COLUMBUS, OHIO The minor league baseball convention for 1953 was shifted Saturday from Milwaukee, to Atlanta, Ga. It will be held Nov. 80 through Dec. 4. The convention was awarded originally to Milwaukee, but since then the Wisconsin city has become the homeiof a major league club.

Minor league rules require the meeting be held in a minor league city. George M. Trautman, president of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues, agreed with the minor loop executive committee to transfer the convention to Atlanta, where it was last held in 1910. Derby Continued from Page One Dancer was smashed into by Money Broker. Jockey Guerin pulled back on the "horse of the year" and eased him up until he could find more racing room.

"We got sloughed," Guerin said later. In the meanwhile, nothing could bump Dark Star. He had a length and a half on Cor respondent at the three quarter mark, and at the mile, Correspondent was writing "30" to his day's work. Now Native Dancer, winner of $341,995 and hailed by many sober-sided experts as a potential track immortal, began running over tired horses. He was a muscular ghost threading through the pack.

He swept past one after another and now in the stretch he was second, a length ahead of the subsiding Correspondent. Native Dancer took dead aim at the flying tail of Dark Star. The great gray, who had been eighth by three lengths at one stage of the contest, was now running all out, with nothing to interfere and something to shoot at Dark YARD by yard Native Dancer moved up on the leader. Dark Star was spending it all. But his heart refused to quit under the thunder approaching him from the rear.

Now the gray horse was even with the leader's ribs, and then perhaps the base of his neck. The little men on the backs of the two surging beasts called and whipped. They made a picture, but everybody knew it was Dark Star. Native Dancer just ran out of ground. 1 mmmmWm lji Louise Suggs, the little Atlanta carded even wo- men's par, 37-3774, Saturday to take the first day's lead jn the third leg of the Weather-vane cross pountry' women's golf tournament.

It was Feller's second defeat against one win. The Boston pitcher is a 28-year-old right-hander whom the Red Sox acquired from Chicago last winter, and this was his first win of the season, against one loss. There were four safe bunts against the Indians and two of them came in the fifth, when the Sox scored their first run.

After Gernert's single, Sam White's bunt went for. a hit, as Feller slipped and fell. Gene Stephens bunted, and this time it was first baseman Bill Glynn who slipped. Gernert scored the run as Tom Umph-lett hit into a double play. The Red Sox' last two runs were scored off Hooper in the ninth on a walk and singles by Milt Boiling, Brown and Jim Piersall.

MO. I'D Norman Hayes, No. 10 among the middleweights, will fight Jesse Turner of St. Louis here May 20, it was announced Saturday. LOWDOWN ON By Charles Johnson AMERICAN league club owners behind the scenes are doing considerable worrying about the St.

Louis Browns. They have every right to do that. The ball club that almost was moved to Baltimore a few months ago Isn't drawing. The weather has been against baseball, but even so the turnouts aren't good enough to indicate that things will be much different than in past years. Actually Marty Marion has developed something more than an also-ran team this year.

It won't set the league afire, but it will do better than the Browns have for years. Bill Veeck hasn't helped his own situation any. Jle has been blasting the town and the fans ever since he failed to move the franchise. He knows he's fighting a losing battle and he isn't keeping it a secret. There are some new possibilities as far as this club is concerned.

A Baltimore syndicate is trying to raise enough money to buy a majority interest in the Browns. If successful, this group would operate it in St. Louis for the rest of the year if all American league owners would agree to a switch to the Maryland metropolis in 1954. Only recently Toronto made a bid for the St. Louis holdings, but was promptly turned down because its park isn't big enough to support a major league club.

However, if attendance gets worse, Veeck can be depended upon to make a decisive move. Whatever he does, it would upset the over-all baseball picture so badly that it would force an immediate reorganization of many leagues. The International league as well as Clark Griffith of Washington are ready to fight invasion of the Baltimore territory. There has been some talk that Kansas City or Dallas interests might make a bid for the Browns, The former, like the Twin Cities, would support a major -league club, but will any one take Veeck in the bargain? Business Bad? TICKET sales for the Rocky Marciano Joe Walcott fight May 15 apparently can't be picking up at all. The ballyhoo artists for the International Boxing club still are trying hard to build up a "feud" angle to this match.

That's one of the oldest tricks this sport has known. For the past 10 days the press agents at both camps have been charging the opposition with many things that would lead fans to think the contestants really are mad at each other. Joe Walcott started it by Insisting that Marciano is a dirty fighter and that his illegal tactics in th first match licked him. The champion now is retaliating by offering to show the films of the Philadelphia scrap to the press this week to prove that he won legitimately. To any one who follows the cauliflower gentry closely this can only mean that the promoters are short of business and are trying everything known to ballyhoo to stir things up.

Only within the past week the 1BC has permitted publication of the seating chart for the Chicago stadium. Its failure to do that before the original date had as much to do with the poor advance sale as the high prices. Giants Could Act WE SIMPLY can't understand the thinking of the New York Giants in stalling around about sending their surplus talent to the Minneapolis farm. True, they are stumbling around themselves as they usually do at the start of every season. However, they have several players who could help the Millers sitting around doing nothing, seldom getting into the lineup in losing games.

One or two pitchers now working batting practice for the National leagues would be bod winners in the American Association. A first baseman like Tookie Gilbert could solve A serious infield problem for Chick Genovese. The word from the New York front office is that they can't get waivers on players they would like to send to their farm club. If that is the case, they eertainly could deal for the men involved and insist that the bid-fling club send some help to Minneapolis. If any major league rivals want anything the Giants have badly enough, they'll see to it that the right concessions are made to close any deal that may be on the fire.

It won't take much to get the Millers out of the losing rut they have been in since this season started.
