White Sox Owners Study Resignation CHICAGO (INS) — Frank Lane’s stormy sevqn years *» general manager of the Chicago White Sox may be ended today If the club’s five person board of directory takes action on his letter of resignation. Lane sent the letter Thursday to Mrs. Grace Comiskey, club president, climaxing a monQi-old open feud with Charles (Chuck) Comiskey, the vice president and Mr?. Comiskey’s only son. In the letter, Lane sought a de-, cision on his request “immediately" in order to “terminate any unnecessary additional publicity.” The letter asked that his resignation become effective Oct 15. It did not mention his quarrel with Chuck Comiskey. Mrs. Comiskey was expected to poll the .other directors who are her son, Chuck, her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Comiskey Rigney, and two attorneys, Thomas J. Sheehan and >Roy Egan. Sources close to Mrs. Comiskey believe that she will accept Lane's resignation and release him from a five-year contract at a reported $50,090 a year. Lane has refused to confirm reports that he may become general manager of ..either the St. Louis Cardinals or the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reports also are current that Lane’s job with the White Sox might be offered to James Gallagher, business manager of the Cubs, or Bill Veeck, former big league owner and now a New Mexico ranch owner. Lane's troubles with Chuck Comiskey date back for “four or five years.” according to the general manager. But they broke into the open early this month when Chuck called Lane’s language in blasting American League umpires in the presence of League President Will Harridge “inexcusable.” Lane was fined SSOO by baseball* commissioner Ford Frick for the outburst. Lane charged that Chuck Comiskey lacked "loyalty” in criticising him in the heat of a pennant battle and the breach steadily has widened since then, despite efforts by Mrs. Comiskey to quiet down both men. When Lane was signed by the White Sox in 1948, the team just had completed the most dismal season in its history. It had lost 101 games and finished in the cellar. Lane, who had been president of the American Association before he\was signed by the White Sox, soon was involved in a series of trades which swept the roster clean of aging and mediocre players. The result was immediately eVident in the surge of (he team to the first division, whehe it finished for the past four years. The 59-year-old Lane has minced no words in asserting he is "through" as a White Sox official. He said last week in Kansas City: “If the worst comes to the worst and I am not given my release I can quit baseball and go into the real estate business with my brother in Miami, Fla.”

Driver, Passengers Report Terror Ride Sailor Threatens Driver With Knife SOMERSET, Pa. (INS) — Four passengers and the driver of a Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. but had a terror filled twenty mile ride on .. the Pennsylvania turnpike Thursday when a sailor threatened the driver with a knife. The sailor, 23-year-old Robert Jones, a cook aboard the CSS Wasp, was taken into custody in Somerset after he had ordered the driver to stop at a restaurant there. The driver, 50-year-old. W. E Small, of Hyattsville, Md„ grabbed a fire ax as he was ordered off the bus. He said that Jones surrendered meekly when threatened with the ax. Jones apparently went berserk a few miles outside of Pittsburgh and pulled out a switchblade knife which he held against Small's throat during the ride along the superhighway. Small said that Jones babbled something about a woman saying that he had taken her seat. He also grumbled about the trucks and automobiles being passed by the bus, Small related, saying that if the bus stopped “they would get me.” Small and his four passengers were practically paralyzed with fear and had to be treated for shock. The passengers were: Mrs. Margaret Kunselman. 36, of Cakewood. O.; Charlotte Dumire, 31. of Massillon. O.; Mrs. Eleanor Eber : hart, 35, of Silver Springs, Md„ and Mrs. Laraine Cook/ 27, of Washington. I). C. Jones’ home was listed as Washington. D. C.

Costs To Curtail Pro Football Ty PHILADELPHIA (INS) — National Foodball league commissioner Bert Bell warned that Saturday night coast—to —coast telecasts of pro football are being priced out of existence. Bell said the league’s TV program will be curtailed this year IbeeHuse of "excessive charges” for cables by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. under federal communications commission approved rates. The commissioner said the league’s regional telecasts of some away games back to their home cities would continue, but that other long-distance regional telecasts appeared out because of the price of cables. The NEL's Sunday TV program is not affected, he said. Yankees Have Chance To Win Pennant Today NEW YORK (INS) —Casey Sten gel, the magician turned prophet, sends Don Larsen to the mound today to clinch the sixth American League championship in seven years for the New York Yankees. The Yankees need one victory in their remaining four games in Bos ton, or one Cleveland defeat at Detroit, to go into the World Series against Brooklyn. And if they do it in the first game "of the day night double header today, the Bombers will wind up in the throne room with 95 victories. That in itself is not too significant a detail unless you recall that the "old perfeasor" predicted last April that “ninety five victories should win the pennant this year.’’ Then, too, there's the August prediction of the 65-year-old Bronx manager. ‘'Somewhere near the end of this crazy rat race,” he said, “some club is going to win eight straight. Which one, I don’t know. But whichever it is, that’s the club that’ll win it.” The Yankees are riding on an eight game winning streak in the searing September stretch. If Larsen fails against Tom Brewer in the afternoon contest, Stengel will lead with one of bis big guns, Tommy Bryne. The Indians send their strikeout king, Herb Score, againsb Frank Lary In an almost hop'eies cluse. Elsewhere, it will be Kansas City at Chicago, Baltimore in a twi-nighter at Washington, Brooklyn at Pittsburgh, Philadelphia at New York and Milwaukee at St. Louis. Bath leagues' wete idle Thursday. Stengel found time to talk about the series Thursday and through the doubletalk, these four points emerged: 1. Whitey Ford and Bytne will start the first two games -at the stadium. “They're my two best,’ said Stengel. 2. Bob Grim will be bis main reliever, the Joe Page of 1955. “Grim looks like the best in my bullpen,” Stengel said. 3. Casey is not afraid to start a lefthander in Elbbets Field although southpaws seldom even finish a game there. “I won’t be afraid to Use either Ford or Byrne in Brooklyn," says Stengel, ‘'because good pitchers get out batter no matter where they pitch." 4. Jerry Coleman will be at shortstop when a lefty pitches fqr the Yankees because his arm is stronger than Phil Rizzuto's. The righty Brook batting lineup figures to hit a lot of balls toward the left side. Coleman can make the throw from the “hole" much better than The Scooter. Let me not pray to be sheltered Jrpm. danger but to be fearless in facing it. —Tagore.

Maryland And UCLA In Top Game Saturday NEW YORK (INS) —Earty In the season? Maybe. But the national college football championship could be decided at College Park, Md, Saturday. UCLA, top team in the International Nows Service rankings, takes on Maryland. Winner gets to wear the glass slipper-tor a week, any way. Jim Tatum’s Terps. rated seventh nationally, are puffing hard after last weekend’s rougher than expected 13 to 12 win over Missouri. The Bruins, on the other hand, are riding high in the confidence department following their 21-0 opener breeze with Texas A & M. Tatum, who expects his 1955 team to be one of bis finest elevens, is counting heavily on the quarterback genius of Frank Tamurello and his beefy but fleet AllAmerican candidate center Bob Pellegripi. The Uclans. seven point favorites, will be moving out of a fast breaking single wing against Tatum’s split T offense but Tamurello’s packing and deceptive ball handling c6uld bring the Terps out of their phell. 'Michigan’s Wolverines, the naNo. 2 team, are a 15 point choice over Missouri. The W’olverines are figured tJ top the Big Ten conference during the 1965 campaign, and already are pressing rose petals in their New Year’s day date book.
