Report Has hewhouseI
Sold 10 bosox, Veech
Leaving Indians
By the Associotsd Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 9.-The rumor
factory was working overtime to-
night ut the World Series press
party.
Highly interesting, but uncon-
flrmed reports circulated through
the several hundred scribes and
baseball men, big and little.
The most momentous rumors
we're:
l.-That Prince Hal Newhouser
ace of the Detroit Tiger pitching
staff and the outstanding left
handler in the business, has been
sold to the Boston Red Sox. The
figure was rumored around a
quarter million dollars, most of it to
be paid in playing talent.
Billy Evans. general manager of
the Detroit club, however, said:
THE report is absolutely untrue.
Newhouser will be pitching for De-
troit next year. I'm not trying to
sell players. I'm trying to buy them" "
Despite Evans denial, the rumor
continued to circulate.
Casey Stengel, manager of
Oaklnad. Calf. club, champions of
the Pacific Coast Loop, will be named
manager Of the New York Yankees,
replacing "Bucky' Harris, who was
dropped at the end of the season.
Stengel is close friend of Del
Webb. part owner of the Yanks
and is well-liked by General Man
ager George Weiss.
Bill Veeck, sport -shirted presi-
dent of the Cleveland Indians and
recognized as the greatest promoter
in the game. will sever his connec-
tions with the Tribe shortly after
the World Series ends. Hank Green
berg. second largest stockholder and
former home run star, will take
over as preXy.
Should Veeck actually leave the
Cleveland club, which he has built
into one of the most valuable bits
of baseball property in the country,
the rumors have him Cd trying to
gain control of the Chicago White
Sox, (2) trying to purchase the Los
Angeles club of the Coast League
from Phil Wrigley and then at
tempting to get into any major
league setup involving coast teams.
4The Boston Red Sox have
already traded Third Baseman
Johnny Pesky to the Washington
Mats for First Baseman Mickey Ver-
non, with the Red Sox switching
Billy Goodman, fashy rookie, from
first to third base.
5-Steve O'Neill will be released
as manager of the Detroit Tigers.
His one-year contract. does not ex-
pire until December 81.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 9.-Umpire
Bill Stewart declared after the game
today that the play wasn't even
close" when he called Manager Lou
Boudreau out at third base in the
first inning and drew a lusty boo
ing from the big pro Cleveland
crowd at the fourth game of the
World Series.
ASK Elliott about the play
Stewart said when he first reached
the dressing room.
Elliott's post-game comment, an
emphatic one. was:
Sure he was out. I got a perfect
throw from AL Dark and tagged him
right on the left shoe as he slid in
Boudreaus version was:
"As I ran toward second base
looked up and saw the ball hitting
the rightfield fence and that Tommy
Holmes was after it. After passing
second. looked at Bill Coach Nc
Kechnie) and he had his hands
up. "a signal to hold up a second }
But 1t was too late"
Boudreau's hit scored Dale Mitch
ell with the first run of the game
The close play was a result of a
perfect relay, Holmes to Dark to
Elliott, after Boudreau doubled
down the rightfield line.
AS the ball hit the rightfield fence
on the bounce, Boudreau turned his
head to watch it. He passed second
and kept right on going to third
Holmes picked up the ball and his
throw went over Second Baseman
Eddie Stanky's head, but Dark took
the throw. The rookie Boston Short
stop turned toward third and threw
: perfect strike to Elliott, who put
the ball on Boudreau
The play brought an immediate
roar from the record crowd OF 81 1897
fans. They booed Stewart yesterday
when he appeared behind the plate
apparently because of a decision in
the first series game at Boston. In
that game, Stewart called Phil Mast,
Braves catcher. safe at second base
as he slid to escape being trapped
by Bob Feller and Boudreau. Mast

Even with Larry Doby's home run and the
homer that Marv Rickert belted, you had the feel
ing the hitters were swinging with fungo sticks
You found yourself wondering If the pitchers
really were as good as they've looked or If the hit
tiers haven't made them look good. You found
yourself deciding the hitters are to blame.
Take Johnny Sain, for example. sain was
pitching with only two days Of rest. He looked
tired. He threw as If he were tired. Yet he held
the Indians to i've hits, and one Of them was
tainted.

MASS MINING E
 AGAIN ADVOCATED

WASHINGTON, April 22.-R- Present methods of mining non- ferrous metals were described today by Rep. Russell (R-Nev) as "selec- tive robbing"
 The result, he said in the Con- gressional Record, is to leave dangerously high proportion of low grade. competitive ores. in the nations reserves of copper, lead and zinc.
 He advocated return to mass mining, in which both high-grade and low-grade ores are extracted in the same operation.
 Under the stimulus of the prem iuin price plan during the war he said costs per ton of ore at many western mines dropped as much as 30 percent despite rising wages. He attributed this to en- couragement of mass mining under the plan, which authorized fedora payments to producers for produc- ton in excess of normal years.
 He said his bill, to re-establist incentive payments on a little diff ferent basis, will accomplish the same results.

ANT|-A|RCRAFT TROOPS COMING N
N,362 ALASKAN
 SEAL SKINS ARE
 SOLD AT AUCTION
Second Largest Offering, Second Highest Re-
 turn in History

WASHINGTON. April 22.-LRl- The Federal government sold 29,362 Alaskan seal skins for S2,057, ,787.5o Monday, the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice said today.
 This was the second largest offering and second highest return in the history of the Federal man agement of the Pribilof Islands seal herds.
 The semi-annual auctions at St Louis, Mo, are considered the barometer of the fur trade.
 The average price per skin at this weeks auction was $70.l0 compared with an average last fall of S57.92, and the April, l947, av- craze of $48.75.
 The record was established at the April, 1946, auction, when gross payments totaled $2,453,l56 for an average of $87.51 per skin.
 The increase this year is due chiefly to the fact that an un- usually large portion of the offer ing consisted of large skins, which are in demand for the longer coats now in fashion.
 The 17,500 prized matar-finished or neutral brown skins averaged $75.79, an increase of 0.6 percent  over last October's sale.
 In addition to the seal skins, the Federal Government received s2,25o from the sale of 497 blue fox pelts,
 At the auction last October, 25,430 seal skins brought $l,482,874, while 543 fox pelts brought $3,254.
 Four thousand Cape of Good Hope seal skins belonging to the South African government brought an average Of $29.58, a decline of 8 percent.
