Against California three weeks ago, Steen to«scd the put 00 2V Forman hung bac- lor I'k laps before moving out ahead for Majors Seeking 1st Year Players By RAY MAST Emerald Sports News Editor (Editor’s note: This is the final ,tory in a series dealing with coUcge baseball and the major league bonus.) The major leagues have their side to the bonus argument. After presenting the college baseball coach’s side of the story, repres ented by Duck coach Don Kirch, and the players’ side of the story,! represented by Robbie Snow and Ken Jensen, it seems only fair that the majors should have their side presented Spokesman for the major leagues in this scries is Mel Krause, head baseball „oacii at North Eugene High ichool and former scout for the tan Francisco Giants. ALTHOUGH MANY feel that the situation involving bonuses has hit an all time low. Krause doesn’t feel that this is the case. He said. The bonu.-i situation i.s the best it has ever been." Krause based this statement on the fact that recently the majors have passed a rule that should a player sign a bonus exceeding $J,OJO the player must be retained on the major league roster If he is not, then another major league team is eligible to draft the play er. “The majors are looking for the first year boy," said Kraus They don't want to pay him $50,000," he said, "and have the player drafted for 510,000." It was for this reason that the San Francisco Giants decided this ear to cut their staff of scouts from V. to 2U Doesn't Support Draft Krause also had his doubts as o whether or not i draft system nnilar to that of professional laskethall and football would work in baseball In these sports j major league team cannot draft the player until his college class ,ias graduated. KRAUSE SAID, “It would prob ably kill baseball if this rule was put into effect There isn't that much talent. In football and has ketball the kids can make the jump -traight from college to tlu big team Very few can do tnis in baseball. “But," he said, "the $8,000 max imum bonus rule is now some what comparable to the draft rules of these other two sports." “Arms and Legs" Krause said that scouts look for good “arms and legs" wiien looking for players to sign. Hit ting is another characteristic they look for. The player must have at least two of these three characteristics before a major league team will take a chance on signing him. REFUTATION is a great asset in getting a large bonus, said Krause Not only a reputation in baseball, but even more so in many cases, a reputation in other sports. "Tnc players get big bonuses on their reputation," said Krause. "Look at Jake Gibbs Mississippi football star who signed with the TAD • McCALL SOPH. CLASS SENATOR Yankees) and Dick Groat (Duke basketball all-America who signed w.th Pittsburgh);" he said Profit more in minors As far as comparing college baseball to lower class minor league baseball Krause felt that a player was going to pro'it more in the long run by playing HO minor league games than by play ing 40 college games. Krause raid that there was better competition in the minor leagues. The statement that the bonus was killing the minor leagues wasn’t altogether supported by Krause. He said, "Television, the constant shuffling of players and the bonus has hurt minors by. offering bonuses and getting big names the majors can become big drawing cards and help the minors financially." FINALLY, for those college players who feel that by accept ing a large bonus they will he resented by established major leaguers Krause offered a word of encouragement "I don’t feel there is much re sentment anymore/’ he said. "A few years ago maybe," said Krause, “but it’s more common now. Most ballplayers are grate ful for what baseball has given them.” More girls are needed to bow1 in Tuesday night’s mixed foursome league on the SU lanes. Bowling averages are un important.
