NEW YORK N-When the time
comes to pick a Comeback of
the Year" for 1854, here is 4 mo-
ton that the secretary cast a
unanimous ballot for Bobby Teller,
one of the greatest pitchers Of all
time.
Bobby won't like it for he Is q
proud man who insists he never
was away, Yet, he must know the
Cleveland club all but gave up on
him in so and 50 and took him
off the regular starting rotation
for a stretch.
Time glides by in this business
or any other-and the 17-year-old
Iowa plowboy of 1895 becomes, at
IS, a veteran "in the twilight of
his career" as the boys dearly
love to write.
It seems only yesterday that you
read about the farm boy from Van
Meter, Iowa, who struck out eight
St. Louis Cardinals In three innings
in an exhibition game, his first
appearance against . major league
team. But that was IS years ago.
Old-timers who Travelled with the
New York Giants in 1887 still like
to tell about the first time they
saw Teller, and the crack Dick

"Best-Played"
PEA Match
Seen Today
BY HUGH FULLERTON JR.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Up - Chick
Harbert and Wally Burkemo, two
golfers who thrive on the kind of
competition where you face the
other fellow and try to beat him
down, meet today in the final
match of what may be the best
played PGA Championship in the
postwar era.
1t is the second man-to-man
clash between these two who live
and work scarcely 10 miles apart
in suburban Detroit, and the third
PEA final for each.
In yesterdays grueling 36-hole

Middlecoff with one brief string of
birdie shooting, let him get awav

had to go clear to the seth green
to down Tommy Bolt, l up.
Burkemo and Harbert clashed in
the second round of the 1851 PGA

blue-eyed Burkemo won on the 18th
hole. That was when Wally, play.

The Lip Say
There Is No
Cause For
Alarm Yet
BY JOE REIcHLER
AP Sporfs Writer

The possibility of q Giant col
lapse was pooh-poohed by Man
ager Leo Durocher today but New
York fans had cause for alarm.
A humilitating 81 loss to Brook
lyn last night stretched the slump
ridden Giants losing streak to i've
straight and chiseled their first
place lead over the Dodgers to
only three. =.
"Im not worried about thing, !"
Durocher said after last nights
loss. "We're still in a great spot.
They've still got to catch US.
"Sure, we're in a little slump.
But I think the worst is over. We
were due to level off a bit the way
we were going before the An-Star
Game. Now we're back home for
q long spell and everything Will
be all right"
The Dodgers 15-hit victory was
their first over Sal Magle at
Ebbets Field. Maglie had whipped
them 10 straight times in Brook
Ign.
Milwaukee's Braves, whose dim
med uennant chances began to
flicker anew after their three-game
sweep Of the Giants over the past
weekend, made it five in a row
with a 81 victory over Pittsburgh.
Gene Conley, Milwaukee's 6-foot-S
rookie Highlander, doled out four
hits while Billy Bruton and Eddie
Mathews were providing the often
sive spark to move the birthplace
Braves to within 101s games Of
the Giants.
Bruton opened the game with a
triple off loser Bob Purkey and
scored on q single by Mathews.
In the third, Bruton singled, stole
second and scored on Mathews
second single. Doubles by Joe Ad'
cock and Andy Pafko in the sixth
accounted for Milwaukee'S third
run.
ALI other clubs had an off day
as they girded themselves for the
busy schedule today. The spotlight
is on Chicago, where the second
place New York Yankees and third
place White Sox meet in the frs
of a three-game series. Cleveland
which leads the Yankees by 9
game and q half, is host t.
Boston's Red Sox, whom they've
beaten Is times In IA meetings.
The Dodgers, who were SEIZED
uled to meet Chicago's Cubs thi.
afternoon, made short work o.
Maglie last night, blasting him fol
IL hits before sending him to the
showers in the sixth inning. They
continued their barrage on reliev
ers Hoyt Wilhelm, Paul Giel anC
AL Corwin. Pee Wee Reese anC
Jackie Robinson collected tire,
hits apiece.
The Giants, who had whipped thu
Dodgers in their last six meetings
were limited 70 five hits by Car
Erskine.'

Majors Drop
Interleague
Plan For Now

NEW YORK 1 - The major
leagues have dropped Hank Green
berg's idea Of an interleague sched-
ule, at least for 1855, and have
agreed on a new rule to ban sign
ing of college baseball players who
have started their second academ-
ic year.
Milwaukee gets the 1855 All-Star
Game, at q date to be determined
later, and the problems of Carib-
bean winter baseball are to be
solved at final conference today
between the Latin delegates and
Commissioner Ford Frick.
The Caribbean leagues agree to
end their seasons and playoffs by
Feb. Is for permission to use no
more than five players from each
major league team, of which at
least two will be rockies who have
appeared in less than IS games.
All is set except the actual final
agreement between Prick and the
delegates. Player requests to deal
directly with the Caribbean teams
were rejected.
Prick said Greenberg's inter-
league proposal was withdrawn by
the Cleveland General Manager at
the joint meeting after being dis
cussed at each separate league
meeting.
The college rule represents a vic
tory for Everett (Eppie) Barnes,
Colgate athletic director, who
fought for many years to get some
protection for college players.

a two-handed blaster, made a

In his first Turner bout, Jones
fought the Philadelphia puncher at
his own game, using stiff left jabs
and matching Gil punch for punch
to win an upset victory. A month
later, Jones entered the ring with
Turner facing him and was again
the underdog. In this fight the me-

a right to the chin and drove q
solid left to the body. Turner sag

Jones smashed him with both

from a cut eye, Turner lurched
across the ring as the referee step

note what the leading columnists

along the conclusions of a short

street goes haywire sometimes
but not often.
Present Wall Street Prices
We cannot go by prices alone
when the newspapers headline the
financial news: HIGHEST BOND
PRICES OF THE YEAR.. or

TINUE TO ADVANCE" For MANY
investors have stocks and. bonds
which still show them a loss; while
some farmers and manufacturers
are selling their products below
cost. Why this inconsistency?
AS ! have said before, the high.
stock prices are caused primarily
by the thousands of Mutual Trust
statesmen who are selling their
Funds shares all over the country.
The money received for these In

buy goes into securities selected
by the Trusts managers. Most of
this money is placed in a few
