The Greatest Victory
by Frank O'ROurlxe


Americas outstanding writer of
baseball fiction gives us a dozen
stories about baseball. Each story
has the qualities that have made
Frank O'Rourke famous-dramatic
punch, a sense of sportsmanship,
vivid character portrayal, and ac-
curate baseball information. In
twelve exciting stories he portrays
the whole colorful world of base
ball, the endless variety and sus-
pense, the loyalty and devotion to
the game which brings out the best
in the players, the personal prob
lens and politics which can break
hearts but leave the spirit and will
to win untouched. There is a
wealth of fun and also sympathy
and understanding of people in
these stories that will keep them
fresh in your mind long after you
have closed the pages of this book.

Leohy Rejected
100000 a Year
By the Assaeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The New

quoted Frank Leahy of Notre
Dame as saying he had turned
down $1.000,00o coaching con-
tract. The offer was for 500, 600
a, year for 10 years.
Leahy did not say when he re-
ceived the bid, nor identity the
professional club which pre-
sumably made it.
The Notre Dame coach,who at
tended the annual Baseball Writ
ters' dinner here last night, told
Lewis Burton of the Journal
American he had been so for
tunate financially that money no
longer plays a part in his choice
of a coaching job.
My last coaching job will be
at Notre Dame" he was quoted
by Burton. "It would be anti
climax to coach anywhere else.
I've reached such a fortunate
position in my affairs that right
now I'd gladly pay Notre Dame
what they're paying me for the
privilege Of coaching there.
i get $4,000 year-not $16,-
900, because the past few years
I've been receiving a $1,000 bonus
at the end of the season. I'd glad
ly pay that much for the pleasure

Gene Ronzani Named
To Succeed Lambeau
As Green Bay Coach
By the Assoeicted Press


GREEN BAY, Wis, Feb. Sits
oficial-Gene Ronzani is the new
head coach of the Green Bay
Packers.
Ronzani, former Marquette Uni
versity and Chicago Bears back
field star, was named today to
succeed Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau
as top man of the. National
American Football League club.
Announcement of the signing,
at an undisclosed salary, was
made by Emil r. Fischer, club
president, just five days after
Lambeau resigned to become vice
president and head coach of the
Chicago Cardinals.
Ronzani has had no previous
experience as major league head
coach. Lambeau, with his resig-
nation. ended 81 years at the
helm of the Packers.
The, new Green Bay coach has
been in the Bears organization
since his graduation in 1888 from
Marquette. where he earned nine
varsity letters in football, basket
ball and track. For the last three
seasons, he served as quarterback
coach.
Coached Bears Farm Teams.

first years with the Bears, Ron
zani played in the same backfield
withe Bronko Nagurski, Beatti
Feathers and Carl Brumbaugh.
He was shifted to quarterback in
1887 and two years later coached
the Bears Newark farm team to
a league title. In, 1943 he re-
turned to the Bears as an active
player and quarterbacked the club
during Sid Luckman's naval serv-
ice.
In 1946, Ronzani was sent to an
other Bears farm at Akron, Ohio,
as head coach, but returned the
following yeas to become quarter.

Petit Deal 0kayed
By Chandler, but
Saigh Still Protests
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Commis-
sioner A. B. Chandler has given
the Pittsburgh Pirates a clean bill
of health in their 100000 deal for
a schoolboy pitcher.
The Commissioner said he had
received direct information on the
case and contemplated no further
action.
Fred Saigh, owner of the ST..
Louis Cardinals, announced never
theless that he planned to go
ahead with formal protest to
the commissioners Office, charging
courageous evasion"
The Pirates signed 18-year-old
Paul Petit of Los Angeles last
week in an unusual deal that saw
them forced to barter with film
producer, Frederick Stephani.
While major league clubs
couldn't approach the boy be-
cause he was in school, the pro-
ducer signed him to an $85, 900
movie and television contract.
After Pettit's graduation, Steph-
ami proceeded to deal with inter-
ested major league clubs, finally
settling with the Pirates for 500. :
900. The boy received most of
the money, according to reports.
Chambers special agent, Dick
Butler. investigated the case for
two weeks and then approved the
signing. Chandler indicated he
had received Buffers full report.
The major league executive
council, which met here yesterday,
didn't even take up the matter,
the Commissioner said.
The council did recommend an
amendment to the high school
rule to permit a high school or
college coach to act as a pro
scout. .-
Under the provisions, the coach
would have to have a special con-
tract on file in the commissioners
Office and wouldn't be able to sign
one of his own athletes until a
year after he had left school.
The council also voted to in
crease the salary of Walter Null
bry, secretary treasurer of the
Commissioners Office, from $25, 900
to $50. 900.

Wanted De la Tore Victory.
Most of the 5000 spectators on
the 6,402-yard par 10 Ell Rio
course wanted De la Tore to win.
He carried two-stroke lead into
the final round but faltered. The
young Spanish American went
three over par for a score of 73
for the day and 270 for the n
holes. National Open Champion
Cary Middleeoff had the same
total. Each received 5000.
Jack Burke, jr., White Plains,

and Glen Teal, Memphis, Tenn,
were close behind with totals of

Harper knew that Snead and
De la Tolre weIe fighting each
other in the same threesome wilen
he came to the 10Th hole.
Harper said, "I'd been bouncing
my drives off trees and all over the
course. I'd been over par five
times and had taken only four
brides. I wasn't in good shape
but my putter was working. I
figured I could win if I birdied
the last three holes" He did.
The 18th on Ell Rio is a par
five 513-yard hole. II hit my best
drive of the tournament" Harper
explained. His approach was pin
high but had rolled in the crowd
He Clipped close to the pin and
sank his fourth shot.
Sets Unofficial Record.
Harper set an unofficial putting
record Saturday when he took
only 81 puts on IS greens in
building a 7-under-par So.
The Virginian said, II have al
ways said that if won a major
