Minor Loop Co-Existence
Precarious After Rebuffs
By LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor n
Columbus, Ohio CU.R) Minor
league baseball's co-existence
pact with the majors was more
precarious than ever today after
a week-long convention in which
the little fellows of the game
were rebuffed at practically
every turn.
The minors found only one
friend in the big top, Walter
O'Malley, the president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, who acknowl
edged that baseball has a re
sDonsibilitv to the men who
operate franchises in the so
called "cow pasture" and "leaky
roof" parks of the nation. Q,
O'Malley came up with a gran
diose plan whereby the majors
ouldsplit a 53,000,000 televis
ion sponsorship with the minors
as a subsidy.
.The plan, which was approved
c4jr the form of a resolution at
"Jiursday's convention session,
calls for a major league televis
ion "Game of the Week" to be
Sponsored commercially.
(5 The revenue, estimated at
$3,000,000, would be split down
the middle. But here again the
minors would get only a "bone"
because by the time the $1,500,
000 was divided among 33
leagues, each with six or eight
teams, there would be only about
- $4,000 per club.
Bonus Rule Kept
Moreover, the O'Malley reso
lution called only for an investi-1
gation of the feasibility of such
a plan and said that nothing
can be done it until 1957. O
The minors were able to put
over several amendments, all of
which are certain to be defeated
when the majors act upon them
at Chicago next week. There.was
one which calls for returning

counted on rosters after 30 days
Instead of a year as at present.
The majors, already harrassed
by the bonus rule, aren't likely
to go for any additional restric-
Otions.
The minors voted in favor of
a rule to restrict radio and TV
broadcasting of major league
games into their territory and
that, also, will go by the boards,

that one down.
The bonus rule will remain in
effect because three different
amendments to change it all
were voted down by the minors.
The majors cannot change the
bonus rule without the consent
of the minors.
Pittsburgh
Gets East
Titfe Award
New York (U.R) The Sugar
Bowl game, which will match
Pittsburgh against Georgia Tech,
took on added lustre today with
the announcement that Pitt has
won the Lambert Trophy as the
"Eastern Football Champion" of
1955.
Pittsburgh, which closed with
a rush to post a final season jjec
ord of seven wins and three
losses, received the first-place
votes of 11 members of the 24
man board of selectors.
Navy would have won the
trophy if it had beat Army, many
of the selectors admitted. Until
upset by Army, 14-6, last Satur
day the Middies figured to be
a near-unanimous choice for the
award.
Navy Second
Navy wound up second in the
final balloting with eight first
place votes, followed by Army
with four and Syracuse' with
one. Others receiving votes were
in order: Yale, Colgate, Penn
State, Princeton, Boston College,
and Trinity, with honorable men
tion to Rhode Island, Holy Cross,
Delaware, Cornell, Lafayette,
and Junitta.
Navy whipped Pittsburgh, 21
0, during the season but several
of the selectors believe the Mid
dies couldn't do it again.

Eddie Joost
Named Seal
Field Pifot
By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco (U.R) Eddie
Joost, who sparkled in major
league infields for 15 seasons,
took over as manager of the San
Francisco Seals today and be
came the third local boy in less
than a week to' move in on the
hometown club.
General Manager Joe Cronin
of the Boston Red Sox, who was
born here and learned his base
ball at Sacred Heart high school,
touched off the chain reaction
Monday night when he swung a
deal in which the American
League club bought the stagger
ing Coast Leaguers for $150,-
000.
Then Cronin named Jerry Don
ovan, a fellow townsman and
former Seal outfielder, presi
dent and general manager dur
ing the minor league meeting in
Columbus, O. The pair followed
up by deciding Joost would be a
natural as manager and Eddie
accepted over the phone at his
home Wednesday night.
May Be Key Club
Thus Joost, who wound up his
major league days last season
as utility player with the Red
Sox, remained in the strong or
ganization to manage what may
become their key major league
farm.
The Red Sox are moving to
dispose of their Louisville affil
iate which they have held for
many years in the American As
sociation. "I feel wonderful about join
ing the Seals and coming back
to my old home town," said the
39-year-old infielder who broke
into professional baseball with
the San Francisco Missions when
he was 16.
It will mark his second crack
at running a ball club. He steered
the hapless Philadelphia Ath
letics to an eighth-place finish
in 1954 then was released after
the franchise was moved to Kan
sas City.
Actually, Joost has not come
to terms with - Cronin but he
doesn't seem worried.
"Joe and I will get together
all right," Eddie said. He added
that Cronin and Donovan are
expected to arrive here next
Thursday or Friday after the
major league meeting ends in
Chicago.

WHO AM I?
At the time of Alfred the
Great of England, a month
January was set aside to hunt
me down. Despite being a sav
age killer, I am a tender con
scientious father. Although a
meat eater, I sometimes nibble
grass, eat berries, and water
melon. I can eat one-fifth of my
weight at a sitting that may
last me a week. Because of my
tremendous endurance, I can run
down animals much faster than
I am.
I am one of the most wide
spread animals in the northern
hemisphere equally at home
from tropics to Arctic in moun-
tain ranges, plains or swamp.
Because of man's bitter enmity,
I have been forced to seek un
settled areas but despite this
you'll find a few of us in sev
eral states and Mexico but
mostly in the barrens of Can
ada and Alaska. Also in north
ern Europe and in vast areas of
Asia. At two or three, I take
a lifetime mate.
My eyes are yellowish; my
ears erect; my nose rather point
ed; my head large to accommo
date powerful jaws.
In short bursts, I can run 28
miles an hour but I can keep
up a 20-mile pace for hours on
end.
My heavy winter coat is
rather coarse and long, but
beautiful ranging from a light
color through brownish gray
and almost a pure black in the
jungle. My bushy tail serves me
well when I curl up, wrap it
snugly around my naked nose
and feet. I may live to be 15.
19-Inch Tail
My length may be five and a
half feet of which 19 inches is
my tail. My neck hair is erectile.
I have good vision, strong hear
ing, a sharp nose and this has
served me well because I am
today one of the most feared
and hated animals in the white
man's world.
Few wildlife families are more
devoted to each other. Females
have been known to adopt or
phans. Should a misfortune be
fall the mother, father takes
over, feeding his young regurgi
tated meat. The home-range may
be 50 miles in diameter one of
the world's largest.
Usually I eat small fry mice,
