Major League Clubs Face
Threat of Damage Suits
If They Move
Seattle (IP) The Brooklyn
Dodgers and New York Giants
will face damage suits totaling
ai least $4,700,000 before they
can move into Pacific Coast
league territory, a spokesman
for the Seattle Rainiers said.
Dewey Soriano, general man
ager of the Seattle PCL club,
said at le&st two PCL outfits.
Seattle and Sacramento, would
take the National league clubs
to court if the move is at
tempted. Seattle will sue for three mil
lion dollars while Sacramento
probably will ask for $7,700,000,
Soriano said.
"This will be a fight to the
finish." he added.
National league directors
Tuesday authorized the Dodgers
to move to Los Angeles and the
Giants to San Francisco.
'Invasion'
Soriano said that San Diego,
Portland, Hollywood and Van
couver probably would join Se
attle and Sacramento in fighting
the "invasion."- The Rainiers and
the only clubs on the coast
which own their own parks.
Emil Sick, president of the Se
attle club, was out of the city,
but he said previously the-Rainiers
would demand reimburse

league teams into the PCL area.
Soriano was bitter in his criti
cism of the National league own
ers. "At least they could have
waited until the current season
ends."
Portland HR Joe Ziegler,
general manager of the Portland
Beavers of the Pacific Coast
league, said he had just two
questions to ask about any
moves of the New York Giants
and the Brooklyn Dodgers to the
West Coast.
"Are they going to come? Can
they afford to ?"
Ziegler was asked to comment
upon permission given the two
National League teams to move
to San Francisco and Los An
geles in 1958 if they wish.
"As I understand it," Ziegler
said, "all that has transpired is
that the two clubs were granted
the right to move if and when
they want to."
He declined to discuss further
just how much it would cost the
Giants and Dodgers to move into
the West Coast. But he indicated
that if they did the Portland
club would seek indemnity in
court including the $300,000
spent in remodeling Multnomah
stadium should such a move
doom the PCL.

Rental Plan
For Redlegs
Br MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
New York (IB The New
York Yankees, world champions
at finance as well as baseball,
already have a $600,000 rental
plan mapped out today for the
incoming Cincinnati Redlegs
once the Brooklyn Dodgers and
New York Giants pull out for
the West Coast. -
Latest developments in the
franchise shift situation all
pointed to the growing possibil
ity that the Dodgers will play
their 1958 home games at
mammoth Memorial coliseum in
Los Angeles, the Giants will
play theirs at Seals stadium in
San Francisco and the Redlegs
will share Yankee stadium with
the Yankees.
President Dan Topping of the
Yankees already is on record as
saying "we would not be adverse
to a co-tenant, so lonz as the
incoming club would not en
croach on the Yankees' attend
ance. Such a club, however,
would have to meet several
terms, Topping added.
"Those terms." one baseball
official said, "will make the
Redlegs think there're paying off
the mortgage on the House that
Ruth built."
The Yankees are now paying
an annual rental fee of approx
imately $600,000 for Yankee
stadium. They pay another $250,
000 for maintenance of the ball
park plus about S150.000 in tax
es. That makes a total of a mil
lion dollars, a portion of which
they got back by allowing the
New York football Giants to
use the stadium during the fall.
When the Redlegs come into
Yankee stadium, they will have
to sign a long-term lease," the
same official told the United
Press. "The Yankees have this
thing all worked out and it will
cost Cincinnati at least $600,
000 to move in with them. In
addition, the Yankees will in
sist on dictating television and
radio policy."
Topping verified at least part
of that overall pian when he
commented recently that any in
coming club "would have to
match the thinking of the Yan
kees on such subject as radio
and television policy, number
of night games and the opera
tion of the stadium club.
The Redlegs, however, must
wait until both the Dodgers and
Giants move out, leaving New
York open for a National league
franchise.
In Cincinnati, President Pow
ell Crosley Jr. of the Redlegs
said he has no intention of mov
ing the bail club at this time"
but admitted he may be "tempt
ed under other circumstances."

three dare devil drivers risked
their lives today for a probable

This 41st renewal of the Me

one former champion, Troy

Ruttman, who won the grind

The latter, however, depends on

Bob Tiffenauer
Relief Stopper
For Maple Leafs
Br UNITED PRESS
It's almost a baseball axiom
that a team in quest of a pen
nant needs a relief stopper. And
the Toronto Maple Leafs, now
battling for a second straight In
ternational league flag, appear
to have the right man in knuck
leballing Bobby Tiffenauer.
The 6-foot, 3-inch, 187-pounder
made his 20th appearance of the
season for the Leafs Wednesday
night and stopped the rallying
Buffalo Bisons cold in the bot
tom of the ninth to preserve a
6-3 Toronto victory the Leafs'
first of the season over Buffalo,
and Humberto Robinson's sev
enth league triumph.
In other games, Richmond
slashed four Columbus pitchers
for 13 hits in a 13-6 cakewalk
that zoomed it into undisputed
possession of first place. Gary
Blaylocks second straight com
plete game victory gave Roches
ter fifth place and a 3-1 decision
over the Montreal Royals. Gene
Snyder became the first Miami
hurler to go the route since May
19, as he pitcher a 3-0 victory
over Havana.
