COY EG4N PLANS TO LET SENATE BILL I47 BECOME LAW

ANCHORAGE LR Gov. Wm Egan said today he plans to go ahead with decision to permit Senate Bill AT to become law with out his signature. The controversial measure, which provides for the popular election of political officials, was con- demned strongly at the State Dem ocratic Convention in Nome last weekend.
 The convention adopted reso- lution directing Egan to veto the bill and also approved party plank placing the Democratic or ganization in opposition to the bill.
 Because the bill will not become law until May 8, if Egan follows present plans, it will have no actual effect until 1864, the closest year in which party officials could be elected under the provisions of the bill.
 The filing deadline for this years elections passed at 5 pm, Alaska Standard Time, yesterday.
 Even if the bill becomes law, Egan said, "there will be two leg islative sessions in which the mem bers of the legislature would have the opportunity to amend or re- peal the bill
 "The legislature, itself, enacted the measure and the legislature should take the initiative if the law is changed or wiped off the books.

Ice Classic Payoff
 Will Be $84,OOO

FAIRBANKS R = The Nenana Ice Classic payoff will be S84, 1000 this year, according to manager Don Clark This compares to s76,- 900 last year. The largest payoff ir recent years was in 1857 when the pot was S1I3,000.
 Although there are two holes in the Panama River, old- timers are estimating that the breakup is still about week to ten days away.
 The Nenana River, which flows into the Panama about one half mile south of the tripod area at Nenana, is breaking up according to Clark
 The Ice Classic Committee has not placed the tripod on the ice yet nor set up the clock. This is usually done five or six days be- fore the ice is expected to go out. When the ice moves a certain dis tance under the tripod, the clock is ripped recording the official time of the breakup
 The committee has always man. aged to get the tripod and clock in place before the breakup. The guessing contest goes back to 1917. However, Clark said today that q had dream the other night about the ice going out before we had the tripod and clock installed. l woke up in cold sweat.
 This year 154,O0O tickets were purchased at $1 each.
 Out of this amount. the classic takes from three to five five percent to finance succeeding classics and for local civic programs; ten per CcIli IS taken m taxes by the fed eral government; I2 per cent goes for wages: and about two per cent each goes for wagering stamps. dealers commissions and city taxes. Costs of putting on the classic are also deducted before the total payoff is figured.
 For those interested in past per- formances, officials say that the odds are 2-1 that the ice will 20 out in the pm and 2-1 that it will go out in May The average is during the first few days of May

Rain Keeps Senators Idle;
Schedule Already Jammed

Manager Mickey Vernon will
stick to Pete Burnside to open
the Cleveland series with an
afternoon game there tomor-
row. Vernon will come back
with another southpaw. Claude
Osteen. on Saturday afternoon,
and pitch Bennie Daniels and
Joe McClain in the Sunday
double-header.
The Senators are off on
Monday and play at Detroit
next Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoon. They have another
open date next Thursday be-
fore starting a three-game
series with the Orioles here
next week end.
Washington's seven-day alb
sense from the stadium will
give Groundskeeper Joe Mooney
and his crew an opportunity to
work on the soggy turf. AS
Mooney said last Sunday, the
turf needs sun and wind more
than anything that man can do.
1t has rained all or part of
every day here since last Fri
day. with the exception of the
Senator's open date on Tues
day. The stadium turf is simply
saturated.
Cleveland did not use Gary
Bell, Barry Latman or Jim
Perry in the Boston series
which means all three will be
fresh for the four-game series
with the Senators. So will Sam
Mcdowell, the highly touted
rookie southpaw. Dick DON
ovan, who shut out the Red
SoX on opening day, probably
will work against the Senators
in one of the Sunday games.
Vernon is disappointed over
the inactivity, but Mickey is
not the type who broods over
something he can't do any
thing about-like the weather.
When somebody mentioned the
Senators have had batting prac-
tice only once since last Thurs
day, Mickey cracked, Maybe
we'll be stronger"
Most Cleveland starters are
righthanders, which m n S
Gene Woodling and Jim King
will start in right and leftfield
for the Senators.
The Senators leave for Cfeve-

THE OFFICE TELEPHONE rang a
couple of times after Donovan's five-hit
Shutout over the Red SoX. One voice re-
marked, petulantly, IF we'd kept Donovan
here in Washington we'd have had a pretty
good pitching staff"
There is a certain amount of truth to
that contention donovan and Daniels
would make tidy one-two pair of starters
but by the same token the Senators didn't
precisely GIVE Donovan to the Indians
They got Jim Piersall in exchange and he
figures to play every day Cor night and
some of those catches he makes in center
field are going to make the Donovan-lesS
Washington pitching staff look a little
better
1t was coincidence though, that Bennie
Daniels, who has succeeded Dick as the
nominal ace of the Senators pitching corps,
should have approximated DonovanS nifty
opening game victory. Approximated? The
two performances were almost identical
Bennie should have pitched Shutout,
instead of having to settle for Al victory
over the Tigers. Donovan did win by 40.
And each gave up only five hits!
1T MIGHT BE WORTHY of mention
that Washington's opening-day crowd was
the biggest of any American League in
augural and ranked behind only the Los
Angeles curtain-raiser, which dedicated the
Dodgers own new park in Chavez Ravine.
All 45016 seats in the new D. C. Stadium
had been sold, although only 44,383 showed
up due to threatening weather But in New
York where two such hot clubs as the
Yankees and Orioles were meeting, there
were only 22,979 on hand. In Chicago there
were only 1924 for the White Sox opener
and in Boston only 14,736.
In Kansas City, where Jolly Cholly
Finley has been mending his goodwill
fences, the gate count was 21,O12. The
Giants, who have a legitimate flag con-
tender and we're playing hosts to the equally
authentic Braves, drew 39,177 in Candle
stick Park, not quite capacity.
Only in Los Angeles, where 52,564 OF
the $4,000 seats were occupied, was there a
larger opening crowd than Washingtons
In this connection it might be mentioned
that if Pete Quesada's customers thought
they were caught in a traffic jam they

Bio Pitchers Find
Opening Day Rugged

THE 1862 DEBUTS OF THE so-called
big pitchers hardly could have been
called auSpicious. On the same day that
Don Nossi, ace southpaw of the Tigers,
came up loser to the Senators, the man
who won the pennant for Cincinnati was
getting his come-Nppance
The PhillieS, of all people, clobbered
Joey Jay, the 2l-1O highlander of the
National League champs. And the next day,
when the rest of the clubs that weren't
weathered out swung into action, there was
more woe for the mound giants of 81.
Johnny Podres of the Dodgers, who
had the best won-loSt percentage in the
National League with 1875 last year, was
a Well-battered loser to the Reds And
Warren SPAIN, winningest and perhaps
greatest lefthanded pitcher in N. L. history,
was batted out and defeated in less than
four innings by the Giants
In Boston, the Red Sox' prize pitching
rookie of 81, Don Schwall, was shutout
loser to the Indians and Dick DonovanJ,
and in Houston, the pride of the Cubs,
Don CarGwell Q5-14D, couldn't come out
for the third inning against the new Colts.
IN MILWAUKEE, the alarmists already
are beginning to wonder if SPAIN, who
celebrates his 41St birthday this month";
hasn't just about had it as a super ace.
The mighty southpaw didn't have good
spring in Florida. He was we'll hit in the
exhibitions although the bona fide baseball
people are going to need much more
evidence than what's on hand to believe
that Warren is over the hill.
AS Manager Johnny Keane of the
Cardinals SaiG one day, running over the
various pennant threats, Its mistake to
assume that aye is catching up with SPAIN.
We've been doing it for years and the guy
still wins 20 or more games every season y
On opening day of last year, it may be
remembered. there were some alarmistS
who read significance into Whitley Ford's
losing debut. Whitley, who had only posted
a 1873 record in 1860, was beaten by the
Twins. AS it turned out, Ford lost only
three more games the rest of the season anC
finished with his top career record, 25-4.
Ford wasn't any better the other day
than in his 81 debut, but he was luckier
He was roughed up by the Orioles but he
