Realignment of Minors
May Ease Money Pains
By The Associated Press
Every year you hear about re
alignment of baseball leagues.
Nothing ever is done about it ex
cept talk.
Clubs go on folding up because
there is insufficient attendance to
support them. The major trouble
comes from placing clubs of dif
ferent potentialities in the same
league.
Realignment should be set up on
the basis of grouping cities by
their drawing power.
Hal Sayles, president of the
"West Texas-New Mexico and Long
horn Leagues, is convinced that re
duction of travel is not the key to
the problem — that the cities do
not have to be close together to
make a strong league.
While a couple of towns close
together might have a, natural riv
alry that would mean good crowds
when these two play, they wouldn’t
have natural rivalries with other
clubs in the league, so in the over
all, the league would suffer.
The West Texas-New Mexico
and Longhorn Leagues both are
class C. Sale of players is the life
of a ball club. If there is any
profit it usually comes from that.
Leagues of like classification
aren’t going to sell players to each
other. The solution is for one lea
gue to be of lower classification
where more rookies are used. This
league should take in the towns
with the smallest potential draw.

TECHNICOLOR
But any league should govern it
self according to its potential. It
should take steps to live within its
income. A league that doesn’t draw
heavily must think about develop
ment of ball players that will bring
revenue.
The West Texas - New Mexico
League is a good example. There
have been more scouts in this lea
gue’s stands this year than in the
past three or four put together.
The big reason is that the club
owners reduced the player classi
fication rules from 10 veterans and
only two required rookies in 1951
to a figure of five veterans and five
rookies in 1953.
The rookies don’t draw high sal
aries. They also can be sold at
good prices. The veterans can’t
be sold.
Force Realignment
Happenings in the Longhorn and
West Texas-New Mexico Leagues
this year are going to force a re
alignment. Lamesa, which does not
have the potential drawing power
of Odessa or San Angelo, tried to
play in the Longhorn League.
The club lost Harold Webb $7,500
in less than two months. The fran
chise was moved to Winters-Bal-
linger and couldn’t draw there
either. So it folded.
There are other clubs in this
league that are losing money. It
is the same in the West Texas-
New Mexico League.
It appears here the solution to
the problem is forming a class D
league with plenty of rookies so
the cost won’t be excessive and of
grouping the cities of like poten-
tialties. The cities with class C
potentials could be grouped in a
class C league.

Player List
All College Station Recreation
Council softball games will begin
this summer at 5:45 p.m. on desig
nated diamonds. The games will
be played oh Wednesdays and Fri
days.
The following is a roster of the
four teams in the League.
Indians
Ray Jarvi, Ed Andrew, Curtiss
Holland, Barney Welch, Bryon An
drews, Bob Butler, John Denison,
Hank Mills, F. Fisher, W. Fisher,
M. W. Deason, and Taylor Wilkins.
Tigers
K. A. Manning (mgr.), Bob Ja
cobs, George Johnston, John Lyons,
John Lyons Jr., Lee Richai-dson,
Calvin Janek, Bill Coonei - , Spike
White, Bill Blakely, and Dee Ku-
tach.
Yankees
Lucian Morgan, Ed Garner
(mgr.), Curtess Gray, Ralph Ter
ry, David Bonnen, Bill Hensel, Pin-
key Cooner, Dalton Fah'doth, Lar
ry Hayes, Dickie Dowell, J. C. Ger
ald, and Freddie Walters.
White Sox
Homer Adams (mgr.), George
Carroll, J. B. Carroll, John Floyd,
Bud Denton, Hoss Schaffer, John
Manther, K. G. Seymour, Jim
Wood, Bill Atkins, E. C. Bashaw,
and Ray Perryman.
Or, better still, why not just
take the best clubs of both leagues
and put them together in one class
C league ? A ten-club league
would be quite all right.
Amarillo, Abilene, San Angelo,
Odessa, Lubbock, Albuquerque,
Carlsbad and Midland would seem
to be a very good league.
Eisenhower
(Cont. From Page 1)
“A total struggle—let us never
forget it—calls for a total defense.
As there is no weapon too small—
no arena too remote—to be ignor
ed, so there is no free nation too
humble to be forgotten.
“All of us have learned—first
from the onslaught of Nazi aggi-es-
sion, then from Communist aggres
sion—that all free nations. must
stand together, or they shall fall
separately. Again and again we
must remind ourselves that this is
a matter not only of politiral prin
ciple but of economic security.”
In hitting back at critics of re
duced military spending, especially
for the Air Force, the President
I’eiterated that the free world lives
“not in an instant of peril but in
an age of peril—a time of tension
and watchfulness.”
That kind of situation, he add
ed, calls for a carefully-planned
and steadfastly - maintained de
fense.
“It cannot be a thing of frenzies
and alarms,” he declared.
“It must be a thing of thought
and order and efficiency.
“Precisely such a defense is now
being built for our country.”
Mr. Eisenhower said that by the
middle of next year the Air Force
will have 114 wings, and added
that the Navy and Maidne air arms
alone will total almost 10,000
planes.
All this — I believe — promises
both powerful air defense and a
no less powerful deterrent to any
would-be aggressor,” the President
said.
Reasonable defense posture, he
added, “is not won by juggling
magic numbers.” He said thexe is
no such thing as maximum securi
ty short of total mobilization.
And total mobilization under
present conditions, he declaimed,
would mean “all the gi-im para
phernalia of the gai’idson state,”
which in turn would “imperil the
very liberties we ax-e striving to
defend.”
In i-ejecting the “all-out” theox-y
of military defense, Mi - . Eisenhow
er also criticized the “foxti'ess”
theory as “equally misleading and
dangerous.”
He said the ‘stx'ongest nation in
the woi'ld—our country” — cannot
stand aloxxe.
En x-oute to -the auditoi'ium,
where he spoke to an enthusiastic,
cheei’ing cx - owd of 3,000 Jaycees
and their wives, the President stop
ped at the Swedish Amexdcan Insti
tute for lunch with Minnesota Re
publican leaders.
Among those present were Gov.
C. Elmer Axxdex-spn and Rep. Wal
ter Judd of Minneapolis.
At the auditorium Mr. Eisen
hower was gx-eeted by prolonged
cheei’s and applause. At least a
dozen times during his speech he
was interi-upted by loud cheex-s.

Each man is free to decide which hand

God, and their way through life is barren
and pointless.
But with the help of the Church, you can
find the right path. By attending its serv

through life can be made straight and
happy. Take the Hand of God, and you need
never fear stern Justice.
THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
