The win gave North Carolina a perfect 22-0 record and moved it within two games of a perfect season.

Sunday, February 24, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Realignment in Major Leagues May Leave Every Team In Separate Cities; Majors May Move West the National league. By HAL-WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.PJ The prospect of Major league baseball coming to California withirr the next year or two took on a rosy hue . today but "the matter of procedure still is open for con jecture.' With the Brooklyn club now owning the Los Angeles fran chise in the Pacific, Coast league, the way'was open for a transfer of "Dem Bums" to this state. . ' But would the National league go for a one-stop swing through the west? "The general line of thinking in the majors now Is to have one team in each city," says Phil Wrigley, president of the Cubs. Plan Suggested Along with that idea, here is a possibility suggested by a man connected with the PCL. 1 Brooklyn will move to Los Angeles and the New York Giants to the Minneapolis-St. Paul stadium by 1960, for the two "western" National legaue clubs. 2 The Boston Red Sox will sell the San Francisco franchise in the PCL to the Chicago White Sox. That would be the only change necessary in the Amer ican league, as it already has a "jumping off" place for the west coast at Kansas City, Mo. This realignment would make ever city in both leagues a "one team" city. However, it would eliminate the possibility of a great rivalry series between San Francisco and Los Angeles, because they would' be in different leagues. Los Angeles has a trade area of 5,000,000, San Francisco of about 3,000,000. The possibility Is broached because it is doubtful that the American league is going to turn the California' gravy over to the National league in toto. Eddie Mulligan, president of the Class C California league and a former major leaguer and PCL president, suggests this pos-sibility: BARDSTOWN WINS Miami U.PJ Calumet Farm's Bardstown romped to victory by nearly five lengths in the $119,400 Widener Handi cap Saturday, pinning a stun ning defeat on Summer Tan, who finished fourth. v 1 - 'Brooklyn and the Cubs may be getting ready to make a shift, with the Cubs transferring their teSm from Chicago to the rich Ft. Worth-Dallas area, where there -is a fast-growing popula tion; and the Dodgers moving to Los Angeles with San Francis co completely by-passed. Having a ,major league stop in Texas would break the long western swing from St. Louis in Of course, the fact that neith er the Cubs nor the White Sox have announced they intend to move out of the windy city makes 'the whole idea strictly a guess. The Washington Senators have considered a move, too but that would eliminate one city in the American league and still leave Chicago as a two-team city.
