Mrs. Zaharias' drive on the 18th
was straight down the middle and

spoon shot was just short of the

was 100 yards short. The gallery
warmly applauded Babes chip to

then halved: the remaining three

Strangely enough the Babe was a

Harris Strategy Is Criticized,
But He's Boon to Scriveners

SO, Tommy Heinrich walked to
open the inning and Johnny Lin
dell singled, Heinrich stopping at

strung along with the dangerous
Di Maggie ordering him to swing
away rather than sacrifice. Di
Maggie smacked a double-play
grounder at Second Baseman Ed
Stanky and the Yankees failed to
produce the tying run when Nc
Quinn grounded out to First
Baseman Jackie Robinson.
Harris has abandoned caution
and routine, safe baseball in the
Series, but in each instance he
has expressed confidence in the
Yankees hitting. He's willing to
risk possible repercussions, con-
fident New York's,. hitting will
provide the winning touch.
Harris maneuvering, while be-.
ing lambasted in some circles, is
pleasing the writing fraternity.
He's given the scribes consider
able second-guess material and
made their chores easier, but
whether he wins or loses Bucky
has indicated he'll go along on
the assumption that a good Of
fense consists of Yankees swing
ing for destruction rather than
sacrificing or taking balls they

I don't care if Babe Ruth was the

Knee Better, Sinkwicf

To Play Sunday
By the Assoeisfed Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.-"Freball'

Baltimore Colts in the All-America
Football Conference, and the former
University of Georgia backfeld great
is expected to be in uniform for the
Baltimore Francisco game here
Sunday.
The Colt management, in an
nouncing the signing, said Sink
wich arrived here from Athens, Ga,
last night and may run through
practice with the Colts today.
just week ago, the New York
Yankees of the same league placed
Sinkwich on the retired list at his
own request. frankie said a bad
knee was the cause of his leaving.
A Colt spokesman said doctors
reports showed the knee probably
would stand up.
He said Bob Rodenburg, president
of the Baltimore club, had made q
deal with the Yankees before Sink
wich was signed to a Colt contract.
Its terms we're undisclosed.
Two Of his old Georgia backfield
teammates - Lamar "Racehorse'
Davis and Andy Dudish-are play
ing with the Colts. Fred Lutz,. who
designed the famous mask" Frankie
wore to protect broken jaw during
his last season at Georgia, is trainer
for Baltimore.
Their presence here had a lot to
do with Sinkwich's decision to take
another crack at the pro game, the
Colt spokesman said.
A high school sensation at Youngs-
town, Ohio, Sinkwich rose to be an
All-American star for Georgia in
1941 and 1912.
He played for the Detroit Lions
in the National League in 1913.
The following season he was voted
that circuits most valuable player.
Frankie then went into service
and it was while playing with an
Army eleven that he suffered an
injury to his left knee cartilage.
Upon discharge, he jumped the
National League to sign a contract
with the New York Yankees.

Fordham slowly is climbing the
road to its former gridiron glory
but there's a detour ahead tonight
With a perfect October night
promised by the weather man, the
Georgetown athletic Office expects a
crowd bigger than the 15,004 that
witnessed last years clash. Game
time is $3.50 in Griffith Stadium.
The Hoyas have a good, rugged
ball club, excellent defensively but
with an offense that lacks a hard
runner. They have been established
one to two touchdowns favorites on
the basis of losing only 60 to Wake
Forest last week, a game in which
the partial Carolina fans agreed
Georgetown should have gained
nothing worse than a tie.
Coach Jack Hagerty attempts to
make up for his lack of a big-name
back with tricky offense centered
around the spread formation, where
the II Hoyas scatter from sideline to
sideline and it's anybody's guess as
to who gets the ball.
Coach Ed Danowski reports an
acute shortage of backfleld material
for Fordham's opening game. He
can count on only six backs and one
of those, Ray Elster, has a damaged
knee. The Rams backs. are fast,
however, and both Stan Bloomer and
Lou Mauro are better than fair
hands at passing. The Rams right
tackle, Joe Sadonis, holdover from
their last Orange Bowl team.
