Baltimore Orioles Return To American League After 50 Years Absence 60-Minute Man Is Back In The SX IMPORTANT SEC College Football I Picture Now TILTS SET SATU RDAY Syndicate Buys Bill Veeck’s Interest In St. Louis Operation BEN PHLEGAR BNEW YORK #—The Baltimore Orioles today set up in business as @ @ajor league ciub for the first (ime in % years, pouring thousands @f dollars in fresh money into the American League's weakest fran chine fe 62 ewift minutes last evening @ syndicate of wealthy Baltimore Andustrialists headed by Clarence W. Miles bought control of the im ished St. Louis Browns for 5,000, agreed to pay outstand fing debts of about $400,000 and an Bounced they would spend “all the Money we can” to transform the seventh-place team into a winner Miles’ essociates, who include brewery, munitions and airplane executives, obtained control of the Browns from Bili Veeck at the end @ three days wiangling in the most convincing fashion—by pro @ucing cold casn when other in terested parties were having trou ble getting up the ante. Between Sunday night, when the American League turned them down, and last evening the Balti moreans increased their immediate bid by more than 1's million dol lars Money made the difference. A! though Baltimore alone among the seven cities under consideration of fered a suitable major league ball park and a concrete proposal when the civie delegations were received by the American League on Sun day, only four clubs voted in favor of the move on the first ballot A three-hour league session Mon day brought a proposal by Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees, to negutiste for Veeck’s stock on behalf of unnamed West Coast interests. Miles’ group im- mediately announced plans to match the bid. Originally they had been dickering for only half of Veeck's stock. Yesterday Webb ruefully report ed failure and acknowledged that the Baltimore deal was the best available. He made the motion to approve it He did win one concession for the West—a change in the league con stitution providing for a 10-team circuit at a time when it would be feasible to include such Pacific Coast cities Les Angeles and San Francisco, The Baltimore syndicate, admit tedly feeling its way as far ac tual baseball operations go, side stepped neatly most of the queries on immediate plans “We have just gotten a ball club,” Miles said. “It looked Sun day as if we were licked. The change came suddenly. We've got @ lot to learn. “We will spend all the money we can to improve the team. Jack Dunn, president of the Baltimore team from the International League, will be ascociated with ws.” Dunn has been mentioned as a likely prospect for the post of gen @ral manager Veeck apparently emerged from his St. Louis venture ahead finan cially. Backed by « group of Chi ago investment bankers, he paid about $1,800,000 for his Browns stock. He estimated his losses dur ing 2% seasors atgupwards of $750,000. Yet he sold Sportsmans’ Park for $800,000 to the St. Lewis Cardinals received almost 2% million for the franchise and a reported $300,000 from the Cardinols for leaving town. This last figure, never con firmed nor denied by the Cards was disclosed yesterday in St by the Post Dispatch Veeck, jokingly referring to his profit as “ill-gotten loot,” said he made “very little’ money on the deal, He declined to specify exact amounts. Neither did he indicate any plans. Series Lineups es Lineups NEW YORK #—Probable start fng lineups for today's World Series opener between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dod ers at Yankee Stadium.

He also instructed them not to blast the umpires after the games for what they considered adverse de cisions. # coming back to wship are, so far as We can make exactly even if you can believe what has hap pened in the past 20 World Series. If that’s a fair enough sample, then it doesn't matter at all whether a club wins or loses the first game Beginning with the 1933 playoff in which Carl Hubbell starred in the New York Gients’ 41 series victory over Washington, 10 teams which were @estined to emerge as proud champions got their ears beaten off in the opener. The same number won the first one. If you wish to go back through the eight series before that tne ratio remains Precisely the but you get the idea. It just doesn't make any difference. We have no idea why this should be so A year ago, lacking a day, Joe Black came out of the Brooklyn bullpen to hammer the Yankees and Allie Reynolds, 42, and set off a great rej < in Flatbush. If a relief pitcher could start and beat the mighty world champions then the rest of t should be breeze. But when they got around » .

To refresh the memory further the playoff before that saw the Giants win the opener at Yankee Stadium behind jittle Dave Koslo it also saw them take a 2-1 game lead, same as the Dodgers last year, only to get their mumps then from Reynolds, Ed Lopat and Vic Raschi in painful succession. If our bifocals are not doing tricks, no club has lost the first two games and still wound up with the championship since the seven- game playoff was adopted in 1922 The nearest thing to it seems to have been Pittsburgh's rally to de feat Washington in the '25 classic after having trailed 1-3.
