travel agencies operate special
tours from the North each year,
The conducted spring trips include
other Southern spots of history
and beauty as well. Invariably,
however, they are timed to catch
the floral display. Tours began
departing from New York and
Chicago this week end.
Large areas of the Deep South
have basked in the fairest of jan
uaries, and the woodlands are
coming to life with the coloring
of mountain laurel, May roses and
dogwood. For generations such
scenes have inspired trips south
ward for an early greeting of
spring. But in recent years, they
have come to mean also an oppor-
tunity to gain a deeper apprecia-
ton of the Old South. 1t is the
one season when ordinary travel
ers are invited to enter venerable,
gracious lived-in mansions of the
romantic ante-bellum era.
Among the better-known tours
of historic homes are those Of
Charleston, s. c., and along the
Natchez Trace in Mississippi. Each
of these will open in March and
continue four weeks. First Is the
Natchez Pilgrimage. March 5
through April 3. Completing the
tour of the 81 homes in the
Natchez area requires a full three
days. The historic Charleston
Foundation selected March 81
through April 16. Two tours are
scheduled daily. Mondays through
Fridays, with one tour on Satur-
day morning.
Sponsors of both events suggest
overnight accommodations be re-
served in advance. In addition to
hotels, rooms are available in pri-
vate homes. Charleston arranged
to list residence rooms with the
Daniel Ravenel Co., Travel Bu-

history.
From 1740 to 1850, Charleston
houses were built with heavy
brick walls. usually two stories
high. They resemble strongly
the characteristics of Georgian
England. The steep tile roofs
were bell-shaped. The majority
of these houses fall into two
general types. the single house
and the double house" These
types frequently included a one
or two-story piazza on the front
or side. a feature which became
even more popular a century
later.
The Georgian style dwelling OF
Colonial days boasted delicately
nodded cornices and trim, lacy
ironwork twined on windows and

The rich interiors Of later

houses reflected the elegant Geor-
gian mode of heavy paneling. fine
mantels, cove ceilings and classic

showed Chippendale touch.
Many of the better Georgian
Colonial buildings still stand in
Charleston. Considering their
age, they are in excellent condi-
ton. There are the Miles Brew
ton House (circa 1859, the
Horny House (circa 175D and the
Colonial Robert Brewton House

BROOKLYN, Sept. S.-Brook-
lyn's Spider Jorgensen and the
Boston Braves Eddie Stanky
nursed slight injuries today re-
sulting from the liveliest field
skirmish of the major league
season.
At the same time they waited
to see what action President Ford
Frick might take on the flareup
Of tempers and the bit of fist
swinging that popped up in the
fifth inning of the game last night
at Ebbets Field.
Jorgensen tangled with Stanky's
spikes as he slid into second base
trying. to break up a double play.
The, double play was. completed
but Jorgensen came up swinging.
Later he said he thought Stanky
came down on him with his spikes
Intentionally.
: Players and coaches rushed out
on the field and for a while it
appeared there might be a real
fracas.
But the two antagonists were
parted without too serious dam
tage and were hauled from the
field by players. Stanky was
lugged off by the heels by Gil
Hodges. Brooklyn first baseman.
Plate Umpire Babe Pinelli made
their departure official. He BAN
ished the two players from the
game.
Today Pinelli and Third Base
Umpire Scotty Robb are expected
to make their report to Frick.
More punitive action may be
forthcoming although the fight
was regarded as I mild one.
Both JorgenseM and Stanky in
sisted neither landed a blow.
Stanky later went by Jorgensen's S
dressing room and said he was
sorry it happened.
With Jorgensen on first and
one out, Brooklyn's Jackie Robin
son grounded to Connie Ryan at
third. Ryan forced Jorgensen

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The
American League pennant story
for 1949 has been written graphi-
cally in one page. Barring an
unlikely switch in the plot, Joe
Page has delivered the flag to the
New York Yankees with one of
the classic relief pitching per-
formances.
New York today owned a two
and -one- -half-game bulge over the
Boston Red SoX following its So
conquest here last night before a
tense throng of 66,785. And the
man who hung the Red Sox faI
out on the line. fading in the sun
set stage of the pennant race
was Page.
Two games remain in the cur
rent New York-Boston series but
the Yankees now are assured OF
being in command when the Red
SoX leave town. A schedule op-
Grating in favor of the Yankees
for the remainder of the season
generally is expected to crush Bos-
tons bid for first place.
Already installed as one of base
balls more finished firemen. Page
quenched Boston's raging ambi-
ton with an artistic job when he
took the long hike from the Yam
KEGS bullpen to the mound in the
eighth inning at time when New
York was leading, 80. Bobby
Doerr was on third as the result
of a mighty triple and one out.
Page Smothers Fire.
In that crisis Page got Al zarilla
on weak pop to Second Baseman
Jerry Coleman then he whipped
a called third strike past Bill
Goodman.
Phil Rizzuto's bunt and Bobby
Browns home run blast into the
right field stands increased the
Yankees margin to it's final pro-
portions in the eighth. but Page
required no additional attack. He
struck out Birdie Tebbetts on
three pitches to start Boston's
ninth. Pinch-hitter Matt Bats
like Tebbetts, looked at a third
strike. Dom Di Maggie went down
swinging. Page disposed of them
on II pitches. only one Of which
was a ball.
Yesterdays appearance marked
Pages 49th this season, and the
18th time he's come to Allie Reyn-
olds' rescue. Allie has won nine
of those II, and the Yankees have

olds to his 18th victory, but as

2-1 lead.
That blow, which Leftfielder
Ted Williams missed snaring by
inches. landed at the base Of
screened boxes and ricocheted
weirdly into center field. Pinch
runner George Stirnweiss whisked
around the bases with the tying
run as Dom Di Maggie pursued
the ball and whipped it to Short
stop Vernon Stephens.
Stephens, the leagues top run
producer, was no hero last night.
He famed twice, failed to hit
and in firing that relay to Third
Baseman Johnny Pesky he hit
Johnson on the back. The ball
caromed toward the Red Sox dug
out and barely trickled in, en-
abling johnson to score.
Red Sox Muff Opportunity.
Brown. who also accounted for
two of the Yankees six hits off
Kramer. presented the Yankees
| eighth-inning insurance. RiZzuto
beat out bunt which Pesky bob
bled. Cliff Mapes sacrificed and
Brown applied the crusher.
Boston missed it's opportunity
to blow the game wide open in
the first two innings. when a
shaky Reynolds walked six of the
first II men he faced. He walked
Don Di Maggie, Pesky and Will
liams to launch the game. but an
overanxious Stephens wasn't will
ing to allow Reynolds to hang
himself with his wildness.
Reynolds had pitched only one
strike in walking Pesky and Will
liams, but Stephens cut at his
first two pitches. Allie drove Ver-
non back with an inside pitch,
then made him miss horribly on
another inside shot.
Bobby Doerr, who. contributed
three of Boston's four hits off
Reynolds and Page, singled to
center, scoring Dom Di Maggie
and Pesky. Zarilla went out on
a fly but Goodman walked to fill
the bases again. Tebbetts left
three stranded with a fly to Joe
Di Maggie. a
With two out in the second
inning Reynolds walked Pesky and
Williams, but Charley Keller
romped back near the leftfield rail
to stab Stephens deep drive.
Thereafter Reynolds was less
liberal, he walked Tebbetts in the
sixth and wild-pitched him to third

dirt with two out, but famed
