Plan Would Quiet Attacks By Congress B7 LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Chicago (IB National league club owners will be asked today to consider a proposal that with one stroke would re vamp the baseball map and quiet congressional attacks on the game. Under the plan, the Brooklyn Dodgers would switch to Los An geles, the New York Giants to San Francisco and the Cincin nati Redlegs to New York. The "triple play" could go into ef fect for the 1958 season if it re ceives the unanimous consent of the club owners. The plan will be proposed at a special meeting of the league's executives beginning at 3:30 p.m. The owners will be told that all necessary documents, involving television and radio commit ments for the future and guar antees of new parks in Los An geles and San Francisco already have been drawn up. The baseball official, who re vealed the plan to the United Press, said the shifts would also be discussed at another meeting before the All-Star game in St. Louis, July 9, "because it is un likely such a complicated move would be approved at a single meeting." The plan, dubbed' 'Operation Big Switch," is being presented as a possible "cure-all" for' many problems confronting the own ers as follows: It would solve the Dodger's home park problem by transfer ing them to a great far western metropolis which has given as surances that it will provide the team with a stadium seating about ,50,000. It would transfer the spec tacular Dodger-Giant rivalry across the continent to cities which are natural rivals. It would enable the league to keep a franchise in New York the world's largest city and give the Redlegs a park Yan kee Stadium, which they would share with the Yankees, with a capacity of 67,000 compared to their 29,584-seat capacity in Cincinnati. National league officials com mented cautiously when the United Press revealed the plan but it was immediately hailed by Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (It Calif,) the two congressional sponsors of baseball anti-trust legislatiton. "The move is good for baseball and for baseball fans because it betokens a crack in this monop olistic baseball structure," said Celler. "The proposed shifts are a healthy sign. It is good to break down the monopolistic barriers that have existed for a half a century Baseball owners are realizing that the whole na tion is interested in big league baseball, not just the eastern half." "It is an intelligent and hope ful move on the part of the Na tional league," said Hillings. "It may spell the difference in base ball's case for favorable legisla tion by the Congress. It will go a long way toward helping un snarl the complicated legal sit uation now facing America's na tional pastime." An anti-trust subcommittee headed by Celler will begin hearings on these and other sports bills starting June 10. In Los Angeles, County Sup ervisor Kenneth Hahn called the proposal "the best lead we've ever had" and added that Pres ident Walter O'Malley of the Dodgers "told us he'd be will ing to play here in 1958 either in the Los Angeles coliseum or at Wrigley field before settling on a permanent home. EUGENE Plus Tax 890 re WEST CO ff ST untunes Score To Be Discharged Cleveland IIP) Thre weeks ago . tonight Cleveland pitcher Herb Score was struck in the right eye by a batted ball that could have ended his promising baseball career. Today the 23-year-old south paw will be discharged from Lakeside Hospital with his doc tor's assurance that "he'll be all right." Score has made a remarkable recovery ! from the injury, suf fered in a game against New York May 7 when a line drive off the bat of the Yankees' Gil Mc Dougald hit him in the eye and left him writhing in pain on the pitcher's mound at Muncipial Stadium. Now Herb is ready to leave the hospital and plans to fly imme diately to Hagerstown, Md., where he will continue his re cuperation at the home of his uncle, Arthur Flood. The strikeout king is not ex. pected to return to action until early July. He will rest completely at Ha gerstown for two or three weeks before starting workouts to re gain his pitching condition. The workouts are expected to last an additional two weeks at least. Dr. Charles Thomas, eye spe cialist, who had been treating Score along with Dr. Donald Kelly, team physician, said Mon day the pitcher's "vision is clear ing gradually and I'm sure he'll be all right." The specialist said the results of vision tests were "satisfac tory." However, he declined to elaborate.
