Interleague Baseball Play Needs
Only Approval by National Loop
. By MILTON RICHMAN
' " New York - tUPIJ - National
league owners indicated today
ttiey will okay a revolution
ary baseball plan that would
'prove a face - saver for the
'American league, a nioney
''maker for Walter O'Malley
fmd an unexpected bonanza
for the nation's fans.
The plan, officially pro
posed Tuesday by the Ameri
can league, calls for both the
'AL and NL to expand to nine
clubs In, 1961 and engage in
inter league competition for
the first time in the history
of the game.
Commissioner Ford Frick,
National league preside'nt
Warren Giles and O'Malley
''all have come out in favor of
the proposal. So, of course,
has the American league,
which voted for it unanimous
ly. Other NL owners - some of
who already have endorsed
T the plan in the past - must
officially approve it by Dec.
5. If a hitch develops and they
decide not to, the AL through
. its president Joe Cronin, an
nounced it will go ahead with
its original idea of moving
, into Los Angeles and fielding
10 teams for the forthcoming
season.
Expects No Trouble
' "I don't think we'll have
'any trouble," said co-owner
Del Webb of the New York
Yankees, who along with his
'partner, Dan Topping, present
ed the nine-club, inter-league
competition plan to O'Malley
Tuesday following a meeting
with Frick.
That meeting preceded an
other one at which Cronin and
the AL owners, who seemed
to have their backs against
' the wall, made their take-it-or;
leave it proposition to the NL.

Detectives To Stay
On Newhouse Probe
Portland - lUPIl-David John
son, Portland's newly-appointed
police chief, said Tuesday
the special five-man detective
squad investigating the Oct.
16 wounding of Oregonian
production manager Donald
Newhouse will continue its
probe until the case is solved.
The squad was picked short
ly after the shooting by the
late Police Chief William J.
Hilbruner and Detective Cnpt.
O. K. Robinson.
Newhouse was wounded on
the night of Oct. 16 when a
shotgun was fired through the
basement window of his home.
rived at the compromise plan
after O'Malley demanded that
certain conditions be met be
fore an AL club could move in
as a neighbor to his Dodgers.
Webb seemed confident the
NL would approve the AL
plan.
If O'Malley can convince
the rest of his NL colleagues
to vote the same way he will,
it will mean that the Dodgers
will operate alone in Los
Angeles again next year, un
encumbered by any possible
competition from an American
league club.
Boon For Fans
The inter -league competi
tion, first broached by Hank
Greenberg of the Chicago
White Sox several years ago,
will also prove a boon for the
fans.
It will mean a 166 - game
schedule instead of the 154
game slate now in use. Each
AL club, for example, would
play each AL rival 14 times
for a total of 112 games, and
also play each NL club six
times for a total of 54 games.
If the NL votes for the plan,
it will get the American
league out of a ticklish posi
tion. Privately, AL officials
admitted they "might have
moved too fast" when they
okayed Washington's switch
to Minneapolis-St. Paul, ap
proved new franchises in
Washington and Los Angeles
and then announced they in
tended to operate 10 clubs
next year.
The NL, on the other hand,
will be faced with a problem
of choosing between Houston,
Tex., and New York if it de
cides to go with nine clubs
next year. Houston and New
York already have been ap
proved as new NL franchies
but weren't supposed to start
operating until 1962.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
The Providence Reds may
be on their way out of the
American Hockey league sub-
basement on the impetus of a
second upset in a row over the
second-place Quebec Aces.
Zellio Toppazzini, now in
his eighth season with the
Reds, scored two goals, both
assisted by Paul Larivee and
Bob Becktt, in Tuesday
night's 5-1 vitcory. The game
was a shutout until the middle
of the third period when
goalie Ed Giacomin, who
stopped 25 attempts, finally
let one through.
Providence needs at least
four more points to overtake
Rochester and Hershey which
share fifth place.

in the first period to down

Huskies Look
To Beat in Hoop Race
United Press International
San Francisco -IUPD- Univer
sity of Washington, which al
ready has a Rose Bowl bid
sewed up in football, looks
like the team to beat also in
western basketball circles
this year.
The Huskies, working out
under Coach Johnny Garson,
have an all-veteran team that
has height, rebounding abil
ity, speed and experience.
Plus reasonable depth.
But Washington will be no
shoo-in for the Big Five
crown. And there will be
some tough .basketball pre
sented by the other teams, in
cluding Loyola in the West
Coast conference and Oregon
among the independents.
But the days of cage supre
macy at California, it seems,
are gone for at least a year or
two.
The Golden Bears, with a
28-2 record last year, NCAA
champion in 1959 and runner
up in 1960, get a new coach
in Rene Herrerias, and they
lost the great Darrel Imhoff
and the fine Tandy Gillis.
No Illusions
"We have no illusion about
matching last season's great
record," says Herrerias, who
played for Pete Newell at
USF and then acted as his as
sistant at Cal last year. "The
loss of Imhoff and Gillis
hurts. And the- schedule is a
bit tougher."
Washington has the talent
Earle Irvine, 6-4; and Roger
Niva, 6-6, are the forwards;
Bill Hanson, 6-8, is center,
and Clint Names, 6-1, and
Lyle Bakken, 6 ft., are the
guards. The reserves will
come mostly from sophomores
and junior college transfers
but they look capable.
