PITTSBURGH. Aug. 19 -—- (AP) —-Tlle American Baseball Guilt’. gets its first officzal showdown t0- morrow in a proceeding unprece- dented ln baseball history-a co’.- lective bargaining election among Pittsbur h Pirates.

The eectlon was ordered bv the Penn slvarJ-r Labor Relations Board— something the National Labor Relations Board refused 1-.- do-ort the petition of Guild or- ganizer Robert Murphy of Bos- ton, who claims a majority of the Pirate players Wftnt the Gulld for their bargaining agent.

A simple nlajority of tnc votes cast will decide whether the Gulld will become the players’ voice in all salary and other contract mat-

rs. Charles M. Chrlstler, regional director of the Board, commented: “If or-‘y a few "ole and the ma]- ority choose the Gulld. it will be certified within u week as the players‘ bargaining agent. Th-sts the law and 11's customary that such certification stand for a year." some Pirate gl-ryers claimed Gulld sentiment has cooled in the team since two abortive strike threats in June and the recent sale of the club. If the Gulld rucceeds nere, organizational drive be stepped up among other major league players.
