'Brat's' Protest
On Obstruction
CINCINNATI, Ma y 8 (R)
President Warren Giles of the Na
tional League today disallowed a
protest by St. Louis Manager Ed
die Stanky concerning the 7-3 vic
tory by the Dodgers over the
Cards at Brooklyn Wednesday.
Giles said his action followed
a careful study -of the umpires'
verbal and written reports and a
personal conference with Stanky.
The St. Louis manager wa s
ejected from the game in the sixth
inning after vehemently protest
ing a decision by Umpire Jocko
Conlan which ruled obstruction
by Cardinal shortstop Solly He
mus and allowed Jackie Robin
son to score a run. Hemus lay
sprawled on the base path after
making an unsuccessful effort to
snare a liner and Robby, trying to
make third from second base, trip
ped over him.
Giles cited a baseball rule pro
viding for a base runner's unim
peded progress where the fielder
is not in the actual process of,
fielding a ball.

Yankee Wares
SCARSDALE, N.Y., May 8 (iP)

pitcher,' proved himself a ready
salesman of New York Yankee
wares.

monies.
"I'll fix that," said Black. "If
anyone takes this ball for $2OO
I'll get another one inside two
weeks signed by all the Yankees."

Owens Record in 220
AUSTIN, Tex., May 8 (JP)—A

the national interscholastic rec
ord for the 220-yard dash.

the distance in 20.5 seconds in
the preliminaries of the Texas
High school track and field meet

That is two-tenths of a second
