|Griff Quito AmendWoi
Citing Dickering for Boudreou

"The way to do it is to place q
free agent on the regular waiver
list. If he's claimed he goes to
the claiming club for $4,000. The
player is protected because the
claiming club takes over the same
salary obligations the last team
paid him. If he isn't claimed he
then should be put on the 81
waiver list"
Grifith's proposed amendment,
to be presented by Vice President
Calvin Griffith. also would prevent
rich clubs from obtaining out
standing free agents merely be-
cause of wealth. The lowest club
in the league standings would get
first crack at the player.
Griffith has no desire to inter-
fere with so-called courtesy"
waivers. I'm the Boudreau case"
Griffith declared. II told our
league president that If waivers
were being asked for the purpose
Of getting Boudreau out OF our
league SO he could manage in the
other league I wouldn't claim
him."
Griffith will send Calvin, Man.
ager Bucky Harris and Farm Di-
rector Ossie Bluege to the minor
league meeting at st. Petersburg
next week and Secretary Edward
B. Enyon. jr.. will join them for

The Syracuse Nationals, last
seasons Eastern Division cham
pions of the National Basketball
Association, are finding the going
much rougher these days. But
that's no surprise to Player
Coach AL Cervi.
The veteran called the turn be-
fore the current campaign began,
even though his squad finished
the 1949-50 regular campaign
with the best record in the then
17-club league with 81 victories
against 13 defeats. Said Cervi
before the present season opened:
II moan only when there's a
good reason-and believe me, this
year there are plenty of reasons.
Before the start of the 1949-50
schedule, nobody figured us to
be tough. We were, to the surprise
of everybody but ourselves. per-
haps we caught a lot of teams
with their defenses down.
All Are Cunning for Mats.
'This year no one is taking us
for granted. I know they're all
cunning for us. Every SQUAD is
bigger. faster. more experienced
and more determined than be-

Cervi also mentioned Syracuse S
lack Of height and added that his
own sacroiliac "ain't what it used
to be-"

The fear of possible collusion
in dickering for free agents will
prompt Clark Griffith to propose
an amendment to the waiver rule
at the major league meeting start
ing December II at st. Petersburg
Fla.
Griffith discerned a loophole fo1
shenanigans in the recent bidding
for Lou Boudreau. fired as short
stop-manager of the Indians
Boudreau signed with the Red
Sox after several clubs made him
handsome offers, including one by
the Mats which Griffith termed
"the biggest offer ever made to
a player by the Washington club
The Mats boss naturally was
chagrined at failing to land Bou-
dreau. but now he's more per-
turbed over what he sees as a
danger signal to baseball which
the Boudreau case brought to
light. "All we have in baseball
is honesty" Griffith declared
Without that baseball is nothing
and there's a chance for dis
honesty the way we're dealing
with free agents.
Cites Present Rule.
"The way the rule reads now.'
Griffith continues, "a free agent
may be claimed for 81. but has
the right of refusal and may bar
gain with other clubs. The rule
was intended to aid ball players
on their last legs. Clubs that
wouldn't claim a veteran who was
declared q free agent-not being
willing to take a $4,000 gamble
that might backfire-could give
that player a chance to stick in
the big leagues by claiming him
for 81 and coming to an agree
ment on salary.
"The intent remains excellent,
but the rule wasn't designed for
players as valuable as Boudreau
I'll show you why. Let's say sev-
eral clubs are in the thick of a
pennant fight. One Of those club
owners goes to a second-division
club owner and says. I want Joe
Spumoni, your star pitcher. Make
him a free agent, I'll get him and
give him 2 big pay boost. Incl
dentally, I'll make it worth your
while
Would Put Him on Waiver List.

nancially might be tempted. ]

that temptation.

|2'T' Teams 70 Clash
When Eastern Meets
ST. John's 5 Friday

They're going to serve aT"-
T-formation football. that is-Fri-
day night at Griffith Stadium as
Eastern. the District public high
champion. and st. Johns. the
Catholic League titlist. battle for
the mythical city-wide crown.
Both teams use the '"T" and find
it to their liking. The Johnnies
rolled over all nine Of their op-
ponents this season. while Eastern
lost only one game and tied one.
Both teams have been looking
good in practice. The Johnnies
planned to work out defensive
plays today. Coact. Joe Gallagher
warned his team to look out for
Eastern's passing and down. the
middle running plays.
First Crack at Title.
This will be the.first crack either
team has had at the public Cath
olic title. st. Johns went unbeaten
and united in 1947, but this classic
was not inaugurated until the fol-
lowing year. Eastern last won the
District interhigh title in 1945.
That was a great team the
Johnnies fielded in 1947. Led by
Quarterback Jack George, the
Johnnies had no trouble all sea
son.
II think this team is on par
with that one." Gallagher says
But in order to beat Eastern.
we'll have to have a lot of
defense. Eastern has one of the
most varied T-formation attacks
I have ever seen on a high school
team"
Cornell at Quarterback.
Jack Cornell will start at quar-
terback for st. Johns, but If he
tires, Gallagher can put in Bobby
Reese, who stands 6-2 and weighs
200 pounds. Reese also is a great
basketball player.
AS of today, Gallagher's start
ing lineup for Friday reads like
this: Ends. Jack Daily and Joe
Hands: tackles, Don Shannon and
Frank Fannon; guards, Aubrey
Fennell and Franny Maloney;

Dresser Will Drop
Dodgers Production
Line in Spring Camp
BY the As.oeiaied Press

BROOKLYN, Nov. 29.-Brook-
lyn's disappointing Dodgers of
1850. especially the collapsible
pitching staff. will be put through
the wringer in 1851.
This was promised yesterday by
new Manager Charlie Dresser. who
was named to succeed Burt Shot
ton In move that surprised no
body Salary terms were not dis
closed, but 1t was reported the
figure is $4,000 a year.
I've read everywhere that
Brooklyn should have won the
pennant by 10 games last year"
Chuck told newsmen. II wouldn't
know. But can tell you this.
I'm going to find out"
Farm Clubs Report Late.
"You ask me about the pitching
staff which was such a disappoint-
ment last season." the former
Dodger coach went on. That's
something I can't answer right
now. All I know is that when ]
left the club, we had a 2O-game
winner in Ralph Branca and an
other sure-flre 20-game winner In
Rex Barney. Something happened
to them since. l don't know what
1t is. I sure aim to find out"
Dresser said he will discontinue
the Dodger policy of having the
players on all the Brooklyn farms
train together with the parent
club during the spring.
"The Brooklyn club will train
at Vero Beach, Fla, by ITSELF" he
said. mot until it leaves for
Miami on March 10 will the minor
leaguers be permitted to arrive
The Dodgers will then remain in
Miami until we head north"
Likes Pennant Chances.
Asked what he thinks of his
teams chances for 81, Chuck
laughed and replied:
II see where Leo Durocher al
ready has named us as the team
to beat. Funny thing, all the
Pacific Coast scouts have told me
that the Giants will be the team
to beat next year. However. ]
think we've got as good a chance
as anybody else to win the pen
nant.'
Dresser said he is well ac-
quainted with the Dodger per-
sonnet although it has been four
years since he served in the Ma
tlonal League. After leaving
Brooklyn in 1947 to join the
Yankees in a similar coaching
capacity. Charlie moved on to
Oakland where he managed the
past two years. He was paid
$4,000 last season at Oakland
