Tigers Take Ramblers,
I'll; Bears Defeat
Sunset, 32-13
BY HARRIss

The aerial-minded Bradley Creek
Clamdiggers evened up their score
in the won-lost column of the
Grade school Pigskin Loop yester-
day by handing the Wrightsboro
ramblers a 21-7 defeat on the Thir-
teenth and Ann Street field, while
on the adjoining gridiron the
Chestnut Street Bears made a
commendable debut by downing the
Sunset Park eleven 32-13.
The Digger = Rambler tilt was
fought on even terms until mid
way in the second period when
Bradley Creeks George Patterson
Topped a 80 yard heave to Julian
Rogers to in tiate the scoring. The
boys Withthe clam hoes started
rolling then and it was only three
minutes later that another Pat
terson-Rogers toss clicked for
twenty yards and a second score;
the half-time count riding at 40.
Coach Rupert Bryant's lads came
back in the third stanza after a
sustained drive had placed the ball
on the Wrightsboro II yard line to
terminate their scoring when Boyd
Butler cut off tackle to bring the
count to 21O.
The Wrightsboro aggregation. tn.
tored by Donald Chadwick, picked
up its lone tally late in the final
quarter when a pair of aerials
from Bobb, Setter 30 Dallas Mer-
e were good for a total Of sixty
yards and a score.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-P-While
the winning players in a World
Series are footing their horns there
always some member Of the
losing team wearing them. so there
will be a lot of speculation as to
which Of the Boston Red Sox con-
ceivably might be termed the goat
of the 1946 event.
Some critics might pin the label
on Ted Williams, but we don't
string along with that. It's true
that much was expected Of the
gangly guy. He a doped (not
literally, of course) to be the pow
e. Of the Boston attack.
He wasn't, but this doesn't make
him a goat in our book. When a
man, through circumstances be-
yond his control, can't come
through, he can't be blamed. The
Cardinal pitchers rel the circum-
stances beyond Ted's control. In
the field he played heads-up bail,
was not guilty of any mental lapses.
You can't pin the horns on some
body for physical inability to do
something, and Ted just wasn't
physically able to hit the ball con-
sistently.
Some critics might name Johnny
Pesky for the doubtful honor of
wearing the head spears. 1t was
Johnny's slight hesitation on the
relay of Leon Culbertson's throw
from center field after Harry Walk
er's hit that permitted Enos S.augh-
ter to score from first base in the
eighth inning of the final game,
the run proving the victory margin.
It's entirely possible Pesky just
couldn't conceive anyone having
the sheer gall to t-y to score from
first on such a hit, which we saw
only as a clean single, although
Walker was credited with a double.
He probably thought Slaughter was
bluffing when he rounded third and
was going to Try to nip him there
when he hustled back. BY that
time he saw the runner meant to go
all the way it was too late, as
Slaughter actually OUTRAGED the
ball to the plate. We never saw a
ball player run so fast.
Had Slaughter held up at third,
and Pesky's throw there caught
him as he returned to the bag,
Pesky's play would have been con-
sidered smast. Slaughter didn't
stop, so Pesky is the fall guy.
Heroes were provided in dozen
lots during the series. There is
Slaughter of course, who in addi-
ton to his great gallop fielded and
threw amazingly and was the Cardi-
nails power at the plate. There
was Harry Brecheen, with his triple
triumph. There was Terry Moore,
playing on a painfully crippled leg
and providing the two outstanding
catches of the series.
Heroes don't necessarily have to
be on the winning team. Large
Rudy Yark rates some acclaim. He
Won two games for the Red Sox
with -ousing home runs. And there
was the unheralded Joe Dobson
going the route on the mound and
beating the Cards when he was con-
sidered a very doubtful starter.
AL in all, the series was in the
nature Of an exoneration Of Ma
