Ease up on College raids sex Yankee tells majors Philadelphia up the College campuses a Mecca for big league scouts bearing Valise Ful of Bonus Money could become better source of pro baseball Talen if the major leagues would jus ease up their mad scramble. That s the opinion of Glenn Kil linger an old pro who is now athletic director of West Chester state teachers College. He was astar football player at Penn state and a baseball player in the Newyork Yankee Chain. Killinger whose Small College teams Are the Scourge of their class says the campuses will produce Superior pro prospects if the collegians could get better coaching and were left alone by the major leagues to Complete their four year educations. He got a sound second to his motion from Dick Groat of the Pitts Burgh a rates an off the Campus to the majors Ball player who recommended a longer College baseball schedule with the right to play summer semipro Ball if College Allisn t carried through the open months could Aid 3d league they re wondering whether there la be enough players for third major league Killinger note. I think College baseball would be a Good source Rand they can be developed in College wit the right thinking and the right coaching. What s needed is More professional baseball coaching at the col lege level. I mean coaching by players with pro experience. As matters Are now in any number of Small colleges the coach is just someone off the faculty with no experience at All. How can they do it he asked. In baseball or in football the10-year Man picks up a lot of savvy. When he s in the pro game for 20 years he s pretty smart and knows his Way around Kil linger pointed out. A no tampering Rule by the Mathewson shrine planned new York up a four Man committee from Factoryville pa.,met with based Al commissioner Ford Frick to discuss a proposed memorial to Christy Mathewson. Major leagues would be a great help the sex Yankee said. Let them pass a Rule which would permit a boy to Complete four years of College baseball wit no signing and it would be a great help. College Ball then could be a source of major league material. Leave them in school a Little longer and you la get a bet Ter player Killinger said. Groat a listener added he thought the College Ball player would get a lot further with a longer season. Letting the boys play sem Proball would help a lot and would be Good experience for them Groat said. The colleges should keep their schedules going All summer Long or let the boys go into the semipro Type of Ball he added. Plications for major league status Frick said. The committee will meet on re quest with promoters of the third league Frick indicated and presumably the initiative for such meetings will rest with the third league group headed by William Shea new York. Both the american and National leagues reaffirmed their previous position in favor of open inter league trading without waivers from nov. 21 to dec. 15 this unrestricted trading plan was approved for a one year trial period at the Winter meetings but was voted upon for a second Timeon request of Frick. Frick said he did not interpret the vote in favor of the proposal and against his wishes As a vote of no Confidence and said that the presidents of both leagues also approved of the Rule. Frick was authorized to permit each team to put More than the present limit of two players on the disabled list upon establishment that there Are medical reasons for the disability. The change was adopted to take care of such cases As those of red schoendienst Androy Campanella. Both out for extended periods of More than one season due to illness or Accident. 60-Day period men placed on the disabled list under this provision would be required to remain on the list for a60-Day period against the current minimum of 30 Days but would be entitled to continued credits of seniority for the pension program. The leagues approved a formula covering allocations of Aid to minor league teams and named Bill de Witt to authorize the clubs to draw on the fund depending on their need. Money for the fund will come from the world series and television payments and there willbe no additional assessment on the clubs. Both leagues also announced network fall Winter to program of videotape of 26 games played this year. Promoters of the program will tape games for the balance of the season and select 26 most interesting and exciting for vide display. Each will be edited to one hour running time and american and National league games will be shown on alternate weeks. Presumably this telecast will compete with a program announced previously to show on video tap games to be played this year in the cuban Winter league.

Satch is barnstorming with semipro outfit called the cuban giants. The giants have already played 53 games this year and Satch has played in All but two or three. The group has 120 slated. For Satch it s a business but not a Happy one. He would rather be in the major leagues where he tasted briefly some of the glory that might have been his in the1920s and 30s.
