the Terre Haute youth. can make that oval
soar high and far when he puts his foot
to the leather. He is Coach Kizers main
stay punter. Both Moss and Lyons are
performing up to the measure of all Big
Ten talent.

to land Bud Parmelee, the big pitch

ask for Parmalee as part payment
in the catcher Paul Richards deal

Joe Mccarthy has had luck on his side
in baseball as well as managerial ability.
Fresh from leading the New York Yankees
to the world series title in straight sets,
with no love games included, over the
Chicago team that fired him, Mac is given
a new three-year contract calling for
about $4,000 annually. But speaking of
breaks in life, he topped 'em all for horse
shoes. Two years ago when the Cubs
turned Joe loose he was on the point of
signing as manager of the IowIy Boston
Red Sox when the Yankees cut in and
grabbed him. Fact of the matter Joe
came so close to hitching up with the
tailend Beaneaters that Bob Quinn, Red
SOx president, raised fuss about it and
lodged a kick against Yankee inter
ference. Draw your own picture. Nc
gotten men by now with that Red SOx
outfit.
TN discussing bench managers and
Il player managers, Sidney We'll,
president of the Cincy Reds, says he
thinks he will string along with the
dugout pilots. The Cubs, Giants
and Red Sox turned to player chiefs
in 1882 and Fonseca of the White
Sox also was labeled as such in a
way Now Washington has turned
to a player pilot in Joe Cronin, and
FonSeca of the White Hose says he
will try playing again next season.
Anyway, We'll cites Charlie Grimm
as an example of the, strain in
volved when a regular paStimer acts
as manager. We'll says Grimm
admits he lost twenty-five pounds
during the late campaign after be-
ing promoted to the pilot post on
Aug. 2, and his club was winning.
Imagine, then, what would have
happened to his torso if the Cubs
had struck a bad slump and missed
out on the pennant" Well, what
usually happens in case like that
is just too bad The manager be-
comes a skeleton, loses his appe-
tite, becomes afflicted with insomnia
and finally winds up punch drunk.
Love-smitten lads who take their sugar
babes to football games this fall are eau
toned to be careful when sneaking a
squeeze when the home team scores a
touchdown or blocks kick. This years
rule book is filled with penalties for illegal
use of the hands.
