Contrast that to baseball where the American League has been the New York Yankees, who have the money to outbid rivals ' for players, who wirjf pennants, and draw large crowds, arid bring more money to buy or sign more players. Baseball has gone through some uninspired leadership on the level of its thinking men, but even Happy . Chandler must seem an organiza- Ford Frick, tional genius, in contrast to Ford C. Frick, the current com- jnlssioner. Heres a couple of Frick quotes, taken from a speech iu ' Houston recently, to show the thought processes that would , do credit to an ostrich with its head in the sand: Ive frequently said I favor expansion to 12 clubs and that the present leagues present clumsy operation prob--lems. In my opinion, a change ,to 12 clubs should be made as soon as possible. This is a statement by the commissioner of baseball, and t It was made in the face of general agreement among baseball club owners, scouts and managers that the expansion to 10 Clubs in two years diluted major league baseball considerably. -- one-strok- e dom-lnatedj- y MISS JESSEN, on the qqlet side, turned tiger with a 35 on the front and came home with the same count, even through ' ? she bogied the 18th.

But the commissioner says expand as soon as possible - ' - If You Dont Who Will? Taking note of the lengthy baseball games, Frick blamed the pitchers for delays, and hastened to add he felt a return to the old strike zone would be the answer. The commissioner caid: "I believe the best overall solution would be to restore the old strike one. The old one was from the shoulders to the knees. Now, In effect, the strike zone Is from below the armpits to above the knees. . , The rules state The strike zone is that space over home plate that is between the batters arm pits and the top of his knees when he assumes his natural stance DONT KNOW WHAT strike zone Frick is watching, but ask any major league pitcher, or scout, or umpire where the strike zone is and hell say its closer to the belt buckle than 'the armpits. Then Frick adds, If the umpires will call it (the old strike zone) Ill back them up Well, bull for you. Ford boy.
