Seven and six have been the rule for many seasons. For the past three campaigns the lineups have unbalanced the competition.

It is doubtful that any come up with two backs their equal In their respective positions. ANOTHER LUMPKINS When Pctsy rates any of his present players he does so against men that he coached on championship professional squads.

As an all-around running back he stacks Parker against Dutch Clark, and as a blocker and defensive back he feels that Manders is another Father Lumpkin. Parker doesn't call signals as well as Clark did for Portsmouth and Detroit, but in all other departments he compares favorably. Last year Parker was named by many aa the be.t quarterback in the National League, and this year he thould make this opinion unanimous ntli the able assistance of Manders. Although the Brooklyn coach made mo.t of his substitutions in team units, he generally had Manders in the lineup when danger loomed ur when a bit of extra offensive punch was needed. Man ders didn't carry the ball once, but he played an important part in the pay-off touchdowns in the second period he, Parker and Perry-Schwartz With the Pirates leading, 7 to 3, the Dodgers shot the works and rvent 80 yards for the winning score A 22-yarri dash by Len Janiak and! a pass from pariter to waaay Young brought the ball to the Pirates' 44-yard line.

Here Parker sent a long pass down the field and Perry Schwartz was the only Brooklyn player of the three who got under it. Davidson thought he had Schwartz blocked out of the play but Perry timed his Jump perfectly, reached over Davidson's thoulders, Juggled the ball as he was falling and finally held it on the ten-yard line. MANDERS CLEARS PATH On the next play Manders cleared a path for Parker, who ran wide around his own right end, broke away from two defensive backs and fell across the goal line. Parker was injured on the play but came back in the fourth period. Bruiser Kinard kicked the point after touchdowns.

Ralph Kercheval gave Brooklyn its first score with a 26-yard field goal in the first period. A long, fast pass from Ernie Wheeler to George Platukis put the Pirates ahead, but Brooklyn followed with Its winning touchdown a few minutes later. A safety In the last quarter completed the scoring, Wheeler fumbling Parker's punt behind his own goal line and Hill bringing him down for the two points. Chick Meehan, former N. Y.

U. end Manhattan coach, thinks Clark has the best Brooklyn team in its history. Some of the boys were a little too anxious, but I couldn't see any particular weakness," said Chick after the game. Gover nor Happy Chandler of KenUicky came on for the game and before It was over Kercheval and snip. WTeck Kelly were Kentucky Colo.

nels. Kelly, incidentally, wasn't there to receive the honor. Joe Ratica, Clark's brush-college tenter, snowed more fire than any player on the field. Joe suffered an injured knee in the third period. Coach Johnny Blood of Pittsburgh, who is rebuilding this year, has only ten experienced men on his squad.

He has a good strong line, and he has two newcomers that will help Wheeler and 6am Bovd, an end from Johnny drew Sid Luckman and Pug Manders in the draft last Winter, but previous committments by Owner Art Rooney sent Luckman to the Bears and Manders to Brooklyn.

SHAPIRO IN CO-FEATURE In a companion eight Maxie Shapiro, latest Hebrew lightweight sensation, who has been stealing Al Davis' thunder, takes on Harry Gentle, Brooklyn Italian. Shapiro is undefeated as a pro and has scored 17 knockouts in 32 starts. Beauhuld appeared to be one of the outstanding youngsters in the lightweight division until he tangled with Henry Armstrong.

N. Sept. 15 V-The enigma of big-time tennis, Gilbert Hunt faced one of his favorite situations today in the quarter-finals of the National championships at Forest Hills.

His deep-set eves were gleaming even a little brighter than usual, for he was paired against Bromwich, champion of Australia. Not many players look forward to a session with the ambidextrous Aussie He can keep a ball in play practically forever. But Hunt, a moody unpredictable fellow from Washington, D. is never completely happy unless he's knocking off one of the big shots. Strictly on a hunch, some other- wise sane observers were backing him to beat Bromwich, though their respective world rankings and common sense insisted Hunt didn't have a chance.

Hunt's supporters only know that their man on a given day is capable of playing some of the greatest tennis ever seen. ACCOMPLISHES IMPOSSIBLE Last year he blasted Bobby Rlggs out of the tournament, and two days ago he hung a (i 1, 6 1, 6 1 beating around Frankie Parker's neck. After all these were our two Davis Cup singles players a fortnight ago at Merlon. Hunt, of course, considered for the team, and he was seeded tenth among the domestic players at Forest Hills. He has no business being in the quarter-finals but there he is.

Hunt is somewhat less eccentric this year than he vas last. For one thing, he's using a regular stock racket, Just like the other players. Last year, when he upset Riggs, he was swinging an ancient bat that he had loaded with lead foil until It lifted like an anvil. GAME MUCH IMPROVED His game Is improved, despite the limited competition he has had. In the fore court he has perhaps the most beautiful touch of any player in the game, and once he gets his nose hung over the net he's practically unbeatable.

Prior to this match. Don McNeill of Oklahoma City and Joe Hunt of Annapolis were scheduled to clear up some unfinished business. When they were blacked out last night Hunt had won two great sets, 6 4 and 15 13, and they were firing away at 55 in the third. The day's other men's match brought together tne "upset kids," Welby Van Horn of Los Angeles, who knocked Elwood Cooke out of the tournament, and Wayne Sabin of Portland, who played a similar trick on Adrian Quist of Australia two days ago.

Connie Mack, the 76-year-old manager of the A's, is the Mr. Rig of the front office. He has been his club's one and only manager since the American League was organized In 1900 and probably will carry on. But if he does so It probably also will be against the judgment of the physicians who attended him throughout his long Illness this year. Stengel, Bill Terry of the Giants and Bill McKechnle of the Reds are the only National League managers actually signed for the 1940 season, but there are few other positions in doubt.

In their first 29 games played at night the Bushwieks won 17, lost 11 and tied one, an average of .607.

On Sunday the Bushwieks have a double-header with one of the finest clubs in Negro baseball, the Philadelphia Stars. The Bay Parkways, challenging the Bushwieks for the M. B. A. lead, will meet the Union City Reds in two games at Erasmus Field Sunday.

The Jersey club should make it interesting for Harry Hesse's athletes as it has enjoyed considerable success against the Bushwieks this season. HITTING DUEL ON TAP A hitting duel between Johnny LaBarbara, slugging star of the Union City team, and Pete Gray, Parkways' one-armed wonder, is expected to highlight the twin bill. LaBarbara, a Port of Authority policeman In the Holland Tunnel, is the king of white semi-pro distance Gray, a superb defensive center fielder, has hit .395 in 18 games for the Parkways. Manager Hesse will have Abe SdHo and Joe Strvker ready to pitch against Union City. SplrO has won "is last seven Starts.

1 isn't a possibility that Larry Mac-Phail has another manager in mind for '40. Ray Blades, director of the Cardinals on the field, may or may not pilot St. Louis into a world series, but the Redbirds, under Blades, have risen from sixth place to a contending spot And that should satisfy even the uncommonly critical Messrs. Breadon and Rickey. The Phillies are locked In the National League cellar but that was universally predicted and nobody blames Doc Prothro.

If Prothro doesn't manage the Quakers again next season It will be because he doesn't want the job. That leaves Chicago and Pittsburgh doubtful spots. The Cubs, last year's winners after Gabby Hartnett replaced Grimm in July, seem slated to finish third this year. All things ronsidered, that spot Is not much out of line.

leap winner last season and without much help from Dizzy Dean, the Cubs really hadn't the pitching to do much better than third. Most of the rumors involving Hartnett's insecurity are based upon the widespread report that P. K. Wrigley was never very strong for Gabby in the beginning. However, the possibility that Hartnett will carry on is enhanced by the fact that no individual is prominently mentioned as his successor.

In Pittsburgh, the wolves are howling on Traynor's trail as the veteran Pirates fade into the second division. But the feeling is that Pie will continue to boss the Pirates unless he resigns. He stands aces high with Bill Ben-swanger, the president of the club. Summing up, it may be that there will be no managerial changes at all in the major leagues for 1940, which would be some kind of record, with the Brooklyn fans. He figures; to provide Rudy with more mat.

AnJEID)iU(CT i iti a kin By TOMMY HOLMES This fiscal baseball year is rather unique in that the 16 men who held big league managing jobs at the start of the season are still at their respective helms, doing the best they can, as the baseball drama moves toward the close of the third act. That's In marked contrast to last Summer when the heads of Charley Grimm of the Cubs, Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals, Mirkey Cochrane of the Tigers and Gabby Street of the Browns rolled into the basket within the space of a few weeks.

As a matter of fact, there will be remarkably few. If any, changes after the season closes. The other day, Bob Quinn, the president of the Boston Bees, signed our old friend, Casey Stengel, to a 1940 contract and that calls attention to the fact that a number of field marshals already have been fixed up for next year.
