DusokHit Worth Plenty To St. Louis
BY STAN MOCKLER United Press Sports Writer

St. Louis, Sept. 25-(UP)-The fob of keeping St. Louis hitless wonders one game in front in the ding-done National League pennant race to- day rested squarely on the shoulders Of Murry Dickson, the Cardinals watch charm pitcher with Big Ben courage.
 And Dickson will have his work cut out for him when he tangleS with the Cincinnati Reds tonight. Opposing him will be Bucky Walters, who has beaten the Birds twice in three attempts. Dickson has won IA and lost 5, against Walters 9-7.
 Dickson can't hope for much bat ting support from his team-mates. Caught in the throes of a batting slump in the last lap of their pen nant drive, the Cardinals have hit safely only 23 times in the last four games. But the Cards pitching has stood the test. It did again last night with the aid of ninth inning single and 10th inning homer.
 Thriller-DilIer
 The Cards 2 to 1 victory over the Reds last night extended their lead te one full game over Brooklyn idled by rain.
 It was such a fantastic Frank Merriwell finish that even Manager Eddye Dyer, a quiet easy-going fel- low, was too systerical to speak for minutes afterward.
 Dyer and 18,850 Redbird fans had to wait until two were out in the ninth inning for anything to cheer about. Johnny Wander Nicer, the Reds ace southpaw, sent the un- happy Cardinals back to the bench with regularity up to that time and had two-hit shutout in the making
 His mates had given him a slender margin of one run by sandwichng two dinky fourth inning singles around sacrifice. Big Red Munger, backed by spectacular fielding that included three flash double plays, looked to be sure loser on his seven-hit effort when Nippy Jones came into hit for him in the ninth.
 Wander Nicer began his own down. 1oA Ny WdAA11AS COIlCS. CGl1 OTOSS ran for him and advanced to second on Red Scl1oendiensts sacrifice. He remained there while Terry Moore spoiled the Birds hopes with a tall infield pop.
 But Stan Musial stopped the march toward the exits with snap single to right that scored Gross and put the Cardinals back into the ball game.
 Ted Wilks held the Reds safe in their half of the tenth.
 Homer Did It
 And then, with one out in the Cardinals tenth, Erwin (four sack) Dusak got his first hit-a towering home run into the left field bleach CTS that broke up the ball game. It was his ninth of the season. That movie-ike win may be the shot in the arm the team needs to cop the flag. When Dyer calmed down enough to speak, he shouted, Tt was one of the best games of the season to win. I don't know what else to say, but I know it'll help us 8 lot" Maybe just enough.

Red Sox Sunk When Ruth Picked Up Bat to Build Yankee En1pire

Mays, Waite Hoyt, Bullet Joe Bush, Herb Pennock, Sad Sam Jones, Wal ly Schang, Everett Scott, Jumping Joe Dugan and Babe Ruth, the man who built the Stadium, to name the more prominent ones whose names come to mind offhand.
 Ruth was alternating in the box and outfield as early as 1915, and when 1t became too much for the Great Man in 1919, Ed Barrow made the switch that made the one-time Baltimore urchin the greatest figure in the history of the game.
 When Ruth manufactured 29 home runs in 1919, Lieut.. -Col. Til- linghast Huston, then partner of Col. Jacob Ruppert, decided that the Bambino was the prescription re- quired to sell the Yankees to New York.
 Ruth was obtained for $10O,OoO and Colonel Rupperts personal loan of $350,000, the brewer taking a mortgage on Fenway Park. The Yankees agreed to toss in some les ser players. The $450,000 enabled Frazee to pay Joe Lannin $400, ,00O and left $50,0O0 for other obliga- tionS.
 Manager Barrow hit the ceiling when he heard of the sale. You're selling the club and base balls greatest star" he exclaimed.
 I'm sorry, Ed" replied Frazee, ''but I had to do it. It was the only way I had of saving the club. We'll get a few players from the Yankees"
 ''The hell with the kind of play CTS they'll give us." said Barrow. They made me look ridiculous when I had to take pitchers Bob McGraw and Allen Russell in the Mays deal"
 Anyway, no players were involved in the Ruth transaction.
 Ed BarroWs headaches were end ed when he went to New York as general manager to once more be with the strickouts he bossed in the Hub.
 The Red Sox were sunk when Ruth picked up a bat to build the Yankee dynasty. Until Thomas Austin Yawkey acquired them in 1853, they were never out of the sec ond division in IS years, were nine times last, twice seventh. Even the Tabled Bill Carrigan could do noth-

 New York, Sept. 25-(UP)-For a decade he was the man in notion in the great pre-war backheld that made the Chicago Bears the most feared team in the professional ranks.
 Today he still is man in mo- tion, rising to the top in a hurry in the collegiate coaching ranks.
 He's the United Press coach of the week, Ray (Jolting) Nolting of the virtually unknown Cincinnati Bearcats who went to Indiana last Saturday and drubbed the depend- ing big nine champion Hoosiers in their first start of the season, 2 to 6.
 Football fans were stunned at the job his upstarts did on Coach AL win (Bo) McMillin's team which went through the entire 1945 cam paign undefeated and was regarded as 8 good bet in the current big nine race.
 Irked At Odds
 But it came as no surprise to Nolting and his boys. They were irked at the long odds quoted against them and went into the battle confident they would win it.
 we just got peeved when those Indiana guys treated us like coun- try cousins" said Fullback Fred Red- ekes, one of the stars.
 Nolting said his biggest job all week was to keep down over-con- fldence."
 The 33-year-old Nolting, who came back last year to Cincinnati where he was graduated in 1936, quit his pro football career in 1914 when he suffered 8 broken leg The team had just an average wartime season, playing no big time games, and wasn't given anything but polite brushoff in this years pre- season ratings.
 But Nolting knew better Ex-serv- icemen flooded the campus long be- fore school started and it seemed every husky ex-GI. knew a lot about football. Captain Elbie Michel, great end from the 1942 squad was back and among the other talent on hand were End Max Wharton who played two years at Temple, Al Richards, who was 8 half-back for two years at Penn State as Marine trainee, and Lowell Storm a guard from Great Lakes Naval.
 Nolting put the squad to work on an offense fashioned 75 per cent on the Chicago Bears attack. To help him he brought along Carl Brum- baugh, the Bears pre-war quarter back coach.
 Nolting, great believer in psy- chology without arm waving or fancy dressing room speeches, talk ed individually to the boys and

fighters to enable the middleweights to challenge the heavyweights as a
 money" division.
 Big Money
 The 160-pounders are challenging the heavies at the box office now; and if young, colorful, explosive Graziano becomes champion, their threat to heavyweight turnstile supremacy will be menacing. For what possible matches in the heavyweight division or any other class could compare as attractions with title bouts between Graziano and either Marcel Cerdan of France or Jake Lamotta of New York? For that matter, an over-the-weight match between Graziano and Well |terweight contender Ray (Sugar) Robinson might draw a million at Yankee Stadium.
 We emphasize the golden pos sibilities of 8 Graziano victory, for the slam-bang, dead-end guy al- ready has proved himself a golden boy'-without a championship crown upon his touSled head. In his last seven bouts at Madison Square Garden, the 24-year- -old Italian drew gates totaling $684, ,659. Pro- moter Mike Jacobs ranks The Rock" second only to Joe Louis as a current attraction. Louis, how ever. lacks formidable competition In his class whereas Graziano would have plenty of menacing opponents.
 No Golden Boy"
 If Zale, king of the 160-pounders, retains his title against Graziano at Yankee Stadium Friday night, Zale may become a great attraction. We doubt, however, that the 32- year-old Pole from Gary, Ind, could become a golden boy" of Graziano proportions. Zale is much more conservative in and out of the ring than is the eccentric, wild swinging rock. If Zale knocks out Graziano or wins impressively over him, the victory will, however, make Tony stand out in the eyes of the fans as worthy champion. And he would be able to draw we'll, indoors or outdoors, in title defenses against chaps like Cerdan and La- motta, or for an over the-weighter with Robinson.
 We mention Cerdan and Lamotta as the most formidable middle weight challengers, but there are many other formidable contenders in their division-Charley Burley, Artie Levine, Georgie Abrams, Red Priest, Jimmy Edgar, Bert Lytell, and Holman Williams.
 According to "the ring" record book, no middleweight bout ever drew 8 gate of more than $13O,0OO. Friday nights scrap at the stadium may attract $400,000. And if Gra- siano becomes champion, look for a s1 100000 brawl next Summer. The middleweights have arrived" to challenge the heavies at the box office.

told them they had a great oppor- tunity ahead.
 He doesn't think that it will be easy sailing in the games to come, however. In fact he is worried plenty about this weeks engagement with Kentucky.
 Prom now on they'll all be lay ing for us," he said. We're right back to work on drills and we'll have to bear down now, harder than ever"
 Noting isn't talking about 1t, but it is understood all over the campus that "a bowl bid would be most welcome" provided the team has 8 record to rate it. School officials admit that a buildup is underway. Our policy is pointing toward big time football" said Publicity Direc- tor William Golding. "It's always up toward bigger and better teams" Nolting, ruggedly handsome with brown wavy hair and dark brown eyes, is a stern task master on the field, but doesn't worry much about football when the drills or the
 
 games are over.
 Superstitious
 When he gets 8 chance he goes to a theater on the night before a game after a supper of lamb chops, "just to forget about things" That is carryover from his Chi cago Bear days when it amounted to a superstition. He did if once and the Bears won so he kept 1t up. The Bears kept winning so he kept eating lamb chops and seeing movies.
 He also likes to get away for hunting and fishing. But he admits there won't be much of that for awhile. Not with Kentucky, Tulsa, Michigan State, and collection of tough Ohio College foes ahead.

ZaLe, Graziano $4OO, 900 Gate Looms Friday
By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer)

New York, Sept. 26 - (UP) - If Friday nights title fight between Tony zale and Rocky Graziano en- joys favorable weather, it should draw the biggest gate in middle weight history - probably about $400, 900.
 And if Graziano wrests the title from zale, one can expect million dollar middleweight bout next Sum- mer.
 Talk about the good old days of boxing! Never in the 79-year his tory of the middleweight class has the stage been set so appropriate ly by the fistic fates to welcome golden boy" champion.

 Old Bob Quinn purchased the out fit from Frazee in 1923, but one of his partners, Palmer Winslow, soon died, and thereafter the Columbus veteran suffered from the financial shorts, and therefore got precisely nowhere.
 Tom Yawkey, young man of many millions, first tried to buy a pen- nant, but quickly found that base- ball club now has to raise its own.

Boston, Sept. 25.-(NEA)-Harry H. Frazee was eager to get back in the theatrical business, was fi- nancing what turned out to be the smash musical, 'No! No! Nanette." He had acquired the Red Sox in 1916 for $75,000 and a lot of prom issory notes. With World War I and the work or fight order sandwiched in between, by January, 1920, the Boston clubs Indebtedness amount ed to $400,000.
 In mid-season of 1919, Carl Mays, the submarine slinger, started the march of Red Sox going to the Yankees, and the New York empire was founded on stars who shined at Fenway Park-Storm Center
