Dodgers May Use Wrigley Field Until Permanent Park Completed; Texas A&M Considers Erdelatz

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13--Walter O'Malley's melodramatic search for a home for his waifs from Brooklyn produced another cliff-hanging episode today. The Dodgers almost made it to Wrigley Field, only to halt on the threshhold.

The long hunt for a home-away-from-home for the Dodgers while their permanent park is being built seemed to have ended in the former minor league home of the Los Angeles Angels. Then the Dodgers' rotund president gave the O'Malley-go-round another spin.

After announcing he felt "constrained to select Wrigley Field as the site for the, 1958 major league games" of the Dodgers, O'Malley told reporters clamoring for more information that he is still in contact with Los Angeles officials on the possibility of using the 100,000-seat Coliseum.
