However, It was understood that Faurot endorsed Simpson and this went a long way toward causing the athletic board to make its recommendations to the Board of Curators before today's meeting. The meeting today was held In the offices of Roscoe Anderson, an attorney and member of the Board, at 208 North Broadway, here. Announcement of Simpson's appointment was made by Leslie Cowan, secretary of the Board of Curators, of which Anderson and Mrs. Agnes Haskell of Kansas City and James A. Potter of Jefferson City are also members.

"Mr. Simpson will serve as a fill-in for Faurot." Cowan said.

C. Prison Gridder Freed; Has Pro Football Offer FORT MADISON, IOWA, July. 19. (UP) Don MacGregor, 27, six foot. 185-pound star of the Iowa State Prison football team, walked through the prison gates today carrying an offer to play professional football with the combined Philadelphia Eagles-Pittsburgh Steelers this fall.

He had spent four years and nine months in the penitentiary for car theft and in the words of Warden Percy Lainson "had become a good football player. MacGregor was sentenced in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1938, to a 10-year term, which was shortened by good behavior. Last year he coached the prison Bulldogs to a stale semi-pro championship and kicked a 40-yard field goal that gave them a 3 to 0 win over the Des Moines Comets. McGregor will have a tryout with the Eages later this week, and he hopes to land a backfield position. the Pop Kolas, 8 to 3.

Francis Taylor, starting Kutls hurler, was ejected from the game in the first Inning when he disputed a decision by Umpire Woods. Say It Isn't So! FIRST GAME. BROWNS. AB.H.O.A. AB.H.O.A.

The actions of the Browns today seemed as futile as those of a little boy trying to clear up a tummy-ache by devouring trreen apples. The Brownies lost a miserable double-header to the Cleveland Indians yesterday at Sportsman's Park, with Buck Newsom getting pasted oft the mound, and they're now pointing eastward to mix with the bigger and deadlier New York Yankees. The Browns' second largest crowd this season 19,549 (16,900 paid) filed out of the ball park convinced there was nothing good about the twin bill, unless it was the popcorn and peanuts. Luke Sewell Group dropped the first game, 4-3, and the second. 10-7.

thereby skidding back into fifth place, nine games behind the leaders. Shortly after Johnny Niggeling had lost a soul-twisting six-hitter, mainly because he Issued a three-run homer ball to Jeff Heath, this Newsom, his 200-odd pounds stuffed carelessly into a uniform borrowed from Coach Freddy Hofmann, lumbered out to the mound to inaugurate his return to the American League. It was a dour christening, and a short one. The Indians, apparently forgetting that Buck had notched nine victories for Brooklyn in the National League, plastered him for seven hits and drew four walks, all of which went for seven runs before Newsom retired in the third inning, a dejected and angry figure. All Look Alike To Tribe.

The Tribe continued the assault against Relief Pitchers Nelson Potter, Jack Kramer and Al Hollings-worth. and ended with a total of 16 hits. Corralled by sports writers, Newsom predicted the Browns would finish the season in first place, "if not higher." But through most of the afternoon, he was sullen and evasive, a change brought about, no doubt, by the Leo Durocher Charm School. Buck even tried to bite a photographer, but failed. Niggeling was apparently on the victory road with a 3-0 lead entering the sixth Inning of the opener.

But Oris Hockett singled and Mickey Rocco walked, and then came Heath's four-bagger to tie things up. Classy Base Running. Buddy, Rosar opened the ninth inning with a blooper single to left and slid into second safely when Don Gutteridge dropped a throw from Chet Laabs. Allie Reynolds, running for Rosar, advanced on Lou Boudreau's long foul fly to Milt Byrnes and came home when Mack lied out. Newsom started the second game by walking Hockett, fanning Rocco and walking Cullenbine.

The runners worked a double steal, and on Hayes' bad throw over third, Hockett raced home. Buck escaped in the second, but opening the third, Cullenbine and Heath singled and Keltner doubled, Cullenbine scoring. Boudreau was intentionally passed, after whicn Mack singled, scoring Heath and Keltner. Desautels also singled. sending in Boudreau and Mack, and chasing Newsom from the hill.

Mike Chartak slammed out his ninth home run of the season with Byrnes aboard in the sixth inning. The Browns play stogie games in New York on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, after which they move to Boston for a four-game set. Bums, White Sox To Meet Today At Cooper slown COOPERSTOWN. N. July 19.

As a result of coming out of their tail-spin and winning the first contest of yesterday's twin-bill from Pittsburgh, 7-4 (the only decision of record yesterday), the Cardinals are still 3 games ahead of the second-place Brooklyn Dodgers who also were restricted one victory because of Sunday law. The Cards led the Pirates in the second game, 6-5, after seven full innings when time was called by law. The final two innings of this game will be completed on the Cards next Pittsburgh visit, September 1. Successful Road Trip. So, by winning only one of five decisions 4n Pittsburgh, the champs completed their month-long trip with a record of 16 and 9, a .640 pace which is just a little better than their season's average.

Thrown off stride by sickness, batting slumps and losses of players to military service, and with some others to enter such service, as well as the fact that the Pittsburgh club reached an unexpected peak in batting power, the Cards' pitching staff, shortened to only seven men, took a pummeling, with only Mort Cooper able to toil a complete game against the Bucs. The Cardinals bounced off the floor after four straight knockdowns and seemed like a new team as they bashed out 13 hits in each of the games yesterday, the incomplete afterpiece including Walker Cooper's fourth homer of the year with no one on in the. second Inning. triples by Klein in the third and Sanders in the fourth, (both of which became runs) and Stan Mu-slal's double in the seventh that enabled him to score the run that gave the Birds their edge. But it was in the first game that the Champs broke their Pirate shackles.

In the seventh, five solid singles by Klein, Litwhiler, W. Cooper, Kurowskl and Marlon, netted four runs. That knocked out Hank Gornickl and won the game. Mort Cooper wasn't his usual self, working exceptionally slow in the humid heat as he allowed nine hits, including two doubles. He fanned seven.

He seemed to lose his stuff in the eighth as two walks and a single loaded the bases. Southworth rushed out to the mound for a worry clinic, but "Coop" insisted he was all right He was, too, fanning two men and getting the trird to dribble into a force play. He allowed another run in the ninth, but fanned the tough Vince DiMaggio to end the game. The Cards left St. Louis 2 games in front and return tomorrow, at 5:10 p.

with one additional game added to that margin. That's progress, if you can forget Pittsburgh! Balls And Strikes. Even though the Cards winning pace soured near the end of the month-Ion? trip, it was a financial success. The 34,349 customers who paid to see yesterday's twin-bill in Pittsburgh raised the trip's paid attendance to 259,051 and brought the Birds' road-attendance total for the season to 460,871. The six-game Pittsburgh series drew 74,339 fans.

On this trip, four twin-bills drew 121.074 fans (30,268 average). 46,993 saw three week-day or noli- day double-headers (average 15,664) and 40,775 saw a pair of night contests. Ten single drew 50,219. Coach Clyde (Buzzy) Wares, a quiet sort of fellow, was banished from the Cardinal bench during the second game yesterday by Plate Umpire Jocko Conlan for tipping his hat to the arbiter. Here's how When Pitcher Murry Dickson came to the plate in the fourth inning, Conlan told him "if you don't quit using that quick pitching de livery, I'm going to call ball each time." Inquired Dickson dryly: "Is that why you called three balls on the last batter?" Conlan lost his temper, the Red Birds became bench-jockeys and Conlan couldn't stand the "riding." With Lou Klein at bat.

three of the players let loose a muted boo. Conlan pivoted toward the bench and Wares calmly took the rap by tipping his hat. "You're out," shouted Conlan. "Besides itH cost you $25 and 111 make It stick. Wares majestically walked right across the plate to the club house his first ejection since Bill Klem "tossed" him over 10 years ago.

Commented Manager Billy South-worth to Conlan: "If my boys are too tough on you, IH order them to keep quiet. For an Irishman," he added, "you dont seem to have much of a sense of humor, but an umpire's dignity Is a sacred thing." Welcome Home! FIBtkl GAME. CARDINALS. PITTSBURGH. AB.H.O.E, AB.H.O.A.
