INJURED ATHLETE IS
 BACK HOME ONCE MORE
McGoyern, Paralyzed. Existed Three Weeks Alone in Forest,
 He Tells.

Chicago Bay. Minn,, Oct 25 (UP) How he lived for three weeks alone in a. forest and suffering from paralysis was told today by Grover McGovern, former St. Thomas foot ball star.
 Nearly a month ago. McGovern set out from here on a timber cruise He planned to look at lake shore property along the border.
 One day he slipped and plunged over a 25 foot embankment- His back was injured so severely that paralysis immediately set in. With out protection. he lay in a downpour of rain for two days.
 His knapsack contained enough food to last for three weeks, and q sleeping bag. but he was unable to move the sack. Finally he managed to crawl into the sleeping bag.
 Then began a. slow, painful pro- cess of recovery.
 T seemed to get better gradual ly,' McGovern said. after I got into the bag. I could brew tea and pre- pare food. I knew there wasn't a chance of anyone coming along
 Tt looked like the end of things for me. l was 40 miles from Chi cago Bay. Believe me l did some praying as I lay there"
 McGovern's food stores became low aftpr nyer fuo ueal<c b,1 oIo,, ed and he decided to try the walk back to civilization.
 Tt took me six days" he said, and It certainly was torturous I travelled as fast as my back would allow and this place certainly looked good when I came into sight"

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Onc Of
Miller Higgins most daring gam
bles in lifetime devoted to the trial
and error method OF baseball was 4

came back to their bome grounds
today two up on the Pittsburgh Pir.
atcs in the 1927 world series.
For years Iluggins has guided
George Pipgras toward pitching star.
dom and the - year old Iowan fin
ally came through Yesterday in his
first post-season game, holding the
Pirates to seven hits and two runs
willie his mates were making six
runs and' hits.
Ever since the early winter of
1923 th" Yankees have had a strinr
on Pipgras but most OF the time he
has been warISng the bench.
Occasionally he would figure in a
game but his control was none too
good and he was inclined to blow up
at crucial moments
But higgins had faith and this
year Pipgras began to Justify. He
led his league in percentage of
games won, turning in 10 victories
against three defeats, but failed to
pitch many complete games.
There were few who thought Hug.
gins would let him work in the
series. But substitute outfioldrr
drove a ball in the batting workout
to Herb Pcnnock s knee last Tues
day and it was Georges chance. He
made the best of it.
Has Big Chance

sent him in 1925 to the Nashville
Club of the southern league ,ad the
following year to st. Paul of the
American Association. Then the big

made good,
The excellence Of his pitching was
somewhat ovcrshadowod by the
Yankee attack, but examination
showed that he allowed no two of
the seven hits in the same inning,
that he gave only one base on balls
and that he had the Pirates batting

Higgins also should be given
credit for sticking To George : bat.
terry mate, Kenny Bcngough, who
caught heady game. Benny, too,
has had his share Of ups and downs
with emphasis on the downs.
After graduation from Niagara
University Benny joined the Buffa,
10 Club Of the International League
lin 1918. He was sold late in 1922
Mo the Yankees.
His first year in the majors found
Benny in a tough spot because Wally
Schapg was the regular Iank catch
or. But Benny's hitting continued
TO improve, Higgins let him work
in moro games each year and by
1926 he was ready TO behind the bat
= most of the Nank games.
Then Benny hurt his arm and the
lilment kept him out Of the 1926
world series. Most of this years re.
ceiving has been done by Pat Collins
and Jack Grabowski but Benny has
been rcgaining his former power
with throws to second and may be
classed as a regular again in 1928.
