Rookie Morgan Boosts Yanks' American Lead I ■ . . / , New York, Aug, 7 ■ (UP), —lt looks like some pitching kdvlce f-om a couple of wise "old-timers” has made rookie Tom Morgan the New York Yankees’ “miracles of 1951.’’- • For, following < Instructions to the letter, young Morgan calmly mowed down the Washington Senators, 4 to 0, last night with .a five-hitter — merely his eighth , straight victory and his . third shutout. He’s just what the doctor ordered for the Yankees in their hot pennant battle. And big, big assists go today to those two veteran Yankee coaches, former catcher Bill Dickey and i former pitcher “Milkman Jim’’ Turner. Realizing that the Ashambling, easy-going Morgan could prove exactly the same brilliant surprise that young Ed (Whitey) Ford was last year, Dickey and Turner have, been carefully tutoring the rookie righthdnder in the crafts of. the mound. ' Result: Morgan now stands just one win behind Ford’s phenomenal streak of'nine wins last year that brought the Yanks a pennant. Ford now is in the army. ; Though Morgan was winning he had been showing an inability to finish. .Turner and Dickey diagnosed his trouble as • bearing down too hard in the first three^innings; advised him just before last night's game to use his change-of-pace pitch more often. \ The wisdom was proved as Morgan kept his “stuff” »all the way against the Senators. When he got in a jam with two on and none I - out in the eighth, he and his power in reserve to retire three Straight batters, in the ninth, with one on and one out,, fie got Mickey Vernon on a weak pop and \ then ripped the /ball past ./ Sam Mele for the\ game-gnding strike-out. '• “His body moves slow, but his mind moves fast.” observed manager Case! Stengel. "He /learns awful fast and never) forgets. He’s gonna stay around^/here a long time and tnake a lotta money.". Could be he’ll hqro the Yanks makfe'-a lot of world series' money ; this year. His win last night gave thdm a lead over the idle Cleveland Indians, four over idle Boston Red Sox. ■Ex Yankee Don Johnson started for the Senators and held his old mates scoreless until the fourth inning. But then Yogi Berra walked and rookie Gil McDougald walloped a hoiine ruh. ’ McDougalM also drove in the

Major Leagues Meet Io Name Commissioner BULLETIN M New York, Aug. 7— (UP)— Major league club owners cut the Hat of candidate! for the commissioner's Job to about 12 today but said they don’t expect to elect A. B. Chandler's successor for another month. New York, Aug. 7. —(UP)— Strong last minute sentiment for a baseball man put George Trautman, Ford Frick, and Warren Giles into the forefront as leading candidates today in a "primary election" of major league club owners for a new commissioner. , \ The owners were Scheduled to convene at 9 a.m. in important but hardly historic pieetings which are almost certain io develop' into a process of elimination. ! Del Webb of the New York Yankees, chairman of the four-man screening comlnittee said “I think there is a 50-50 chance that we may be able to decide on a final choice in these meetings.” However, practically none df\ the other club owners believed they could get together on a final choice at, this time, but they intend to ngr : row the field to three or- four candidates for a “runoff election” either after the world series or, at the winter baseball meetings next December. “As chairman of the committee, I’m going to tell the owners that we have screened these fellows for you and here they are,” Webb said. "Now we want to make you fellows part of our committee to go ahead and select the man we want to lead us. I have no choice myself, so it is up to the gang to get together. We’re not pushing any one candidate over any other.”,/' The bloc of owners a candidate outside the official family of baseball has as its leading candidates. James A. \Farley, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Gov. Frank Laustehe of Ohio, chief Justice Fred Vinson, and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. But the trend seemed to be away from the politician type of commissioner, such as A.B. (Happy) Chandler, the former U.S. senator from Kentucky, who was fired as baseball’s big boss when the club owners ganged up on him last winter. Webb; though insisting he has no final choice, said- at the baseball hearings ,in Washington that the sport would not now he in such legal difficulties had a sound baseball maij been directing its destinies.) He placed the blame directly upon Chandler and made it clear he wanted an entirely different of man to succeed him. GilesZ general manager of the Cincinnati Reds and the National League’s representative on the important executive council, also said “I’m leaning away' from a politician for this job.” M I think we need most of all a man with a sound baseball background, a man who knows our problems and knows what to do about them,” Giles said. ‘ Although he has proclaimed often he is, not a candidate, Giles fits those requirements perfectly, as do Frick, president of the National league, and Trautman, commissioner of the vast minor league organization.
