Farly Wynn, who in three years has never lost to the Athletics, extended his mastery into its fourth; season before 5000 delighted Wash-ingtonians at Griffith Stadium today. With a two-hit performance, he scored his eighth victory over the hapless Mackmen, winning, 5-0. Dick Siebert, with a drive into center Hold, and Irv Hall, with a grounder into left, were the only Philadelphians able to touch the fasa ball deliveries of the righthanded, Wynn. And only one Philadelphia got as far as second base. That hap- pened in the ninth inning vheni Wynn walked both Jo Jo White and Woodie Wheaton, Wynn faced only 31 A's.

WHEATON STARS AFIELD Three glaring fumbles did nothin? to the impression of fielding strength conveyed by ths A's 1-3. 12-inning opening game victory cn Tuesday, but the gem of tha day did belong to the visitors a sensational one-handed catch made by center fielder Wheaton on the dead run jo his left in the eighth inning on George Myatt's scorching fly-Long, lank Russ Christopher was in trouble at the very start, and slipshod support afield did nothing to alleviate his difficulties. Siebert let George Case's grounder roll between, his legs, and that, plus a walk and a hit batsman, loaded the bases with, only one out. Fortunately Joe Kuhel hit into a double play, saving Christopher from immediate damage. Aided and abetted by third baseman George Kell's statuesque fielding of Bobby Ortiz' grounder, Washington filled the bases again in tha third, and in the fourth left fielder Bill Burgo, after shagging Rick Fer-rell's fly, absent-mindedly dropped the bail.

With Job-like patience, Christopher survived all these tribulations, but when the storm broke in the fifth inning errors had nothing to do with it. The Senators, limited to one hl4 up to this point, solved Christopher's side-arm fast ball with di- concerting suddenness. ATHI.FTIC n. my. b.

The National Professional Football League tabled all franchise applications for the duration yesterday at its third annual war-time meeting now in session at the Warwick HoteL Although the league may revive the applications any time, it instructed Commissioner Elmer Lay-den to return $50,000 to two representatives from San Francisco and 125.000 each to representatives from Buffalo and Baltimore. Those to whom franchise money was refunded were Abe Watter, Baltimore Anthony Merabito and Captain Ernie Nevers, TJ.

S. M. San Francisco, and Sam Cordovano, Buffalo. The reison advanced for this action Dy Commissioner Layden was that the league did not know in which direction to expand at this critical period. COACHES.

PLAYERS MAY TALK Earlier in the day the league p.ie;l unanimously all the rules chances proposed by the rules committee. Out-of-bounds kick-offs, the bane of all football last year, were virtually eliminated as the league inflicted a five-yard penalty for both out-of-bounds kicks and those which don't travel 10 yards. Also an experiment which permits sideline coaching. This not uncommon practice of 1943 restricts the coach to an area 10 yards either side cf the bench. Four fifths of the 11 clubs was necessary for passage of these suggestions.

During the course of the day's events. Karry Thayer, general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles, announced that all members of the squad would again be placed in essential war Jobs. Among the 30 players acquired by the Eagles is Joe Kane, ace Univer- sity of Pennsylvania wingback. The Eagles draftees: Steve Van Buren. Louisiana State, back: Leren LaPrade.

Chance for Kids Boat House Sought for School Crews Leaders along Boa Row yesterday Cere discussing a proposal to provide a permanent boathouse for the schoolboy crews, which are now spaced out among the regular clubs. The suggestion involved improvements, reportedly of only $2000 or $3000. in the canoe-boa thouse which has been out of use since the Park: Commission revoked the concessionaire's license following the tragedy 2larch 26 when two canoes went over the dam and three persons were drowned.

The Commission has already ordered the building torn down, but Boathouse row officials are hopeful of securing a change in this order for the purpose of aiding schoolboy rowing. Officials pointed out that a caretaker would be needed only for the three or four months of actual rowing competition.

Things You May Not ILiving tit NOW that there's another spring, and track and baseball, sports writers are wondering whether they'll see again the Eastern scrivener who grew gray in service.

For nearly four decades he has been a familiar figure at major track carnivals and football games. Yet for the past half-dozen or so he has been affiliated with no newspaper. But the old gent never bowed to reality. When his paper dismissed him as superannuated, no longer of eny use. he still kept appearing at big sporting events.

Kindly press agents never could refuse him, and in response to business-like letters for news information and press tickets, have always obliged. Religiously he has always shown up, -lisually hours in advance of the event and often with a box lunch to sustain him. Many times he has even written out a report of the event. Always handing it in to a telegraph operator for transcription to his old newspaper. Such is the milk of human kind that never Mussill who followed.

PHILS FAIL IN PINCH The Dodgers scored four runs in the fourth and thereafter it was easy. The Phils did some fancy hitting against Southpaw Fred Ostermuel-ler, making 13 safeties, but when they had chances to drive in runs they weer impotent. They left 14 on the bases Buster Adams, one of the Blue Jays best sockers so far, left five stranded and even Ted Cieslak failed with two on in the ninth. Ron Northey, who has not hit his stride, went hitless in Ave tries. FREAK DOUBLE HURTS To be fair Schanz was not exactly to blame for the outburst of the Dodgers in the fourth.

lie started his own trouble by walking Augle Oalan and Gil English, but after Mickey Owen had pushed both men along with a sacrifice, Howie Schultz rammed a drive along third that skidded through Cieslak's glove for a two-bagger and a moment later Coaker Triplett and Adams got mixed on Gene Mauch's easy fly and Adams allowed it to bounce off his glove for a double. It was an expensive miscue for Stan Bordagaray drove both in with the single and that was the ball game. BROOKLYN B.sv. Ah. r.

Nearly 100 competed in the affair which also included low gross awards and a driving contest.

Bob Dunn, former Wildwood Easter tournament champion, and Springhaven Country Club's team captain, set the scoring pattern for the field with a bristling one-under par 69 and then to complete his achievement of the afternoon went on to win the driving contest. Dunn, who was a member of the Whites array, negotiated the first nine in 35 and came back in 34. Gene Kunes, another member of the Whites, also reeled oft a sharp round and posted a 72 to trail Dunn for top low gross honors. Kunes, who returned to competition yesterday after being on the sidelines for nearly two years due to illness, retained his old skill and power as he linked together two 36's. The Green squad, too, produced a contender who placed with leaders, Danny Moran who had a 73 to defeat Pat Bonoma, Whites, and pick up a point.

Bonoma shot a 77. Other low scores for the Green were Joe Boehm, Joe Cronin, Jack Kelly, Grifl Boardman, and William Ferguson, Jr. Boehm had a 73, Cronin, 75. Boardman, Ferguson and Kelly, tallied 77's. White Green T.

He caught Reddish coming In with a smashing right to the jaw that had him groggy. He flailed Ol' Willie from balding brow to beltline with right swings, hit him with left hooks and drove him around the ring, only to see crafty Reddish walk out of the storm.
