NEW YORQ — American League owners voted Thursday night to give Seattle another baseball franchise “if and when” the league expands in the future, The Associated Press learned. The unanimous vote was tak en at a closed-door meeting on the eve of a joint session of the major league owners here.

FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED never complained — until he saw the umpiring at Huntsville. Kosub blasted the umpires in the NAIA Region IV playoff be tween St. Mary’s and Sam Hous ton State Wednesday. “I’ve never seen umpiring as bad as that in Huntsville,” he said. “Bad calls cost us dearly in the second game. It seems like when we were struggling to stay alive everything went against us. Our boys were called out on bad pitches and their boys were walked on good pitches. . . . The officiating was so bad that the Huntsville radio station announc er even complained about it.” Sam Houston won both games 3-1 and 7-6, to move into the sec ond round of the NAIA playoffs later this month in Phoenix, Ariz. St. Mary’s won the first game here Monday, 6-3. . “I know it sounds like sour grapes — but I’ve never com plained before or fought with the umpires before or been thrown out of a game before. But I sure tried in this one — and they (the officials) didn’t even have enough guts to throw me out of the game,” Kosub said. He said the officials were not hired by Sam Houston State but were selected by the Houston chapter of the Southwest Base ball Officials Association. 200-year-old oak a fairway hazard on British course Goodbye, Organization Man.
