With Players in New Cities

leagues are switching the script
for this year’s openers. The clubs

year’s starters will be manning the
same battle stations when the
baseball season gets under way
with two special openers Thursday
and a seven-game schedule in Fri
day.

players have decided to stay home
and play the market. Most of
them merely shifted uniforms dur

The closest thing to standpat
lineups will be offered by the New
York Yankees and the Chicago
White Sox, who did no swapping.
Once again the Yankees and Mil

the MSC committee is 182, while in
the Bryan “Mix and Match” and
the “Bryan All-Star” leagues he
holds 192 aixd 187 averages, re

interest in the game began on the
Aggie campus approximately five
years ago. He bowled his first
game in the YMCA building while
hex-e visiting his brother, J. Ed

In Janxiary, 1956, after 18 league
games, he had a 115 average. From
