.Chisari Of Maryland
Is Named Football
Mentor al {. u.

Twenty-five-year-old Tom Chisari,
former University Of Maryland
player, is the new coach of Catholic
University's football team. His ap-
pointment was announced yesterday
by Athletic Director Eddie La Fond
to succeed Gene Augusterfer, who
resigned recently to devote full time
to his restaurant business.
Chisari was Augusterfer's assistant
coach last year when the Cardinals
returned to the gridiron after q
wartime lapse. and learned his foot
ball under Augusterfer when he
played at st. Johns before going to
Maryland.
At Maryland. where he played
under Coaches Doc Spears and Clark
Shaughnessy, Chisari was an OUT
standing blocking back and fullback.
He was graduated In 1947. He also
was considered one of the city's best
players in his high school days at
st. Johns.
Chisari will have practically the
same team at Catholic U. that won
three and lost three last season. The
Cardinals face an eight-game slate
this season.

The Brooklyn Dodgers are max
ing the pennant talk of their presi-
dent, Branch Hickey, and their new
manager, Burt Shotton, sound like
something more than idle chatter.
In last place a little more than
two weeks ago, and apparently hope
lessly out of the National League
pennant race, the revived Dodgers
today are right back in the thick of
the pennant fight, trailing only the
front Boston Braves.
Whether it is the "Shotton" the
arm it received from the change in
managers or the injection of new
blood by the addition of Catcher
Roy Campanella and Outfielder
George SHuba, the fact remains
Brooklyn has played the best base
ball in the league over the last 10
days.
During the stretch the Brooks
have won IA games and lost only
three for an 1924 percentage. They
won nine of II under Leo Durocher,
and five out Of six under Burt
Shotton. They currently are en-
joying one of their best road jaunts
in years, having captured six of
seven from their Western foes.
Ignored Rickey's Words.
Hardly anybody took Rickey's
words even with a grain of salt
when, after announcing Shotton as
the new manager, he added: IT
still think we will win the pennaflt-" !"
That was week ago. Even when
Shotton voiced Rickey,s sentiments
IL made no great impression on the
listeners. They were then tied for
fourth, 81a games behind the Braves.
The outlook is much brighter for
the Dodgers today. Their SO victory
over the Cubs in Chicago yesterday,
together with Boston's 9-6 loss to
the Reds in Cincinnati, advanced
Brooklyn to within 6h games of the
Braves. They are only four games
behind in the important losing side.

I haven't had much success. I've

answer is always the same
Sorry, we're all filled up"
Wilson, now 48 years old, had
much the same troubles after
glorious baseball year in 1890.
He set the National Leagues
home run record of 56 that sea-
son with the Chicago Cubs, only
four less than Babe Ruth's all
time high. The 100 runs he drove
in made a record which still
stands for major leagues.
The feats gained the swagger-
ing slugger the National Lea
gue's unofficial "most valuable
player" award.
The tide turned swiftly then.
He slumped to .261 batting
average and 13 home runs the
next season. Before it was over
he was suspended for breaking
training and ordered traded.
The St. Louis Cardinals took
him, but snapped Wilson to
Brooklyn before the 1882 season
started. He had two mediocre
seasons with the Dodgers. They
put him on the block in 1884.
The Philadelphia Phillies gave
him a chance. He lasted one
month.
That about ended Wilson's
baseball career. He played some
more with Albany in the Inter-
national League, quitting in 1885.
Since his departure from base
ball Wilson has spent most Of his
