Frick Irked by Loose Talk
OF Switching Franchises
By the Assoeiafed Pres,

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-Ford
F'rick, one of the biggest sup
porters of major league ex-
pansion, says it will take more
than a ball park for an ambf-
tious city to get a big-league
franchise.
In an interview he blew the
whistle on cities which have
talked eagerly of building or
buying a park with the idea that
a major league ball club will
drop in their laps.
There is only one way in the
world to transfer major league
franchise to a minor league
town." Frick warned. THAT is an
orderly process, outlined in the
baseball rules.
THE first step is to satisfy the
local owner. The second is to
satisfy the league in whose ter
ritory you wish to move. The
third step is approval by your
own major league"
Frick said he was sick and
tired of reading in the papers
about somebody talking of build
ing ball park to get big league
club when "to the best of my
knowledge, they haven't talked
with the fellow who owns the
minor league club in that town"

Tennis Bigwigs Fear
old Folks Will Win
National Doubles
BY the Assoeiaied Press

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. "a.
Now that the foreign menace
has been somewhat eased, top
level tennis officials had some
thing else to worry about today
as the National doubles tourna-
ment reached the semifinal
stage at Longwood.
Still going in the mems and
women'S divisions are Gardnar
Mulloy, almost 80; Bill Talbert,
crowding 35; Louise Brough, 80,
and Mrs. Margaret Osborne du-
Pont, "a.
Mulloy and Talbert have won
four national team titles and
Miss Brough and Mrs. dupont
were victorious nine times in a
row before going into tempo
rary retirement two years ago.
So far this week, both of those
teams have displayed much Of
their oldtime skill.
What will happen If Mulloy
and Talbert and Mrs. Dupont
and Miss Brough become cham
pions again?" A USLT execu-
tive asked.
1T would set American tennis
back more than 10 years." a hor-
rif1ed colleague replied.
Mulloy and Talbert, who won
their last victories here in 1948,
before the Australians took over,
are paired with Straight Clark
of Pasadena, Calf, and Hal
Burrows Of Charlottesville, Va,
in the upper half's semifinal.
Since Clark and Burrows de-
feated Australian aces, Lewis
Hoad and Ken Rosewall, in
straight sets Thursday, they
probably can dispose of oldsters,
Mulloy and Talbert, if they can
avoid tailspinS.
But Miss Brough and Mrs. Du-
Pont are top-heavy favorites for
their semifinals clash with
British Wightman Cup players.
Helen Fletcher and Mrs. Jean
Quertier Rinkel. The victors will
move against Title Defenders

The other mems semifinal will
be between United States Davis
Cuppers Vic Seixas and Tony
Trabert and Australian second
Stringers Mervyn Rose and Rex
Hartwig. Seixas and Rose shared
the 1852 doubles titles.
Still hampered by the right
knee he wrenched at Newport.
'R. l., last Sunday, Seixas gave
an excellent account of himself
yesterday while he and Trabert
were conquering another Aus
tralian tandem, Give Wilderspin
and Ian Ayre, 8-6, 6-1, GO.
Last week, at Newport, Seixas
and Trabert disposed of Rose
and Hartwig, rs, 3-6, rs.

AussieS reached that point here
yesterday by defeating Grant
