The Guy Helped Garry the Pitcher
Underdog Role to Help Braves
In Series> Southworth Feels

the big right-hander's supporting
cast in this regard.
1t is my good fortune to have
competed in five World Series, two
as player and three as a manager
Then, too, I have directed clubs
in five Junior World Series and the
experience gained through these
hard campaigns has convinced me
that the club that wins a short
playoff of this kind must go all out
Naturally, I'm often asked about
the outcome of the series. I have
only one thought. I expect a hard
fought victory.
JEFF Heath and Jim Russell will
be sorely missed. 1t couldn't be
otherwise when a club loses two reg
ular outfielders. Yet I have conf
dence in Marv Rickert doing a good
job, but readers will realize that the
Braves will be short one outfielder.
Ray Sanders should prove valuable
as pinch hitter.
One can't dismiss the thought of
the fine work done by Heath this
season before his ankle was broken.
His 20 home runs and II runs batted
in denotes his value. The loss of
Russell, through illness, and his So
RIBS up to the time he was forced
to leave the club in midseason
stopped short, in my opinion, the
greatest season of his career.

the fans surged on the sidewalks
In the street the lanes were filled
with cars footing their horns. Traf-

It looked like a combination of an
American Legion convention and
the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
Everybody had fun.
at least thousand citizens,
decked out as squaws and braves in
blankets, painted faces and feath-
cred headpieces. roamed the streets
and avenues, all shouting for their
tribe. Sound trucks played dance
records at the principal intersec-
tions and there was dancing in the
streets.
In every bar, night club, saloon,
tavern and grill there were quar-
tets which insisted on singing such
songs as Take Me Out to the Ball
Came"
In fact, the only discordant notes
in the entire celebration were some
struck by the well-lubricated quar-
tets, but no one seemed to care
especially the quartets. .
Sheriff Joseph NJ. Sweeney of
Cuyahoga County said the prisoners

Report Of Friction
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BOSTON, Oct. 5.-Cleveland Of
f1cials laughed off report originat-

baseball organization.
The reports grew out of victory
party for the Cleveland ball play
ers last night.
The Boston American said sew
eral players swapped blows with one
casualty-Joe Upton. a third
string catcher, who suffered a swol-
len lip.
A Cleveland spokesman said the
party was perhaps little joyous
even boisterous-but that report
about any fights is the bunk"
1t was a private party. Some
pushing developed when a few So
called outsiders tried to crash the

But as to q roW-well, the Cleve-

McCarthy's Retention
As Pilot Of Beaten
bosox Held Certain
BY the Asseeioisd Press

BOSTON, Oct. 5-The Boston Red
Sox, according to General Manager
Joe Cronin, are in the throes bf a
reorganization plan, but it can be
taken for granted that Marse Joe
Mccarthy will be back next season
to complete his two-year managerial
contract that Is said to call for
$4,000 per year.
There are many who insist that
Catcher Birdie Tebbetts, a native of
nearby Nashua. N. H., will be Nc
Carthy's successor as Bosox pilot
But it appears definite that Tebbetts
will be forced to mark time until
Mccarthy again decides to shuttle
OF to Buffalo. He did that sud-
denly while managing the New York
Yankees in the midst Of the 1916
season.
"I've lost before. That's nothing
new to me-" Joe emphasized yester-
day after his Red Seekers were over
whelmed by the Cleveland Indians
in the American Leagues first play
of game in history.
1T was just one of those things" :"
he continued. "We went through
the regular season on even terms
with the Indians and finally wound
up losing the odd game.
MY only regret is that my boys
lost. They'rex great gang. n Whey
were counted out many times dur
ing the season, but they kept COM
ing back and coming back, and We
went right down to the wire" :.
Mccarthy, rated as one Of bfee-
balls all-time top pilots, :Ras
plagued by pitching weakne ses
from the 1948 seasons start tf its
finish. When he took over the ub
last March, it appeared to I've
more than enough balance to ain
the pennant. -.
But as the season wore on. such
former pitching dependables as Tex
Hughson and Dave Ferriss went
from bad to worse and, despite the
Red Sox slugging, McCarfny's
forces never were able to gal a
really commanding lead.
Despite such frustration, Nd ar
thy managed to work two I'D Reld
miracles. He first made an out
standing third haseman out of little
Johnny Pesky, who had regarded
himself as strictly shortstop, and
a star first baseman out Of Rookie
Billy Goodman, up from the Louis
vile American Association club.
He also plugged an outfleld gap
Now that the season Is over, Nc
Carthy can convince Owner Tom
YaHkey that one more winning
pitcher would have assured the Red
Sox the pennant. And everybody
knows that Yawkey will pay almost
any amount for . really good
chucker.

BY the Associoted Press

BOSTON, Oct. 5.-There was
q moment of silence during the
noisy celebration of Cleveland's
first pennant victory since 1920.
Players. club executives and
hewspapermen paused in the
midst of their merrymaking at
the request of Manager Lou
Boudreau.
81 want everybody to raise his
glass;" Lou said, ito a great
pitcher who isn't with us to-
night. To a fellow we really won
this pennant for. To Don Black"
Black still is in serious condi-
ton at a Cleveland hospital as
the result of a brain injury suf-
fered during a game at Cleve-
land September -13.
A Fenway Park statistician fig
urged that only two left-handers
have gone the distance at Fem
way against the Red Sox this
season-and both are wounded
war veterans.
Gene Bearden turned the trick
for the second time yesterday.
Previously he blanked the Sox,
20, on Boudreau's home run in
q night tilt.
The other southpaw was Lou
Brissie of the Athletics, who did
1t twice, both on AZ scores.
And speaking of figures-pick
q number, any number, and the
chances are its q lucky one for
Satchmo Paige.
He was one of 13 Cleveland
indians in the bullpen yesterday.
When newspapermen joked about
Evening star., 1948-10-05

the overcroWded conditions there,
the aged pitcher replied: That's
how we planned it, man. That's
our lucky number"
Later, when a writer asked him
how many games the series would
go, Satchmo said: -Four. That's
a lucky number for me-"
Cleveland Catcher Jim Hogan
did such a good job of lodging
the railroad station crowd watt
ing to greet the team on its ar
rival here that he inadvertently
lodged his family and a delega-
ton from his home town of Lynn.
Mass.
. His father and brother, Larry,
finally caught up with him at the
teams hotel headquarters.
Just before Boston's Mayor
James M. Curley left City Hall
for the playoff game, he ordered
the fire department sirens sound
ed as soon as the Red Sox copped
the pennant.
Shortly after the game ended,
the wall of sirens could be heard
in the downtown area.
1t was false alarm as far as
the Red Sox were concerned
but not, as it turned out, for the
fire deuartment. There WAS a
two-alarm fire at the Boston
Navy Yard
The Boston City Council
couldn't get a quorum yester-

Mats Trade Sullivan,
Ferrick for Dente,
Browns Shortstop
By q Stoff Correspondent Of The Sfor

BOSTON, Oct. SIN another
"housecleaning move designed to
strengthen the Mats" President
Clark Griffith of the Washington
baseball club announced today that
Shortstop Johnny Sullivan and
Pitcher Tom Ferrick have been
traded to the St. Louis Browns for
Shortstop Sam Dente.
To acquire Dente, a right-hander
hitter who batted .311 with Louis
vile last year before being promoted
to the Boston Red Sox where he
batted .232 in 46 games, Griffith also
sent an undisclosed sum of cash to
the Browns.
Dente, a swarthy ck-haired
resident of North Arlington, N. j.,
has been sought by the Mats for two
years, despite his failure to fulfill
expectations with the Red Sox and
Browns.
A steady and at times fiashy field
err the 25-year-old Dente was kept
on the bench at st. Louis by light
hitting Ed Pellagrini. the Browns
regular shortstop.
OF Italian descent, Cente Is re-
garded by Griflth as a promising
infielder. I'VE secuted him when he
was in the Minors" said Grifhth,
land We'll take a chance that he'll
develop as a hitter. He'll cover more
ground for us at shortstop, tight
ening our defense, and I'm hoping
we can make q hitter Of him." > !.
Sullivan, d notoriously weak hit
ter. had been granted several shots
at becoming the Mats regular short
stop, but failed on each occasion.
Ferrick has won only two games for
the Mats in the past two years in
relief roles. Ferrick came to the
Mats last year from the Browns for
the $4,000 waiver price. The trade
marked Grifnths fourth move in
recent weeks to change the Mats
roster. Previously he sold Outfielder
Larry Drake and Infielder Jim Clark
to Chattanooga.
Griffith then sold Pitcher Ear
Harrist to Kansas City and late,
dispatched Outflelder Garden Gillen.

|Rumor Of Detroit Job
Revived as Harris
Leaves Yankees
BY the Asseeiotsd ersss

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Job Of
leading the New York Yankees il
open again today for the fourth time
since 1916.
Stanley (Bucky) Harris. who
piloted the Yanks to third place this
season after bossing them to the
American League pennant and
World Series triumph in 1947, Is
out in the cold. With Harris idle.
the rumor of a possible connection
with the Detroit Tigers was revived.
The move, which came as no sur
prise, was made yesterday after .
conference among Yankee President
Dan Topping, General Manager
George Weiss and Harris.
In q terse announcement, the
Yanks said the decision not to
renew Harris contract was by "mu.
tual agreement"
Several Candidates.
The new manager will be selected
at q future date, the announcement
added, and the several candidates
do not include "a player active with
the 1948 team"
Rumors had Harris on the way
out for quite some time and the
guess was that either Joe Di Maggie
or Tommy Heinrich, veteran OUT
fielder, would take over.
Among those believed to be con-
sidered for the job are Jim Turner.
former Yankee pitcher, and Bill
Skiff, who led the Yanks' Newark
international League farm club last
year.
Turner has been at the helm Of
the Portland Beavers Of the Pacific
Coast League the last two seasons.
He is credited with developing VIC
Raschi, a 19-game winner for the
Yanks this year.
Another possibility Is Chuck Dres-
sen, onetime manager Of the Gin.
cinnati Reds and now coach OF the
Yanks.
Joined Ysnks In 1916.
Harris joined the Yanks in 1s46
in an executive capacity under
Larry MacPhail. During that sea-
son, Joe Mccarthy, Bill Dickey and
Johnny Neun piloted the Yanks.
After Neun was released at the
end of the season Harris was per-
suaded to relinquish his executive
post and don the managerial fan
nels for 1947, MacPhail's last year
in the Yankee picture.
Harris, 81 years old, began his,
organized baseball career with Mus
kegon in the Central League in
1916. He advanced to the majors
as second baseman with WASH
ington in 1919.
Five years later, at the age Of IS.
he became manager Of the Senators
and acquired the nickname boy
wonder" when he led the Senators
to the 1924 pennant and world
series triumph over the New York
Giants. He guided the Senators
to the pennant again the following
season, his last flag winner until
he brought the Yanks home In 1947.
Shifted to Detroit.
Harris led the Senators through
fis28, and then shifted to Detroit,
where he managed through 1888.
building up a Tiger machine that
won pennants in 1894 and 1895. He
went to Boston in 1894 and re-
turned to Washington In 1885, 70.
naming there through 1912.
Bucky started the 1943 season a.
head of the National League Phila-
delphia Phillies. He was released
in the latter part of the season.
The next three seasons he was at
Buffalo, the first two as manager
and the final In the front ONCE.
Shortly after joining the Yanks.
Harris was offered the lucrative
job as general manager of the
Tigers. MacPhail persuaded Harris
to turn it down, and Billy Evans
finally got the position.
