28. The New Orleans Pelicans scorned a league-leading batter and lost the second game of the Atlanta series, 5 to 3, tonight. mt i a a coach and now on leave of absence as head coach at South Carolina. The Skycrackers were slated to meet Tech on Oct. 13 at Grant Field.

Athletic Director W. A. Alexander could not be contacted yesterday afternoon, but Head Coach Bobby Dodd said an effort will be made to schedule a suitable opponent for that date. ing if he were wearing a baseball glove or boxing gloves. In Atlanta, you see, Winfield went out to try to stop the Crackers the night they had their seven-run seventh inning against New Orleans, and before the inning was over, Winfield not only was knocked out of the box.

but he was practically knocked off the bench. Seems it was one of those things. Anyone who thinks there isn't spirit in baseball any more, need only be reminded that Winfield's failure to carry out his assignment properly caused him a bit of physical as well as mental ab.h.po.a. IBKLYN. ab.h.po.a.

Jvi U. coach and athletic director, told The Constitution by long-distance telephone that he had notified all teams on the Skycrackers' schedule that it would be impossible to have a team this season. "We had planned to form a football team composed entirely of cadets, but due to the expected cutback in the training program here, we do not believe we would have enough available material to play oil our games," Commander Bell said.

Under conditions, the Navy did not consider advisable to even start the season, so opponents were notified they were free to fill the dates set aside for the Skycrackers. Two Southeastern conference schools were on the schedule, Georgia Tech and Tennessee. There was also a game slated with Presbyterian College, but the rest were with service teams. In all, there was an 8 game card for '45. Lt.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 28 A home run by Shortstop Eddie Miller broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning here tonight and gave the Cincinnati Reds a 3-2 win over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals. REDS 3, CARDS 2. St.

Sandlot Grid Meet Final meeting of the boys' sand-lot football leagues will be held tonight at 8 o'clock at the Capitol Homes community center, it was announced yesterday. Only a Few Left NOW anguish.

Fans in Ponce de Leon that last Tuesday night of the New Orleans series will recall that there was a disturbance on the New Orleans bench. A lot of fans, hoping to see what was going on, didn't see Atlanta score the winning run. At any rate, Winfield apparently had crossed up the catcher on a couple of pitches. He had thrown a ball to Bob Reid's strength against instructions and, generally, had played into the Crackers' hands. It so incensed the fine Pelican skipper.

Fresco Thompson, that in the heat of the moment, after wagging his finger at Winfred vigorously, he inadvertently cut loose with a punch. It landed and there were a few moments of confusion, if not conflict. Winfield didn't stop the Crackers again last night. But he made the best effort he could. Skipper Thompson practically patted him on the back as he left the mound.

So, you see, peace also has returned to the Pelicans. TTmieual Domanri walking out on the Crackers, Outfielder UUUUU wciuauu Cornelius Creeden had demanded something that wan impossible for the club to grant. Creeden had demanded a bonus. He wanted his share of the pennant money before the Crackers had won the championship. He already was in the club's debt, and had drawn his full season's pay.

It was not possible to give him the championship split because the money won't be sent to Manager Ki Ki Cuyler by President Billy Evans until after the Crackers officially have captured the flag. When the money is sent the players then meet and decide how they want it divided. They still must vote on Creeden's share. In refusing to play Monday night and then leaving the club, Creeden caused President Earl Mann to put him on the ineligible List of baseball. Creeden didn't leave the Crackers in too bad a spot, however, as LeGrant Scott carried on handsomely with five hits In six times up.

Scott was going to play In Creeden's place when he left to take his coaching job in early September. Cracker players, however, were incensed that Creeden would sit in the stands while they were fighting for the Southern League pennant against an obstinate New Orleans team. Creeden left the St. Charles hotel, Cracker headquarters here, and presumably returned to Atlanta for his belongings. v0 Racf Sometimes things happen for the better in the 1 01 Uie ceil cases of ball piayers leaving a club.

We'll always believe that the action of Dick Mauney in returning home, without notice, paved the way for a Cracker pennant. The Crackers got Wes Hamner in a deal with Philadelphia. They also came up with Marshall Scott and there were other changes that made a whale of a difference. For instance, after Mauney's departure the Crackers got Creeden. Orde-nana and Chuck Kearney.

All the changes spelled pennant. If Mauney had stayed the Crackers might not have been as strong as they are. Creeden helped the club plenty. There is no doubt about that. But so have Ted Cieslak and Lew Carpenter and all the others, and they are still helping.

It is Just fortunate for the Crackers that they have a replacement like LeGrant Scott for the outfield. Scott will hit enough to keep the home fires burning. He also is useful for relief pitching, if needed. Appears now that Scott won't be needed much in a pitching role. For, while he didn't stop the Pels in relief last night, Forrest Thompson has plenty of stuff, Manager Cuyler says.

Thompson is a fireball lefthander. The Crackers aren't far away from clinching a pennant. 10 95 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 28.

(JP Too many home run balls from St. Louis pitchers and too many strikeout pitches from Lefty Hal Newhouser spelled defeat for the St. Louis Browns tonight as the Detroit Tigers took the first of a two-game series, 10 to 1.

He had tripled the inning before. Strategy dictated that Scott be walked to load the bases. Up came Ted Cieslak, the Southern League's top swatsmith, and Cieslak scored the deciding runs with a single. The win increased the Crackers' lead to nine games' over Chattanooga's Lookouts, who dropped a 6-to-4 decision to Mobile, their second in a row.

SCOTT WINS HIS FOURTH Marshall Scott, Cracker southpaw, pitched steadily for his fourth victory. Trader Horn, Pel righthander, retired for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Al Breide finished. The Crackers were really troublesome in only two innings. They scored three runs in the third and the deciding runs in the fourth.

The Pels tallied twice in the second and once in the eighth. A rally in the eighth was nipped in the bud by a Cracker double play. It is now up to the Pelicans to face league leading pitcher, Lew Carpenter, who has set a Southern league record with 21 wins and onlv two losses. Manager Fresco Thompson was undecided as to the Ditcher he would send out against Carpenter. SPOT TWO RUNS, STILL WIN There was nothing cut and dried about tonight's contest.

The poten tial champions from Atlanta spotted the Pelicans two runs and then racked them up in another alley. Timely hitting and stout fielding put the Crackers on top. The Crackers spotted the Pelicans two runs in the second Inning. Astbury. leading off with a single, stole second and scored on ruglfs double.

Carrolla sacrl-fled. Fugit got home on Hughes' fielder's choice. In the third the leaguer leaders romped Into the lead. Garmendia singled. There was a slight pause for Gearharfs infield out.

9cott then slammed a triple to the fence in right. Cieslak filed to short center for the second out. Reid, however, belted a double to right, seoring Scott. Then Hower slashed a single into right, sending Reid across the plate. The Crackers kept after Horn and scored two more runs In the fourth.

With one away Pitcher Scott singled. Garmendia struck out Gearhart doubled and Le-grant Scott was given an Intentional walk. The strategy called for pitching to league-leading batter Cieslak. Cieslak hit a hard single into centerfield. sending two runners home.

That gave the league-leaders a lead of 5 to 2. When the Pelicans threatened in the seventh the Crackers killed the rally with a double play. Horn led off with a single and Skelton also singled after Rue grounded out. Sanchez bounced a grounder to Hamner. The Cracker second baseman tossed the ball to Ordenana and Ordenana threw to Reid for the twin killing.

The Pels rallied In the eighth. Asl-H bury led off with a single. Fugit popped to short. Carrolla and Hughes put sin gles together and Astbury proceeded home. Suter batted for Merineau and drew a base on balls.
