Today it developed that Francis J. (Bots) Nekola, former New York Yankee and Toronto Maple Leaf pitcher, was the sanitation department's hurler. Nekola and 15 other ball players were taken into the department in a body in the Spring of 1939 at 51.000-a-year salaries. There were many other applicants for the jobs and a city council committee is investigating the circumstances under which the athletes were preferred.

Emll K. Ellis, committee counsel, questioned the witnesses today, with Nekola first on the list. "What did you do on the barges' Ellis wondered out loud. We spliced ropes, threw ropes to tugs," Nekola said. "And you'll be pleased to know that I shovelled Answers While on the barge, Nekola said he answered a call for the ball team.

"You had no doubts about your ability to make the team?" Ellis asked. "Well, a player changes from year to year." was the answer. Alfred E. Cuccinello, sanitation second baseman used to play, too, for New York Giants, Nashville, Columbus, Rochester, Houston was next "Did you have any previous experience as a scowman?" he was asked. ami NEW YORK, Oct 9 Lou Ambers, former world lightweight champion, la corn-ins back to the wan thai month with an Invasion of the welterweight division.

Bill Cowley, a star of the first rank, and Gordle Brace, picked from the minors for an N.HX. trial, are the ethers going from here to Hershey.

That's both ends of the scale. Should Bruce get a call it would mean Bruins would be up with Detroit -for Capital color. The Red Whigs have Kennle Kilrea, Connie Brown and Ebbie Goodfellow, who will likely do more playing than coaching on that somewhat vague offer announced by Jack Adams. Hec Kilrea could be back with Detroit too, as he was at the start of last season. Next In line for hometown interest -are Canadiens and Rangers.

The scoring efforts of Bill Fitzgerald alone were enough to beat the Burrards, the shifty wingman rapping in six goals to lead the Athletics In their surprising comeback. Spark Urquhart and Punk Morton each scored a brace of tallies for the winners. Bun Barnard, Frank Madsen, Joe Cheev-era, Wandy McMahon and Gus Madsen getting one each to complete the St Catharines' toUL Tops Western Scorers.

Johnny McDonald, the lean, long rover of Burrards, led his team in scoring when he rapped in goals in the opening minute of the first and second quarters. Both tallies resulted from brilliant lone sorties by the gangling McDonald. Don Matheson, Roy Cavallin and Pat Theal accounted for the other Vancouver tallies. A crowd of 6,603 watched the game which lacked the tenseness of the first contest St. Catharines outpassed their rivals and scored most of their tallies from close in.

On the other hand, Burrards' team work lacked the sureness displayed in the series opener and their the wartime Harringay Greyhounds, of London He worked in an aircraft factory and, of the hockey, relates that regulations against crowds cut the total attendance allowed from 9,000 to 3,000. Steel Workers Out With Tigers HAMILTON, Oct. 9. (CP) A couple of. husky steel workers may be added to the roster of Hamilton Tigers of the Interprovinclal Rugby Union in an effort to strengthen the club.

The newcomers are Richard Baker and Leslie Dahl and they showed plenty of speed as Coach Art Massucci tried tbem out tonight at quarterback and on the line. Massucci has been hard at work ironing out rough spots since the Tigers took a beating from Ottawa Rough Riders in the season's opener here last Saturday. He's satisfied' that Tigers will give a much better account of themselves in their game at Toronto this Saturday against Argonauts. Special nose guards, called "birdcages" by the players, have been ordered and will be available for use against Argos. Players said that the specially-constructed devices look somewhat like a "Sherlock Holmes The "birdcages -will be worn against Sarnia Battery here Saturday by Art Cousins and Red Boles, of the Hamilton Alerts, who suffered fractured noses in their losing Ontario Rugby Football Union battle with Toronto Balmy Beach last Saturday.

9. Knuckle-bailer Steve Peek, who won 15 of his last 16 games for the Bears during the regular sea son, set Louisville's Colonels down with six hits while Newark teammates pounded starter Char lie Wagner and Forrest (Tot) Pressnell for 10 to capture the 1940 Little World Series in the sixth game here tonight by a 6 score before 4,500 chilled fans in Ruppert Stadium. The Bears, who became finalists in the International League play offs by whipping Jersey City and Baltimore Orioles, won the Minor League baseball classic four games to two. The Colonels, who won the 1939 Little World Series, took the third and fifth games of the series, all on the hurling of Tex Hughson. It marked the third time New ark has won the aeries, taking tht classic in 1932 and 1937.

The In ternatlonal League now has won the annual series 10 times to the American Association's 12. Fourth In League. Louisville, a poor fourth in the Association, first defeated Columbus and then upset the first-place Kansas City Blues, like the Bears a New York Yankee farm club. Tonight's game started off as a pitcher's duel between Peek and Wagner who went into the game with a 12-game winning streak. A three-run blast in the seventh inning clinched the game for Newark.

With two men on base, Tommy Holms tripled into deep right-centre and then scored as Sherlock threw wild to third on the relay from the outfield. Alex Kampouris, who clouted four home runs in the series, followed with a triple down the third base line, but was stranded there. AU in all Peek, faced only 30 men, struck out five and walked two. The crowd was the smallest of the series as chilly weather prevailed. R.

Ranger. Rod Fraser, of Renfrew, and representing O.R.D.A. district No. 1, along with Frank Ast-ley, spoke at the dinner which followed the play. Rough Riders toiled long and strenuously under the lights last night in preparation for their first home engagement with Montreal on Saturday.

Ross Trimble had a complete squad on hand with the exception of Stan O'Neill, who suffered an aggravation of his leg injury at Hamilton. O'Neill was hurt in one of the closing plays in the game with Tigers and may not be able to take his place against Montreal. Trimble worked on pass attack and defence for a solid hour before shooting his troops through a rugged scrimmage session. Orville Burke, Tony Golab and Murray Griffin took turns at the pitching and while under plenty of pressure from the defensive side un corked some smart short and long passes. The coach equipped the team with a couple of new plays and it has now a pretty full assortment of aerials, plunges and running plays.

The squad contains the material for any type of attack and should prove to be, before the halfway mark on the schedule is reached, as versatile an outfit as Ottawa has shown in Big Four circles. Tony McCarthy had a field day snaring forwards. One brilliant catch that Rough Riders' fine end made drew a hand of applause from the standees on the side line. Ernie Leidlaw, for many years manager of Toronto Argonauts, was a visitor at the practice. He represented his firm in London, England, during the past nine years and is now located here, Herve Pilon continues showiitg good form at inside wing.

Pilon is a most unselfish worker and has thoroughly mastered all the duties of the guard position. Bert Kalgh may net dress Saturday. Be had a bad shoulder previous to the Tiger engagement and a worse one after a flying tackle In the last period of that game. He had X-rays taken of It yesterday. The ceremony associated with Rough Rider opening games will be staged on Saturday.
