latest statistics with 1872 safeties
Nineteen of his hits have been homers

ut. LOUIS, September 8.-With

\ but right fair job at third base

sion of Chicago where the White Sox

place Yankees will invade st. Louis.
And, with Manager Joe Cronin ex-
pected to assume control once again in
Chi, the Nationals hope to step up to
fifth place, which doesn't mean
thing to their pocketbooks, but won't
hurt their wounded dignity a whit.

A Precedent Is Possible.

TINE second delay makes it neces-
sary for the champion and ex-
champion again to weigh for
their return match. More than this,
it holds for local boxing followers the
prospect of establishing a precedent
by having a championship bout out
doors on a Saturday night.
State Athletic Commission Chair
man John J. Phelan ordered the fight
ters in for a reweighing today at
o'clock.
Keeping within the prescribed l47
pounds will, of course, be more of
a hardship for McLarnin, a natural
welterweight than it will be for Ross,
who, in addition to the 147-pound
crown, holds the world lightweight
championship and can fight at the
135-pound notch without endangering
his strength.

i being overweight, his manager,
Charley (Pop) Foster, last night had
him out on a seven-mile hike, bum
died in sweaters. He said an unoffi-
cial scale showed McLarnin weighed
146l2 pounds, an increase of three
quarters of a pound over the notch
he weighed officially Thursday. He
added. however. that McLarnin will
be at weight today.
Art Winch. co-manager and train
er of Ross, sent the titleholder
through limbering-up drill of three
rounds last night in Stillmans Gym
nasium. With both boxers the idea
of exercise last night was to avoid
the necessity for drills today.
The first postponement, it was an
nounced, resulted in fresh ticket sales,
with no refund on advance pur-
chases recorded.
