Another Baseball Season Opens in South Tomorrow
This is the day to douse the fire in that old Hot Stove league for tomorrow baseball opens a brand-new season with Spring training under sunny southern skies.
By UNITED PRESS
It's also the last day for those major leaguers who haven't returned their contracts to sign on the dotted line before being officially tabbed as "holdouts," a word the teams reserve for players who aren't present for the first practice.
Most prominent name among the unsigned, of course, was that of thumping Ted Williams, the mystery slugger of the Boston Red Sox.
But the answer to whether the 38-year-old Williams will stay "retired" or will come back for "one more season" will be supplied by the Red Sox late today in a special press conference at Sarasota, Fla.
It seems a cinnity that the Washington Senators will have the most serious "holdout" problem when the bell rings tomorrow. New manager Charley Dressen will find the missing include such prominent team
members as infielders Mickey Vernon and Eddie Yost, outfielder Jim Busby, and the club's top pitcher, Bob Porterfield.
The Senators and Red Sox will be among 13 major league teams holding their spring drills in Florida. The other three—the world champion New York Giants, American league champion Cleveland Indians, and Chicago Cubs—will be in Arizona.
The major league teams are prevented by baseball law from starting spring training before March 1, but almost all of them have been operating "rookie schools" for promising youths for several days. The teams do not begin to play exhibition games against other until March 10.
