The white-haired 75-year-old owner of the pennant-ccntending Washington Senators wired Will Harridge, American League president: "Strongly urge immediate telegraphic vote of major leagues on changing present waiver rule back to old rule where' clubs can only withdraw once on a player." He also intimated that Baseball Commissioner A. B.

"Happy" Chandler might have grounds for action tinder the Commissioner's power to handle anything "detrimental to baseball." Chandler said that he will "findl out the facts" to see if "any subterfuge was involved" for his "personal guidance." His study will not be in the form of an official investigation, however? he told a reporter. A Lousy Rule Chandler disclosed that he talked with Griffith "about another matter" and Griffith mentioned the Borowy case, but "nothing was said about it. being detrimental to baseball."

Under the existing rule, waiven may be asked on a player any number of times, Griffith said, adding that clubowners "don't claim star players because you know you're not going to get them they'll be withdrawn."

His Reds dropped their eleventh game of the season to the Cubs today, 8-3, in a game called by rain when one was out in the last of the eighth inning. Cincinnati has yet to beat Chicago in the current campaign, and today's win, before 12.308 fans, was the third straight of the current series which ends with a double-header tomorrow.

The Cubs jumped on Arnold Car ter for two runs in the first inning as big Paul Derringer, a former Red hurler, handcuffed Cincinnati until the eighth. He eased up in that frame and gave the Reds three runs before he was rescued by Paul Erickson. It was Derrin ger's eleventh win of the year against six losses, and Carter fourth loss. Carter Is Wild Carter put the first two runs on base when, after Stan Hack had walked and Don Johnson forced him at second, he hit both Bill Nicholson and Phil Cavarretta with pitched balls. Andy Pafko's single to center started the scoring, with Johnson and Nicholson crossing the plate.

Dewey Williams scored another Cub run in the fourth when his single was followed by Derringer's and Hack's hits.

of Milwaukee played for the Legion team. Chicago had each won a set in their battle to reach the semi finals when darkness halted the match. Wm. Harridge O.KsDeal Chicago, July 28 (AP) So far as President Will Har ridge of the American League is concerned, the baseball deal that brought Hank Borowy, Yankee pitcher, to the Chicago Cubs was "perfectly in order." Harridge today quietly reviewed the sale of one of the American League's ranking pitchers to a first- place National League team, and said in an interview: "That transaction was perfectly in order. Waivers were asked on Borowy, and there were no takes.

Those waivers expired a week ago Friday (July 20) and the Yankees were perfectly free to deal for the sale of Borowy with any team, un der baseball law, that they so de sired. "It is hard to understand' why other club owners in the league would let a pitcher like Borowy be waived, out of the league, but there were no claims. In fact, I think congratulations are in order for Jim Gallagher (vice-president and general manager of the Cubs) for being on his toes and taking advantage of the opportunity to add Borowy to his pitching staff. 1 Remove Price Control Washington, July 28 (AP) The OPA announced today that all fishing tackle except rods, reels and non-metallic line sand nets will be removed from price control, effective Aug. 2.

Pitches in Big League Tilt But Faces No Batter Chicago. July 23 (AP Horace (Hod) Lisenbee. 44 year old veteran with the Cincinnati Reds, today performed the unusual feat of pitching in a big league game without facing a batter. Rule 17. Sec.

4 provides that a substitute pitcher must continue to pitch until the batsman then at bat either has been put out or has reached base, or the side has been retired. Lisenbee replaced Arnold Carter in the eighth inning of today's game with the Cubs' and then pitched three called balls to Andy Pafko when time and, eventually, the game was called on account of rain. Pafko's tenure at bat thus was nullified and Lisenbee has no other pitching record other than entry into the game. Step Ladders 567810 FT.
