BY JACK GUENTHER

NEW YORK, July l. CUP)-The
proposal that the world series be
extended to Is games and road
showed a Ia Gone With The Wind
or a patent medicine show as greet
ed by major league owners today
with all the enthusiasm they might
display toward a freshman insur-
ance actuary, sudden attack OF
black measles or a pin-Strlped
tsetse fly at harvest time.
Responding reluctantly to Unit
ed Press telegraphic poll, five of
the moguls politely, but definitely,
thumbed the gaudy suggestion down,
two more straddled the issue like
small, boys walking a fence and the
remaining nine simply declined COM
ment. The suggestion now may be
filed and forgotten on grounds that
baseball men just dislike new ideas.
The extended series proposal was
first broached by Joe Williams,
sports editor of the New York World
Telegram. Williams suggested that
a 15-game expedition carried through
Memphis, Louisville, San Francisco,
Omaha Lf other points west and
south 'aould be doubly beneficial.
1t would raise money for military
charities and would help spread the
game.
CORRECT
His assumptions were completely
correct. 1t has been years since a
world series game was played in
major league cities such as Cleve-
land, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh. AS for fans in Los
Angeles, Kansas City, Atlanta, Chat
tanooga and other metropolitan
centers they never have been priv
ileged TO sup at baseballs banquet
tablo.
Ed Barrow of the Yankees says
the plan is "all wet" Clark Grit
fifth of Washington shouts Hippo
drome" And that great philanthro-
pist, Gerry Nugent of Philadelphia
asks, who proposed this plan? No
baseball man."
Only one representative indicated
that the proposal was worthy of
serious consideration. Branch Hickey
of the Cardinals said the plan has
merit but that ! am completely
satisfied that present plans are
best" Alva Bradley Of Cleveland
said he would rest OH Commissioner

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

SionS as must any referee.
OF coure, it is easy for a sport
writer to criticize these men because
the sport writer has no financial
interest in baseball. Yet, at times,
criticism Is necessity Right now
baseball men are selling themselves
short. They are adopting defeatiSt
attitude. They look at the clouds
but they carefully choose to over
look the silver Innings.
GREAT STUNT
If the transportation can be ar
ranged 15-game series carried
through the way points would con-
stitute the greatest promotional
stunt in baseball history. The series
probably will be played between
the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Yank-
ees and both teams have assumed
the proportions of legends. They
are part and parcel of our country's
folk lore.
The Dodgers are "our Buns" to
millions. Their following is not con-
fined to the precincts of Flatbush.
Like WhirlaWay, Sam Snead, Joe
Louis and Lana Turner-yes!-they
have been adopted by all of Ameri-
ca. Peoria roots for 'em and so do
Needles and Tombstone and Nor
row, Camilli, Walker, owen and Leo
the Lip no longer are individuals,
They are institutions.
The Yanks? Well, aren't they the
boys so talented that they should
be broken up? Don't they comprise
one of the great clubs of all times?
Aren't DiMaggio, Dickey, Gomez and
Gordon historical greats already?
The answer to all these questions
is a resounding yea" Yet, Barrow
doesn't believe his Yanks could
draw customers outside of town.
He and his colleagues are so in
tent on protecting the trees that
they have forgotten the forest fire.
They are so concerned with protect
ing their series this year they have
forgotten that for baseball there
may be no next year. They have
forgotten that they no longer are
masters of their fate and are merely
coasting along on what amounts
to borrowed time.
And the owners have forgotten
one thing even more important. They
have forgotten that the boys they
are being asked 10 help financially
are marching off TO a war from
which they won't all march back,

: Back
Again

Frank Stinson, former Cal
exico high school baseball
star, was back with the San
Diego Padres Wednesday af-
ter a years absence.
The blond right-hander spent a
year with the coast league club as
a utility infielder but was released
early in 1941. He was recalled by
Manager Cedric burst early this
week to replace George Mcdonald,
regular Padre first baseman, who
suffered a broken leg recently.
After his release from San Diego
last year, Stinson went to the San
Jose Owls in the California state
league and has been there until
the loop was broken up last Sun
day. Thus far in the season Stin-
son has sported 300 batting aver
age.
At San Diego the Calexico youth
will fill in for Mcdonald until his
return, probably at least for six
weeks, and after that will be used
to bolster the weakening Padre
infield. Stan Sperry, regular second
sacker for the San Diego team, an
nounced his retirement last week
and returned to his home in Wis
consin. 1t will be in his place that
Stinson will probably fill in.
Stinson spent the winter in I'M
perial Valley playing on the Heber
baseball team that won the champ
ionship of the winter league. He
demonstrated his all-around ability
by pitching, catching and playing
in the infield
Before his return to San Jose
this spring he helped Coach Ed
Covington with the Calexico high
school nine. The team took second
in the valley high school league
behind the Ell Centre Spartans.

The POst-Press team and the

game Friday night instead of
next week, it was decided We'd

Scheduled to play Monday
night on the Imperial higa

day night in the large Ell Cen
trO stadium instead. The 10
80 team was supposed to play
Ortiz All-Stars Friday but
Manuel Ortiz, manager. will be
out of town that nig'.t and a
suitable team could not be
fashioned. The Stars and 1880

This will make two games in

stronger than it was a year ago.
In addition to improved pitching
the Red SoX benefit by the all
around improvement of Dom Di-
Maggie in the outfield and the fine
work of Johnny Pesky at shortstop.
Pesky's a splendid young player"
Boudreau, who modestly set "a
first division berth as his goal
when he took over the Cleveland
managerial reins, hasn't changed
his mind.
"I'll regard the season as sue
cess if we finish in the first divt-
sion," he said, but if we could get
a few breaks along the line We
might land in thiId place or even
second. l feel we'd been closer to
the pace if Gene Desautels hadn't
broken his ankle. That hurt us
plenty for he's a fine handler e
pitchers and knew the hitters.
Gene is going to make our next
eastern trip but won't be ready
to play right away"

" was q slump like every ballclub
runs into. They should snap out of
it soon"
Could the wcrld champions roll
on to another pennant even if Joe
DiNaggio and Charley Keller, the
clubs two big" hitters, remain be-
low the 800 mark?
That's tough to Say," the 25-year-
old Tribe pilot said. when you
think of the Yanks you think of
pcwer-the kind that is represented
by long hits and big innings. With
CiMaggio and Keller down the club
isn't following that pattern. Odd
as it may seem the YankS are on
top because they've had the best
pitching in the league. The hurting
begged a bit cf late and trouble
followed"
And if the Yanks continued to
skid?
BOSTON CHOICE
Then Boston becomes the logical
pennant choice" Boudreau said.
ON what the Red Sox showed me
in our last series they are club
that's good enough to be conceded
a chance. Pitching has been an old
failing of Joe Cronin's outfit, but
the Red Sox have had high class
mound work recently and they are
MT too far off the pace Remember
they're home for their next Is
games and a good showing during
that stard would mean a lot to
them.
There's no question Boston is

when such business is in compeu-

The courts unaninlous decision,
delivered by Chief Justice Harlan
=. Stone, denied the claim Of
WrightWood Dairy Co, for eXemp-
ion from a milk marketing agree
nent for the Chicago area on the
round that the concern operates
only in Illinois.
The case affects similar agree

scattered over the country. In gem
eral, they provide a formula for de-
termining minimum prices for milk
producers.
WrightWoOd won lower court

held the federal power over inter-
state commerce cannot touch in
trastate business on the sole ground
that it completes with interstate
business.
