NBC Discontinues
Use, of Big Lens
In CenterfieId

NEW YORK, July IA (AP).-
Tom Gallery, director of sports
for NBC, said today that MICS
use Of an 80-inch lens in a
camera located in centerfeld
for telecasts in the game-of-
the-week program was being
discontinued at the request of
Baseball Commissioner Ford
Prick.
The powerful lens brings the
catcher'S signals practically into
living rooms, so the viewers
clearly can see the receivers
calling pitches.
Gallery said Prick suggested
the possibility Of a club putting
a TV receiver in a dugout and
thus getting a line OH what
pitches would be thrown.
Il do not believe that would
happen" Gallery said, but to
avoid any difficulty we agreed
to discontinue use of the
camera"

AII-Sturs Shut Out
By Minneapolis
As Nichols Sturs

MINNEAPOLIS, July IA (AP) -.
Minneapolis Miller admirers
who call the club the best in
minor league baseball have a
formidable talking point. the
Millers' 20 victory over the
American Association All-Stars
last night.
1t was the first shutout of
an All-Star team in the IT.
game history of the series.
Most of the glory belonged to
Southpaw Chef Nichols, once
considered one of the shining
pitching prospects in baseball.
Working the first six innings
for Minneapolis, Nichols allowed
only one hit-an infield bouncer
by Fort Worth's Bob Will in
the fourth inning. He struck
out three while walking but
one.
Willard Nixon, like Nichols
an ex-major Lacquer fighting
arm trouble, pitched the sew
enth and eighth innings and
Duane Wilson the ninth. The
threesome smothered the Stars
on four hits.
Minneapolis got eight singles
off Georges Miranda of Louis
vile, Ed Donnelly of Denver,
Marion Fricano of Dallas and
Fred Kipp of st. Paul.

over and trotted home with a
run.
The problem:
How to score it? An error
for Howard? A run batted in
for Buddin? A stolen base for
White?
The official scorer, Henry
McKenna, first credited Buddin
with a run batted in. Then he
quickly conferred with Cronin,
who was at the game.
Cronin said he felt that
Buddin should not be credited
with the RBI, White probably
shouldn't be given a stolen
base, and the only error on
Howard was one of omission.
He said he would rule on it
later.
So the scorer changed his
decision and took the RBI away
from Buddin.
Which means White is still
on third, as least as far as
scoring is concerned. And he'll
stay there until Cronin decides
just how he got home.

HONOLULU, July IA (AP)
With less than 400 miles to
go to reach the Diamond Head
finish line, the California yawl
Chubasco hung on to a slim
lead today in the run for the
Pineapples, the annual trans
Pacific yacht race.
The Chubasco, a 66-footer
owned by Donald Haskell of
Newport Beach, Calf, picked
up strong winds last night but
the neutrality-suspicious. gusts
were aiding the 75-foot Con-
stellation even more.
The Constellation, a schooner
owned by Sally Blair Ames of
Beverly Hills, was closing fast
on the leader and a snappy
two-boat contest was shaping
up.
If the Chubasco maintains
her position, she will be the
first to finish, the first in over
all handicap and leader in her
class.
The leaders, by classes: A,

Becerra won the title by
knocking out Halimi in the
eighth round of their bout at
Los Angeles last Wednesday.
RoSales did not say what ex-
tension Of the return match
period he might ask. That

Becerra had trouble with the
leg even while he was training
