The controversial owner disclosed in a recent interview that he has urged an immediate meeting of American League club owners to compel erecting of screens in Yankee Stad. lum‘s left and right ficlld corners to mako them equivalent to flirt-foot foul lines.

Finley says he asked for the meeting in a March 20 letter to league pi'csith‘nl Jim Ci'cnin. Ionicnding the \'ankees' 296- fo.t right field and illllfoot left field foul lines are “grossly unfair” to thc lca-ziic's cilici' nine clubs . sand the baseball code required any new stadium il‘lif‘l‘ 19.311 to lia\c :1 mm mum of T5 feel from hcme pliiic iii the nearest fence Although Baltimore‘s oi al shaped \Ivm'n‘nl St'idiiim hiis Hill—foot foul lilies. he said, the back- in: w“! s are N It‘t‘l hilh I "livery park except \‘ankcc Stadium has retaining walls measured in feet."

“Through the years the Yankees have had I'lll'iI hitter! in take advantage of those shan tout lines —- Ruth. Selkirk. Heurich. .\li7c. Berra. Mantle. Maris and Howard. The Yankces‘ playlng field advantage is one of the greatest Iniiistices in the history of American sport."

The bounty on foxes was put on during a period when their pells had no takers at any price. Top for sale prices stood around the fifty cent mark.
