Washington's Lions are playing
Buffalos Bisons tonight in an
American Hockey League game at
Uline Arena and Coach Frank Beis-
Ter Of the Lions wants his club to
pour 1t on. The players say they
will.
Beisler has a mad on against the
Buffalo team and doesn't care who
knows 1t. He was a player with
them at one time and coached them
to the American league champion
ship in ls46 and to the playoff semi
final the next year. Yet he was re-
leased to Baltimore last season.
where he won the Eastern League
title With the Cutters.
II got royal kicking around as
soon as Eddie Shore pulled out OF
Buffalo and haven't forgotten it.
Beisler said today. Now that I'm
back In the American league I'm
going to pour 1t on the Bisons when

have promised to back me up"

II McNary or Parker have eXpe-

Kinney as our seasoned big boys

at. least three.
Look what we're up against.
Chuck Halbert Of Boston is 6-10
and so is Arnold Risen of Roch-

"Okay, so we have two big
men. The way I figure it, you
have to be equipped with at least
three men of 6-6 and up and
one OF them has to be 6-8. The
third man is essential because
one of the other big men is going
to get tired, foul out of a game

You need those big men for
offensive and defensive rebounds

want big man on the pivot and

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. n.
Its going to be hard to find
enough Southern football players
to 60 around If plans for another
North South game are accom-.
plished.
That's the opinion Of Champ
Pickens, manager of the Blue
Gray game played here each year
by all-star teams from the North

came after disclosure that Shrin-
ers in Miami are planning a
North South game OF their own.
Pickens said it's plenty tough
already to get Southern players
because Of the number Of Dixie
teams playing in Bowl games.
Another all-star game would
stretch the thin Gray line" even
thinner, he added.
Pickens also said the Miami
Shriners cannot use the Blue

WINSTON-sALEM, N. c., Oct. "a.
Two used auto dealers were free
today acquitted Of charges Of "nx-
ing" q baseball game. A third man,
Pitcher Manager Bernard De Forge,
faced a year in jail.
De Forge, 81, former field boss Of
the Reidsville, N. c., team in the
Glass G Carolina League, pleaded
guilty to throwing the game between
his team and Winston Salem the
night of May Il, 1948.
A jury deliberated / hour and 81
minutes yesterday and acquitted w.
c. McWaters and Tommy Phillips,
used auto dealers Of Clover, s. c.,
who had pleaded innocent.
A fourth man indicted on the
same bribery conspiracy charges
died before the trial. He was EN-
manuel Weingarten, former owner
Of the Florence, 8. c., Tri-State
League team, and the Leakesville,
N. G., Blue Ridge League club.
Threw Game, De Forge Admits.
De Forge, who turned States evi-.
dence. testified he discussed throw
ing Carolina League games with
Weingarten and McWaters. He also
told the court he saw to 1t that
Reidsville lost to Winston Salem by
three runs on the night Of May IA
and that McWaters gave him $500
after the game.
Winston-Salem won that game,
SO, and was leading at the start of
the eighth inning. 20. At that
point, De Forge took the mound for
his team and walked three batsmen
and tossed a wild pitch to allow
three runs to score.
Superior Court Judge Allen H.
Gwyn, after the acquittal Of Nc
Waters and Phillips, declared:
Il have no doubt that he (De
Forget met in Reidsville with Wein-
garten and McWaters. The jury has
spoken, and Of course, they do their

Turning to De Forge, who was
forbidden to participate in organized
baseball for the remainder Of his
life by George M. Trautman, presi-
dent Of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues, last
spring, Judge Gwyn said:
"You are one Of the most pa

GaviIan Shows Glass,
But Foes Injury Is
Aid in Victory

Kid Gavilan, the welterweight
title contender from Cuba, is the
classiest fighter to show in Wash
ington so far in the young indoor
season. He displayed all the attri-
butes of q first-class ringman last
night at Uline Arena while earning
a sixth--rourd technical knockout
against Winnie Rossano Of New
York. and it's understandable how
he gave Ray Robinson q good argu-
ment recently in New York.
He's a fast combination boxer
and slugger. with a particularly
effective left hand with which he
hooked and jabbed in big league
style last night.
Immediate cause Of Rossano's
downfall was a broken right hand.
Several small bones in the back OF
his hand were fractured in the first
round and he was unable to use 1t
properly. Finally in the sixth the
pain was too much for him to con-
tinue. He pluckily tried to start
several rallies after being hoored
In the first round, but Gavilan's S
class and Rossano's injury made 1t
a one-sided, although hotly' con-
tested; battle.
A turnout of l,244 customers paid
a gross gate Of s3,06l.3s and q net
of $2,159.22.
The semifinal also was a good
fight, with Fuggy Lyons. local
welter, and Bucky Slocum Of Phila
delphia boxing to a draw. In pre-
Inns, Rufus Berry decisoned Joe
Flood. and Julian Keene won over
Norval Gaddis, both in fours, and
Clem Simmons defeated Forsene

Slit Tongue Does
Not Aid Talking

Wildlife officials Of the Ohio Di-
vision of Conservation have been
asked to advise if the Sitting of
crows tongue will enable him to
make like a parrot.
The popular belief is that if you
slit the tiny membrane that sup
ports the underside Of the tongue
of certain birds it will improve
their ability to talk. "a lot of
folks are anxious to find some
method of Sitting certain humans
tongues to make them talk like a
clam.)
Sitting the tongue of bird is
a cruel practice and the result just
doesn't justify the action. Crows
magpies, blue jays, brown thrash
ers and some other species often
learn to speak words and even
sentences almost as we'll as par
rots. Crows and magpies in par
ticular can often be taught to talk
but their ability in this respect is
not favorahly affected by any oper-
alton on the tongue.
The experts claim that the most
| practical way to encourage a birc
to talk is to confine it to a quiet
| room and upon entering the room
! the person should speak one single
word distinctly. BY this means 8
vocabulary of a talking bird car
be considerably increased until il
| will speak a number of words anC
phrases.

and the second is expected to be
on duty next week.
Preparatory to beginning their
summer patrol schedule, the cruis-
ers were given complete engine
overhauls, radio check-ups and
paint jobs.
The EOD boats will patrol the
restricted area Of the lake on all
days there is proof firing on the
