Wagner Seeks Replacement For Dodgers NEW YORK (UP)—New York, having lost the second of its National League teams when the Dodgers officially moved to Los Angeles Tuesday, began a campaign today to get a replacement. Mayor Robert Wagner said he would appoint a committee to try to lure anotherj National League team to New York—“l hope in time for the 1958 season.” That appeared to be forlorn hope but it was possible. Under major league rules, New York still has three weeks to swing a deal, since Oct. 31 is the deadline. For a long time the Cincinnati Redlcgs were the No. 1 candidate, but now Redleg owner Powell Crosely insists he won't sell to anyone who takes the franchise out of Cincinnati. The Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies were other objectives as National League replacements, and there also was some talk that the Cleveland Indians, whose attendance is way down, might move to the borough of Queens—the Yankees arc in the Bronx—as a second American League team. Yanks Against It The Yankees, of course, are strongly opposed. They will suggest to the December meeting of the major leagues that their franchise by extended to include all the boroughs of New York City except Brooklyn. The National League will oppose that, of curse. National League President Warren Giles said last week that his league hopes to be back in New York ‘eventually.” Baseball sources generally agreed that no major league team will come into New York unless it gets a municipal stadium, such as Milwaukee has, and the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angles Dodgers will have. New York City officials are willing to provide plenty of land in

Flushing Meadow in Queens, site of the 1939 World Fair, but argue that baseball Is a private moneymaking enterprise and should build its own stadium and depend very little on the city or county. The Dodgers, wno nave been a National League team in Brooklyn since 1890, endtxi that part of their history Tuesday with a typewritten statement of 82 words handed to newsmen at the World Series press center in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The meat of the statement was simply that "stockholders and directors ... unanimously agreed that the necessary steps be taken to draft the Los Angeles territory." Dodgers Get 300 Acres At Los Angeles, the Dodgers will get 300 acres in Chavez Ravine, one mile from the heart of the city, and will build their own stadium. The city and county will build the access roads. The Dodgers get the parking concession, the city retains mineral rights if any oil 1 s found underground. In return, the Dodgers give the city of Los Angeles Wrigley Field, their Pacific Coast League farm team's home. The Dodgers also will build a public recreational area on part of Chavez Ravine. The Dodgers will play in 22.000scat Wrigley Field next season while they build their new 50,000seat stadium. They also intend to keep the name “Dodgers." The move will set off a chain of minor league realignment. Obviously the Pacific Coast League must make drastic changes, or fold up. It has lost its Lbs Angeles and San Francisco teams, and San Diego and Ssftratnento, in the shadow of the new major league teams, must give up, too. For baseball's front 'offices, the season is just starting. Trap Shoot Planned Sunday Afternoon There will be a merchandise trap shoot Sunday, at 1 p.m., at the St. Mary's and Blue Creek conservation club grounds. The dub grounds is located six miles east of Monroe on state road 124, or one mile west of Wiltshire* Ohio.
