Major Leagues Draft 1952 Prospects Include Bevens and Schmees
Eleven big league clubs staged a rare draft selecting 17 minor league players for a total cost of 159000. Notables include Cincinnati Reds choice Floyd Bevens and St Louis Browns pick George Schmees who batted .328 with 26 homers for Montreal last season. The draft favors younger players with most having spent their careers in the minors. Six PCL players were chosen, with the list topped by Bevens who had revived form in Salem Oregon last year. The exercise sets a possible cap on future acquisitions and mirrors prior record expenditures for early rounds and bonuses.

Thanksgiving Date Settled By Law For Fourth Thursday
A historical note on Thanksgiving dates explains the shift from last Thursday to the fourth Thursday. President Roosevelt briefly proposed the third Thursday in 1939 to extend the shopping season, but Congress ultimately formalized the fourth Thursday as Thanksgiving. Early observances trace to Plymouth and New England colonies with a mix of annual and irregular celebrations through the 17th and 18th centuries.
