One of the National league s most feared sluggers from1952 through 1957, Snider hit Only 15 homers and knocked in only58 runs in 106 games last season. It was a sad Homecoming for Snider one of the few dodger who openly applauded the team s Transfer from Brooklyn to los an Geles.

Morrow to pass up further indoor running Dallas a olympic sprint Champion Bobby Morrow does not plan to do any More competing indoors. Instead he has mapped a bus schedule outdoors this year aiming at a return to the olympic tried two indoor meets and disliked both. I said after running in Washington that i did t like indoor races but i was already committed to the millrose games in new Yorktee next weekend said Morrow. Running on the boards and the Quick stops Are hard on your legs. There s no give in the boards like there is in a cinder track outdoors. There s no place to warm re always dodging people. There s lots of smoke Morrow also is shooting for the National aau in june. The meet with Russia at Philadelphia in july and the pan american games at Chicago in August. He plans another outdoor Campaign next year hoping to Climax it with a trip to Rome to defend his olympic 100 and 200-meter titles. Come under the Structure of organized baseball and with the Aid and guidance of the american and National leagues the former car Dinal and Brooklyn dodger official declared. Mentioning no names Rickey said there were enough men with Money who would be glad to joining a third major league venture. Rickey gave a list of cities which could be considered for franchises in the third major Loop and Spidall have baseball Parks and popu lations comparable with facilities available when the National league was formed in 1900. Lists cities without new York there could t be a third major league he said. Rickey listed these cities already for major league baseball Montreal Toronto Buffalo Miami. Atlanta new Orleans Bir Mingham. Houston Denver for Worth Dallas. San Diego. Minne Apolis is. Paul Portland an Seattle. He specifically mentioned Buffalo As being Ripe for the majors. Go take a look at the has a drawing area of six million people. I realize that organized base Ball would have an embarrassing approach to the third major league problem because of its exclusive Ness. If the new league was limited to eight or 12 clubs someone would have to be left two team cities he also said that cities with Large populations such As los an Geles Detroit and san Francisco could support two teams but cautioned that he was t advocating that move. It would take about three year for a team in a third major league to be ready for play in a world series against National and Amer ican league teams. The three leagues would play around Robin world series and would run at least 10 games. Thin what that would mean Money Wise at the Gate the television income and increased share for the play ers. A third major league would come under All the present rules of the majors. Clubs would have immediate rights to the draft to sign players As free agents or buy players from the present two is a Challenge to the two major leagues that baseball continue As the National game. I Don t think they Are living up tit.
