Laurel Changes Rules
On Receiving ( Barns
After Compromise
BY the Associated Press

LAUREL, Md, Oct. 8.-Several
changes became effective today in
the Maryland State Racing Com
missions mandatory receiving barn
program at Laurel in an effort to
meet objections to some of its
features.
Under the. changes, trainers will
be permitted to leave coolers
buckets, ETC., in care of the receiv-
ing barn custodian who will be re-
sponsible for all equipment. This
equipment can be picked up after
the seventh race or in the morning, y
an announcement said.
Written permission will be granted
by the stewards, or by DR.. Frank
M. Keller, chief veterinarian, to
trainers who want ponies to ac-
company their horses to the re-
ceiving barn.
The changes were seen as a COM
promise to previously voiced OBJ
jections.
A closed meeting was held by the
horsemen late yesterday to discuss
the situation, but no announce
ment was made at its conclusion.
Meanwhile, a defense counsel's
request Tor a special court-super-
vised horse race in connection with
the trial of two Washington horse
men on ringer charges was before
Criminal Court Judge E. Paul
Mason at Baltimore.
The defendants, James S. O'Don-
nell and Robert Bennett Sanner,
were to appear in Criminal Court
today to face charges that O'Don-
nell's horse Flying kits was run
on two days at Pimlico under the
name and in place of Rounco,
trained by Sanner and owned by
his wife.
The special race request was made
to the court by Attorney James J.
Laughlin, counsel for ODonnell.

The biggest mystery among base
ball men today was Ted Williams
stubborn refusal even to attempt a
hit to left field, which has been more
desolate than the Sahara whenever
the Red Sox slugger comes to bat in
the series.
williams considers that right
side switch personal challenge; he
won't bunt nor try to poke a ball
into left field-not the way he loves
to hit home runs" remarked one
observer.
However, Williams admitted he
tried not once, but twice yesterday
to hit one down the third base Sec
ton left entirely uncovered by the
Eddie Dyer strategy.
Il haven't quit because I believe
I'll get my share of hits no matter
what defense they cook up for me, :"

1.-The Cat" scratched us back
good.
Mickey Harris pitched a good
game for us. He had some tough
breaks. He had the same kind
of tough luck that Pollet had
Sunday. A couple OF balls
bounced badly for Mickey. But
you can't expect to win any
games If you don't make any
runs. The Cardinals exploded
the theory that If you stop Musial
and Slaughter. you stop their
attack. We stopped Musial and
Slaughter, but Del Rice took up
the slack. He showed us that
you can't overlook anybody on
the st. Louis team.
Somebody was kidding me
about the defense the Cardinals
use against me. He said the
Cardinals found a defense to
stop williams. but they'll have
to find a carpenter to stop York. =
Well, the Cards didn't have to
move the bleachers back for us
yesterday. Brecheen may not
be a carpenter. but he sure made
those fences seem long way of.

held the great Ted Williams to
one hit in seven trips. Rudy York's
game-winning homer in the first
game was the only Boston extra
base hit.
Brecheen's swerving screw ball

on second base as a result of his
double to the left field wall. THE

in Rice with run that proved
enough to beat Mickey Harris, the
rival southpaw. !.
Dyer's appointment of Rice as
catcher was master move, since
Rice added a leadoff single in the
fifth which provoked two-run up

After Rice's single to left, Brecheen
dropped bunt down the third base
line. Pinky Higgins rushed in for
the ball, and threw wild into short
center field. Rice wound up on
third, and the alert Brecheen on
second. Terry Moore's single drove
in Rice, and Brecheen came across
with the last run of the day while
the Bobby Doerr-Pesky-York COM
bination was trying futilely for q
double play on Stan Musial's rap to
second base.
Brecheen struck out four men and
walked three. One of the passes was

Flood Of Advice Given
On Hem QuadrupIets
By the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE. Dec. 26-Free ad-
vice, never very scarce, is one thing
parents of quadruplets get in plenty,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles HEM were
finding out today.
But at least some of it came from
highly qualified sources-parents of
other foursomes.
The latter type of counsel was
sought by the Henns attorney,
Herbert c. Fooks. who was informed
by DR.. George w. Croner, director
of the Carnegie Institutes depart
ment of embryology, that there
were II births of living quadruplets
In America in the last 80 years.
One of the fathers who underwent
the experience, sent the following
note of warning, but requested
anonymity:
wild rumors about an avalanche
of wealth have no foundation in
fact"
He went on to expain to the
Henns, whose quads, three boys and
girl, were born Sunday, that his
four rapidly drained away the nest
egg he and his wife had saved up
and that it had been fairly difficult
ever since
About the only thing he got free
lbesides advice was comparatively
modest sum covering advertisement
rights to his babies pictures, he
reported.
He concluded: Its no fun. The
only joy is in the children them
selves and in the laughs afforded
by youngsters of the same age"
