NEW YORK (AP) Charles
(Chuck) McKinlcy, 19. the na
tion's fourth ranked tennis play
er, is not thinking of turning pro
at this time even though he has
been suspended by the U.S. Lawn
Tennis Association for his racket
throwing in the Davis Cup inter-
tone finals at Perth, Australia.
The t St. Louis, Mo., player,
America's chief Davis Cup hope
now that Barry Mackay and Earl
Buchholz have turned pro, was
suspended Thursday by USLTA
President George E. Barnes and
the organization's Rules Commit
tee. How long the suspension
lasts depends on what the Execu
live Committee does when it
meets in New Orleans Feb. 4.
"No one from the USLTA con-
. tacted me or gave me any formal
' notification," said McKinley in
St. Louis. "And I don't know what
the charges against me are, ei
. ther: I still hope to play tennis
. and 1 intend to keep in shape.
"The U.S. Indoor Tournament
begins Feb. 9 (in New York) and
' maybe the Executive Committee
; will see fit to let me play when
it meets' the preceding week. But
, I have no thought of turning pro
'ml this time."
, The lengthy statement issued by
the USLTA didn't specify the ex
.act charges against McKinley ei
ther. But an association spokes
. man left no doubt that it was the
racket-throwing incident after Mc
Kinley and Buchholz lost to the
v Italians in the doubles at Perth
that prompted the suspension.
; 1 The decision was made, Barnes
said, because McKinley "acted in
. a way detrimental to the welfare
.of the game" while in Australia
as a member of the U.S. team
Barnes added that McKinley's
auspension was concurred in by
. David L. Foed, nonplaying cap-
: tain of the team.

New Baseball Laws
Needed Says Solon
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Es
tcs Kefauver, D-Tenn said to
day the enlargement of baseball's
major leagues adds to the need
for a new federal law to require
wide scale annual player drafts
Congress will reconvene Tues
day. Kefauver said he will intro
duce a bill to allow any major
league to keep not more than 40
players exempt from being draft
ed to other clubs in an annual
post season draft.
"The advent of new teams
in the American and National
leagues makes this all the more
needed," Kefauver told a report
er. He added that it would per
mit weaker clubs to build their
power and thus provide better
competition.
He said he believes the experi
ences of the two new American
League clubs in Washington and
Los Angeles in recruiting players
for the start of play next spring
will make the bill more popular
in Congress than it was earlier
this year when the Senate shelved
it
Two new National League clubs
don't plan to start play until 1962.
Kefauver said he figured the
mere fact a bill was introduced,

The senator said he will hold

troducing a bill to place profes

Kefauver heads the Senate Anti

infiltration of big time boxing. He
said he plans more hearings on
this in January, and also will dis

of the new administration before
he drafts a boxing control bill
