HEATING EQUIPMENT that his proposed third league meant to tamper with high school and American Legion players were "a deliberate falsehood." He said these charges con tained in the "last-minute wire" from Frick, were "cal culated to frighten United States Senators and terrorize the American Legion and high school baseball g.oups into registering a stream of pro tests. "This charge was not only a deliberate falsehood, but a new low for the administra tive office of our so-called Na tional pastime in its effort to block progressive legisla tion," said Rickey. Rickey contended 4hat the Frick wire was evidence of "organized baseball's acceler ating fear of approval for the Kefauver All-Sports bill," a measure now being consid ered by the Senate judiciary committee which the Contin ental league says is necessary to make possible its formation and operation. Rickey's wire to the com mittee read as follows: "The Continental league is utterly opposed to the em ployment of high school play ers or American Legion play ers and goes further than that. The Continental league will oppose the signing of col lege players if the major leagues will agree to It. Neith er I nor anyone else con nected with the Continental league has ever said that the league intended to take American Legion or High school players. We are consti tutionally opposed to it." The telegram, signed by Rickey, was addressed to Sens. James O. Eastland ID Miss.), Estes Kefauver (D- Tonn.), and Philip A. Hart ID Mich.). T.V. LARK WINS RACE Inglewod, Calif (UPD T.V.

A crowd of 4,000 went wild when Janet Hopps of Seattle, Wash., and Dorothy Knode of Forest Hills, N. Y., failed to get their rackets on a Truman lob that sent them racing to the baseline. It was only Bri tain's sixth victory in what has generally been considered the most one-sided of interna tional sports competitions. The doubles triumph in the final match gave Britain's women stars a 4-3 victory in the two-day, seven-match com petition. It also climaxed a dogged British drive in which they never led until Miss Tru man's lob plopped safely for the point that won the cup. Tension-Filled Match The Americans had taken a 2-1 lead by winning two of Friday's three matches. Miss Truman pulled Britain even by whipping Karen Hantze of San Diego, Calif., in today's first match, 7-5, 6-3. But Dar lene Hard, the chunky blonde from Montebello, Calif., who starred in a losing cause, im mediately put her team in front again with a 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Ann Haydon. Angela Mortimer then set the stage for the tension-filled final match when she pulled Britain even at 3-all by rally ing to defeat Miss Hopps, 6-8, 6-4, 6-1. Miss Hopps, the United States captain, developed a painful cramp in that match. The final doubles did not produce the best tennis of the competition but it was easily the most dramatic with the highly partisan crowd, desper ately anxious for a British win, cheering and applauding every point on the No. 1 court. Miss Hopps and Mrs. Knode quickly took a 4-0 lead in the first set by playing Mrs. Brasher, the weaker of the Johansson Said In Fine Shape Grossinger, N.Y. - (UPD Ingemar Johansson's physU cian said Saturday there is no danger of postponing the re turn title fight with Floyd Patterson because of the heavyweight champion's back condition.

Then they unaccount ably switched their attention to the six-foot Miss Truman, who is ranked joint No. 1 in her country, and the British pair swept six games to take the set. In the second set, the Amer icans again took a 3-0 lead be fore the Britons could find the range but then, with Miss Truman carrying the attack, they drew up from 1-4 to 5-5 and took the lead at 6-5 on the giant Briton's net play. Miss Hopps and Mrs. Knode saved one match point on Miss Brasher's error to break back to 6-6. In the final game the Americans saved six match points mostly by playing Mrs. Brasher.
