Direct Primary Bill
Runs Into Trouble
In Second Senate Try
The Door, However, Has
Been Left Open In Or
der That The Imp0r-
tant Bill May Get An
other Chance.

The State Senate, Wednesday,
threw another shovelful of earth
on the grave of a direct primary
election bill.
BY a vote of ST, the Senate de-
feated a move to resurrect the bill
(SB 1S1 with SA u from a thump-
ing defeat Monday.
The legislation would authorize
direct primaries for statewide can
didates. Names could be placed on
the ballot by filing petition sign
ed by two per cent of the voters in
the last election for the office or by
winning 20 per cent or more of the
delegate vote at a party convention.
The bill went down to defeat
Monday after Senator Walter ].
Hoey (D-MilfQrd) had been sue
cessful in amending it to require
that a statewide primary candidate
win majority in at least two Of
the three counties.
Downstate folk interested in the
bill want the Hoey amendment and
little chance of the bill obtaining
final passage is seen if the amend
ment is eliminated
The bill as amended would have
in effect allowed a candidate de-
feated in a party convention, and
at the primary polls, to get the
nomination nod. All he would have
to do would be to get at least 20
per cent of the convention votes,
and a majority of one vote each in
Kent and Sussex Counties.
Wednesday, Senator Margaret r.
Manning (R-Marshallton), one of
the bills sponsors, introduced an
amendment which simply would
have eliminated the Hoey amend
ment
Without discussion, the Senate
rejected the amendment ST with
two absent (EscCullough and TulD
Opposing the amendment were five
Democrats Cook. Donovan, Hoey,
Mayhem, and Price, and three
downstate Republicans (Spicer
Wilgus. and SIMPSON,. The vote
was not tabled, indicating that an
other maneuver will be tried.

Bud ZipfeI Goes
Into Marines for
Six-Month Stint

Bud Zipfel, the Senator's
rookie first baSeman, today
signed up with the Marine
Reserve and thus increased the
likelihood that he will be
available for baseball next
season.
Faced with the military draft,
which presumably could have
taken him out of professional
baseball for as long as three
years, zipfel now will have to
give up only six months at one
time to the service.
He will report to Paris
Island, S. c., late this month
or early October for three
months of recruit training. He
will spend the next three
months in advanced infantry
training at Camp Lejeune, N. C,
Barring unforeseen develop
ments in the world situation,
zipfel will be able to report to
the Senators near the end of
spring training.

Commissioner Ford Frick has
decreed that if Ruth's hallowed

of games which constituted q

Joe McClain gave three runs

pitchers have allowed only

avoid the basement and also
beat out the Twins with five

Senators also have three games

The Twins scored two runs in
the second inning last night.
Early Battey bounced a ground

The Senators scored a run in
the sixth as Chuck Cottier
dropped a double at Joe Alto

the rambunctious Cincinnati
Reds continue to ride a PEN
nant-bound express train over
a lightning fast rail to their
first National League title in 81
years.
The Reds, a patchwork out

youngsters and a batch of cast
offs, ballooned their lead to five
games over the Dodgers last
night by walloping the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 10-1, for their
seventh victory in the last eight
games.
The triumph, coupled with
Los Angeles second straight

Reds magic number to five. Any

Craft 10 Lead
Houston Into
Big gLeagues

HOUSTON, Sept. 20 (AP).-
Harry Craft, Houston's last
minor league baseball manager,
will lead the city into the
major leagues.
Craft, 46, signed a two-year
contract yesterday as field
manager of the Houston Colts,
a 1862 National League entry.
Terms of the contract were
not announced.
Craft was summoned from
the brain trust" of Chicago
Cubs coaches in mid-Season to
manage Houston Bluffs of the
American Association.
He managed the Kansas City
Athletics from the middle of
1857 until the end of the 1858
season, finishing seventh each
year.
Lifted Bluffs To Fourth
The Bluffs were in fifth place
in the American Association
when Craft arrived July 16
They won 80 of their last 81
games to squeeze into fourth
place and the league playoffs.

liked the way he took advantage
of his material. Frankly, I was
glad when the AS let him CO."
Richards, former manager al
Baltimore, signed as Houston s
general manager September Z
"It was not exactly a spun
of the moment thing" Craft
said after the announcement.
"You might say I expressed
a very strong interest in the
Colts job several weeks ago.
But it came as a pleasant sur
prise this afternoon.
Craft Fills Bill
Richards, after he became
general manager, said he want
ed a man who had been in the
National League this year or
last year. Craft fills that bill.
Craft started his m a jor
league career in 1887 with the
Cincinnati Reds and completed
his playing days in 194S.
The Ellisville, Miss, native
started managing in Class D
in 1949.
"One of the best things we
can do is spend some time with
our youngsters" the new man

II just can't go along with

he said. IF 154 games make
a season, does that mean if we
don't clinch the flag tonight, it
doesn't count?"
A crowd of 1887, ignoring
warning signals sent ahead by
Hurricane Esther, came out to
see whether Maris could break
the Memorial Stadium jinx
which has held him homerless
in six previous games.
Maris, a notorious first-ball
hitter, swung at the first pitch
in six Of the nine times he came
to bat. He was retired four
times and twice he fouled off
the pitch.
II just can't help myself" he
said. Before a game, I tell
myself to wait them out a bit
more but as soon as I see what
I think is a good pitch, I swing
at it. Twice tonight I checked
myself but those other times, I
went for their pitch. Three of
those times I swung at a bad
pitch"
Barber, a 22-year-old south
paw, said he threw Maris all
; fast balls in the first game.
II didn't try to place them,
because I can't do that" he said.
II just threw hard and hoped
the ball was over the plate.
That's the way I've always
pitched to him. No, he didn't
look any different to me. If he
was nervous or tense, / didn't
notice it,"
Bat Wasn't Quick
Hank Foiles, who caught Bar
ber, said Maris looked tired.
His bat wasn't quick" he
said. ''He sort of dragged it. "
Brown, a highlander, said he
threw Maris a little bit of ev-
erything in the second game.
But I got him on change
ups" he said.
Roger, although clearly shows
ing the strain of his tremendous
effort, did not seem discouraged.
Tomorrow is another day."
he said wearily but hopefully.
II had a similar bad night in
a double header in Detroit last
Friday. But I came back with
home runs in each of the next
two games. Tonight wasn't a
total loss. We won one of the
games. The best thing about it,
though, is the fact that we now
have two games less to play" +"
