Minneapolis bids for major league team hit by bond delay
Minneapolis and St Paul race to land a big league franchise as bonds for expanding Metropolitan Stadium face postponement. The Minneapolis board of estimates delayed a 22 million plan to enlarge seating from 21 000 to 41 000 while St Paul pressed its own bid, deepening Twin Cities rivalry. Pedro Ramos shut out the Yankees for the Senators in Washington as both cities push for a franchise.

Price Wins to Even Babe Ruth Playoff Series
Price Electric beat Rotary 14-5 to even the 1958 Babe Ruth playoff at one game each. The game finished Friday after darkness halted play Thursday in the sixth. Price tallied five runs in the second, two in the fourth, five in the fifth and two in the seventh. Rotary’s four-run fourth inning was the high point for them as Bayles, Stone, Fisher, and Hueting led the hitting with three-for-four showings. Hueting and Zimmerman each collected a double. Bayles added three hits for Price. The column also addresses an anonymous letter policy and local baseball promotion tensions in Minneapolis and St Paul.
