Stasey ought to know. His Big |j Spring club is front-running the Longhorn League for the third straight season. And as usual, every player on his club except himself is a young Cuban. Big Spring’s players come from Joe Cambria’ veteran scout of the Washington Senators. Cambria is co-owner of the Havana club in the Florida International League, kd but he sends few players here on option. He signs most of the rookies he finds on the island to contract forms of other clubs—! Big Spring, for instance. At the end of the season he may claim any of the players he wishes. small expense.
