Sure, there were more sand traps than you'll find on some coif courses, and there was a little more confusion than normal for such occasions.

It is a quirk of human nature to look for flaws, and certainly our opening was a long way from being perfect. But this will be a fine baseball plant. It will be better next week, and next month, and by a year from now there won't be a finer facility along the Gold Coast- The Braves' official family knows this, and so they weren't disheartened by the unfinished status as of ev terday. Iyxking ahead is sheer guesswork, but with the stadium we have the makings of a baseball metropolis in springtime, as well as a year-round center for community activities. The first major league exhibition ever played here was between the Cincinnati Reds, then champions of the world after the 1919 series, and the New York Yankees, who had just acquired a player named Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox.

They played on Toinciana Field in Tahn Beach and the Babe lost one out in the distant hibiscus hedge. That park gave way to Wright Field in West Talm Beach, and the Redlegs used it for two and three-day exhibition stays, even though they never pitched a full spring camp here. Then came the St. Louis Browns in the mid-thirties, and after World War PI Connie Mack brought the Athletics here. After 17 springs with the A's, baseball's expanding system had outgrown or Ben llolleman Introduced scoring 13 of the 19 points.

The stadium was built for this, with three locker-rooms for two resident clubs and a visiting team. The area back of the right and centerfield fence is ample for more full-size practice fields and batting cages. Obviously, twice as many exhibition games as at present would strain the economy.

Sports fans are on budgets for recreation. But exhibition game gate receipts, though pleasant, are not the primary concern of any club.

A 3,25. pS. A VSr -wC v'rB) W0 ill ilk M- 1jk fnl' 1 mms Manager Dark Blasts Ccpcda TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Manacrr Alvin Dark of the San Francisco Giants has taken another verbal poke at holdout first baseman Orlando Cepeda, who still hadn't shown tip at the Phoenix traininc; i iuir nnr uir uiitj uniuiru jHinurii iru irflfA, dissatisfied in Arizona, may like the idea, too. The Houston Colts are also looking toward Florida after their Arizona experiences.

Charlie Finley, although he feels he was batted around like a ping-pong ball between West Palm Beach and North Miami last year, still likes this area, and would like to bring the Athletics to some Gold Coast point if conditions develop. So the two-club training camp is not beyond possibility, maybe even by next year. If not, the Braves would iike to bring in some of their farm clubs to share the facilities. One way or the other, we're starting a baseball plant with a future. The stadium may be nestled in the sand dunes now, and deserve the name "Candlestick Park East" applied by National League writers, but it doesn't take much imagination to guess what it can be like in the years to come.

Just Notes Del Crandall and Fhil Roof, two of Milwaukee's catchers, have the same birthday, and celebrated it last Tuesday. Del had 33 candles. Phil 22 Don Richards, a soph from West Palm Beach, and Ben Tallman, freshman from Lake Worth, are camp Saturday. Dark said Cepeda had a "terribly minus" score for last season's play under the grading system used by the manager. Dark has a plus and minus sys tem to rate Giant players.

Plusses are for effective plays with extra good marks for late-inning efforts that tie or win games. The reverse is true for minuses. Center field star Willie Mays topped the National League pennant winners with 100 plusses and third baseman Jim Davenport had SO. Someone asked about Cepeda, who tailed off considerably in the late stages last season. I'm answering because you Dark replied.

"But Cepeda had 40 more minuses than plusses." ITS ACINCAJT AJKJ'T A on he ionda boutnern Lxnege gon roster.
