Newspaper Page Text' WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGS THIRTEEN Minor Leagues Soy Majors Bring Trouble editor's note: Minor league baseball faces problems thai threaten to close many parks. Alreadr tiiis 18 cities have had to suspend opera tiom. The I'nitcd Press has asked minor leairue presidents v'doae cities were involved to tell whst as wrong. In this two-part series beginning to day, they discuss first their liasio problems and second their Ideas (or lolvtaf them. By CARL LUNDtJUlST Inltcd Press Sports Writer Minor league baseball is in trouble as never bslorc, and the ma tors are to blame for it. That is the feeling of minor league presidents, whose cities were involved in the 10 franchise Jold-ups that have occurrel al ready this season. They feel the worst is yet to come unless there u helD from the majors. The principal complaint Is that the majors saturate minor league lerritory with radio and in some coses television broadcasts. The second "beef" is that the majors lit. longer are willing to supply financial aid by developing players ihrouaii minor league farm sys- ipTi-13. out ins.eaa are spending money recruiting mgn pricea bonus babies. ONCE - LIVELY Shelby Peace, president of the once-lively Kitty League at Hop kinsville, Ky., declared that "not even the commissioner of baseball cares what happens to us. "Does Ford Frick look at what television and radio has done to the minors?" asked Peace. "Mad isonville, Ky., which had to give up this year in our league, has a beautiful park and adequate park ing facilities. But the air was sa turated with television and radio. I know the big league announcers tell the people to go out and sup port their local club, but who has the enthusiasm to watch a Kitty League game after listening to the glamour they spread Bround?" Doubles Play Features Top Seeded Bouts CHESTNUT HILLS, Mass. UP Top-seeded tandems, all but three of which survived early play in the 75th national tennis doubles championships, turned to toppling each other today. With only two seeded teams knocked out in actual play, and! the other "benched" in a ruckus-j raising Davis Cup maneuver, seed-; cd entries comprise the bulk of the remaining field. Of 29 icam6i surviving In the men's and wom en's doubles divisions, 16 were seeded. The situation promised to step up the tempo of the tournament, somewhat sluggish through its first two days at the Longwood Cricket Club. Attention. Tuesday,- in -fact, cen-. tered a large part of the time on non-tournoy play involving Tony Trabert and Vic , Seixas, big guns on the U. S. Davis Cup team that will defend Its crown against a determined Australian aggregation t Forest Hills, N.Y., Aug. 26-28. Trabert and Sclxas, top two ten nis players In the nation and top seeded in this tourney, won their match Tuesday by default, so got in practice rounds with Jack Kra mer and Don Budge. Trabert. a 24-year-old from Cin cinnati, Ohio, out of action three necks before the doubles cham pionships with a sprained shoulder played flawlessly, raising hopes for a successful defense of the Cup at Forest Hills. Eliminated in upsets Tuesday sere Australians Mai Anderson and Jcoff Radford and Mexicans Yola Ramirez and Rosa Maria Reyes. The second-seeded foreign cntrv of Lew Hoad and Ken Rose- v.Bll lost by default after Austra lian Davis Cup coach Harry Hop man decided to withdraw them, apparently to save them for the Cup challenge rounds. Anderson and Radford bowed to Leslie Longshore, of Anniston, Ala, and Alan Morris, of Atlanta, Ga in the most spirited match of the day, 7-8. 10-8, 8-8, 84. The Mexican tandem, rated one of the best sent here by that na tion in years, were set down by Midge Buck, Charlottesville. Va and Mrs. Kay McKean, South Hamilton, Mass., 8-4, 6-2. In other play Tuesday, Doris Hart of Rye, N.Y., and Shirley Fry, of Akron, Ohio, fresh from their Wightman Cup win Monday, beat Helen Rihbany, of Boston and Karol Fageros, of Miami, Fla., 6-2, 4-6, 8-0.

"Everyane is major league conscious because ot broad casts and telecasts into our terri tory." CONFRONTED Emmet H-.rty. head of the Col ton States League at Greenville.

"Despite that, I have six town? who have signified their interest In operating nest scasm," he fid- cd. "All I can say is that they are gluttons for punishment. In my own town of Greenville over 30, OOtf has been raised by public sub scription since 1950 to keep base ball. I don't think this can go on unless the majors take some revo lutionary step this fall." Tommy Richardson, head of ihe Class Eastern League nt Wil liamspart. Pa., said: "The minors vdll be in trouble as long as a major league team is willing to give $60,000 to one untried kid, but refuses to pay $10,000 to operate a first rate minor league franchise where there is a chance for 18 players to develop while that one kid sits on a big league bench." FRANCHISE The Eastern League, one of the eldest and most stable. Is in good shape. Richardson said, with at tendance up about 80.000 over last year even though wtlKes-Barre Pa., had to shift its franchise to Johnstown. Pa "An economic situation involving It- lunl Mat n ra-i fnm&ti WilV:fR- Barre to quit." Richardton said, j "Now we re nkav evervwhrre but in Albany. Radio and TV are heavy competition there. Thcv get broadcasts and telecasts of the Yankees, Giants, Dodger and Red Sox. That's too much for us to beat. Howard Creeti. president of the Big State League at Fort Worth, Tex., said redin had no'blns to do with the failure of Galveston fr.d TvSer n his loop. INTERESTED "Galveston drooped out because it was the world's worst baseball town, a resort city of the rankest type," Green said. "Baseball was Im wholesome for a copulation more interested in gamin?;, niaht elubs and that which goes with both. Tyler dropped out because it imnossd a burden on the rest of the league. Tyler could hnvc finished had not Galveston lfti tered." Chaunccy Devault Bt Bristol. Va. Term., headquarters of his Class n Anna achian .
