In the boys' game it was Sylva
all the way. Leading at the end
of the first quarter by only 7-5,*
they pushed the halftime score to

the third and fourth quarters and
managed to hold the lead by a
comfortable margin. At the end

Arch's one man show was spectacular
for the Cherokee boys.
The wily Indian forward hit the
bucket consistently from everywhere
on the court as he accounted
foF ail but two of the Cherokee
points.
Jack Cunningham, in holding the
veteran Tommie of Cherokee to
two points and bucketing 21 for
himself, was the spark of the Hurricane.

THE SY
Sporting
Men of 1(
Veeck, Mayer, Boudreau
Get Major Loop Awards
The thirteenth annual selection
of Baseball's No. 1 Men of the
Year has been released *by The
Sporting News. c
Each year ythe^?t. Louis newspaper
selects the outstanding majo**
and minor league executive, managers
and players by means of the
measured judgment of experts located
at various vantage points
throughout the states.
The 1948 selections include:
Major League Executive?Bill
Veeck, president of^the Cleveland
Indians.
Major League Manager?William
Adam Meyer, Pittsburgh Pirates.
Major League Player ? Lou
Boudreau, shortstop-manager of
Cleveland's Indians.
Minor League Executive?Ed"^varcn^^jT?TTO3nj755TTCTcrnTT!TTT?rgJ?r
of Birmingham, Southern Association.
Minor League Manager?Casey
Stengel of Oakland, Pacific Coast
I League.
Minor League Player?Eugene
Richard Woodling, center fielder
of San Francisco, Pacific Coast
League.
Veeck, a 34-year-old son of the
former president of the Chicago
Cubs, literally lifted the Indians
from an ordinary team, drawing
ordinary crowds, to the highest
honors of the season and into the
greatest drawing card in the history
of the game. His imagination,
instuition, flair for the sensational,
instinct for giving the customers
what they wanted, determination
that wa? transmitted to his team
and indefatigable industry paid off
in dividends and championships.
His Indians won the American
league pannant and the World
Series.
Sharing the honors with Veeck
for the success of the Indians on
the field was his manager, Lou
Boudreau. Ordinarily, directing
n team to a world's championship
would have been accomplishment
enough for one man, but Lou, in
addition* twas the premier shortstop
of the year and the second
best batter in the American

- League. Notwithstanding the strain
of managing through the tensest
season in the history of the American
league and the pains of aching
legs, Boudreau stood out on
the field and at bat throughout
the campaign, especially when the
going was toughest. ^
Lou's spectacular play at shortstop
and his timely bat pulled his
team through at crucial moments.
His two home runs in the playoff
game with the Red Sox at Boston
put the Indians in the^. World's
Series and his fighting spicit\ carried
them through to the world's
championship.
Spectacular as was the advance
of the Indians, the ascension of
the Pirates from a tie for seventh
place in 1947 to the fourth rung of
the National League, under, the
first-year direction of Bill Meyer,
amounted to almost a miracle. The
llL U buill of 109 UILJL
the two seasons, but the Pirates
added 136 in moving from .403 to
.539. Pittsburgh stood as high as
second in the National League
race until three weeks before the
close of the season and then fell
eight and one-half games behind
the leader at the finish.
i If* Rill Vf?**rlr wac SAttina a
pace in attendance for the majors,
Eddie Glennon was topping the
minors at the gate in a like manner.
Although Birmingham finished
third in the Southern Association,
Glennon's promotion helped
the Barons set an all-time
league record of 445,926 during
the regular season for a park that
seats only 15,000. In 1946, the last
season before Glennon's arrival
from Wilmington of the InterState
League, the Barons drew
only 157,823.
Casey Stengel, coming back to
the majors in 1949 as manager of
th Yankees,, gave Oakland its first
Pacific Coast League Pennant since
1927 and led the Oaks to their
first playoff title. Probably no
pilot did more with so little than
did Casey. Some 20 players on
his squad were ex-majors leaguers,,
which called for plenty of tact in
handling, since each was an individual
in his own right.

He had only one pitcher, Charles
Gassaway, who could win a? many
as 15 decisions in a 188-game season,
yet he maneuvered the staff
to the championship.
Although sidelined six weeks of
the season ,with a torn ankle ligament
suffered ih late May, Outfielder
Gene Woodling set a terrific
batting pace -with San Francisco
of the Pacific Coast League
after having failed to regain his
prewar form in earlier trials with
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Woodling

to lead the runner-up by 43
points; was first in triples with 13;
lied for forth in total bases, 316,

doubles.
Batting champion of the Ohio
State League, with .398 in 1940, of
the Michigan State, wtih .394 in
in 1943, Woodling hung up his
fourth batting championship in
1948. As a result, Gene will receive
another opportunity in the

TUCK BREAKS LEG
Tuck McConhell, the genial,
worrisome basketball coach of the
Western Carolina Teachers college
Catamounts, is suffering from a
broken leg.
The mishap occurred on Tjjesday,
Dec. 28, while McConnell was
visiting his parente-in-4aw in
Laurinburg, S. C. He fell from the
back porch onto a small glass jar
which threw him sidewise and
snapped both his tibia ^nd fibula i
bones just above the ankle. The
Bbnes were set and put in a cast
Thursday night in Sylva.
McConnell commented about his
coaching plans*-' He stated that
"I may not be able to show my
boys how to dribble, but I sure
split in two bouts with Cerdan.
Belloise* a 30-year-old war veteran
who lost a big payday when
Ray Robin&n was unable to go
through with a Dec. 9 match, is
hoping to get back in the big money
at Villemain's expense.
