i o o o OGHT MEDFOHD (OREGON1 MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, Jun 2S. 1937 Casey Stengel Praises As Baltimore Hands D By MILTON RICHMAN Uhiled Press Sporti Writer Casey Stengel describes Balti more Manager Paul Richards as a "juggling genius," and praise from Caesar is praise indeed. "That man Richards has taken '. a bunch of hand-me-offs and made tnom into a downright respectable ball club," Stengel lay. Richards has the once-downtrodden Orioles looking so re spectable that they have taken 15 nf their last 25 games and today are only 3', i games away from the first division. Like Stengel s?ys, most of the Orioles are discards from other major league clubs, and Monday night two of them, pitcher Skin ny Brown and third baseman Billy Goodman, combined tal ents in a 6-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Brown, plucked from the minors by Richards after un distinguished showings with the White Sox and Red Sox, set the Tigers down on five hits and made liberal use of his knuckle ball in striking out six batters. Phils. Redlegs Advance Goodman, hitting a cool .343 since being obtained from Bos ton 10 days ago, contributed a two-run homer and a single in Baltimore's 12-hit attack that sent Duke Maas down to his fifth defeat. The victory was the Orioles' Orioles' Richards etroit 6-0 Whipping Morris Attorneys Study Possibilities of Appeal By JACK CUDDY United Press Sporti Writer New York T Defense at torneys for the Jim Norris box insj monopoly today studied the possibilities of appealing Feder al Judge Sylvester J. Ryan's knockout decision to the United S'a'es Supreme Court. O Norris said, "Whether we ap Jeal or not, I intend to remain hi boxing if it's only in the 1J id west." Syan's admittedly "drastic' decision apparently bans Norris (nd his partner Arthur Wirtz permanently from big time box ing1 in New York. The 13-pnge verdict read Mon Jiiy from the bench in U. S. District Court not only dissolves tlie two International Boxing fei'uh permanetly and divorces Norris and Wirtz permanently O from the Madison Square Gar den Corp., but it also gives the 'jnurt permanent jurisdiction over the defendants and their boxing activities. And one of th major reasons ft)T the "dirtolution and divorce ment" in his decision was the Judge's desire to restore promo tional competition between the List and Midwest. Found Guilty On March 8 Ryan found the Norris boxing empire guilty of monopoly in its conduct of title fights. One of the principal rea sons for that verdict was the interlocking directorates of the Garden Corp., and the IBCs of New York and Illinois. The Gar den Corp., owned the IBC of N.Y., and the Stadium Corp. owned the IBC of Illinois. Monday he ordered the two IBCs dissolved, effective next Monday as far as their function ing is concerned. On Monday the judge will give his "final judgment" containing the ma chinery to carry out Monday's orders. Dispose of Stock Norris, president of the Gar den Corp. and of the Stadium Corp., and Wirtz, a director in both organizations, were ordered to dispose of their S2 million worth of stock in the Garden Corp. and resign as officers and directors. Although they must resign by July 30, they have seven years in which to dispose of their shares through a trustee ship. During that period of- dis posal they will receive dividends on their shares put will have no stock-voting privileges not even by proxies. fifth in their last seven games Brooklyn crushed St. Louis. 10-3, and Philadelphia mauled Milwaukee, 10-4, in the only other major league games sched uled Monday night. The defeat handed them by the Dodgers cut the Cardinals' lead in the National League to half a game over the idle Red legs, who moved into second place as the Braves dropped to third. St. Louis led 2-1 until Brook lyn chased Sam Jones with a six-run rally in the seventh in ning. PeeWee Reese and Carl Furillo each contributed two run doubles in the big inning. Duke Snider slammed a pair of homers for the Dodgers, his 13th and 14th, while Furillo connected for one. Joe Cunning ham of the Cards also homered. The victory went to Carl Erskine, who pitched the first six innings and then was reliev ed by Ed Roebuck. It was Ers kine's first victory of the season and his first since last Sept. 17. Phils Narrow Gap Home runs by Stan Lopata, Ed Bouchee and Rip.Repulski enabled the Phillies to move within aa game and a half of first place. Lopata hit his with one on in the first inning off loser War ren Spahn and Bouchee also hit his homer off Spahn with two on in a four-run sixth. Juan Pizarro yielded Repulski's hom er with one on in the ninth. Southpaw H a r v e y Haddix gained his sixth triumph al though giving up all 12 of Mil waukee's hits in the 7 13 in nings he pitched. The Braves, who lost Joe Ad cock with a fractured ankle Sunday, had two more players injured Monday night.

Feller, now president of the Major League Baseball Players Assn., was scheduled to outline his views to a House Judiciary subcommittee studying whether baseball should remain Immune from anti-trust laws. Feller Testifies Feller and another of base ball's all-time greats, Stan Mus- ial-of the St. Louis Cardinals, were slated to testify following Warren Giles and William Har ridge, presidents of the National and American leagues, respec tively. Both Harridgc and Giles were expected to oppose vigorously any time limit on the operation of the reserve clause, as did baseball Commissioner Ford Frick last week. Chaotic Scramble Frick pictured a "chaotic scramble for player talent" if the clause were wiped out. One of baseball's officialdom Monday advocated a six-year limit on the reserve clause. This suggestion came to C. Leo de Orsey, a director of the Washing ton Senators. De Orsey said the average life of a major leaguer is less than five years and "there is no need of keeping him chained for life." However, De Orsey said rfothing should prevent a club from en tering a long-term contract for a period beyond six years. out steps and had to quit after five irtnings, and reliever Dave Jolly was hit by a batted ball in the eighth. Catcher Del Crandall played first base for the first time in seven years after Frank Torre was removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth.
