There was lot of poor quality

Those were gobs of dough far in
excess of the hunks collected by
players far superior to those who
took part in the hilarious exhibi-

Bill Terry, former great first sack
er and manager of the New York
Giants, went so far as to say the
Tigers and the Cubs of wartime
grade were "the worst teams that
every played in World Series"
Yet there were many who could
not believe that. Particularly the
blind servicemen from Dibble Hos

brought to the series as guests of a
West Coast newspaper. One of them
remarked on the eve of the last day

Micko, Great Defensive Back,
Needs Ia Pounds More Heft
BY LEWIS r. ATCHIsoN

Married life with it's home cooking
usually puts weight on man, but
because it hasn't worked out that
way in Mike Micka's case the Red
skin back is having more than his
share of woe this season.
Down to 176 pounds from the
trim 100 he sported last year, the
Colgate Kid" frankly doesn't pack
enough weight to play the tough
role of backing up line. He hits
'em and bounces off, or clamps
on neck lock and brings 'em down
eventually from sheer strangulation,
but only after the ball carrier has
picked up precious yardage.
You wouldn't want a better de-
fensive back than Black Mike" at
least Coach Dud De Groot doesn't.
He's smart. aggressive and fast and
covers more territory than a travel
ing salesman. But the weight prob
lem is beginning to take its toll
Mike is being pounded like Cub
pitcher simply because opposition
ball carriers are bigger than he.
Il don't know what the trouble
is he was telling us today. Feel
fine and eat like a roomful of
hungry kids, but I'm not putting on
weight the way I thought I would.
I'm gaining. though he added
hopefully. up to l76 now and I'll
lay money it will be 1870 by the
end of the month"
Micka's lost avoirdupois disap-
peared sometime during the sum-
mer while he was working in a war
plant. He's still tough and rugged
but when he meets up with an
equally rugged character with a
25-pound weight advantage Juggling
a football under his arm, it's a
plain case of mismatching.

IContinetti Works Waly
Through Maryland
lAs Blair Coach
By BOB MCLEAN.

Here's a new way to work your
way through college-and without
selling magazines. Reno Continetti,
a student of the University of Mary
land, discovered it and recommends
the system to any one who doesn't
mind working IA hours a day.
Three years ago, at the age Of
10, Continetti got a job as coach of
athletics at Montgomery Blair High
School and since then he has made
the school one of the rising sports
powers in the suburban area. And
all the time he was able to keep up
his studies at Maryland, as the uni
versityF co-operated in arranging
early morning and late evening
classes for him.
Continetti graduates this year, but
first he has seen the ambition Of
three years work at Blair realized.
The school has football team this
season for the first time in its his
tory and Reno, at the advanced age
OF %, Is head coach. He also is line
coach, backfield mentor and water
boy, and he thinks he has a winner.
So do Blair students who have gone
for football in big way.
None of the boys ever had played
football before. But in their first
game last week, they beat Falls
Church, 60, and go into tonight's
clash with Mount Vernon on the
Virginians' grid as the favorites.
Continetti, an excellent lineman
at George Washington for two years
and at Maryland for one, doesn't
regret that his work keeps him off
the present Terp eleven, where he
could make the grade as a guard.
| There is more of a kick in teach
ing the game to youngsters" he
says. I'm trying to get them off
to a good start in their football
careers and they, in turn. are help
ing me build the basis for my own
career as a coach
| The young coach's material on
Blair's first football team may be
inexperienced, but already it is be-
ginning to show promise. CONT
netti has started the boys off with

hopes TO teach them the more COM

Griff Among Tiger Supporters
Now Pouring 1t on Prophets
By JOHN II. KELLER

Now that the 1945 World Series is
q matter of history, the guys with
, the last laughs-those few who
picked Detroit's Tigers to win-really
= are uproarious.
And none is more so that Clark
Griffith, whose greatest antipathy of
the last As years has been the Ma
tional League.
You wouldn't listen to me-" said
the president of Washingtons Mats
between tremendous outlaws. IT told
you before you went West that the
Tigers would do it. I told you there
wasn't any club in the National
League good enough to beat any one
of the first seven clubs in the Amer
lean League" Griffith recalled. But
you wouldn't listen to me.
And now by your own admission,
the National League must have been
an awful league. Well, you're right
this time, for once" The Mats prexy
thrust that barb home. But you
wouldn't listen to me-"
We had picked the Chicago Cubs
10 win the World Series in six games.
And we had to take it. After all. we
had been wrong for some time. We
had picked the Mats to finish last
this year in the American League.
And they loused us up by coming
pretty close to bagging the pennant.
Cubs Lot Stronger on Paper.
Maybe If Griffith had been a trif1e
more careful in arranging their
schedule, we'd be Growing over the
Mats win of the world champion
ship.
But, honestly, those National
League averages fooled us. Here
was collection of Cubs with a bat
ting average 20 points better, man
for man, than the Tigers through
their league championship cam
paigns. And the Cubs pitchers, on
their National League records, were
q much stronger corps than the
Tigers had ready for the series.
Well, the Cubs did outbat the
Tigers in the World Series, 1853 to
,223. But the Cubs were outscored,
81 runs to %. No matter what the
Cubs did, the Tigers did better out
side the batting average. And above
all, the Tigers won four games of
the seven through the fantastic
post-season competition.
1t all boils down to this. The
Tigers had trif1e better pitching
when runners were in scoring po-
sition. And that is enough to win
over a stretch of games any time.
But we could not believe it until
we saw it, it seems.
