The first time I went against
Robinson, I was scared. I was just
a green kid and while working out
for the fight, fans would crowd

Don't think those remarks didn't

That was when Robinson

"I'm going to Iignt lue same

the second time and that was
three years ago. I know he's not

come from a proposed "Oame tt
the Week" TV broadcast of major
league games on Saturday after
noons to aid the minors.
The minors, through the presi
dent of their Class B. C and O
leagues, have asked the majors te
help work out a plan for "lmmedW
ate relief ol tne oamagmg enecie
of TV broadcasts Into minor league
territory." Although this request
was not acted upon by the Ameri
can League and was rejected by
the National because of its "la-
temperate" language, the National
voted to lend a hand.
Commissioner Ford Frlck re
vealed Monday that he had been
rebuffed by the Justice Depart
ment In Washington In an attempt
to set up a test case on the right
of baseball to regulate radio and
TV broadcasts of its games. The
minors blame radio and TV for a
large share of their attendance de
cline In recent years.
A "Game of the Week" TV show
has been In operation In recent
years. Only three clubs partici
pated in the original plan but
many others Joined last season.
It was learned that the entire 18
major league clubs were consider
ins narticlnatlon In 1056.
The majors also lurnea aown ine
minors' proposal to change the law
on returning servicemen, making
them count dn the player limit
after 30 daya Instead of one year.
On the player demands, me
majora refused to go along with
the Increase from 16.000 to 17,300
In minimum pay. They also re
jected a proposal to let the players
negotiate on their own wiin winter
league teams and refused to keep
the players Informed on the new
World Series TV contract. The old
series pact expires alter the 1956
games. -
