While more than one group has been trying to dig up the $4,000, ,000 required to purchase the Yankees, the National League of Professional Football clubs has introduced two new owners with more money than they know what to do with.
 The Brooklyn odgers have been in the hands of a bank for years. The Boston Bees can be picked up for $400,000, but there is dearth of baseball buyers.
 Yet professional football fran- chises are snapped up at the first offering and by young men who can afford to keep them.
 A year ago Fred Mandel of the Chicago department stores laid a sizable chunk on the line for the Detroit Lions.
 Now Alexis Thompson, 26-year- old heir to steel fortune, purchases the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thompson is vice president of a New York drug and cosmetics manufacturing concern.
 If this thing keeps up, the direc- torate of the National League of Professional Football clubs will read like that of the Chase National bank.
 The Philadelphia Eagles, the headaches of which Art Rooney, re- tiring Pittsburgh proprietor now shares with Bert Bell, is now the only pro gridiron company which is not affluent.

DUSTY, MERCANTILE MATCHES TONIGHT
Chase and Oakville Paired 'Verrikers and FultOnS
 to Meet

First and last place teams in the Mercantile league meet tonight when Verriker Painters, with a four game lead, tangle with the Fulton Mar kets, former league champions, now dwelling in the league cellar in com- pany with the Brock-Hall array.
 Mohican Markets and Speed Par eel are paired; Metros and Brook sides and Brock Hall vs. Matzkin Furniture are also matched for to- night.
 More trouble is ahead for the Chase Metal duckpinners who lost the leadership of the Industrial League when they dropped ! three straight to the American Brass roll CTS last week, for the Chasers are paired with Oakville Pin tonight at the Mattatuck alleys. Last week, Oakville was good enough to take three games from Blake and John- son, third place team in the loop. Brass will have no walkover tonight either, for it contends with the strong Waterbury Manufacturing ar ray tied for third in the standing, while the battle of the clockmak- CTS" is on for tonight as the Seth Thomas and Ingersoll teams meet for three games. Last week, Seth Thomas, led by Lefty Atwood rolled 1924 and upset Waterbury Manu- featuring two games, Atwood hitting 44O and Simpson 437 for Manufac- turing. Blake and Johnson vs. Naugy Chemical; Lux Clock vs. Waterbury Tool are other matches carded to- night.
 Next Saturday, Ingersoll and Seth Thomas meet in Naugatuck Val ley Mixed Industrial league match at the Mattatuck alleys.

average of 5.63 per try. Gallarneau is the guy who gets up steam while Albert is taking the ball from cen- ter and then grabs it and hits the line, particularly outside tackle.
 One of the big reasons for Stan- lords success was great line, com- posed mostly of sophomores who were able to hold back the opposi- tion while the backfeld men were performing their magis with the ball. So successful was this system that spectators hardly ever knew who had the ball until the whistle blew.
 Several of the 1899 regulars in the line were dropped to the second and third squads as the newcomers took over. Vic Lindskog, a transfer stu dent from Santa Ana Junior Col lege, took over the center slot and was the best defensive man in the line. At guards were pair of so- phomores- Chuck Taylor and Dick Palmer. Jack Warnecke, a junior, was the regular left tackle at the start of the season but was injured and Ed Stamm, another sophomore, took over. When Warnecke came back, he was unable to regain his job. The other tackle was 210- pound Bruno Banducci, another so- phomore who was the find of the season. The ends were a couple of grtzzled veterans-Stan Graf, one
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-17

Buck Newsom's pitching was another tremendous factor in the Detroit surprise. Old Bo-Bo cop ped two games-one as a relief worker-in a single afternoon when the pressure was at its peak.
 Paul Derringer, who hadn't bag ged aSgame in two previous world series, took two in this years fall fashion show-the fourth and the final. Newsom lost the payof num- Der, although he pitched well after only one days rest.
 Jimmy Wilson. 40 hopped back into the thick of things to catch the Reds to the world champion ship.
 Wilson, coach started to get in shape when poor Willard Hersh- berger committed suicide, so was ready when Ernie Lombardi twisted an ankle.
 PLAYER REBELLION
 HURTS THE INDIANS
 Cleveland was eliminated from the American League race in the first game of its closing three-game series with Detroit. A home run by Rudy York beat Bob Teller. The winning pitcher was Floyd Giebell, recruit recalled from Buffalo.
 Cleveland's chance was not in- proved by the Indians June re- bellion against Oscar Witt. A dozen Redskins told President Alva Brad ley that they could not play win ming ball for Wit, but Bradley stood firm behind the manager. On the surface the breach was healed, but morale suffered a heavy blow.
 Teller easily was the pitcher of the year with 27 victories and Il defeats. He became the first pitcher in major league history to turn in a no-hit, no-run game on opening day performed the feat against the White Sox at Coniskey Park. Tex Carleton recorded a no-hit no-runner against the Reds at Crosley Field shortly after the seasons start while the Brooklyn club was showing remark able early foot.
 The Dodgers presented prize shortstop in Pee Wee Reese, and were hurt when he was beaned and then put out for the remainder O fthe season by an injury. Sc played no more than 84 games.
 The veteran Freddie Fitzsim- mons hurled great ball for the Flatbush flock grabbed his 20t0h victory.
 BOUDREAU CONSIDERED RECRUIT OF THE YEAR
 While he finished the 1889 Season with the Indians, Lou Boudreau was regarded as the finest recruit of 1940.
 Frank Pytlak just traded by Cleveland to the Boston Red Sox established major league record by handling 57t consecutive chances without an error.
 Versatile Jimmy F'Oxx finished the season catching for the Red Sox, hit his 500th home run and set his sights on Babe Ruth's rec ord.
 Greenberg was adjudged the most valuable player in the American League. Frank Mccormick, the Cincinnati first baseman, won the same laurels in the National.
 Managerial changes saw Roger Peckinpaugh returned to the helm of the Cleveland Club and Hero Jimmy Wilson replacing Gabby Hartnett as boss of the Chicago Cubs. Philip K. Wrigley named Jimmy Gallagher. . baseball writ CT, general manager of his organ ization.

able to repeat as batting champions. Lajoie was the first to do it in 1903-04. Then Ty Cobb won nine ti- ties in a row between 19O7-15. Iris Speaker broke the string in 1916 and then Cobb came back to win in 1917- 18-19. There were no more repeaters until Al Simmons turned the trick in 1930-31.
 Hard Drive
 DiMaggio had his work cut out for him in the September stretch drive. He had to overtake Rip Rad- cliff, St. Louis outdelder who set the pace most of the year, and Luke App bling, Chicago shortstop who won the title in 1886. If all the other Tanks had played as did DiMaggio in the last month of the campaign, it's highly probable that the Bronx Bombers would have smashed through to their fifth straight pen- nant.
 The ten leading hitters who played in 100 or more games follow:

Self made George Halas of the Chicago Bears has plenty. Charley Bidwell, who has the Chicago Cardinals, prints the pari-mutuel tickets for practically every race track in the United Staets and Canada.
 Cleveland and Green Bay are stock jobs, but the Cuyahoga county men-Ellsworth Augustus, Dan R.. Hanna, Jr., and Gregory S. McIn- tosh, among them-can stand a de- felt and then some, and nearly everybody of any account in Green Bay is connected with the Packers in one way or another.
 Generally speaking, the financial structure of the National League of Professional Football Clubs is sounder than that of either major baseball circuit.
