Ferocious Gentlemen
Upset Expert Dopesters

BROOKLYN. June 2O-R)-The
New York Giants and Philadelphia
Phils are keeping the Brooklyn
Dodgers in first place in the Ma
tional League.
The Dodgers have defeated the
Giants eight times in IL tries and
the Pills. whom they oppose in a
twilight-night twin bill tonight,
nine times in 10 games.
Three streaks. two on the win
ming side, have marked the drive
to the top. In mid-May the club,
then known as the Buns, won II
straight for the longest string

manager.
At present, brandishing their new
nickname Of "Ferocious Gentle.
men," they have captured 10 of
their last IL. In between came a
jaunt to the west where they won
only four out Of IS.
And here are some other reasons
why the club has forsaken, at least
temporarily, the seventh place
berth picked for it by the experts:
Development of the Eddie Basin
ski-Eddy Stanky second base COM
bination. They have combined for
IS double plays in 81 games with
shortstop-violinist Basinski, a year
out Of the Buffalo University or.
chestra and hitting 1905.
Hitting Of outfielder Goody Ro-
sen. Rosen, always great field
er, presently leads the club at the
plate with 1853 aggregate.
Relief pitching of Clyde King.
He's appeared in four of the Dod-
gers last five games and has a
seasons total Of four triumphs, no
defeats in the role of fireman.
Return Of HOWE Schultz. The 6
foot 7 inch first baseman joined
the club on June 4 when the Dod-
gers were in fourth place, five and
half games off the pace. Since
then he has hit 1854. His single
with the bases loaded in the
twelfth gave the. Dodgers their
sixth consecutive verdict over the
Giants Monday night.

WORLD SECURITY
FARLEY TO END
Continued from Page One)

Russia cleared the way for that
and a successful conclusion OF the
conference by accepting an Austria
liam suggestion that the assembly
be allowed to debate anything
within the phere Of the world char
ter.
Russias action was announced
by Secretary OF State Stettinius
at the end of a Big Five meeting.
Stettinius said that big powers
and ustralia have reached full
and satisfactory agreement" on the
question of how broad debating
field should be permitted a world
assembly in which every United
Nations would have voice. He
said the agreement would go be-
fore a conference committee for
disposition today.
Asked what effect that would have
on the conference timetable call
ing for President Truman to ad-
dress a final session. Saturday, Set
tinius replied 1t was too early to
tell.
But the State Secretary speci&ical-
ly declined to discard the Satur'
day adjournment schedule prior
to a meeting with the conference
Secretariat and the coordination
committee.
The Australian compromise &C
cepted by Soviet Ambassador An
drei Gronyko provides that the
assembly may discuss any matter
within the scope Of the charter OF
the world organization, or the pow
ers or functions Of its organs (as-
se1nbly, council ete.)
The difference between Russia
and Herbert v. Evatt, Australia's
foreign minister, had been rela.
lively minor except as it bore on
arrangements for ending the con-
ference on schedule.
Stettinius was so pleased with
the results Of his efforts to clear
up the disagreement that he came
from his penthouse quarters to thu
delegation press room
in the hotel to announce it person
ally.
The compromise was reported to
permit the general assembly to
discuss anything within the scope
or sphere Of the security charter.
