PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Don
MacGregor, who changed his name
for number and then became a
gridiron star, started today on the
long, tough job of making name
for himself in professional football.
All even with the law after serving
five years of a 10-year auto theft
term in Iowa State Penitentiary, the
27-year-old native of Des Moines
turned out for his first drill as a
backfield candidate with the COM
bined Philadelphia Eagles-Pittsburgh
Steelers Of the National Football
League. Since his release July 10
he has worked strenuously to be in
peak condition for his big chance.
According to his own story, Don
never played high school football be-
cause he was too small. But in
prison he grew to be a 6-foot 1885,
pound husky and quickly became
star on the penitentiary team.
Over Ave seasons he compiled
ground-gaining average of S yards
per play and punting average OF AZ
yards. He. can pass and placekick
too.
Those boys sure take their ath-
letics seriously" Don said, ruefully
rubbing his thrice broken nose as he
recalled the games he played with
the penitentiary team. And those
teams we met-we played eight or
nine each seasou-never pulled any
punches" M

Custer Rumor Was Out Early.
He recalled that prior to the July

Whitehill were to be fired. He said
Cox telephoned him, asked about the
rumor, which had reached the team,
and asked me to tell the players
that no changes will be made. In
my opinion this was deliberate
lie"
Harris said he had been managing
the Phillies without a signed con-
tract "for the lowest salary I ever
received as manager" but he
added both he and Whitehill would
receive their salaries the full season.
Cox, who said of Harris part in
the salary increase "he voted on
something as his job as director re-
quired him to do" said Harris dis
missal was for "the betterment of
the team. We would have headed
for the bottom of the National
League unless the change was made" "

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-The
usually private maneuverings which
precede dismissal of a big league
manager were on display today in
the case of Bucky Harris VS.. the
Philadelphia Phillies, much like
laundry on line.
Baseball fans who had been won-
dering since last Tuesday why the
Phillies fired Harris-Without telling
him about it in .advance-had the
wocs of Phillies' President William
D. Cox that he was not going, to
sit around and watch the team under
Harris management slip into the
cellar"
And, among other things, they
were informed by Harris that Cox
had assured him a week before the
custer that no managerial change
would be made; that several weeks
earlier Harris, as member of the
Phillies' Board of Directors, had ad-
vocated s20,000-a-year salary in
crease for Cox.
Cox's Statement Due Monday.
1t all came out yesterday when
Harris, returning from st. Louis,
where he was replaced by Fred
Fitzsimmons, told reporters in a
lengthy interview that in his opinion
Cox's statement of no managerial
change was a deliberate lie"
In Chicago, where he was re-
ported negotiating for Pitchers Paul
Derringer and Bill Lee, Cox hotly
retorted that Harris had promised
not to issue any independent state
ment, and added: Now you can see
how Mr.. Harris keeps his word"
Cox said he would issue a formal
statement here Monday in reply to
Harris. and that in the meantime
he is acting on the theory that if
YOU give Harris enough rope he'll
hang himself"
Recounting the events preceding
his custer, Harris said he had at
tended as a member every meeting
of the Board of Directors prior to
the July Is session at which the
change was planned. At one session
six or eight weeks earlier, he said,
1t was proposed that the presidents
salary be boosted from $4,000 to
$25 900 year.

II don't feel bad about it, because
wouldn't have met my wife if that
line drive hadn't hit me- You see,
that line drive gave me the sore
arm, and the sore arm finished me
as a pitcher for a while. So had
to take up teaching school. My first
assignment was teaching physics,
chemistry and biology at Tabor City,
N. C. Teaching in the same high
school was the girl who became Mrs.
Scarborough"
Rae was the hottest scholastic
and collegiate pitcher in the South
at one time. During his college
career from to 10 scouts attended
every game. After every contest he
told at least one of them he was
determined to get through Wake
Forest, to finish his college educa-
ton before going into professional
baseball.
That didn't stop them. They kept
coming TO watch him pitch, and the
more they saw of him the better
they liked him. The Philadelphia
Athletics offered Rae $4,000 for his
signature and showed him clause
in a contract they had drawn up
whereby he couldn't be farmed out
for three years. He could step di-
rect from the Wake Forest campus
into Shibe Park and he'd remain in
an AS uniform for at least three
years at splendid salary.
Rae rejected it because he liked
that New York offer. Who
Wouldn't" asks Scarborough. They
were winning pennants every year,
and I had a contract that called for
sticking with EN- for two years.

Deal for Farkas Off,

SAN DIEGO, Calf, july 81
Anvil Andy Farkas, the unwanted
backf1eld man Of professional foot
ball taking rap Of 5000 for every
week he fails to show up at the
Washington Redskins training
camp, won't play with New York's
Giants this year.
Jack Mara, Giant owner, today
wired Redskin President George
Marshall a fat refusal of the offer
to trade Farkas for Leemans. "Sor-
ry, not interested as Leemans is our
backfleld COACH" Mara said.
Offers to trade Farkas now have
been turned down by Detroit, Brook
lyn and New York and no further
move toward disposing of Andy is
in prospect, according to Redskin Of
ficials.
Farkas Expected In Chicago.
The feeling persists, however, that
Andy will show up in good shape at
Chicago to play in the All-Star
game. Marshall remains adamant
on the 5000 week fine, though. If
Andy doesn't appear until the team
reaches Chicago on August 10, 1t
will cost him around $700, which
will be split among the other players.
Coach Arthur (Dutch) Bergman's
new offensive stood revealed today
as strictly razzle-dazzle stuff of the
kind the Redskins didn't get under
Ray Flaherty, former mentor, now
in the Navy Bergman put on more
of the behind-the- line tricky ball
passing that he started yesterday in
his first showing of what he in
tends to use in league games this
year.
ITS different from the stuff we
had under Flaherty," said Fullback
Boo Seymour. Ray used straight
football"
With Sammy Baugh and Roy
Zimmerman as pivot men, Berg
man is tossing a lot of reverses,
cross-bucks, spinners and power
end-around plays at the Redskins,
always with Baugh in there with the
threat that he will wheel and toss
one of his patented touchdown
passes.
Tackle Problem Eased.
The razzle dazzle stuff looks good,
but its efficiency won't be known
until the Shrine game here August
Is. BY that time the squad should
be fairly we'll stepped in the variety
of tricky stuff they haven't had
since college days.

veteran guards, may be shifted to

off as to guards, but short on

BIuege's Weird Handling Puts
Mats Back in Victory Stride
nightcap, Sc

Manager Ossie Bluege has con-
cocted weird but effective formula
for checking the Mats skid. 1t con-
sists Of taking one slightly used in
fielder hitting 1874, making an out
fielder of him and inserting him in
the cleanup spot In the batting
order, then dispatching a pitcher to
the mound who can pitch.
Alex Kampouris was the key char
acter as Bluege rearranged the Mats
features last night at Griffith Sta
dium. Customarily a second base
man in the National League, Kam-
pouris was a disappointment at third
base for the Mats. In his first game
as Washington Outfielder Kam-
pouris distinguished himself with
three nice catches but he didn't re-
semble No. hitter. He didn't
get hit.

Kampouris was in the outfeld be-
cause Bluege got around to benching
Center Fielder Stan Spence, who
isn't hitting. Ossie moved George
Case from right field to left, shifted
Gene Moore from left to center, in
structed Kampouris to play right
field and, 10, the Mats have become
winners again.
To Pitcher Early Wynn, however,
the Mats owe large vote of thanks
for fracturing their four-game los
ing streak. Wynn registered his
10th victory by unleashing nifty
five-hit effort to trim the White sox,

Wynn, who has lost brace of 20
decisions this season in addition to

hit until one was out in the fifth
inning, when Jimmy Webb poked a
single to left. He didn't yield a run
until the eighth and by that time
the Mats had compiled 40 lead,
due no little to Wynn's conduct with
bat in his hands.
After Angelo Giuliani tripled to
right in the third inning Wynn
fetched him across with a sharp
single to right. The husky pitcher
also singled with one out in the fifth
to launch 2-run outburst.
