BIG SPRING. Tex.-Pat Sta
sey, manager of the Big Spring
club in the Longhern League, is
convinced that Cuban rookie
baseball players are more adj
vanced performers than their
United States counterparts.
Stasey ought to know. His Big
Spring club is front-runnlng the
Longhorn League for the thlrq
straight season. And as usual
every player on his club except
himself is a young Cuban.
Big Springs players come from
Joe Cambria veteran scout OF the
Washington Senators. Cambria IS
co-owner of the Havana club IN
the Florida International League,
but he sends few players here on
option. He signs most OF the
rockies he finds on the island to
contract forms of other clubs
Big Spring, for instance. AT the
end of the season he may claim
any of the players he wishes.
This unique arrangement en-
ables clubs like Big Spring to
get complete set of players at
small expense. And Cambria, in
turn, has the benefit of having
his rockies trained for him.
Should Big Spring get chance
to sell player, it may do so.
Stasey always consults with Cam
bria and it always has been ali
right with him. If Camgria needs
a pitcher or third baseman at
Havana, Stasey ships him one
right away.
Fans of other Longhorn League
clubs are certain that the supply
of Cuban baseballers is inexhaus-
tible. When one Big Spring star
leaves, another Cuban takes his
place and the team rarely slows
up.
Stasey has no language problem.
Most of the rockies speak a little
English and they catch on to it
quickly under the tutelage of the
older players.
One of the latest newcomers to
the club is Ernesto Mayorquian,
a righthanded pitcher about the
size of a watch charm. He arrived
in town without a cent. He didn't
even own pair of baseball shoes
or a glove. You're too little to
pitch" Stasey said. But Mayor
quian's papers said he was a
pitcher and that turned out to be
quite right
After feeding him for five days,
Stasey sent Mayorquian to the
hill in a tight relief role against
San Angelo. The youngster did
an amazing job, pitching 10 score
less innings in a duel Big Spring
won 81 in the thirteenth.
He declares the average Cuban
rookie is fast, has a good arm and
lots of hustle. They are easy to
and are popular both with
fans at home - and on the road.

rescued from the domain of preju-
dice. emotion, partisan politics
and selfish interest and be SUBJ
jected to logical analysis and
enlightened judgment"
Gen. Eisenhower pointed to the
coal and steel strikes and other
industrial deadlocks threatening
to throw more thousands out of
work. He said the situation arose
because a few men cannot see
eye to eye on specific items of
employe and employer RESPONSE
bility."
Citizens Problem Cited.
He added:
If they-of undoubted loyalty
to America can dare calamity
by their failure to agree in far
more simple decision, how can
the plain citizen determine the
dividing line between his own
and the Governments RESPONSE
bilities?"
The theme of the forum this
year is what kind of government
ahead? the responsibility of every
citizen" 1t will continue through
tomorrow night.
Gen. Eisenhower was the prin-
cipal speaker at the first session,
the rest of which was devoted to
the Democratic Party's> side of
