Even a little thing like throwing the ball directly to the pitcher after an out is made would snap up the game instead of throwing the ball around the in "Chauncey Devault of Bristol Va Tenn the head

league brothers by financial aid Major Subsidies "It is time to isk the majors to subsidize said Richardson it take a lot of money ither In some cases just putting in i top flight manager and pay ing his salary then encouragingim to comb the territory for good ball players would be enough keep a town going The major league clu can save some scout ing expense and they can put money to use that is now going big chunks to these bonus hoys major leagues re establish strong farm systems in different sec fons of the country and dize them or let the small inde pendent operators sign young players in their let the majors buy the players from baseball operators instead of giving the bonus to the he said think of all the bonus money paid to play Donovan recommended that ers the past number of years That money is out of baseball never to return If the small op erators received all that money from selling players I be lieve we would be facing financial Chico Staters In Top Shape or Year George
