Southern . scribes and baseball
men are all stirred up about the
Dick Callahan "case," first be
cause the $15,000 bonus the Red
Sox paid the New Orleans
youngster was more than any in
dependent minor league club
could hand out and because it set
other kids thinking in terms of
$15,000, and second because of
the "handling" of Callahan.
Bill Keefe of the New Orleans
Times-Picayune argues that the
shellacking Dick took in his de
but at Louisville may have set
back his career a couple of years.
.... On top of that, 15-year-old
Joe Nuxhali, after a brief trial
with the Reds, was sent to the
Class A Birmingham club
He had to get a permit from the
state child .labor board to work
there last Sunday, then lasted
two-thirds of an inning, giving
one hit, five walks and six runs.

NO SURE CURE
! The r Tigers are expected to
present a proposal at next week's
major league, meeting in Pitts

free agent unless he had at least
one full season's experience in
Class A or higher. And would

players from the minors only
through unrestricted draft.
But baseball men say that Judge
Landis likely would turn down
any plan that would limit

Chicago hopped out of. the
basement by three percentage
points over the Boston Braves
by stopping Bob Coleman's
crew, 7-1 and 4-2 on neat mound
jobs by Les Fleming and Claude
Passeau with the help of Dom
Dallesandro's slugging. Red
Barrett and Ben Cardoni were
the losers.
Pittsburgh hung to second
place by five slim percentage
points over the Reds by taking
the second game from the Phil
lies, 4-0 after bowing to AI Ger
heauser in the opener, 3-2.
The Browns divided two with
Philadelnhia. winning the early
game 4-0 as Sig Jakucki tossed
his third shutout in his last
four starts to decision Bobo
Newsom. Al Hollingsworth
railed in the finale as Luke
Hamlin cuffed the leaders, 8-3.
Cleveland beat the New York
Yankees' prize rookies, Walt
Dubiel and Joe Page, 3-1 and
7-2. with Manager Lou tsoua-
reau showing the way in the
field and at bat. Chief Reynolds
and Ray Poat were .the inoe s
winners.
. Boston clung to the runnerup
spot as Joe Bowman decisioned
Detroit s jonnny uoreica,
and Bobby Doerr batted in five
runs after Hal Newhouser had
hung up his 12th win at Clem
Hausmann's expense, 4-3. 'Wash

Liska, the Portland Beavers' sub
mariner whined seven Maimers
and was never in real trouble
after the sixth. The Rainiers got
a lone run off him in the second
when Libke and Christopher
singled and Lyman doubled.
The Sacramento Solons con
tinued their drive to get out of
the cellar as Clem Dreisewerd
hurled his 11th victory in 12 tries
to win the opener 3 to 2. In the
nightcap, Frank Dasso held the
Solons hitless for six innings but
loosened in the seventh to allow
three hits and two runs for the
Solons' 2 to 1 win.
The Los Angeles Angels and
