 NEW YORK, Sept. 24-If you can believe all you hear, things are going to be very tough for big league baseball manager in the next couple of months-and the shakeup in their ranks is nothing compared to what will happen to their ball clubs next spring
 Sc far this season, Joe Mccarthy, Bill Dickey, Luke Sewell, Jimmie Dykes and Bill MeKenchmie have gone out. Zach Taylor, Sewell s successor, will give way to Muddy Ruel next season.
 The reports are that Frank Frisch is through in Pittsburgh.
 The Tanks are expected to come up with a new pilot for 1947- possibly Leo Drocher or Bucky Har- ris-to supplant Johnny Neun-and there's been lot of talk about a change in Cleveland since the club changed hands; and there even have been whiffers that Connie Mack is losing his popularity in Philadelphia and that Joe Cronin might move up to the Red Sox front office
 Apparently the only guys who are safe now are Ruel and Steve ONeill, who already has been signed by Detroit for next season.

HURLERS FOR
 CARDS GIVE
 REAL PUNCH
By RALPH RIDDEN ZAP Sports Writer)

The lineup of the St. Louis Car dinals is studded with some of the best hitters in the National League hut in the last three victories gain ed by the league leaders the pitch CTS have supplied the punch at the plate.
 Relief hurler Ted Wipks helped bat the Cards to victory Thursday at Boston; Saturday it was little Murry Dickson who singled and sped home with the winning run in the ninth inning at Chicago, and yesterday Harry "The Cat Ere cheen pitched and batted the Birds to a 10 victory over the Cubs at Chicago.
 Brecheen singled home battery mate Joe Garagiola in the third in ming with the only run of the game as the Cards protected their slim half-game margin over the Brook lyn Dodgers, who trimmed the Phil adelphia Phillies 6-1 at Ebbets Field
 The Dodgers and Phils engaged in a tight contest until the eighth inning, when the Brooks broke the game wide open by scoring five runs on two walks, four hits and a long fly
 Today, the Dodgers meet the Phils again, while the Cards battle the Cincinnati Reds under the lights at St. Louis.
 The Cards have five games left to play, while the Dodgers have only four If the two teams tie for the lead, three game playoff for the championship will be held.

 from Sifka

SITKA, Alaska, Sept 2l.-(Spec- ial Correspondence) - A perman- ent Library building for Sitka was proposed and enthusiastically sup ported as an immediate project at the Rotary luncheon last Tuesday. Suggestions offered by members were: that the city donate a piece of city property; a Quonset Hut be acquired for immediate use; a per manent fire proof building be con- structed as a Memorial for World Wars I and II.
 The Sitka Library Association was formed in 1924 and the books housed in a back room of the old Customs House, located on the pres ent site of the Kettleson Building. When the building burned during the night ten years ago, only books saved were the few hundred out on circulation Those few, with the addition of several dozen do- mated by toWnSpeople, were moved into Calvin's Store on Maksoutoff Street where the Library remain ed until quarters were rented in the Russian Orphanage Building.
 When the Federal Building was completed, a small room on the second floor was given the Library but within a short time the space was needed for the Travel Permit Office. Again the Library was moved, this time to the newly com pleted High School Building, where it has remained to this day.
 Now, with the serious crowding in 10th schools, due to the growth of the town, the Library room is badly needed for classes. The Li- brary now consists of approximately 4500 volumes, plus the valuable c. L. Andrews collection of historical books and records being purchased for the community by the Rotary Club, and now stored at the Fire Hall.
 Each Library move has been a costly one-in drayage and in build ing new shelves. The job of pack ing and unpacking, sorting and shelving the books has in each case been done by three or four women on the Library Board, an exhaust ing process which they have sworn never to attempt again.
 With Rotary's outstanding record of past achievement, the adoption of the Library Building plan prac- tically assures the community of a permanent location for their wan dering library

 A $20,000 post-season playoff in the Pacific Coast baseball league gets under way tomorrow night with the pennant- winning San Francisco Seals playing host to third-place Hollywood and run ner-up Oakland meeting Los An geles at the Angel Park
 They will play tomorrow, Thurs day and Friday nights, then switch to Hollywood and Oakland for nine inning doubleheaders on Sunday Further games will be played on succeeding nights if needed to de- eide the four out of seven series.
 Winners will then battle for the Governors Cup.
 The playoffs mean real money to the top teams In 1886, when they were inaugurated, they drew 73,000 paid admissions. Last season, 120000 attended.
 San Francisco fans are wonder ing if their Seals can make it four playoffs trophies in a row In 1943, 1914 and 1945 they missed the pennant but won the playoffs.

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-A new era in Yankee baseball history was .ushered in today as Red Ruffing and Bill Dickey, one of the game s foremost batteries when they had it, found themselves severed from the New York organization.
 With the passing of Rufus the Red who had one of baseball's best fast balls when he came to the Tanks 16 years ago, and Big Bill, a great catcher by any comparison, via the free agency route, only two play CTS remained on the Tanks who can boast they once played on the same team with the immortal Babe Ruth.
 And even these two, infielder Frankie Crosetti and relief hurler Johnny Grandma Murphy, may not be with the club next spring when President Larry MacPhail once again feels the call of the tropics.

tour to survey the food needs of war
Impoverished countries was not COM
pleted before the Atlantic City session
of UNRRA opened, that the situation
might be better understood and the
delegates have the benefit of his recon-

As it is, Mr.. Hoover has but started
and the UNRRA convention is founder
ing in a mass Of conflicting proposals
while stark famine in Europe and Asia
spreads to wider frontiers with every
days passage.
The delegates at Atlantic City are
devoting their time to discussions of
representation, committees, delegations,
authority, and apparently making no
progress on a program to get food into
the stomachs of starving millions. This
is as Intellectual in appeasing hunger
as our own congressional policy has
been in controlling labor.

Americas Card Authority

At the recent tournament ir
Memphis, Tenn, Mrs. Cornelia
Ellis acted as chairman of the
entertainment committee and die
a splendid job, as she did in de-
tense of today's hand. This hano
came up in rubber game that
started in the wee hours Of the
morning after the tournament was
over.
AS clubs had been bid by East,
Mrs. Ellis did not open that suit,
but led the ten of spades. Declarer
won with the queen, then took the
heart finesse, which North won.
A spade was returned, declarer
won, and in order to establish nine
tricks, he had to knock out the
club ace. When Mrs. Ellis won
this, she could count three spade
tricks for the declarer, three heart
tricks and at least three club
tricks-enough for game.
Her only chance to defeat the
contract was to find her partner
with the ace and jack of diamonds,
SO she laid down the diamond
king, and upon holding the trick,
continued the diamond.
Thus she set the contract. North
could have made it easier for
Mrs. Ellis by shifting to the dia-
mond when he was in with the
queen OF hearts.
