In THE SPORTS PAN
BY Roy Cook

Stanley Mickey) Katkaveck, 30 year old former manager
of the Wilmington Pirates has been signed to manage the
Albany Cardinals of the Class D Georgia-Florida league. it
was learned here Saturday.
Mickey was signed to pilot the Wilmington Pirates early
last year by Luby Pollock, Vic Stefano and Bert Kite. He
came to this city and set up the training program for the
Buccaneers. He did a swell job in rounding out a team, but
for some reason, we were unable to find out. Mickev was
not given the cooperation he should have received.
Several times the players conducted themselves in a man.
ner that proved Embarrassing to the manager. On one &C.
casion we took Mickey to task in this column about a deci-
sion. which we were under the impression he made. Recent
" we had a short talk with Katkaveck and he told us what
happened that night.
It might be a little late to bring up this question. But, we
feel that in fairness to Mickey we should try to explain to
our readers what happened. [
For reasons, as we stated above, unknown to us, the
Pirate players were not giving the manager their coopera-
ton and on this special night a pitcher was having trouble
with his control, Mickey took him out and sent in his
"star" moudsmen to take over. The relief pitcher hurled
excellent ball, striking out three men in that inning. But,
the next frame, another pitcher, who had not even warmed
nm strobe to the mound, the result was obvious, the batters
team knocked the cover off the ball.
The next morning we sharply criticized the Pirate Mana
ger for his actions and it was only a few days ago that we
learned the truth about that night. The relief pitcher re-
fused to return to the mound, so Katkaveck was forced to
send in another hurler, and according to reports this was
not the only instance in which the players refused to coop
crate.
Congratulations. Mickey, on your new position and may
we wish you the best of luck.
Sneaking of baseball in Wilmington, sometime ago this
column carried an article that Nate Andrews might be Of
fered the position of manager of the Pirates in 1947. Since
that time we have heard nothing from the Buccaneer camp.
But don't be surprised if popular player on last years club
is offered the Job. He might not accept the offer, and it
might not be rendered him. But, stepping out on a limb,
we predict that a man well-known and well-hked by the
local fans will get the job. Last season he was a main-stay
of the Buccaneers and saved many games for them =.
And he was not a pitcher. Your guess is as good as mine d:
But I take and Recommend Jim Station as manager of the
Pirates for 1947.

OFFICIATING BAD
Cricket Fans Discuss Test
Matches Being Held In
Australia

LONDON, Jan. 5-W.H-The tran,
quill atmosphere of the cricket
fleld, where play is interrupted for
tea, was shattered Sunday by an
exchange Of unpleasantries be-
tween the British and Australian
sides in the test matches-The
World Series of Cricket being
played in Australia.
In pubs and restaurants and sub.
ways, in Pail Mall clubs and in
the offices of Whitehall and the
city, cricket fans were talking
over the situation.
Some asked: rs it cricket?'
others asked, as had been done ir
many countries previously, 'wheth
er international competition in
Guiding Olympic games made gooc
will between countries or merely
bad blood.
The situation is made more deli
cate because test is becoming ar
ugly word to sensitive Britons. Eng
land has lost the first two of the
five matches and seems about tt
lose the third tomorrow.
Since the test matches started
some British dispatches have hint
ed cautiously that the Australian
umpires would have difficulty read
ing below the top line on an oculists
e~ye-testing chart.
1t remained for Daily Express
correspondent Harold Dale to make
the sensational-for British sports
and especially for cricket-charge
that the umpire was wrong in call
ing two England batsmen out
Dennis Compton and William Ed
rich of England's team were de-
clared out leg before wicket. This
means that the umpire ruled they
put a heavily s~hinguarded leg ir
front of the wicket while at bal
so that the bowler's ball could moi
hit it.,
Dale said that the test matches
were no longer a test but an ex-
hibition.
Bad umpiring, he said, made the
third day of the current match
null and void. England's players,
he said, know not whom to fear
most, the bowler or the umpire
It was most difficult, Dale said.
