Campbell's heads-up play was the cause of the lone run which the Spinners made against The Times last week as The Times won, 2 to 1. LOOKOUTS OF '01, '43 MET A SIMILAR FATE From Page Forty-three with Chattanooga on the league presidency, he picked Chattanooga to pitch him against first.

I sat on the bench with him and tried to bluff him into not pitching him, telling him if he kept up that kind of practice it would break up the league. He said he didn't care, he would pitch him anyhow. Well, we needed the money, and we had the biggest crowd all season in the park and I told Whistler we would play it under protest; at least that's what Whistler told me to tell him. And I remember correctly, Jack Dolan beat him. One day along late in the season, the ball club was in New Orleans for a Sunday double-header and New Orleans was fighting for the pennant.

The club bank account was overdrawn $268 and would be home next day when we had to meet the semi-monthly pay roll. Along about 11:30 an awful storm came up, which lasted till about 2. Around 1 we wired Whistler at the ball park "Raining like hell here, what's it doing in New Orleans?" He replied about 30 minutes later, "Raining like hell here, too. Sorry." Taylor Sold For $800 -I never shall forget Frank Rees and Joe C. Guild.

They called me off to one side, after nearly all the subscribers decided suddenly they had business elsewhere, and they said they would underwrite the payroll the next day, but not to say anything about it and they would make "these fellows put, That night we had Watertown Geese for dinner at the Mountain City Club and while at dinner we got a telegram from Whistler, "Chattanooga 3 New Orleans 2 New Orleans 5 Chattanooga 3. attendance 6,800." When he came in he had suf ficient money to meet everything and had some left. At the end of the season we sold Bill Taylor to Louisville for $800 and with the exception of the subscribers, we didn't owe anything. The. Chatta nooga Brewing Company agreed to back the club the next year and so we let them have it.

Charles Reif became president and Mims Hightown secretary and treasurer. Atlanta did not belong to the league at the beginning of the season and after all other towns got so much advertising out of the St. Vrain matter, they could not stand it any longer. They came to Chattanooga and persuaded Peters with his Selma Club to transfer to Atlanta. He got a good proposition and the balance of the league was glad of it.

When the Southern Railway took over the ball park the club was! transferred to Montgomery. From! there the club went to Little Rock, and from Little Rock back to Chattanooga under Andrews and Patten. The Present Situation Why was the present ball club moved from Chattanooga to Montgomery in the middle of the season and what was the cause that brought it about The only answer I can give is my own reactions for the last two or three years. Baseball has been my hobby for 60 years. I have followed every ball club and knew something about every ballplayer during that time, both amateur and professional.

In fact, I was so "nutty" about baseball, on restless nights when I couldn't go to sleep I pitched, caught, played shortstop, center field, or hit home runs inside the ball park, instead of counting sheep going through a crack in a rail fence. I attribute the loss entirely to Clark Griffith, and not Joe Engel. Griffith took the Chattanooga fans for suckers a long time, and depended on Joe Engel to keep them pepped up. Faithful, loyal old Joe did it for a long time, but they finally quit going. He lost his third-base crowd and his bleachers the real fans and when you lose that bunch you have lost your best regular patrons and your best advertising medium.

I know, because I have sit in the bleachers all my life and still think it's the best place to see and enjoy a ball game. Griffith really helped us the first year he owned the club the year we won the pennant when he sent us Joe Harris. But that's a long time ago, and he hasn't done anything for us since. Three or four years ago he announced that the Chattanooga franchise was nothing fo him but a feeder for his Washinugton club. The fans assumed he meant to keep them here and recall them at the end of the season.

But he didn't do it that way. Civic Pride Hurt Time and again we have developed a good player and the team was going good, and he would recall to Washington the star players and send us a sore arm, athlete's foot, a tempermentalist, or someone who refused to report. They would sit around on the bench for a few days and be returned to the place they came from. Every town or city has a certain amount of civic pride and they just don't like to be intimidated to the extent that they are spending their money for the benefit of BUCKEYES BOW TO BOILERMEN Undefeated Purdue Turns on Power for 30-7 Victory Before 41,509 Fans CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 16 (HE) Ohio State suffered its worst de feat in three yeara today as Purdue's powerful Boilermakers, with a marine in charge, smothered the Buckeyes under a 30-to-7 score before 41,509 shivering and rain soaked football fans in Cleveland Stadium.

Although held at the short end ef a 7-to-0 score at the end of the first half, Purdue opened up a withering attack in the last two periods to push across five touchdowns and keep Ohio State's 'freshman" players on the defen sive most of the tune. Ohio State, last year's Western Conference champions, scored the first touchdown of the game in the first period when Dean Sensan-baugher galloped across the goal from the' 5-yard line after Purdue had been penalized 15 yards for holding and had fumbled on the following play. The Buckeyes held that one touchdown, advantage until the third period, when Purdue's formation started to work with clocklike precision despite the sloppy field and a driving wind in from Lake Erie. With Sam Vancanti as the pivot, Tony Butkovich, the marine trainee from SL David, 111., and former Illinois star, scored two touchdowns in the third period and then added another in the final quarter, while Boris Dimancheff tallied two more in the fading minutes of the game. VANDERBLT DEFEATS TENNESSEE TECH, 20-0 Sptcial to Th Chattanooga Times.

COOKEVILLE, Oct 16 Vanderbilt Commodores, in their first game of the season, defeated Tennessee Tech, 20 to 0, on a slick muddy field here today. Despite the cold rain the stadium was almost filled, with more than half the crowd being service men who are in this area on maneuvers. The first Vanderbilt touchdown came early in the first quarter when two of three Vanderbilt players rushed in to block R. L. Highers punt on the 20-yard line.

Johnny Goodgame then made a first down for Vanderbilt and on the second try Harry Robinson went over for the touchdown. Carlos Izzaguire failed in his attempt at the extra point. The other two touchdowns came In the, third period, with Harry Robinson carrying the ball over each time, once on a 40-yard run I and the other one on a line plunge from the 4-yard line after the ball had been brought into scoring territory from the 48-yard line on runs by Robinson, Goodgame and Bobby Lawrence. Capt. Joe Bailey Cobbs was the outstanding player for the Eagles.

The Tech spirit held up throughout and in the fourth quarter they ended a scoring threat by Vanderbilt by holding the Commodores on downs. The visitors made 10 first downs While Tennessee Tech made one. Line-ups: VANDERBILT Cate Bower Bostick Hamilton ilea Hamilton Owen Kelev Ooodsama TENN.

16 W) Bill Dickey, the New York Yankee catcher, will return to active status as a pilot with the Arkansas wing of the civil air patrol late today when he joins other CAP pilots at El Dorado in search of a missing army transport. The transport has been missing two weeks from the Grenada (Miss.) Air Base. Mawnin' From Page Forty-One round to the mythical Ali-City team selections for this season. It was agreed that reducing an All-City backfleld to four men this year is going to take a lot of sifting. "You can't overlook the twinkle-toe twins up at Red Bank, Bobby Jumper and J.

E. Guider," one of them remarked. "Jumper and Guider go together just like ham and eggs, corned beef and cabbage and beer and pretzels." "What are you going to do with those five ball carriers out at McCallie?" one of them cut in. "And Baylor has a couple of men" "How about City's" "And Central's" "Don't forget Notre Dame's And so on, far into the afternoon.

One of thj local papers switched over to golf I Softball and fishing reports, am baseball fans hardly ever read that love their baseball. 1 No one can make me believe that the ball club will remain from Chattanooga long. In fact, think it will be back next year, Th league needs Chattanooga, a deal more than Chattanooga xafa the league. No directors or owners of a baj club in the league are going leave Chattanooga out of it because here is a city of 200,000 right in the center of a circle Knoxvm. Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphj, and Nashville, and I believi they will be soliciting us instead of dj soliciting them.

Of course, they may leave us out next year, but don't worry, they will be back. Engel Is Praised I think I know enough about baseball to know that Griffith hat not lost a cent in Chattanooga. Of course, his books may show a loa, but I don't believe he thinks personally. Griffith may be "Old Fox," as he is called about ball player and know how to D. vid Harum a trade for other bill players, but he does not know hjj public and does not know human nature.

Anybody could take a ban club in Washington this. year am make barrels of money, becausi people have no place to go except to the ball park since the town ii crowded 10-feet deep. So far as Engel is concerned, 1 believe he is the best asset Chattanooga has had in the last years as an advertising medium, and I believe Chattanooga can ill afford to lose him. I predict if Cincinnati continue! to conduct the Birmingham ball club, as they have the last two years, the same conditions win arise there and the baseball public will lose interest I sincerely hope that businesi conditions soon rise so that garnet can be broadcast. Of course, Engel has to find a sponsor, since hi could not afford to broadcast them without pay for radio' time.

My age is such I can't go a to night games, but I certainly do not want to miss any daylight games.

16 (U.P) Notre Dame mixed mercy with magic today as it rolled to its fourth consecutive triumph by burying helpless Wisconsin, 50 to 0, as the Irish scored in every quarter. The victory enabled the powerful Irish to take another step toward Notre Dame's first perfect season since 1930. The magic of the mixture Notre Dame showed 18,000 fans was embodied in the Irish's all-conquering first team, and the gridiron mercy was that displayed by Coach Frank Leahy when he permitted his first-stringers to play only 15 minutes during the rout. Notre Dame's regulars played 10 minutes of the first period and scored three times in that brief interval. They came back at the start of the third quarter and stayed in the game for another five minutes, during which they racked up two more touchdowns.

Leahy then withdrew the star-studded line-up for the day. How efficiently the Irish regulars performed is attested by the smashing manner in which they raced to five touchdowns. They came in this manner: (1) After a Wisconsin punt was downed on the Badgers' 43, Notre Dame moved to pay dirt in four plays, with Julie Rykovich sweeping left end for 13 yards and the score. The elapsed time was two minutes and 36 seconds. (2) Notre Dame moved 51 yards in seven plays for this marker, with Fullback Jim Mello hammering right guard for four yards for the score.

The time was seven minutes and 13 seconds. Miller Plunges for Score (3) Creighton Miller intercepted a pass by Cliff Washburn on the Wisconsin 34-yard line and returned it to the 21-yard stripe. Three plays later Miller plunged 2 yards for the score. The time was nine minutes and 41 seco ids of the first period. (4) The Irish moved 55 yards in sever, plays for the touchdown, with Angelo Bertelli sneaking the final 3 yards.

This scoring effort used up only two minutes and 43 seconds of the third period. (5) Another pass interception set up this final touchdown by the regulars. Guard John Perko took a Washburn toss on the Notre Dame 45 and returned it to the Wisconsin 27. One running play netted 9 yards, and then Bertelli passed 12 yards to Jack Zilly, who lateraled to Miller and he raced over for the score. The time was five minutes and 13 seconds of the third quarter.

The Irish regulars then went to the bench to stay. WISCONSIN NOTRE DAME Langdale L. Limont Lee L.T White fischer L.G Filley Keenan Coleman Rowe R.3...

DANIEL FIELD BEATS GEORGIA Ditomo Leads Servicemen to an 18-7 Victory Over Light Bulldogs AUGUSTA, Oct. 16 JPI Tony Ditomo, former Temple star, threw touchdown passes to John Lomberger, ex-Northwestern end, and plowed over once himself- to lead the Daniel Field Fliers to an 18-to-7 triumph over the Georgia Bulldogs today before 5,000 fans. Outweighed an average 25 pounds to the man, the Bulldogs came through with spots of brilliant running and passing, and late in the fourth quarter shoved over their single tally. The Fliers made their first tally in the opening period after an exchange of punts put the army team in Georgia territory.

A pass from Ditomo to Johnny Sylvester, also a former Temple player, was good to the Georgia 3. Ditomo carried it over on a quarterback sneak. In the third, the Bulldogs managed to reach the Fliers' 7 by virtue of a 61-yard runback of a kick by Edgar Bratton, but a penalty and tightening up of the Daniel Field line prevented a score. Just before the third period ended, the Army Airmen opened up again with an aerial attack. Ditomo chunked twice to John Holmes, former N.

C. State player, and once to Lomberger for the second touchdown. In the fourth Vincent Secontine intercepted one of Cook's throws and raced 56 yards to the Georgia 14. Ditomo shot a pass to Lomberger over the goal. Georgia's single touchdown came midway in the fourth on passes by Bill Rutland.

He threw to Reid Moseley three times and then once to Pierce Robertson for the Tally. GEORGIA DANIEL FIELD Holmes Secontine Hebson Ballard Benton Burke C. R. r. B.

With several first-line and reserve backfield men on the bench Texas utilized third-stringers, who demonstrated that the T.onghorns are good perhaps three deep at some backfield spots.

the catcher, Walker Cooper, for not warning the pitcher when a situation comes up like that, where one pitch beat you in a ball game. Outside of Cardinal pitching there wasn't a man on the team that played good heads-up ball, and with no pep or hustle on the field, you can't hope to win. Lou Klein, in my opinion, was the real bad ball player in the series. I was surprised Southworth didn't move him from the leadoff position so he couldn't come up to hit so often. He looked as though he was expecting Southworth to take him out for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning.

Too bad he didn't. Crosetti, Gordon and Dickey along with their pitching were the bright spots on the Yankee team. Keller didn't hit as expected, but played heads-up ball and hustled all through the series. McCarthy Ordered Men Not to Razz Cardinals ED DANFORTH, Atlanta Jour nal Did you hear that Manager Joe McCarthy ordered his Yankee jockey not to razz Cooper nor the cardinals at all during that same? It was a gesture of respect for the emotional stress upon the club after the death of Cooper's father, a human thing to do. Attendance at the opening game was 68,676, which is a thousand more paid admissions than the pennant-winning Nashville Vols drew all season at home.

The second day produced 68,578, which was just about Atlanta's total gate through July 1. "This is pretty good for a week dav." Joe Engel remarked as the second day count was announced. Joes club drew something like 15,000 for the season. Joe McCarthy Explains Loss of Series in 1942 ARTHUR DALEY, New York Times It begins to look now as though Joe McCarthy merely loaned the world championship to the St. Louis Cardinals.

He's got it back again and the title seems in eminently proper hands. "It was just another pennant and another championship," he said. "I knew I had a good ball club even when we weredown at Asbury. "Here's something about the last W6rld Series which most people overlook," added Joe. "To begin with, we lost Tommy Henrich just before the series began.

Johnny Murphy was injured and of no use to us where we needed him vitally in relief. In one game we might have won, but I couldn't afford to take Atley Donald out for a pinch hitter because we had no other pitcher to use. "On top of that we lost Buddy Hassett early in the series and that really hurt. We missed iis fielding and his hitting because he was really going great guns. Another thing about Buddy is that he's our kind of ball player.

So you can see how much below par we were at the wrong time. I'm hot offering an alibi, understand. I'm just stating a few facts." Dickey Forgets Name, Remembers Weak Spot shikley POVICH, Washington Post An army corporal from Fort Riley got on the crowded elevator in the Chase Hotel, where the Yankees were celebrating their World Series victory over the Cardinals. On the lift was another passenger, who was feeling no pain. He was Bill Dickey.

His home run a few hours before had won the World Series. "Hi ya, Bill," the corporal said. "I didn't think you'd remember me in these clothes." "Sure, I remember you," said Dickey. "We pitched you high and inside all the time. I remember, if we pitched you outside it was boom, hey, what's your name?" The name was Joe Gantenbein, former infielder of the Athletics, who went into the army a couple of years ago.

The name doesn't matter. What is important, we think, is the fact that Bill Dickey even at a time when he is feeling no pain, looks at a cruy in a sol dier's uniform, doesn't recall his name, but remembers him clearly as a fellow who couldn't hit an inside pitch. How are you going to beat a team with a catcher like that? Smoky Joe Wood of the Red Sox won three 1912 World Series games and lost one to the Giants, buj "uvwi wuu uue oeuea, a lo o. 'We Underrated Cards Last Fall Gordon Says JOHN CARMICHAEL Chicago Daily News "There was nothing the matter with us last fall ex- ceot we underrated the Cards," said Joe Gordon. "We regarded thpm as iust another National League club.

They weren't then. Now thev are." Max Lanier, the Card southpaw, doesn't think Yanks have a man in their line-up as tough as Bill NichoK son. "You make one mistake against Nick and you live to re- PTPt It. said Max. The Red- birds have agreed they were misinformed on Rookie Bill Johnson of the Yanks.

"We were told he was a pull hitter," said Walker Cooper, "but he hasn't pulled on us yet. He's a straightaway hitter as I see him." There was a change in pitching style to him midway of the series. In one game Bill Johnson scooped up a bounder with two gone and Martin Marion feinting him between second and third. Bill didn't even look toward first. He charged the Card shortstop, fired to Frank Crosetti when Martin tried to regain second and the "thousand-legged man" was out.

Somebody behind us in the press box muttered: "There's a rookie for you. Marion tricked him into that and he was lucky." But not according to Manager Joe McCarthy. "That was the right play," said Joe, "the way Johnson made it. He might have thrown the ball high or in the dirt getting it off to Etten. He had a runner only a few feet away.

Had him trapped. A man caught in a rundown should never get away. He's 50-to-l to be out." In the ninth of that fourth game, Martin Marion had shot a bolt of lightning between Bill Johnson and the bag for two bases with one man out. Harry Brecheen was due to bat, but, obviously, he wasn't to get a chance. The situation called for a pinch hitter.

On the Card bench were Johnny Hopp and Ken O'Dea and Debs Garms. Hopp was a regular last season. O'Dea has been around the National League for some time, Garms won the batting champion ship with Pittsburgh two or threaj years ago. But they re ail len-handed hitters and a southpaw was on the Yankee hill. Percentage called for a right-handed batsman.

So Billy Southworth fastened upon Sam Narron. "You hit," barked the Card skipper. For a man lost in the shuffle of illustrious Red-birds, that was a long walk for Narron from the bench to the box. Thirty-six thousand pair of eyes saw nobody in the park but him. Casual series fans must have wondered who he was and whence he came.

You could see Yankees nudging one another as they tried to account for his being on a series roster at all. At best, or least, he was a third-string catcher. If they had a St. Louis squad-card they would have learned that Sam Narron had been in only 10 games this season. That he'd been at bat 11 times and had made one hit.

One for the year. His average was .091. He grounded out. In the third game South-worth's decision to pass Frankie Crosetti intentionally, filling the bases, was another move which drew considerable fire from the second guessers. Curiously, South-worth's warmest defender was McCarthy himself.

"Certainly that was the proper play to make," said the Yank skipper. "What else could he do with one out, runners on second and third and leading only by one run If he pitches to Crosetti with his infield in and Crosetti hits one he's licked anyway. By filling the bases he still had a chance of saving matters by getting Johnson to hit into a double play. Don't forget Johnson had hit into double plays twice in the series. Well, this time he smacked one and that's the way it goes." Terry Blames Catcher For Dickey's Home Run BILLY.

TERRY (Written for the Commercial Appeal, Memphis) It is hard for me to give the credit of pitching a great game to Chandler in the last game. I would say the Cardinals had a case of the jitters and no matter who pitched, as long as he wore a Yankee uniform it would have been the same. As usual, Mort Cooper pitched a good game, but made one mistake by pitching a fast ball inside to Bill Dickey, one of the few men on the Yankees that can hit the ball out of the ball park. I blame MIDDIES BEAT PENH STATERS Hamberg's Passes, Barron's Run Give Navy Team 14-to-6 Victory ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 16 HE Jittery Navy, far off the form that has made it one of the nation's football powers, today called on all the luck at its command to eke out a 14-to-6 victory over Penn State.

Some 18.000 fans, attracted by crisp, sunshiny weather which promised an ideal football afternoon, were drenched soon after the game started when a sudden rain and hailstorm swept over the field and turned the contest into a battle of fumbles. Rated to win by three or four touchdowns, the Blue Jackets had all they could do to win by one. The magic was missing from Navy's offensive repertoire. A slippery ball and a spongy field nullified virtually all its hocus-pocus, and Penn State's powerful line broke up play after play. Blocked PunU Count Navy actually was forced to cash in on two breaks partly blocked punts to nail down victory.

The first came midway through the first period when Dick Williams' boot carried only 10 yards to t'enn states 30. Here, Navy's sharpshooter, Hall Hamberg. fashioned a quick touchdown on two successive passes to End John Hansen. Vic Finos converted. A break set up the Pennsylva-nians touchdown, too.

Hamberg fumbled, and Al Olszewski recovered on Navy's 37 at the start of me tnira period. A short pass was good for four yards. Then Williams, the dynamite in Penn State's limited attack, heaved a 28-yard fourth-down pass to Jack Castig-nola who was pulled down on the 5. Williams hit the line four times and went over on the last try. But Dick Trumbull missed the extra point.

Reprieved, Navy clung desperately to its 7-to-6 mare-in de spite two other third-period threats that found Penn State once on Navy's 43 and again on their 33. Navy salted away the verdict with six minutes to go when it got the ball on Penn State's 43 on a poor kick and then exploded the one perfect play of the game. After Navy advanced to the 38, Substitute Bill Barron broke off tackle to the sidelines, picked up precious blocking and cut down the middle for a touchdown. Finos again converted.
