Continental League’s fate tested after draft bill defeat
In New York AP report President Branch Rickey and Bill Shea weigh Continental League plans after the Senate killed a bill to open major league rosters to an unrestricted draft. The measure would have forced yearly draft exposure for players with four Minor League years, jeopardizing the fledgling league. Meanwhile five youths in Florida rang a replica Liberty Bell on the state capitol grounds and received court-ordered punishment.

South Portland Hurler Dominates Junior Legion in 3-0 Win
South Portland pitcher Dick Loubier blanked Owen Davis Post of Saco 3-0 in a Tri-County league clash. Loubier scattered four hits, walked no one, and fanned five in a pitching duel with Paul Chenard of Biddeford until the eighth. Chenard walked a batter, then issued another, and a Texas league single that bounced over Guerin’s head produced the first run, followed by a two-run bunt miscue for the final margin.
