NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-(NEA)
Changes have to be made
when a club runs a dead heat
for last plce with the Phillies.
But the Pirtes aren't going to
get anywhere in a jiffy swapping
rising young infielders like Billy
Cox and Gene Mauch and a left
hand pitcher on the order of
Preacher Roe for pitchers after
the fashion of big Hal Gregg and
little Vic lombard and the 81
year-old outfielder Dixie Walker.
Cox is the type of ballplayer
people talk about. Accomplished
enough in the field, he hit .29O
in 1946, .274 ilast trip, when he
smacked Is home runs.
Mauch went to the Pirates
from the Brooks in the Kirby
Higbe transaction, was farmed
to Indianapolis, where Branch
Hickey liked him
Roe has made a habit of drop
ping close decisions, but hasn't
had too many runs, and protein
TALLY is an overpowering left
handler. Originally Hickey
product with the Cardinals, the
Arkansas bird dog fancier is
likely to do much better with a
winning outfit and and incentive.
Skeets Gregg bagged Is for
the Brooklyn's in 1945, but seeing
him fail to survive the first in
ming last season you wondered
how he managed it. The
Anaheim highlander is strong
and fast. He led the National
League in bases in balls in 1914
AS. All he required was control,
they said, but when he obtained
some measure of it the other
side took liberties.
lombard is control 500
lefthander who lacks the speed
to control right-hand batters.
Fredrck R. Walker is III
biggest story. OF Dix batted
.306 last season, drove in 94runs.
Impeded by a shoulder injury,
Walker kicked around for II
years before arriving in
Brooklyn from Detroit via the
waiver route in 1899.
Walker took new lease on
life at Ebbets Field, uqickly es-
tablished himself as the Peo-
pies Cherce.
He was so well liked that any
popularity contest staged there

Hickey Gets Best Of Another Deal;
Walker Passes From Brooklyn

in the last seven years wouldn't
have been close.
Walker played some remark
able ball on the bank of the Co
wanus, leading the league in
batting with 1857 in 1914 and in
runs-batted-in. in AS with 1874
He batted in 116 runs in As.
There was noting wrong with
Walkers arm while he was with
Brooklyn. Helping the Superbas
to their first penant in q years
in Al, he tied for the N. L. out
fielders' leadership in assists
with 10, and showed the way in
double plays. He had 20 assists
in '43.
The most unusual thing about
the Walker case in Brooklyn is
sukthat the front office all along
made things quite plain that it
didn't want one of the more
valuable members of the
party.
Again you hear that Pres
ident Hickey got rid of another
high-salaried player. With
Walker goes a contract calling
for $4,000. The truth is, how
ever, tht Mahatma Hickey will
pay them once they're estab-
lished, especially now that he is
operating in Brooklyn, where
the Buns plyed to 1900, 1000
person last season. Arky
Vaughan and Cookie Lavagetto
drew down $30,5O0 between
them last term, and the pair
combined did not play full
season.
The Pittsburgh club will not
suffer as long as Walkers legs
hold up, but the old boy can't
go on forever.
Hickey simply disposed of an
other old-timer while he was
still marketable. They never
died on the Cardinals while
Hickey was in St. Louis. They
won't die on the Dodgers while

conflicting with the basketball ac-
tivities of the Junior High Schools,
the organizers of the Junior Basket
ball League, at meeting held in st.

be drawn up and the nights on which
the games are to be played will be
decided on.

HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

This afternoon, on the Waynes-
boro High School gridiron, Eddie
Semler's Maroon and Gray squad
wind up their 1947 season-and l
fully expect them to end the season
with at least a two-touchdown vic
, tory.
Those boys at the High School
had tough prospect ahead of them,
even before the training season
started, for they were following one
of the best High School teams in
vears-a team that went through
the 1916 season undefeated. But
they stuck to their knitting" and
improved with every game, and
every member of the squad deserves
a world of credit. Watch out for the
Hubs in 1948-they're going to be a
tough team to beat
The season ends today for the
Hubs. but the squad will be called
together again next Tuesday night,
when they will be honor guests OF
the Hagerstown Lodge OF Elks.
That's something l don't intend to
miss.
CONGRATULATIONS to coach John
Kerr and his High School cross
country team. Entering Glass "A

should l say ran-off with the State
Championship in Baltimore on Sat
urday. Members of the team are:
AL Buehler, captain; Bob Ovelman,
Boyd Peck, Duke Stouffer and Bill
Wells.
Harry Wismer, who has suffered
untold agonies all season long, Que
to opposing teams kicking his be-
loved Redskins all over the lot,
finally had a chance to whoop 1t up
on Sunday afternoon, when, led by
Sammy Baugh's passes, the Wash
/ ington team soundly trounced the
Chicago Cardinals, who were lead
ing the Western Division. Harry
really went to town on that game,
giving full play to his Hollywood
expressions - colossal, magnificent,
sensational etc.
big Jim" Tatum, whose use of
the crying towel is just about on
par with Army's Earl Blaik and
Notre Danes Frank Leahy, has done
a swell job at the University OF
Maryland. That win over Wander
bilt at Nashville, Tennessee, on
Saturday, was a honey.
Listening to the broadcast of the
game, was reminded of some pro-
fessional games-that is as far as
penalties were concerned. 1t SEEM
ed that almost every minute the ref
eree's whistle was blowing, and the
boys must have really been putting
everything they had into the battle,
for each team drew total of over
ninety yards in penalties.
That's quite seesaw battle
between Notre Dame and Michigan
