PHOENIX, Ariz. R - The first

Lefty o'Doul, the old big league

Coast League manager, officially
named them the Tokyo Giants on
one of his trips out there years
ago. There is no japanese equiva-

the clubs original uniforms bore
both words, it would have looked
silly to have one in japanese and
the other in English.

players were smaller in those days
than they are now and the
"Giants" kept sliding down under
the belts. But they stuck with the

Laser Not Legal


Il you think Key West is uni
que when various baseball enter
prises have run afoul of local
laws, consider the plight some
st. Louis Cardinal farm clubs
have found themselves in since
that organization was purchased
By the Annheuser-Busch Co., who
happen to be in the business of
manufacturing beer.
Il seems that some state laws,
prohibit the sale of suds in ball
parks owned by breweries. Just
why, we don't know but the law
ID there and it IS going to hit
the clubs hard. because it is
pretty common knowledge that
you can't operate a baseball club
on gate admissions alone con-
ceSsion revenue is muchO impor-
tant to the financial well-being Of
any baseball operation.
An inkling of Just how it will
affect the picture can be had
when you consider that the Roch-
ester, New York franchise, un-
loads some 10000 cases of beer
in Red Wing Stadium annually
and that is lot Of beer. They
are currently studying the pro-
blem from the legal angle. And
clubs in Columbus, Ohio, Omaha,
Nebraska, and Houston, Texas
are also up against the same sit
uation.
Oddly enough, the Cardinals are
not affected in st. Louis they
lease the stadium from the st.
Louis Browns. AS a matter Of
fact, rival brewery holds the
contract for the radio broadcast

however - it is Still legal to carry

we'll wager that the ticket lines
