Smoke Rings
Friday The 13th
By SAM RAGAN
Ladies and gentlemen, uncross your fingers long
to remind you that this is “jinx day. Good
old Fridav the 13th, it is, and it is only proper that you*be
warned to keep all shenanigans to a minimum on this day.
Black cats may cross and recross your path, you may
walk under all the ladders you like and you may make a 1 ot
The common mistakes that lead to a Jinx, but don t overlook
a Friday the 13th. It’s bad medicine.___
Code Of Ethics
One of the major items that is sup
posed to come up at the meeting oi
Southern Conference coaches in
Charlotte Saturday is e ‘code ol
ethics” in the recruiting of football
talent.
Last year there was some talk ot
the matter and it was generally un
dersea d at that time that some kind
of an agreement was to be drawn
up to be acted on at this year’s ses
sion.
But i hether the matter will be re
newed in the discussions is not
known, as it probably hinges on
whether some coach in the circuit
has been burnt in his dealings with
prospects over the past year or not.
It’., not such a big problem but it's
-one that has caused a lot of -’gu
L .ents about the loop for many ; ears.
It may ha’ c already reached a nat
ural basis that satisfies all.
This And That
It appears now that the New Han
i High school gymnasium will not
be completed before some time next
spring. . . . Yesterday workmen start
ed utting the metal on the roof, but
a shortage of labor is expected t ■
stall the work inside for a go< d
while. . . The Durham High scht -1
cagers started practicing for the com
ing season this week and the coshes
are feeling pretty well satisfied with
the prospects. . .". In a recent vote
Duke football players voted Tennes
see as the best offensive, defensive
and coached team they’d played this
fall. . . . Foxx, of the Vols, was term
ed the best player and Hackney, of
Davidson, and Kimball, of North
Carolina, were voted the two lead
ing most underrated players. . . .
Carolina and N. C. State were the
cleanest-playing teams. ... An to top
off their voting spree the players
voted Walladfe Wade as the best
coach in the U. S. . . . And that re
minds me about the announcement
from Duke yesterday that the school
has not had a contract with Wallace
Wade in years. . . . The grid coach
having the seme rating as professors
on the faculty. . . . He’s a pretty good
teacher at that.

INDIANS OBTAIN
WALKER, BAGBY
Red Sox Get Pytlak, Hale And
Dobson In First Major
Swap In League
CLEVELAND, Dec. 12.—(JV-The
Cleveland Indians tonight an
nounced a three-cornered deal in
tended to bolster their outfield and
pitching staff.
The tribe obtained Outfielder
Gerald Walker, Pitcher Jim Bag
by, Jr., and Catcher Gene DeSau
tel's from the Boston Red Sox in
exchange for Catcher Frankie Pyt
lak, Infielder Odel Hale and Pitch
er Joe Dobson.
The Red Sox traded Outfielder
Roger Cramer to the Washington
Senators for Walker before the
deal could be completed, Indians
officials said.
The deal was completed at Chi
cago today by.C. C, Slapnicka, In
dians’ vice president, and Presi
dent Tom Yawkey and Manager
Joe Cronin for the Red. Sox, re
presentatives of the Cleveland
baseball club reported.
With the acquisition of Walker,
the Indians hope to give the out
field the batting punch it lacked in
Cleveland’s World Series pennant
drive last season.
The 31-year-old Walker, a native
of Gulfport, Miss., averaged 100
runs batted in per season for the
past fi,ve years, accounting for 96
with the Senators last summer. He
previously played with Detroit’s
Tigers and the Chicago White Sox.
“I’m delighted with the deal.”
said Roger Pecknipaugh, recently
appointed manager of the tribe.
“As I see it, we got exactly what
we went after without giving up
anything but Dobson’s prospects.
And don’t forget that Bagby has
some prospects, too.”
Bagby, 24, son of a hero of Cleve
land’s 1920 pennant-winning team,
won 10 games against 16 losses for
Bostrn last year, and can win up
wards of 10 games for the Indians
during the coming season, Peckin
paugh believes. He joined the Red
Sox in 1938.
Dobson, 24-year-old right hander
from Durant, Okla., won only three
and lost seven games last season.
DeSautels, 33. Red Sox first
string catcher since 1937, “will be
every bit as good as Pytlak” as a
second-string catcher for the In
dians, Peckinpaugh declared. The
catcher started with Detroit in
1930.
Both Pytlal^ and Hale have been
popular with Clevel ld fans, but
they knew the fiery little catcher
probably would be offered in trade
for an outfielder. Both players
have been with Cleveland since
1933 and the previous year played
together at Toledo. Both are 31.
Hale, used mainly as a pinch
hitter the past two seasons, batted
.224 last summer. 4
FLOWERS KILLS TWO
DEER WITH ONE SHOT
Joel Moore Also Economizes On
Ammunition, Killing Three
’Coons At Once
SOUTHPORT, Dec. 12— Bruns
wick county is this week present
ing two decidedly screwy, but au
thentic, sport stories, dealing with
hunting.
This week Rossie Flowers of Win
nabow was a member of a party
of deer drivers in the Green
j Swamp, 17 miles from Southport.
A big buck deer came charging out
of the woods and Flowers took a
snapshot at it with his twelve
gauge gun, loaded with buckshot.
The buc ksprang into the air and
dropped dead, so did another big
buck just on the other side of the
one that Flowers shot at. Ih the
excitement of the moment he had
not noticed the second animal, run
ning beside the first.
Joel Moore, Jr., Southport school
boy, also comes forward this week
with a verified story of-an extra
ordinary shooting feat. He was out
after squirrels and noticed a very
unusual looking “nest” in the forks
of a tree. With a view of frighten
ing the tenants out, he fired a shot
at the nest and was astonished
when it disappeared, breaking into
three pieces and three big racoons
coming hurtling to the earth. They
had huddled in a ball to keep warm
and the one shot killed all three.

Jimmy Wilson Is Voted
No. 1 Comeback Of Year
Shaughnessy Ranks Second In
Poll; Series Catcher
Gets 102 Votes
BY OREO ROBERTSON
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—UP)—Out
of necessity 40-year-old Jimmy
Wilson went behind the plate for
the Cincinnati Reds in this fall’s
World Series. He was only a fill-in
for Ernie Lombardi but he did
such a grand job of catching that
today he was voted the year’s No.
1 comeback in the annual Associ
ated Press poll.
Seventy-eight sports editors from
every section of the country gave
Jimmy 102 votes for a courageous
performance that included perfect
handling of the Reds’ hurlers for
the :' ; games, a .353 batting aver
age and the only stolen base of
the series.
Twenty-three of tie writers
placed the new Chicago Cubs man
ager at the top of the list. Twenty
four of them gave the No. 1 berth
to Clark Shaughnessy, Stanford
football coach, but Wilson received
more second and thirds and won
by six points on a 3-2-1 scoring
basis.
There’s no question but that Wil
s-n qualified on all counts under
the heading of “comebacks in in
dividual competition.” But the
same can not be said regarding
Shaughnessy. Stanford’s football
team did come back frcm the cel
lar to the Pacific coast conference
championship but the ability oi
Shaughnessy as a coach never was
questioned even in his leanest
years at the University of Chicago.
Baseball players easily domina
ted the "poll, 13 of them receiving
votes. Detroit’s Schoolboy Rowe,
although a failure in the World
Series, did such a fine job of help
ing the Detroit Tigers win the
American league pennant that he
ranked third with nine firsts and
57 points. Fred Fitzsimmons, vet
eran Brooklyn hurler who won 16
and lost two, polled 23 points.’Dick
Bartell of the Tigers, Lou Finney
of the Red Sox, Tex Carleton oi
the Dodgers and Dizzy Dean of the
Cubs were other ball players that
received five or more points.
Lawson Little’s winning of the
! U. S. open golf title, his first na
tional championship since leaving
the amateur ranks, wr.s considered
such a fine comeback that he was
given three first place votes and
a total of 49 for fourth place. Max
Baer received 23 votes for knock
ing out Tony Galento and Pat Co
miskey and Gene Sarazen 20 for
his good showing in golf competi
tion.
Bill Decorrevont, Northwestern
football star, with 15 and Bartell,
with 14, were the only others that
received more than ten votes.
Oddities, in addition to Shaugh
nessy’s strong showing, were four
votes for Seabiscuit, who came out
of retirement to win the Santa Ani
ta handicap and top all race
horses in money earned and a
first place vote for Joe Di Maggio,
who was runner-up for the out
standing athlete of 1939.
Although this was a poll for in
dividual comebacks, single votes
were given to Rice’s football team
for its improvement in its first
year under Jess Neely and Arkan
sas for beating Mississippi 21-20
after trailing 0-20 with nine min
utes to play. 4
TIGERS SELL FOX
TO BOSTON CLUB
Undisclosed Amount Of Cash
Paid For Outfielder In
Detroit’s First Sale
DETROIT, Dec. 12.—OP)—Ervin
(Pete) Fox, a ball player who gained
a large following in Detroit by con
sistent, workmanlike performance,
was sold today by the Tigers to the
Boston Red Sox for an undisclosed
amount of cash.
The 31-year-old outfielder, native
of Evansville, Ind., had patrolled the
Tiger gardens for eight seasons.
“Pete wasn’t a regular here last'
year and we didn’t figure he would
make the grade in 1941,” said Gener
al Manager Jack Zeller of the Ti
gers. “A change in scenery may
benefit him. Everyone connected
with the Tigers wishes Fox every
success with the fine Boston club.”
Announcemen# of the deal probably
didn’t surprise Fox because for ,long
there has been gessip saying he was
to be involved in this trade or that
one. Barred from trading by the
American league rule against, a pen
nant winner, the Tigers today made
one of. the few, straight cash sales in
the history of the club.
Fox came to the Tigers in the
spring of 1933 after having been de
veloped at Beaumont of the Texas
league by Del Baker, present Detroit
manager. Fox. was a Tiger regular
through 1939, boasting, a seven vear
major league, batting average, of .3(13.
Last season he alternated in right
field with Bruce Campbell and Earl
Averill, two former Cleveland Indi
-He batted ,289 in 93 games. |

FOR THIRD SPOT
White Plains Pro Cards Three
Under-Par 67 To Top Field
In First Round
BY LARRY ROLLINS
MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 12.—Ben
Hogan, of White Plains, N. Y., the
mightiest little man in golf, crack
ed out a three-under-par 67 today
to share the first round lead in
the $10,000 Miami open with hither
to obscure Ben Loving of Spring
field, Mass.
Hogan, front runner in the
stretch battle for the year’s
money-winning honors, took a
three-stroke margin over the num
ber two man, Jimmy Demaret of
Houston, Texas, and had a two
shot leeway over Sam Snead of
Hot Springs, Va., third high.
Twenty-one golfers equalled or
bettered par despite a brisk south
east wind.
Clayton Heafner, the big blond
from Linville, N. C., and the vet
eran Ed Dudley of Augusta, Ga.;
scored 68’s.
Seven professionals, including
Snead, sliced a stroke off par with
69’s. Among these was the days
hard-ludk player, Harold (Jug)
McSpaden of Winchester, Mass.,
who took a penalty stroke after
a long conference following his
round.
Jimmy. Thomson of Chicopee,
Mass., who also carded a 69.
charged that McSpaden’s bail
moved while he was addressing it
on the fourteenth green. The penal
ty gave McSpaden a five on the
par three hole.
Others at the 69 notch were P.
G. A. champion Byron Nelson of
Toledo, Ohio, Jim Turnesa of West
View, N. Y., Claude Harmon of
Orlando, Fla., and Tommy Wright
of Knoxville, Tenn.
Hogan, out with a magnificent
31, was six under par until he
hit the last five holes, which were
very tough in the wind today and
ruined many another fine score.
The 132-pound larruper bogeyed
three out of those five holes to
nullify half of his six birdies.
Loving went over par on just
one hole, the first, the 31-year old
professional, who has been making
the circuit for years but never won
a tournament, was steady from
tee to green with nine hole scores
of 34 and 33. 3

Pitt Is Playing For Fun
And Likes It Much Better
BY JUDSON BAILEY
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 12.—(A»)—
football, which used to be big busi
ness at the University of Pitts
burgh, now is just a game the Pan
thers play for fun.
Everybody is happier, according
to James (Whitey) Hagan, Pitt’s
director of athletics, and the sys
tem is here to stay.
“There is a finer spirit among
the boys,” explained Hagan, “and
we’re very happy about the whole
thing. It has operated about as
we expected. We don’t win as
many ball games, but the boys
have more fun and the alumni are
beginning to swing back to our
point of view.”
It was two years ago that Pitt
de-emphasized the grid game,
causing Dr. John B. (Jock) Su
therland to resign, and last season
was the poorest the Panthers had
had since 1912. They lost four, won
three and tied one.
Yet there was no yelling for the
scalp of Charley Bowser, former
Sutherland assistant who stepped
up to the headman’s post with a
contract that runs through the 1941
season.
Furthermore, the record did not
mean the financial disaster it
would have in the old regime.
“Why the most profitable game
we had this year.” interjected r
iness Manager John Weber Cj'
one we wouldn't even have i'!1
able to schedule under our old
cy.”
This was the season's oner,..
with Ohio State.
This statement is the kev
Pitt’s plans for the future V!
Panthers were so strong j .e
years ago they couldn’t "make'"'
presentable schedule. They IJ
fied and now are looking coveto"'
ly at the Western conference-even
though they won't admit it in
many words.
Asked whether Pitt would like
place in the Big Ten, Hagan sr.
swered:
“Why not?”
Tomorrow night Pitt will have
its annual athletic banquet and the
principal speaker will be May,I
John L. Griffith, commissioner el
the Big Ten, who already exer
cises an advisory supervision
Pitt.
Next year's football schedule in
eludes four Big Ten opponents
Fordham is not scheduled be
yond 1941 and the inference ob
viously iis that the Panthers will
look more and more to the west
as their.sphere, although Pitt wiil
not, and does not want to, resume
its old pinnacle.
