If there is any doubt as to the age of an individual, his birth certificate must be presented. 2. Entry Fee; To be established later. 3. Forfeit Fee of $10 is to be deposited at Mark's Sports Store when team is entered in the League.

According to a story in The Sporting News, Veock, it is said, will attempt to raise $4,000,000 from the advance sale of parking -sp^e privileges and radio and televiMon rights for Los Angeles games.^his would enable him to "go into business" in buying out Wrigley's interest in the Pacific Coast League club and satisfy any claims against the territory, and also renovate the park and increase the capacity to 55,000 by the. addition of 28,000 more seats. -• Veeck is reported to have received the assurance of the American League, possibly through the help of Del Webb of the Yankees, that two more missing their big chance because they'i e not putting in enough time studying their profession, not thinking about how they can improve from day. to day or game to game. "The door to the majors is wide open to the boy vvitn ability, confidence and the right bear-down attitude." Signed IS Year* Ago In Camp For First Time Thirteen years ago Pitcher Pete Wojciechowski (Wo] jey> was signed by the Dodgers for their farm system.

Possibly in all minors. It is very simple. Both these clubs are selling season tickets--- they call them season passes -- for $10.

It » i^ot known what goals :hav^ been 'sei, but fans in both " cities are going for the deal. It is, says The Sporting News, obviously, the greatest bargain in baseball. despite the fact that the American League was reported to have shelved a proposal, made during the Atlanta meetings, to expand to ten clubs. If the elaborate plan jells according to formula, Webb eventually would* take over the Los Angeles holdings, once Veeck has developed the entire setup, and with funds from this sale. Bill would move or to San Francisco, where he would put into operation the tenth American League franchise to comply with the stipulation that the A.L. will go west only if two cities are thrown cpen to it.
