The piece argues the program is strictly amateur though many players jump teams. It covers Keith Williamson’s move from Pratt to Great Bend, Tincher’s stance on releases, and garden city jumps.

Dodgers Chief Defends Lengthy Baseball Games
Walter F. O'Malley, Dodgers president, says fan complaints about long games are partly valid but not a major evil. He cites traffic, parking, and crowded venues as gate-impeding issues, notes a one and a half hour game feels short, and argues entertainment value justifies longer games. He compares baseball to theatre and cites a three and a half hour Dodgers-Giants game as a crowd-pleasing spectacle.
