Perrin Halls Nj Move
For Expansion Study

BALTIMORE. July 8 tR.--
The National League is going
to devote serious. good. sensi-
Bile thinking" to the idea Of
expanding from 8 to 10 base
ball teams, according to Lou
Perrin. owner Of the Braves.
You can take that as gospel,
since he's been one Of the most
ardent exponents OF increasing
the membership. And he has
shown the National League, at
least. that a change is profit
able.
Perrin moved the Braves
from Boston to Milwaukee six
years ago. 1t was the first time
a National League team lifted
stakes since 1900. The Braves
hiked the league attendance
record last year to, 2.2i5.404
and won the World Series.
This year, the Dodgers and
Giants were tranSplanted from
New York to California and the
scanning Of new horizons in
baseball resembles the race to
shoot rockets to the moon.
Perrin is all for it.
"The country is ready for
expansion. The question is
whether baseball is" he says.
He indorsed the action of the
National League yesterday in
authorizing President Warren.
Giles to name a committee of
three to study feasibility of the
expansion.
The resolution was prompted
by the appearance before the
league of Mayor Robert Wagner
Of New York and the chairman
of his committee to replace the
void left by the Dodgers and
Giants.
They assured the league that.
If it would provide a franchise.
the city would come UP with

$l2 million to build a stadium
seating $4,000.
Il feel definitely we have to
get a franchise back in New
York City. If only because it's
the nerve center Of the world" I"
Perrin said.
A 10th team would have to
be added to avoid complex
schedules. Perrin said he is
heartily in favor Of a sugges-
ton that a Canadian location
be added, preferably Toronto
over Montreal.

Ernie Mehl. Kansas City Star:
"On the first trip OF the Ath-

ball city. The present regime
has done absolutely nothing to
improve the situation"
Louis Effrat. New York
Times: THE trouble with base
ball is that these days no one
talks baseball. If it isn't golf,
it's horses, and if it isn't horses
it's business. Take today's ALL

about that. Eyeryone's talking

Minneapolis
WeIIPrepared
For Franchise

MINNEAPOLIS, July 8 (Spe-'
ciall.-Of the numerous cities
soliciting the transfer of the
Washington franchise. or any
other, Minneapolis is the best
prepared with physical facili-
ties. 1t could have. ready for
ues, a 10000 seat stadium by
the opening of the next base
ball season.
Minneapolis has been active
lily soliciting a major league
franchise for six years. Early in
its campaign it was assured by
major league officials that the
first city to have a stadium in
being would have the best
chance to become q major
league city, 1t was pointed out
that many cities sought fran
chises. but none offered facili-
I ties.
A committee Of Minneapolis
citizens launched a drive
which quickly raised $2.500, 900
Through the sale of revenue
bonds. This was in line with
the determination to build the
stadium by private enterprise.
Free Of Taxation
Under a Minnesota law, pri-
vately financed projects of this
sort are free of taxation if
used primarily for recreation.
Grading started in the sum-
mer of 1856. Actual construc-
ton did not start until October
Of that year. Through the
coldest winter in generation
and in spite OF two fires. one
doing $3.50. 900 in damage, the
stadium was completed in time
for opening day in 1856.
This steel structure had l5.-
00O seats, bleachers added 5000
more. Thus the city stood in
readiness to add two steel
wings to the existing structure
on short notice. Plans for
financing the additions have
been completed.
The stadium is the only
triple-deck. post-free structure
In baseball. Because OF its
cantilever construction there is
abundant promenade and con-
cession space behind the seats.
Expansion to any desired
size could proceed rapidly for
the reason that all basic facili-
ties for operation are COM
pleted.
Offices, dressing rooms, power
plant, wells, commiSsary, sta
dium club, ramps useable to
reach the projected wings are
all there.
Ample Parking Facilities
This is the only existing
stadium which can park on
stadium property enough cars
to fill 10000 seats. The COM
mission owns 200 acres in a
square in which the stadium is
centered.
The property lies al. the point

That seemed TO be the pre-
vailing sentiment. but one offi.
cial said: Don't be too sure
that major league baseball will
leave Washington. There are a
lot Of people who wouldn't want
to see it happen.
In the latter category are
several lawmakers who lost no
time in making their positions
known.
Senator LANCER, Republican
|of North Dakota, declared there
ought TO be an investigation.
Senator Mundt, Republican OF
South Dakota, said talk of de-
Ipriving congressman and their
neighbors of big league baseball
might cause second thoughts
about the sports bill pending in
the Senate.
Hearings Tomorrow
The measure would allow pro
baseball, football, basketball
and hockey plenty Of freedom
to operate while subjecting
their commercial activities to
the antitrust laws. The House
already has passed 1t, and q
Senate subcommittee begins
hearings tomorrow.
Senator Beall, Republican Of
Maryland, sent a message OF
protest to VIII Harridge, league
president.
The tactics Of getting Minnie
apolis hot and bothered about
landing a franchise twice in re-
cent months is not endearing
Griffith to at least one i'm
portant figure in that sector.
