CONTROL OF
DODGERS IS
BIG ISSUE
BROOKLYN, Oct. 25— JP>—Let’s
take a long shot gamble on the
Brooklyn picture for 1951.
PeeWee Reese, manager. Fresco!
Thompson, general manager, Walter
O'Malley, president.
Branch Rickey? Running the
show at Pittsburgh.
They ran off the second chapter
yesterday in the serial entitled
"What happens to Rickey?” Now
the answer is supposed to come to
morrow.
One thing came out of yesterday’s
second press conference in two days,
O’Malley and Mrs. John L. Smith
are going to buy out Rickey and
take control of the Dodgers.
The price, reported to be $1,050,000
with $50,000 ticketed for William
Zeckendorf as a “commitment fee,"
means the Dodgers are worth over
$4,000,000. Rickey’s share was only
25 percent.
O’Mahey, presiding at a press
conference at which Thompson,
Brooklyn farm director, was an
interested spectator, shed no light
on Rickey’s future.

gan, a former Pacific Coast league

pended by Odell yesterday for one
