3.MAN C0NCLAVE
MAY DECIDE
FATE OF SERIES

NEW YORK, July 7 CUP)- The
major leagues were concentrating
on tonights all-star game with the
service squad at Cleveland but be-
hind the scenes today a three-man
advisory baseball council was max
ing plans that may revolutionize
conduct of the classic World Series
in September.
Normally, the World Series is
played on a best-of-seven basis in
the cities of the teams which have
won the respective big league pen
nants. But when Commissioner
Kenesaw NJ Landis, President Ford
Frick of the National League and
President Will Harridge of the
American League come to a deci-
sion, the annual diamond extra
vaganza may hit the road" on an
extended transforming tour.
The big leagues met in separate
sessions yesterday and then pooled
their members for three hours in
joint conclave that produced some
of the stormiest inter-league de-
bates since night baseball addicts
first tried to make the arc-light
affairs general in the majors.
However, the only matter def
initely settled-except nomination
of the big three" to handle the
series question-was denial of
owner Clark Griffiths plea to allow
his Washington Senators to play
the remainder of their schedule
excepting Saturday, Sundays and
holidays-as night games.
The American League approved
Griffith'S suggestion at their earl
ier meeting, but at the joint Ses-
sion he met solid front of protest
from the National League. Lands
cast the dissenting vote to break
the deadlock.
The senior circuits action may
have been motivated by the rival
loops objection to the proposed
changes in the series setup The
National League favored the change
which would take the series on tour
through minor league cities on a
best 8 of Is schedule.
The first four or six of the games
would be PLAYED in the pennant-
winning cities. Then the teams
would travel through cities such as
Los Angeles, Calf, or Dallas, Tex,
for a double-b -barrelled reason-to
increase the eventual take for mill
tary relief and arouse increased
interest in the game.

and both Acme and the City of Ell
Centre have won four and lost two.
In the first five innings the Tele-
phoners could gather but two hits
off the offerings of Dick Wyatt and
could not score while the office
team was making seven hits and 10
runs off Pitcher Jack Aaron.
The losers solved Wyatt's slants
in the sixth, however, as they touch
ed him for four hits and four runs.
In the seventh and final frame they
found the range even more, making
eight runs off six hits. The Office
players were able to push three over
the plate in the last Of the sixth
to sew up the game.
Hank Cauzza, office first base
man, and Mayfield, office left field :
er, each had home runs in the game.
No long hits were registered for the
Telephone company. The office
lineup was bolstered by Tunney Will
liamS, former A Lacquer, at second.
Wyatt had eight strike -odtS, three
coming in the second inning when
he retired every batter that faced
him.

MUCH COMMENT

His achievements last night cauS-
ed even moro comment among the
1854 fans than the bizarre events
that. were SandWiched in during the
classic-inclement weather that de-
layed the start more than half
engulfed the Harlem horseshoe al
most simultaneously with the last
out, leaving the fans sitting Stoical-
ly in the cavernous stands and play
ers cropping for lockers in the dark
dressing rooms.
Handsome Boudreau 24-year-old
short stop and freshman manager
of the Cleveland Indians, started
lightning double plays in the first
and sixth innings that squelched
incipient National league uprisings.
In addition, his spectacular, stab
bing catch of Pee Wee Reese's line
drive in the seventh ended another
threat. with two men on base.
Later in the dark but roaring
dressing room of the boisterous A
merican leaguers, Boudreau shrug
ged off his fielding achievements
but admitted that his home run
provided ''onc of the biggest thrills
I ever had in baseball" He was
mighty proud and elated because OF
that blow. He'll remember his third
all-star game for a long time, as
will the baseball Boswells.
YORK HAPPY
Rudy York CT the Detroit Tigers,
who played a grand game at first
base in addition to winning the
classic with his first-inning homer,
was justifiably jubilant, too, as he
climbed into his civvies.

also was a homo run, belted by none
other than Catcher Mickey owen OF
the Dodgers-goat of the last World
series. Alton Benton of the Tigers
the towering highlander who pitch
ed the last five innings for the
/ Americans. served Mickey a fast one
down the center in the eighth in
ming when Mickey, as pinch hitter
was the first man up. owen bopped
it into the right field stands.

The town and the whole coun- ty surrounding Vassar are typical war-boomed industrial and farming territory. They have all the typical headaches too. Day nurseries, hos pitals, clinics, work camps, factor les, recreation centers, and defense councils are hard put to help ctil- dren and adults, in 6 quickly ex- banded and war-pressured popula- ton, over the bumps of war disrupt ed family life.
 "But any community can lick this situation if 1t gets things organized so as to bring together the paid pro- fessional and the volunteer whc needs only to be trained to work professionally" Dr. Fisher went on
 "She is getting into something en. tirely different from pre-war well fare work. This is no matter of the social register, 'busy-work,' the in- evitable struggle for prestige, and the feeling always cropping up that people who receive help are some- how inferior.
 ''This new volunteer-call her the professional volunteer because she will be trained-must do a strictly businesslike job. More, she has to be prepared to work efficiently even beyond conventional business hours because wartime family needs just don't squeeze into the nine to-five pattern.
 "The whole community will have to back up this volunteer. She and the paid professional together will have to get facts quickly and ac- curately. ..-.t

 The Vassar Institute, from the end of June to August, will be a working demonstration of how to do these things.

Adults will learn general prin- ciples of community organization from long list of high-powered of- ficialS concerned with civilian lec- turers, including government protec- ton and morale.
