firmation of its choice from Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, who favored New York as the baseball capital of America. More Meetinn Slated Additional meetings were, scheduled Friday and Saturday. Friday’s meetings were to find American and National League officials huddling separately. Saturday’s gathering was to be a joint affair after which a general statement summarizing the conclusions will be issued. Frick called the meetings because of growing concern over baseball’s image. “We have discussed baseball’s general picture and its many complex problems,” Frick said, fallowing the daylong sessions. “We cannot come up with any legislation until annual meetings in Houston, Tex.; next month.” Frick currently has his headquarters in New York City. The National League offices are in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the American League, in Boston. The minor leagues operate out of Columbus, Ohio. - Frick’s Successor UPI also learned that the executives discussed the type of man they would like to succeed Frick. “There are several men in this room right now who qualify,” said one executive, who asked not to be identified. Frick moved up to commissioner after he served as president of the National League for a number of years. His two predecessors, Judge Kennesaw Landis and former Kentucky Senator and Governor A. B. (Happy) Chandler, were outsiders when named to the post. But Landis won a reputation as a strong figure needed to give baseball impetus after die 1919 Black Sox scandal. Lakers Win, Grab First, Schaus Mad By United Press International The Los Angeles Lakers today were back in a first place tie with the St. Louis Hawks in the Western Division of the National Basketball Ass6ciation competition but Coach Fred Schaus was unhappy about the way they did it. Schaus was obviously piqued at his team Thursday night following their 106-96 win over the New York Knicks at the Sports Arena. The Lakers blew a 24-point lead with 10 minutes to play when the Knicks outscored them 19-2 in four minutes of the final quarter. “I was happy with the starters,” said Schaus, “they played good but beyond that I saw nothing.” He was referring to his reserves who took over and saw their big lead dwindle under the fiharp shooting of New York rookie Jim (Bad News) Barnes. Barnes scored 15 points in the final quarter and led the Knicks with 21—all in the second half. Lakers’ Jerry West was top scorer for the victors with 31,. exactly his league - leading average.

Beaten in their first two outings, the Wings went through their seventh consecutive game without a loss Thursday night as they defeated the New York Rangers, 3-1, to gain first place in the NHL. Montreal and Toronto, both of whom were deadlocked with Detroit for the lead, played a 2-2 tie and fell one point back into second place. Floyd Smith, Norm Ullman and Bruce MacGregor each blinked the red light against the Rangers to continue the Detroit streak that includes six victories and a tie. Dick Duff gave the Rangers a brief 1-1 tie in the second period with . goal ‘afr 12(54, - but Ullman delivered the tie-break-er 63 seconds later. Montreal scored the first and last goals in its game with Toronto. Henri Richard put the Canadiens ahead in the first period and rookie Ron Ellis knotted it with his sixth goal in 10 games. Defenseman Carl Brewer’s 45footer eluded Montreal goalie Charlie Hodge at 13:51 of the second period for a 2-1 toronto lead, but backliner Jean-Guy Talbot tied it at 17:39 of the stanza for the Candiens.

At a meeting here Thursday, the IHSAA Board of Control heard a “progress report” on the action taken by school officials to remedy the situation which led to the one-year suspension of the Bearcats last January. The suspension prevented Muncie Central from defending its state basketball crown. Principal John P. Huffman and athletic director John Longfellow made the report to the board. IHSAA Commissioner Phil Eskew said they “merely told the board what was done to straighten out the situation, working with parents in the conduct of students, observing of training rules, stricter control of eligibility and code of ethics.” He said the board was “satisfied Muncie is making progress” and said the school was expected to apply for reinstatement “some time in December.” Eskew said the board “will then decide the ease.” He said he expected Muncie to be reinstated as of Jan. 1 “if nothing comes up in the meantime.” The Bearcats are expected to join the second half of the regular basketball campaign right after New Year’s.

Adams Central’s defending sectional champions run into a good Leo team as the two clubs open firing at the Monroe gymnasium.

Coach Vernon Zurcher begins his second season at the helm of the Flying Jets, and has five lettermen back from last season’s team that posted a brilliant 164 mark in regular season play. Included in the group ar* two regulars, Roger Schnepp, 6-3, 168 pound junior center, and Tony Ehrsam, 5-11%, 160 pound seniorior guard. Art Ringger, a 6-2, 174 pound senior, started several games last season, while Steve Smith, 5-5% junior guard and Mike Ross, 5-11 senior, saw enough varsity competition to earn their letters. Not Definite y Zurcher said earlier this week he was not decided on a starting lineup, but a good bet for starters would be Schnepp at center, Ringger and Rex Funk at forwards, and Ehrsam, with either Smith or Ross, at guards. Funk is a 6-1%, 180 pound senior husky who starred at Pleasant Millls two years ago, but did not play varsity ball last season. Leo, like the Jets is blessed with several returning lettermen from last season. They also have a new head coach who isn’t unfamiliar with Adams county basketball.

Still No Clues In Laurel Track Fire LAUREL, Md. (UPI) - State police admitted today they were without suspects or clues in the election night fire that destroyed 34 horses at the Laurel race track and caused an estimated $300,000 in damages. Investigators said they were seeking signs the fire may have been started by an arsonist, but were not discounting the possibility of accidental causes.
