HASN'T REACHED DES M01NES-AS YET ittle Learae-Colt Feud By Jim Moackler A national feud for boy baseball players probably won't affect Des Moines this seasonbut it might next year. Little League Baseball, the national organization, recently set plans for a Senior Little League for boys 13-15 years old. In retaliation, the Pony League national group disclosed that it would create a Junior Colt League for boys 11 and 12 years old. Next Year Joe Malsam, secretary of the Greater Des Moines Little League Association, said Wednesday that there is no plan to attempt to organize Senior Little Leagues this.year. "But next year we may do something about it," he said.

Malsam said that if It is undertaken, there would a strong effort made to work in co-operation with Babe Ruth and Pony Leagues here. He said that only about a third of the boys who graduate from Little League teams each year can be accommodated in the Babe Ruth League, which this year will include about 425 boys aged 13-15 in Des Moines. New Leagues Only the Windsor area had Pony League baseball last year. New leagues are to, start this year in the Highland Park and Grand-view areas. Bob Cheetham, president of the Windsor league, said there is no plan that he knows about to start a Junior Colt League in Des Moines.

"We're not interested in trying to outdo any other league," Cheetham said. "We just want to see the boys play baseball." Gene Glasco, president of the Babe Ruth League of Des Moines, said of the plans for additional programs: "I really don't think it's the answer. I believe they're making a big mistake." Interest Declines Glasco said that there is a general decline of inter est in baseball above Lit-tie League age and that present programs are adequate to handle the demand. Roland Franquemont, who headed the Windsor group a year ago, said that boys find many other interests and often prefer to pursue them to playing baseball. The Pony and Senior Little League plans would be in agreement on at least one thing: the distance between bases.

i Both would have the boys run 75 feet between bases. The Little Leaguers go only 60. The Ruth League dis tance is 90 feet, the regulation size. "And that," says Glasco, "is where we've got it over those other leagues. Our boys are ready for the standard-type diamond by the, time they play with a high school team." Page 30 DEPT.

Estrada claims the soreness is gone, but he is not throwing the blazers that overpowered batters last season. Trainer Eddie Weidner says the trouble was nothing more than spring tenderness and an elbow soreness developed by many pitchers who rely heavily on sliders. Estrada allowed 18 runs-and 24 hits.

His only decision against major league opposition was a loss to the Minnesota twins. One of Estrada's worst clobberings of the spring was a 7-6 loss to Richmond of the International League. After that one, Manager Paul Richards said: "He can't throw as hard as I can. He's got noth- it ing.

Loes Shows Old Form April 13. 1961 Des Moines Seeks Pro Grid Berth By Tony Cordaro Don Plato and a group of Des Moines businessmen have made an application for a berth in the new Midwest Professional Football League. Plato, former coach of the Des Moines professional club 10 years ago, said the application will be acted on this week.

Six teams have already been accepted Louisville, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. Triple-A The league will be the equivalent of baseball's triple-A leagues a degree below the majors. "I believe Des Moines has -a good chance to be said Plato Thursday after returning from a league meeting in Columbus. Two other former members of the old Des Moines club will be officials of the proposed team. John Connors will be general manager, Dave Fidler publicity director and Plato coach and assistant general manager.

"If we're accepted, we'll have working agreements with several of the top teams," said Plato. $50,000 Expenses "We figure the cost of operating for a year will be about $50,000. The players will receive $50 a game and each team will have 30 players. "The club will pay the training expenses for six weeks prior to the opening of the 12-game schedule. "In order not to conflict with high school and college games, the Midwest League will play its games on Saturday night.

"The league ruled out the Sunday afternoon contests not desiring to compete "with the telecasts of the major pro games." Plato said the team would play its games at Sec Taylor stadium. Pro Hawks The name for the club has already been selected "Des Moines Pro Hawks." George Gareff of Columbus is commissioner of the league. "Gareff knows Des Moines well and feels the town would support a pro football team," continued Plato. "1 feel sure Des Moines will be selected, along with another team from Kentucky to complete an eight team league." "We'll have to pay to join the league and send another $5,000 to guarantee we will complete the season." Should Des Moines be accepted, Plato will hire three assistants, who will paid the same as the players, $50 a game. No Trouble "We shouldn't have any trouble getting a 30-man squad," said Plato.

"When the pro teams cut down their squads, there'll be hundreds of players available. "If we have a working agreement with a major team, we'll try and get a job for the cut-off players to help defray their expenses." "Of course, we'll go after former Iowa, Iowa Stale and Drake players. They'll have the biggest customer his music to concentrate on winning a starting position in the outfield of the Milwaukee Braves baseball team, was in deep distress Thursday. Maye, on the basis of his fine work during the exhibition series this spring, earned the starting spot in left field for Milwaukee's opening game. He got in fine shape by playing winter baseball in Puerto Rico instead of writing music as he had done previously in the off season.

The 26-year-old outfielder performed well in the opening game that the Braves lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, 2-1, in 10 innings but he came up with strained right shoulder muscle. The injury may keep him out of action a day or possibly a week or more. "I finally got a shot and this has to happen," Maye said Wednesday. "I only hope I can get back in there Friday.

But my arm is pretty stiff right now." Estrada BALTIMORE, MD.

So he took MAXTLK a shot in the arm to help him stay that way, and the trouble started. "He has a knot the size of a baseball on his left arm," said Manager Ralph Houk, 'but I think he'll be able to play Thursday. It's from a hay fever shot he took Wednesday morning. Damndest thing you ever saw." "I've been taking these shots once a month for a year and a half," said Mantle, "and this is the first time I've ever had a reaction.

He's been a major league pitcher since 1952. I had a lot of respect for him when I played against him." Loes gave up nine singles with the only Pirate run coming in the sixth as Roberto Clemente singled, advanced to third on Hoak's single and scored on an infield out. In the Giants' eighth, Harvey Kuenn and Willie Mays singled and the bases were jammed when Willie McCovey drew an intentional walk. Then Law hit Orlando Cepeda. on the shoulder.

The Pirate pitcher said Orlando could have ducked the pitch that came about a foot inside. "I didn't have a chance to get out of the way," answered Cepeda. McCoy Pitches Pfc.
