AN FRANCISCO, January 11. —Roaming the left side of the San Francisco Seals’ in- field is a big, black-haired youngster, businesslike, efficient, the best shortstop in the minor leagues. A half dozen boys, most of them about 16, cluster around the dugout stairs, waiting for the final putout. With the last play the shortstop lets out an undignified whoop and races for them. They all troop off together to play catch. Theyre his chums. The shortstop is Frank Crosetti, B RKAXK By the Associated Press.

The plan for “pool purchasing.” one of the many the committee has before it, was deemed impracticable by the equipment men, who suggested that the saving effected would not justify the engendering of the ill will of home- town merchants. Each city with a minor league base ball team, the equipment men pointed out, has & sporting goods store, and if the club does not patronize the home- town merchant, it cannot expect pat ronage and support from the home town merchant The committee listened to all sugges- tions, but made no decision. It went about its tasks with an open mind and planned to continue to assemble data upon which it will base a report to the National Association of Minor League Professional Clubs. Yesterday's session was the first of a series to be held throughout the country. An important item of today’s calendar was the quéstion of employing a full- time organizer to form new minor leagues. The number of small leagues has dwindled considerably within the last few years, and it was regarded as probable that the committee would take some steps today to offset the decline. Although club owners had been asked to name their choice for the organizer position, no one was wominated and it was regarded as & near certainty that Joe Carr, former president of the Co- Jumbus club of the American Associa- tion and & member of the committee of five, could have the job if he cared for it. | Branch Rickey, vice president and general manager of the St. Louis Ca:- dinals; Billy Evans, general manager of the Cleveland Indians, and Ted Car- | penter, chief of the International League's umpire staff, attended yester- day’s sessions W.

BURNS AND BASHARA IN SUBSTITUTE BOUT Braunstein, Hurt, Forced Out of Semi-final With Brown on Alexandria Card. Because of a lip injury suffered in a recent fight, Sammy Braunstein of ‘Washington, has been forced to with- draw from his scheduled eight-round boxing match with Buster Brown of Baltimore, listed as the semi-final to the Midget Wolgast-Billy Landers headliner tomorrow night at Portner's Arena, in Alexandria. Braunstein sus- tained his injury in his losing fight | with Kid Groves last Tuesday night. A substitute bout has been arranged between Bobby Burns of Baltimore and Tommy Bashara of Norfolk. Braunstein and Brown will meet either next week or the week after, de- pending upon how soon Braunstein's lip heals. Burns and Bashara both have shown class. The former did well in battling Sailor McKenna to a draw several weeks at Alexandria, and Bashara has knocked out Mickey Morley, Navy stal- wart, and fought Phil Raymond, Bal- timore lightweight, to a draw, in addi- tion to other first-rate performances. Wolgast, flyweight champ, is_the first titleholder to appear before a box- ing audience in this immediate section in years, and the Alexandria Day Nur- sery Athletic Association has guaran- teed him a good sum.

It all seems like a golden dream to the voungster who | started playing bush league ball here only five years ago. NTIL Frank came along no mem- ber of the Crosetti family had ever seen a base ball game. But at 16 he caught on with one of the teams in the San Francisco Winter League. His team played in the park of the Seals. One good look and the Seals grabbed him. At 17 he was in the regular line- up at third base. Another year and he was the regular shortstop. The Yankees bought him in 1930, and left him here for another year of experi- ence. Crosetti is right handed, good look- ing, modest, weighs 175 pounds, and has the nerve of a highwayman at the | plate. He never has hit less than .300. |~ Base ball held for him a greater lure | than higher education. But the laws of | California compel school attendance | until 18. So the club owners had to get special permission for Frank to play | ball, | J7OR & year he went to school part | I "time, ‘playing ball in the day, lug- ging books at night.

He has made his |own deals and never argued about trifies. He has never made an unrea- sonable demand, never has had a re- quest turned down. Frank has been the “baby” of the Seals since joining the club. He has | never quarreled with a teammate, never | tried to alibi an error. The few times he talked back to umpires found him trot- ting around later to apologize, even though every one concerned knew he had been right in the first place. E weighed only 135 pounds coming into the Pacafic Coast League and s0 he was a milk-fed baby. One of his daily practices the first year consisted of drinking a quart of milk a day. The system was so successful that the Seals did the same thing to build up Vernon Gomez, and now Ver- | non is the Yankees’ star left hander. He has a regular routine during the off season.

This grew out of the non-qualifi- ‘L‘Mlon of Don Moe in the Pacific North- west last year, when Moe, a member of the 1930 Walker Cup team and admit- tedly one of the finest amateurs in the world, failed to qualify in a district crowded with strong _players, but awarded only two qualification places. | The U. S. G. A. made the following de- cision to cover these cases: “The basis of allocayng places to each qualifying district mathematically, as heretofore, will be followed in principle. The com- mittee will reserve the right, however, to vary the allocation in every district, | based upon the entries and the playing strength of the district.” ROBERT MCcLEAN, president of the Maryland State Golf Association, presented the name of the Chevy Chase Club as & candidate for the sectional qualification rounds in the Middle Atlantic section. The District Golf Association already has submitted a bid for the sectional qualification | rounds in favor of the Columbia Country | Club, but there will be no conflict on | this matter. The District association | wants the sectional rounds for both the open and amateur championships in this section of the country held near Washington and put in the name of Columbia to have something concrete | before the national body. The District association is understood to feel that either Columbia or Chevy Chase would be satisfactory for the sectional rounds | for the amateur championship.
