O'Malley Ravine Still Ditch
As Long L.A. Row Continues
BY HARRY GRAYSON
Newspaper Enterprise Sports Editor
LOS ANGELES—(NEA)—Chavez Ravine is a desolate piece of
wasteland just a mile from downtown Los Angeles.
It is all hills and hollows, cluttered with tin cans, broken-down
automobile tires and gopher holes. A carved-out hillside, looking
faintly like a giant armchair, sits in the middle. Few people even
know how to get into the place.
Yet within the last three years Chavez Ravine has become
the most-talked-about bit of real estate in America, alternately
damned and praised as a civic blight and a future sportsmen’s
paradise. All because the Dodgers want to build a ball park
within the confines of its 500 acres.
The ensuing maze of legal maneuvers, hearings, referendums,
evictions, suits, rulings and appeals and bitter accusations and. poli-
tical charges combined to provide a situation unparalleled in south-
ern California history. The end is not in sight.
THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE, Owner Walter O’Malley of the
Dodgers, throws up his hands when asked when the new park will
be ready.
“I can no longer guess,” he says. *Tt all depends on our dedi-
cated opponents. All I know is that when the way Is clear we
can put up a park in 18 months. I see no possibility of getting
into it before some time in 1962.
“We have two million dollars worth of heavy equipment sitting
there doing nothing until we get another go-ahead.”
O’Malley hoped that would come by June 1, but now it doesn’t
appear likely.
THOUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION a few days ago
backed its director, John Roberts, on an okay of the tentative tract
map, the dedicated opponents are expected to file an appeal to the
city council. That could take another month. And if the dedicated
opponents lose that one, they have 90 days, if they choose, to open
court proceedings challenging council approval.
“Every delay sends costs up,” says O’Malley. **I have only
so much money. If it isn’t enough I have to start cutting out
the luxuries. Delays have already cost me four million dollars.
Now the price tag is 16 million.
“Mayor Norris Poulson estimates the long series of legal man-
euvers, which he labels spite suits, have cost Los Angeles many
thousands of dollars and time taken by employees from, other
duties. Not to mention tax revenue from the completed park—an
estimated $700,000 lost by the two-year delay.”
APPROVAL OF THE TENTATIVE TRACT map is contingent
upon the Dodgers fulfilling 28 conditions dealing with street re-
alignment, water mains, fire hydrants, drainage, lighting, grading,
planting and similar items.
These have to be completed before the final tract map is
submitted to the city council, probably within the next four
to six months.
This thing could turn into a municipal Chessman case.
St. Paul Raps Brethren
St. Mary's Beats Thrall
Taylor Daily Press, Friday, June 3, 1960, Page 3
The standings remained the
same after the dust settled in
Senior Church League action
Thursday night.

In the first game of the twin-
bill at Sportsman’s Field’, Breth-
ren took a 2-0 lead in the third
inning. The Rev. Josef Barton

benik followed with a double,
putting Zetak on third. Zetak
scored on Albert Simcik’s sacri-
fice fly and Bubenik scored on
the same play as! the ball was
overthrown at the plate.
The Lutherans stormed right
back in the bottom of the third

Kiwanis Tripped by Optimisb 3-2,
Rotary Stores Upset Over Lions
The Taylor Little League is
approaching the half-way point
and the championship tussle be-
tween three teams continues to be
as tight as a new pair of shoes.
The Kiwanis, Optimists and Lions
are in a three way batlte with
only Rotary out of the running,
and they are making their pres-
ence felt and actually could be the
determining factor in the race.
Last night, the teams played
fruit basket turn over in the stand-
ings. In the opening game, the
Optimists trimmed the league-
leading Kiwanis 3-2 to vault from
third back into a tie with Kiwanis
for the loop lead. This left the
Lions also tied in games behind,
awaiting the outcome of the se-
cond game. The Lions could have
the lead with a win or go into
third with a loss. Rotary then up-
set the Lions 10-6 to push them
into third but only a half game
behind the leaders. The Lions and
Rotary have a tie game from
early in the season and this will
be made up if it influences the
championship. Tuesday night will
bring the first half play to a close
and anyone of the three can still
take all the marbles.
Bobby Clark was the big noise
for the Optimists as they climbed
back up the summit alongside the
Kiwanis. He hurled three hit bail
and struck-out ten while walking
only three. In addition, he hom-
ered for the winning run with the
score tied. Billy Anderson started
on the mound for the Kiwanis and
was relieved by Mike Seale. To-
gether they allowed three runs
on five hits, walked three and
whiffed nine.
The Optimists took a first in-
ning lead when David Naivar was
safe on an error and came home
on Allen Scruggs’ two bagger. Ki-
wanis tied it up in the second
when Mike Seale doubled and
scored on Bruce Barron’s single.
Kiwanis went ahead by one in the
top of the third when Louie Ru-
bino was safe on a boot, went to
second on a ground out and scored
as Barron was safe on an error
The eventual winners came back
to even the count in the bottom
half. Naivar walked and moved
to second on Konarek’s infielder.
Scruggs then walked to load the
bases. Harrison scored Naivar as
the play got Konarek at third and
then Seale pitched his way out of
a jam by getting the last two outs
apd leaving the bases loaded. He
blasted one high over the left
field fence and that was the ball
game.
The Kiwanis made a mild threat
in the sixth as Barron singled and
was forced at second by Jenkins.
Jenkins was out stealing second
and Billy Anderson popped a high
one down the right field foul line
that Harrison made a nice running
catch on in foul territory to end
the game.
Rotary then spoiled the Lions
chances of moving into first place
as they won their first game of
the year. They had to beat off a
terrific rally by the Lions to fin-
ally win 10-6.
Pete Zimmerhanzel pitched the
win as he gave up six runs on
five hits, walked five and struck-
out eleven and left nine big Lions
stranded on base. Benny Macuk
was the loser as he allowed ten
runs on twelve hits, walked only
one and whiffed two. He left five
runners stranded.
Dennis Seale, the ten year old
shortstop for the Rotary, was the
leading stick man as he got three
hits, a single and a brace of
doubles. Woodie Baker and Les
ter Shiller had home runs for the
winners.
The Lions right fielder Ken
Bowen gave the large crowd a
fine fielding gem to chew on in
the third inning. Jim Delvidge
blasted a long fly between right
and center field. Bowen raced
hard for the ball and backhanded
it with a gloved hand catch just
as it was about to pop through for
at least a double.

After two scoreless innings, the
Rotary jumped out to a three
nothing lead. Valdez was safe on
an error, Baker singled and
Reichenbach reached on an mis-
cue. Zimmerhanzel singled and
Seale doubled for the three tallies.
They came back in the fourth for
what appeared to be a safe lead
by marking up four. Leonard sing-
led and Baker’ was safe on an
error as Leonard scored. Lester
Shiller then parked a home run.
The Lions roared back in the
fourth with five runs. Pospisil
singled, Peters was on by an er-
ror and Adamek walked. Fitzger-
ald had a fielders’ choice. Bow-
en walked and Butch Lee doubled
in two runs. Bice walked and
Macuk doubled three more home.
They pulled up to within one run
in the fifth as Cain singled, moved
on outs and came in on Lee’s hit.
Rotary put the game out of
reach in the top of six when Bak-
er homered with Delvidge on
base. Shiller singled, as did Zim-
merhanzel and Seale doubled the
run in for the total of 10-6 for the
Rotary.
Phillies' Pitcher
Asks for Release
After Stiff Fine
PHILADELPHIA UP) — Pitcher
Jack Meyer, charging the Phila-
delphia Phillies kicked him when
he was down by fining him 15
days’ pay or “more than $1,000”
for a fracas, has asked for his
outright release to join some other
club.
In reply to Meyer’s request.
General Manager John Quinn said
Thursday night: “We’re not even
entertaining that.”
Meyer, 28, the winningest pitch-
er on the Phillies roster thus far
with a 3-1 mark, said he expected
to be fined for the fracas last
Saturday night in a Pittsburgh
hotel room but he was angry over
what he called the excessive
amount.
It was one of the largest fines
in modem day baseball, according
to Meyer’s figuring.
Neither Meyer nor Quinn woiuld
say just what happened or who
was involved.
