Kiner hit his third and fourth home runs and one of the clouts came with the bases full.

Bahr, making his first start, limited ot big league baseball teams. "If these conditions last long, they may play heck with the baseball schedules," an Office of Defense Transportation official said.

Pee Wee Reese drove a long fly with none out and the bases loaded in the second overtime frame to score Pete Reiser with the deciding run.

Reiser had tripled to open the inning. A fist fight between the Cubs' Len Merullo and the Dodgers' Dixie Walker, who won yesterday's 13-inning contest with a double preceded the game. The flare up which soon included other players from both clubs -apparently was a carry over from-the tussle yesterday between Merullo and Ed Stanky of the Dodgers. by bus.

Left to right are: Georgette Zinsser, Eahr'a impressive form mav poned five, days, big league teams have earned him a lob as recular completed plans in the interim for making their next trips. The Pittsburgh Pirates chartered starting pitcher.

Previously, he appeared only in relief roles. The A Horse Gets a Name Burgoo King, winner of the 1932 Kentucky Derby, died the other day, and meaning no pun, thereby hangs a tale. Burgoo King was the only Derby winner who was Bamed after the uncle of an employe of the Post-Gazette. It's not a stop press notice, even so, let's close in on this one gradually. Burgoo is a tasty concoction familiar to some Southern get-togethers as ham and cabbage in Dublin.

It is made of ox joints, a part of the tail; a delicious squirrel or two; potatoes, onions, cabbages, the whole producing a gravy that would defy Emily Post, herself, to refuse to dip her bread crust in. Attending one of these southern east3 one day Colonel Brad-lev, owner of four Kentucky Derby winners, was so overcome by boauet, the taste, and the satisfaction coming from his dish of burgoo that he refused to leave the premises until he had met the chef who had prepared it. "I shall," said, the renowned colonel, "name a horse after you a horse I think which may some day win the Derby," for, sir, there is no doubt about it you are the king of aU burgoo men. That's it I shall name this horse Burgoo King, in your honor." The name of the distinguished gentleman who had evoked mch a warm appreciation from the Colonel Bradley was Mr. Looney, who was an uncle of Jim Looney, of the Post-Gazette advertising department.

Curiously, the name of the dish fitted in with Colonel Brad-leys well-known penchant for giving his horses names that start with B. Other Bradley names were Blue Larkspur, Bimelech, By Jimminy, Big Pebble and Boot to Boot. Burgoo's King sire was Bubbling Over. He had a filly who came to be known as Burgoo Maid. And it is nice to consider that even had Mr.

Looney's uncle been merely a bologna king or a bortsch specialist he still would have got under the wire In Colonel Bradley's book. So the little story about Burgoo king shows that while many have been named by chefs to flatter royalty, Mr. Looney's uncle is one of the few whom thoroughbred royalty selected for a special citation. The reminder here does not come from Nephew Looney, but from John MacFarlaue, another ink-stained wretch, who has a whole trunkful of these tidbits stored away in his leonine noggin which he dispenses with Falstaffian authority and detail if in the mood to grant an Interview to those of us who perforce must dig around for newsy trifles from here and there. Baseball Contracts Clauses in the contracts between baseball owners and players to which the players sometimes object, and which a union organizer would likely bring into scrutiny follow: "This contract may be terminated at any time by the club or by any assignee upon 10 days' written notice to the player.

"On or before February 15 of the year next following the last playing season covered by this contract, by written notice to the player at his address following his signature hereto the club or any assignee hereof may renew this contract for the term ot that year, except that the salary shall be such as the parties may then agree upon, or in default of agreement the player will accept such salary rate as the club may fix, or else will not play baseball otherwise than for the club or for an assignee hereof. "The club's right of reservation of the player and of renewal of this contract as aforesaid, and the promise of the player not to play otherwise than with the club, or any assignee hereof, have been taken into consideration in determining the salary specified herein and the undertaking by the club to pay said salary is the consideration for both said reservation, renewal option and promise, and the player's service. On top of this, a clause which requires "the player will faithfully serve the club or any other club to which in conformity with the agreement above recited, this contract may be assigned," is sometimes criticized by the players. 4 Ironically, the points now made by the players were first brought up by the owners at a time they were fighting each other, notabiy in the organizing of the American and later the Federal League. The biggest test of all came when the Baltimore Federal League attacked Organized Baseball as a monopoly in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law and that the reserve clause In players' contracts were violative of their rights.

Baltimore won the first round, was beaten on an appeal, and then the United States Supreme Court was called on for the final round. The supreme court hit a home run for the owners in a decision by the late Oliver Wendell Holmes. He said it was not a trust within the meaning of the law; that baseball was not trade or commerce; that clubs are state affairs and that traveling from one state to another does not constitute commerce between the states; and that the contracts do not make the players chattels. rookie nervousness was a factor two buses to make the 275-mile Beazle)r Goes trip from Philadelphia to Pitts in his being kept in the bullpen, he had plenty of everything but burgh.

Phil Cava-rretta of Chicago jumped in and landed a few blows to Walker's body before a squad of police arrived and separated the players. National League President Ford C. Frick lost no time in punishing the offenders.
