Dick caught for Albany's Senators last year after coming to them in a deal which also brought Ken Hilyner, second baseman to Albany and sent Bill Robertson, a catcher, to York. Under terms of the deal Czekaj reverted to the St. Louis Cardinal organization and Robertson to the Kansas City organization at the close of the season.

They like baseball. They perhaps follow his playing closely, closer perhaps than do most parents of player*. When Dick was with the Senators, his parents subscribed to at least one newspaper In all eight cities of the league. They followed Albany's 'home games In The Knicker- bocker News.

Maybe the White Sox made some kind of clerical error and had sent him the wrong contract. But no, there was his name —"James H. Landis"—neatly typed in the proper place. The 24-year-old outfielder took another look at the sal- ary figure the club offered. Wow! It seemed almost too good to be true.

And the White Sox were so proud of this one that they told -the press about it. „ Landis was instrumental in helping the White Sox finish second last season after they got off to a horrible start. Batting a sickly .184 in early June, Landis went on a bat- ting spree that carried him to .306 by the middle of July. He which i called for an estimated 15,000 raise. Then he wrote a tetter to Vicepresident Chartea finished with :277, driving in ^Ctrb starters. 64 runs and hitting 15 homers. Along with Landis, rookie pitcher Stover Mcllwain also agreed to terms with the White Sox. That makes, it' 25 down and 14 more to go for the club., v •_ Across town in Chicago, the Cubs were mighty proud, too, about becoming the first Na- tional League club to have all players signed. The Cubs accomplished the task by getting pitcher Dave Hillman to agree to terms. Hillman had a 4-8 record last year, but his 3.14 earned run average was the lowest among Detroit reported half of its players signed with the re- ceipt of contracts^from catch- er Lou Berberet and pitcher Herm Wehmeier.

Kamas City signed Jour of its players and now has 20 under contract The four who signed were outfielder Dick William* and rookies Lou Klimchock, Ken Johnson and George Brunet. Watch Klimchock! He could develop into one of the best second basement in the Ameri- can League. He batted .3S9 at Pocatello and had 25 hom- ers. The left-handed hitting rapkie played two games for the A's in September and socked a home run in one of them. The San Francisco Giants signed pitchers Curt Barc/ay and John Fitzgerald, inftelder Ben Valenzuela and catcher Roger McCardel. Those four give the Gianta a total of 29 worry they don't have to about.

Baseball Commisioner Ford Fricjk said today it is proper that pay-TV should be given a trial on a regional basis. But he added that until a thorough test is made he would not want to comment on its national significance to the game. Basil Estrich. viccpresidr; t of Skiatron, said although no cable has been laid or no sub* scribers* signed, Skiatron ex- pects to have 100,000 sub- scribers receiving service at the stort of what he called a long-term operation.

Dick caught for Albany's Senators last year after coming to them in a deal which also brought Ken Hilyner, second baseman to Albany and sent Bill Robertson, a catcher, to York. Under terms of the deal Czekaj reverted to the St. Louis Cardinal organization and Robertson to the Kansas City organization at the close of the season.

Czekaj, t likeable guy, has been playing winter ball with the Puebla Pericoa in Mexico and apparently has been pitying well...,: _ , • • _ • • . ^

JDick'a parents are proud of their son. They like baseball. They perhaps follow his playing closely, closer perhaps than do most parents of player*. When Dick was with the Senators, his parents subscribed to at least one newspaper In all eight cities of the league. They followed Albany's 'home games In The Knicker­bocker News.

O u t f i e l d e r Jim Landis thought it was a mistake.

Maybe the White Sox made some kind of clerical error and had sent him the wrong contract.

But no, there was his name —"James H. Landis"—neatly typed in the proper place.

The 24-year-old outfielder took another look at the sal­ary figure the club offered. Wow! It seemed almost too good to be true.

Landis quickly got hold of a pen and signed the contract

raise was so "substantial" that he simply couldn't express his appreciation on paper.

Brother, they just don't write letters like that any more. And the White Sox were so proud of this one that they told -the press about it. „

Landis was instrumental in helping the White Sox finish second last season after they got off to a horrible start. Batting a sickly .184 in early June, Landis went on a bat­

ting spree that carried him to .306 by the middle of July. He

pitcher Stover Mcllwain also agreed to terms with the White Sox. That makes, it' 25 down and 14 more to go for the club., v •_

Across town in Chicago, the Cubs were mighty proud, too, about becoming the first Na­tional League club to have all players signed.

The Cubs accomplished the task by getting pitcher Dave Hillman to agree to terms. Hillman had a 4-8 record last

year, but his 3.14 earned run average was the lowest among

Detroit reported half of its players signed with the re­ceipt of contracts^from catch­er Lou Berberet and pitcher Herm Wehmeier. Berberet was obtained from Boston in a December deal. Wehmeier, who h;d a 1-0 record with the Tigers last season, reported his arm felt good again fol­lowing an off-season opera: tion.

Kamas City signed Jour of its players and now has 20 under contract The four who signed were outfielder Dick

William* and rookies Lou Klimchock, Ken Johnson and George Brunet.

Watch Klimchock! He could develop into one of the best second basement in the Ameri­can League. He batted .3S9 at Pocatello and had 25 hom­ers. The left-handed hitting rapkie played two games for the A's in September and socked a home run in one of them.

The San Francisco Giants signed pitchers Curt Barc/ay and John Fitzgerald, inftelder Ben Valenzuela and catcher Roger McCardel. Those four give the Gianta a total of 29

There was no word* from either Mickey Mar*t% or Whitey Ford, but the Yankees did sign Catchers Darre;i Johnson and John Blanchard. So far, the world champs have signed only 10 players.

PRAISE FOR EX-SENATOR—The headline, freely trans­lated, says: "Czekaj evens it in 8th, Bankhead wins it in 9th." The subhead says "Dramatic Finish Yesterday—To­day Free Admission for Ladies." The story went on to

New York (AP)—San Fran­cisco and Los Angeles, major league baseball's youngest franchises, today were being viewed as testing grounds for the most significant business move in the National game since somebody first passed the hat around an open field.

That would be the televising of major league games on a pay-as-you-see basis. As out­lined to the Associated Press yesterday „by, jjkialrp^L _ of AmencaTThe su Description TV plan is being readied for in­troduction in the two Pacific coast cities about July 1.

Baseball Commisioner Ford Fricjk said today it is proper that pay-TV should be given a trial on a regional basis. But he added that until a thorough test is made he would not want

to comment on its national significance to the game.

Basil Estrich. viccpresidr; t of Skiatron, said although no cable has been laid or no sub* scribers* signed, Skiatron ex­pects to have 100,000 sub­scribers receiving service at the stort of what he called a long-term operation.

That's where the frustration comes in," Dick's famee explained to Kelly. "xMy son is playing winter ball in Puebla. He's a hero down there. He's getting all kinds of headlines and write-ups in the papers. We've got the papers. But we can't underslaM-Wjiat Jhey„sayJ!-

They have their son's popularity, however. American. press associations recently carried stories about a catcher/Czeiaj, "setting a Mexican recorct by hit­ting two home runs in one inning, plus a round-Tripper that was the longest ever seen in. the bull fight country.
