Aside from Thornton, the Probably the wealthiest lad in the Three I League has been a Sherman Field visitor for the past two nights and he'll be there again tonight.

Name: Dave McNally. Age: 18, Occupation: Pitcher. McNally is the former Billings. American Legion baseball star who was beseeched bv a host of major league clubs last summer before the Baltimore Orioles landed him. The Birds convinced young McNally with a whopping bonus, reportedly $85,000.

McNally has not been as sensational in his brief professional career as he was during Legion play last year, but that is understandable. It's quite a jump, even for a boy so talented as Dave. After signing with the Birds, McNally pitched in the Arizona Winter Instructional League, winning 5 and losing two to the tune of a 4.59 ERA. Oriole skipper Paul Richards took Dave under his wing in spring training and then shipped him to Victoria of the in 4 starts. In 19 innings, McNally whiffed 19 and walked 18 which surprised all hands.

Pitching for Billings which went to the national Legion finals last year, McNally whiffed 259, allowed only 11 hits and two earned runs. He won 18 straight games and then had his string snapped at an inappropriate time the final game of the Legion nationals by New Orleans. Three I League fans are looking forward to watching young McNally and wish him well a feeling no doubt held also by the Baltimore Orioles. Packers Profit Does it help to have a winner? The Green Bay Packers eertaintly think so after netting $115,128 last fall the largest profit in 15 years. Total income was a record $1,177,773.

Several things helped the Packers, in addition to winning their NFL division title, according to general manager coach Vince Lombardi. They got $50,000 from the championship game and $125,000 from the Dallas Cowboys for 3 players. And two large crowds at Milwaukee helped swell the coffers. Lombardi is happy about 1961 prospects, too. Already the Packers have received 30,604 season ticket renewal's out of 31,000 and they have 2,856 new orders, indicating 35,000 season tickets will be sold by September.

Chances are good that quite a few Packers will be asking and getting sizeable pav raises'this year. And all hands Mil! agree that it helps to have a winner.
