Boston, Nov. 7.-CUP) -Basebalrs master magician, Billy Southworth. who guided the St. Louis Cardinals to three successive National league pennants, was faced today with the challenge of pulling from his tall silk hat the Boston Braves first flag in three decades.
 The 52-year old diamond wizard was manager of the loWly Braves last night at yearly salary report edly between $25,00O and $3O0OO- perhaps the highest in the senior loop. General Manager John Quinn Of the Braves said the contract. which Southworth will sign today, was for more than one year"
 Released at his own request from his l946 St. Louis contract, South worth returns to Braves field, scene or his playing days, to succeed Del Blssonette, who will take another Job in the Braves system.
 Owner Sam Breadon of the Cards said he was sorry to lose the dia- m0ld-Wise manager who had piloted his St. Louis club to the worlds championship in l942 and again in 1914.
 SouthWorth was one of the few not mentioned for the Braves job Among those believed in line for the post were Charles (Gabby) Hartnett, Bill Meyer. Joe Mccarthy Leo Durocher and Frankie Frisch.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer

New York, Nov. 7-(UP)-Jack Dempsey, who started his fighting career as a lean and hungry hobo today needed only to sign the con- tract to have a lifetime $250,000-a- year-job as president of a concern which will televise boxing shows, &C., cording to Max WaXman. his busi- ness manager.
 Dempsey, in Birmingham, Ala, on a bond-selling tour, said we're not at liberty to say anything until I get out of the service sometime between Nov. "A and Dec. 1.' Dempsey, a Coast Guard commander, went into service four years ago.
 The former heavyweight king, now 50, said he believed the con- tract would be for 10 years-"but that's something we'll talk about after I'm out"
 Waxman, in New York. was more voluble.
 "The television company is a new ly-organized branch of one of the nations largest advertising agenc- ies," he said. They want Dempsey to sign for life, but whether he'll make such a blanket tie-up I'm not certain

 Terms of the contract would in volye the setting up of Dempsey as major competitor to Mike Jacobs as a fight promoter. Jacobs con- trols fights at Madison Square Gar den. WaXman said that Dempsey's duties as supervisor of the teleVision company would include promotion of important bouts in New York

Although Scovill Company came back to win the next two games, 15-11, 15-12, they were forced into a first place tie with Waterbury Companies who also took three games from Bristol Con- pany, 15-0, 15-3, 15-2.
 The U. s. Rubber and Scovill matches were by far the outstand- ing games of the entire season and took one hour and fifteen minutes of playing time. Much improved over their play of the beginning of the season, Rubber Co., should go on to take Chase next week with little trouble.
 In the two other games of the evening, Chase Metal took three games from Benrus by forfeit while U. s. Rubber added three more wins to their record by downing Bristol Go. in a makeup match, 15-l, 15-5, 15-4.

Crosby Swimmers Troinine For Busy Tank Schedule
BY JOHN A. CLuNEY

Having slowly but surely condi- toned his Crosby High School swim mers for ten water meets that will get under way next January Coach J. O. P. Manherz, whose squads have been consistently good and of cham pionship calibre year after year, feels that the newest squad of CHS splashers will hold their own with plenty of keen competitors lined up for it.
 From last seasons classy combine which bowed only t. Larry Amann's Hartford High array, Manherz has Fred Lux, Jr.; Bill Skiff, Gordon Gibson, and Joe Lombard as a nucleus for another good team, which may develop championship possibilities, either as a team or among it's individuals.
 In addition to the boys named, there is Joe Lux, Richard Gibson and Bob Miller who will be seen in the 40 and 100 yard sprints, breast stroke and the 220 distance swim; with two out-of- town boys, Shea of Southington and Bates of Middle bury as promising candidates to strengthen the team.
 For the coming season which opens for Crosby January Il against East Haven in the Crosby tank, and finishes with the Yale Interscho- lasticS March Is, the Manherzmen will be particularly strong in the backstrokL event as the Crosby coach feels that, in Randy Duphiney, now playing Crosby football and young Dick Skiff, sophomore, he has two lace" competitors with Bill Steck, brother of Crosbys Jimmy Steck, also apt to go very well in back stroke competition.
 Big Problem
 Diving is the principal problem, with no 1944-45 entry to count on. Phil Fecteau, Jr.; son of the locally famous South End football tackle; Harris and Herbie Hayes are prom iSing candidates for diving honorS at this time.

It remained for Brother Branch Hickey of Brooklyn, he of the soft word that turneth away wrath and a religious and business mind that functions like steel trap, to "call the turn" that some mighty big men did not have tht intestinal fortitude to make an issue of, and that includes one of the grestest, fairest and best base ball figures of all time-the late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.

TuIone's Little Monk Simons
 Coach of Week
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer

New York, Nov. T. (UP)-Football fans were beginning to ask ques- tions. Why, they wanted to know, didn't he go back to the single wing when his boys were slightly less than terrific in using the TT"
 He had an answer to that ques- tion, but the curious had to wait until last Saturday. That was when his almost forgotten squad rose to engineer the number one upset in Dixie this season. Today he's the United Press coach of the week, Claude Gittle Monk Simons Of Tulane.
 The resurgent Green wave swept to glory with IA to l3 victory over Mississippi States madeap Maroons, who had visions of going through the season all yictoriously And simons "just knew that Tulane was going to pull the upset--he had a feeling.
 "Once our boys say they could win that game, they wouldn't take no for an answer" he said. They never lost their confidence even when State was driving toward the goal late in the game. Now in the future, we'll have more confidence and lot of valuable experience, but we face some pretty tough customers yet-Georgia Tech, Notre Dame. and Louisiana State. WheW
 Tulane was figured to be a po- tentially good team, but didn { click Victor over only comparatively weak Southern Methodist in four games, the Greenies weren't supposed to come within two or three touch downs of Mississippi state.
 Even so it was no easy victory The Greenies had to come rom behind twice. Tn the first period aft CT State had made 1t to 0, Tulane scored on a 43Ayard pass from Ernie Crouch to Dick Hoot. A cool boot by place kicker Harry Levonian, who does nothing else. put Tulane ahead and 1t Vas Leyonian who provided the margin of victory in the third period after Dave Rideout had gone over to climax an 82-yard drive and tie the score,
 #sure We got a lot of criticism when we weren't winning" Simons said. Folks asked why we didn't % back to the single wing, but said thought the "T' was the best for our material and so I stuck to it."
 gimOns, called Little Monk" out of respect for his father, Big Monk" Slmons. who was Tulane trainer from 1920 until he died in lD4s, has no hobbies put football. gie has a deep affection for his playefs and is close to each one Individually. For hours, late every niRht, after his days work on the seld, he sits up writing letters to M~Tulane players. He averages TO letters day and the boys cor- respond from all over the world.
 The s7-year-old Simons, who loves
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-07

Tulane "because it is home" grew up on the campus. He progressed in easy stages from mascot to back field star to backfield coach and finally to head man when Red Daw- son left in l942.
 Tn 1884, his last year as a player he sscored in every one of Tulane's nine games and made the winning touchdown in seven. He sparked the team to a last half, 20 to IA vic tory over Temple in the Sugar Bowl inaugural on New Years day, After that he went to Pennsylvania to coach until 1888 when he returned to Tulane. Now his whole life re- wolves about the place, He married his eo-ed sweetheart and has two sons, seven and two.
 Getting the boys in tune for a big game is no job because they like him so well they will run their legs off to win for him. The talk in the dressing room before games, after practice and between halves is strictly football. He makes no emotional appeals, but he's a pretty emotional fellow.
 When defeats come, as inevitably they do, 1t is Simons, who shoulders the blame. A hard loser, he cries unashamedly. but victory puts a splitting smile on his lips. Aft- CT the State game he ran all over the dressing room, cutting up with the boys, skipping them on their backs and generally letting go"
 And he's no Morris chair coach either. Tn practice he works very closely with his backs, kicking with the rest in punt drills, which are on a competitive basis. The fellows who fail to get the required dis- tance take the usual penalty-one or two laps around the track. And it's no novelty to see Simons jogging along after most of the players have gone to the dressing rooms,
 That would be on a day when his own punts fell short. which isn't very often.
