Deadlock Indicated
In Naming New Czar
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.— (AP)—There were indications
today that a deadlock is developing among the 16 major
league baseball club owners over the election of a new
commissioner. This could pave the way for choice of a
darkhorse candidate. T g
The owners meet in Chicago
Sept. 20 legally empowered to elect
a successor to A. B. Chandler in
the game’s top job, paying $65,000
or $75,000 yearly.
At the meeting in New York
Aug. 21 the field was winnowed
down to five men:
General Douglas MacArthur.
Milton Eisenhower, president of
Pennsylvania State College.
Ford Frick, president of the Na
tional league.
Warren, Giles, president of the
Cinelnnnfl Reds.
Frank J. Lausche, governor of
Dhio.
It is beginning to look as if none
of these, even if available could
command the 12 votes needed for
election. - . 2
In the darkhorse iield are two
well known figures who for one
reasan or another were not in
cluded among the five that repre
sented the choice of the baseball
powers. These are James A. Far-'

’Barna Sets
jPace As Vols
Trim Chicks
ick
| By The Associated Press
- The*Nashville Vols, in the Sou
thern Association first division
today for the first time in more
than a month, give most of the
credit for their rise to 36-year-old
Babe Barna.
Big Babe, oldest regular in the
circuit—not counting the pitchers
—provided the lion’s share of the
stickwork as the Vols copped 10
of their last 13 games. The pay
off came last night when they
used a pair of big innings to trim
Memphis, 7-6, and leap over the
Chicks into fourth place.
Barna doubled and singled,
drove in three runs and scored
one to pace the Vols’ 11-hit at
tack.
Birmingham edged the Mobile
Bears, 3-2; Liittle Rock thumped
the Chattanooga Lookouts, 8-6;
and Atlanta topped New Orleans,
7-6. -
Little Rock maintained its nine
game league lead by pushing over
four runs in the top of the ninth
to conquer Chattanooga.
A two-run homer by Marv
Rackley, his sixth, ended Bir
minghanr's worst losing streak of
the year. The Barons had dropped
seven straight and seemed to be
well on the way to No. 8 when the
slight outfielder drove a Gil Mills
fast ball into ‘the seats in the
eighth inning.

Dod Climb Back
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Is this a pitchers’ vear? Look what happened yesterday.
Early Wynn protected Cleveland’s one-game lead over
the New York Yankees in the American League by besting
Philadelphia’s Sam Zoldak in a 1-0 hurling duel. A home
run by Bob Kennedy settled the issue.
I Brooklyn increased its National
League lead to six games as rookie
Clem Labine outpitched Cincin
nati’s Howie Fox, 3-1, while Pitts
burgh’s Howie Pollet blanked
Sheldon Jones and the runner-upJ
\ New York Giants, 2-0, to end their
16-game winning streak. |
Max Lanier of the St. Louis
Cards shut out Bubba Church and
the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-0, and
Omar Lown of the Chicago Cubs
whitewashed Chet Nichols and the
Boston Braves, 1-0.
The highest run total was made
by the Yankees, who defeated the
St. Louis Browns, 7-5 in 10 in
nings and they needed 13 walks by
Tommy Byrne. The Detroit Tigers
nipped the third place Boston Red
Sox, 5-4. . Chicago’'s White Sox
took a 4-3 decision from Washing
ton in 10 innings.
12th Straight |
A seventh inning home run by
Kennedy gave Cleveland its 12th
straight triumph over the Athle
tics.
A crowd of 23,573 watched
Wynn register his 15th victory.
That brought Cleveland’s home at
tendance to 1,501,187, tops in the
majors. Wynn gave up five hits
to four for Zoldak.
Byrne’s 13th walk, a pair of
fielder's choices, a long fly by Joe
DiMaggio and a single by Charlie
Silvera furnished the winning
Yankee runs in the 10th.
A prilliant pitching exhibition by
Pollent ended the Giants’ 16-game
winning streak, longest in the Na
tional League since 1935. It took
two unearned Pittsburgh runs,
however, to cool off the New
Yorkers.
Pollet, however, deserved the
victory. He struck out four, walk
ed none and retired 17 men in suc
céssion. He gave up six hits, three
of them to Bobby Thomson.
Snider Homers
Duke Snider batted in all
Brooklyn’s runs with a fourth in
ning single and an eighth inning
homer. Howard Fox, who has not
beaten Brooklyn since 1948, drop
ped his ninth straight to the league
leaders. .
George Kell bounced a two-run
single off the shoulder of rookie
third baseman Mel Hoderlein in
the eighth to give the Tigers their
decision over the Red Sox.
Ray Coleman’s double scored
‘Nelson Fox with the run that gave
the White Sox their 10th inning
victory over Washington.

Gavilan Rated
13-5 Favorite
In Title Bout
By MURRAY ROSE
NEW YORK, Aug. 29 — (AP)
— Welterweight champion Kid
Gavilan, confident and at the
peak of his form, was rated a
13-5 favorite to whip Billy Gra
ham of New York in their 15-
round title bout at Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Although he lost one split de
cision to Graham and won the
same way in the return, the
flashy Cuban has been made the
big choice on the strength of his
recent form.
The 15-year old Gaviian is raid
ing a ten-fight winning streak
which began with his revenge
victory over Graham on Nov. 17,
1950. Graham had edged the color
ful Cuban nine months before.
While Gavilan has been busy
fighting himself into top condition,
Garham has been sitting on the
sidelines waiting for his title shot.
Once a very active campaigner—
he’s had 103 pro fights —Billy
has had only one tuneup this year.
He beat a guy named Billy Jenkins
at North Adams, Mass., on Aug. 9.
This will be Gavilan’s first title
defense since he won the crown
by trouncing Johnny Bratton in
the Garden on May 18. A crowd
of around 9,000 is expected to pay
around $40,000 at a sl2 top.
The gross gate undoubtedly will
be smaller than the $50,000, fee
for the radio and television rights.
For those who go for boxing
science, tonight’s show should be
a honey. Graham boxes in the
classic style, featuring a fast left
jab and a short right to the body.
The kid, fast with his feet and
hands, depends heavily on his
left hook and flashy left-right
combinations.
