Indies Impressive In Local Football Debut

At the end of the first half it look ed as if the Waterbury Indies would be held to .0-0 tie by the fairly consistent Meriden Red Devil ar- ray, but one touchdown in the third period and two in the final quarter gave the Delpomen their impressive victory. More than 900 Indies fans were on their feet as Dick Kruse, the locals right-halfback, scored the first marker early in the third frame, after Ohio" Gianelli, Dom Rosa and Kruse had marched II yards for the score.
 Recovered Tumble
 In the fourth period Joe Mardar- ski, Meriden back, fumbled the ball in his end zone and Russ Truelove of the Indies recovered for the sec ond Indie score. The kick for the extra point was blocked. The Indies then kicked off to the Red Devils who were unable to move through the strong Indies line which held on the Meriden 32 yard line The visi- tors punted to the Indies and Kruse returned the ball to the Meriden AZ yard stripe. On the next play, Rosa and Kruse teamed up to forge their way down to the Meriden 31 yard line. A pass from Kruse to Jim Grove was good to the Meriden nine yard line from where Rosa went to the two yard stripe through the Red Devil line. Rosa then hurdled the Meriden line for the third Waterbury score. DiBlasio's dropkick was good for the extra point and the locals last score.
 Dick Kruse, Red" Murphy, Gia- nelli, Grove and Rose sparked the Indie offensive while Zurlis and Giampetruzzi excelled in the line. Jack Strange and Lee Simmons looked good for Meriden.
 Duke DelPo announced that the Indies will travel to the New City next Sunday to meet a strong Tor rington' Redskin array. The sum- mary:

sold to Boston. And three months later he left the team to undergo an operation for removal of chips from his throwing arm. Big Mort, they said, was through.
 But Mort came back this year for better than even record, holding a 12-11 mark as he faced the Dodgers yesterday. So there he was, shoot ing for his 18th win and the chips riding once again on that strong right arm for the Cardinals even though now he wore a Boston uni- form.
 Cooper Aided Own Cause
 Once again, Big Mort didn't let them down out along the banks of the Mississippi.
 First man at bat in the third inning, Cooper ever did better than expected. He rapped out single, took third on Billy Herman's double and went home on an outf1eld out. It was one slim run-but 1t was all Big. Mort needed.
 Twice they greeted him, those battling Brooks, with opening singles. And in the eighth they put two men on base with only one out. But each time the burly guy frightened and choked them off. And it was strictly anticlimatical when Boston, with Mort singling home another run, added three more in the ninth.
 Everybody in the crowded stands at Ebbets Field, where you root for Brooklyn or face plenty of trouble, knew that it was over. For Cooper cut them down in the last of the ninth and the ball game was over.
 Cards Fail to Take Advantage
 Meanwhile, out in St. Louis the Cards were folding against the Chicago Cubs. They led, then faded, losing their chance to clinch the pennant.
 But they were still in there, thanks to Big Mort.
 The Cardinal hitting was as anemic as ever during the late stages of this stretch drive. Meanwhile the Dodger bats had been roaring lust fly.
 So the old Cardinal stepped up in the clutch yesterday and silenced them. Today, in another uniform, he's the best pitcher the Cardinals have.

 AU-Stars To
 Keep On Edge
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Sports Writer

Boston, Sept. 30-(UP)-The Bos- ton Red Sox unpacked their bags today and started sweating it out while Brooklyn and St. Louis battle for the honor of meeting them in the World Series.
 In their sweating out" process the Red Sox will be aided and abet- ted by an American League all-star team which they will play tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and possibly Friday at Fenway Park. Hank Greenberg, Joe DiMaggio, Hal New houser and George StirnWeiss will be among the all-star players.
 The post-season series is Man ager Joe Creams idea, and General Manager Eddie Collins of the Red Sox thinks it's good way of keep ing the American League Cham pions from going stale" The scheme is not without precedent. Collins recalls the 1910 season when the Philadelphia Athletics with whom he gained fame as sec ond baseman-won the junior loop flag, then had to wait a full week for the National League season to end.
 To keep in shape, the As played series with an all-Star aggrega- ton comprising Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker, Joe Jackson, Walter John son and others.
 Won Series
 "They gave us an awful drub- bing," Collins remembers, but they left us so sharp we went on to win the World Series with ease. hope these games will have the same ef- feet on the Red Sox.' The Red Sox luggage was all packed at Fenway Park and ready for shipment, either to Brooklyn or St. Louis, yesterday when news of tn Nationai League tie was an- nounced.
 The deadlock came as a disap- pointment to the Boston players. Most of them shared Pitcher Tex Hughson'S feeling:
 We don't care which National League team we play, but we want to play one of them and get 1t over with"
 Ted Williams is sure the National League playoff will play right into the hands of the Red Sox.
 Those guys will get all tired out playing against each other" he ex- plained. "Then they'll come up against us and they'll really have to play."

Pete Fox-OMcer And Gentleman!

Hundreds of Waterbury fr1enos of Colonel Pete Fox must nave been profoundly shocked last Sat ,1rday when word of his rather sud- den death got around; making many of us stop whatever work we port which seemed to come w1tr were doing to contemplate the re, the suddenness of lightning. Mos, of his friends knew that Colone Fox had not been enjoying the oes' of health in recent years, but nc one expected his sudden passing.
 Having served with him in G Company, Connecticut National Guard at a time when the late Bill Carroll was company captain, he was first lieutenant, Pm! Kelly was second lieutenant ana Harness (Sticks) O'Donnel first sergeant, gained the impression that I was a lucky Joe to draw officers of the type which handled us with the greatest of ease ana no confusion. Lieut.. Fox was a type of officer who made a SOL dier feel he was lucky to know; for there never WAS d AAd1l uA1oNA his command who ever did or said anything that would refect badly on G Company or It's ol-. ficers. Not much of discipllnar- ian, because it just wasn't ln hlm to be tough with the men; Lieut.. Fox was as falr-dealng and popular as any man who ever wore an officers insigna; ana there were none happier than ms old e boys when he was moved up to Ieutenant-colonelcy,
 placed in charge of the state armory on Field Street; and upon retirement, raised to the rank of full colonel (silver eagle).
 That Colonel Pete Fox, In deatn rates the highest military honors that can ge paid his memory. is beyond question of anyone whc even knew him slightly. Here's tc him, as one of his company, pub lie salute to a good soldier-otdcer and gentlemani
