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.
