Cheney
On Four
By MILTON RICHMAN
L'PI Sport Writer
Tom Cheney seldom is bothered
for his autograph.
The kids generally pass him up
because he doesn't look much
like a ballplayer. He's balding and
skinny and he's the type who
studied veterinarian's medicine in
college.
But he happens to be one whale
if a pitcher and if you doubt it,
just inquire around the American
League.
The 28-year-old Washington Sen
ator right-hander turned in his
second straight superlative game
in a row Monday night with a
Ben Kerner Raps
Territorial Draft
ST. LOUIS (UPIi-Ben Kerner,
owner of the St. Louis Hawks,
look a swipe at the National Bas
ketball Association (NBA) terri
torial draft rule, saying "This is
the worst rule we have in effect
and we should do everything pos
sible In abolish U."
Kerner Monday night referred
to the rule allowing a team to
select a player on the first round
draft who has attended a college
or university within a SO-mile ra
dius of the team's city with no
other club having a crack at him.
Kerner said the rule was put
In the books 17 years ago when
the league was formed with the
purpose of boosting attendance in
the cities where a specific play
er "had built a reputation."
Strong Get Stronger
The Hawk boss said "This out
dated rule defeats that purpose
and it has allowed those clubs
with collegiate cage powers in
their territory to get 'stronger
without giving the weaker teams
a chance to get better."
Kerner pointed out the rule
(ailed to help attendance in the
two cities that used it the most
in previous years.
"Minneapolis had three territo
rial selections Whiley Skoog,
Dick Garmakcr, and Vern Mik-
kelson and was forced to move
to Los Angeles as attendance
dipped," Kerner slated.
He pointed to Philadelphia's
move to San Francisco despite
Mie fact that four of their tcrri-
lorial choices Paul Arizin, Wilt
Chamberlain, Tom Gola and Guy
Hodgers were top-rated All
Americans in college.
"We're in a situation now
where three teams Boston, Cin
cinnati and New York have a
preponderance of college basket
ball powerhouses in their imme
diate area and could get immeas
urably stronger without going
through the true nature and in
tent of our draft," he said.
Royals' Feediag Ground
Kerner referred to the Univer
sity of Cincinnati as a "virtual
feeding ground" for the Cincinna
ti Royals. He said the University
of Cincinnati has won the NCAA
title for two of the past three
years and will be in contention
next year, along with other Roy
al area clubs Xavier and Day
ton. He pointed out the Boston area
includes Holy Cross and Provi
dence, and with Bob Cousy
coaching Boston College next
year, "that school is certain to
become a basketball power."

No Earned Runs
His season record now stands at
two victories, no losses, no earned

Kerner amplified the situation
by showing that New York has
10 top-flight basketball schools in
their territory. He said it was al
most a certainty that they, will
take Barry Kramer of NYU as
a territorial pick in the 1904
draft.
Kerner asked "what chance do
clubs like Syraruso, Detroit and
ours have when year in and year
out, schools in these areas have
some of the top collegiate play
ers in the country?"

Baik To Continue
To Be Enforced
NEW YORK (UPU - National
League President Warren Giles
said today the controversial balk
rule "will continue to be en-i
forced" despite two new angry
broadsides from St. Louis Manag
er Johnny Kcanc and Houston
General Manager Paul Richards.
Dismayed over the unprecedent-j
cd number of balks already called
so far this season, Keane said,
"If the umpires keep calling the
balk rule the way they have been,
il will decide the National League
pennant race.
Richards was even more upset
csiecially since his Houston pitch
ers, who had only five balks
called against them all last year,
already have been charged with
101 balks so far this season.

Mets Put Vp Fight
The Mets didn't surrender to
the. Phils without a fight. After
wasting an early 3-0 lead, they
staged a three-run rally in the
ninth before reliever Jack Bald
schun fanned Rod Kanehl with the
bases loaded for the final out.
It was a typical performance by
the Mets, who stranded 12 base-
runners and committed three er
rors. Tony Taylor knocked in
three runs for Philadelphia and
Frank Thomas hit a two-run hom
er for tlie Mets.
Ray Washburn limited the Colts
to seven hits and struck out eight
in running his record to 3-0. Bill
White and Carl Sawatski hit solo
homers for the Cards, who col
lected eight of their 11 hits off
loser Ken Johnson.
The Pirates took advantage of
a two-base error by Billy Williams
in the sixth inning to beat tho

a six-hit shutout when his arm

to preserve the shutout.

quired in the telegram. "The balk
calls of National League umpires
are ridiculous for the fans and
are ruining the game for every
one concerned."
From his office In Cincinnati,
Giles disagreed with Kcane's con
tention that tlie balk rule ulti
mately will decide the HVL pen
nant winner.
"It won't decide the pennant
any more than any other rule,"
lie said.
'The rule is being enforced just
as It is written in the book,
Giles added. "I think the umpires
should enforce the rules. No balks
are being called that are not
balks. And I don't anticipate any
thing being done about it unless
the rules committee changes the
rule."
Richards claims the Houston
pitchers are so confused they're
thinking of the balk rule all the
time Instead of thinking about
pitching.

Betsy Rawls of Spartanburg,
