Pension Fund.
llladio-TV Top
Baseball Talk
(AP) - The major leagilfl iliayer pension fund and the miners' radio-television prob- lenis dominated baseball talk Fri- rla.i' as the minor league conven- tion ended and the big leaguers heacied for New York for next weeks meeting.
Most startling news at the an- nual winter gathering was the player-commissioner dispute that threatened the existence of the pension fund. When the player ropreseiitailves walked out on Commissioner Ford Frick because their lawyer couldn't attend, and Frick countered with the news that the majors were considering jUIT)kII'l'g the pension plan, a bitter controversy flared.
Frick, taken ill at the meetings. is back in New York preparing for the meetings where the majors will vote on naming a committee to study the procedure for ending the pension plan.
AIILC Reynolds of New York Yankees and Ralph Kiner of Chl- cago Cubs, the league player rep- resentatives. left with no apparent plans for further meetings with Frlck.
The minor: are optimistic that. the majors will act favorably on their petition for controls of com- mercial radio and television broad- casts into their territory.
Senator Edwin Johnson (D- Colo.) has drawn up a. plan which was adopted unanimously by the minors. It would bar big league commercial radio and TV over a station in E. minor league city when the minor club is playing at home or away but would give complete freedom to any non- commercial sustaining broadcasts.
"They've got to go along with us." said Frank shaughnessy. Dre- sid-ent of the InternationalLeague.

Islanders Back In Third Place With Impressive 9-4 Victory Over Miners
The Charlottetown Islanders led by the red-hot Wliitlock, Salndoi: and Gray line, went on a scoring! rampage in the second and third' periods last night to whip homey eight goals and defeat the Glace Bay Miners 9-4 in a fast, wide-I, open game at the Forum. I
The Whltlock line with Gray leading the parade collected a to- tal of 19 points. Gray blasted home three goals and assisted on five more. Whltlock also got a hat trick and picked up three assists while Saindon scored once and assisted on four. 1
The crowd-pleasing game, played- on hard ice, was watched by ap- proximately 900 fans. Among those present were the kids from the Mount Herbert Orphanage in the guests of the Forum and the Is- lenders.
Goaltender Roger Bessette was a standout in the Islanders victory. He made 35 stops despite the fact that he suffered a cut just: below his left eyebrow around the fifteen minute mark of the second perlod.I
Bessette was struck on the eye' as he made his second stop in a row off attacking Glace Bay for- wards. He was taken to the dress- ing room where club physician Dr. Frank MacMillan closed the gash with four stitches.
Each team scored a goal in the first period but the Islanders soon pulled away in the second frame when they scored two quick goals as the Miners played 9. man short. The goals by Gray and Saindon were only seconds apart. .
The winners counted four times! in the second period and potted another four in the third. The Miners scored once in the middle period and twice in the last.
Resplendet in new red uniforms. the Miners got away to a good start in the first period. Led by big Hughie Campbell they held the Islanders to one goal while scoring one themselves.
They played well throughout the game and outshot the Islanders 39-30. The difference. however, was Bessette as he got in the way of many goal-labelled drives.
The Islanders goaltender also got good protection from it hard- working defense trio of Gus Gus- taveson. Don MacLdughlin and Larry Blackburn. The hitter turn- ed in his best game since returning to the lineup after sitting out for nearly a month with injuries.
Gustaveson and MacI..aughlln both dished out ll. number of thumping body checks with Gus turning over Leyte in the first per- iod and Macbaughlin upsetting Amadio with a. good hip check in the second frame.
The defense and Bessette had to be good at times as the fast skat-I ing Glace Bay forwards swept in on the attack. They blocked and got the puck ahead to the Island forwards who made the most of their breaks.
Bob Gray had his hat trick by the time that the midway mark of the second period was reached. Hey scored the Islanders only goal oft, the first period by knocking home, MacLaugh1ln's rebound. His second: goal was I blazing wing shot andi his third was the coup rle grace as: he skated past the Glace Bay dc-',
'fense and pulled Dion out of the
ct. Whltlock then went to work on his hat trick. He scored his !irst.I on an open net after Gray pulled the goalie out of position. Early in as the Miners played I. man short he added two more. One was a soft 30 foot shot that fooled Dion and the other re- sulted from I. loose puck around the net. 1 Red-headed Kevin Rorhfoi-ii supplied the Minors main scoring punch with a two goal perform- ance. Copper Leyle and Needham accounted for the Miners other goals. Needham. the new defence- man who joined the Miners, from Valleyfield. turned In a fine ganic
for the losers. Both Needhain and Leyte had A goal and an assist.
Orin Carver and Cecil Dowllng rounded out. the scoring for tho Islanderii. Dowllng backhanded n 20 footer past Dion after being set up by Lorne Hennessey In the third period. '
Carver scored the lint goal nf the game on a breakaway. He was IPIH. Into the clear by Bah Gray and fired I shot along the Ice. into the corner.

MONTREAL. (CP) - Mon-treal Caniwllens suffered another blow Friday when it was learned that centre Elmer Loch has a cracked leg bone and defenceman Dollard St. Laurent 1; broken nose.
Lach an injured Nov. 26th in 11 National Hockey League game in Chicago but it was not until Fri-
day that g further examination showed the crack in the fibula of the left leg.
Lach is the third centre man to bt put out of action by injuries. Dickie Moore suffered a shoulder fracture early in the season and rookie Jean Belllveau came out of 8. game in Chicago Oct. 22 with a. cracked fibula. near the ankle.
Lach's injury, similar to that of Beliveau, may keep him out of action until early in January.
St. Laurent an injured on Iiliursday night's game here 3- galnst Toronto when he tangled with Fern Flaman. St. Laureht was out under the eye and across the nose. After the examination doctors said st. Laurent may have to undergo an operation and will be out of the game about a. week.
Meanwhile, centre Paul Munlck of Montreal Royals of the Quebec Hockey League will remain with Canadians, at least for the time being. In St. Laurent's absence the club will go along with four defencemen.
The first internal combuaion en- gine is credited to Samuel Brown of London in 1003.
