BY the Assoeio,ed Pres.


Brooklyn's fond dream of a 1916
pennant has exploded into a grisly
nightmare today with the Cardinals
back in first place and the Dodgers
on six-game losing binge.
Seven games ahead on the July 4
dividing line, the Dodgers have
crashed toward their doom on
fatal Western jaunt while st. Louis.

entire lead and forged ahead by. a

st. Louis appears to be leveling off
for another of it's famous stretch

The Phillies. who kept St. Louis

flrst time the Cards had undisputed
possession of the lead since they
bowed to the Phils May 81 and
dropped down into a tie with
Brooklyn.
shoddy defensive play and inabil-
lty to bunch hits off Ed Heusser

time, Al, in Cincinnati. The Brooks
now have won only one game in nine

Bill Lee halted the Chicago Cubs
upward march with Six-hit. 9-3
decision for the Boston Braves. The
result left the Bruins four games
off the pace.
Pittsburgh broke Dave Koslos

Plan 10 Alter Baseball
Contract ShowsGuiId
Right, Murphy Says
BY the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, July 19.-Robert
Murphy, Boston-born organizer of
the American Baseball Guild, said
today that club owners, by naming
a major league baseball commit
tee to study revision of the uniform
players contract, "have agreed the
guild is correct in its claim the base
ball contract is unfair to the player" -"
Il am glad to see the magnates
of baseball are beginning to see the
light" Murphy declared in a state
ment.
Il am certain club owners will
agree the guild proposals are sound.
Prodded by Guilds Efforts.
ut is obvious that efforts of the
guild to correct injustices to the
players are in a large measure re-
sponsible for this action by the base
ball barons. This is proved by the
fact that never before in the long
history of baseball was such a meas
ure suggested by the owners. It
came only when the American Base
ball Guild posed a threat to the one
sidedness of the baseball setup."
Murphy said he was certain the
players will not be fooled by the
moguls' plan" and that "if the
threat of organization in the guild
results in minor concessions by the
owners, organization. in the guild
will be the real basis, not only in
bringing out changes in the con-
tract, but minimum wage. a per-
centage of purchase price when a
player is sold, arbitration in case
of salary dispute and many other
changes which will benefit the
player"
Holds Club Owners Insincere.
THE brass hats" he continued
have indicated a willingness to
deal with an owner-dominated play
ers' committee, built on foundations
Of sand. but they refuse to deal with
the American Baseball Guild. a
legitimate players organization
which many players have requested
1t represent them.
Could there be any greater in
dication of the club owners insin-
cerity?"
