Aware that the al-star game and World Series ery eres supreme problems er: ences were not settled, Warren Giles of the National League and Joe Cronin of the American League answered Frick's call to a summit conference. In effect, the one-second stop is dead, at least yg this season. Officialy, the top brass agreed) to suggest that the pa com- mittee amend the balk rule to eliminate the necessity of stop- ping for "at least one second." The rules committee, headed by Charles Segar, secretary of basebal, does not plan to meet until December and the new in- terpretation wil prevail at least until that time. "The pitcher still must stop," eaid Frick after the meeting with Giles, Cronin afd Segar. "The umpires definitely will continue to call balks if the pitchers don't come to a stop. This will apply to the all-star game and the World Series." FOLLOWED TO LETTER National League umpires had been following the letter of the: ,.. law and insisting on the strict one-second stop. American leag- uers had been advised by Cro- nin merely to enforce a stop. Although Giles advised his um- pires to be more liberal in their interpretation a week ago, Na- tional League umpires have been calling as many as ever. Asked whether he thinks the meeting will reduce the num- ber of balks in his league, Giles said, "not too much until the pitchers learn to stop. There still can be a difference of opin- fon by to what constitutes a "T don't lke to see s0 many 'palks, But I can't tell the um- pires not to call them if they gee them." | Cronin said he does not ex- BEDROOM SUITES Triple dresser, smart modern looking.
