Strike Seen By MILTON RICHMAN Washington - (UPD - Fed-up baseball owners wrapped up their annual meetings today by banding together to give major and minor league players an abrupt, icy brush off in their demands for more money. The blunt, "flat no," couch ed in no uncertain terms. threatened to create dishar mony among major league players and precipitate a pos sible strike among disgrun tled International leaguers Baseball Commissioner Hornet 9th Wins, 7th, 8th Beaten Hedrick Junior High school ninth graders won their open- ' ing game of the basketball sea son, defeating the Crater freshmen 28 to 23 yesterday, but the eight and seventh grade aggregations bowed to Central Point teams. Score was 40 to 30 in the eighth grade fray and 28 to 23 in the seventh grade mix. The Hornet ninth, which turned in good backboard work and ballhawking in its opening contest, trailed 11 to - 5 at the quarter but was on top 17 to 15 at half time. Third quarter standinfavored Hed rick 26 to 18. Eaton Spurs Scott Eaton spurred the Hornet effort and tallied 13 points for his club after first putting a field shot in the Cra ter bucket off the opening tip- off.

Ford Frick added what may have been the last straw when he announced that ma jor league owners had unani mously rejected a request for 20 per cent of the total take from all sources. Frick said the vote by the American and National league magnates was a "flat no" to the request by the players The International league situation was fraught with much more seriousness be cause its players threaten to strike unless the owners set aside $257,000 for establish ment of a pension plan. Issues Strong Warning "Let them do what they want, said adamant Frank Shaughnessy, president of the circuit. "We'll operate next year with or without them, We don t like having a gun put at our backs." J. Norman Lewis, attorney for the major league player representatives, warned the owners he would not give up his fight. "We are going to continue our efforts to get an equitable share," he said, pointing out that player salaries and team salaries have dwindled from 44 per cent of the gross re ceipts to 17 per cent within a 13-year-period. James Durante, who repre sents the International league along with his law partner, Lewis, issued a much stronger warning. "The players have signed a resolution not to sign their contracts for 1959, not to re port to spring training and not to participate in any In ternational league competi tion unless their demand is met," Durante declared. Many Major Developments - Player -owner hostilities overshadowed virtually all other matters during the ses sions. There were, however, numerous other major developments: -Will Harridge resigned as American league president af ter 28 years and Joe Cronin of the Red Sox was promi nently mentioned to succeed him. -The American association expanded to 10 teams by add ing Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas from the Texas league. -A liberalized draft was approved on a one-year trial basis and a plan by the Yan kees to remstitute another bonus rule was defeated. -The majors adopted a new trading rule which will per mit interleague deals between Nov. 21 and Dec. 5 without the necessity of obtaining waivers. SPORTS Green Bay Foe of SF On Sunday San Francisco - (UPD -Coach Frankie Albert said today that with one exception, the San Francisco Forty Niners will start the same lineup against Green Bay that open ed last week against Baltimore. The one new face will be at offensive guard where Lou Palatela will replace Bruce Bosley. Bosley is suffering from a bruised neck, Albert said, and may miss the entire Green Bay battle. Albert warned that he wasn't expecting any walk over next Sunday despite the unimpressive 1-8-1 mark. "I think they're a solid team and that the result could go either way," Albert said. "They gave us a battle in the first three quarters of our game with them on Nov. 23 before we beat them." Quarterbacks Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie both "threw well" during a workout Thursday, Albert said. A light drill was slated for today. BMKETBAI1 Comedy at Its Best!
