this change in the National but the American is cold to the idea. If it comes down to a decisive vote by the commissioner, the "lights on" innovation will win. Chandler set a precedent by "ordering the last game of the 1949 World Series finished under lights at Ebbets Field. "With major league races producing ties or near-ties in the last few years, the boys are trying to Set up a uniform tie playoff system. The National now makes it best two-of-three and the American has one "sudden death" playoff.

If they agree on one game, it will be over the violent objection of Ford Frick. nresident of the National League. Radio and television policies probably will consume more time than any other proposal, particularly in the National League.

For many long years Kentucky cagers played an has been the chief prep squad game here a few 'weeks attraction in the Pike County ago; Trivette and Phillips will from Baltimore to continue trade negotiations that started at the minor league convention. Nothing big has happened yet. Both the American and National Leagues will meet separately Monday and Tuesday. I business warrants, they'll get together Wednesday for a joint session under Commissioner A.B. Chandler.

No startling business is expected because the minors turned down an amendment to the major-minor code that would have repealed the bonus rule. Still Discussed It is doubtful if the bonus rule will be discussed formally at the meetings but it still is the subject of heated conversation whenever baseball men gather. Under the bonus rule, players who receive more than specified amounts for signing their first contracts, are severely restricted. They can't be farmed out, except in rare cases, and often masquerade as major leaguers when they are in need of much more experience. Defeat of the repeal amendment by the minors did not automatically knock it off the major league calendar.

They may take a vote and request minor reconsideration if it wins. More likely, they'll ask a committee to draft another plan.

Matthews. 20.3 seconds, is held by Jesse Owens of Cleveland. Two record applications were disapproved. They were a 20.2 second time for 200 meters by Lloyd La Beach of Panama, made at Compton, and 30.8 seconds by an Ohio State University team in a 240-yard shuttle hurdle relay at Lafayette, Ind. Relay Record Is Approved Chief among the records approved was the 1:24 time by the University of Southern California's 880-yard relay team May 20 at Compton.

The time bettered the world record and application will be made for it to the International Federation. Other record applications approved included 10.2 seconds for 100 meters by Barney Ewell, of Philadelphia, and La Beach; and the time of 31:05.7 made by Fred Wilt, New York Athletic Club, at the national track meet at Fresno, last June. One of the world's greatest track and field championships the national senior men's outdoor competition has gone begging. But a ray of hope burst through the gloom today. Herman J.

Fischer, president of the Central Association, announced he would try to bring the 1950 renewal of the big event to either Chicago or the adjacent area. The general assemblage of more than 250 adopted a resolution recommending that the United States Olympic Association set up legislation which would permit only one American city to bid. The delegates agreed that wholesale invitations had cost this country the 1952 Olympics, which w-ill be held in Helsinki, Finland, and the 1956 games, already assigned to Melbourne, Australia. If accepted by the Olympic Committee, it will mark one of the most drastic changes in years. Records Are Accepted Track and field committee members of the A.A.U.

recommended recognition, today of 28 new men's records; tabled one application and rejected two others. Approval by the board means acceptance. The committee voted to table the application by Mel Patton of the University of Southern California, for a new record time of 20.2 seconds for 220 yards. Action was withheld due to irregularities in the application's report on the wind velocity when the race was run at Los Angeles last spring.

The goals are equipped with glass bank-boards of the latest type and there is a modern scoreboard and clock. Four additional practice goals can be raised out of, the way during regular contests.

PAUL Kelly-Springfield Tires All Sizes CO. Ed Davis WA 5076 -capital. The popularity of basket-ball had dlined since the early when Pikeville was a respected name in cage circles. i It again is finding its place in the Kentucky basketball sun un-Tder the energetic and purposeful -leadership of lean John Bill CTrivette. The former University "of Kentucky athlete, who coaches -the Panthers, has raised the Pike Countians to the status of a scholastic power.

And thereby hangs the tale of this handsome new which was opened Friday tnight with appropriate ceremo- nies. Old Gym Inadequate When Pikeville showed signs "of emerging from its long basket-ball sleep under the guidance of Trivette, it became quickly apparent that the old 300-seat "fire "trap" was inadequate a situation repeated many times over in Trivette and Thaddeus Scott, ithairman of the school athletic ''committee and a school board member, set in motion a program irfor new court facilities. Support came from past Pikeville superintendent Tom Oliver, who died this year; Dr. S. B.

Casebolt, chairman of the school board, and board members Dr. A. L. Os lorne. Clyde Ctiilders R.

H. Jlobbs and Grant Pike- iVine atnietic director. A bond issue of $96,000 was epproved by the Pikeville voters Jn 1948. A "yes" vote seemed al-'rnost mandatory since the old leym fortuitously burned down shortly before the election. The remander of the cost was apportioned out in school revenue onds which Pikeville superintendent John York estimates will be paid off in 20 years.

Construction of the spacious redbrick building, located on the iite of the old gym. was begun in 48 and finished only October 1. i Named After Oliver The gym, named T. W. Oliver Memorial in honor of the later Superintendent, will seat 3.200 persons the largest in eastern Kentucky and among the largest tugh school owned in the state.

The well-heated building includes locker rooms for both boys and girls and visiting teams, three vocational training rooms, three offices and several men and women's lounges. Entirely fire-proof with plenty of exits, "the gym was designed by Lester Routt of Vincennes, who also made the blueprints for the Owensboro Sports Center ana tne jasper, gym. The Pikeville hall is a replica of the Owensboro hipprodrome on a smaller scale. Routt not only gave the Panthers a beautiful play-hall; he even made an attractive prediction. He told Trivette, "After building the Owensboro Sportscenter, Owensboro won the Kentucky basketball championship.

The same thing happened at Jasper; they won the Indiana title after I built their gym. I'm expecting the same from you." Trivette and Scott got their Idea for the Pikeville gym plan after reading of Jasper's building in the Courier-Journal Sunday inagazine section. They took the School board to Vincennes and the board endorsed the plan.
