Trail in - J ' . By "WHITNEY MARTIN ' ' Special fThe Statesman NEW YORK. Sept.. 11-Larry MacPhail has purchased a pen nant (well, maybe) for Brooklyn this year by shopping around at the better places and not . quib bling over price, but the days When he must resort to this free handed spending are numbered. From here on the Dodgers are going to . pluck the peaches t from their own trees. It's taken about three-years to do it, but MacPhail now has his minor league or chards to the producing stage. . and about 10 young men are rea dy to make the jump to the big show next year.- When MacPhail came to j - Brooklyn the Dodgers had a farm system which could be called a farm system only with . poetic license. One minor lea . cue club was owned, and there were working agreements with two or three others. The first year he didn't do mucli about the farms, as it was a tough enough job doing some thing about Brooklyn.: When fi nally he did get a chance to look around, he hired a couple of in dustrious young fellows, began adding 'a club here and a club there, and presto! before anyone knew it he had a smooth-functioning farm organization which today includes outright ownership of six minor clubs and agree- ments with a half-dozen more. Five of his clubs won pennants this year, three finished second, . two finished third, and two fifth. The organization goes beyond the minor leagues, however. It starts right on the sandlots. This summer about 1600 young : fellows attended the regular tryouts at Ebbets field, and starting September 20 at Wi chita, Kas series of five baseball schools will be held. The troupe, with the grinning Mickey ' C McConnel as advance man and with Scouts Ted Mc Grew, Andy High, Tom Green wade and Jake Pitler in active charge,, then will , move . to Wa co, Tex., thence to Phoenix, Ariz., and San Mateo and Long Beach, Calif. Fifteen lads uncovered at simi lar schools last year still are in the Brooklyn organization, which shows that MacPhail has material lined up for -years to come through this perpetual motion system. The Dodgers have a fine ball club right now, but it isn't en tirely a y ung team. The Whit Wyatts and Dolph Camillis and Joe Medwicks are good, but they have passed the point where they will get better. That's where. the farms come In. Already MacPhil has brought i in one potential replacement in young Ed Albosta from Durham. Montreal, the Dodgers' double "A" entry,' is peppered with lads ready to move up. Chet Kehn and Ed Head, pitchers; Jack .Graham, an outfielder, - and Shortstop Claude - Corbitt, with possibly Al Sherer, pitcher, may . be in the Dodger camp next spring, and two other Infielders, Don Ross ' and Roy Hughes, are being eyed by" other major clubs. Durham, which contributed Albosta, has another candidate in a left-hand-' ed pitcher named Kraus. ' If , there's anyone the Dodgers" could use he is a left-handed pitcher. circuit.

Won't Corral Longhorns This Season By HAROLD V. BATLUT It wouldn't require a swami to pick the favorite as seven Southwest conference football squads move toward the start of this campaign.
