Hearings Open July 28 For Sports Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) — A “restrictive” sports bill pushed by •‘anti-trust zealots” could kill hopes for a third major baseball league, according to Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.). Keating said the same legislation could end chances for the establishment of one and perhaps two new clubs in the New York City area. Keating made his statements almost simultaneously with an anannouncement by Commissioner Ford Frick that he has arranged an Aug. 18 meeting at which William Shea and backers of a proposed third major league will discuss their problems with a newlyformed big league committee on expansion. Keating told the Senate he welcomed hearings on proposed new sports legislation, but he cautioned that the sessions beginning July 28, could provide a forum for “sports baiters.” The hearings will be conducted by an anti-monopoly subcommittee headed by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn). He and Keating have introduced rival sports bills. Keating urged support for his measure, which, he said, repressents a “middle-of-the-road approach.” The measure, similar to one approved by the House at the last Congress, would exempt • most aspects of professional team sports from anti-trust prosecution. Keating said Kefauver’s proposal would push “the long arm of Uncle Sam” into professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey. It would, he said, “completely upset the sound and reasonable free enterprise methods under which these sports have prospered.” The Kefauver bill would give professional team sports a limited exemption from anti-monopoly laws, but would restrict some of their activities. It would, for example, provide that major league baseball clubs which now control as many as 400 athletes in their farm system mold control no more than 80. It also would provide that no college* player need be governed by the annual professional football draft unless he agree to do so in writing. Karl A. Lee Dies After Long Illness Karl A.

Rory Calhoun Wins On Split Decision SYRACUSE. N. Y. (UPI) — Rory Calhoun of White Plains, N. Y.. Who sparred his way through 10 undistinguished rounds with Dick Tiger of Nigeria to earn a split and much disputed decision Friday night, agreed with most ringsiders who called the televised bout a real loser. “I know the fight didn’t make me look good but it takes two to make a bout and I was the only one fighting,” Calhoun said after the boring return match. Tiger, 29, figured, as expected, that he was robbed and his handlers said "never again will we come to Syracuse. The officiating was terrible.” Sportswriters tended to agree with the loser's corner. Six boxing writers gave the verdict to Tiger, middleweight champion of the British Empire. The two drew six weeks ago in New York. But Calhoun, 24, impressed the two judges, Dick Fazio and Harold McGrath, to the extent they gave him the edge. 6-4. Referee Joe Palmer had the knockdown-less and nearly punchless 10 rounds 5-3-2, Tiger. The United Press International score card read the same way. Calhoun claimed that his first go with Tiger had made the Nigerian cautious and unwilling to try to press the fight. But Tiger was courageous enough to get in close repeatedly during the fight to score well with short jabs to both the head and body. Calhoun picked up his points on defensive type body blows which he threw while backing away from Tiger’s jabs. Both fighters weighed 162 pounds, Tiger had entered the ring an 8-5 favorite.

Foreign Aid Battle Now Goes To House WASHINGTON (UPI) — Congress’ annual battle over foreign aid spending shifted to the House today following conference comimittee approval of a $3,556,200,000 i authoritzation measure. I The compromise bill, voted out ilate Friday by House-Senate coniferees, may reach the House floor as early as next Wednesday. The measure appeared certain of passage there and later in the Senate. But the foreign aid fight was far from over. Economy advocates hope to cut the program when Congress considers another bill carrying the actual cash authorized by Friday’s measure. Chairman Otto E. Passman (DLa.) of the House foreign aid appropriations subcommittee noted that in past years Congress has appropriated “several hundred million dollars” less than the ceiling fixed by the authorization bill. “We hope to keep the batting average up this year, too,” Passman said today. “We expect to work the fat out of the bill and give the President what he needs, not what he wants.” President Eisenhower had asked for $3,909,000,000 in military and economic assistance abroad during the next 12 months. If the House and Senate follow the dictates of the conference committee it would mean the maximum possible expenditure would be $352,800,000 less than the President’s request. The President has threatened to recall Congress in special session this fall if the lawmakers don’t approve what he considers an adequate aid bill.

While Sox Beal Yanks, Indians Down Red Sox By WLTON RICHMAN , United Press International Everyone calls them the “hitless wonders” and the first-place White Sox couldn’t care less just so long as someone calls them in time for the World Series. And the way they're going now it looks like they night get that call even though they don't hit hard enough to put a dent in a tub of butter. Held hitless until the ninth inning by 23-year-old Ralph Terry Friday night, the White Sox put together two hits, a walk and a sacrifice for the only runs of the game in a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees. Veteran Early Wynn, who posted his 12th victory, matched Terry’s no-hitter for five innings before the Yankee pitcher beat out an infield hit. Norm Siebern’s ninth-inning single was the only other hit Wynn allowed. Sex One Game Ahead The victory kept the White Sox one game in front of the second place Indians, who out-lasted the Red Sox, 8-7. Baltimore defeated Detroit, 3-2, and Kansas City whipped Washington, 7-4, in other American League games. San Francisco stretched its National League lead to two games with a 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh while Philadelphia beat secondplace Los Angeles, 3-2. St. Lousi topped Milwaukee, 4-3, and Chicago blanked Cincinnati, 1-0. Rocky Colavito hit his 29th homer in Cleveland’s victory over Boston. The Indians built themselves an 8-1 lead and then grimly held on through two three-run rallies. Rocky Bridges’ two-run error with the bases full led the Orioles to their victory and the slumping Tigers to their fifth consecutive defeat. Rally Sinks Senators Dick Williams and Harry Chiti each drove in two runs in a fourrun seventh inning rally that carried the A’s to their victory over Washington. Roy Sievers hit his 12th homer for the Senators, who suffered their first setback in four games. Sad Sam Jones limited the Pirates to seven hits and struck out seven in gaining his 13th victory for the Giants. San Francisco scored its first two runs off loser Ronnie Kline and its last

two off relief ace Elroy Face. Harry Anderson's seventh inning homer broke a 2-2 tie and enabled the Phillies to hand Roger Craig of the Dodgers his first defeat of the season. Craig gave up only four hits and fanned six while Los Angeles collected 10 hits off winner Jim Owens. The Cardinals rallied for two runs in the eighth off Warren Spahn to deal the Braves their fourth straight loss. Ken Boyer’s single, a double by Joe Cunningham and another single by rookie Gene Oliver made up St. Louis’ winning rally. Southpaw Art Ceccarelli pitched the Cubs to their fourth straight victory while shutting out the Reds on six hits. The Cubs reached Bob Purkey for seven hits and scored the only run of the game in the fifth cn two singles, a walk and an infield out. HARTKE Continued from page one get and worries about inflation.” Hartke said. “But he waited until the strike was actually in progress before he made a move to prevent it.” He indicated that the president should have appointed a fact finding board before the strike took place and should have made better use of media toin facilities available to him. Hartke also charged that management “was not sincere” in its negotiations with the steelworkers union. Hartke also said: Butler Good Friend —He and Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler are “good friends” and any misunderstanding between the two is “just a divergence of opinion.”. He said he “disagreed” with Butler’s criticism of Democratic congressional leaders and felt it was his duty to defend his fellow lawmakers because “I happen to believe Congress is doing a good job.” —The President made a mistake in vetoing the wheat support bill and the “best possibility for the farmer now is to vote ‘yes’ on the July 23rd referendum.” —Congress may hold the longest session in history, but it will not adjourn until it has passed a moderate civil rights bill and a unoin reform measure. —The current crisis in Cuba shows that Castro’s revolution didn’t cure the country’s ills.
