U. 3- Pat o*-) 0 0 New York, July 3 (UP) Fear less facts and figures: Manager Mel Ott of the New York Giants, who currently has three protest games on file, isn t hesitant about criticizing National League president Ford Frick. "Instead of playing golf all the lime why doesn't Frick come out and watch some ball games. Ott growled as argument raged over last Sunday's protest in which urn pire Beans Reardon over ruled urn pire Jocko (lonian and then finally reversed himself. As a result of a long-time feud bet ween Reardon and Conlan. that umpire combination has been broK en up by the league office., but Ott still isn’t satisfied...

Voyles asserted. 'ln pro ball if you need a player you gu out and buy him—openly.” that "openly" tells mote than volumes ...
