CINCINNATI, Aug. is (AP)
Warren c. Giles, National

out a protest lodged by Bill
Rigney, manager of San Fran

Francisco-Chicago game Thurs
day.
In the fifth inning, with the
Cubs ahead 1877, Chicago's
Tony Taylor was on third base
with two out. Ernie Banks, the
batter, tapped a foul ground
ball outside the third base line,
about 5 feet foul. The ball
was travelling toward the
coaches box when Taylor,
about 20 feet down the line
toward home plate, picked up
the ball.
Rigney announced he was
playing the game under pro-
test, when the umpires refused
TO call Taylor out for inter-
ference. The umpires we're
Frank Secory, Hal Dixon,
Winnie Smith and Frank
Oascoli.
Giles wired Rigney and the
San Francisco club:
ITO allow a protest there
must be substantial evidence
that the outcome of the game
would have been different and
we find no such evidence. To
allow the protest in this case
would, in my opinion, violate
the practical purpose and spirit
of equitable baseball law. The
protest is therefore disallowec
and the game stands as played.

it should be stressed that their

1t may require a complete re-

Pappas they'll be confronting a

year-old PappaS shaded them,
4-3, on a six hitter in his first
effort, combined with Billy Loes
to hold them to five hits in a
7-3 win, then blanked them,
80, in his last outing on a
seven hitter.
Pappas will be pursuing a
18th victory, while Stobbs will
be trying for No. 2. It's been
many moons since Chuck

But Harmon Killebrew is hot
again and perhaps can help
Stobbs. Harmon contributed
two doubles and a single,
humping across two runs,
against the Yankees Thursday.
Last night against the Orioles
he slammed his seth homer, a
