Herbie kept Willie off balance
with barrage of right jabs and
stepped away whenever Willie
swung. Reaches defense was a

swung and never landed. The nod
favoring Jones was unanimous.

Watch Braves in 49,
kCN as Southworth
Signs for 5 Years
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-"Watch
Boston in 4s" was the cry in Ma
tional League circles today after
announcement of the signing of
Manager Billy Southworth to a new
five-year contract at salary report
cd to be "in excess of" s250,000
Beantown has not had a senior
circuit pennant winner since 1914,
but the famine in the last few years
has shown signs of drawing to an
end. Under the management of the
Perrin family, the Braves have
shown promise of new life.
The Braves electrified the baseball
world at the end of the 1945 season
by signing the fabulous Billy the
Kid" to a three-year contract, Turing
him from the st. Louis Cardinals
after he had just missed out on a
bid for a fourth straight pennant.
Old Agreement Torn Up.
In announcing Southworth had
signed new contract last night,
Lou Perrin, president of the Braves,
said he and the Boston pilot had
agreed to tear up their OLD three-year
agreement, which had year to
run. in favor of the f1ve-year docu-
ment. Perrin is said to have spent
more than 100000 already on the
Braves.
Perrin, terming it "one of the
most important announcements in
the history of the Braves" said
the contract signing had been
staged in New York on the day the
World Series ended because we
hope to have the same thing-a
World Series-in Boston very soon" !"
Asked about "big player deal"
the Braves were reported to be ne
gotiating, Perrin said, Il have talked
to a lot of clubs about deals that
may or may not materialize.
I'VE have planted the seeds and
we will deal with most anybody
that will bring to Boston the type
of players that will fit into South
worth's plans
Every Club Contacted.
Southworth told neWsmen the
Braves owners and himself had
contacted every major league club
in an effort to make a deal to help
our club. We have laid the ground
work for couple of trades and pur-
chases which we expect to be con-
sumated at the majors minors
meetings in December"
Earlier, Braves General Manager
John J. Quinn had announced that
Catcher Hank Camelli and two
other players, to be named by April,
were traded to San Diego for Frank
Kerr, 20O-pound, 6-foot-1 catcher,
and that the Braves had purchased
Outfelder Garden GillenWater'
contract from the Milwaukee
Brewers.

Tommy Mont, former Maryland
quarterback, who, as the Redskins
No. 3 signal caller was anonymous
as an unsigned letter, will be sent
to the Wilmington Clippers of the
American League, Tribe officials an
nounced today. At the same time,
Fullback Vince Pacewic, sent to the
Clippers two weeks ago, and Tackle
Don Avery, who was assigned to that
club last week, have been recalled.
Avery's return was speeded by John
Adams injured knee that will keep
the big fellow idle at least another
week and possibly two.
Mont's transfer was decided on to
give him more pro experience and
involves no financial sacrifice on his
part. He simply was stymied behind
Jimmy Youel, who is stymied behind
Sam Baugh, who seems to be out on
a record-smashing passing spree this
season.
The Skins have restored Harvey
Jones to the active player list. The
halfback from Texas, signed after
being turned loose by the Rams last
year, reported to training camp with
a bad knee and returned home after
the first week for an operation. DR..
Robert E. Moran examined Jones
yesterday and said his knee looks
sound enough to play on.
Also in town is John Koniszewski,
a regular tackle last year who gave
up football for a fling at politics and
now is ready to come back to the
gridiron. The Skins may offer Big
Jawn, onetime George Washington
lineman, a contract if he is in good
physical condition. 1t is possible
that Averys return and the addi-
tion of Koniszewski could be the
turning point in the clubs fight for
the Eastern division title. They're
good enough to handle the assign
ments against any club in the league
wi1en right, and they should be on
the beam now.
