Agreement Reachedon Wolf ner Suit Opportunity for Lead Escapes Milwaukee BY EDWARD PRELL A five-run lead was barely enough for the White Sox last night when the Baltimore Orioles, batting around and scoring four runs in the ninth, were stopped short, 6 to 5, with two runners in scoring position.

Bruce Howard came into the ninth with the handsome edge principally constructed on a four-run outburst in the third against Dave McNally. But New York, Aug. 24 John Roseboro, Los Angeles Dodgers catcher who was hit over the head with a baseball bat by Juan Marichal, said today he has discussed a legal suit against the San Francisco pitching star. "But there is nothing definite," Roseboro said. "I got a message from my lawyer and called him.

We discussed the possibilities of a suit, and decided to wait until I get back to Los Angeles to go over it more thoroly." Roseboro went to a hospital for precautionary X-rays, which proved negative. YANKS WIN ON TRESH HOMER Howard failed against the first two Orioles in the ninth, cast Stottlemyre Hurls CUBS LOSE TO CARDS IN 10th New York, Aug. 24 3 A three run double by Pinch Hitter Johnny Stephenson in the ninth inning tonight lifted the New York Mets to a 4 to 3 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets, trailing 3 to 1 going into the last of the ninth, got a break when Second Baseman Jim Lefebvre fumbled Ron Swoboda's leadoff grounder for an error. Ed Kranepool singled and Joe Christopher beat out a bunt, filling the bases.

Stephenson then batted for Chris Cannizzaro and cleared the bases with a double. ing two wild pitches, which brought a 63d call to the bullpen master, Ed Fisher. This The long legal battle between Walter Wolfner, former managing director of the St. Louis football Cardinals, and Charles and William Bid-will over the estate of Mrs. Violet Bidwill came to an end yesterday.

The Tribune learned last night that an out of court settlement was reached. A suit and an appeal in the case were dismissed. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Mrs. Bidwill died in 1962.

Her will left the bulk of the estate, estimated at 3 million dollars, to her sons. The will also left Wolfner five oil wells in Oklahoma, but he sought a one-third share of the estate. 2 to 1 Victory Minneapolis, Aug. 24 Cf) wasn't Ed's night, tho, and he victory which moved the sec Tom Tresh hit a two-run homer St. Louis Gets Five too needed help.

Perhaps some kind soul will tell him that the ball game eventually went 10 innings and that Ted Abernathy, the fourth Cub pitcher, absorbed the 7 to 6 defeat.

And maybe they'll tell him how the Cubs fought back from five runs behind to knock out Ray Sadecki in the sixth inning and Hal Woodeshick in the ninth, when they scored the tying run. And finally, maybe someone will tell him how the Cardinals won the game in the 10th when Tito Francona topped a roller to third with the bases loaded and Kurt Flood beat Ron San-to's throw to the plate. That's the Story And when they tell him, he'd better believe it, for that's the way it was tonight. Faul went into the game in his usual self-induced trance and staggered out a half-hour later suffering from Cardinal-induced shell shock. The world's champions needed only an inning and a third to send the eccentric hurler reeling back to the dugout, apparently doomed to his fourth defeat.

In that period, the Cardinals made five runs and seven hits, including Lou Brock's three-run homer which signalled the end for Faul.

24 (UPD A general alarm fire raged thru a large stable at Rockingham Park race track tonight, killing at least two thorobred horses. It was the second major blaze at the track in nine days. The blaze erupted shortly after 10 p. m. in a barn at the northern edge of the sprawling park.

Police said at first that several horses had died but they later reported that two and possibly three had been killed. Nineteen thorobreds were killed in a half million dollar fire at Rockingham the night of Aug. 15. The stable that burned tonight was about 200 yards from the scene of the earlier fire.

The event is the final test leading to the richest of all races, the $360,000 Arlington-Washington Futurity on Saturday, Sept. 11, and in the forced absence of the sensational Graustark, recently fired for a shin splint, the chances of some others were increased immeasurably.

He is Evans-ton's John Leo Paddy Driscoll, and to know Paddy is to be wild about him.

This afternoon and evening Paddy will be feted by joined the New York club in a new league, the American. Actually, Red did Halas a favor. George went out and paid $3,500 to bring Paddy Driscoll from the Cardinals to the Bears. He was to know many more fine hours, capping them all in 1956 when he was given the Bears' head coaching post while Halas took a two year "retirement." Paddy has wandered around a bit elsewhere. He coached in Chicago's Catholic league and put in a spell at Marquette university.

And Paddy's old pal and aid, Tarz Taylor, likes to remember the week they prepared to play Boston which was a 27 point favorite. As Tarz tells it, two days before the game he was sent out for marshmallows and similar goodies. Then Driscoll lighted a bonfire on the practice field, assembled the squad, and said: "No practice. Yon can't play football anyhow, so well toast marshmallows." Marquette won. It has been a long time coming, all this recognition for Paddy Driscoll.

He certainly deserves it, and we job in the salute. We've heard only one rap, ever, against Driscoll. Taylor said Paddy burned the marshmallows. break a scoreless tie. The tie existed again when the referee ruled that Paddy's kick was made after the whistle had sounded ending the third quarter.

Chicago went on to win, 7 to 0. The Iowa 9 to 6 and Indiana 13 to 6 games were also close. Paddy scored the tonchdown against Indiana, and scampered 85 yards to set up the Iowa tally. Next year, Paddy was captain. He scored nine of the Purple's 10 points as N.

U. whipped Chicago for the first time in 15 years. His field goal was a 43 yard drop kick. Ohio State dealt Northwestern its only loss of 1916. Paddy kicked a field goal to put Northwestern in the lead before Ohio turned loose Chic Harley.

Ohio won the game for the conference championship, 23 to 3. You are not going to believe this, but the next summer found Paddy playing second base for 12 games for the Chicago Cubs. WHEN AMERICA WENT to war, Paddy went too. The impending call to service, and the necessity of supporting his widowed mother, had prompted Driscoll's fling with the Cubs. Stationed at Great Lakes, Driscoll paced the Bluejackets' famous football team.

The Great Lakes gang defeated the Mare Island marines, Dick Hanley's outfit, 17 to 9, in the 1919 Rose bowl game. Paddy kicked a 30 yard field goal and passed 22 yards to George Halas for a touchdown. Paddy and Halas didn't realize it that day, but they were to hook up again. Pro football was a lusty youngster in those days. A Hammond promoter offered Paddy $50 a game after his naval service had ended.

Paddy wanted $75 and got it after debuting against Pine Village with a field goal and a 63 yard touchdown ran. Chris O'Brien took Driscoll to the Chicago Cardinals in 1920 for a fat $300 per game. So Driscoll was the pride of the Cards late in 1925, when Halas introduced the great Red Grange to the Bear fans attending the annual Bears-Cardinals' Donnybrook. The game was a scoreless tie because Grange couldn't shake loose. Driscoll was the reason.

Paddy punted 23 times and kept the ball so far away from the red head that Grange made only three punt returns. The next year Grange envisioned greater grandeur. He Northwestern university's club, and the Northwestern club of Chicago, at their golf outing in Wflmette. Next month Paddy will traipse to Canton, for ceremonies inducting him into professional football's Hall of Fame. For those who just dropped in, Paddy has excellent credentials for the Hall of Fame: He starred for both the Chicago Cardinals, now in St, Louis, and for the Chicago Bears.

When Red Grange moved from Illinois to the Bears, there was only one other active football player whose name inspired similar awe. He was Paddy 1 Paddy Driscoll come MOON MULLINS 4 Truthogram The bigger the windbag, the 7 how greater the explosion. tm getting the ovo VESX.

On days when Paddy wore his football uniform on the scales, he might weigh as much as 150 pounds. But every pound was dynamite. Walter Camp, who thought everything west of the Hudson was guns, gangsters, and aborigines, called Paddy the greatest quarterback ever. Similar praise was tendered by Walter Eckersall, the University of Chicago's brilliant bantam, when Walter was tending store in the Chicago Tribune sports department. PADDY DRISCOLL arrived on the Northwestern campus in 1914.

His reputation had gone ahead, because he was the rage of the high school gridiron at Evanston. Northwestern wasn't a gridiron great in those days but with Driscoll's inspiration was able to hold some scores close when he broke in as a soph in '15. Paddy was a drop kick specialist and, late in the game against hated Chicago, kicked a field goal to temporarily THE WORLD TO START digging; Hugo L. Bergstrom. Scandal A little praise goes quite a ways And that's the way things are But the juicy scandal is the one That really travels far.
