Associated Press story headed Flick of Wrist Tells Max Carey If a Girl Has Baseball Talent, reporting from Newark that Max Carey, former Brooklyn Dodger manager and National League base-stealing record holder, scouts for the All-American Girls' Baseball League, the only feminine professional baseball circuit in the country. Next Monday 180 of Carey's finds convene at Miami for spring training at Opa Locka. Grand Rapids Chicks shortstop Teeny Petras describes training days from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Players earn 55 to 100 dollars a week and wear short athletic skirts, knee-length socks, baseball caps and spiked shoes. Slacks are out, but lipstick is a must, Carey said.
