Raiders Lose To
Worthington And
Beat Washington
BY Lyn Martin

London Red Raiders lost a close
one to their old Mid-Six rivals
Worthington 2-4 on the winners S
diamond Tuesday.
The London boys wanted to win
this game to make up for their
earlier April defeat by the Cards
and to make the Mid-Six champ
ionShip a cinche. Instead, the
Cards cleaned them again, and
the Mid-Six championship is gone
forever unless they can whip
Westerville Friday in which case
they'll tie Worthington.
But the baseball news isn't
all bad this week, the Raiders
won revenge Thursday from the
Washington c. H. Blue Lions Sd.
London met the Lions in their
opener this year and We're skunk

Tom Bopeley pitched for the
LISerS for the first five innings
and struck out 8 Washington lads,
walked 3, and gave up hits. Zap
Simpson took over on the mound
for the next two innings tanning
Lions, walking 2, and allowing
one single.

Playoffs Mark
Record Of US
Open June IL
AP Newsfeatures

BIRMINGHAM, fgICI.-If past
cords are any indication,
chances are that a play-off may
be necessary to decide the 1851
u. S. Open Golf Championship at
Oakland Hills Country Club, June
14-16.
In 81 Opens, deadlocks have
resulted at the end of the regula-
tion y holes on 18 occasions. Five
of the last eight Opens have been
ties. Three of these were triple
ties.
Six times the open enued i'm a
triple tie. Four tines there was a
tie in the first playoff, resulting
in a double playoff. Sounds com
plicated but the history of the
US Open is splashed with all sorts
of dramatic episodes.
Who can forget last year when
little Ben Hogan, in a triple play
off, shot 80 to defeat Lloyd
Mangrum (73) and George Fazio
(75).
Most decisive victory in a play
off was the % stroke margin by
which Bobby Jones knocked off All
Espinosa in the 1929 Open. That
was the fourth Open victory for
the Atlanta amateur.
The longest playoff saw Billy
Burke go 70 holes to nose out
George Won Elm by one stroke
in 1881. The playoff was 36 holes
in those days.
Another dramatic moment oc-
cured in 1910 when brother was
pitted against brother in a play
off. Alex Smith beat his brother
Macdonald Smith, as we'll as J. J.
McDermott in triple playoff that
year.

'Basing Point Bill
Passed by Senate;
Foes Forecast Veto
BY the Associotsd Press

The Senate has passed and sent
to the House hotly disputed bill
known as a "basing point" bill
which is hailed as a panacea fol
business uncertainties and de-
nomced as a protector of dis
lcriminatory price practices.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada. one of the sponsors, said
today he thought the measure
had a good chance in the House,
since a somewhat similar bill got
through Congress last year.
However, President Truman We
ltoed that measure and foes of the
new bill predicted on the Senate
floor that he would give it sim
Iilar treatment.
Lacks Veto Strength.
Senate passage was by a AZ
to-34 vote, not enough for the
two thirds margin required to
override veto if all of the 20
Iabsentees supported the bill.
The measure would make it a
complete defense against a price
discrimination charge for a seller
to show his price cut was made
IN good faith to meet the equally
low price Of a competitor.
Opponents said this in effect
would kill the Robinson-Patman
Act. which they said was passed
in 1896 to close just such a good
faith" loophole in the 1914 Clay
ton Antitrust Act.
The Government could not win
price discrimination cases under
the Clayton Act because it could
not prove bad faith, these Sena-
tors argued.
Small Business Hurt.
Thus, they said, before 1886
big business firms were able to
make all sorts of price discrimin-
Iations and gobble up many small
enterprises.
Sponsors of the measure con-
tended that the language in the
bill merely followed a recent
Supreme Court decision affecting
the Robinson-Patman Act case.
They said, however, that the
Federal Trade Commission had
refused to accept the high courts
view and that business men still
were uncertain whether they could
make competitive price cuts or
absorb freight to meet competi-
tive situations.
The new bill. they added, would
end this uncertainty.
