Major Loop Club Owners
To Draft New Bonus Rule
Philadelphia (U.R) The hon
eymoon apparently is over for
.baseball's bonus babies who
have been getting as much to
sign a contract as many tried
and true veterans get for playing
the game half a dozen years.
The major league club owners
voted Monday to establish a new
bonus rule at the winter meet
ings in Phoenix, Ariz., next De
cember, and a special committee,
to be named by the two major
league presidents and George
Trautmann, the boss of the
minors, will draft the legislation.
"Crazy Spending"
Commissioner Ford Frick, tak
ing his firmest stand since being
named to the post last summer,
said that "something has to be
done," and pretty quickly too,
Cheney Studs

last Friday and Saturday. Hume
was pitcher in the Studs 12 to
1 Saturday triumph, allowing
four hits, walking none and
fanning five.
O'Donnall Homers
O'Donnell, a husky lad, is an
infielder, outfielder and catcher
and is said to be a good hitter.
He homered Friday and got two
hits Saturday, playing left field
and third base, respectively, dur
ing the two days.
" The youths, who have been
playing for Ft. Jones in the
Northern California circuit, will
have work here. They are ex

Tuesday, July 8, 1952
(rwi ,
about this wild and crazy spend
ing for players who may never
even get .into a big league ball
game."
It was regarded ' certain that
the club owners would give se
rious consideration to a pro
posal by Bob Carpenter, owner
of the Phillies, who recommend
ed a bonus player draft, similar
to the one in effect in the Na
tional Football league.
"I always have been in favor
of bonuses, but some of these
guys are getting too rough for
me this year, the way they're
tossing money around," Carpen
ter said. "Some of them don't
even get started until they're of
fering the kids $50,000."
Proviso Ruled Out
Under the Carpenter plan, the
last place clubs in each major
league would get first crack at
any of the so-called "hot shot"
kids available from high school
and college campuses and the
nation's sand lots.
The American league, in its
separate session, ruled out the
suspended-game proviso which
had been in effect since the start
of this season only. Hereafter,
all games called by curfew will
revert to the last complete in
ning and will not be hung on
the calendar for several weeks
until the teams meet again be
fore being cpmpleted.

Punches With Might
. The Cuban champ had been
rated a comparatively light pun
cher because of only 24 pre
vious knockouts in 98 profes
sional fights.
He let the terrifically aggres
sive 21-year-old Philadelphia Ne
gro force the fighting- in every
round, and 1 he set himself to
punch with all his might when
ever he thought he saw an op
ening. The big opening came in the
10th round, when he landed a
crushing left hook on the jaw
of the challenger who had been
guarding chiefly against rights.
Turner's knees buckled and he
lurched about the ring under a
bombardment, but in the last
30 seconds Turner came storm
ing back.
Turner Staggered
The game youngster came out
fighting in the 11th. Gavilan
set himself for every punch.
Again he staggered the chall
enger with a left hook to the
chin, followed by a right smash
to the same target. He battered
the youngster into the ropes and
there blasted him with 13 right
and left hooks to the head. The
upper rope was under Turner's
right armpit and he appeared
unable to fall.
Referee Pete Tomasco then
halted the bout to prevent Turn
er's suffering serious injury.
George Katz, manager of Turn
er, complained bitterly because
the referee ad intervened when
only 13 seconds remained in the
round.
Gavilan, scaling 146 pounds
to Turner's i44Vz, was unable to
score a knockdown, but the ring
ropes certainly robbed him of
one in the 11th session.
