Representatives of each minor
league classification will end
three-day study committee meet
ing here today with their final
closed session. There was no in
dlcatlon what would be discussed.
The committee, studying ways
to help the minors. sent a request
yesterday to the ST. Louis Cardi-
nails 20 cut television and radio
oroadcasts in their territory.
Leslie O'Connor, chairman of
the seven-man committee, said
the appeal was sent to August
A. Busch, Jr., owner of the Cardi-
mails. He said the Cards were
singled out because they do more
outside broadcasting than other
major league clubs.
OConnor described broadcasts
as the most serious and press
ing problem facing the minors.
He said Busch was asked either
to cut back broadcasts generally
outside the Cards area. stop
broadcaSts into areas that sup
port home teams. or halt broad
casts into areas where the home
team is PLAYING.

From time to time we've re-
marked on the unusual prof.
cheney of Bill Stalcup as bowl
ing captain. Over the years the
lean Virginian has come up with
one winner after another, form
ing combinations that weren't
particularly impressive on paper,
but becoming so by performance.
His latest creation is the
Glebe Radio team in the Dis
trict Major League, which won
the championship last season in
a breeze, but finds the going
rough in defense of it. At the
moment the Globes are second.
On top by half a game is
Takoma.
Of their performance last sea-
son, in which they hung up a
league record for average, the
Globes figured to repeat with a
comfortable margin. At the start
of the current season they had
at least an 8-point bulge in aver
age on all rivals.
Rivals Not Impressed.
The Globes average was 628.
The league places a limit of $50
on all teams except the defend
ing champions.
On the face of things, the out
look for the other seven teams in
the all-star league appeared
bleak. Strangely it wasn't-at
least not in their own eyes.
The consensus was: THE
Globes were over their heads
last season. They won't be as
good again."
Apparently it was sound reck-
oning. At this time a year ago
all five Glebes-Tom Mock, Bub
Guethler, Pat Crescent, Rocco
Nocero and Stalcup-were among
the top 10 bowlers in the league,
each with an average in excess
of 125.

Stolcup's Leadership Keeps
Globes in Bowling Title Race

After last nights matches
Mock's average was 1875; Gueth-
ler's, 1872; Crescenzi's. 122, and
Nocero's, 121. The teams aver
age was 619, nine points under
last seasons.
The Globes failure to main
tain their standard of the last
campaign presented a challenge
to Stalcup. He's met it like a
true leader, by example.
Stalcup Bolsters Average.
Last night, when the Globes
defeated Chevy Chase Chevrolet,
81, Stalcup shot a set of 397,
High for the match. Also it en-
trenched him in first place in
average. He alone of the Globes
is holding his own, or better. in
comparison with last season.
With an average of 1918 for
SO games, Stalcup is almost a
full point ahead of his nearest
rival in the individual race
Frank Micalizzi of Takoma.
That 1913 average has sustained
the Globes through their tribula-
tionS. 1t isn't reasonable to ex-
pect Stalcup to hold it to the
end. But it is reasonable to
expect the other Globes to pick
up and, by the same token, to
win more regularly.
If they repeat, the victory can
be traced to another outstanding
job of leadership by Stalcup.
In other District League
matches, Rex Engraving won
three from National Bohemian
with Bill King, the Rex sponsor,
shooting high set of Ali; Arcade
Pontiac won two from Gondola
Restaurant and Frederick, Md,
defeated Takoma, 81.
The standings: Takoma, 1926:
Glebe, 41-28; Rex, 1890; Con-
dola, 1884; Chevy Chase, 3l-35;
Frederick. 1927; Arcade Pontiac,

CHICAGO. Feb. 10. 1t was
near the end of the l948 baseball
season. Steve O'Neill had not yet
been notified that he wasn't 60
ing to manage the Tigers in
1949. so he was talking about
the future Of Johnny Groth, his
rookie outfielder.
The kid is apt to be so good,
right from the start" Steve be-
gan. that I may have to ask
newspapermen not to write too
much about him for fear he may
be subjected to undue pressure. "
Then he put Johnny into the
lineup for the last six games of
that season. Groth hit All in II
trips to the plate. That was
when Hoot Evers, then the De-
troit centerf1elder, remarked:
From now on I'm a leftfielder
I'll never get my old job
back again"
Now. five years later. Groth Is
with the White Sox. The bloom
is of the rose, SO to speak, but
if he could have at least one
overpowering year which destiny
always has appeared to have in
store for him. the White SoX

Because 1t would entail con-
siderable expense. he could have
used some extra dough. The
White Sox had made overtures
for Bob Turley. promising st.
Louis pitcher, for whom they
would have paid $50, 900 plus two
players.
But Baltimore bought out
Veeck, hired Art Ehlers and Jim
Dykes to run the team and Tur-
ley was off the market. So Frank
