The Hall of Fame would do well to listen to Mr. Spink, because not only is lie as good a friend as baseball will ever have but no man lias ever performed greater services for the game. Both the Veterans' Committee and the present system of voting for the players of the modern era have been criticized from time to time for omissions that appear to he regrettable. Here in Pittsburgh we have the case of Wilbur Cooper, certainly one of the great pitchers of his day. The support for Cooper has been amazingly meagre, lust as it has been for others who should be remembered in the Hall at Cooperstown.

If Mr. Spink can stir up some action he will have done baseball another favor.

Mickey Mantle Pirates Face Further Drop In Standings Cardinals Open Series With Bucs, Eye Fifth Place Special to The Press ST.

LOUIS. Aug. 4 The Pirates, who made contenders; of the Braves, Dodgers and Giants during the last 10 days.1 now face their biggest battle of the season as they open' week's engagement with the! Cardinals and the Cubs. i The Cards and Reds are eyeing the fifth spot occupied; by the Bucs while the Cubs' are desperately trying to cling to fourth place. A continuation of the slump that has cost the Pirates 12 defeats in their last 13 games and 10 setbacks in 11 starts on this trip could drop them into seventh place before they return home.

The Cards, hosts to the Bucs for three night games. are playing much improved; ball and feel the Pirates have' gone beyond all recall and are' doomed to the lower depths of the second division. Three weeks ago, Pirates had five batters either: above .300 or close to the' charmed circle; now theyi have none. Both catchers are' battling slumps with Smoky! Burgess now 110 and Danny! Kraviu one hit in his last 22 times at bat. Dick Stuart, who was to provide the home run and It I', I punch, also is lagging.

He hasn't hit a homer since July 18 and only two in five weeks. In the 10 games he's played on this journey into no-man's land, Stuart has driven in only three runs. Bob Skinner is showing signs of life at bat with seven hits in his most recent five games but he still isn't driving in runs. lie's knocked in only four runs in 30 games. But the biggest shocker of all is the slump that now has taken hold of Roy Face.

This is the key that may keep the Pirates in their nose-dive because if Face is tillable to protect a lead, the Bucs are doomed. None of I he other relievers are capable of doing the job. Face has given up more runs in his last nine innings minei than he did in his first. 59 innings when he piled up a phenomenal 14-0 record with nine saves. The only bright spot has! been the consistently good pitching of Vern Law, who starts against Rookie Bob Gibson tonight.

His 1 17 record shows the big righthander has been shut out three times, lost two one-run games and in his last 10 starts has allowed only ID runs but has won one, lost three.

Aug. 4 The Steelers have returned Fullback Howie Ferguson to the Green Bay Packers, nulli lying a conditional deal which would have given the Packers a draft choice had the Steelers kept the 215-pound veteran. Coach Buddy Parker arrived at his decision yesterday, after reviewing the work of the Steeler fullbacks in Saturday's scrimmage. Ferguson, who was acquired in a trade last week, was one of five fullbacks in training here.

The Steelers also have C. K. Roberts, Bo Dickinson, Larry Krutko and Yeteran Leo Liter. In addition, Jim (Jetstream) Smith, currently working as halfback, is a potential fullback candidate as well. Under the conditions of the trade, Parker had three weeks in which to look at Ferguson and decide whether he wanted to add him to the Steeler roster.

His sudden decision to return the 28-year old veteran without a prolonged view was taken to mean that the Steeler coach is satisfied with the personnel In camp. He has frequently cited the play of Roberts and Krutko. The arrival of Defensive End Billy Ray Smith, who worked in both drills yester-j day, completes the Steeler! roster. The only absentee is!
