Mats Give porterfieId
And RunneIs Stable
Increases for 1853

Pitcher Bob Porterfield and
|Shortstop Pete Runnels, two of
the Mats top performers last sea-
son. have signed 1853 contracts
lat "sizable" increases. Vice Presi-
dent Calvin Griffith announced
last night.
As usual, the club released no
salary figures. All contracts have
been mailed. but no other sign
ings were announced.
Porterf1eld became the hard
luck champion of the American
League last summer as he COM
piled 1914 record. Manager
Bucky Harris rated him as his
No. / pitcher. and he finished
seventh In the league in earned
run averages with a 2.73 mark.
But the tall, 29-year-old vir-
ginian could not get a break. One
run defeats became a habit. and
in seven of the games he lost the
Mats failed to get any runs for
him.
In one game, against Detroit's S
Virgil Trucks. Washington-bat-
ters didn't even get hit. Twice
the Mats backed up Porterfield
with only one hit, and another
time they got three.
Porterfield had a 9-8 record in
1851, when he was traded to the
Mats by the Yankees. Thus. the
big right-hander has only an even
mark for the last two seasons. al
though he is acknowledged to be
one Of the best in the league.
RunnelS led the clubs regulars
in batting with .285. passing the
slumping Jackie Jensen in the
closing weeks of the season. Pete,
who will be Is years old this
month, developed into one of the
leagues better shortstops.
Runnels might have won rookie
of-the-year honors if the Mats had
not called him up from Chatta-
nooga in time to play Is games in
1851. He batted .278 in that half
season, but was erratic.
He had two distinctions last
year which he would like to forget.
"A line-drive hitter, he had only
one home run-a drive that
bounced off Outfielder Joe Glynn's
glove in Cleveland. And he won a
place in the record book. along
with Boston's Ted Williams and
Chicago's Eddie Robinson. as the
only players to play $50 games
and fail to steal a base.
But. Pete is anything but slow,
and Harris regard for his hitting
ability is reflected in the fact that
Runnels batted cleanup much OF
the time last year.

IF television is bad, cut it out

"On one football Saturday.

"The NCAA started out as an

guard of the Notre Dame basket
ball team that meets Holy Cross

After admitting he had secuted
Holy Cross and knew what to ex-

"I was an assistant football

Krause explained. "I prevailed

how broadly they should be tele-

the game. If this rule were fol-

thing else communicated by tele-

be honored.
S. We believe public interest
generally follows the same pattern
that obtains regarding other
events on television. The public
interest is local. regional and ma
tional. If the four networks and
local television stations would CO.
operate with obvious public in
terest as the season develops each
fall, it would be possible to have
football telecasts of as many as
so schools each Saturday, and
hundreds each season. The game

number of smaller games could
be covered by local stations. With
the differential in time. there

would meet with wide approval
from the now long-suffering pub
lie which has generously sup
ported the present growth Of foot
ball. We believe any attendance
loss will eventually be offset by
television revenue and by new
fans developed through television.
Educational Opportunity.
Z. We believe this television COW
erage would give many colleges
and universities a wonderful OPP
portunity to present their edu-
cational programs to wide audi
ence of the people whose support
they need.
8. We believe this plan allows
for wider participation Of the
schools and the public in the
benefits Of both television and
football. It puts the emphasis on
public interest, operating through
the networks and local stations,
as the selector of many programs
each week, rather than allowing q
small committee to decide during

has begun, what few games the
general public will be allowed te

advocate the same control for
