The majors are studying a
revolutionary change in the
structure of the minors, based
on their own needs for the de-
velopment of players, rather
than on the possibility of max
ing money or breaking even
at the lower level. Eventually
only the larger cities, grouped

Second OF Three Articles
BY JACK HAND


Baseball played the Ostrich
role for too many years, bury.
ing its head in the sand, blind.
ing itself to a changing world
While other sports whitfield
away at its dominant position
baseball sat on its fat reputa-
ton as the national pastime
Some say professional foot
ball already has caught up
Others maintain this is utter
nonsense. Golf has its boost
ers as the No. / sport. You can
get an argument for horse rae
ing. bowling, hunting, fishing
basketball.
The purpose here is to take
a hard look at baseball, ad-
rnittedly in an era Of transi-
ton. What are its problems?
How does it hope to solve
them? What does the future
hold?
Ford Frick, the commission
er, loves to point out that more
boys than ever are playing
baseball in organized leagues
Counting the Little Leagues,
American Legion baseball,
Babe Ruth Leagues, Pony
Leagues, high schools, COL
leges. CYO, semipro, industrial
and sahdlot baseball, it has
been estimated that between 5
and 6 million boys in the age
group between 10 and 20 years
actually participate in baseball
each year.
1t is at the professional level
that the slip is showing, espec-
tally in the minor leagues.

vided into two 12-club league.
or three 8-club leagues. Per.
haps $50 or ITS minor league

There is talk of seven minor
league clubs for each big league
team - one at the top level
two at the intermediate leveI
and four at the lowest level
The big league clubs work
ing with the minor league
franchises would guarantee
enough money to carry the

er would be guaranteed against
loss and given the incentive
OF profits, depending on his
initiative.
While the owners null over
these problems, you can expect
more shuffling in the minors
However. to an outsider, it is
comforting to know that some
body is thinking seriously
about these problems. It is nice
to know that baseball no longer

The STATE OF PRO BASEBALL
Plight Of Minors Is Forcing Changes

While baseball attendance
drops back from its peak years
pro football sets new highs
with each passing season.
1t must be remembered pro
football is a once-a-week sport
played by % big league clubs
GA in the National League and
eight in the American League)
Baseball is played six or seven
days a week. 1t has 18 big
league teams in 1861 and there
are 20 this year. Pro football
drew about S million last year.
The two big leagues of base
ball were just shy Of 10 mil
lion.
Baseball's major league at
tendance dropped off about S
per cent in 1861, but the fig
ures showed a healthy total of
just under 10 million, less than
2 million short of the all-time
high in 1948.
But the minors which drew
41.9, million in So leagues in
1949, shrunk to 10.9 million in
% leagues in 1861. At the latest
count only 10 are expected to
operate in 1862.
What Is baseball doing about
the plight of the minors?
Many big league officials are
not unduly excited about the
situation. They regard it as past
of a long range backing and
filling operation that will in
volve reclassification, realign-
ment and a higher degree Of
cooperation between majors
and minors on all levels.
In fact, it is quite possible
that the majors and minors
