|0MaIIey Says
Giants May Go
If Brooks Move

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 R.-
New York City today faced the
alarming possibility Of becoming
Ia "ghost" baseball town housing
lust one major league team.
The Dodgers have threatened
to move and Walter O'Malley,
Brooklyn president, predicted
that If his club pulls out the
Giants win, too. O'Malley point
led out that the Dodgers have
drawn $4,000 spectators to the
Polo Grounds in II games this
year while the six other National
League clubs have attracted
| $50, 900 fans in 20 games.
"If one team goes, the other
will co." O'Malley said. TITS
unlikely that one team or the
other would move"
O'Malley tossed a bombshell
Into the baseball world earlier
in the week when he announced
the Dodgers would play seven
home games in Jersey City
next year. He followed that with
Ia threat to pull out Of Brooklyn
III a suitable site is not found
for a new park.
With that in mind, city ON
|cials, headed by Mayor Robert
Wagner, called a meeting yes
|terday.
Out of 1t came the following:
!. O'Malley is serious in his
threat to pull out of Brooklyn.
2. The Giants, in the person
of Owner Horace Stoneham, are
behind O'Malley.
8. O'Malley's last hope for a
site in downtown Brooklyn was
shattered.
| 4. Talk Of a great municipal
stadium was revived.
5. City Hall is worried.

Meanwhile, Scooter Scudero
will undergo an operation today
to correct a dislocated rib carti-

caused when Scudero's thumb

It was first believed the injury
would correct itself, but surgery
was decided on after a thorough

CHARLES TOWN
NOTES
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va.
Aug. 20.-The 44-day Charles
Town race meeting closes this
Afternoon with a nine-race pro-
gram with the weather and its
affects hampering operations to
the very end.
The flooding Potomac and
Shenandoah rivers, swollen from
Hurricane Diane, caused can
collation. of the special race
trains from Washington yester-
day and today:
The Baltimore 81 Ohio lire
leading to Charles Town from
Harpers Ferry. w. Va, is under
water at Millville, w. Va, a few
miles from the track.
During the first 80 days of the
meet. soaring heat bleached the
track and discouraged many
fans. Then came the hurricanes
land then four days of COM
petition with Maryland's Hagers-
town track.
The temperature today is ex-
Ipected to be in the Dos.
Flood waters also delayed
some important Charles Town
papers yesterday. The train
carrying the tracks past per-
Torrance papers. sold every day
at the track and almost as i'm
portant as money. was held UP
in Philadelphia.
An express company came to
the rescue and the papers
eventually arrived shortly before
the first race, which was set
back 10 minutes.
In the interval, Frank Cronan,
Charles Towns enterprising di-
rector of publicity, quickly MINI
eographed abbreviated past per-
formances on the horses in the
first two races to accommodate
fans.

Charge 70 Jury
Subject Of Fight

NEW YORK, May Is Up
The New York Post has begun a
legal battle to make Kings
County Judge Samuel Leibowitz
furnish the paper a copy of his
charge to the jury in a recent
case.
The Post said the judge took
the view that the newspaper was
not entitled to obtain a tran
script under laws pertaining to
the situation in question.
AS a consequence, the news
paper asked the State Supreme
Court for an order which would
compel the judge and the court
stenographer to yield a copy.
The application is to be heard
May 20.
The difference arose over the
case Of Rookie Patrolman Rob-
ert Surrey, recently acquitted in
the Staying of a 15-year-old boy.
However. Surveys defense in
subsequent manslaughter trial
was taken over by the jury de-
liberation.
In an editorial accompanying
its story of efforts to obtain the
transcript Of the judges charge,
the Post said newspaper reports
indicated Judge Leibowitz had
delivered what sounded like a
summation for the defense rath-
er than a balanced charge"
But. it said, when it tried
to get complete transcript of
the charge it ran into unpre-
cedented obstacles which plain
ly indicated that the Judge did
not wish all his words to be
subjected to detailed examina-
ton"
1t quoted Judge Leibowitz as

SortoriuI SpIendor

The warm nights are upon us
again and so is sports shirt time.
So too. is the running warfare
between the guys who want to
wear sports shirts where they
want to. and the restaurant and
cafe owners who are determined
that everybody wears a necktie
n their joints. Those ridiculous
Bermuda shorts get in anywhere
and so do guys in bop boards
and berets. but every cafe man
in town stiffens in pain at the
sight Of an open-neck sports
shirt.
Of course, the restaurant boys
have to draw the line somewhere,
else some eccentricS would doubt
less arrive in undershirts or pa
jamas. but the way most of
them handle the necktie crisis
is pretty silly. They have meek
ties" which the hatchick loans
you. These vary from the clip
on boWties at Sardi's (Which
don't work and look as though
they're about to light up in neon)
to limp. tattered rags which have
had far too much mileage. You
can understand why the joint
operators insist on neckties, but
why insist on something which
can only make the customer look
twice as bad?
One guy solved the problem
at Sardis the other night. Ban
ished for being tieless, and re-
fusing the hatchick'S neon crea-
ton, he went out on the
sidewalk. removed one shoelace,
and made himself a string tie.
Looked like he was right out of
