Buck Insists On Front
 Office Job
By MILTON HICKMAN fTJnifed Press Sports Writer)

New York, Oct. 24-CUP)-Stan- ley (Bucky) Harris, 50-year-old former 'eboy wonder" who prefers front office job to being an active manager, realizes on which side his baseball bread is buttered.
 The former big league second- baseman, currently in the New York Yankee front office, has said that he has ''worn 8 baseball unl- form for the last time." Harris wore uniforms from 1915 until 1943, total of 28 years. During that time he was manager of the Wash ington Senators, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies.
 Prior to entering the Yankee front office shortly before the close of the past season, the wavy- haired Harris served as general manager for the Buffalo BisonS in the International league three seasons. He conf1ded that he pre- ferred front-off1ce work to running club from the bench.
 Harris gained the nickname "boy wonder" when he was named pilot of the Senators in 1924 at the age of 28. He then went on to lead the | Senators to two consecutive Ameri- can league pennants. In 1924 his Washington Club defeated the New York Giants in the World Series and in 1925 Harris charges bowed to the Pittsburgh Pirates in seven games.
 One of the most popular ath- letes in the game. Bucky was special favorite of Clark Griffith, owner of the Senators. "Griff' Cried At the end of the 1928 season, when the Senators fortunes had dipped sharply, Griffith summoned Bucky to his office. Harris real iZed the reason for the summons before he even stepped inside the door.
 Stanley" Griffith began in an unsteady tone, I'm afraid you won't be with us next season."
 Tears started to come from Grit fith's eyes and Harris quickly re- piled:
 That's all right, MT. Griffith. I understand how it is."
 He then walked straight from the 1 office.
 Harris was traded to Detroit for infieider Jackie Warner and Bucky became the new manager of the Tigers After piloting the Bengals | f0r five Io1s-ic a+ fhn helm of the Boston Red Sox for the 1884 campaign. When Joe Cronin left the Senators to become manager of the Red Sox in Octo- Der, 1884, Griffith re-hired Harris as Washington pilot. Bucky re- mained at that post through 1942. Fired By Cox Next year found him managing the Phillies. When he failed to see eye-to-eye with owner Bill Cox, Harris was dismissed during the 1943 season. Later, Cox himself was given the heave-ho from base ball by the late Commissioner K. M. Landis, who charged Cox had wagered on the Phillies.
 Harris didn't remain idle long He soon received an offer to work in the Buffalo front-off1ce which he accepted. Bucky then went on rec ord as saying that he was far more satisfied with an executive-type job than that of manager.
 When the Yankees fetched him from the minors, President Larry MacPhail was lauded for having made srrewd maneuver. Mac Phail, whose mind is subject to change without notice, said Harris was not being considered as @ managerial candidate.
 Harris probably will make cer- tain that decision was final.

Lucky Draw, Neor-Cripple; Made Good
By RAY AYRES United Pres Sports Writer

New York, Oct. 24-(UP)-Even Lucky Draw, the record buster, isn't fast enough to be in two places at the same time so'the speedy gelding probably will pas up the $75,00O Gallant Fox Handicap at Jamaica Saturday and shoot for his seventh track record in the $50,000 Tren- ton Handicap at Garden State Park.
 It will take lot of running to lower the mile and an eighth stand ard at the New Jersey course for Bon Tour turned in a creditable 1:49 performance for the distance on Aug. 26, 1944.
 But six other impressive records failed to stand up when George D. Widener's flve-year-old roared through the stretch like thunder bolt. Even records held by Man O'War and Sir Barton were wiped off the books.
 Heavy Load
 Lucky Draw will carry 130 pounds if he starts in the Trenton, the highest impost he has been asked to shoulder. His chief rival will be the rejuvenated Seven Hearts who came back to the races after year in stud and included three stakes among his six victories.
 Seven Hearts will be asked to carry 121 pounds while Polynesian, CO., holder of the world record for six furlongs, is in at 123. Armed also is eligible for the stake but Calu- met Farms gelding is doubtful starter under 130 pounds.
 If the Widener board of strategy decides to keep Lucky Draw in New York for the Gallant Fox he will be asked to carry 129 pounds 8 mile and five furlongS, conceding three pounds to Stymie and four to Pavot. The record for the distance is 2:43, set by Isolator in 1889 and equaled by Princequillo in 1944.
 Lucky Draw has never been asked to carry his speed that far and would tangle with two of the best reuters in training. He has beaten both but at a mile and quater and mile and three -sixteenths, the distances at which he has broken half dozen track records.
 The first record to topic was Ja- maicas mile and three-sixteneth msark, broken in the Butler Handi- cap. Saratoga's mile and three sixteenths standard was shattered in the Merchants and Citizens Handicap and the mile and a quart CT mark lowered in hte Saratoga Handicap.
 In the Narragansett Special Lucky Draw not only set @ new track record but equaled the world record for mile and three-sixteenths while he hammered down the mile and quarter mart at Atlantic City. He failed to lower Count Fleets mile record of 1:34 4-5 at Belmont Part in his last start, the Sysonby Purse, but came close, splashing through puddles of water in 1:35 3-5.
 For horse who once was given up as a hopeless cripple, Lucky draw has come a long way. He has won eight of 12 starts and earned $169,660, moving to 20th place on with $268,590. the all time money winning list
 Not bad for 8 horse who almost was converted into hunter when his racing future was threatened by a bad leg.

TlOo Robir,sons Made Good M The .Hard' Way
By MILTON HICKMAN Limited Press Shorts Writer)


 New York, Oct. 23.-(UP)-A couple of guys named Robinson, who battled against overwhelming odds, were hoping to cash in on separate longShots next Spring when both are scheduled for big league trials.
 The two Robinsons in question are 2O-pound Eddie Robinson, prop erty of the Cleveland Indians, and Negro Jackie Robinson, a Brooklyn Dodger chattel. Eddie, 8 first base- man, hit .322 for the Baltimore Orioles last Summer and was voted the International Leagues most valuable player, and Jackie, partici- pating in his first year in organ ized baseball, led the International League in hitting with .349 mark while covering second base for the Montreal Royals.
 Both Made Good
 The case of thet wo Robinsons is almost parallel because of the tremendous diversity which blocked their path to the big leagues.
 Eddie, good-looking Texan, sometimes referred to as the "Ted Williams of the International League" received a serious leg in- jury in the Navy which threatened to end his career in professional ball.
 He was discharged from the Navy before the beginning of last sea- son and reported to the Indians during Spring training. Although he still was hampered by the injury he did creditable job both at bat and in the field.
 Concensus was that he would be the regular Cleveland first sacker in 1946 when suddenly the husky, 26-year old Robinson received word that his baby daughter was serious ly i'll near Baltimore. He petitioned the Cleveland front office to be farmed to Baltimore where he could be near his child, asd the Indians obliged.
 Rohinson's daughter died later and the big first baseman took the blow hard. His playing was affect ed for while but suddenly he snapped out of the doldrums and pounded opposing pithcers unmer- cifully. He led the league in runs batted-in with 121, and had 9 dou- bles and 34 homers. The slugging six-footer will be the Indians No. first base candidate next Spring.
 The other Robinson, Jackie, had an even tougher climb upward. Race prejudice, precedent and resentful pitchers barred his way to the maj ors. But the former army lieuten- ant was made of stern stuff. He won his job with the Royals and kept a consistent, lively pace throughout the entire season.
 Hit .357
 Manager Clay Hopper called him an important factor in the Royals drive to the International League pennant. In the circuits playoffs Robinson sparkled in the clutch, batting .357 and fielding his posi- tion spectacularly.
 The one-time U. c. L. A. foot ball star then batted .333 in the Little World Series against Louis vile and was one of the standouts in the Montreal victory. Hopper says the ebony flash can't miss ii he comes up tot he majors and outfielder Milt Byrnes of Newark who played against Robinson claims Ines as good a natural ball. player as I've seen in long time
 Next season, when Spring train ing rolls around and the inevit- able ballyhoo of the new" Ruths Cobbs and Speakers comes with 1t remember the name Robinson"
 Because two guys with the same handle met diversity head-on ano made 1t turn tail.

Wildcats Go
 AfterFourth GridVictory
By YIN MALONEY

With a successive three-game win ming streak under their belts, Coach Tommy Purcells Wilby Wildcats will be slight favorite when they meet Torrington at the Municipal Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 2:45. The Green and White dropped their opener to Plainville, 12 to 6, in the last 55 seconds of play, and then came back to down Nauga- tuck, Gilbert and Commercial. The Wildcats were rated the "darkhorse" in the local grid picture, by this writer, and they are certainly liv- ing up to that reputation. Any of the local sports fans who have seen Wilby play will testify that they look better az the season goes along.
 The Green and White combine has been going through their stren- uouS workouts at the Golf Lots on ThomaSton Avenue every day this week in preparation for their toughest game of the season. The New City aggregation shutout Cros- by, 12 to o, three weeks ago and then smeared Bristol, IS to ', last week The Torrington backfield of Frankie Russo, Willie Han, Al Carbone and Bobby Faillace, is very fast and deceptive and are figured to give the Brass City eleven plenty of trouble.
 Coach Purcell has not announced his official starting lineup but it is presumed that Frankie Datelle and Jimmy "Galloping Ghost" Ahrens will start in the halfback slots, Jerry Becchia will start at the fullback post and Jackie Rush will be calling the signals from his quarterback berth.
 The regular line of Knight, Car rington, Brown, Bowler, Paolino, Sullivan and Smith, is expected to be the Green and White men, tors choice to start in this crucial contest.
 It is expected that 8 great deal will depend upon the Wilby line and the Green and White second aries, who will be counted upon to stop the "fleetfooted" Torring- ton backs. The Wilby offense will be geared around Datelle and Ahrens, with the possibility that Don Belanger may toss a few of his deadly accurate passes which have pulled the Green and White out of hole on more than one occasion.
 It is our guess that Wilby will beat TorringtOn by 2 points.
