NEW YORK flu Sports enjoyed
another successful year in 1954.
Business boomed at the box office
and for shfer drama on the play

equal the one just past.
And for 1955, the sports world
looked ahead optimistically. Only
minor'league baseball appeared
headed for trouble, but that is
nothing new for the situation with
the minors has grown worse evry
year si.nce 1949.
Except for the minors, another

the boom vear right after the

have lived on borrowed time this
season but it topped the 35 other
National Baseball Association
loops with a total paid attendance
of 1,791,014. .
In the meantime, busy Bill
Veeck worked to bring major
league baseball to Los Angeles
while San Francisco passed a
five million dollar bond issue to
build a bit? league park two
faciors which might send the open
circuit into a tailspin.
Veeck tabs the majors a "mor
tal cinch" to come t L.A. if a
stadium is waiting but the idea
is to get a suitable one. The city
seems a litUe chilly towayi pass
ing a bond issue.
The jond issue as passed by
the San Francisco electorate has
a oy twist no work will start
on a park until a major league
franchise is assured.

NEW YORK m Ken Loeffler

Loeffler rates Goia as "a real old
fashioned type of kid who works
hard and is extremely modest."
The difficulty is in trying to keep
emotional balance on his
teaTn.
It is a chore which this year
has aggravated Locffler's ulcers
and produced, in succession,
It's a lot of trouble, maintain

Handling a team with a star of
such proportions requires more
than a mere human touch, Loef

"It's harder to. coach a team
like this one with Gola than it is
just an ordinary team," the har
