Spaulding Seeks To Break Baseball Pact
New York AP Spaulding Co. seeks to end its 10 year baseball ball contract with the major leagues by December 1961. Edwin L. Parker says the firm loses money on the deal and proposed price hikes and fewer free balls, but these ideas were rejected. The contract runs through 1967 and teams use about 850 dozen balls per season with only a quarter paid for. Wholesale price is 21 per dozen and retail is 3.25 per ball.
