 well, we are going to have . race | in our ten-team bowling league af- ter ail, thanks to the Automatics who threw the high flying Rollers for Q 3sO loss. Jus when it looked like the latter team was about to pull away from the rest of the field with their consistent winning ways, tip pops Miggles Mendiilo and his gallant crew with . different slant on things.
 Bo0m-Boom Becker took command in the first game, Ack-Ack Jager, was the heel or bero. in the second affair depending on what side of the fence you are on and the Miegle pulled the third fraerAs out of the fire with q strike an c spare in the final two frames. So, the Rollers now have their work cut out for them in order to 'fuif1ll their cap- tain's prediction that they wouldn't be. out of first place the rest of the year.

MinorLo Players
 Throw Genes

los Angeles, Dec. D.-CUPt--Base. ball whs faced with ile gfavess probelln since the Black BOx scalis dal back in iDio today as it major and minor leagues met igi separate conferences to decide what 0 do about the gambling evil which is plagulfg tho game.
 W. c. Bramhafn, who at 72 and in ill health, is stepping down @ the czar Of minor league baseball in favor of George Tratitmafi, ffines cd no words in disclosing that the game was in jeopardy because Of the inrQads of gamblers.
 1le said, and backed it with proof, that minor league players were throwing bail games, betting against their own clubs mad operating in collision with gamblers to give oF- gatllzed baseball its biggest problem since the Chicago White Box "sold" the 1919 World Series Co the Cins cinnati Reds.
 Ready Fer Combat
 None of the a minor league presidents present at this Winter conference of National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues would admit that they had the gambling problem which Brainhain disclosed in his fina1 report, but there we're plenty of indications that the men who direct the game were ready to take steps to combat the racketeering element.
 Advised by Bramham that the slt. uation was "gettIng worse instead of better" the minors were prepared to do everything within their power to bring baseball back to . sports rather than c gambling level.
 They faced e major job and even the major leagues, which began their winter meetings today, were expected to deive into the problem Although Baseball Commissioner A B. (ffappy) Chandler said that he had not been advised of any gamb. ling troubles in the minors and thai it was tip to those concerned to dc their own house cleaning, if such was necessary, the i0 National and American League club owners real' ized the gambling is becoming e widespread that steps to curb ! should be taken.
 Consider Other Matters
 Officially, the National and Am. erican League in their separate ses- sions today were to consider tns players pension plan, the new rIiatol minor league agreement, possipls limitation of night baseball and as. sorted other matters, but it was good bet that the gambling evi which Bramham disclosde yesterdal in his final report as csar of tn' minors would come up for consider ation.
 While the majors were meeting the minors were scheduled to con vene to elect Trautman, genera manager of the Detroit Tigers af1s former president of the Americai Association, as Bramham's successo .-they were reported willing to giv him q five-year contract at e2s O0 a year and already had voted ' retire BramhaTn at s1O.O00 a year Il the role of 6 cof1sultant. No definit date was set for Bramham's retire ment but twill come when he in ishes up the work which this con veution produceS.

81 Billions UCC Fund In Reserve

Washington. Nov. IL. - Up, -
Social Security Commissioner Ar
thur J. Altmeyer declared today
this country's employment insurance

will serve as an effective brake
against any widespread depression.
With that amount Ct emergency

ers, Altmcycr said he doubted that
any postwar economic shakcdown
could mushroom into the proportions
of the 1898 break.
While emphasizing that he is sid
ing neither with those economists
who look for at least temporary
recession next year, nor those who
say the country is in for a long
period of prosperity. the social Sc
curity chief said he believed the
healthy accumulation Of reserves
in the fund" will:

preston from occurring, because
people know The money is there
waiting lot workers who lose .hcir
jobs:
2. Prevent any really serious de-
preston" because payments from
the fund will tend &c bolster pur-
chasing power Just when ii begins
to decline dangerously.
The fund is based on payroll
taxes ranging up to three per cent
on employers OF eight or more per-
sons. The money thus collected is
held in trust for the states. which
administer their own Unemployment

COP Says President
Can Have Their Aid
In Middle OF Road

Washington, Nov. 12.-(P,-Re-
DrHlicfrs stipulated TODAY tha;
President Truman will havc "a 90
dcWn the middle of the road in his
legislative proposals if he wants
thelr cooperation in the new Cop
controlled Congress.
From Senator William F. Know
lahd, California, and c. Wayland
BROOKS, Illinois, came assertions
that their fellow RcDubli ;ans will
not accept what Knowland called
"PAC-drafted" Iaw-makine pro-
gram and what Brooks labeled
completely socialistic proposals."
we need some of the same unity
OF purpose that has marked tho
development Of our non-partisan
foreign policy in solving the coun-
tryS grave domestic policies"
knowland tcld reporter. 1--WE
cont want the nation to swing
either too far 10 the left or toe far
TO the right. We want to keep il on
an even keel. And we don't want
any PAC-drafted legislative pro-
gram showed at us as it was in the
past"
Brooks said he wondered whether
the Presidents cCnciliatory bid for
a political truce on pressing natl
onal problems would be any more
lasting and effective than Mr.. Tru-
mans appeal for the same sort of
cooperation when he took office 19
months ago.
