SAYS VAUDEVILLE
STAR IS FATHER
OF UNBORN CHILD

NEW YORK.-(Co-Op Service. J
Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, the for
mer star of "Our Gang Comedies"
is all grown up and was yanked into
court by the angry mother of a
l7-year-old chorus girl who accuses
him of being the daddy of her daugh-
ter's unborn child.
Sunshine Sammy" was placed un-
der arrest last week after the girls
mother had visited Joseph Morrison,
the father, who was first appraised OF
the charges to be brought against his
famous son during the course of this
visit.
Daughter Ruined"
The mother, Morrison said. called
at his home and informed him that
her daughter had been ruined by
the vaudeville star. When he oues-
toned her further, she is said to have
named the specific dates of the two
alleged attacks and to have stated
that her daughter had been pregnant
four months. She did not state, how
ever, why the matter had been kept
secret for that length of time.
The father then charged that he
mentioned the fact that the alleged
attack scarcely could have happened
in his apartment, as he had instructed
his housekeeper to be careful of the
conduct of his boys in his absence.
He also informed her that the house
keeper was present in the house on
both of the dates when the incident
was alleged to have occurred.
When the woman asked him what
he intended to do about it, Mr.. Nor
rison is said to have suggested call
ing meeting of the boy, the girl and
the housekeeper, after which the
mother took her departure with ad-
monition to the father to ''think It
over"
Would Not Call Conference
Mr.. Morrison last week received a
telephone call from the woman. who
asked what he was going to do about
the matter. When he again suggested
calling a conference between the
principals, the mother hung up the
receiver. She appeared at the Edge.

two-bagger For it meant the spirit
of team play-the spirit of the game.
Simmons waited and walked, and when
Jimmy Foxx hammered a single that
drove in two more runs, it was all over.
From that point on Grove pitched as
Matty used to pitch. He took life easy
with two out, but when the pinch came
he had the reserve and the stuff to
choke any Cardinal attack to death.
When his mates gave Grove those
four runs in the third you had the
feeling that the series was just about
over. Most of the keenness went out
of the Cardinal attack. The deep and
frenZied roaring Of the st. Louis crowd
settled into a somber stiffness. There
were times when it bordered on a bod
ing hush. Even this excited home crowd
could sense the fact that Bob Grove
with with a 2-run lead was on his
way home with the flamingo'S feather
in his cap.
And when Al Simmons cracked his
home run in the seventh, adding two
more runs, the tumult and the shout
ing was over for the day.
After that second inning the two ball
teams looked to be far apart. The
Cardinals, with the exception of Pepper
Martin. wilted away. The Athletics,
with their eyes focused on the major
end Of the world series purse. kept on
playing ball. Being old campaigners
they knew this might be a tough Win
ter. They looked like shock troops
meeting recruits.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

X liamS, 2l-year-old recruit short
stop of the world champion
Athletics, is we'll on his way today to
becoming one Of the heroes of the 1881
world series.
Except for the fates of base ball,
which have just about eliminated Joe
Boley from the championship series
with the Cardinals, Williams would not
letics' defense. But, being dropped into
the spot has made no difference to the
youngster who regards even contest in
the world championship series rs just
another game of base ball.
Boley, thoroughly realizing Williams
is taking over his Job. perhaps perna-
nently, has worked tireleSsly to teach
the youngster all he knows. and must
have been happy at the latter's per-
| Torrance yesterday.
Young DID, whose most noticeable
characteristics are a huge chew Of to-
bacco and an almost phlegmatic calm
ness, Is the youngest player in the big
series, but he Is taking 1t as matter-of-
factly as though he was as seasoned as
his instructor.
Thinks Arm o. X.
Williams arm has not been regarded
as too dependable, there having been
a tendency to throw one away once in
while, but yesterday he came up with
performance that surprised many
the many, however, not including
Williams
Yeah" he said last night, "I've
thrown away quite few, but I have
worked to become an accurate thrower,
and I'm not worried about throwing
any away in this series. If you are
going to throw wild, you just throw
| wild. but after yesterday 1 know
don't have to worry"
Williams, who has been tutored by
Boley since long before recurrent in
juries made 1t impossible for the vet
eran to start the series, handled five
chances yesterday and at least two of
his fielding efforts were huge factors in
heading of possible Cardinal rallies. In
| the first inning after the Cards had
scored their two runs, Williams went
| over back of second base to snare Will
sons grounder and throw perfectly to
nail the st. Louis catcher at first The
play made the third out with Jim Bot
tomley on third base and Pepper Martin
on second at the time.

Hafey stole third and during an argu-

four hits, being helped by two bases on
balls.
Derringer, even though beaten
pitched spectacularly. He just missed
the corners on those passes in the third
but his control otherwise was very good
He famed nine batters, and Syl John
son tanned two more. That, I believe. is
close to record for the number of
strikeouts in a world series game.
Grove himself had seven strikeouts.
His control was perfect in that he did
not give base on balls. There were
several times when it appeared as if his
control was about to falter, but each
time he found himself quickly.
We set out after Grove in no fewer
than five different innings However,
after scoring in the first, a double play
hurt us in the fourth, coming between
two singles. A fast play by the young
shortstop, Williams, held down our
chance in the sixth, when Hafey and
Martin singled. Then in the seventh
Third Baseman Dykes helped Grove by
making a leaping stop of Flowers
bounder. That play also came ahead
of two singles
Philadelphia's last brilliant play oc-
Cured in the eighth, Al Simmons rob-
bling Wilson of long hit by running
catch. Even after that we still had an
opening. when Colbert doubled in the
ninth. but this time Grove himself put
on the brakes.
The hitting of Simmons, Dkyes, Foxx
Haas, Cochrane and Williams furnished
the scoring punch of the Athletics. For
the Cardinals, Pepper Martin was out
standing. He. in fact, made more hits
than any other player, with a double
and two singles.

Captain and second baseman Of the Cardinals,
in his seventh wofd series.
ut. LOUIS, Mo, october 2.-There's
no doubt about it. We were
beaten in the first game. but I'm
confident we'll even things up
today. feel that way because we are
hitting.
Bob Grove deserves a great deal of
credit for stopping us in the pinches
after the first inning. However, we
were hitting more frequently than a
losing team usually does in a world
series.
We got more hits eff Grove than the
Athletics did of our pitchers, and while
the AS punched their blows better than
we did, Grove several times needed eN-
ceptional support to hold down our
scoring. do not say this to take any
credit away from Grove, but to empha-
size that We are getting our share of the
hits and need only to hit together a
little better to wn.
The difference in the ball game was
our first inning and their third. We
had big inning open 10 us right at
the start. We did get two runs out Of
that early attack and were close to vic
tory right there. One more good hit
might have turned the ball game in our
favor.

We missed, though, but the Athletics,
