Wide WoiW Sports Columnist
NEW YORK, Aug. H.-It was a
(censored) day and it seemed like
a good idea to contact our friend
Ford Frick and try to needlehim
to . nice, juicy quote about
'something or other pertaining to
his National league, as when the
(censored) prevents any outdoor
activity the best bet for a story is
aome gent' in authority, such as a
league president, or a polk"130'
or an MP. .
We had no difficulty in locat
ing Mr. Trick, as his office num
ber was in the telephone book
and Mr. Frick was in his office,
and we wasted little time coming
to the point. - ,
Did Ton notice," we asked
Stenrel said
the umpires let the Dodgers ret
away with murder, and tnat
your new rule making the man
agers responsible for bean balls
would make umpires out of the
managers?" .
-. "Yep."
- That was encouraging. He had
noticed. We gave him the other
barrel.
"And did you see," we prod
ded, "where MacPhall says you
don't want the Dodgers to win
the pennant, and that If pltch
r atart throwing bean balls
Vat his players Ms pitchers will
i throw them back two for one?"
"Yep."
Well ...?'
There was a brief pause of five
minutes or so for station identin-
cation, after which Mr. Frick said
cryptically:
"Do you remember what a
howl there was when we put In
the rule barring managers from
I arguing over balls and strikes?
Well, yon don't hear any more
howls, do you? And the rule
works, doesnt it? Well "
you get the idea atonce. When
ever any new rule is adopted
which interferes with a manager's
life, liberty and pursuit of um
pires or curbs in any way his self
given right to make a travesty of
a fine game, the yelps, can be
heard in a boiler factory. When
- that doesn't do any good, the yelps
dwindle to a whimper, and then
stony silence.
Frick Cagey Gent
A cagey gent is Mr. Frick. He's
a slim, wiry fellow with dark, in
tent eyes and a nice crop of bushy,
grey-flecked hair, and he looks
younger than his years.
; He is smart enough to ignore
the pot-shots aimed at him by
I mouthy, publicity-stimulated pi
lt cluh official and would-
builrt-'em, we - wreck - 'em citi
xens'who do a great job of run
n 1 n g everybody's business but
their own-
If Mr. Frick undertook acoun--ntof1r
tVioc rahhle - rotisins
K(-WVM
charges he would have to issue
bulletins everr five minutes, like
he was keeping score on the prog
ress of the death of an esteemed
eitizen. He wouldn't have time to
plaster fines oh the bad boys,
much less to curl. Mr. Frick is
Quite adept at tne ancient bcouisn
pastime of curling, a sport in
which the players instead of the
umpires use the brooms. Other
wise it isn't a bit like baseball.
Mr. Frick Is on one of those
unenviable spots where we get
. n coming ana going, inere h a
clamor that he do something to
" enrb bean-balling In his league.
He does something which from .
: here seems quite logical Imme-
Af lt la Miiiid nnAH tiv
those who wonl4 suffer most If
the bean-balling continued, ex
clusive of the beaned batter, of '
course. They want something
done, but net at their expense. -All
this doesn't mean that Mr.
Frick is always right as the truth.
He's made blunders, even as you
and I. But he'a always in there
trying and we think his batting
average is pretty good.
And he has lo face some pret
tv wild Ditching." too. His critics
really aim at his head. t

had chased across five tallies,
the current series.
Tall Ron Smith tailed into
the last half of the ninth after
surviving a home run with the
bases loaded by Catcher Ray
Spurgeon in the fourth inning,
and three other single tallies,
hut his wildness and three hits
brought George Babich In with
the score at 11-10, Morry Ab
bott on second base and one
out.
Babich walked Joe Brovia and
Manager Pip Koehler, batting for
Dave Molitor. forced Brovia at
second, sending Abbott to third.
Koehler then stole second stand
ing up .and set the stage for this
same Spurgeon to lash a drive
into right field to score the tieing
and winning run.
Salem had given starter Earl
Porter a bad time through sev
en innings, compiling six runs,
when in the eighth the Solons
cut loose with a five-run bar
rage which chased Porter and
brought in Fred Bradley. Brad
ley retired the side in the ninth
and got credit for the win.
The Senators buthit the Tigers,
16 to 15, but couldn't cope with
the wallop in Spurgeon's blud
geon.
Tacoma's win, coupled with
Vancouver's loss at Spokane,
brought the Tigers to within three
games of the Caps. Salem sunk
to a bare percentage point above
the Indians and the league dun
geon. -i
Morry Abbott, the league's
home run leader, kept up his terr
rific clouting with four hits in as
many tries to pace the victors, and
one of the blows was his 14th cir
cuit smash of the season.
. Salem's five run splurge was
largely made possible by dou
bles by Phil Salstrom and Sam
Taormina and a triple by Jack
Richards. Two singles, one' by
Curly Robbe and the' other by
Smith, were sandwiched in.

two-undef par 68-good for a five
stroke lead at the half-way mark
in the $5000 Times-Union oiien." i
TJnmndful ef the big gallery '
which followed him, the slender
Texas shotmaker fashioned 34s
on .the outgoing and incoming
nines which, combined j with .
Thursday's six-under par (4,
gave him a 36-hole total of
132, five strokes ahead of Har
old "Jog McSpaden, Philadel
phia. ' I
McSpaden turned in a 34-34
68 for a two-day c total of 137,
three better than the .140 of Sam
my Byrd, Ardmore, Pa., and
Chick Harbert, Battle Creek,
Mich., shared third spot.
Byrd joined a 72 today to yes
terday's 68, while Harbert was
even par 70s for the second suc
cessive round.
Bunched in fourth place with
141 were Horton Smith, Spring
