All-Star Outing Turns
Into Big Business
Session for Owners
Baltimore (UPD Major
' league club owners turned
baseball's annual All - Star
"outing" into a big business
meeting that ultimately may
alter tie map of the game.
They were playing the 25th
annual All-Star game today
but it was only a sideshow in
the minds of baseball men.
The big topic on their lips in
volve Monday's momentous
meetings which made it plain
that expansion still is the
clubowners' favorite form of
amusement. ,
Almost simultaneously, the
American league called on
Calvin Griffith of the Wash
ington Senators to present a
concrete proposal to transfer
his franchise from the nation's
capital and the National
league went formally on rec
ord that it wants to return to
New York City. e
The American league's ac
tion means the Senators al
most certainly will eventually
leave Washington while the
National league's means some
team almost Qertainly will
give New Yo City a fran
chise to replace the departed
Dodgers and Giants.
Almost Certain . .
The American league offic
ially announced that "t h e
Washington club did not re
quest permission to transfer
its franchise." But United
Press International learned
Griffith's request was reject
ed only because it was not
concrete enough. If Griffith
can produce a "concrete pro
posal" at a more propitious
moment it is almost certain
it would be approved.
The National league, mean
while, accepted New York
City' offer of a $12,000,000
stadium seating 52,000 fans
with the official warning that
"nothing is imminent," and

Senator Says
Ball Clubs Must
Consider Public
Washington (UPI) - Sen.
Karl E. Mundt a sponsor of
a Senate sports bill, disclosed
today he is drafting an amend
ment to keep club owners
from "thumbing their noses
at the public" in franchise
shifts.
The South Dakota Republi

Senate drafting experts its
legislative counsel to pre
pare language requiring
that executives of professional
teams "assume certain respon
sibilities to the public and
consider the public interest"
in moving from city to city.
Mundt was the first "legis
lating senator" to speak out
Monday against plans to move
the baseball-playing Senators
from WashingtonHe suggest
ed owners of the team "take
another look at their obli
gations." Mundt said he is not with
drawing his sponsorship of a
bill which would grant broad
anti-trust exemptions to pro
fessional team sports.
"But Congress, should not
extend' special treatment for
baseball clubs to accept with
one hand and let them barter
it off with the other for a
greedy personal profit," he
said.

Vet Pitcher
Rates Clubs
By HAL WOOD
United Press International
San Franciscd (UPI) Vet
eran relief specialist Marv
Grissom took an evaluation
of the National league clubs
today and came to the conclu
sion that they all" "are about
equal in hitting, but with Mil
waukee having a pitching
edge."
"These teams appear to be
so evenly balanced that it is
impossible to pick among
them," said the 40-year-old
fireman. "The hitting on near
ly every club in the league
is just about equal.
"The only difference I can
see is that Milwaukee appears
to have a bit better pitching."
Grissom, with a 5-3 record,
already has appeared in 30
games for the Giants as he
has fought to hold leads for
the local club against the all-
around slugging of the oppo
sition.
The "most surprising" club
to Grissom has been his own
the Giants. He credits the
resurgence of the Giants to
the help from the big rookie
crop. .
. "The Milwaukee team is as
strong this year as it was
last," says Grissom, "but
every other team, in the loop
has improved.
"The improvement has been
brought about by ropkies.
When you get one rookie to
come through in a key posi
tion, it improves the strength
of a team immeasurably.
"That's the reason we are
fighting for the pennant this
year, while last season we fin
ished in sixth place," said
Grissom. v
