Narleski Signs with Indians in 1958 Contract
Ray Narleski signed a 1958 contract with the Cleveland Indians after an 11-5 combined record as starter and reliever last season. The 29 year old right hander accepted a salary believed above 20 000 while hinting at a dual role this year. General manager Frank Lane had floated Narleski in a trade to the Yankees for Bobby Richardson and another pitcher, but the deal collapsed.

O'Malley Proposes Dodgers Move With 250 Foot Foul Lines

A 440 foot center field wall and a 40 foot screen over the left field wall would deter cheap homers while avoiding removal of Coliseum seats.
