Hickey, organizer of the Cardin- als' "chain-store" system for de- veloping young players, said Ma;;-- league owners and players failed to show proper interest in the thous- ands of young stars on high school college and sand lot teams. Club owners and big time players should realize the 20,000,000 boys and young men in the nation who look up to diamond heroes as their idols will be the baseball fans and players of tomorrow, he said.
 'I believe we have a great busi- ness, a great sport that now is clean and wholesome" Hickey con tinued. we are keeping faith with the fans, young and old, by furnishing, honest game. But there we stop.
 We should have a program that provides for support of boys teams, that provides for keeping up interest of boys who play and boys who watch. And above all, we should use our influence to pre- vent baseball from being abandon ed because of the depression by high school, college and semi-pro teams"
 Little Napoleon"
 Rickey's address was feature of the dinner given in honor of John J. McGraw, former manager of the New York Giants. McGraw was presented with distinguished service plaque by the writers for his contribution to tho game dur ing his 30-year reign at the Polo grounds. He retired last June.
 His successor. Memphis Biil' Terry was present, as were most of the owners and manager in the two major circuit, and many well known players. More than 600 per- sons attended the affair.
 Tn addition to McGraw and Hickey, the other speakers, intro duced by toastmaster, Bugs Baer, included Haywood Brown, New York columnist, Dan Daniel, presi- dent of the New York writers, and Joe Cunningham, Philadelphia humorist.
 Herb Pennock, veteran Yankee pitcher. also was given distin- guished service plaque for nis sportsmanship and long service to baseball.
