COMMON COURTESY
At The Football Games
BY Alp FEATURE SERVICE

You don't have to memorize
the Is changes in the collegiate
football rules to get the most fun
out of games this fall.
You can leave that up to the
players and officials.
You ought to have a general
idea of the way a game goes. It
will, keep you from asking silly
questions at the wrong time.
Your escort will prefer to offer
necessary explanations before the
game starts.
Leave out the questions de-
signed to make him feel he's so
much smarter than you. He
won't mind sincere queries, but
wait until after a play or until a
time-out.
Sometimes it may be impos-
Sible to get to the game before
the kickoff. If you're late, it's
only fair that you find your seat

the way you feel about there,
take these sliding pads and
shoes. Whereupon, three other
players joined him in walking
off the field toward the bleach
ers. l called the captain. who
was one of the deserving players,
and asked him if he was going to
play. He said no. have noticed
in the past that these four team
members had always joined to-
gether in any opposition to my
orders.
Now, fans, you can plainly see
how / felt. Anxious to have the
fourth game of the series played
as scheduled and not diSappoint
the spectators in the stands,
there was nothing for me to do
but play with what material l
had-and that's what / did.
| ask you, as impartial fans, Is
it not my duty to see that my
team follows my instructions on
the field Is it not a fact that
the violator of a rule should be
dealt with by the manager? Is
it not true that when a team has
complete uniforms and the mana
ger requests his players to wear
them, that they should follow his
orders-even if only in respect to
the sponsoring organization?
l think the time has arrived
when these boys should be given
some advice in regards to true
craftsmanship. l believe it would
be well to teach them a lesson
now so that they may avoid ruin
ing their future career in sports.

Wickers And Malgrat Put
On Pitchers Duel In
Game Cut Short By
Rain In Sixth

Trojans and Pirates staged
IL tie baseball thriller in the
nightcap of an Island City League
doubleheader at Navy Field yes
terday afternoon. The game end
ed just before the laSt-half of the
sixth inning when the second
squall of the afternoon began to
descend on the field.
Opening contest between SAL
Juniors and Pandora was called
off, by agreement with service
clubs, due to the inability of the
Coast Guard nine to reach Key
West from patrol duty in time
for the scheduled affair.
Rubber" Wickers, of the Tro-
jams, and Malgrat, of the BUGS,
engaged in tight pitching duel
during the duration of the after
piece.
Wickers got off to bad start
in the initial stanza, allowing
three hits and one run. From
then on, however. he held the
Pirates hitless and runleSs, re-
firing the side on strikes in the
second and whiting a total of
seven men.
Malgrat set the Trojans down
in order for the first two innings
and gave up only one hit until
the fourth when the opposition
punched a trio Of safeties for
their lone and tying marker. Tro-
jams should have won the game
in that frame but slow base run
ming by Rueda resulted in his be-
ing tagged at home plate just be-
fore the knotting run was scored.
Salinero got a big hand in
the second inning as he stabbed
Sterling's terrific drive into left
that went completely out of the
field. Anthony Alonzo's running
catch of Esquinaldo's smash into
right, in which the fielder fell to
,the~gFound and rolled over twice
but came up with the ball in his
hand, also highlighted the game.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-The
Cincinnati Reds have their own
Bronx bomber, a good-Iooking
young Bohemian named Frank
Mccormick.
Frank is the boy who knocks
the runs in. Frank is the boy
whose fielding around first base
makes old-timers speak softly of
the days of George Burns and
George Sis1er. Cincinnati fans
think Franks the leagues most
valuable player.
They speak of natural ball
players, but the breed doesn't
grow with tropical abandon. The
experts agree, though, that Frank
is one by any standard.
In the first place, the fellow
likes to play ball. Second, he
seems to know just what's going
to happen and what he should do
about it. Third, he can do it.
Fourth, he does it.
Wallace Found Him
Scout Bobby Wallace saw that
when Frank was with Beckley in
the Mid-Atlantic in 1884
That year, Franks first in pro-
fessional baseball. he hit BAT in
Glass c competition, knocked in
81 runs with 81 doubles, nine
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-09-23

triples, and eight homers. and
fielded .986.
The Reds brought him up at
the end of the season for q dozen
games, during which he batted in
five runs with five hits and rang
up a 1913 batting average.
He spent the next three years
on a tour of the Red farm clubs
and In 1888, the year the Reds
jumped from the cellar to fourth
place, he. came back to the big
time. ~
Monopoiizes Job
Since then he's been the regu-
lar first baseman and there
doesn't seem to be a chance for
anyone to snatch the job. He
batted in 106 runs in 1888, led the
league in such stuff last year
with 1913. and has been at or near
the top all this year
Thus. when Frank comes up
with one or more on base, figure
that anybody, including Frank
himself, is in scoring position.
In fact, an old saying 1.-TWO
years old now around Cincinnati
is that as Frank goes, so go the
Reds. When he's hitting, they're
winning. When he's in a slump,
they only win half the time.

players. l found to my surprise
that there were four team MEM

attitude hurt my feelings. l be-
lieve that when a team is spon-
sored by an organization such as
the Legion. or any other institu-
ton, the players should show
some respect by appearing in
uniform.
l asked one of my players the
reason for not appearing in his
suit. I had previously called to
the attention of the captain of
the club, who was the first vio-
lator. that all players must ap-
pear in uniform for a league
game. The player I questioned
replied that his suit was too wet
/ to wear. l said. "All right. here

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-RealiZ-

ed on overworked Bob Feller
yesterday to do what the rest of
the mound staff has failed to &C

Given support in big way,
Feller aided his own cause by
blasting homer in the eighth.
Previously, Trosky, Weatherly,
Chapman and Keltner had pro-
duced circuit cloutS. Four of the
Tigers runs were accounted fOr
by Greenberg and Gehringer,
who connected for a four-bagger
apiece. The Tribes 12-hit assault
was accomplished against half
dozen pitchers. The victory kept
the Indians in the race, reducing
Detroit's lead to one game.
New York Yankees still pos

winning the pennant but it Is a
slim one. Paced by pair of
homers off the bat of Selkirk, the
