Major Leagues Open Separate Sessions Today NEW YORK (UP)— Talk about at least three major player deals said to be near completion overshadowed the actual business on the schedule today when the major leagues opened separate meetings. , ‘ New General Manager Frank Lane of the Cleveland Indians, President Horace Stoneham of the San Francisco Giants, and Roy Harney, general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, shaped up as the key men in the deals that were boiling on the front of baseball’s hot stove. Lane was dickering with both the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers with Indians’ fast bailer Ray Narleski as his chief bait. Stoneham reported he was very near announcement of a trade but was holding off until he found out if he could get better terms from a third team. Phillies Want First Baseman Harney was reported anxious to land a first baseman and the Cincinnati Redlegs, with three on their roster, were seen as the most likely source. Gab about these and other possible swaps was making some of the baseball men present almost forget about the items on the agenda for the separate meetings of the American and National Leagues this morning and their joint meeting later in the day. On the actual agenda, proposals about territory and bonuses were expected to get the most attention. „ Role Limits Invasion Regarding territory, a special four-man committee of the majors has drawn up a new rule for future franchises and adoption is expected. It would limit the location of two major league teams in one city to cities with a population of 2 million or more and in these cases would bar teams in a two-team city from having parks within five miles of each other. The upshot of this rule would be to leave the Brooklyn-Queens area of New York City open for another big-league team, a pdint in favor of the National League, while at the same time leaving the way open for the American League to put a team in Los Angeles. Unless the New York Yankees agreed, however, the rule would kill the Polo Grounds (less than a mile from Yankee Stadium) as the site of a future NL team in New York. The majors killed the bonus rule at their last conclave; now they must decide whether this ac tion should be retroactive, that is. whether “bonus” players now ir the majors should lose that desig nation and become eligible for demotion to the minors.

This is very reassuring. “We’re happy we did se£ the boys, even though they (the Reds did reject our pleas.” When he was asked whetheany of the four plan to return tr Red China for another visit Downey said “I can't say now . It’ll be a little while before w< consider it” BACHELOR (Contlpued from page one) State’s Atty. Marvin Talbott filed preliminary information against Huber in Justice Court at Winner Friday night. Preliminary hearing was set by Justice of , the Peace Phil Hall for Wednes- , day. Although Huber was housed in Tripp Countyjail here for the time being, sheriffs in nearby ■ communities were alerted that > Huber might be taken to the one . of their jails, a precaution against t the possibility an inflamed mob . might try to take justice into its . own hands. Winner, with a population of > about 3,000, is in isolated ranch . country, 30 miles north of the . Nebraska state line.

Venturi, Demaret Lead Thunderbird PALM SPRINGS, Calif (UP>It takes all kinds of people to make a world — and the same holds true for the golf tour. For instance; Ken venturi. Is a 26-yer-old athlete dedicated to the game, who loves to practice and spends hours every day on the practice tee. Jolly Jimmy Demaret is 45, a grandpa who never goes near the practice tee and who seldom even plays a game these days. So Venturi and Demaret, two of the finest tee-shot performers in the business, are tied for the lead as the $15,000 Thunderbird Invitation golf tournament goes into the third round today. Venturi, a San Franciscan in his first year as a pro, had a torrid eight-under-par 63 Friday to come up with a 133 total for 36 holes. Demaret, defending champion and three-time winner of this tourney, has played exactly one round of golf in two months. He fired a very fine 65« Friday for the same total. The two have a two-stroke lead over the field with first-round leader Dave Marr, Rumson, N.J., and up-and-coming Paul Harney. Worcester, Mass., each with a 135 score. ‘■l've been sick and besides that I haven’t had time to practice,*' said Demaret, who now is interested in a housing development. But Venturi, who has his eyes set on golfing greatness that will resemble his mentor and idol, Byron Nelson, is the man who proves that “practice makes perfect” "He's headed toward greatness,” says Nelson. And the pros agree. Events Scheduled For Youth Center The schedule of events at the Decatur Youth and Community Center was announced today by Richard Linn, director.
