The voice said: "This is Bob Mr. Hernon, never a man to be out-gagged, replied: "Hello, Bob, this is Abner Doubleday."

They knew well enough that Pitt had won this gaine t. IT- in their long series by a score of 33-7. It was the same- core by which Pitt lost the opener to Tllinoia. But they were still dubious to explain how the West Virginians suddenly became short circuited, if they did, in a furious -second period that probably broke all stadium records for scoring. It was in this quarter that West Virginia made its touchdown the first time since 1925 that they had tallied ahead of Pitt only to have the Panthers turn on every green light on the field.

When the breathless period 'was little more than nine minutes old, Pitt had piled four touchdowns on top of the Mountaineers one. For all the visitors from the Mon-ongahela Valley could do about it, this much-to-be-desired objective game on their schedule was a complete, blackout. West Virginia had enjoyed a shade better of the going at first. PBut once the Panthers started to generate their power the Mounties were as completely outplayed as they have ever been in the long his- STATISTICS PITT 1 110 62 4 a 3 i 10 34 H. W.

The Mountaineers' touchdown came on a 28-yard pass pitched by Russ Combs to the veteran Chuck HelenskL Charley Becca attended to the seventh point. Standing out above all else, however, was the superior performance of the. Pitt front line. It utterly squelched West Virginia's veteran forwards, many of whom got then-first taste of grubbing up front on the 1942 and 1943 elevens at Morgan town.

Pitt outcharged and out-maneuvered the Mountaineers continually. It held them to 48 yards along the ground and was able to open paths for its backs from tackle to tackle with surprising ease.

It was lights out for the West-Virginians from that Instant.

And so it went until Feller explained that as soon as the American League season was over he was leading a team of all-stars on a barnstorming tour. Their opponents would be a Negro team topped 'by the fabulous "Satchel" Paige, who has been the Feller and then some of his race for an almost unbelievable stretch of years.

Eventually, the all clear sounded in Brother Hernon's brain, and that's how the game scheduled for Forbes Field tomorrow night came about. Handles Own Work It was typical of Bob Feller that he should have handled the details of his tour bv himself. Rapid Robert is one of the noblest figures in sports, yet he is as down to earth as a clod of the rich soil on the Iowa farm where he grew up and learned to pitch by throwing a baseball at a target hung on the barn. Feller never has asked for a tavor, not even from Uncle Sam when the war came. His enlistment in the Navy oame early, he pitched part of one summer for the Norfolk Naval Training Station while he was absorbing his basic and then he was gone first to Alaska find then farther west into the Pacific.

Word came back that he was in charge of a gun crew. It was probably the first time in tils' life he ever helped throw anything that traveled faster than his own fast balL American League batters might wish to argue the point. Feller's catcher was the Pirates' Vinnie Smith who tells a story about Bob 111 set ddwn here for the second time In case you missed it last Spring. The Norfolk squad had gone to New York to meet a rival service outfit, and was quartered in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. As Smith says, "We were told we could have leave to go into the city if we wished, but most of us were living on gobs' pay and didn't have the money." -That afternoon," Smith went on, "Bob cornered me.

'I'm better heeled than most of you he said, pulling out a roH of bills. Take the gang to town, spend the night and have a good With that he handed me $500." Grid Start with Him The businesslike. Mr. Feller has picked a team calculated to stir the imaginations of the fans. In' Outfielder Sam Chapman of the A's and Pitcher Spud Chandler of the Yanks he has the start of a football team.

Chapman was an All-America halfback at California, helped beat Alabama in the Rose Bowl; Chandler made All-Southern at Georgia. He wore a Georgia uniform in the Yankee Stadium betore he put on one belonging to the Yanks. Twelve men on the Feller Stars were in service. Johnny Berardino has the distinction, of having done hitches in both the Army and Navy, for when the former Novm TAKE A LOOK AT MY SOLDIER turned him loose with a medical discharge he talked himself into the sea forces. No less than 11 of the Stars have played in the National-American All-Star Game, seven showing-in the lineup this year.

Bob's teammate. Third Sacker Ken Keltner, has been picked for five All-Star engagements. Pittsburgh has seen "Satchel" Paige, whose seemingly indestructible arm is one of the wonders of the game. Ol Batch has wandered up and down the country for more than a score of years, with frequent excursions into Central America where he is an idol. A good deal of his blinding speed is gone, and Satch has to "fool 'em with man haid" now.

but he continues to be such a drawing card that his annual income is reckoned in the neighborhood of $40,000. "Satchel" says he got his nickname when he was smashing baggage in the railroad station at Mobile, Ala. Others say It sprung from his feet, which are encased In Size 14 shoes. But he's a pitcher few greater have come down the pike. Bisons Sign Fullback BUFFALO, N.

Sept. 28 The Buffalo Bisons of. the All-America Conference have signed Jimmy Thibaud, 215-pound fullback and former Tulans University player. MM Pirates Wallop Redlegs, 10-3 Gustine Clouts i Two Home Runs CINCINNATI, Sept. 28 (Special) Frankie Gustine blossomed forth as a versa tilexhomerun hitter here today to help the Pirates score a hollow 10-3 victory over the Reds.

Coach Virgil (Spud) Davis -took command of Pittsburgh's team for the final two days of the season. The job of bossing the Pirates in their last three games was wished on Davis after Manager Frankie Prisch had announced his resignation. Ewell Blackwell's lack of control helped make it easy for the Pirates but Blackwell wasn't the victim of Gustine's sudden show of power. Shows No Favorites Frankie belted a one-run homer over the leftfield fence off Harry Gumbert in the fourth inning. The.

he clouted a two-run four-master over the rightfield screen off Clyde Shoun in the eighth for Pittsburgh's last two runs. Blackwell walked two and made a wild pitch before Ralph Kiner socked him for a double in the first inning in which the Pirates got way in front to stay by scoring twice. Two were out and none on In third when the Bucs sewed up the game with three runs. Bill Salkeld started this rally with a single. Bob Elliott singled to center, Kiner walked and Cox tripled to right.

Reds Rally Following Gustine's homer with one out in the fourth Elbie Fletcher walked, advanced on Jim Russell's infield out and scored on Salkeld's single. The Reds then had their one rally. Ray Mueller singled and Rookie Jim Walsh then hit Eddie Lukon with a pitched ball and walked Bobby Adams. Eddie Shokes and Dain Clay singled, Shokes driving home two runs and Clay one. Adams muffed an opening pop Dy Gustine in the sixth and it was turned into a run by Fletcher's suigle and Russell's force of Fletcher.

Handley Doubles Lee Handley doubled to left to start the eighth, moved to third when Lonnie Frey caught Nick Slrincevich's long foul and walked home when Gustine followed with his second homer. Davis lifted Walsh in favor 01 Strincevich after Walsh had walked two in a row with one out in the fifth. Strincevich thus picked up his 10th victory of the season and his third over the Reds.

The other game ended in a scoreless tie.

Attendance 25,956. Bums Keep Going, Beat Braves, 7-4 NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (UP) The Brooklyn Dodgers walked to a 7-4 victory over the Bosten Braves today. And "walked" was right, for the Dodgers drew eight bases on balls, most of which affected 'the scoring. 1 n's prize left-handed rookie, Joe Hatten, turned in a five-hit pitching job for his 14th victory and his fourth without a defeat over the Braves.

There was a crowd of 30,929 out to whoop for the Dodgers. Most of them sensed that victory was in the offing when Johnny Sain, Boston's ace right hander, was touched for two runs in the first on three walks and a hit After that Manager Billy South-worth removed Sain and inserted Lefty Dick Mulligan. Mulligan walked Howie Schultz, and Augie Galan scored with the third run on a force-out by Carl Purillo. After that, Pee Wee Reese hit into a double play to end the rally. In the fifth, the Bums used their walking technique to spark them in another three-run rally.

The Dodgers got their final run off Ed Wright, fourth Boston pitcher, in the seventh. BOSTON ABHPA BROOKLYN Culler.ss... 3 0 6 ABHPA Herman. lb. 3 19 Stanky.Zb..
