WNBf WLftbuo GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT That devious dynasty which is organized baseball has more unwritten laws than those stric tures which are subscribed on pages of parchment; the warp and woof of its garment Is as Joseph's coat of many colors.

Consider if you will that Immaculate deception that there was no bar against Negro ball players as it rolled trippingly from the tongue of ole Jedge Landis, the patriarch who plas tered a penalty of 29 million dollars on Standard OIL (By the way, was it ever paid, Solon?) Another such oral statute has been Invoked, me thinks, in the case of the Philadelphia business men who had the cash in escrow to buy the Athletics last week when "the transaction was not approved" by the club owners of the American League. It was disguised in a diluent, the state ment that "the Yankees owners are against the club remaining in Philadelphia" masking, the bitter truth. Forecast of the thing to come was a remark credited to an unnamed, authoritative source "these men are more interested in selling groceries than in promoting baseball." And so the stage was set for the execution and it came off on schedule. Baseball sustained a black eye in New York last Thursday just as boxing was hit below the belt in our fair city, the week before.

wRw YANCEY, PHILLIES' SCOUT A happier picture of the past week was the signing of Billy Yancey as a scout by the Phillies and the admission of general manager Roy Harney that he was trying to make a deal with the Brooklyn Dodgers to obtain second baseman Junior Gilliam. Credit for the union of Billy and the Phils must go to the Courier alone which pioneered Jhe fight for racial integration in baseball. When Roy came here last summer we renewed our acquaintance and he invited me to talk with him if there was anything I wanted. In due time I told him: "Yank," who had proved his worth with the Boston Milwaukee Braves was the It took a heap of doing. I do not know what persuasive talk Bob Carpenter used with general manager Quinn, of the Braves, to get permission for Hamey to confer with Yancey, but It worked.

As for Billy, well, I sent him to Panama as coach for the basketball and baseball teams 'way back in 1937, and he has never let me down. Curiously enough, another applicant for that job with the Republic of Panama was a gent who Is now the new general manager of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Paul Richards. I wonder if Paul remembers those days? wRw BROWNS' BOOKIE GOOD The best looking rookie I have seen in action in ti National Football League this season is Langston's Maurice Basse tt who has already made secure his position as successor to Marlon Motley In the Cleveland Browns' backfleld. I have seen him In actior In person and on TV and he is quite a lad. At this writing the 230 pounder has piled up 183 yards In 33 attempts for 55 yards per try.

And of equal importance is his ability to supply the necessary protection for Otto Graham in getting off his passes. He is a carbon copy of Motley! With Bassett picking up experience and momentum each week he would surpass by far the figures posted by the Browns' top ground gainers of the past three seasons. In the college ranks there Is right: Mr. and Mrs. Eugene and Dr.

and Mrs. R. Still man the honorees. Diilard Wins Easy NEW ORLEANS Dillards Blue Devils bounced back to smack down the sassy Tougaloo Bullodgs, 43 13, here last Satur day as they played their last home game of the season be fore a small turnout.

Tougaioo's scores were made by Tackle Charles Robinson, who fell on a Diilard fumble be hind the Blue Devils goal, and End Eugene Gaston on a 52 yard pass play started by frosh Quarterback William Marshall. BIGGEST M4 the BEST First Half Wins for EC ELIZABETH CITY, N. Completely dominating the play in the first half, Elizabeth City College scored four touchdowns In the first two periods and then held on to defeat Fayetteville, 26 7, here Saturday. Richard Branch started the scoring for the winners in the opening period when he capped a 56 yard drive by going over from the 4.

The story was worse for Fay etteville In the second period. In that stanza, Richard Branch, freshman halfback, scored twice. One was on a 49 yard dash and the other was when he grabbed a 37 yard aenai irom quarterback Cleveland Godfrey. Ephiram Green, end, completed the winners scoring in the same period when he grabbed a pass from Godfrey on the nine and scored. Fayetteville scored its lone touchdown in the third period when fullback Johnny Noble went over from the one.

another character who Is going to set a record for his school; he is Lenny Moore, the "Read ing Rambler" of Penn State. On the eve of the Penn game. last Saturday, he had gained 574 yards in five games, only 27 behind his nine game season last year. Only Syracuse held him under 100, limiting him to 87. He is the team's high gun with six touchdowns.

He has caught three passes good for 37 yards and one touchdown; has intercepted two others and returned them 21 yards; has returned five kickoffs 159 yards; five punts, 92 yards.
