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.

The Forty Niners are favored
