J- i I. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1962 iijiiiiiiuiiii ilwWj -J i WALTER JOHNS i Central Press Sports 1 Editor mm Hit CINCY CAPTAIN Alan" Move i i I IT SEEMS like the World Series just ended it did, for we only recently saw the official films of the classic and here we are about to start another long baseball -season asi the clubs get ready to go to spring training. Many of the star players aren't signed yet, of course, but first squads are reporting in Florida and Arizona as early; as February 16, which is getting close. Because of the addition of the new teams, two last year and two more this season, the major league schedules have been moved up, too, with opening game set for April 9, in Washington, at the new stadium. There have been some changes made, In the training bases, and also in the number of night games, which are up again.

And some will be doubleheaders. Travel will take the athletes all around the country for the Southwest now will be represented in the National League in the entry of Houston. The new season will mark the opening of the long-talked-about and much-politicked new Dodgers' stadium in the Chavez Ravine in L.A., and this will house both O'Malley's boys and the Angels of the American loop. The Houston Colts will play in a stadium which will be completed April li A domed stadium will house the club in 1963. THE ORIOLES, Red Sox, White Sox, Indians, Tigers, A's, Angels, Twins and Senators will train at the same bases as last year, but the Yankees, long at St.

Petersburg, have shifted operations to the other Florida coast, at Fort Lauderdale, where first squad will report February 18. Taking over at St. Pete, along with the Cards, will be the new New York N. L. club, the Mets, which puts Casey Stengel back at his old stand with a time out for last year when he stayed in his Glendale, bank.

In the N.L., the Colts will do their training at Apache Junction, so that now there will be six clubs in the West. 'J IF THE CUBS have a successful season, according to a recent announcement by Phil Wrigley, lights may be installed at Wrigley Field, the last stronghold of daylight baseball in the majors. However, Wrigley still is agin night ball, but wants the lights so that day games finishing1 late can have the benefit of some artificial illumination. TO DRUM UP business and to counteract all that talk about baseball losing out to pro football, many of the clubs are arranging area-wide city visits. The Colts, for example, will drop in at 18 cities in Texas with a contingent of players and officials.
