Mexican Stars Not Big League Timber Not Suitable For American Baseball Mexico City. May 18- (UP)— Aim-rlcan baseball magnates who hope to pick up rt placements for their drafted players in Mexico ar.- only plpedreamlng. Alejandro Aqullar Reyes, founder of the Mexican baseball league, points out that such owners are nattering Mexico and fooling themselves. The Mexican expert says there are many obstacles to such a scheme, lln adds that quality Is not one of them. Reyes says one if the greatest obstacles is the language barrier which few Mexican ball players can overcome. Then, too. they are used to a three-game* a-week schedule and find the additional games In the United States a decided physical strain. Homesickness is another barrier that Is difficult to eliminate Reyes believes only one out of every 2t» Mexican players going to the United States would make good. All in all. the baseball situation In Mexico is more inviting to the Mexican player. He plays only Tim'.-day*. Saturdays and Sundays and practlc.s on Tuesday. The top salary la 1450 a month, and the average Is around $l7O. The Mexican baseball set-up is so inviting to players from other countries that the league bigwigs were fore, d to put a limit on the number of foreign players with each club. The limit this year Is six. one more than last year's standard. Reyes says If American baseball mogu)s can mutch the leisurely playing conditions prevailing in Mexico, baseball In the United Blates will profit. But at th.- moment, he says. Il isn't likely to work out.
