The chief rlmor or reason that

president of the Council of Clubs,
when announcing the appoint

Mrs. Viola Kanatz, assistant di-
rector of SCAD, gave enthusiast

that civic groups like the Council
Of Clubs could aid tremendously
in reducing procedural difficult

with the Commission.
The Council of Clubs was fore

Sad Sum" Jones
Gets Chance With

BY BRAD PYE. .R

Los Angeles (ANP) - Veteran
rig hth ander Sam Jones, who
pitched for Bill Rigney when the
latter managed the Giants, re-
ported to the Los Angeles Angels
training camp at Palm Springs,
Calf, starting Tuesday, Feb. IL.
Jones, a 37-year-old highlander,
is a free agent who was released
by the Detroit Tigers at the end
Of last season.
Jones is the seventh non-roster
pitcher to be invited to the An
gels camp. He joins Bob Botz, Art
Fowler, Ramon Hernandez, Bob
Leopold, Bill Saunders and Ed
Thomas. The catchers are Tim
Faris and Jack Hiatt. Duncan
Campbell Is the sole non-roster in
fielder coming to camp.
At the same time, GIN Haney

youngsters which now gives the
Angels 26 men in the fold. They
are infielders Gene Leek and Ernie
Foil, catcher Ed Kirkpatrick, first
baseman Charley Dees, righthand-
ed pitcher Bobby Darwin and out
fielder Terry Banderas.
Jones had a "a record in 80
games for the Tigers last year.
Those two wins gave him exactly
100 for his Major League career.
He enjoyed the best year of his
career under Rigney in 1859, when
he had a 21-15 record with a
league-leading 2.s2 ERA. Rigney
says:
Jones could be a most valuable
addition to this ball club if he
still shows he can pitch. We all
know he has one of the finest
curve balls in the game. Sam will
get every opportunity to make this
club"
Jones pitched a no-hit, no-run
game against the Pittsburgh
Pirates on May IL, 1865 and then
hurled a Timing classic against
the st. Louis Cardinals Sept. 26,'
1859. That was the year he was
named the outstanding pitcher in
the National League by The Sport

He was stricken with a serious
