Just a few days ago he took swipe at Chico Fernandez, the chipper, proud shortstop peddled to the Phils by the Dodgers last year. "He hasn't shown me a thing," said Sawyer, the pennant skipper of 1950 who returned as Phils' manager July 22.

If Chico hasn't shown Sawyer anything since then, Sawyer just hasn't been looking. Sunday, the day after Sawyer's dig, the Phils lost a double-header to Cincinnati, but Chico was 5-for-8 and drove in a run.

"We've got one man who will be watching in "civilian clothes tonight," Shorty said, but that's left halfback Eddie Tiller, first string left half last year and a lad the Raiders need badly. Shorty has expressed himself on the Eagles little.

"I don't know anything about Athens. Reports we have gotten indicate that they are better than last year except at quarterback." "We ought to be in good shape defensively but will be hurting offensively," Shorty added. Decatur is expected to be troubled by a lack of experienced ble from an ankle injury, and!

And the year before under coach Ferman El-roojfe, Athens invaded Decatur to take a 12-0 victory.

Hutch Might Beat Cards To The Punch MILWAUKEE (AP) If bosses of the St. Louis Cardinals don't hurry up and publicly fire Fred Hutchinson as manager, he might beat them to the punch. Club officials insist they won't make a final decision until the season ends, despite reports he already is out.

But Hutchinson disclosed upon the club's arrival here that he already has. received four "solid offers for jobs," is not giving definite answers on them for the time being "but I probably will in about 10 days." That will be a week before the regular season ends and the time set by the Cardinal brass for a definite decision. If Hutchinson should announce acceptance of another baseball job around Sept. 21, the Cardinals might not be ready to announce his successor. Alvin Dark, the veteran 35-year-old infielder traded by the Cardinals to the Chicago Cubs earlier this season, is believed to have the inside track for the job if the Cardinals are willing to pay the price in baseball talent that it will take to get him back.

The only way the Cardinals could acquire Dark before Sept. 29 the day after the season ends and eight days after Hutch indicated he will make his own decisionis on waivers.

SKELTON Associated Press Sports Writer HOUSTON (AP)-Businessmen hoping to bring major league baseball to Houston say they have a definite plan that will be developed only on an orderly basis. "We have applications on file with both the National and American leagues but the proper time for formal appearances before the leagues will come when we have our own house a little bit more in order," said Craig Cullinan head of a syndicate seeking the franchise.

"We intend to do that and right now we face a double-barreled situation getting sufficient leases to support the stadium and getting the stadium built.
