J Dr. Quijano Pitman also owns the St. Luis Potosi club in the Mexican League.* He stopped off in Temple for a medical check-up before return ing to Mexico. He recently cob* ferred with Baseball Commission er A. B. Chandler and George Trautman, head of the minor leagues. Organized baseball hafc agreed to respect our contracts and re serve lists," he said, ‘‘add we will respect theirs." Dr. Quijano Pitman and Annuar Canavati, another cilub owner, came to this country in an effort to make a ‘‘peace pact” with or ganized baseball. The need for an understanding became, apparent last winter when Mexican League players began ‘‘jumping" to or ganized baseball in the same way the major leaguers jumped to Mexico in 1946.: ! i i ‘‘Under our nqw agreement," Dr. Quijano Pitman said, “we will be perfectly willing to sell players to teams in organized baseball. I don’t think -there will be any more contract violations on either *ide;’’ Speakiqg of the five-yettr ban Chandler slapped pn organized ball'players who jumped to Mex ico, D\ Quijano Pitman said that "if Max\Lahier, Fred Martin and Danny Gnrdella hadn’U Glad those law sultM, they could get back in organized ban. Now there'* rioi chance whatever for the ban to be lifted.’’ ‘ V The Mexican League finally is coming into its own as a money making proposition. «a/believes. He pointed out that although for mer President Jorge PasquH alone loat two and a half million on his baseball venturas, the Mex ican people are very fond of tl sport and the attendance is largd. “We also have an eight-team league- now instead of alx teams," keen, with three team# tied for the lead right now." Dr. Quijano Pitman said Chan- i dler was especially i one, phase of Mexican anpes. That is an whereby 55 per cent of gross receipts goes int fund to be divided cq the eight clubs. The toward the Welfare of Dr. Quijano Pitman sa smaller cities like N and San Luis Potpsi ori terms with Mexico (! presently is .supporting; t successfully. He said his next 1 country [probably wou Cuban player)}, j Un( organized baseball rul who jumped to-and aijfc the Mexican League, lowed to play winter own country.
