Unbeoten NewHoven Annex Gridders Show Here Sunday

Not satisfied with the original idea of having 6 team that had been beaten once on the program, Bill Derwin, publicity director of the big benefit football game at Hamilton Park next Sunday which is being staged for Rev. John Dial's Sacred Heart high school athletic fund, dropped the -Middletown eleven last night and in its place signed the crack undefeated New Haven Annex as opposition for George Aliens Naugatuck Rangers, which are also unbeaten.
 ''Now we have a state champion ship contest" said Derwin this morning.

CIockwise Race
 Al Rockinohom

Salem, N. H., Oct. 20-(UP)-A dangerous precedent, at least for the horses, will be set at Rocking ham Pary today when 12 normal ly-minded thoroughbreds go to the post in the wrong way" Corrigan handicap--a mile event for a $1200 purse that will be run clockwise over the strip.
 From a starting gate that will be set up near the club house turn, the field will scamper down the stretch past the grandstand in re- verse fashion and on past the three quarter, the half-mile, and the quarter posts iil that order.
 There is little form for the race that is run on the style of some British tracks but Bellarmine, sting irg and at bat were liked in some quarters.
 The race, first innovation of the 54-day season at the New Hamp- shire track, was scheduled when some old-time trainers suggested they would like to see race run in the fashion that was used during the early days of Belmont Park.

YANKEE STAR IS HJUST TIRED OF
 1T" HE SAYS
By Carl Lundquist

(UMlOe0 Press Stan COFEeSpOm0emSD
 New York, Oct. 20 = (UP.) - Manager Joe Mccarthy of the New York Yankees, was faced today with the loss of Joe Gordon and possibly Bill Dickey, from the team which brought him his seventh world championship in 1943.
 When Gordon stunned the base ball world from Eugene, Ore, yes- terday by announcing that he was quitting the game because he was "just tired of it." he caught the Yankee front office and Mccarthy as much by surprise as he did everyone else.
 '"This is the first we've heard about it," one oflcial siad. He cer. tainly won't make as much money out on the coast as he would with us. He never even intimated during the world series that he was plan ming to leave the Yankes."
 Mccarthy, informed of Gordon's action at his home in Buffalo, said he was surprised and sorry"
 "Joe is a truly great second base man and 1t goes without saying that we certainly will miss him." he said. "He has been a mighty fine ball player with us for the past six years and I would hate to see him step out just when he is in his prime"
 Mccarthy had no comment on whom he might secure to replace Gordon or Dickey, if the ageless catcher goes through with his plans to join the civil air patrol at his home in Little Rock, Ark.
 Other members of the champion ship team may leave during the off-season, as in 1942 when Phil RizZuto, Red Rolfe, Charley Ruff ing, Johnny Hassett, George Selkirk and Joe DiMaggio departed, but Mccarthy, the magician in the base ball uniform, will manage somehow.
 He did 1t this year with refugee Nick Etten from the futile Philadel- phia Phillies on first base, Frank CroSetti, 8 rejuvenated veteran oi short, Billy Johnson, as green as any rookie in the big leagues on third and John Lindell, a faulty pitcher and Roy Weatherly, Cleve- land Indian castof in the outheld.
 Nothing New
 Ever since Mccarthy has been Yankee manager, he has been plagued with the problem of replac- ing his stars. When the one and only Babe Ruth reached the dimout of his career, Twinkletoes Selkirk satisfied the right field bleacherites with his brilliant fielding and base running, and the Yankees went on winning titles. It was the same when Lou Gehrig, the old iron horse ended his great string of consecu- tive games and had to quit for keeps. The succession of men who replaced him, Babe Dahlgren, Has sett and finally Etten, never match ed his talents, but plugged the gar sufficiently to keep the pennantS coming in.
 Gordon replaced Tony Lazzer and was more than adequate, wher pitchers Vernon Gomez, Herb Pen. mock and George Pipgras, who let the pennant drives in the early 30. began to lose their zing, Mccarthy acquired such replacements as Monte Pearson, Steve Sundra, Pat Malone, and in recent years, Alley Donald, Marius Russo Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, Ernie Bonham Hank Borowy, and Charley Wens- loff.

Luckmon, Moore Conodeo Lead

Chicago, Oct. 20-(SpeciaD Sam Baugh, of Washington, moved up nearer the lead in the race for the National Football league passing championship this week, taking over second place close upon the heels of Sid Luckman of the Chicago Bears.
 Coming within one touchdown pass of equaling the league record when he fired four scoring aerials in the rout of the Green Bay Pack CTS Sunday, Baugh crowded Ronnie Cahill. Chicago Cardinal rookie and the early leader. back to third place.
 In addition to advancing on Luck man, Baugh took over first place in interruptions, a department in which he has been virtually a stranger during his eight seasons in the league. Baugh is tied with five other players in the number of in- exceptions, having intercepted three, but gets top ranking by dint Of greater returns.
 Tony Canadeo of Green Bay, chung to the ground gaining lead during the Packers afternoon of woe Sunday, but had his advantage reduced to 26 yards as Harry Clark of the Bears, and Johnny Butler, Phil-Pitt rookie, pulled out of the pack to challenge for first place.

 Harry Hopp. Detroit, maintained his l2 point lead among scorers by running 67 yards with Frankie Sinkwick's screen pass to beat the Cardinals, but his interest opposi- ton now comes from Wilbur Moore, Baughs new-found battery mate.

Don Hutson, perennial champion in this depart- ment, dropped from second to fourth over the weekend.

 New York, Oct. 20-(UP)-Slen- der, almond-eyed Marva Louis - wife of the heavyweight champion will go on the stage in December, because she and Sergeant Joe need cash.
 Mrs. Louis, an attractive golden brown girl in a fitted black crepe dress, announced this today at the Theresa hotel in Harlem.
 Although champion Joe took down purses totalling $2,374866 dur ing his busy ring career, the Louises now have no income, she said. Joe's earnings ceased when he entered the Army in January, 1922. Mean- while their heavy expenses contin- ued.
 Standing in the Theresa lobby Marva Trotter Louis gave her pom- padoured page-boy coiffure a reas- surfing pat, and said: Were not broke. We have certain properties and other possessions. But they provide no income; and the prop critics must be kept up. And we have other commitments, such as two large families to take care of and the expense of keeping my two nieces in college"
 Then Marva chuckled, jiggling her silver earrings and necklace, And I almost forgot - there's Jacqueline, too." Jacqueline is the Louises' eight-month-o -old daughter She is in New York with mamma
 Marva, the former Chicago sten- ographer who married bomber Joe just before his million-dollar fight with Maxie Baer, Sept. 24, 1885, said she decided last August to go on the stage. She has been studying in New York since then; except for Q two-weeks visit to Chicago when Joe had a furlough. Husband Joe is now on an exhibition tour of Army camps that will keep him busy until January.
 o. K. By Joe
 Mrs. Louis explained, At first Joe didn't want me to go on the stage But he finally consented. It seemed tAlC OAAAy way I SOQA0 ChAAL U 4dA4 amount of money. People who should know thought I had some talent. I had helped entertain at Army camps in the Chicago area, and the reactions were favorable. So here I am."
 Marva will make her debut in De- cember as @ vaudeville songstress, she said. Where are with whom she does not know yet. That's up to her manager, Bill Graham, Meanwhile she is working eight hours a day" in preparation. She is studying under Del Lambert, a song stylist. and Anita Loew, voice specialist.
 She admitted, with a smile, T may do bit of dancing, too. But that's incidental. My singing is the thing" She concluded, T do hope I make good-I hope go over. It will mean so much to Joe and me and our families"

Norton, Texas
 Coach Of Week
By OSCAR FRALEY

\OuAtcu EFeSS Stan COEEeSpOnuent)
 New York, Oct. 20 - (U.P.) - They call his team the Kaydet Kid die Korps because the boys average only IT years.
 But Homer Hill Norton has in- spired Texas A. and M. to four straight triumphs - the last a 13-0 win over undefeated TCU-and is the United Press football coach -of- the week.
 It's an unusual role for Norton, who down through the years has had powerful squads of burly men, such as Jarrin' John Kimbrough, Dick Todd, Cotton Price, Marion Pugh, Marshall Robnett, Joe Routt and Herbie Smith. Yet Norton has instilled in his youngsters a fervor that has given him his most enthu- siastic team in g years of coach- ing.
 The kids are teaching Norton something, too. The bald, stocky, 46- year-old Alabaman is proud of them because, as he puts 1t, they typify an unbowed America of the future. 1" Norton was four-letter man at Birmingham-Southern Son of a Methodist minister, he sacrificed a major league baseball career to en- ter coaching at Centenary in 1920. He had undefeated teams in 1927. '32 and 'S3 before moving to A. and M. in 1884. By 1889 he had formed a system which that year produced the nations number one team and Sugar Bowl will over Tulane.
 Good Record
 In 1940 his Aggies lost to Texas but downed Fordham in the Cot ton Bowl and the next year, with only two regulars left, again won the Southwest conference title. Again it went to the Cotton Bowl, only to lose to Alabama. His all- time record is ll5 won, 59 lost and 16 tied. Norton also is recognized nationally among the coaching fra ternity, and was called to help Coach the college all-stars at Chi cago in Al and AZ and to lead the Southern All-Stars in the 1942 Blue Gray game.
 Things looked bad for the Aggies this fall. When Norton issued his first call there were only four men back from last springs practice. But there were almost e hundred more raw, inexperienced kids - who wanted to carry on.
 Fourteen were track men, plan ming to specialize in the dashes, 1" Norton explains. T told them We had plenty of uniforms left from previous years. uniforms worn by wanted to 90 ahead for the Aggies champions. And they told me they holding that line and scoring touchdowns in Africa, Italy and over Germany.
 Well. they are doing a swell job. l"
 We may not win another game. But my Kadet Riddle Corps will be doing It's best every minute, hard ening up for the big job ahead touchdowns in Berlin and Tokio.'
