(JP) The six-team Mexican League Friday won long-sought recognition by organized baseball as a Class AA circuit. The present Mexican League has been after official recognition since 1948, following its reorganization after Jorge Pasquel's raid on American players. Pasquel, president of the old Mexican League, lured several major league' stars south of the border in 1946 with high salaries as bait.

The "jumpers" included Sal Maglie, Danny Gardella and Ace Adams, of the New York Giants; Mickey Owens and Luis Olmo, of Brooklyn, and Max Lanier, Fred Martin and Lou Klein, of the St. Louis Cardinals.

President Edwin J. Anderson announced Friday that the first dividend in the company's history will be paid to stockholders of record of Jan. 21.

The Board of Directors approved a 14 per cent dividend per share, payable Feb. 1. This amounts to $14 a share on the company's $100.00 par value tock. THE DIVIDEND breaks down to two per cent a year since the company was incorporated for $500,000 in 1948. Payments to the 125 stockholders will run from $70 to $2,800.

Majority stockholders in the company are limited to $20,000 worth of stock, or 200 fchares. Actually the payoff will be less than $70,000 since the DFC has never sold all its authorized 5,000 shares of stork. The dividend will come from an estimated profit of 8125,000 realized in the record-breaking 1954 season. Ironically, it took the first defeat in a championship game ever suffered by Detroit to bring about the dividend. This dividend climaxes a financial comeback by the company since 1950.

That year it was necessary to borrow cash to continue operation after red ink to the tune of more than $220,000 was written into the books. WITH THE advent of a title contender in 1951, the DFC showed a profit for the first time, finishing: the season in the black. Two championship years, 1952 and 1953, brought profits totaling more than $22,000 dollars. It had been the intention of the board of directors to build a solid financial cushion to take care of any lean days that might befall the club. But the solid backing of the utocUhoklers and the apparent complete selling job done with pro football prompted them to authorize the dividend.

The stockholders' checks will go into the mail on the day they meet to elect officers for the coming year. Most likely the elate of officers who have been the force in bringing the club out of the doldrums of the National Football League will all be ie-elected. ANDERSON AND the coaching staff will go to New York next week to seek players in the annual player draft during the league meeting. Coach Buddy Parker will seek se eral players in trades also to keep the Lions contenders for the Western Divii title, an honor they have held for the last three years.
