A TCHISON'S
ANGL LIE
BY LEWIS :. ATcHIsoN

Even while the Senate's Anti
trust and Monopoly Subcom-
mittee was asking prominent
pro football figures If the Ma
tional Football League can ex-
pand its operations, DO Nc
Clellan was in town asking If
the league couldn't. at least,
include Miami. Mcclellan is a
University of Florida quarter
back Of the late l920s, a sports
man and o promoter who hates
to see money lying idle in peo-
Piles pockets.
Miami had pro football once,
If only briefly in the 1906, and
some people think once was
enough. 1t was the home base
Of the Miami Sea Hawks of the
AIl-America Conference, but
Miamians proved to be remark
ly immune to the pro foot
ball fever. The franchise, even
tually travelling. wound up for
a while In Baltimore the Sec
ond time around.
McCleflan's idea is 10 have a
rowing" team in the south,
with Miami as its base. He'd
play four games there and
spend the rest of the time in
such pleasant tourist spots as
Jacksonville. New Orleans and
other southern points. And 30
is Q patient man. He doesn't
want the franchise before 1862.
Mcclellan, who knew Ray
Flaherty when the redhead
was leading the Redskins to
their world championships in
1887 and 1912, tried to enlist
George Marshall's help for
Miami. but it was no dice. The
Florida city missed the boat q
couple of years ago when the
Redskins boss had the IL other
NIL franchise holders in a
mood to alternately give it two
Of the pro footballs biggest
plums.
Briefly. Marshall proposed
that Miami would be the site
OF the NIL championship game
when the Eastern Division
champion was host, and Los
Angeles when the game went
West. The Pro Bowl game in
January, now a fixture in L. A.,
would alternate between the
cities. When the championship
game was in the West, the pro
bowl would be in Miami, and
vice versa.
Miami's Orange Bowl Com
mittee turned 1t down. It pre-
ferred the Big Eight-Atlantic
Coast Conference pact instead.
The agreement between the
two conferences expired last
New Years Day. The commit
tee might have been peeved
because the Pro Bowl game
originally was offered Miami
and accepted - only to be
switched to Los Angeles.
We thought the 'Miami-Los
Angeles idea was q good one
although you'll get q beef from
those who think the fans who
pay the freight during the reg
ular season should be able to
Gee the title game in the flesh
However, few of the college
teams in bowl games play or
home soil and If a title game
ever comes to Washington
again the tariff will be $40 9

reasons. For one thing. they've

Maryland sophomore, and a

Chavez Vote
Has 0'Ma|Iey
Edgy Today

LOS ANGELES, June 8 (R.-
It's up to Los Angeles voters
today to call the Dodgers safe
or out at Chavez Ravine.
The situation has Walter
OMalley, head of the Dodgers,
more concerned about ballot
boxes than the pitchers box.
The fate of Proposition B in
today's election will determine
whether O'Malley goes ahead
with his plans for a dream
stadium in the weed-grown,
billy site only a mile from the
Civic Center.
A yes vote on the proposition
means approval of O'Malley's
contract with the city. A no
vote means. at best, that O'Mal-
ley will have to renegotiate If
he wants Chavez Ravine.
Contract Provisions
The referendum concerns the
contract whereby the city
agreed to trade 300 acres in the
ravine for Wrigley Field,
|Dodger-owned former Coast
League park.
Under the contract, OMalley
would build his own $12 million
stadium and also finance con-
struction and maintenance of a
1alf million dollar recreation
center in the ravine.
The deal was attractive
enough to lure the Brooklyn
club here at no little relocation
expense. 1t appealed also to a
majority of the City Council,
which approved it, 10-4.
But a backwash Of opposi-
ton developed, some of it on
the council. 1t gained momen-
tum and petitions for the ref
erendum got enough signatures
to qualify for the ballot.
A chief opponent has been
Councilman John y. Holland,
who represents one of the city's
older sections. His main argu-
ment has been that the con-
tract is a giveaway.
Opponents Points
Holland and his supporters
have contended that the acre
age is worth far more than
Wrigley Field, and that givins
up 300 acres of cloSe-in Chavez
Ravine for a minor league park
on a 10-acre site is poor
business.
They also object to a COM
mitment whereby the city and
county will chip in up to $4,-
100000 for grading and roads
in Chavez Ravine.
Those favoring O,Malley's
plan point to returns to the
city in prestige, publicity and
increased business. They also
cite the taxes the Dodgers
would pay estimated at
$500, 900 annually on their
stadium.

Temperamental Billy Loes,
who declares he'll never again
play for Manager Paul Rich
ards of the Orioles, will be well
come in Washington, Manager
Cookie Lavagetto said today.
The Senator'S field boss, who
roomed with Loes in 1858 when
both were with the Dodgers,
said, "I'd like to have him"
Loes, under suspension by the
Orioles until tomorrow night
and by the American League
for three more days for showing
Umpire Larry Napp in Sun
days game with the Senators,
was fined 500 by each source.
Since his pay is Cancelled during
his six-day suspension by the
league, it's believed his total
monetary penalty will exceed
$500. His salary is reported to
be between SIS, 900 and SIT, 500.
81 want to be released or
traded" Loes said. tive had
my fill of Richards, and I'll
never play for him again. He
cares only about himself"
Willing to Gamble
Lavagetto admits Loes would
present a problem, but he'd like
to gamble on the Highlander,
who had a 1877 record last sea-
son but who is 0-5 this year.
I'm interested in pitchers"
Cookie said. land Loes knows
something about pitching"
There's a difference of opin.
ion regarding that reference.
Richards, asked who would take
up the slack in his pitching
staff, asked: What slack?" He
added that he wouldn't mind
putting up with Loes' antics
IF the guy could pitch" and
said: Were not short Of
starting pitchers. What we
need is somebody to hit the
ball."
Dramatic ViOtcry
Meanwhile, the Senators, who
have won four of their last five
games, will clash with second
place Kansas City tonight in
a twilight-night double-header
at Griffith Stadium starting at
6 o'clock. The clubs will meet
again tomorrow night and

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland,
June 3 (P.-Four veteran
American golfers marched into
the third round of the British
Amateur championship on the
fog -shrouded Old Course of st.
Andrews today. But a fifth,
who carried high hopes for an
American victory, was knocked
out in the second round.
Jimmy McHale of Philadel-
phia, Jack Penrose Of Miami,
Fla, Robert Roos of San
Francisco and Frank Strafaci
of Miami-all over 40 years old

tories. Gene Andrews Of Pacific

rain, wind, fog and cold, lost
out to Reg Taylor Of South
Africa, 2 and /.
Andrews defeat was a severe
blow to American hopes, as he
had been installed as one Of the
favorites after an impressive
f1rst-round performance. Play
ing the first match of the day,
he experienced the worst of the
severe weather.
Plays Wrong Ball
The fog was so thick at times
the players could not see balls
after they had been driven
more than 20 or 30 yards, and
the temperature dropped into
the 30s.
McHale had to forfeit one
hole because he played the
wrong ball in the fog. Still he
managed to beat Norman Saul
Of England, 3 and 2. Penrose
whipped Bob Spencer of Eng
land, 4 and 2; Roos gained
a 1-up victory over John Guest
