But Doesn't Know Score For Pro Football's Battle of Half Century Bv JOHN WEIJSTKK By ALLEN LEWIS The New York Yankees continued to score their runs in bunches yesterday and thereby earned a split with the Boston Red Sox.

EARLE NEALE played Charities in the 1950 schedule of the reprocessed National League, and Inquirer is cooperating in staging it. "There's no wav of telline who'll win it.

No way of predicting a score." explained the Eagles' headmaster. "There are no common opponents we've never played a team that met with Browns. There's no basis for comparison. "The Browns won their league's championship four vears. A team must be good to do that.

Also, the Browns had to turn over more than 40 players to weaker members of their league. I know Paul Brown (Cleveland's coach-general manager) still has a strong team, and he's not fooling me if he savs he hasn't. "You couldn't make anybody from Ohio believe the Eagles can beyt their Browns. In Philadelphia, it's just the reverse. But nobody really knows anything about it.

I know all our Eagles are eagerly awaiting the night of Sept. 16 to find out who's got the better team!" The Q. and A. session began with Bob Geasey, the personable chairman, planting Neale at a table in the front of the room, sitting down so none of these questions will floor you." Right off. a demure damsel in the back of the room demanded to know how the famed gridiron mentor ever got a nickname like Greasy.

1 tin. Beat rs Phils, 7-5, as Rally Fizzles Mixup on Bases Checks Fl areup By STAN BAUMGARTNER It took a great catch by Carl Fu-rillo and misinterpretation of an umpire's decision to defeat the Phillies yesterday, 7-5, as the Brooklyn Dodgers won the second game of the series before 8450 at Shibe Park. The catch, the decision and the resultant mixup came in the last half of the ninth and sent the fans home talking to themselves, wondering what hat really happened and bewailing the luck of the PhilHes. Going into the last half of the ninth, the Phillies trailed the Flat-bushers, 7-5, and appeared on the way to a quiet defeat. GOLlAT SMASHES SINGLE But Mike Goliat, who had gone hitless in three previous trips to bat, raised the fans' hopes with a sizzling smash to centerfield for a single.

Andy Seminick followed with a vicious, curving drive to right that looked like a sure two-base hit. But Furillo, the Dodgers' fleet outfielder, ran like the wind, stuck out his gloved hand and speared the ball. He ran a few steps and then dropped the ball and thereafter was confusion. As the writer saw it, Lon Warneke, who was umpiring at first, waved Seminick out, but did so with a swish of his arm toward second, instead of in the usual manner to the right. Goliat, when he saw Furillo drop the ball, raced for second, butj was out on a perfect relay from Fu rillo to Jackie Robinson to Pee Wee Reese.

LOPATA'S HIT WASTED Thus, what looked like a two-bagger turned into a disastrous double play. Pinch Hitter Stan Lo-pata's single to left, which followed, would have scored the tying runs, but was merely a lost hit when Richie Ashburn hit to Clarence Pod-bielan for the final out. "I called Seminick out because Furillo held the ball long enough for the catch and dropped it only when he started to throw," said Warneke after the game. "Goliat ran at his own risk." Eddie Sawyer, manager of the Phillies, said he would make no protest. "It is a question of the umpire's judgment and no protest can be based on a judgment," he explained.

DISAPPOINTING END It was a disappointing denouement, however, to a game in which the Phillies jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first inning on some solid thumping and one in which they held a 4-2 advantage going into the fourth frame. In that inning, the Flatbushers tore into starting hurler Russ Meyer for three runs to take the lead and then knocked him out of the box in the sixth to go in front, 6-4. Willie Jones made it 6-5 with a homer in the eighth. The Brooklyn victory evened the series at one game each. Meyer suf fered his first defeat since the middle of last year.

The colorful righthander with the tantalizing screw ball won eight in a row at the finish of the 1949 season. Yesterday he had little with which to fool the Flatbushers. They start ed out on him in the first frame and kept up their bombardment, making eleven hits, including a home run and three two-baggers in five and two-thirds innings. Blix Donnelly, who relieved him, allowed only one safety in one and one-third frames. Jim Konstanty pitched the final two stanzas, being nicked for a home run.

FOUR HITS FOR HODGES Furillo, in addition to saving the Dodgers hide with his spectacular catch, also contributed the home run the fourth with a man on base that tied the score. The real hitting giant of the Brooks, however, was Gil Hodges, who made four safeties in four times at bat, including two two-baggers and a home run. Podbielan, young Dodgers right hander, did a fine job. The Phils went after him as if they would send him fffs mates conn iDuiea to nis emoar- Continued on Page 34.

El Paso club owner Jack Corbett today said his suspension from baseball "was all a mistake" and so was the $1000 fine slapped on his George M. Trautman of the National Associ itim of Professional Baseball Leagues, today announced the suspension of Corbett for conduct detrimental to baseball.

This conduct was defiance of association rules. Corbett last night used in a Arizona-Texas League game Ventura Morales, a player whose El Paso contract Trautman had voided because he said Morales still had contractual obligations to the Mexican league. "It's all a mistake." said Corbett of the fine and suspension. "I completed purchase of Morales yesterday at 9:30 A. M.

from the Aguila club at Vera Cruz. Mexico, hours before Morales with El Paso." Dodge i I box to tneir triumph oeiore 25.425, but it was the Yankee bats which boomed in the afternoon before 32,360. The Bombers, who overcame a 9-0 deficit on opening day and triumphed when they tallied nine runs in the eighth, exploded in the same inning again yesterday. The total of 58,285 paid was a one-day record for Boston. TRADERS RUIN GIANTS The National League's big winter traie exploded in Leo Durocher's face at the Polo Grounds.

Three ex-New York Giants Sid Gordon, Wil-lard Marshall and Buddy Kerr drove in eight runs as the Boston Braves downed the Giants, 10-6. The Pittsburgh Pirates took advantage of two fifth-inning errors by third baseman Eddie Kazak to defeat the Cards, 4-3, in a night game at St. Louis. Lefty Cliff Chambers held the Cards to six hits, cne more than the Bucs got against Red Munger and Ken Johnson. The surprising St.

Louis got their second route-going pitching job and again beat the White Sox, 6-1, at Chicago. Dick Starr allowed the Chisox only five hits as the Browns backed him up with three homers. Two of the American League's 20-game winners of 1949 were blasted at Boston. The Red Sox pounded 21-game winner Vic Raschi for six runs in four innings in the morning and the Yanks tallied eight runs against 23-game winner Ellis Kinder in five and one-third innings in the afterpiece. WILLIAMS BELTS HOMER In the opener, Johnny Pesky scored one of the Sox' two runs in the first inning, then rode home on Williams' first homer of the season in the third.

The Sox added two more in the fourth on two singles and three straight walks. Meanwhile, Dobson had not allowed a hit. But Yogi'Berra broke the ice with a single in the fifth, and the Yanks scored twice. Then Berra's double drove home another tally in the sixth. The 33-year-old Dobson held the Yanks to one hit thereafter.

The Red Sox clipped Ed Lopat for three runs in the first inning of the second game, but Tommy Henrich. who batted in six runs, tied the score with a three-run homer in the third. The Yanks took a 9-4 lead before the Bosox capitalized on Lopat's wildness to score three in the seventh. Reliefer Joe Page put out the fire and then relaxed as the Yanks tallied their seven runs in the eighth. YANKS' BIG FRAME In the frame, 12 men batted.

Five walked and four hit safely. Helping Henrich on the attack was Joe DiMaggio, who drove home three runs with three hits in six trips.

The Harlem Globetrotters clowned their way to a 77-64 victory over the College All-Stars in the final game of the 18-game cross-country basketball series at Uline Arena tonight before 7398.

The series stood at 11-7 in favor of the Harlemites. Don Rehfelt and 3ob Cousy were high tonight for the Ail-Americans with 16 and 13 points, respectively.

DOUBLE PLAYS AID A'S With the aid of two double plays, the righthander kept the Nationals in check. After a running catch by Barney McCosky had deprived Mickey Grasso of a home run and Bob Dillinger threw out Sid Hudson in the sixth, the Nats scored. Gil Coan beat out a bunt down the third-base line. Sam Dente out-raced a hit to short and Irv Noren connected solidly to right-center for; the Senators' lone run. But the A's had clinched the decision.

They scored three in the third inning. One down, Eddie Joost the batting hero drew a pass, McCosk connected to right and Elmer Val sizzled past short. With one Ferris Fain walked to fill the sacks, and Dillinger took a pitched ball ori the finger-tips to force in another. A pass to Sam Chapman pushed home the third Mack tally. HOMER.

DOUBLE FOR JOOST After the Nationals had recorded their run in the sixth, the freewheeling Joost immediately recouped. The shortstop banged hi first homer of 1950 into the left-center bleachers. In the next frame, with one out and two on following a single by Joe Tipton and a life for Bob Hooper on Dente's error, Joost doubled down the left line for the fifth run. The sixth stemmed from a right-center triple by Dillinger and a smash to left by Chapman with oti gone in the ninth. HOOPER CALLED IX Wyse was supreme until the seventh, when he walked Eddie Stewart and missed the plate twice on Ed Yost.

The A's called upon Hooper, and the ex-Buffalo ace, after completing the task of walking Yost, filled the sacks with two out by issuing another walk before retiring the side. Hooper also passed two with on gone in the eighth, only to leave? both runners frustrated.

The Pincher, owned by Henry Hecht, of Baltimore, stamped himself as one of the country's foremost sprinters by dashing off with the $7500 Philadelphia Handicap by three lengths today before 8807. In winning his second straight race ir two tries this year, The Pincher, a 4-year-old son of Heli-polis, sped the six furlongs in 1:10 25. only a fifth of a second slower than the track record shared by Pep Well and Maud Lea.

Closest to The Pincher at the end of the swift trip was W. P. Taylor Magnet, wheih was another two lengths In front of Greentree Stable's Wine List. Seven contested the midweek stakes attraction. The Pincher, trained by George Mohr, was favored and paid $4.80, $3.20 and $2.20 across the board.

Fusari Victor fWr farkidn By MORT BERRY Charley Fusari encountered sur-nri-insly strong- opposition when the Irvington N.

159-pounder gained! a 10-round unanimous decision over; Joey Carkido. H6. Youngstown, la.st night at the Arena. Thn majority of promoter Harry Steinman's 2692 paying niests, who contributed a of $7837, came prepared to see Fusari bring about a hasty finish with r'ehts to the head, Instead they bore witness to a bout in which Fusari punched almost ex-clusivelv to the body. The few rights Fusari aimed at a bobbing, weaving head target either missed or failed to bother Carkido.

And on only a few occasions was the lofty Fusari able to hurt his unseeded rival. One of the occasions came in the third when a right to the body caused Joey to lose his balance. As he stumbled toward the ropes, Carkido grabbed Fusari and together they toppled to the floor. DIVERSE JUDGING In the balloting. Judge Zach Clayton favored Fusari, 7-3; Judge Lew Tress preferred Fusari on a 6-4 round basis and Referee Dave Beloff gave every round to the victor.

The referee's margin puzzled a ringsider, who scored the contest 6-2-2, in view of the fact Carkido landed left hooks without being struck in return during" the first round. Moreover, Carkido never had trouble landing the left hook at any point in a fight that was to serve Fusari as 'a tuneup for his May 12 Madison Square Garden assignment against Paddy Young, a middleweight with a good left hook. However, Carkido's hook lacked the potency to damage a bigger, stronger opponent. Fusari gained control at mid-bout and then, against a slowing rival, raised his fire above the strike zone to open a cut under Carkido's right eye. DAMAGE NOT SERIOUS The damage which occurred in the seventh round was slight, and after a mild attempt to enlarge the cut with a left jab, Fusari resumed his body punching routine.

He found Carkido still willing to punch back in the last round. Percy Bassett, 132. Philadelphia, decisioned Proctor Heinhold, 130, Oklahoma City, in the eight-round semi-windup. For seven rounds, fans chided Percy for his apparent inability to hurt Proctor. Then, when Percy started the eighth as though enroute to a knockout, the crowd pleaded with the hometowner to spare his foe.

Aside from losing the fight, Heinhold suffered a badly puffed right ear. SPICER BATTERS ZADELL Charley Spicer, 148, Philadelphia, battered an oak tree known as Rudy Zadell, 151, Pittsburgh, to pulp in an eight -rounder. Referee Pete Pan-I teleo penalized Spicer the second round for firing low blows. There- after Spicer directed his brutal as-i sault to the head of Zadell. By mid- hnnt ihp rmlv lrns nvpr Zadell's chance to last the limit.

He did better. Rudy never lost his feet even though he wobbled often. Randy Ingram, 155, decisioned Ernie Gennelli, 155, a fellow Philadelphia in a six-rounder that followed the windup. Harry Hall, 147, outfought Young Roundtree, 144'i, in an all-Philadelphia four-rounder. Arsenal Team Rolls 2325 in ABC Test COLUMBUS, April 19.

Since I was mapping out the plays, naturally I had to learn more about football than if I'd just been a player." Though Neale was coach-captain-end.

he admits he didn't know how to kick a football until the high school came up with a basketball coach. Bo Cooley, from Purdue. The court mentor showed Greasy how it should be done, and "from the 30 yards I been punting, I was soon getting off long spirals." Much of the Eagles success was attributed by the coach to successful building operations, which began in 1941; the development of the players drafted, and the fact the Eagles always sought 1o draft the men who would aid the team. "For instance, we took Muha, our fullback, and passed up Tulsa's Glenn Dobbs, who was a great passer. We didn't need a passer.

We had a better one Tommy Thompson." Yet a large part of the NFL champions' success must be attributed to the team's competitive spirit, added Greasy. He's determined to have that quality in any players who may be added to the Eagles' current strength. "Take Al Wistert. our captain. He thinks 10 times more of the Eagles than he did of his college team.

And he was an Ail-American at Michigan. But this is his home and his team." Greasy hasn't, he said firmly in reply to a direct question, any thought of retiring. In fact, he scoffs at the statement of Steve Van Buren, the Eagles' champion ground-gainer, who has said he will bow out after another season. "He says," snorted Neale, "that it's gettin' too rough for him. So I say to him, Tf it's rough for you, what do you think it is for those guys playing against but Latin arid alaebra em.

Unruh also said that he knows of no offers made to any other players and that he had nqt told coach Forrest Anderson or any Bradley official or tourney official what he told the banquet audience. He said that although he assumed the man was "a bookie," he might have been a prankster.

Arthur Bergstrom, Bradley athletic director, said Unruh never had mentioned any bribe offer until he talked with him today, "but he should have done so at once, and I'm sorry he didn't," Bergstrom said Unruh, son of a Baptist minister, "is the kind of kid who would just laugh off a thing like that and never realise the 'My 66 Years In the Big Leagues' By Connie Mack Mathewson, Collins, Cobb Earn Praise as 'Greatest' IS College BASEBALL E5TIRN INTERCOLLEGIATE LEAGI'K PfDB 4 Naty OTHER GAMES V.

Paul Unruh, All-American Bradley basketball player, said today he received a bribe offer in New York last month during the National Invitational tournament. He said an unidentified man asked if he would like to "make some easy money." He brushed off the fellow and didn't think it was important, he added. Unruh. scoring ace on the team, first mentioned the bribe ofler in a speech at a church dartball dinner in nearby Pekin, 111., last night. He said the man offered to pay $100 if Bradley won a game by six points and $500 if it won by two points in any tournament game.

Unruh also told his audience, "It goes without saying that I turned down the money." He concluded, "A very bad situation exists there (in New York) when it comes to gambling." Unruh today confirmed he made the statements but said he had assumed he was not speaking for Chapter 26 DJWN through the years I have been asked on many occasions ta make a selection of those players whom I considered would make the Teatest baseball team of all time. I realize that in compiling such a selection probably no two big league managers would name the same players. In the following list, which have made as my choice of the greatest team of all time, I have endeavored to give my reasons for having selected each one. CANDIDATES FOR MY ALL-TIME TEAM Pitchers Christy Mathewson: The greatest pitcher who ever lived. He shut out our club three straight games in the 1905 World Series.
