Boston Flag Hopes Dimmed As Brownies Win, 6 To 5
TERRY SHOWERED
IN SIXTH INNING
Vernon Stephens Stars
To Increase Lead
Over Red Sox
BOSTON, Aug. 15—(J)—The St.
Louis Browns, paced by a grand
slam swat by Shortstop Vernon
jt Stephens, defeated the Red Sox
6 to 5 today and maintained their
American League lead of six and
a half games.
The victory also gave the
Brownies an even split in the four
game series with the Sox.
Yank Terry sailed along nicely,
apparently secure with a 5 to 0
lead, until the fifth when the
Brownies scored one run. Gene
Moore singled and, after A1 Zaril
la fouled out, Mark Christman
doubled off the center field wall
to score Moore.
But in the sixth the roof fell in
on Terry. The Browns scored five
runs on four hits and two passes
and one of the hits should have
been an out.
Milt Byrnes, batting for ‘Tex’
Shirley who had relieved Jack
Jakucki, drew a walk on four
straight pitches. Don Gutteridge
bounced the ball into the left field
stands for a ground rule double.
Mike Kreevich popped to Bobby
Doerr but George ivicwuinn urew
a walk.
Stephens drove the first high
into the left field screen for his
14th home run.
Red Barrett replaced Terry to
be greeted by a single by Gene
Moore who scored on Zarilla’s
double to deep center.
The Sox scored in the first in
ning. With two out, Pete Fox
reached base on Stephens’ error
and tallied on Doerr’s double off
the left fence.
In the second inning the home
team scored four runs.

CONTEST, 4 TO 1
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—(IP)— After
losing the first three games of the
series, the Chicago Cubs captured
an abbreviated finale, 4 to 1, from
the Philadelphia Phils today. The

■SPOKANE, WASH., Aug. 15 — UP)
—This may be getting slightly
monotonous, but Byron Nelson, the
roledo, O.; shotmaker, and his bud
iy, Harold McSpaden of
ielphia, ran one-two today in the
36-hole quilifying trials of the 1944
National P. G. A. golf champion
ship.
Nelson, the tournament favorite,
was in the 1st threesome to finish
and he took the Manito course to
pieces with a 69 to win medal
honors with a two-round total of
138, six under par. His score today
was the same as yesterday—36 on
the front nine and 33 on the back
stretch. It gave him a two-stroke
bulge over McSpaden, who had
finished earlier with two 70’s for a
140.
These two, between them, have
cleaned up on most of the tourna
ments this year. McSpaden leads in
total money won and Nelson has
the lower scoring average for the
pear.
There was a playoff for last place
imong the 32 qualifiers for the
match play rounds starting tomor
row and strangely, the two who
lad to fight it out were friendly
rivals from Salt Lake City—John
Geertsen and George Schneiter.
They had tied at 149.
■Schneiter beat his friend on the
second extra hole to .stay in the
tournament. They halved the first
n par 4‘s and the winner picked
off another par 4 on the second,
.jertsen took a 5. He hit his drive
nto the rough and it turned up in
i bad lie. He was out on the
;reen in 3 but missed a ten-foot
outt by inches to lose out.
While Schneiter and Geertsen
vere matching shots for the
:hance to remain in the running,
he somewhat dejected little fellow
n the locker room was Harry Coop
:r of Minneapolis. *
He three-putted himself com
oletly out of the tournament on
he 18th hole of his round today,
rrom about 35 feet, Cooper batted
he ball some six-feet past the pin,
hen missed the putt coming back.
3ad he made the long one he would
lave been in competition for the
120,000 prize money and there
vould have been no playoff. Had
ie dropped the second putt, he
still would have been in the play
off.

Arabella admitted that the
assault was minor.

GRAY TRIES FOR RECORD
MEMPHIS, Aug. 15. — pP) — If
Pete Gray, speedy one - armed
Memphis outfielder, maintains his
current base-stealing pace, he’ll
write a new Southern Association
record into the books this season.
Gray, with 60 bases, is shooting
at the all-time league record of 81,
set by Jimmy Johnston of Birming
ham, in 1912, in 135 games.
ALL-STARS TAKE
SLUGFEST, 13 TO 1
The Shipyard All-Stars met a
nine from the Florence Air Base
last night and won a farce by a
score of 13-1.
The visiting nine was not the
team which was scheduled to play
and did not have a single man
with them who played when the
Air Base appeared here before.
The game became a "joke” in
the first inning when the All-Stars
scored five runs on one hit. In
the second they scored three while
getting but one safety. In the next
frame they added another hit and
two more runs. In the fourth it
was no hits and one run and in
the fifth they netted one hit and
two runs. Only in the sixth did
they go scoreless.
For the visitors the story was
just the opposite. They didn’t get
a hit until the fifth and three

In the seventh the All-Stars de
cided to have a bit of fun. Nitro
Glisson was sent to the mound and
a lad named Heath, who usually
chases balls, took over the catch
er’s duties. Heath went to bat in
the sixth instead of Taylor and
reached first on a fielder’s choice.
Glisson, who followed Cheshire
and Edens on the mound, gave up
one hit and two walks and allowed
the visiting conglomeration to
score it sonly tally.

jj SPOfeTS TRAil]
BY WHITNEY MARTIN
KEW YORK, Aug. 15—(tfl—We
note with interest that Scrappy
Moore, manager of the Chattanoo
ga Lookouts of the Southern asso
ciation, recently attended a foot
ball clinic at Atlanta in prepara
tion for his fall duties as football
coach at the University of Chat
tanooga.
We are just waiting the day when
Mr. Moore, his mind cluttered up
with the strategy of two sports,
orders a pitcher to punt when he
gets in a hole or a left end to take
two and hit to right.
This two-fisted coaching does
have its problems, particularly if
the gent is coaching both sports at
once. When Knute Rockne was
doubling in brass at Notre Dame
by coaching spring football and
track simultaneously he lined up
his runners for a sprint one day,
meanwhile keeping a watchful eye
on the gridders nearby. The track
men were a little confused when
they heard the orders:
“On your marks, get set—hey,
that’s no way to catch a pass!”
Anyway, Mr. Moore’s dual role
brings up the idea there have been
few major league baseball mana
gers who doubled as coaches in
another major sport. In fact, the
only one we can thjnk of offhand
is Hugo Bezdek, who piloted the
Pittsburgh Pirates back in '’17 and
’18 while coaching at Penn State.
Connie Mack took a flyer, at coach
•
ing a pro football team somewhere
around 1902, but it was just a flyer,
that’s all, and doesn’t really count.
There have been umpires who
coached other major sports, or of
ficiated in them. Bill Stewart, Na
tional league arbiter, got in a full
year’s work by officiating in big
time hockey during the winter, and
he also managed the Chicago
Blackhawks to a Stanley cup tri
umph in 1937.
Charley Moran, when he was
coaching the Centre college eleven
to national fame around 1921, was
a major league umpire, and Ernie
Quigley, now athletic director at’
the University of Kansas, we be
lieve was coaching football at St.
Mary’s, Kas., college while he was
umpiring in the National league.
There undoubtedly have been in
numerable instances of major
league players coaching some
school team during the off season,
particularly coaching basketball, as
that sport doesn’t overlap baseball
and there probably have been mi
nor league managers who taught
football on the side.
But there haven’t been manv in
structors who could be classed as
big time in two major sports. Par
ticularly in baseball and football.
The seasons dovetail too much, for
one thing. And for another, i* usu
ally takes a college football man
to coach college football, and there
haven t been many college men
among the baseball manaaMa
down through the years.

LITTLE BEAVER,
STEINBORN MEET
It’s a contest between the Boston
crab hold and the bear hug when
Chief Little Beaver meets Mile
I Steinborn Friday night on Promo
1 er Bert Causey’s mat card at Tha
; lian Hall.
i Beaver, who is a disciple of the
i bone-breaking crab hold will have
i to call out his best tricks againsl
i Steinborn, whose famed bear hug
j has been the undoing of many grap
I piers in the past.
; The crab hold is completed when
one contestant puts his opponent
in a prone position, sits on his
back and applies a painful leg hold
to the unlucky one. The aggress
e rt hengrabbed the other leg, ris
es and puts his entire weight on
his opponent’s back and leg mus
cles.
Steinborn’s favorite hold is Just
as fatal as the crab hold. It con
sists of embracing (not fondly) the
opponent’,* middle and burrowing
the head into the pit of his stomach,
gradually squeezing out the breath.
The "gas house" boys will meet
in the other main event when Irish
| Jack Kelley Tangles with Rough
House Harben. This Match can
rightfully be called a “battle of
bullies", as both are accustomed
to rough tactics.
According to Causey, Kelly re
marked the other day, I am in
there to win any way I can. The
only time I wrestled clean, I got
a cauliflower ear.”

RALEIGH, Aug. 15.—Head Coach
Beattie Feathers and his assis
tants are daily providing two-hour
drill periods during these hot af
ternoons for N. C. State College’s
all-civilian football team compos
ed of 30 under-dralt-age youths and
4-Fs and are exposing the inexperi
| enced players to a thorough groom
ing in the grid techniques of run
ning the famous T-fOrmation com
bined with the Tennessee style
of offense, Rudolph Pate, Stat- col
1 lege news director announced to
day.
Coach Feathers, All - American
back at the University of Tennes
see in 1933 and later a star profes
sional player, is beginning his first
year as head mentor at State Col
lege, and he says that if he can
keep his present squad of 30 boys
intact, the Wolfpack “will proba-bly
make a creditable showing in
( games with nine opponents.”
Assisting Feathers with his pol
| ishing of the State team are two
I new men on the Wolfpack coaching
' staff—Alfred Thomas, line coach
and former Tennessee star, and
Star J. Wood, end coach and ex
, Milligan grid ace. These men con
' fined the first practice sessions to
fundamentals of the game, but they
are now running the various for
mations first presented by the Chi
! cago Bears and later adopted with
| a pre-shift arrangement by Notre
Dame’s “fighting Irish ”
I Coach Feathers, who succeeded
j William “Doc” Newton, who re
■ signed the State coaching berth to
become head mentor at the- Uni
versity of South Carolina, is the
first to introduce the “T” fashion
into North Carolina’s Big Five cir
cuit. Feathers learned the T-for
mation first hand when he played
for the Chicago Bears from 1934-37.
He made the All-Professional rat
ing in 1934 when he was in the
Bear lineup- He later played for the
Brooklyn pro outfit.
State’s head coach was versed
in the Tennessee brand of ball
when he was a star halfback on
the Volunteer squad in 1931, 32 and
33. He had a good deal ol success
with his system of play when he
was head coach at Appalachian in
1942. In that year his team bowled
over all its conference opponents
except Catawba,*
The 1944 version of the Wolfpack
is “willing and eager to learn,’’
beamed Coach Feathers after the
first meetings with his young char
ges. A few of the boys have made
impressive beginnings in the init
ial drills, chimed in Coaches Tho
mas and Wood.
Just what caliber team State will
produce this season will not ac
tually be known, however, until the
schedule is begun, cautioned Fea
thers. The squad will be unveiled on
September 23 when the Wolfpack
will be host to Milligan College’s ]
eleven in a night game in Riddick j
Stadium. \
Feathers is banking heavily on -
diminutive Howard Turner of Roc- I
ky Mount, swift back who chalked j
up a favorable record last season, j

who played last year, decided not |
to attend school this fall. j
