Full Warning Given
Mats Hur|ers: Pitch
Shutout. or Get Beat
By Burton Howkins

Bob Porterfield will attempt to
snap the Indians six-game WIN
ming streak tonight, conscious
that the first run he yields may
be the one to beat him.
The Mats, who have produced
one run in AZ innings and none
in %, will try to end their hit
famine at the expense of Dave
Hoskins, rookie Negro right
handler, but their recent bat
ting against him wouldn't indi-
cate they are prepared to erupt.
The game will be televised by
Station WT1G.
In the last 10 innings Hoskins
has worked against Washington,
in three relief jobs, he has per-
mitted two hits and no runs.
He carries a Al record into the
game, while Porterf1eld will be
seeking 18th win and his third
in as many starts against Cleve-
land
For the fifth straight game
the Mats were involved in a shut
out last night as Mike Garcia
held them to five hits en- route
to a 80 victory. Chuck Stobbs
and Jerry Lane held the Indians
to five hits, but three of them
were jammed into the eighth
inning, when the Indians pro-
duced all their runs.
No Support for Pitchers.
Last Friday night the Mats
scored twice in the first inning
and Porterfield pitched three
hitter to win, 20. Since then
the Mats have lost, 40; won, 10,
and lost, 10 and 80. Over that
span Washington pitchers have
allowed only 81 hits. one less
than their feeble batters have
contributed.
Stobbs owned a two-hit shut
out for seven innings last night,
but all he had at that point was
a draw with Garcia. who had a
three hitter until the ninth.
AL Smith, rookie Negro out
fielder, launched the eighth
inning with a double to center
and after Bill Glynn fouled out,
Larry Dolby doomed a double to
right, scoring Smith. Ed Yost
fumbled AL Rosen's grounder and
the bases were filled when Stobbs
walked Wally Westlake.
Bobby Avila batted for Jim
Hogan and sent a long fly to
Jackie Jensen which enabled
Dolby to score. George Strick-
land followed with a single to
right. scoring Rosen.
Garcia's win was his 18th and

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 5.-Man-
ayers Charlie Grimm of the
Braves and Chuck Dresser Of
the Dodgers have been warned
by National League President
Warren Giles that umpires in
the current series will order re-

second offenSe.
Giles told both managers and
Jocko Conlan. head of the UNI
pire crew working the Dodgers
Braves series, that in question
able situations the batter will get
the benefit of the doubt and the
pitcher will be presumed to be
throwing a duSter.
Usual Order, Grimm Says.
Grimm, asked about Giles di-
rective, said, Its the usual order
after a fracas like the one Mon
day night. I put it on the bull
letin board where all the players
will see it,"
Dresser stated: 'It won't af-
feet me, because I never tell my
pitchers to throw busters"
Braves and Dodgers surged
out of the dugoutS Monday night
as Milwaukee Pitcher Lew Bur-
dette and Dodger Catcher Roy
Campanella squared off after
Burdette struck out Campanella.
The husky Negro backStop had

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. s.
Ferris Fain's Sunday night cafe
fight today cost the White Sox
first baseman three days pay in
a flning by Manager Paul Rich
ards
The fine, based on Fain's re-
ported yearly salary of around
100000, would amount to about
$500 a day. It was based on
Fain's inability to play in Mon
days game at Washington and
the first two games of the series
with the Athletics here.
Fain suffered a cut forehead,
a skinned cheek and bruised left
hand, to be x-rayed today, in
his tavern skirmish at Colmar
Manor, Md. with James Judge,

SIX teeth as a result of the fight,
tlled a $50,000 damage suit in
District court against the two

champion.
I'll be ready to play against
the Yankees Friday" Fain said
today. But Richards thinks he
may be out longer. Fain has 20
days to file an answer to the
suit, but a summons cannot be
served on him except in the
District of Columbia.
Fox Laughs at Rumor.

FTC Charges Firm
With False Claims
On Freezers and Tv

The Federal Trade Commis-
sion announced today it has is
sued a complaint charging
Georges Radio and Television
Co., Inc, with false and mislead-
ing advertising of home freezers
and television sets.
The complaint asserts that
published and broadcast adver-
tising for Georges Food Chest
Plan" misrepresents savings to
be realized through the purchase
of a home freezer and enroll
ment in a food-distributing or
ganization emitting members to
make purchases in bulk.
The commission said that con-
trary to the company's claims.
the food distributing organiza-
tion through which the purchases
are made is not a wholesaler
and participants do not buy at
wholesale prices. Actually, ac-
cording to the commission.
substantial overall reductions
in food costs" will not result
from participation in the food
plan. 1t says that is so because:
/. In the main. frozen foods
purchased through the plan will
cost more per pound than cor
responding foods in other avail
able forms.
2. In the main, food plan
prices are considerably in ex-
cess of the usual retail prices of
foods in other forms, and are
close to and sometimes identical
with the usual retail prices of
similar frozen foods.
Cost of Operation
8. In a substantial number of
instances the increase in ex-
penses attributable to the pur-
chase and use of a home freezer
will eliminate any savings which
may result from purchase Of
food in bulk.
Georges advertising claims for
television sets were attacked in
these respects:
Sets described as brand new
were not current models.
The price listed as the regular
price for Mirrortone sets greatly
exceeds the price at which the
sets were offered for sale and
sold by Georges, and the price
at which the Mirrortone sets are
offered is not so per cent less
than the usual price.
SaIesmen's Attitude Cited.
While offers were made to sell
the sets at from 500 to $129,
Georges statesmen were reluctant
or refused to demonstrate the
sets and attempted to sell more
expensive sets.
Officers OF the corporation
cited in the complaint are George
Wasserman. Leopold Freudberg,
Solomon GroSsberg and Phillip
Keller, the commission said.
Mr.. Keller commented that
the company would be able to
prove the television sets carried
a manufacturers price as stated.
AS for the food locker plan.
he said the company was in it
only for short while, after be-
ing forced to get into it by COM
petition. He said he felt all their
advertising on the plan was
clean copy" and the charges by
the FTC were unjustified in re-
CARDS to both televiSion and
freezer advertising.

The most startling development

was the dispute between the play

II began with the players walking
out on Commissioner Ford FricE
because their lawyer, J. Norman
Lewis, couldn't attend. Prick coun-
tered with the news that the big
league club owners were consider
ing terminating the pension plan,
Prior TO that, Ralph Kiner and
Allie Reynolds, player representa-
tives of the National and American
4 eagues respectively. and an,
nounced the official retention OF
Lewis and disclosed that elections
for player representatives would

A veteran baseball official said
that means the players would have

create a players fraternity.

ers and the owners. BY the end of
World War l the fraternity was
dissolved.
Back in 1915, Robert Murphy, a
Boston lawyer, unsuecessfully al.
tempted to unionize the players but
it helped lead to changes in the
player contracts and concessions
by the owners.
High on the agenda Of the ma joT
league meetings which begin Mon
day win be player demands. These
include requests for increase in
minimum salary from $1,000 to
81 200; elimination of the 30-day
release clause; a minimum of IS
per day meal money on the road;
elimination of night games in
spring training and on getaway
days. and better facilities in GER
tain ball parks.
Most important, Of course, is the
demand for increase in pension
payments from $50 per month to
$50 for fiye-year men and from
500 to $50 per month for 1o-year
men. The players also would like
the age eligibility reduced from 50
to IS and want TO pay smaller
premiums.
The controversy between the
players and the commissioner
grows more bitter daily with for
mer and active players lining up
on both sides. Dixie Walker and
Johnny Murphy, original PLAYER
representatives. lined up with
Frick and accused the current del
egates Of ''ieopardizing' the pen
