Il was hoped that Governor Graves

position Of the state, would take ac-

The seottsboro Defense Committee

Gionts GreotIy Annoyed by
Operatives Whiskers.

Gomez was a man of million dis
guises. There was the day, for in
stance, when he clapped heavy gray
beard upon his chin and took his sta
ton behind third base in the Polo
Grounds. This disconnected the Giants
30 much that Coach Frank Snyder
walked over to the grandstand and
said:
BE q good guy, Lefty, and take
of them Whiskers."
He thinks he knows me-" whispered
Mr.. Gomez to his assistant. Il will fool
him by not answering. Don't say a
word"
Come on, take 'em on" urged Mr..
Snyder. cor I will have you pinched
for wearing fire hazard. How can we
concentrate on our work and fool Joe
Mccarthy with fake signs If you sit
over here and bother us with that
shrubbery?"
It developed that Mr.. Mccarthy, the
Yankee manager, was sitting at the
opposite side Of the grandstand. The
Giants tried to fool him, little sus-
pecting that Mccarthy was decoy
and that Operative Gomez was actually
getting the information. Nobody sus-
pected this, not even Mr.. Mccarthy
until couple Of days later, when XII
approached him and Missed in his ear:
Il have got hot tip, Joe. Careful
observation has convinced me that
Hubbell pitches with his left arm and
that Leiber hits right-handed. Make
your plans accordingly"
That is the history Of the Giants
defeat in nutshell, or something very
like nutshell.
Operative Gomez also used to take
q carrier pigeon to the ball game with
him when he secuted. Gomez wrote
down the plays, and the pigeon flew
them to headquarters. Once in a
while. when they got tired Of this
routine. the pigeon would watch the
plays and Gomez would carry the mes
sages. 1t was turn and turn about.
No one knows who has taken Lefty's
place as the seeing eye Of the Yankee
spy ring. but 1t is bound to be some one
you would never suspect, and it is
bound to be some one who will learn
those Pittsburgh secrets by hook or
crook. The system never fails.
What happens If the Cubs win the
pennant? Well, that would be sort Of
embarrassing.

Prather, Former C.. ". Star,
Will Start at End for Rams
In Sunday Battle With Skins

As matter Of fact, Beg" took time
out from one Of his two workouts
today at the ball park to explain that
he alternates two complete teams-one
about as good as the other-through-
out the game. It's hard to believe,
however, that his first-string back
field of Quarterback Vic Spadaccini
Halfbacks Bob Davis and Peterson
and Fullback Corby Davis could be
bettered.
But when . coach can leave such
linemen as Vic Markov, University of
Washington's all-America tackle last
year; Hamilton. Kovatch and Benton
on the bench, he must have something.
The Redskins saw enough Of all -four

Team Vastly Improved.
Citing the belief that Clevels nd
seems ready to 60 overheard for pro
football. Bezdek declared that fans
of that city will have something to 20
for if the Rams continue to improve
as they have since starting training.
Because they finished with the lowest
percentage OF any National League
club last year, the Rams had first
choice in the annual college draft and
consequently came up with some Of
the best graduating gridders. This
years edition Of the Cleveland team
therefore is far different from that
which won only one game of II last
year, its first in the league.
It may not win the Western cham
pionship, but 1t can cause plenty Of
confusion In the East Because, you
see, the Rams also play the Pittsburgh
Pirates and New York Giants and
there are some who say the Cleveland
team would give the Eastern con-
tenders . run for their money If they
we're playing in this section.

PIRATES THREATS,
F[AHERTY WARNS
Redskins Coach, Who Will
Scout Game, Picks Them
to Beat Dodgers.
By RAY FLAHERTY,

Coacn, Champion washington REDSKINS.
Pittsburgh plays its fourth game in
two weeks tonight and although the
Pirates have taken three straight
shellackings I look for Art Rooney's
victory of the season.
This may sound strange that the
Pirates opponents will be the Brook
lyn Dodgers, who held the Redskins
to tie last Sunday But despite our
inability to get anything better than
g stalemate with Brooklyn, don't
think the eleven is any too good.
Furthermore. believe the Pirates
have recovered from the strain OF play
ing three games in 10 days. which they
did to open their campaign and. once
again at full strength, will begin to
resemble the team they were expected
to be before their schedule was thrown
into confusion by hasty revision. And
Pittsburgh knows that if it loses to-
n'"lt i. can virtually count itself out
Of the running for the Eastern cham
2 onship.
A triumph. on the other hand, might
start 1t on the road to its preseason
predicted success and make it q con-
tender once again. They still have to
play the Giants again as we'll as the
F-e!es and games with Brooklyn and
Washington still are ahead OF them.
Because they may we'll be a con-
lender again by the time We meet them
for the first time on November 6, am
going to Brooklyn tonight to scout
Whizzer White and his teammates.
OF course. saw the Whizzer in action
in the Chicago 5All-Stars game. but I
want to see how he looks among pro-
fessional teammates.
