No One Named To Baseball's Hall Os Fame Hr MILTON RICHMAN United Prana InLrra»lto<ial Thr voting for baxcball'e Hall of Fame drew a big blank again today — meaning no one wai elect* rd for the »e<-«nd itralght Umeund Commiaaioner Ford Frick «aya It may be high time to change the ayatem of balloting Preaident Joe Cronin at the American League agreed with Frick that ' aome new procedure should be adopted." although National League Preaident Warren Giles said the latest failure to elect anyone to the shrine at Cooperstown. N.Y., ‘’doesn't necessarily indict the whole system." No One Close Not only wasn't anyone elected this time, but no one even came close despite the fact a record number of 269 members of the Baseball Writer's Assn, of American took part in the balloting. Ed Roush, former Cincinnati outfielder, polled the best among the 129 players receiving voter He got 146 votes, still far short of the necessary 202 minimum needed for election. Sam Rice, one-time Washington and Cleveland outfielder, was runnerup with 143 votes, followed by former Philadelphia and Cincinnati pitcher Eppa Rixey with 142 votes. Unless the rules are changed, the balloting marked Roush's last chance at the Hall of Fame in a vote by the writers although he still may be enshrined by a special old-timers committee. Only' those players active for at least | 10 seasons between 1930 and 1954 were eligible in the latest voting. Roush completed his 17-season National League career in 1931 and the last active player date in the next election with be 1932. Frick "Disappointed'' Under the present system, in which votes are cast every two years, a player must be named on 75 per cent of the ballots. Some feel the system is to stringent, others feel it Keeps out the unde- • serving. "I was disappointed that no one was elected.” Frick declared. “I •jm't to criticize the writers ut’we may have to re-survey the ■ method and come up with something else." The latest voting results were announced in Boston by Secretary Hv Hurwitz of the writers' association. After Rixey, Bu , r ‘ Grimes finished fourth with 92 votes and Jim Bottomley fifth with 89 votes. Rounding out the top 10 were Charley Ruffing, with 86- Urban Faber, with 83, and Hack Wilson.

The Buckeyes have averaged 94.8 points per game in six straight league victories. The record is held by Illinois, which averaged 91.2 points while finishing second in the 1956 campaign. The buckeyes are wasting few shots, statistics s how ed. They have been hitting 50 per cent of the time on all shots from the floor and are well ahead of the season record for accuracy which was set by the 1957 Buckeyes who connected on 43.1 per cent of their tries. Leading the Buckeyes in both scoring and shooting is Jerry Lucas.' ace sophomore center who has scored an average 25.5 points per game despite spending- much time on the bench. Lucas held third rank among Big Ten scorers but his accuracy mark was tops in the conference—69.4 per cent. Terry Dischinger, Purdue's sophomore prize, maintained his superiority among conference scorers with a game average of 30.1 points. Behind him was Michigan State’s Horace Walker, averaging 26.1 points and leading in rebounds with 20.5 per game. The Spartans were the pacesetters in team rebounds, recovering at the rate of 53.4 per game.

By OfiCAR FRALEY United Preia International NEW YORK (UPD — The ear j hummed through the Carolina night and the two men spoke but little. Then the short, dark-fea-tured one sat up straight and his voice was decisive as it broke the* silence. "I " said little Pancho Segura excitedly, "could be the greatest tennis player in the world if the big men couldn’t go right to the net behind their service." "You're huts,” replied Jack Kramer as he steered the car around a curve. "It’s so," stoutly asserted the tiny South American.,, "It's just that I am too small." Three Bounce Rule They lapsed back into silence,; each of them considering Segura s words. But that was the manner, ; on a night In 1951 when they were driving from Tuscaloosa. Ala., to Philadelphia for a pro tennis match, when the idea was borm for the new "three bounce rule which the pro tennis troupe cur- j rently is trying. „ I Under the “three bounce rule I the server cannot wallop his service and charge the net right beIhind it for a killing voley. Theba 11 must bounce in the service court and then be allowed to bounce once on each side of the ne t —two returns — before either Dlayer can go to the net. It has slowed down the serve-and-smash pro game to the point where, finally, the customers can see some tennis. And it only came about even at this be J ated date f cause Pancho Gonzales, the-.five-time pro champion, agreed to the experiment. Fair To Public “I didn’t think, until now, that I should have to give up the service and net game advantage I had developed over the years. Gonzales explaine. “But this probably will be my la,t fecTon the public/ They get to see more strategy and ta f tics stead of the points ending so hasn’t three-bounce rule yet, because it is used only in the pros prehm“’But ba | 4l ® rs £ the three-bounce rule well to their to give the big men their troubles — and put the little fellows back in the game. S<egura obviously knew what he was talking about that night in North Carolina.
