.Cronin Plays
 .ItVerySafe

Washington, Sept. (UP - Manager Joe Cronin of the pen nant bound Boston Red Sox made startling confession today.
 He admitted that this is Friday.
 Then he clanained up completely. Not even the harshest sort of in- quisition could force him to own up that his fabulous Fenway fusi- Hers are, in a manner of speaking, '.in."
 Joe simply is playing safe.
 At this sitting, the Red Sox are mere l6 and 8 half games in front of the second-place New York Yankees who now are barely visi- ble on the radarscope. But anything can happen between now and next week when the Sox clinch the pen nant beyond all mathematical doubt. It might even snow in Miami.
 No Loose Talk
 Anyway, Cronin isn't taking any chances with loose talk.
 He had just masterminded the Sox to victory over father-in-law Clark Griffith's Washington Sen ators; the eighth straight Boston triumph. That pulled the Red Sox to within only four games of clinching the pennant.
 Joe sat down in the clubhouse looking like a condemned man condemned to bring Boston its first flag since 1918.

Horse Show Next Month

New York, Sept. 6-Prize lists for the 58th National Horse Show, which returns to Madison Square Garden, Nov. 4-9, with its exciting international military jumping con- tests after four year war lapse, are now being mailed to exhibitors throughout the country, It. Col. Whitney Stone, president, announc- ed today.
 In addition to the military jump ing events, which will be held night ly and at four of the six matinees, all the other fixtures of past years are scheduled for the six day spec tacle and several new events have been added, said Col. Stone.
 Officials of the show are expect ing record breaking entry this fall, not only because this the first Ma tional since 1941 but because prac- t1cally every outdoor horse show this season has had far more entries than were expected. While figures are not available, horse show people in general believe that the number of riders has greatly increased dur ing the war years, Col. Stone said In this connection he urged pros- pective exhibitors to get their en- tries in early, as well as stall reSer- vationS. Entries will close Oct. 8. The prize list schedules 93 compe- titive events and calls for afternoon and evening sessions on each of the six days as well as eliminations each morning.

Major Schedule
 Increase Dropped

St. Louis, Sept. 6-(UP)-Sid, c. Keener, sports editor of the St. Louis Star-Times, today revealed that major league club owners have scrapped an earlier plan to increase their playing schedule to 168 games in 1947.
 Quoting an official source" Keen CT said that the magnates would ad- here to their standard scale of 154 contests, and that an official an- nouncement to that effect would be made within day or so.
 The matter came up, according to the writer, during the recent joint conference in Chicago and the owri- CTS seemed impressed with the idea to add receipts to turnstile totals.
 Also, they hoped to balance the budget-With an increased item of minimum player salaries of 5000 per year.
 The various owners agreed to sub init the suggestion to a secret vote, and now the hayes have carried the point. There will be no official tab ulation announced to the public, however

Many Connecticut Boys Seek Yale Varsity Posts

Washington, Conn, Sept 6-By shifting couple of men from their probable precincts-something Yale Coach Howard Odell might do be- fore the season IS very old-the Eli mentor could field a pretty fair team for the Blue this Fall by using only Connecticut residents.
 AS the Ellis wound up their first week of preseason practice today at the Gunnery School here, there was 8 group of Connecticut resi- dents who continued to make a determined bid for places on the varsity squad, which will be named shortly before the Ellis tangle in the opener of the campaign with Kings Point on September 28 in the Bowl.

 The Sox tailed their lonely win ming run in the second inning of1 Washington's Ray Scarborough on e triple by Bobby Doerr and single by Glen Russell.

 We'll Stocked With Backs
Bv VIM MAIONEY. JR.

Crosby and Leavenworth held their first official football prac- tices at the Municipal Stadium yes- terday afternoon while Wilby was forced to postpone their season drills until their new uniforms ar- rive. Each school had about IS boys trying out in their respective camps with good number of veterans coming back.
 Coach Bill Tracy of Leavenworth has @ wealth of backfield talent to bolster his 1946 combine in Nick LoRusso, Steve Perrone, Paul Ian- naccone, Ed Bowman, Joe Massot- ta and Frank Ciampi, just back from the Navy. Tracy thinks these boys will shape into one of the best backfield teams in the Naugatuck Valley while his line remains the big question mark.
 In the way of filling out the for ward wall the Big Red mentor has Hank" Rinaldi, promising can- didate for one of the tackle posts, and Sherman Thurston, 8 transfer student from Coventry High in Rhode Island for one of the end berths. Outside of these two lads Tracy wouldn't comment too much on other front wall candidates.
 When asked how his teams chances looked after the first day of practice Coach Tracy said: If can develop strong line to sup port and open the way for the backfield we ought to click this sea- son. We've got our fingers crossedl"
 Crosby's football coach, Jimmy Lee, had approximately 75 boys working out under the experienced eyes of himself and his assistants. Dom Rosa, former backfield star, and Jimmy Pickett, former Crosby and Cheshire Academy star. Of the 75 trying out, 55 will be carried by the Ivy mentor during the season.
 In the backfield Lee has Bernie Lawlor at fullback, John Chick" Kelley, Jr., and Chick McWilliams at halfback and Johnny "Whizzer" White at quarterback. All are pros- pective candidates for the posts mentioned as they all have played a year or more in past years. Tn the line the Ivy mentor has Nick Casertano and Gene Gilhooley, two veterans who showed promise last season. Outside of this the squad will have to be built from the ma- terial on hand and as Coach Lee puts 1t, "the future looks bright" !" Both squads will start scrimmag- ing at the Stadium next week as the two coaches start trimming their teams down to the number they intend carrying for the sea- son which will be about five full 1 squads.

By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 6-One win one loss and one bye was the base ball record of Waterbury's City Amateur league champion Franco American club, as 1t headed into its fourth round aT-American tourna- ment test at II A. M. today against a classy American Legion outfit from Valley Stream, Long Island, N. Y.
 Both teams have lost one game, the Long Islanders to Baltimore's Cowap Freighters by a 4-3 score yesterday at about the same time the Franco Americans had a To sixth inning lead, only to lose 6 A game because of one bad in ming in which three singles, sacri- flee bunt and an error on a pos sible double play ball let in four runs which decided the ball game right then and there. Waterbury got one run back in the eighth in- ming, when Jimmy Piersall whose defensive play was spectacular all through the game, drove in the sec ond and last run for the Frances. Piersall's all around play in this tournament has half dozen major league baseball scouts on his trail since he first came to Harrisburg last Tuesday.
 Manager "Skeets" Leblanc decid- ed on Walter (Breezy) Bezrudzyk, a right handed who has been going well for the Franco-A Americans all season, as the starting pitcher in the all important game today which means elimination if the Water bury boys lose, while a victory will move them right into quarter-f final competition as there were but three undefeated teams of IT original en- tries when yesterdays baseballing began. By this afternoon, the Frances will be homeward bound or remaining right in the thick of the championship tournament near the end of the best season the club has ever known since 1t first became interested in sports.
 Mike Kisko's one-htt pitching for five innings, catcher Benny Martel's hitting and Piersalls fielding were the three bright spots of the losing club Thursday to Elkton, Maryland.

Harrisburg 

It goes without too much explain ation that 8 baseball team that comes from behind" to win 8 game by a score of 20 to 3 in 61a innings of actual play should attract more than passing attention; which is what happened when the Water bury F'ranco-AmericanS win over Spring Grove, Maryland, was post ed on the hotel lobby scoreboard at tournament headquarters.
 Veteran AAABA officials, tthe organization is three years Old) could not recall any such high-scOr- ing in less than full g inning games, since the first All-American base ball tournament was staged in Baltimore in 1944, sponsored by Glenn L. Martin, multi millionaire airplane manufacturer and designer.
 The Frances had it" when need ed most, for they won the toss bat ted last, but saw the Maryland Medicos tee of on their starting pitcher for three runs; which came on walk, infield hit that could have been easily handled but which went cleanly between first and sec ond base on the ground, and home run that was made possible when the hard-hit ball by Merson, Spring Grove Shortstop rolled down the concrete stairs of high school with bunch of teen-agers of bicycles also hindering the outfielder from recovering the ball.
 Leavenworth's Jimmy Piersan, east end boy with the Brooklyn A. c. in the city amateur league had the good luck to have his parents as eye-witnesses of his eye-filAng triple to right centerfield, which scored one of the four first inning Franco American runs. Every move the boy makes at bat or in the field seems as natural as sunrise.
 Pat Doran and Jack Howard, the tournament twins" who have flat tened out hotel lobby chairs in a half dozen tournament cities visited by Waterbury teams, are on hand once more, enjoying every minute of their time away from home but with the home town boys. MT Towards Connecticut cigars are quite acceptable to some of the stogie smokers, the writer not ex- cepted, for the 35 cent cabbage leaves on sale hereabouts would be spurned by Cowboy Healy and Gumba, his social secretary at the first opportunity.
 Larry St. Louis, Tribune A. c. packer and 1945 Harrisburg finan- cial campaign chairman, and his side-kick Bert Bowen, both of whom have missed few City Amateur and Brassco games this season would have been in a seventh heav- en to see 8 Waterbury team go SC well as the Franco Americans did today. MT. St. Louis, incidentally is sponsoring the WATR broadcasts of Waterbury's entry in the All American tournament which have alerted the baseball fans back home more than little, according to re- ports from a responsible source.
