sociated Press Sports Writer
le Texas League, with 25 years
0 ,before reaching the century
[, opens the baseball campaign
ist a week.
le Texas Leagme is one of the
rels of sport. While leagues
more size and resources have
id out, this tight little organi-
fon has plowed ahead.
| is only six clubs now but
jt's more than its counterpart in
iification — the Southern As-
ition — and its superior, the
irican Association, can boast,
nly because the Southern and
mean Association are no more.
ALLAS, Fort Worth and Hous-
were cornerstones of the old
fas League but they got ambi-
|s and moved into a higher clas-
[ation. Houston is gone, re-
fed by the Colts, a big league
lb, Dallas and Fort Worth com-
[d for a club in the American
bciation. The AA quit last year
Mas-Fort Worth now are in
farflung Pacific Coast League.
allas-Fort Worth will make the
est road trip in baseball his-
- almost 3,900 miles — when
oes to Honolulu.
doesn’t appear that the Pa-
Coast League will last much
;er. When it is gone, Dallas-
t Worth will have only the
trs to look toward unless they
ild condescend to return to the
as League, which is pretty cer-
to still be operating.
Sere were some indications last
ter that Dallas and Fort Worth
kt be back in the Texas
pie. But these cities still have
big league bug and think they
t a chance of making it if they
get some fans into the park
season. They’re putting on a
ilal campaign to sell 50,000
ets.
HE AMBITION of the Dallas-
t Worth leaders is an attend-
1 of 180,000. Back in the hal-
days of the Texas League,
IdO wouldn’t break even. Dal-
in 1949 drew 404,851. Houston
pulled in 401,383.
The Texas League clubs now
can draw 100,000 and make a neat
profit. Last season Amarillo had
52,000 and Austin 41,000, yet each
only lost a little money. Tulsa
drew 182,000, El Paso 148,000, Al
buquerque 133,000 and San An
tonio 101,000. All made money.
It was in 1958 that Dick Butler,
who has been president of the Tex
as League for the past eight years,
made the statement that the minor
leagues could not exist without be
ing subsidized by the major. He
was criticized roundly for it but
stuck to his guns and for the past
two years what he forecast has
come about.
TODAY the Texas League clubs
are operated by National League
clubs — Los Angeles for Albu
querque, Chicago for Amarillo,
Milwaukee for Austin, San Fran
cisco for El Paso, Houston for San
Antonio and St. Louis for Tulsa.
The big league club spends about
$50,000 a season on its minor
league affiliate. This consists of
all spring training expenses; all of
the manager’s salary, one set of
uniforms, all transportation dur
ing the season of players coming
on or leaving the club. The Texas
League club is responsible for on
ly $2,800 per month toward sala
ries.
The big league club gets the
benefit of development of its play
ers under a management of its
choice.
ONCE MINOR LEAGUE ball
was largely home ownership but
the majors themselves proceeded
to ruin the minor league attend
ance with their broadcasts into
minor league territory. It is no
more than right that the majors
should now pay the freight for the
operation of the minor leagues, not
many of which are left.
The Texas League expects to
have a better season than last year
and is even thinking about expand
ing to an. eight-club circuit. Last
season was the first in a long time
that there had been no change in
franchises.

A&M Fencers
Defeat Texas;
Wrestlers Tie
The A&M Fencing Club Team
%turday ended its 1963 season by
bating the University of Texas
fencers for a second time by the
same score, 11-5. Earlier, the Ag
gies twice defeated Rice Univer
sity fencers 14-2.
The Aggie wrestlers, also
coached by Russell K. Wieder, also
ended their season Saturday. They
were tied by the University of
Texas Wrestling Club team, 14-14.
This is the first time in seven
years the Longhorns have come so
close to defeating the Aggie wrest
lers.
COACH WIEDER was a busy
man, for the fencing* meet sched
uled at 2 p.m. lasted far longer
than expected, and was followed
by the wrestling bouts.
Leading the Aggie fencers was
Alvaro Restrepo with 3 bouts won
and 1 lost. Thomas Bryant Wilson
won 2 and lost 2. Other scores for
the Aggies: Clifford A. Jacobs,
2-1; Wyatt K. Anderson, 3-1; and
Eudoro Galindo, 1-0.
The Aggie wrestlers downed the
UofT grapplers 24-8 in an earlier
match and had one other victory
this season. LeToumeau Technical
Institute wrestlers, who grapple
as a varsity sport, twice defeated
the Aggies.
WINNING DECISIONS in their
bouts were these Aggie wrestlers:
Jefferson Begay, 123 pounds; Mark
Finkelstein, 147 pounds; and Jerry
Simpton, 167 pounds.
Gary Aglietti, 137 pounds, won
by a pin.
Losing decisions to Texas wrest
lers were Gary Rinder, 130 pounds;
Michael Norman, 157 pounds; Har
ley Hansen, 177 pounds; and Alex
ander Brostek, heavy weight.
honors at the Relays’ 36th running.
Because of the cold and wet
weather in Memorial Stadium Ag
gie Track Coach Charles Thomas
scratched most of the A&M en
tries in the meet. The Cadets also
took two other places in the uni
versity-college division and an
other in the open class.
Sophomore John Collins ran for
injured track co-captain George
Tedford in the mile relay, along
with R. E. Merritt, tterry Ander
son, and soph Ted Nelson. Nelson
overcame a 6-yard lead by SMU
to give the Aggies a first heat win
with 3:12,8. His was a 46.8 leg.
COLORADO took the second
heat with 3:12.2 for the mile relay
first place honors.
Ilhan Bilgutay, Herbie Camp
bell, E. L. Ener, and Earl Myers
took sixth in the four-mile relay
with a 17:49.7 time.
Ener turned in a 9:47.3 in the
3,000-meter steeplechase for sixth
place.
The Fish tracksters copped six
places in the junior college-frosh
division.
The two-mile relay team came
home in 8:05.5 for a fourth place.
Abilene Christian College won with
a 7:54.9. The Fish had fourth
places in the shot put and broad
jump.
