TEMPLE, Texas. — 1 Organized
baseball and the Mexican League
now are on ‘‘very cordial terms,’’
says Dr. Eduardo Quijano Pit
man, president of the circuit in|
the Mud of manana. 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. Dr. Quijan
thinks this matter cap' |
