Standard Time Creates
Problem for Braves
ey the AssocIoted Press

MILWAUKEE,, July braves
officials are worried over the in
compatibility of double headers
and standard time this far west.
The second games of sched-
uled Sunday double headers
have been halted by darkness
here twice in the past two weeks
and the lights were turned on
to finish the twin bill on July 4.
All afternoon games here,
double-headers and single con-
tests alike, start at 1880 pm,
central standard time. Milwau-
kee is the leagues only city in
the central time zone that does
not have daylight time. A ref
erendum several years ago re-
suited in a State law which bans
the advancing of clocks one hour
in the summer.
Il don't know what we can
do about it," said Joseph Cairnes,
executive vice president. I'm
afraid some people would object
to starting games a half hour
earlier on Sundays, because of
church."

The major league executive.
in Dallas to see Cincinnati's
Tulsa farm club, said something
had to be done and that he be-
lieved independent ownership Of
minor league clubs and an un-
restricted draft were the answer.
Baseball attendance is down
compared to the boom years
after the war, Paul declared, but
it is better than it was before
the war. Cost of operation,
however, is double. In those days
a Class B club drawing $4,000
was considered a wonder. Today
it has to draw 100000 to break
even."
Paul said independent owner
ship would mean ball clubs would
have players to sell-Something
they used to do in order to make
profit. Now too many Of the
players are controlled through
working agreements and major
league ownership.
Paul admitted that at the time
the majors moved into the farm
club operation, minor league
baseball needed it to survive, but
he said it had created a situa-
ton under which the independent
operator couldn't compete he
couldn't get the players to meet
the competition furnished by the
chains. An unrestricted draft
would give him a chance at those
players, Paul explained.
II believe that if the farm
system was done away with it
would mean a cheaper and better
operation for the majors" Paul
declared. "They can buy players
cheaper than they can develop
them with costly farm opera
tionS."

Hi-Lo's 10 Get Test
In $4,000 Feature

The sulkies will be rolling
again tonight at Laurel Race
way after an off-night due to
rain. 1t is a well-balanced pro-
gram, featuring a class II pace
in the seventh race, but harness
folk can't help looking ahead to
tomorrow nights $4,000 Laurel
Cup Pace.
The Cup, last big event on the
midway tracks 20-night meeting,
drew six entries. Record-break-
ing Hi-Lo'S Forbes is the stand
out of the group, but he's got
enough competition to make it
a race and it has stirred up some
interest in the stable area.
Hi-Lo's Forbes, with Henry
Clukey driving, drew the No. 4
post position, good enough in a
small field. Solicitor, with John
Simpson driving, drew the pole,
followed by Guinea Gold, Paul
Hungerford driving, and Chuck
Volo, piloted by Wendell Wathen.
Freddy Hawk. with Doc Allen
in the buggy, will leave from the
outside.
Guinea Gold Gets Support.
Some Of the fans, particularly
Laurel's publicity man, are talk
ing about Guinea Gold, a 9-year-
old who has been near retire
ment three times because of
fractured bones. He won 10 out
of 20 races in 1951-16 in a row
and last year scored IL vic
tories, 5 seconds and 2 thirds in
20 starts.
Others like the chances of
Meadow Rice. who chased Hi
Los Forbes to his world record
of 1885 at New York. and to
his Maryland State mark of
2:012s at Rosecroft. Winner of
the Little Brown jug last year,
Meadow Rice will have Del Miller
at the reins and seems to be the
one to beat, judging by past per-
tormanceS.

Bill Burton's Banner Direct,
Henry Aliens Hopewell and
Johnny Amato's Ichabod Grain

| Plumbers Set 10 Drop
Runnerup Role After
Winning First Half

Manager Jack Hoffman, OF
Atchison & Keller, whose team
managed to salvage one of the
two sandlot championships de-
cided in the last three days, is
eyeing the second half in the
Departmental League with a
brighter outlook than in recent
years.
The last time the Plumbers
won the Departmental cham
pionship was 1949. Since then,
they have been runnersup to
the Fire Department in 1850 and
1851 and to FBI in 1852. Dur
ing that period, AK twice won
the National City Sunday League
which was considered as fast
as any league in the area.
Before FBT dropped out of
the Departmental League sew
eral weeks ago, the Plumbers
were the only team to beat the
strong defending champions,
and they did it twice in three
tries. Hoffman figured that if
his team could do that, it should
win the title. Yesterday, Ask
beat Union Printers, 6-3, for
the f1rst-half championship and
the first step toward dropping
the perennial runnerup role.
Schaefer Hurls Victory.
Dutch Schaefer, the only fit
pitcher on Axis staff, turned
in a neat eight-hitter while his
teammates collected 10 safeties
of two Printer hurlerS.
The Plumbers pecked at Benny
Duvall for single runs in the first,
fourth and fifth innings and then
exploded for three in the eighth.
Duke Coppage drove in the win
ming run with a single to left
field that scored Ted Watson
from third. Charlie Yancy,
A&K's leading batter for the day,
came home on an error and then
Bob Dewdney singled in Cop
page in the big eighth inning.
The Printers scores came on
a three-run homer by Tom War;
ner in the fourth inning. The
game was played on the South
Ellipse.
On the West Ellipse, the Heu-
rich Brewers nine-game winning
streak ended as Western Branch
Boys Club mauled five pitchers
for a 1913 victory. The Brewers
came up with five runs in the
bottom of the eighth to make the
score more respectable for the
defending city champions. It
was the Boys Clubs second vic
tory in six games and Heurich's S
first loss in six in the Industrial
League second half.
MATS Take First Place.
Military Air Transport Serv-
ices took undisputed possession
OF first place in the Ellipse
League with a 1910 win over
American Security and Trust on
the East Ellipse. Dick Siedell
yielded only three hits and struck
out II to win his sixth in seven
decisions. MATS has a 20 rec
ord and American Security is
O-3 in second-half play.
In the Anacostia League, Jack
Pry defeated Used Car, lis,
and Swift Electric turned back
Snug Harbor. I'll, in games
