One of its members, who , prefers anonymity, says he- ser- iously doubts now that anything will come of it. At the extremes of the two fac- tions involved in the debate are the Washington Senators. who have no farm system worth mentioning, and the New York Yankees, whose farms are loaded with gifted , youngsters who will be s‘ars within a few years. The Senators, as well as other clubs which are unable to main- tain extensive player assembly lines, would like to have an un- restricted draft where all minor leaguers who are not being brought up by the parent team would be placed on the block at each winter draft meeting. As it.is now, a club such as the Yankees stands to lose only one player each winter, The “have” clubs, naturally, are fighting any such revision with claw and hoof, feeling that it vir- tually would wipe out their huge } minor league investments. Com- missioner Ford Frick was at one time reported favorable to some sort of stringent revision as an antidote for criticized aspects of the reserve clause, but is said now to have cooled off. Frank Leahy, here to announce his new job as a public relations chieftain, struck everyone with his | improved appearance and relaxed | attitude since he gave up the wracking task of coaching Notre Dame. He said he believed his most imortar t coxtri a new gimmick for getting his charges in shape and keeping them that way.

'2-7041' —— Weird Baseball Action Is Produced In Exhibitions By RIP» WATSON AP Sports Writer Baseball’s spring training games don’t count in the record books, and there are some days the boys are just as glad nobody’s keeping tabs on them, Days like yesterday, for ex- ample, when the high paid major leaguers came up with the follow- ing: Twenty-three bases on balls in one game .. . a-home run by a Cuban rookie in his first time at bat in organized baseball... a rookie .who’s played exactly 10 games in the majors installed as the Chicago, Cubs regular short- stop . . . a 3-2’ victory by Boston with a batting attack consisting of two. hits, six walks in two inn- ings and five St. Louis errors. The standings themselves are surprising enough, sith the Phila- delphia Athletics, nobody’s favorite to win the American League pen- nant, leading their league in the spring standings after a 7-5 vic- tory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. And if the Pirates had won in- stead, they’d be leading the Na- tional Leaguers on percentage thus far. The multiple bases on balls— seven below the major league rec- ond—came in Washington’s 10-9 victory over Detroit. The winning run, as you ‘might expect, was scored when Dick Marlowe walked Clyde: Vollmer with the bases load- ed and two out in the ninth inning. The Cuban rookie who made such a sensational debut was An- gelo Toledo of the Chicago White Sox,but despite his efforts Cincin- !nati ‘defeated thé Sox 5-3. Toledo had reported to his first baseball camp exactly one hour before. The new Cub shortstop is Ernie Banks, one of the first three Ne- groes. ever to represent the team. He batted .314 in a brief trial last September and is close to .500 thus far ‘this* spring. This Prompt- ed the Citbs to trade their previous shortstop; Roy.°Smalley, to Mil- waukee for pitcher Dave Cole. Gerry Staley of the Cardinals pitched six innings of one-hit, scoreless ball: against Boston, but the effort went for nothing when “| the Red’ Sox combined their second hit of the ‘game, with‘ six walks by Tom Poholsky and five Red Bird errors. The Athletics got five good inn- ings of pitching from Bob Trice, Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, March 22, 1954 the International League’s Most Valuable Player last year, and the lead stood up despite homers by George Freese and Frank Thomas. The springtime shenani didn’t entirely hide some good o fashioned baseball, —_ however. Frankie Baumholtz, one of the Na- tional League’s better hitters (life- time average, .291), slammed two doubles and three singles in five times up in pacing an 8-2 victory for the Cubs over the Baltimore Orioles. Warren Spahn, the senior mem- ber of Milwaukee’s pitching corps, retired 14 men in succession in the course of pitching seven score- BRADENTON, trade which Fla, sent return for shortstop Roy Smalley is a break for both players. Cole, leaving a club having plenty of moundsmen, will have a better chance as a starting pitcher with Chicago. The trade enables and suffered from an elbow injury Smalley to leave Wrigley Field, | where fans have been riding him for two seasons. “We consider Cole a good pros- pect,” said Manager Phil Cavar- “With more chance to work as a member of our staff we hope his control . will improve. That’s all he may need to become a winner because he has a lot of stuff.” Braves Manager Charlie Grimm, who handled the Cubs in 1948 when Smalley arrived in Chicago, thinks ve change will be good for Smal- ye “He has all the tools,” said Grimm. “I think all he needs is the proper encouragement in a new environment. Lots of times a change of scenery is all a ball- player has to have to realize his potentialities.” Cole said he was “so tickled I don’t know what to do.” Cole, 23, a right-hander from Williamsport, Md., had an 0-1 rec- etta of the Cubs at Yuma, Ariz.| lies 10-0.

Brave, Cub Trade Break For Players (® — The ord with the Braves last year. A Milwaukee | bullpen regular, he has pitched in Braves relief pitcher Dave Cole | only 136 innings since and an undisclosed amount of cash | into the major leagues in 1950 with to the Chicago Cubs yesterday in| the Braves. he broke Smalley, 27, hit 21 homers and led the National League in field- ing in 1950, but then ran into three poor seasons. He broke an ankle in 1951. He was hit in the head in 1952. Last spring he turned an ankle. He could hardly poke his head out of the dugout last season without drawing boos from Chicago fans. The principal surprise in the trade was that Cavaretta had de- cided to depend upon Ernie Banks, a 22-year-old Negro rookie, to han- dle the Cubs’ shortstop duties, | Banks’ only major league experi- ence was in the 10 games he played with the Cubs at the close of the 1953 season.
