NY, Mantle
Rift Widens,
Barbs Tossed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
You'd think between them the
wealthy New York Yankees and
bowling impressario Mickey Man
tie could spare $1.71 for a phone
call that might lead them to strike
a compromise over the sluggin
outfielder's salary demands.
; The breach between the two
parties, however, seems to be get
' ting progressively wider with no
immediate hope of either putting
through the call between Mantle's
Joplin, Mo., home and the Yan
kees' St. Petersburg, Fla., spring
training camp.
Mantle, continuing firm in his
holdout siege, threw the most re
cent barb in the dispute Monday
"I honestly don't believe I'll be
getting to St. Petersburg this
year," he said.
Mantle's meaning was clear. He
said he wasn't "fooling" or trying
to "bulldoze" the Yankees but
"when I said I wouldn't call them
or go down there to talk, I meant
it."
George Weiss, general manager
of the New York club, said with
finality last week the club was
through trying to negotiate with
Mantle, who slumped to a .283
batting average last year and
drove in only 75 runs as the Yan
kees fell to third place.
The difference between the
Yanks and Mantle amounts to
quite a bit. Mantle has said he is
willing to take a cut, but nothing
near the reported $15,000 slice the
Yanks want to take out of his esti
mated 1959 salary of $75,ono.
A trade rumor also began at
the Yankee camp when Detroit
General Manager Rick Ferrell
came in.
The All-Star selections were
made by the coaches and play
ers of the five SOC parlftipant
schools. Balloting was conducted
on an all-opponent basis with no
votes allowed for members of their
own teams. Two points were
awarded for a first team vote and
one for a second team selection.
Players receiving 16 points were
unanimous.

For Winning
SPRINGFIELD, III. (AP) The
Springfield Board of Education
says it may bar the public from
future basketball games featuring
Springfield High School, Illinois
state champions last year.
The board's action Monday
night stemmed from the harass
ment of the school's basketball
coach, Ray Page, and his family.
The trouble, it appears, is the re
sult of the team's continued good
showing this year.
Recently vandals broke win
dows in Page's home. Earlier,
tires on his car had been slashed
and the convertible top damaged.
The family has been bothered by
mysterious threatening telephone
calls.
Page, 38, expressed bewilder
ment about the vandalism and
harassment. However, he said his
team's record of 25 wins and 4
losses may be the cause. There,
are three other high schools in
Springfield.
There s always a certain
amount of resentment over the
team's success," Page said.
He said an anonymous caller
recently told him if the team won
any games at the sectional tour
nament this week "you have only
a sample of what's going to hap
pen to you."

Student Newspapers
Decry Big Ten Plan
Student newspapers at Big Ten
tchools attacked a proposed ban
on post-season sports on general
grounds "it would turn their con
ference into a "little ten," or a
replica of the Ivy League.
Newspapers "at three of the
tchools commented on varying
days and in varying ways in
editorials decrying a conference
decision to end the Rose Bowl
pact and a proposal to eliminate
all post'season contests.
Conference athletic directors
and faculty representatives will
vote on the final ban at a May
18 meeting at East Lansing, Mich.
It was at East Lansing, home
of Michigan State University, that
the student daily newspaper, "The
State News," suggested naming
the conference the "Little Ten to
avoid desecrating the name of the
Big Ten of yore."
Lose Student Pride
"The State News commends the
Big Tei, " traditional form
but until conference academic
representatives kill the strategy
proposal of the athletic directors
that all post season sports com
petition by member schools be
barred, our conference will no
longer have its aura of bigness,"
the editorial said in a paper pub
lished Monday.
At Illinois, Urbana. 111., the stu
dent newspaper, "Daily Mini,"
said in an editorial Tuesday that
athletics "creates solidarity and
university pride" on the national
scale as well as at conference
level.
"To withdraw from the rest of
the country athletically," the ed
itorial said, "we believe would
ultimately lead to loss of student
pride and the destruction of the
conference itself."
"End of Era"
"Should the Big Ten "continue
to be one of the finest names in
collegiate sports, or should the
conference be relegated to the
position of a 'once athletically
powerful but now Ivy League
type of confederation of Midwest
ern universities?" the Mini said.
The Ohio Slate "Lantern"0ran
an editorial Monday regretting
the death of the Rose Bowl pact
and entitled it "the end of an
era."
The "Minnesota Daily" termed
the post - season ban as "ri
diculous" and said "it may hurt
recruiting and make the Big Ten
just a stop behind the Ivy
League."
The Iowa student daily was of
fically mum on the matter but
carried comments from athletes
who were "disappointed" and who
predicted that top-notch high
School athletes would not go to
Big Ten schools.

Tri-Cities
Going Good
KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP)
Practically everything's going to
be new for the Tri-Cities Braves
when they open the Northwest
League season this year.
The team has a new name
officially Tri-Cities now instead of
Tri-City new owners and a new
general-field manager.
The new manager Is Chester
(Whitey) McDowell, who also
heads a group that purchased the
Braves franchise. The group re
portedly is backed by J. H. Ver
non of Anchorage, Alaska.
The team's franchise was taken
from a local civic group by the
league because of indebtedness
last January.
Only three players have been
signed so far. They are Harry
Dunlop, catcher; utility player
Mac Schmidt and pitcher Fred
Rick.
The Braves have no working
agreement with major league
clubs because the club wasn't
reorganized until February, but
McDowell said he expects to pick
up plenty of players when other
teams begin cutting.

which could not be drafted from
its roster. The roster could
elude any players on the injured
list at the end of the 1959 season
Each club then would submit
secret list of players eligible for
draft by Dallas. From (his Dallas
could select not more than three
players from each, and not more
than one player from each posi
tion.

If you're going to buy a
low price car...be sure
you get the better one!
Some new-car buyeri are gkeptical when wi
tell them thig price atory. Here are some of
the quMtioni they ask and our answer:
Q"Do you mean Mercury is now a low
. prica car? Did you reduce prices?"
A "Yes. Monterey prices are now $174
lower, and include many extras that
are now standard equipment."
Q'But in your price comparison, aren't
you talking about a 'stripped' Mercury
with rubber mats, plain interiors,
no equipment, no glamour?"
A "No, we're talking about a de luxe
' appointed Monterey with beautiful
nylon interior and deep, thick carpet
ing. The comparison is fair."
Q"Do all Monterey models have as good
a price story?"
i "Yes, within a few dollars. It's the
" ' most amazing value story aver offered.
Just read below." o
tnt m eomr.i.wn of miuliclurtn' luiiMtrt 1H0 nun bi iun l Irmt.piieM V-l pomfrt mttftli.
Many people figure that since the ear
they art considering has historically had
a "low-price" name it must be, in fact,
a low-price car.
This, at one time, was (rue. But today
the names of cars, as you may know, have
very little to do with their prices. Msny
ears with traditional low-price names cost
more than Mercury a name you have
always associated with higher price cars.
Our point is this:
A Mercury Monterey, with
deluxe appointments, is now
priced $31 to $66 less than any
of the best selling Fords, Cher
roleti, and Plymouth (the V-8
powered Galaxies, Impalas, and
Furys). Yet Mercury offers you
0far more of everything you want
in a car.
MERCURY ADDS UP TO A BETTER LOW-PRICE CAR-Mercury has a 7
to 8 inch longer wheelbase than Galaxie, Impala, andFury 289 to 494 pounds?
more weight up to 23 more insulation more spacious passenger compart,
ment self-adjusting brakes up to 28 more visibility more luxurious in
terior finer quality (every Mercury is road-tested before it is shipped, not just
spot-checked as all other low-price cars) Smoother ride, axtra satisfaction.
