By Eddie Ash

WRITING IN the New York World-Telegram, Dan Daniel, veteran baseball expert and an authority on what's going on in the big show, discusses the rumor that hit the majors about six weeks ago linking Bill Terry, the Giants’

manager, with the Boston Bees. The Bees are for sale, at a reported price of $275,000, and the story is that Terry has been considering the organization of a syndicate to make the purchase and install himself as president and general manager. At the price, the Boston club unquestionably is a splendid buy. . . . With a little capital and a lot of initiative, it might be rebuilt into a money-maker. . . . While Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox insists climatic conditions preclude the success of night baseball in the Hub, it is quite possible that a sports loving public which has taken to dog racing under the lights would go for seven arc ball games. . . , Bob Quinn of the Bees admits this possibility, but is not financially able to put in the Mazdas. It is conceivable that Terry sees the tremendous financial potentialities in Boston and would like to become a boss rather than a taker of orders It mav be that Terrv's antagonistic attitude toward night ball, the failure of arc games at the Polo Grounds, have combined to bit of coolness between Bill and Horace Stoneham, Giants’

Contract Good for Two More Years HOWEVER, Terry's contract as manager of the Giants has two more seasons to run, and it is doubtful if he could get his release. . . . His friends say he doubts it, too Back in April, a bulletin from Judge Kenesaw M. Landis’ office carried a line saying that Terry had sighed with the New York club for 1940.

Th been taken to mean that Bill's contract expires in October, and that the Stoneham announcement of a five-season agreement in 1938 was not on the level Investigation developed the fact that Terry has a five-year civil contract, calling for $42,500 a season, through 1942. , . . If the club wanted to get rid of the manager it would have to pay him off for the next

® ” SAID a man who is fairlv close to Terry, “Stoneham may be miffed over Terry's magazine article attacking night ball just when the Giants were spending $125,000 for lights “Stoneham may be sour over the current comparison between the Giants and the Dodgers—though the difference in paid attendance at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field is not what you have been led to believe “But in Stoneham's book, Terry still leads as a manager, and Horace never would let Bill go. In fact, Stoneham recently started a campaign to popularize Terry.

Reported Eager to Serve in Throne Room “TERRY conceivably dislikes being the field manager. For a long time he has been eager to get into the business office. Considering it that angle, there may be something in that Boston yarn “There is a storv that Terry has asked George McLaughlin, presiof the Brooklyn Trust Co., which controls the Dodgers, to put him in touch with Boston bankers who might be interested in a syndicate to buy the Bees ‘If the club were bought, T doubt very of his own money into the venture.”

JOHN CARMICHAEL of the Chicago Daily News thought 'it would be an interesting picture for his paper if two or three White Sox were equipped with firemen helmets and the nozzle of a hose as “rode” Ted Williams, Boston's highstrung, but hard-hitting outfielder, who is ruing the day he ever made the statement that he was ired of baseball and “wanted to be a fireman.” When a Red Sox-White Sox game was about to start last ‘week, the necessary equipment had been smuggled into the Chicago dugout. : The photographer was nearby waiting. . . . But Carmichael never figured on the breaks which followed. as the game was to get under way, a big fire broke out in a lumber yard a mile back of Comiskey Park. . .. So just as the White Sox awaited Williams’ turn at bat with their helmets ready, the sirens of dozens of pieces of apparatus went shrieking past the ball park. It was with high glee that the White Sox donned their makeup when Williams came to bat, and as the ‘photographer snapped the picture, the other White Sox 'velled at Manager Joe Cronin to tie a rope onto Williams so he wouldn't chase the fire apparatus.

Matchmaker Llovd Carter said today that because so many patrons had requested a return affair between the two stars, he is making the change and Jim McMillen, originally carded to face Bruns, has agreed to remain off the card and return at a later date. There ‘was considerable confusion in last Tuesday's meeting between Roche and Bruns which the latter won on a disqualification. To begin with, Bobby took the first fall. In their battle for the second fall, Dorve tumbled his opponent outside of the ring and upon the ground, while he fell on the apron of the ring. According to the interpretation of the rules, Roche had to get back into the ring within 10 seconds, but took 14 seconds to make it, while Bruns had 20 seconds to get back and made it in 18, thereby gaining the fall and the tussle.
