6 everyone concerned had revived the subject today of a mound duel between Bob Feller of Cleveland and Hal Newhouser of Detroit before the baseball season ends. Feller and Newhouser have faced each other four times in the past, and the Detroit lefthander has yet to gain a decision over the Cleveland fire-baller. Bill Veeck is hard at it trying to match the two hurling aces the next time the Tigers visit the Ohio city. If they meet there, Detroit officials want a rematch. Here is how some of the principals have expressed themselves: Newhouser: never beaten Feller and sure like another chance.

If it can be worked out, the game should be played right here. The Detroit fans deserve Feller: I don't remember pitching against Newohuser before the war, but I know I beat him last year. If it will draw the crowd, I hope we meet twice this Manager Steve of Detroit: shooting for second place. If we have that sewed up. I object to a special match.

But prefer to pitch Hal in regular Manager Lou Boudreau of Cleveland: going to pitch Feller Sept. 22. We thought it was all set for Newhouser to pitch, George M. Trautman, Detroit executive vice president: they meet at Cleveland, we certainly want a Newhouser recalled that Feller had beaten him twice before the war. After Bob returned from the navy last summer, he beat Hal and the Tigers August 24 on a four-bitter.

A week later they faced each other again and both were knocked out and figure in the decision.

Athletic accident insurance statistics have made it possible to trace accurately the development and trends in football from a standpoint of injuries and the record proves that the injury rate is going downward. In 1932 there were 90 listed injuries per thousand players, or of the participants in the game were injured in one way or another during the course of the season.

Last year only 28 players in each 1,000 sustained listed injuries. The reduction has heen made as a result of careful analysis of the cause of injuries. A number of changes in the rules have been put into effect which eliminates many of the potentially FLIVVER COACH RESIGNS POST Senators Win 3-2, in Eleventh Washington, Sept. 6.

AT THE ic Wojcihovski Takes Job In Baltimore, Maryland ARCADE ALLEYS Wojcihovski, who returned as athletic director at Kingsford high school several weeks ago after a four-year leave of absence while serving in the Navy, last night was granted a release by the Breitung township board of education to accept a similar position in Baltimore, it has been announced by rank C. Sweeney, superintendent of schools.

The board named Walter Schrader, who served as to Wojcihovski in pre-war years, and who also returned after a leave of absence while serving in the Navy, as head football and basketball coach. Schrader will take over the football team today and his assistants will be named sometime this week. The sudden decision of cihovski followed developments which started a week ago when he was offered the post of athletic director of Mt. St. high in Baltimore.

Wojcihovski made a flying trip to Baltimore over the weekend, returning Monday night. He applied for release at the board meeting this week. Wojcihovski, who signed as football and basketball coach in the fall of 1937, entered the Navy in the spring of 1942. Tim Barry, now superintendent of Vulcan schools, took over the coaching duites upon departure. When Barry accepted the position at Vulcan, Alvin Cummings was appointed his successor and held the position for two years.

Cummings At London Late last spring, when cihovski announced intentions of returning to Kingsford, Cummings relinquished the job. In mid-July he signed a contract at London, high school. He reported at New London a week ago to open football drills and was a visitor here ox er the week-end. Both Wojcihovski and Schrader are natives of Weston, W. and former Notre Dame athletes.

cihovski came to Kingsford in 1937 fresh from Notre Dame where he starred for three years as a blocking back on Elmer Laydon- coached Irish aggregations. During the Wojcihox'ski regime Kingsford, once a doormat for Menominee range football teams, made pronounced advances. Before Wojcihovski arrived, Flivver football teams in 12 years had scored but 18 victories. During the fixe-year stay of Wojcihovski, Kingsford elex ens scored 21 ic- tories and xvhen he left the Flivver football win column had been boosted to 39. Cummings, who gave up the job to make room for return to his former post, turned out the best football and basketball teams in the history of the school.

Popular with fans and students, Cummings built up a large following during his two- i year stay. Schrader came to Kingsford a year after Wojcihovski and served as assistant football and basket! ball coach until he entered the I service shortly after Wojcihovski. i He has also been active in inde- I pendent and junior sports activities of the community and recent! ly was elected commander of the i American Legion Mt. St. Joseph's, where Wojei- hovski will be athletic director, is a parochial school with an enroll- ment of 1,200 boys.

His contract, I it is reported, provides for a con- 1 siderable increase over his salary at Kingsford. dangerous football situations. Improvement in equipment has also made a substantial contribution to the reduction in Better methods of conditioning have been developed and instituted in high school proprams. Football is a body contact sport and it is not possible to eliminate accidents entirely, but the record proves that participation in the game is comparatively safe. Injuries occur more frequently in actual games than they do in scrimmages or drills.

This is natural because coaches do everything they can to protect their valuable talent in practice workouts but the other team quite as salieitous of its welfare and physical well-being under actual same conditions. Practice scrimmages account for only about of all football injuries. Another occur in practice drills, other than scrimmages, and the remaining of the injuries are sustained in actual games. 9 0 Fractures of teeth lead all other types of football injuries, and nose are next in line, The percentage of other types of fractures follow: arm, hand shoulder. leg.

foot, rib, and all others, The offeuse takes the heaviest rap on football injuries, the statistics reveal. Blocking causes 28.5% of football injuries and tackling accounts for another 28.5%, but being tackled results in 24.5% of the total number of injuries while being blocked develops only of the injuries. All other football activity results in the remaining 9.5% of the total Injuries. If a child is interested in playing football, the parents will do well to direct that interest towards participation in school-sponsored programs. This is particularly true with youngsters of junior age because these lads will formulate so-called independent teams if denied permission to play with junior high squads.

The danger of injury in such cases is materially aggravated because these teams are inadequately equipped and the players lack the coaching and conditioning that are factors in reducing injuries. Moreover, there is insurance available for youngsters in school-sponsored programs that is not available for so-called indejymdent teams.

Berry and Jones. BY VICTOR EUBANK New York. Sept 6 The stock market took another turn on the downside today in the week's final session but selling pressure was light throughout and. here and there, resistance xxas in evidence. Brokers attributed further offerings partly to persistent nervousness over the recent shaimest relapse in 16 years, a little bearishncss over the maritime strike and the desire to shorten accounts for protection during the long weekend.

Moderate rallying tendencies prevailed at the start, being an extension of the brisk recovery ol Thursday, but these failed to follow through. By noon losses of 1 to 6 or more points predominated.
