Quite without benefit of publicity, the 20th Century Sporting Club is on the verge today of losing its control of Joe Louis for the first time since he hit the headlines 12 years ago. Indications are that unless the present management produces "a satisfactory challenger" for the title date of June 26 the champion will consider himself a free agent, able to dicker elsewhere.

St. I.ouln. 4. STANDING OF TBR TEAMS own 85-74 saw Eddie Gottlieb's team use the same formula but a different starring cast than that which pulled Wednesday's contest out of the fire. HILLHOUSE, DALLMAR STAR Joe Fulks, the leading light of the first game's closing rally, was held to 13 points, only one of which was scored In the final 12 minutes.

Art Hillhouse, towering center from Long Island University, and Howie Dall-mar, playmaker supreme, whose college career began at Stanford and continued at Penn, supplied the spark and the points which fired the Warriors to victory. With the score 75-73 in favor of the Warriors and four minutes left to play, Dallmar, whose 18 points paced the Philadelphians, converted a foul. Hillhouse made two free throws and George Senesky converted one after Tony Jaros had caged a similar toss for the Stags. WARRIORS CLINCH GAME Hillhouse then applied the crusher, dribbling in for a goal and add ing a foul which increased the Warriors' advantage to eight points with one and a half minutes remaining. The Warriors then succeeded In freezing the ball long enough to clinch their second victory in a row against Chicago and their fifth straight playoff triumph.

The Chicagoans, whose floor game was once again superior to the Warriors, broke the league record for shots attempted, a mark they had established Wednesday when they threw 128 hoopward. Their second-game total was 150. At the foul line, also, the Stags were no match for the Warriors. The visitors missed 10 times in 24 attempts while the winners, whose foul shooting throughout the playoffs has been sensational, converted 29 of 36 tries. CLOSE FIRST HALF The first half saw the Warriors and Stags tied nine times.

The Warriors, trailing, 14-17, at the end of the first quarter, fought back to even the score at 23 and go ahead when Fulks dribbled In for a goal and added a foul. The Stags tied the count at 27 and 29, went ahead briefly at 32-29, but the locals rallied to tie at 34 and finally moved out to a 41-33 half-time lead. Chet Carlisle, who led the scoring with 19 points before fouling out with 10 minutes to play, scored the first nine points for the Stags and with Charlie Gilmer and Chuck Hal-bert, 6.09 center of the visitors, kept the Stags hot on the Warriors trail. In the preliminary game, Har Zion, Jewish League Champion, defeated Naulty A. South Phjla.

League titlist, 44-36. VICTORS PULL AWAY It was nip and tuck In the second half, with the Warriors just managing to hold off the visitors until early in the final period when Don Carlson scored twice to tie the score at 67. Ralph Kaplowitz added a foul for the Warriors, but Carlisle put the Stags, ahead 69-68 with a goal from underneath. Here Dallmar connected with a one-hander, Angle Musi added two fouls and a Ion heave and Fulks made a free throw, and despite Stags scoring, the Warriors had a 75-73 lead. Dallmar and Hillhouse then put on their closing drive to win the game.

Thus aid iioya Bevens, a rignt- hander who won four of Ave decisions with the A's last year, get the better of a mound duel with Dick Fowler, a big man whose habitual stoop Is more pronounced than ever tonight. The tall Canadian, cheered out of more than politeness by the 8350 eye-witnesses, was deserving of a better fate than his third defeat In two years against the Yankees. 6 LEFTHANDED HITTERS The New Yorkers opened the eighth on an ominous note. Phil Rlzzuto singled to left, and then came a parade of six left-handed batters. Third-baseman Bobby Brown, a .341 hitter at Newark last 5'ear, laid down a sacrifice bunt, and Tommy Henrich, wrist and blooped the ball into short left for a double that produced a run and tied the score.

Henrich moved to third on a fly by Charley Keller which forced Barney McCosky to make a one-handed running catch, and then sprinted home with the deciding marker as Yogi Berra, the rookie outfielder, grounded to Ferris Fain. Now. had the yearling first-base man been called upon to charge In for a week dribbler, he no doubt would have scooped it up and thrown for the third putout. But this ball, hopping along at fair speed, could not be played that way. tain, a couple of feet inside the line behind the bag, stood in his track, bent over and bobbled the ball.

Then, in a panic, the tyro threw over Fow ler's head. ALL HANDS SAFE All hands were safe, including Henrich with the winning run It was distressing. Until the cichth Fowler had mastered every situation, and there were times when this called for more than a steady riaht arm. More than once the Yanks had him on the run. but he refused to falter.

Fowler started his mound chores by sizzling the ball to the seat of Rizzuto's pants, got himself by the first with two flies and a strikeout, Then, with one out, the Yanks loaded the bases via two singles and a walk in the second; Fowler extricat ed himself from this predicament bv whifflnff Bevers and causing Riz zuto to pop. He retired the Yanks one-two-three in the third, fourth and fifth, passed Keller in the sixth and ran into trouble again in the seventh when George Stirnweiss safety to right, following an Oakley, put men on first and third with one away. MrOUIXN TRAPPED Fowler responded to this situation bv fanning Bevens. and George McQuinn, the A's 1946 first-baseman, got himself caught in a rundown between third and home while trvinsr to pnelneer a double steal with Stirnweiss. So the A's were traveling along right pertly, and with each succeed ing round, the 1-0 leaa iney a erect ed at the outset seemed to grow bigger and bigger.

Shortstop Eddie had led off by lashing Bevens' third pitch of the game over loft fielder, Keller's head for a double and racing home when Brown threw Elmer Valo's bunt into the dirt. Nevertheless, since Joort would have scored any way on Fnin's docp flv to loft, the Mack marker went down as an earned run, and despite th fact that Bevens' deliveries nroved too Duzzlintr for all save Joost Pete Suder and Fowler himself the DViiiortPinhians made only three safeties everything was roseate un til the eighth.

JAYS HIT WELL For the second time in two day the Phillieu. looked like a great club. They hit well, fielded in fashion, ran the bases like the Or- dinals and Dodgers and did not make a tactical mistake. Emil (Dutch) Leonard made hi first start for the Phillies as a National Leaguer and won his initial victory. He was shaky in the first- four innings, probably due to Andy Scminick's difficulty in handling rus knuckle ball and the Giants scored four runs.

In the fifth Seminick was spiked tagging BUI Rigney at the plate Rollie Ilemsley took his place and Leonard was invincible from thtn en. The Giants nicked him for tw runs in the first Inning when AI White beat out a bunt. Risr.ev doubled scoring White and then came home himself on a wild pitch and passed bftll. New York made it 4-0 in the fourth on bases on, balls to Walker Cooper ar.d Bcp Thomson and a double by Ayers. The Phillies then uncorked UieV winning six-run rally in the last hae of the same frame.

It started with. one out when Del Enms and Hen. Northey hit safely. Jim Tabor promptly doubled to left to send Ennis home. With the fans in full hue and cry McCormick singled to left and both Northey and Tabor counted.

Greenberg Belt Helps-Bucs Win Rookie Gets 3 Hits As Dodgers Prevail; Reds Down Cards By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer Hank Greenberg, the belting beauty of numerous American League seasons in the past, is find ing his new National League environs to his liking. The 36-year-old slugger slammed his first National League home run yesterday as the Pittsburgh Pirates trampled the Chicago Cubs, 7-1, to remain unbeaten along with Brook lyn and Philadelphia in the senior circuit. Greenberg, who led the majors In homers last season when he clouted 44 round-trippers for Detroit, ham mered Hank Wyse's first pitch in the second inning into the left field bleachers to start the Bucs on the way to victory. 6 UNEARNED RUNS The Bucs, who downed the Cubs, 1-0 on Greenberg n-sconng double Tuesday, sewed up the game in the seventh inning by scoring six unearned runs after two were out. Preacher Roe went the route for the Pirates, and held the Cubs hit les for first six and two third in nlngs.

At Brooklyn, the Dodgers rounced the Boston Braves, 12-6 as Rookie third sacker Johnny Jorgensen led a 13-hit assault against five Brave hurlers with two doubles and a homer to drive in six runs. Pete Reiser and Bruce Edw'ards also smashed out three hits apiece and Negro infielder Jackie Robinson collected his first safety of his ma jor league career, a bunt single in the fifth frame. 3 HOMERS IN ONE INNING The Cincinnati Reds exploded four homers, three in the third in ning, and went on to crush the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, 9-4. Augie Galan, Ray Lamanno and Clyde Vollmer hit for the circuit in the Reds' five-run third and Frank Baumholtz added the fourth in the next inning.

The first two round- trippers were hit off starter Mur ry Dickson and the last two off Ted Wilks and John Grodzicki. Rookie Kent Peterson shackled the Cards with three hits after re lieving starter Ed Lively with one out in the first inning. In the American League, the Bos ton Red Sox defeated the Washing ton Senators, 4-1, behind the eight-hit pitching of Joe Dobson to gain their second victory. The St. Louis Browns scored a 10 inning 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Rookie outfielder Paul Ili ncr drove a pinch hit with two out to score Walt Jmlnuh with the payoff counter in the extra frame. (Box Scores on Page 33) Approval Sought For Zale, Graziano CHICAGO.

Highlighting his attack with two second-round knockdowns, "Nixon, 146, leggy and long-armed, produced one of his better battles as he took the unanimous decision of Referee Charley Daggert (5-2-1) and Judges Ed McGinn (6-1-1) and Charley Cunningham (5-2-1). I thought Nixon, a Philadelphia, earned six rounds, while two, the fourth and fifth, went to Williams, 141, New York welterweight. NIXON TAKES COMMAND Nixon, who lately shattered a 23-bout winning run for Newark's Charley Williams at the shore, took command with volleys of left hooks and right swings in the first round as 2740 fight fans, who paid $4932 (net, $3592), bore witness. In the second, Nixon employed a right to the jaw, then a left hook for two one-count floorings.

Plucky Williams took a violent head beating not only In the second but also the third. Hayward Wilson, 150, fought as pinch-puncher against Primos Cutler, 151 14, in the semi-final. He dropped hard-swinging Cutler with a right hand for "six" in the third, but was outslugged for the six-round decision in the clash of young Negroes. It was the fifth pro fight for Wilson, nicknamed Trees for his flailing arms. He was twice Diamond Belt welter champion, while Cutler also is a tourney product.

In a stirring heavy clash, Eddie Franklin, 191, knocked out Baby (Kid) Nichols, 195 at 1:24. second round. The left hook that annulled Nichols dislocated his jaw. Tommy Ruth, 16 3', 4, rendered Freddy Lester, 171 14 null and void at 1:17 of the first round in a high-charged hitting duel. Joe Aurlllo, 158.

Also ASPAR drivers would be eligible to pilot present entrants. DOOR SHUT, SAYS HEPBURN' CHICAGO, April 17 (UP). Ralph Hepburn, president of the ASPAR, said today the ruling preventing entry of additional cars would keep members of his association out of the event. "If Shaw meant what he said (about the April 15 Hepburn said, "the cars and drivers I represent will not be there." Hepburn held the entry blanks of 26 drivers past the deadline for mailing entries after he and Shaw failed to reach a satisfactory agreement. The understanding is that his contract, signed personally with Mike Jacobs, expires within 60 days.

Even if It doesn't, legal authorities state that the contract can be voided by the promoter's failure to fulfill a fundamental provision the naming of a June opponent "satisfactory" to Louis. As matters stand, nobody is. Maybe that's the way he and Manager Marshall Miles want it. The contract was signed while Jacobs was running the show; when nobody suspected that Mike soon was to sustain a cerebral hemorrhage and wind up virtually lncommuncado on his North Jersey estate. Naturally, it also was well before the present management, headed by Sol Strauss, revealed a surprising lack of competence in dealing with major issues, as In its failure to keep the middleweight champion, Tony Zale, In line.

Nor has it enhanced its stature by its handling of the heavyweight situation. The thing apparently was allowed to solve itself. When It didn't, Louis got impatient and finally did the picking himself. He named the winner of the Joe Baksi-Bruce Woodcock fight, but Baksi, the knockout winner, indicated he wouldn't look at Louis for twice the money. That left nobody.

It was still nobody today after Strauss conferred by telephone with the Louis people in California, trying to "sell" them Jersey Joe Walcott or Melio Bettina. If it continues to be nobody long enough, the promoters may lack more than a suitable challenger. They may not even have the champion. i-. it was announced late today that Strauss is flying to California to confer with Louis and Miles.

Colonel A. W. Herrington, chairman of the American Automobile Association contest board, said today the boycott against the 1947 Indianapolis Speedway 500-mile race by the American Society of Professional Automobile Racing would not injure the event. Commenting on the refusal of 31 members of ASPAR to enter unless prize money was increased, he said, "there will be a very lntrestlng race. There are plenty of good drivers.

A lot of new cars have shown up unexpectedly. Earlier today, the entry list reached 32, one short of the normal starting field, and the Speedway's president, Wilbur Shaw, virtually promised a larger purse than the S75.C00 paid last year. Shaw also said an "invitational" clause would not be invoked and that the April 15 deadline for entry of cars was final. However, he made it plain that some of the boycotting drivers or owners still could enter the race, as all present entries may change drivers, or specifications of cars, until May 15. This loophole would make it possible for ASPAR members who own 7-1, In points In 6 P' Inl series) lEosioa leads,.
