Acting cm a recommendation of George Sisler.

Scout Phil Weiner of the Dodgers yesterday signed Negray to a Dodger contract and the Akron boy will report to the St. Paul farm club of tbe American association next spring. Negray, six-foot, one-inch 165-pound right hander, won 31 games and lost three duringhis four-year stretch with Garfield. Last season he struck out 115 batter in 66 Innings while winning eight out of nine decisions. The Akronite also had been sought by the Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Tigers.

If they are lucky, thfir fason's long fight will be climaxed next Sunday by the winning of their second American league flag and their first in 28 years. And all the frenzied, fanatical display of interest for these last five long months will be made to look tarne in comparison with the deliriums which will follow during the period of the World Series. The season cannot come to a cliwe too noon, ho far a a lot of individuals, organization and businesses arc concerned.

They have meen hurt financially by the Indian craze which already has resulted In 2,422,107 customers paying into the 61 baseball opening" In Cleveland stadium, an average of 10,000 every time the gates were unlocked. At $1.50 or $2 per ticket, plus cost of transportation, food, drink, aouvenirs. occasional lodgings and frequent gratuities, that possibly means $7,000,000 or more which has been paid to a comparatively few persona In and around the Cleveland stadium this summer. Changes In Economic Conditions Tulane Tops Tide Eleven In21-14Fra NEW ORLEANS UP) Tu-lane's Green Wave upset Alabama's Crimson Tide 21-14 yesterday, thanks mainly to the passing of Quarterback Joe Ernst and to most of the breaks. An estimated 60,000 spectators watched the old Southeastern conference rivals open their campaigns in hot, clear weather.

Ernst, seldom used in two previous seasons on the squad, pitched for one Tulane touchdown and most of the yaTdage needed the other two. A fumble recovery on the Alabama S'i gave Tulane its next chance in the third period, hi Price circled left end for the last four yards. A few minutes later Tulane got the bail on Kama's 87 through a bad punt, and Ernst tossed 20 yards to End Dick Sheffield on the goal line. Euel Davis, sixth string tackle, booted the Tulane extra points. Alabama came back with a 68-yard scoring march, sparked by Ed White's passes and climaxed by Tom Calvin's four-yard touchdown plunge through the middle.

Minutes later Alabama recovered a fumble on Tulane's 26. Ed Salem passed to Charley Davis on the nine and then went off right tackle for a touchdown. Alabama outrushed Tulane 213 net yards to 100, and led 15 to 9 in first downs. Tulane completed six out of 18 passes for 89 yards, and Alabama made seven out of 17 good for 76 yards.

I .4 IT DEFINITELY means heavy changes in the economic in the territory from which the Indians draw their patronage. There has been much protesting by operators of interests which tor fcvt do not profit from baseball and there will be more if the Indians climax summer of getting it all by grabbing a few million bucks tnrough the World Movies and legitimate theaters have been hard hit.

leveland Brown have been pushed Into temporary oblivion along Willi me college gridders who, In years past, have seldom hail to share the spotlight with baseball and almost never with the Indians. The recent Cranwood race meeting suffered seriously and the current Ascot meeting Is suffering similarly. All attention is on the horsehide and not on the horses Recently I Inquired why an Akron business firm is cancelling out lbs radio program which has been a fixture for many years. The Viewer was Immediate. Customers are listening to only one radio program the Indian broadcasts.

He called Tripucka's performance "superb" and said he "never saw a better game in my life."

The Ohioans piled up 20 first downs to Missouri's 10, grinding out 15 on the ground while Missouri took to the air for six in completing 10 of 29 tosses. Missouri showed speed and elusiveness in returning kicks, chasing four punts and four kick-offs back a total of 230 yards while the Bucks moved only 85 yards with five runbacks. taking over for Whisler who was injured, led the Ohio bays from scrimmage with 67 yards in 16 tries.

Clark got 59 yards the some number of jaunts despite a loss of 12 on one play. Whisler made 50 yards in six plays, Jerry Krall 35 in five, and Slager 30 in six runs. Savic had a prefect day on the pitching end, tossing and completing four passes for 50 yards. His throws came when the Bucks whipped momentarily from the single, wing to the formation, catching the Tigers unprepared as they awaited the usual shift. Braznell was the big gainer for Missouri with 38 yards in seven tries from scrimmage.

Either that, or they can't take the time from their repeated trips to Cleveland stadium; can't take their ears from the haseball broadcasts, or their eyes from the telecasts long enough to spend it. No other sports promotion in the Cleveland Indians' drawing area has been successful this year. auto racing suffered a big docllne and a licking at the box offices. Boxing has become almost a thing of the past in Akron and Cleveland and will remain so until, as Hob Heath puts it, the. Indians' uniforms are packed In moth balls The National A.A.U.

swim meet of three week ends ago was an artistic success but a financial fizzle which lost $4,700. The Indians were away from home when the meet was staged at Cuyahoga Falls pool, but even some of the so-called most Interested swim fans could not be lured to the pool lest they miss a baseball play as detailed by Jack Graney and Jimmy Dudley. AT a few days ago, where I went with the idea of talking Ohio State football, the topic in the athletic department was strictly baseball. At least, it reverted to baseball about 50 seconds out of every minute. Wes Eesler said that the Indians had everybody down there so spell-bound It was almost impossible to believe that Ohio State's opening game was only a couple days away.

Should the Indians be lucky enough to get into the World Series the situation is due to become critically alarming. Homo business firms may have to clone tip shop. Industrial production Is almost certain to bo seriously curtailed during the periods I covered by the series games. I can begin to see clearly enough why it was so often said that Alva Bradley, former owner of the Cleveland club, was not Interested In having a pennant winner, I can understand, too, why a lot of Boston Red Sox writers are pulling against the Red Sox and why a lot of New York writers aren't anxious to have the Yankees win the flag.

Coach Jimmy Aiken's Webfoota finally came to life as their great quarterback, Norman Van Brocklin began hitting his receivers and brilliant young Johnny McKay started romping around the ends. The two teams had battled to a scoreless first quarter and it wasn't unt midway the second period iat thPr(, wtt, an offensive threat, Then Van Brocklin hit end Dan (ira wi(h two successive bull s- eye passes that carried 43 yards tn the six.

There Quarterback Tom Shaw passed to End Dan Mervin In the end zone. Emery Mitchell missed the first of his two conversion attempts just as the half ended.

STANFORD forged ahead in the third period with a 78-yard powerhouse drive that paid off when Bob White ploughed through center from the six. The deciding point actually came from the toe of Van Brocklin, when he kicked the extra point after McKay had made a brilliant 23-yard run around end, escaping three Stanford tacklers. That made it IS-13 for the Webfoota. The surplus counter came in the fourth stanza when Wayne Bar-tholmew broke into the Stanford backfield to intercept one of Shaw's passes on the Stanford 46 and raced unmolested down the field to pay-dirt.

Sheridan, awakening the stumbling Broncos after Oklahoma had piled up a 10-point lead, flipped two long passes into the end zone and scored Santa Clara's other touchdown on a "bootleg" dash around end.

r.P) Some 200 fans, claiming a refund of their bets when Even Break refused to start in the fourth race, swarmed over the Atlantic City race track yesterday and delayed running of the fifth race until they were paid. Even Break, the favorite, failed to break when the gate opened. The fans, who had contributed to the total of $71,414 bet on the thoroughbred, demanded a refund. hotiser will be shooting for his 20th win of the season. Eeller has 14 defeats and New-houser has 1 1.

but most of these were chalked up early in the campaign when both were plagued with bad luck. THE FELLER who pitched an 8-1 win over the Yankees in New York on Aug. 27, has been an entirely different Feller, ever since. He had a must game last Wednesday night against the Red Sox and it developed Into a 5-2 Cleveland victory in which Keller gave the potent Hostonians only three hits. It was that win which put the Indians buck Into the flag fight.

Another like It Is needed today to keep them In It. Twice this season the Indians have hail seven game winning streaks halted by the Tigers Earlier the Tigers handed Eeller his 1.1th loss as they broke such a streak and Friday they handed Bob Lemon his 13th defeat as they broke a simllsr streak of seven wins. IF THE Indians can make it No. 2 today in the new streak which started yesterday and can develop it Into a third seven-game streak, they cannot he beaten out of the pennant through anything else than a post-season play TEXAS' lone tally was Campbell's show. He passed down the middle to Peppy Blount 28 yards to the Carolina 42.

Campbell hit the line to the 25, and Hercules heaved a long one to Ben who streaked beyond the Carolina secondary and into the end zone. Frank Guess converted. Those long tosses gave Texas a hand in the statistics department, giving the Longhorns 183 yards to 99 passing.

Cuesa. TIGERS BUY ROGOVIX DETROIT General Manager Billy Evans announced yesterday that the Detroit Tigers have purchased Pitcher Saul Rogovin from Buffalo. Oilers, 14-9. In Opener Continued from Page I-C To make the score even more convincing. Dick Bauer came into the game and kicked a perfect con version.

That made the score 7-0 Akron, and the outcome was never again in doubt, although the Oilers did give the Akronites some anxiety In the final minutes of play. Findlay stormed back with Abe Mike and Frank Timonore sparking a drive that carried to' the Akron 14-yard line. Nevertheless, Akron didn't fold up. The line simply stiffened and threw back three straight running plays and took over. An exchange of punts in late minutes of the quarter, put Akron on Findlay's 30-yard line, and Frank.

Buhas sparked a drive that carried to the 14. Here TUlet went to work again. With the line giving him good protection, he faded back and then tossed a flat pass to little Cene Scruggs in the left flat, and Scruggs scooted the remaining dis tance in record time for the sec ond counter. Bauer again converted and it was 14-0. FINDLAY STILL wasn't through, however, and they continued to threaten.

Akron's line was forced to beat off two more thrusts one of them carrying all the way to the six-yard stripe. Here, Findlay had the ball with a first down. "But the Akron line, led by Merzweiler, Phillips and Floyd Azar simply plied up every play in sight, it finally ended when N'ick Kathrien was run out of bounds on the five-yard line. This did result in Findlay getting it's first points however. On the third play, after a backfield-in-motion penalty set Akron back to the one, Buhas was tackled behind his goal line for a safety.

It gave Findlay two points. After that, Akron tired, but they could be forgiven for that. Findlay began to chew up yardage in the air and on the ground, with Timonore, Mike and a converted lineman, Bob Wortman, doing most of the work. TAKING LEROY PEACH'S safety kickoff, they drove to Akron's 33, from where Timonore passed to Dick Susede on the 14. He then passed to Tom Watson for the touchdown.

Bob Carter converted and Akron led by only 14-9 but there was less than a minute left. Just as Buhas took the ensuing kickoff, the gun sounded and Akron had It's first victory of the season, a hard earned triumph over a team that waa heavily favored. First downs in the game were even 9-9, although Findlay had a slight over-all edge in yardage, 269 to 246. AKRON 14 ENDS Merrztreiler. Haury.

a I THE Corner Mais wagon this summer but it Is neither interesting nor enjoyable these last few days. Even my hideout here in Detroit has provided no protection against telephone calls and telegrams from here, there and everywhere, from friends and acquaintances real and fancied all insisting upon help in their behalf in the matter of obtaining series tickets. J'eeck's Popularity Apt To Decline RILL VEECK has made himself extremely popular with many persons in his comparatively short time as a Clevelander. But this popularity will end for many of his 2.422,000 fans when they find their applications for aeries tickets being returned unopened. The 2,422,107 fans who have seen the Indians play in tho big stadium this summer naturally do not represent that many individuals.

But tho gross figure certainly far exceeds the 70,000 who may be able to bo accommodated at World Series games in Cleveland if the Indians aro lucky enough to stagger through to the pennant. It has been suggested by a national magazine that Commissioner Happy Chandler who, by the way, is in charge of the World atari plans at once that will permit all baseball fans to sen the aeries games. The suggestion is that gigantic outdoor television screens be set up In all baseball parks throughout the country and in many theaters "so that the fans whose eulhulsnsm and loyalty, in good times and bad, have made baseball the fabulously rich and successful enterprise It is today, can enjoy these games." That would be a poor substitute for the real thing, of course, yet the suggestion has merit. Why not dedicate the 1941 World Series to the late Babe Ruth, charge a small admission for the millions who would sen the aeries by television and donate all revenue over expenses to the Babe Ruth fund for cancer research Trusting that a percentage of receipts from the actual series games also would be contributed to this fund. Victory Keeps Indians In Thick Of Race yard line after a seven-yard Purdue punt had given the Irish the ball on the Boilermaker 36.

THE BOILERMAKERS spanned 35 yards to score with two minutes left in the half. The score came on an arrow-like pass from DeMoss to Norb Adams covering 19 yards. Sophomore Rudy Trbo-vich converted and Notre Dame led, 12-7, as the teams left for the half time intermission. Came the third period. The Boilermakers took Notre Dame's knickoff and marched 74 yards to a touchdown with Adams plunging across from the two-yard line.

In this 15-play sequence, Adams, Harry S.ulborsUl and Bob Agnew chewed Notre Dame's line to bits with slashing darts through the middle. This time Trbovlch's try-was wide. Purdue was ahead, 13-12. Then came the break of the game. George "Punzelt's kick in niidfield was partially blocked by End Jim Martin of Notre Dame.

The ball scudded a few yards and was grabbed by l'anelli, who streaked 70 yards fur a touchdown. Again Oracko's kick went awry and Notre Dame led, 18-13, as the third period ended. Notre Dame then called on Oracko to boot his 23-yard field goal for a 21-13 lead as the fourth period opened. I'l'RDI'E CAME right back to score after DeMoss hurled a 51-yard pass to Sophomore Neil Schmidt and then himself sneaked Into pal-dirt from the one-yard line, Trbovich again added the point. With little more than two minutes left, Zmijewski stole DeMoss' pass, a desperation toss, on Purdue's own seven.

He bulled into the end zone. Oracko's successful try made it Notre Dame 28, Purdue 20. Then came Purdue's final scoring thrust covering () yards In the closing seconds. Notre Dame's Frank Iahy said the effect that Feller is strictly a hot weather pitcher, but the records will scarcely substantiate such opinion. He has frequently been at his beat in the opening games In cold April.

He has thrown two of his no-hitters In that month and has come up with near no-hlttcrs on other cold occasions. Weather during this series has been akin to that of the opening games and the Cleveland contingent is hopeful that Keller's performance will be the same. Cleveland Mitchell.
