SAM BREADON, who for years permitted Branch Rickey to make most of the decisions involving the Cardinals and their far-flung minor league holdings, appears to be taking a more active part in the direction of the business, and probably is gaining confidence in his own judgment. Billy Southworth, who has done an excellent job with the Red-birds since succeeding Francis Raymond Blades, was Sam's personal choice, one of the few field leaders selected by the club president without any conferences at all with Rickey. Only a few days before the firing of Blades and the hiring of Southworth, Rickey pooh-poohed rumors of an impending change. And many persons not connected remotely with the Cardinals knew about the managerial change before Rickey was informed about it. For many years Breadon was so busy with other interests, chiefly automotive, that virtually all important decisions about the baseball property were left to Rickey.

Perhaps the first big move that Sam insisted on making was the trade of Rogers Hornsby to the Giants after the 1926 season. That took a lot of courage, but Sam had it. A Rickey or A Breadon Man. MOST Ca been OST Cardinal managers have lesignated by observers as an appointee of Rickey or Breadon. Frankie Frisch, for instance, was made manager of the Cardinals in the mid-season of 1933, against Rickey's advice.

While Rickey didn't oppose Frisch as a candidate, he didn't approve of Breadon's action in making the change, a hard-boiled move, when he made it. Rickey wanted to permit the Old Sergeant, Charles Evard Street, play out the 1933 string. Throughout his managerial term, Frisch was considered a Breadon man, and there never was any close relationship between Rickey and Frisch. A notable Rickey triumph was his success in persuading Breadon to do to Frisch what Breadon had done to Street, fire him during the season. Breadon always was a great admirer of the Fordham Flash and even after he had been persuaded that a change ought to be made, Sam felt badly about it.

He hated to see Frank go. That was a complete Rickey triumph. He not only ousted the manager he didn't want, but the new manager, Blades, long had been a Rickey boy. Ray grew up under the Rickey influence, and it was expected that harmony such as had never existed before would prevail in the front office relations with the field. More Authority for Manager Is Likely.

HAVING picked Southworth as manager, Breadon probably will gibe him more au- thority than most managers of the Redbirds have had, now that jg ijli fLs i Tit if TO OPEUTHE WIMOOW, WHAT HAD A GlBA- PA. FLK Hutson? out of position the way Hutson and Tinsley do it simply isn't teachable. Any college end can be improved in this department, but the truly great fakers are born that way. Like broken field running, it is an inherited ability. Tinsley, a 200-pound specimen standing over six feet, made the All-America team at Louisiana State in 1935-36.

He played in two Sugar Bowl games against Santa Clara and Texas Christian. L. S. U. lost both by close scores but Tins-ley has an explanation for the Santa Clara defeat.

"We played Tulane after those boys had been beaten over 20 points by Alabama. The school authorities told us if we'd beat Tulane by a bigger score than Alabama, we'd get the Rose Bowl invitation. That made it pretty tough on Tulane. for we beat them 35-0. Then we didn't get the Rose Bowl bid.

It went to Pitt, a beaten team. Well, we didn't get over the disappointment and didn't care much about the Sugar Bowl battle. But they made us play it. We lost." Besides his collegiate honors, Tinsley made the All-Frofession-al end position in 1938, sharing wing honors with Hutson. Although he will have only two days' practice, Tinsley will see several minutes' service in our league opener against Pittsburgh Sunday.

While he'll be under a handicap, because of lack of practice, we'll see if one man can't cover him. SOFTBALL LAST NIGHT'S RESULTS. CITY TOURNAMENT. SOUTH SIDE PARK Missouri Pacific 2. Natural Set-ups 0 (girls); A.

In the past the manager has had little to say about player trades. Oh yes, they have been consulted, but the consultations have been largely informative.

That is, the manager was asked what he thought about such and such a trade and that constituted information for him that the trade would be or had been made. Southworth has definite ideas about his ball club and indications are that he will be permitted to carry them out, instead of having to carry on with the players that Rickey decides should make up the squad. Observers report that South-worth and Breadon are closer than manager and president of the Cardinals have ever been before. They hold frequent conferences. And Breadon seems to enjoy his closer touch with the ball club.

You'll probably find him making more and more important decisions. LAST NIGHT'S FIGHTS By the Assnolated Press. fiAKKIKI.I). N. J.

NEW YORK, Sept.

6 Conn and Bob Pastor, a couple of fancy Dans of the boxing rinp, fight it out over the 15-round route in Madison Square Garden tonight to decide a future opponent for Joe Ixuis, but when last heard from Joe wasn't worrying too much about it. The best that can be said about the chances of the Pittsburgh pretty boy or the ex-collegian from Manhattan, if tossed in there with the bomber, is that tonight's fight should tie a pood match to see. For, while neither constitutes any immediate threat to the crown resting on Louis' head, they are two of the classiest boxing men among the big fellows since Tommy Loughran turned in his gloves. ITcdicts Gate. The fight, postponed from mid-August because of a light shower and lighter ticket sale, has caught with the cash customers the last few days.

Promoter Mike Jacobs is confident nov he'll have $50,000 and about 15,000 of the faithful in the house when they start swinging at 8 p. m. (St. Louis time). On its original August date, the bout would have been lucky to draw $35,000.

No one seems to know why, but the betting odds not only have remained in Conn's favor, but actually have gone up a point or two in the last 24 hours. Around the sidewalk betting commissioners' stands Forty-ninth street, you could get as high as 5 to 9 or 1 to 2 that the Pittsburgher does that thing to Hobby, despite the fact Pastor went 20 rounds with Louis in two starts before the roof fell in on him in the eleventh round in Detroit last fall. Conn I'nder 180 Founds. Conn is reported in his best condition in a year, although the rosy hopes that he would hit the 180-mark in poundage for his first "big league" start among the heavyweights have been wiped out. He weighed 174 pounds to Pastor.

As for a Louis match for winner, the postponement in for the the original date knocked right out the window the plans for a September show of this extravaganza. There is talk Promoter Mike may try to run it off as a late-fall attraction in California, or New York, but the tip on this is that you shouldn't believe all you hear. Dister Brothers to Open Alleys Tonight A special doubles match between Chris Sottrel and Johnny Ott, Nelson Burton and Mitzi Weinstein will feature the opening of the new Dister Brothers Recreation, 4114 Natural Bridge boulevard, tonight.

I AW A GUV HiHl A AWMfKT ACO-A1USTA BiiH TUAT GAILCPIH'CHOST HAH0 S0 MUCH ABOUT The only real superman 1 ever saw was Don Hutson. You can't cover him and that goes for any team In the country. He might have a bad day himself or maybe his passer might be off his game. When this happens, Green Bay meets defeat. But day in and day out, Hutson can't he covered.

They say they hope it's true, but I won't believe the same thing about Tinsley. I hope it's true, hut I won't believe it until I see it. They Share Record For Completed Passes. TOGETHER with Hutson, Tins-ley holds the professional league record for completed forward passes. Both caught 41 in one season.

Considering the type of opposition and pass coverage, that's some mark. Tinsley also holds the league record for the longest completed pass and run, 98 yards. Hutson's completions have resulted in more touchdowns because of the ex-Alabama player's speed. Tinsley fakes more effectively, but has only normal speed. About his ability to fake a defensive man, Tinsley has no doubts.

"Now, you know that one man can't cover you when you fake right," he drawled. "But I'll tell you this. You can't teach that stuff. I worked hours trying to make my boys do that last fall, but honest, I don't believe I did them one bit of good." Well, faking a defensive man so good he bought into it himself. The investments are not so good now.

The times are bad and so are his receipts, in some cases. He dropped a big sum when he had to sell his Hotel Barbara of Los Angeles at a loss. And he may be near the bottom of the sock, for ready cash. But it's good to know that between Jack and Brer Wolf at the front door is that $400,000 annuity. A.

7TH GR. 0990. GR. 0991mm riH LIMP if Mm Two Ends Share Record in Pro League for Completed Passes, Both Hard to Block. By Jimmy Conzelman Coach of the Professional Chicago Cardinals.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6. WE WERE at the airport a half hour before plane time because you don't have a Gay-nell Tinsley coming in to training camp every day. After all, Donald Hutson and Tinsley are generally credited with being the two greatest pass receivers of all time. For weeks we had been besieged on all sides with one question.

"Will Tinsley report?" Chicagoans weren't bothered about the other men. A month of negotiations and a handsome salary offer finally persuaded the former Louisiana State hero to chuck his high-school coaching job and return to the football wars. He had played with the Chicago Cardinals in 1937-38. Last fall, after a week in training camp, he left to take over the high-school job. No reason, especially; just decided to quit the pro game.

"Well, I'm just 25," he said after depositing his luggage, "and I ought to have several good years left. Maybe there are a few boys can still fool left in this here league." Now, you hear about supermen of the football world, but the legend always outstrips the truth. Anyone who has been in the game for years takes stories of gridiron greats with a touch of salt. I played against most of the football gods of the post-war decade and the stories now in circulation about some of them are ridiculous. Continued From Fage One.

wrestler, unless the idea merely is to trade on Dempsey's name. In last week's Look Magazine a match between Tunney and Dempsey was discussed and discarded as an impossibility. And of course Tunney has too much sense plus too much money to entertain for a moment such a thought. The merit or demerit of his "long count" victory will have to stand as of record. At 45 you don't refight the battles of 13 years ago.

One thought of interest was developed in the article. This was that Dempsey is not impelled to these cheap knockout exhibitions by financial necessity. It was pointed out that he has a $400,000 annuity which protects him. That's good to know. For Dempsey during his time has been free-handed and more than liberal.

He has not feared to invest his money in business. And he has done a lot to promote interest in boxing and all connected with it. His enthusiasm for the game that gave him life's biggest break has never waned. Uncle Sam Got More Than Dempsey. CONSIDERING the vast sums that Dempsey has earned during his career, it would be distressing to think that all of it had gotten away from him something that has happened to almost ail of the top rank fighters of the past.

Dempsey as a fighter drew millions of dollars. And he collected millions. But also he paid out plenty of it. I'ntie Sam was one of his principal beneficiarie Super taxes were high when Dempsey was oing big And Uncle Sam probably got more out of the purse than Dempsey himself, on occasion. Jack, even after losing his title the second time, went on devoting his energy to amassing money.

His first "comeback" tour which lasted months was a gold mine. His refereeing also netted him a fortune. He was paid a king's ransom to manage or lend his name to a restaurant; and he finally found the business a OVERCOATS i i i A i i i i i bought months ago.
