Butler, completely outclassed in the matter of height, cut loose with blistering speed to leave the brawny Titans flatfooted time after time.

This was enough to allow the locals to withstand some fine long shooting by Charles Buchholz, Detroit guard, in the last half. Loren Joseph, Butler center, played a brilliant game until forced out of action by the personal foul route with slightly more than three minutes of the game, to go. Up to that time he had held Bob Calihan, Detroit's high scoring center, to two field goals. Summary: Detroit (34) FG.

Beggs, who was traded by the New York Yankees for Pitcher Lefty Lee Grissom, hurled a nohit no-run game the first time he stood on the mound in his senior year at high school in Aliquippa, his home town.

But before he tried his hand at pitching Beggs was a catcher. It was the coach of the high school baseball team who first saw the possibility of Beggs becoming 8 pitcher. He noted that Joe, as a catcher, always threw a sinker ball. So he suggested that Beggs switch to the other end of the battery. In fact, Joe's ability as a sinkMgr.

Bill McKechnie agreed to ball pitcher, was the reason trade Grissom for him to the Yankees. The Deacon needs one to round out his pitching, staff. The start of professional career was sensational. He was signed as a catcher by Benny Bengough, the old Yankee catcher, for the Washington team in the Penn State league. Joe left Beaver Falls college in 1934 to hurl the final three weeks of the season for Bengough and he won five straight games.

His next stop was Akron, 8 Yankee farm team bossed by Johnny Neun, former Detroit first baseman. Neun sent Joe to the different games in 1935. He won 15 and lost 14. The following year at Norfolk Beggs was called upon 44 times for mound duty and he won 22 games against only nine losses. was Oscar Vitt, present Cleveland pilot, who managed the ark team when Joe enjoyed his best year in 1937.

Beggs won 21 games that year and lost four. He also won one game against Baltimore in the International league playoffs. In the Little World series of 1937 between Newark and Columbus Beggs was the pitcher who started the Bears on the way to victory after they had lost three in a row. Joe pitched Newark to an 8-1 victory in the fourth game over Fiddler Bill McGee, and also helped pitch his team to their fourth straight win in the seventh and deciding game of the series. Beggs pitched for the Yankees during part of the 1938 season and collected a half-share of the World series dough.

With the money he bought a home in Aliquippa where his wife, a former school teacher, and he now live during the off-season.
