HARRiDGE REVEALS Richmond Coach Commands Host of Talented Backs BAD WEATHER PLAN American League Adopts Precautionary Measure To Insure Sox, Yankee Tilts CHICAGO, Sept. 29 (U.R). President Will Harridge of the American League announced today that plans have been made to lessen any influence which weather might have on the Boston and New York games in the American League tomorrow. Although neither team was scheduled to play tomorrow, games were slated after today's contests, Philadelphia at New York and Boston at Washington, were rained out. Under the plan announced by Harridge, and approved by both clubs, should weather force the postponement of either game tomorrow afternoon, it will be rescheduled as a night contest tomorrow.

If either afternoon game is started and darkness falls before completion of nine innings, and it is a legal game with either club ahead, the game will be called. In other words, Harridge said, it could not be finished under the lights. However, if the score is tied when darkness falls, the lights will be turned on and the game completed. Harridge pointed out particularly that the umpires will be the sole judge whether either the afternoon or night games shall be started, in event weather is a factor. Under the rules, this right to determine whether a game shall start normally belongs to the home team.

Should there be night games, Harridge said, the Boston at Washington game would start at 6:30 p. m. EST in order to permit the Boston team to catch a New York plane The Philadelphia at New York game. if played at night, would start at 8 p. m.

EST. Should rain make play impossible at either Washington or New York tomorrow the game involved would definitely be off, league headquarters said. The schedule plan was proposed by league headquarters, it was announced, to alleviate the weather factor in determining the championship. Princeton Drills Indoors For Encounter With Navy PRINCETON, N. JM Sept.

29 UP). Rain drove Princeton's football team indoors today for final heavy practice before the Tigers encounter Navy on Saturday. The Nassau varsity was put through its paces for more than twg hours on the dirt floor of the Prince ton ROTC Armory. With emphasis again on defensive play, the Tigers polished and re- polished defensive shifts to be used against the Middies. Fred Gloeckner moved into second place in the race for the tailback post on Princeton first team today.

The tall rangy sophomore, who has been used mainly for de fense, is being groomed for offensive duty. National Loop Series Will Open in St. Louis; American Single Tilt at Boston NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (U.R). A flip of a coin by each of the major league presidents determined playoff sites today in the event of regular season ties, with the National League's best-of-three series sched uled to open in St.

Louis, Tuesday, and the American League single game in Boston on Monday. President Ford Frick of the Na tional League tossed a coin in New York and Will Harridge, president of the American League, flipped a coin in Chicago while officials of the four clubs involved "attended" the ceremony by telephone. The Brooklyn Dodgers, who won the toss, elected to play the first game in St. Louis, with the second, and third if necessary to be held in Brooklyn, next Thursday and Friday. Fred Saigh, owner of the St.

Louis Cardinals, and Jack Collins, business manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, were hooked up by telephone with Frick. General Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox won the American League toss and with it the advantage of playing the single playoff game in Boston. General Manager George Weiss of the New York Yankees was at the other point of the triangular telephonic conversation. Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, Commissioner A. B.

Chandler outlined tentative arrangements for the World Series in the event that league playoffs prevented the classic from opening on Oct. 5 as scheduled. Chandler said that if a National League playoff is decided by Oct. 6 the second day of the scheduled St Louis-Brooklyn series the World Series probably will open in the park of the American League champion on Saturday, Oct. 8.

If the Cards-Dodgers playoff goes the full three games, Chandler said he was undecided about whether to begin the World Series on Oct. 8, or Sunday, Oct. 9. If Brooklyn wins the National League pennant, no travel days will be required. If the Cards win, single travel days would be allowed as the site of the series shifts.

The half dollar used In the American League ceremony was the same used to determine the playoff arrangements last year when the Yankees, Red Sox and Cleveland In dians were in a dog-fight for the pennant on the last week of the season. Boston and Cleveland eventually tied and the Indians won the playoff in Boston. Today's coin-tossing ceremony was the fourth by the American League. The procedure was followed in the close races of 1944 and 1945, although there were no ties for the league pennant. Frick explained that the National League playoffs would not start until Tuesday and that there would be an Open, date on Wednesday to allow the teams time for travel.

In 1946, the same Cardinals and Dodgers, finished in a tie for the National League flag. The Cards won the opening game in St. Louis and the second game in Brooklyn and went on to defeat the Red Sox in the World Series. Freak Home Run Enables Indians to Whip Chisox CHICAGO, Sept. 29 (JP).

A freak home run by Third Baseman Bob Kennedy helped the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox, 8-3, today as the winners pulled within a game of third place Detroit in American League standings. Kennedy's sixth inning liner with two men on base rolled into a hole under a bench in the Chicago bullpen at the foot of the left field foul line for a homer.

29 (JP) Bucky Walters, who failed to develop the Cincinnati Reds into a winning team this year, was released as manager today. Inexperience was given by Warren Giles, general manager, as the reason for letting the once great righthanded pitcher go. He will be retained in the organization, Giles said, but it was not announced what job he will fill. Walters, a hero to the local fans even as his Reds slumped into seventh place just barely ahead of the cellar-ridden Chicago Cubs, left Cincinnati today. Giles left it to him whether he wants to manage the Reds in their final three games of the season at Pittsburgh.

Walters said he would think it over while driving East. If he decides to continue to his Philadelphia home. Luke Sewell. coach, will be in charge of the club in the series beginning tomorrow. The 39-year-old Bucky took his dismissal in stride, although to those who saw and talked to him it was apparent he was hard hit.

"It's like being removed from the he told a reporter. "I was knocked out of the box occasionally when I was a pitcher and got over it. This is a similar situation. "I want to thank all the fans who have given me their loyal support in my 11 seasons with the Reds. They were swell and IH always cherish the years I wore a Red uniform as being the brightest of my career." Giles, discussing Walters' release with newsmen, said: "We believe that the club needs a man with more managerial experience than Walters.

We do not know at this time who his successor will be. We have three or four men under consideration, but nothing along that line will be done until after the World Series." Giles said the three or four men under consideration at present are not in the Cincinnati organization, which has teams at Syracuse, Tulsa, Charleston and Columbia. Walters was appointed manager on Aug. 6, 1948, while the club was in Brooklyn and in a slump. He succeeded Johnny Neun, now with the New York Yankee organization.

Baseball experts did not give his team much chance of getting anywhere after they looked the talent over during spring training. The club surprised everyone, how ever, by playing fine baseball early in the season. Then the pitching went bad, the hitting fell off, and a general deterioration set in. The team is just two games ahead of the Cubs. Walters, who began his major league as a third baseman, then developed into a star pitcher, helped Cincinnati win two National League pennants and one World Series.

He was beaten twice in the World Series against the New York Yan kees, who copped the title in 1939, but came back a year later to win two against Detroit as the Reds won the championship. Walters' pitching arm went bad two years ago, but occasionally he showed some of his old skill. He has won 198 games in the majors ana, untu ne became manager, hoped to make it an even 200 before retiring. He did not pitch a championship game this season. Iowa State Again Stresses Passing in Light Workout AMES, Sept.

29 The Iowa State Cyclones held their final practice today before leaving for Lawrence, and Saturday's game with Kansas. Coach Abe Stuber again stressed passing in today's light workout. In a punting drill, Bob Angle and Dana Omer got off the best kicks. There was no scrimmage. A squad of 35 players will leave tomorrow afternoon by train.

Stuber said his starting offensive lineup will be the same as the one used against Illinois. SJIU GUARD INJURED DALLAS, Sept. 29 (JP). Walter Roberds, senior guard on the Southern Methodist University football team, suffered a knee injury in blocking practice today and will not be able to play against Missouri Saturday night, Coach Matty Bell announced. placed by Nick Cekine.

The Sallies have only about 15 players that Father O'Neill can rely on for full time duty and the team, in addition to being undermanned, is light. Tonight's tilt will be the 'rubber of a five-game series between the two schools. Salesianum won in 1945 and '46, but dropped decisions to the Redskins the past two seasons. Conrad, which crushed Caesar Rodney, 25-0, last week, came out of the game without serious injuries. As a result, Coach John Chanowski will not make any changes in the lineup.

Conrad scrimmaged against Mt. Pleasant High Tuesday. Downstate, Lewes will launch its season by playing host to Bridge-ville, starting at 8 p. m. Filmore Clifton, former star athlete at Lewes who now is coach at Bridgeville, will be honored at ceremonies prior to the game.

duPont Invades Upper Chichester's field. Murry Dickson Tames Red Birds for Fifth Time This Season By JOE REICHLER PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29 (JP). Little Murry Dickson, who helped pitch the St. Louis Cardinals into the World Series in 1946, may have knocked them out of it this year.

Dickson pitched the Pittsburgh Pi rates to a 7-2 victory over his for mer mates today and it knocked them out of first place in the National League. The Brooklyn Dodg trs took over the top rung by sweeping a doubleheader from the Braves in Boston, 9-2 and 8-0, A rousing four-run Pirate outburst against starter Gerald Staley and Howie Pollet in the 'sixth inning helped seal St. Louis' doom, and paved the way for Dickson's fifth triumph of the year over the flighty Redbirds. The big blow of the frame was delivered by Monte Basgall, a former Dodger farmhand. The sophomore second baseman slammed relief pitcher Pollet's first pitch into the right field corner to send the second and third runs of the inning over the plate.

When Red Schoen-dienst threw past the plate, Basgall raced home with the fourth run. -r Seal Verdict in 8th A walk to Ralph Kiner and singles by Wally Westlake and Pete Castig-lione had routed Staley, put the Bucs in front, 2-1, and brought Pol-let to the scene. The pestiferous Pirates, just to make certain they would become the only team to capture the season's series from the Cards, added two insurance runs off Ted Wilks in the eighth when, following a walk to Johnny Hopp, Wally walloped his 23rd home run over the scoreboard in left. The Cards scored their runs in the first and last innings. Between those rounds, Dickson limited them to two harmless hits and retired 12 men in succession until Rockey Nelson doubled with one out in the ninth inning.

He scored on a one-bagger by pinch hitter Bill Hower-ton, but the Cards' last chance faded when Steve Bilko, another pinch hitter, watched a third strike to end the game. For three innings it looked like Dickson was going to suffer another one of those heart-breaking early season defeats that has held his rec- ord aovm to 12-14. A sinirl by Stan Musial and a two-bagger by Enos Slaughter with two away in the first inning had given the Cards 1-0 advantage. Break Helps Pirates Although the Pirates clipped Stan ley for a hit in each of the first three innings, they went into the last half of the fourth trailing by that 1-0 score. A big break helped the Bucs even matters in rne iourtn.

hopd was "sting on first with two out whent Castiglione rapped an easy grounder to third. The ball, however, hit a clump of dirt and bounced over Tommy Glav- iano's head for a fluke single into left field. Enos Slaughter tried to make a play for Hopp at third, but the ball slipped from his grasp as he was about to throw it, and Hopp scored the tying run as Castiglione raced to second. But there was nothing flukey about those big four runs in the sixth and two in the eighth. Dickson, who has allowed only two runs in his last 25 innings, has won 10 of his last 13 decisions, his last five in a row.

The loss was Staley's 10th against as many victories. The Cards hope to get back on the beam again in Chicago, where they open a three-game series to morrow. Dyer has announced south paw Max Lanier (5-3) as his pitcher. Manager Frankie Frisch of the Cubs is expected to counter with Bob (9-18) Rush, a right hander, who dropped a 3-2 decision in St. Louis last Saturday.

Ed Dudley is Eliminated In British Golf Tourney LEEDS, England, Sept. 29 Ed Dudley of Augusta, honor ary captain of the American Ryder Cup team, was defeated today in the first round of the Daily Telegraph pro-amateur golf tournament. Dudley and amateur Alan Turner of Leeds lost 4 and 3 to Donald Cameron of Scotland and John Burton, a brother of British Ryder cup player Dick Burton.

The Cameron-Burton combina tion was four up after five holes Dudley and Turner won only two holes during the round. Dudley was the only American entrant, Seven of the Ryder Cup team were scheduled to play but al 9-2 and 8-0 Wins Enable Bums To TakeHalf Game Lead By TED SMITS BOSTON, Sept. 29 (JP). The dauntless Brooklyn Dodgers squeezed past the St. Louis Cardinals Into first place In the home stretch of the fierce National League race today by defeating the Boston Braves, 8-2.

and 8-0. Coupled with Pittsburgh's second successive defeat of the Cardinals, the Dodgers now lead half a game, with two to play, both at Philadelphia. The Cards have three games left, all with the Chicago Cubs. The second game of the damp-gray doubleheader was played in a drizzle and ended after five innings in semi-darkness amid much comic horse-play by the Braves. Superlative pitchmg by Preacher Roe and Don Newcombe plus plenty of hefty hitting, including three-run homers by Carl Furillo and Duke Snider, accomplished what looked last Sunday like the impossible.

Then it was the Phillies beat the Dodgers 5-3 and sent them a game and half behind the Cardinals. Last Led on Aug. 16 The last time the Dodgers were in front in the National League was on Aug. 16, and the margin was only half a game. The Dodgers and the Cardinals were tied on Aug.

19, but from then on it has been St. Louis in front. Although neither game was a real contest, no one can say the Braves didn't try. They started their two pitching aces, Warren Spahn and John Sain, and the Dodgers promptly knocked both out of the box. Spahn went out in the fourth inning of the first game soon after Snider knocked the ball into the right field "jury box" with Gill Hodges and Roy Campanella on base.

Spahn was trying for his 21st victory. Sain fled even Quicker. Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Gene Her-manski, and Hodges all belted "him for singles in the first inning of the second game, and he walked Spider Jorgensen in the bargain. Five runs were charged against him. For the space of hour and a half, the two major league races were tied with the season's finish only three days away.

This had never before hannened so close to the end of the season. But when the Dodgers took the second the deadlock in the Na- tional League was Drosexi. Braves Apparently Stalling So wet, dismal and gloomy were the proceedings that boos were frequent in the second game at the ineptness-and apparent stalling tactics of the Braves. When the umpires conferred with Manager Burt Shotton of the Dodgers, a roar went up. Obviously both the crowd and Shotton wanted to let the game go for five innings to make it omciai Although the DKirV and the Braves have an open date tomorrow, Shotton didn't want to lose the fat lpnrf his slueeers built up.

In the last of the fifth inning of the second game, when Connie Ryan nf thf Braves tried to come into the batters circle wearing a big, black raincoat, the umpires didn't think it was funny and threw him out of the game. Then the Braves lit a fire at the edge of their dug-out presumably to truide their batters back. The crowd, that cheered the Braves to the pennant last year, was raucus and cynical. But the Dodgers didn't care. They were back in front.

Now if they win their remaining two games, the St. Louis Cardinals must take all three at Chicago to make the race a tie. The same two clubs were tied for first at the close of the reg ular 1946 season, and the Cardinals won the playoff: (Firit Game) BROOKLYN BOSTON abrho a ab Reese, ss yurillo.rf Hociges.lb Olmo.lf Snlder.cf Roe.p 3 13 2 2 Sisti.cf Dark, s.i Ryan, 2b R.Elliott.3b Russell, If Sauer.rf Crandall.c Fletcher.lb Spahn, Hall.p aHolmes 3 0 12 0 4 0 0 3 1 4 116 1 5 2 1 2 5 12 2 0 4 0 12 2 4 14 2 2 5 12 8 1 4 0 0 2 0 4 0 2 3 0 4 0 0 4 2 4 0 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 3 0 4 10 5 0 4 112 0 4 2 111 1 0 0 0 a 0 0 0 0 0 1O10 0 G.Elllott.p 0 0 0 0 1 bLivingstoa 1 0 0 0 0 Barrett, 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 38 0 10 27 11 Totals 34 2 9 27 8 a-Doubled for Hall in 6th. b-riled out for G.

When Dick Esleeck brings his Uni versity of Richmond Spiders into Wilmington Park Saturday night, hell field a veteran backfleld that figures to contain as much talent as the University of Delaware Blue Hens will have to face all year Eight lettermen will be available for action in the Spider backfield, and there's a good chance that sophomore talent may Dush a few of these to the bench. In tailback Cotton Billingsley, the Rebs boast one of the top "ball carriers in the Southern Conference. and a dangerous passer. An All state catcher on the Richmond baseball team, Billingsley is a graduate student, a situation that is ner- missable under Southern Conference rules. At wingback the visitors will have Dick Hensley, another letterman who will be rounding out his third year, as a regular on the Richmond eleven.

A Dre-ministerial student from Martinsburg, Hensley can ao more man spread the good word, and Line Coach Joe Rnlnansfev Tins warned his Delaware linemen that they had better stop Hensley before ne gets into tne secondary.

Weighing only 160 pounds, Bolen nevertheless has had the starting berth all to himself to date, but he's being pressed by two sophomores.

One of them, Billy Farris, is a former AU-American High School player at Woodrow Wilson High in Portsmouth. Esleeck knows what he can do because he coached him in high school. Joe Purinai, is also in the running for the assignment. No less than four lettermen grace the. blocking back spot, a situation that indicates the depth that Esleeck has at his command.

FOWLER TO START AGAINST YANKEES Complaints About A's Using Marchildon Today Causes Mack to Make Substitution By JACK HAND NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (S). Alarm ed by a flood of critical telegrams and fan letters, assistant manager Earle Mack of the Philadelphia A's shifted from Phil Marchildon to Dick Fowler as his starting pitcher against the New York Yankees tomorrow, after today's game was postponed by rain. "They aren't going to point any fingers at us," said Connie Mack's 57-year-old son in the A's clubhouse, "look at all these letters and telegrams. Why they even accuse us of lying down.

"We try to keep these letters from dad who went back to Philadelphia yesterday because of an upset stomach. I think he did see some of them. It's damned nasty terrible stuff." Much of the criticism stemmed from Mack's plans to start Marchildon, who has been troubled by a sore arm air season, in the vital fi nale with the "Yanks." Mr. Mack planned to use Marchildon, who he said was "ready, because he had pitched him against Boston Sept. 2.

The Red Sox knocked him out in a five-run first inning. Marchildon did not pitch an inning from May 30 to Aug. 26. "We don't think of anything ex cept trying to win," said Earle, "If you sat on our bench youd know. I would have given anything to win yesterday's game.

"This is a great game and it's a shame to accuse you of letting another club win a pennant, some of those letters even say weTe not trying because dad gave out a story one day picking the Yanks to win. Never before did we get anything like this. It's terrible stuff." Earle said if Fowler, who was knocked out by the Yanks in the third inning of Tuesday's game, proved ineffective, he would be followed by Carl Scheib, another regular-righthander. "And if Fowler and Scheib can't stop them," he added, "we'll come in with Bobby Shantz, Lou Brissie and Joe Coleman. "Our.

club is mad about those let I wish Marchildon had gone in there today and beat them." Over in the Yankee clubhouse, Manager Casey Stengel heard about the shift to Fowler. Then he said he still would use Lefty Ed Lopat tomorrow, followed by Allie Reynolds and Vic Raschi Saturday and Sunday against the Boston Red Sox. The postponement probably hurt the Yanks most because it means Lopat, who needs three full days of rest to show his real stuff, will not be able to face the Red Sox. Back in a first-place tie with the Sox after last night's Boston loss to Rae Scarborough, the Yanks were eager to play today's game. They had a chance to regain the undis puted lead over the idle Sox.

Joe DiMagglo, recuperating from a virus infection, was unnorm but never got a chance to take his batting practice. Joe, accompanied by his oldest brother, Tom, said he felt "much better." He said he thought he might be able to play Saturday. Baltimore Colts Request Waivers on Warren Beson BALTIMORE, Sept. 29 W.

Former world lightweight champion Beau Jack, winner in 15 of 17 bouts a "comeback" campaign, will give away 10 pounds to Italy's Livio Minelli in their Chicago Stadium bout tomorrow night. Jack will weigh approximately i3f? nounds and the 24-year-old Minelli 146 for their 10-round mix.

Minelli is a second substitute for the bout in, which Jack originally was booked to fight Kid oavuan of Cuba. When Gavilan was slashed in a Harlem scuffle, Johnny Bratton of Chicago was selected to replace him. Because the New York Boxing Managers' Guild contended Bratton was improperly signed by the International Boxing Club, Minelli was lined up as Jack's opponent. The show is the first of 10 to be sponsored at the stadium in the 1949-50 winter season by the I. B.

Tower Hill Meets Sanf ord, Conrad Opposes Salesianum 4 I 1 5 Tower Hill School's 1949 grid opener against Sanf ord Prep on the home field, and the meeting between Salesianum School's gridders and the Conrad Redskins at Wilmington Park are the only contests scheduled today as local schoolboy elevens enter the second week of the current season. Five' games involving teams in the Wilmington area are scheduled' tomorrow, while one game is slated tonight down-state.

The Hillers enter the contest with Sanf ord this afternoon at 3:15 o'clock, with a squad of only 23 players, most of whom are inexperienced. Coach Bob DeGroat lost nine players from last year's team by graduation. Tower bowed to Sanford's powerhouse eleven last season, 40-0, but the Preppers 39-14 loss to Sidwell Friends last week indicates they are considerably below par this year. Defeated 14 to 0 last week by Loyola of Baltimore, the Rev. James V.

O'Neill's Sallies suffered a much greater blow when they possibly lost the services of Vinnie Vicario, captain and star guard, who suffered a damaged knee, for tonight's game with Conrad which is scheduled for 8:45 o'clock. A standout in the game with Loyola, Vicario is not expected to see action tonight. He will be re withdrew to go home. York 2, Washington 1. lwUant, Bogess.
