Milton Academy, took note that his
teams catcher was very busy man.
At the end of the game, the box
score showed he had held the ball on
l6 strikeouts, caught two foul flies
and tagged out two runners at the
plate for total of 20 putouts. This,
the manager contended, broke the
major league record. He checked
with the authorities and found he
was right.
Record Made in 1884.
In 1884 Vincent Nava, catching
for the Providence Club of the Ma
tional League. had 10 putouts. His
pitcher that day was the immortal
Charles "Hoss" Radbourne.
If you distinguish between "old-
time" records and modern" records,
you still have to hand it to Cover
nor Dummer's catcher. The modern
record for putouts by catcher in
one game is shared by Jimmy
Wilson (handling Dizzy DEAN and
frankie Pytlak (handling Bob
Feller). 1t is 18.
I don't know how closely the
Governor Dummer manager kept
tabs on the little red book. It's
certain that in that same game his
catcher broke the modern" record
for chances accepted by a catcher
in one game which Is also 18, shared
by PytlAk, Eddie Sweeney and
Ossie Schreckengost Perhaps he
broke even the all-time record for
chances-if he had four assists, or
a total of four in assists and errors,
in addition to his 20 putouts The
record of % is held by Bignau of
Milwaukee of the Old Union AS
sociation. It's obscure, but Cover
nor Dummer's manager seems to
have been on his toes, and probably
he would have spotted it.

day which tells, with proper dignity,
how a 58-year -old major league rec
ord was broken in a prep school
game.
It was not one of those records
that every one remembers. 1t wears
no scarlet brackets in the book of
baseball history. 1t was just an
other record, and the fact that
youngsters knew about it is all the
more f1attering to the major leagues.
School Catcher Has Busy Day.
Many records are broken, doubt
less, in school and neighborhood
games. I remember seeing Bob Fel-
ler's record of 18 strikeouts in a
game, and the older record of 10,
smashed to pieces by 12-year -old
pitcher. And there have been sand
lot contests wherein some beardless
slugger accounted for more home
runs than the record of four shared
by Bob Lowe. Ed Delehanty, Lou
Gehrig and Chuck Klein.
But when you come to the record
for putouts by catcher in single
game-well, that means the boys
really are keeping their eyes open.
And they picked a good. substantial,
ancient mark to break, too-one that
has stood in the big leagues since
June 7, 1884.

National Meet
Fans Finding Net Show
Dull; Gil Hunt Facing
Schroeder Today
BY GAYLE TALBOT,


NEW YORK. Aug. 29-After two
singularly dull days, during which
even the old guard looked panied
at times, the national tennis cham
pionships at Forest Hills should
ginger-up considerably today, If only
because Pancho Segura, fabulous
little Ecuadorean, might finally
show up.
Ever since the tournament began
the officials have claimed there
really was a Segura and that he
would play in the championships,
but the fans were beginning to be-
come openly skeptical after he failed
to appear again yesterday.
AS result, it was especially an
nounced last night that Segura.
complete with two-handed forehand,
positively would show up at $3.50 p m.
today to play his first round match
against Ensign Ronald Edwards Of
Ithaca, N. Y.
Other Promising Matches.
Several other promising matches
were on tap, too, in the second round
of the mems event. Ted Schroeder,
jr., seeded No. /, faced stubborn
opponent in Corpl. Gilbert Hunt, jr.,
of Langley Field, Va, and William
Talbert of Cincinnati met E. Victor
Seixas, jr, of Philadelphia, perhaps
the best of the East's young stars.
Additionally, the experts were
looking forward to a meeting be-
tween frankie Parker, now of Los
Angeles, and Richard Hart of Miami
mainly to see If Parker possibly
could have developed at the ripe old
age of 27 into the great tennis play
er he looked yesterday in over
whelming Jack Geller of New York
without the loss of game.
All first and second-round mems
singles matches were scheduled to
be completed today, and beginning
made on the mixed doubles.

Were not going to be able to

so I think we should stick close to

that would be near us. With the

eliminated. Griffith may be hoping
Orlando citizens will pool their au-
tomobiles and get the Mats to their
nearby destinations. but that idea
is blocked by gas rationing. Train
service between some of those spots
is unsuitable and hitch hiking is
unreliable.
New Talent Due Tomorrow.
Meanwhile Griffith is awaiting the
arrival Of three players from the
Mats Chattanooga and Charlotte
farm clubs. Due to report tomor-
row are Pitcher Lou Bevil and In
fielder Ray Hoffman from Chatta-
nooga and Catcher Oden Barbary
from Charlotte.
They'll be the only boys I'll bring
up this fall" says Griffith. "Bevil
won - games for Chattanooga and
they say he looks pretty good, but
he'll probably be In the Army before
next year. Hoffman has a great
arm, but can't hit. Barbary hasn't
| played much with Charlotte be-
cause Cliff Bolton has done most
of the catching there"
Grifith is planning no extensive
employment of the trio, at least un-
til the Mats close their home season
here on September 8. 1--WE have the
Yankees and Red Sox coming in for
seven games and we'll have to give
those clubs the best we have in

the rear. Then they know that partisan fight

Isolated from the rear, the Germans must

Town K" is code expression conveying a
secret order to the Russian guerrillas behind
the German lines. For these valiant fighters
are far from scattered, unorganized bands;
they are huge, integrated fighting force and
their orders come straight from Moscow.
Never in history have guerrillas played
such an important part as they do in Russia
today. They form an underground front
behind the front, and are everywhere and
nowhere. They are more dangerous than fame
throwers and dive bombers because no sound
betrays their lightning approach. They cover
every inch of the hinterland, and as quick
as they come, they disappear in the forest
mist. They are at least as much responsible
for German reverses this winter as the sting
ing cold of the steppes and the death-defying
galantry of the Soviet soldiers. They are
known as the ''partisans," and Russia is full
of their praise. There may be millions of them,
operating in large formations as well as in
small units.

World War l. To many of the Others that
war is scarcely a memory. There was, for
instance, Alexander Tchekalin, aged l6, whose
name has become a byword throughout the
Soviet Union He operated near his native
village, and fear was unknown to him. He
threw sticks of dynamite at German tanks,
sniped at Nazi patrols from behind hayricks.
But one day he was oomered in peasants
hut; he decided to smash his way to freedom
or to sell his life dearly. With a grenade in his
hand, he met the Nazis halfway.
The hand grenade turned out to be a
dud; the Germans hanged the boy. The
Soviet government decorated him post
humously with the highly-coveted Order
of Lenin, and the title of ''Hero Of the
Soviet Union,'' the nations greatest
hOnors.
Some of the partisan commanders are
regular-army officers, while others are Just
plain village folk. Division x of the Red
Army has been destroyed" the German high
command would announce. But Division x
was destroyed only as visible unit; it would
turn up behind the lines as a sector of the
great invisible army, commanded by its own
officers. Beggar's rags may be generals
uniform among the partisans. and colonel
may be flashing eyed woman. Common
peasant commanders sometimes reveal re-
markable gifts of ingenuity and organization.
