O o O- :WELVE MEPFOHD (OREGON) KAIL TRI3UNE New York Area Claimed Open By MILTON RICHMAN Colorado Springs. Colo. ftp Baseball's controversial bonus rule officially is dead, but the battle over territorial rights was more alive than ever, with New York being declared "open ter ritory" for anyone even the de parted Dodgers, if they wish to return. The major leagues wound up what was probably the most hec tic meetings in their history Fri day, not only by killing the bo nus rule, but by instituting a new type four-year unrestricted draft, raising the player salary minimum to S7.000 and waging a drawn-out fight for the terri tory left vacant by the departure of the Dodgers and Giants to California. Boiled down, the battle stacks up this way: The National league wants to retain the New York territory as a possible "haven" for any of its clubs which might wish to move in there. The American league, on the other hand, wants to re serve the right of approval for any club desiring to share New York with the Yankees. Favors Open Territory Commissioner Ford Frick made it patently clear that he favors declaring any territory open from which a club leaves. "I am in favor of baseball ex pansion," Frick said. "The terri torial rule provides for closed territory once a club leaves, but the amendments to the rule call for opening the territory. Who knows, there, may be three ma jor leagues some day." Frick locked horns with Am erican league officials over the exact definition of the New York territory Friday and it finally was agreed to suspend action on the matter until the next joint meeting of both leagues, Jan. 25. "The Giants and Dodgers are not yet officially established in California," Frick told newsmen later. "Meanwhile, if someone comes in and desires to operate In New York, I shall consider it open territory." No Applications for New York Frick said there have been no applications for any club wish ing to move into NewYork, and in answer to a question, he said the Dodgers could return if they wished. The Dodgers are encountering difficulties in obtaining a ball pa'rk site in Los Angeles and President Walter O'Malley con ceded there was a possibility the club would return to Brooklyn, but he ."doubted it very much." To help unsnarl the territorial problem, Frick appointed two of ficial from each league to study (gmn!4mn1 to ie present rule. f& Ln of the Indians and Ifcf J$in of the White Sox were Ca4 ftom the AL. while Gabe 'Pfcl of tfi Redlegs and DicK c"iS$ot the Cardinals were des pite from the NL (trtif Diftfr on Bonus fjonu rule did not pass ($tff ef existence without a bat (t$i.
