Sawyer Had Konstonty Tabled
In '48 as HurIer Worth Gamble
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-Long
after the 1850 World Series is for
gotten they'll tell the story of Jim
Konstanty.
How Eddie Sawyer. a Johnny
come Lately to the major league
scene, dared to start his relief
pitcher against the Brawny
Yankees in the opening game of
his first World Series.
How he almost won his daring
gamble-might have won it if Vic
Raschi didn't pick the same cool
October afternoon to pitch a 10
2-hit shutout.
Why did Sawyer take this
chance with his reputation at
stake?
1t goes back to spring day in
1948. Toronto was getting ready
to open the international League
season. Sawyer, moved up from
Utica, N. Y, during the winter,
had graduated into Triple A. Kon-
stanty was just another pitcher
on the club.
During spring training Kon-
stanty watched Sawyer fuss with
the young pitchers. He felt left
out. >~-'
Eddie he asked. Where do
fit in? I'm 80. Last winter you
told me I would get a chance with
the Phils. Then you changed
your mind.
Sawyer. quietly efficient, calmed
his fears.
In July, Sawyer moved up to
manage the Phils, saying nothing
to bespectacled jim. But his sue
cessor, Jack Sanford. told Kon-
stanty Sawyer is going to take
care of you."
After the 1948 season, Kon-
stanty was called up to the parent
club. Sawyer started using him
on relief. He pitched in six games
and won one.
Next spring it looked like Kon-
stanty had been forgotten. The
Phils bought Ken Trinkle, a re-
liefer. from the Giants during the
winter. He was the fair haired
boy" of the training camp. He got
the write-ups in the papers.
But as Trinkle failed, Konstanty
found Sawyer calling for him to

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-The
dressing rooms of the Yankees and
the Phillies, after the first World
Sereis game, reflected four things
clearly:
/. Both teams still were emo
tionally spent from the hot pen
nant races.
2. Both teams realized they were
over the hump in winning the big
cash prize.
3. Neither team is yet fully fired
up with eagerness to become world
champions-that comes in a day
or two.
4. Above all, the Yankees, old
professional campaigners. take vic
tory as a matter of course.
Both dressing rooms were placid
after the brilliant pitching duel in
which Vic Raschi of the Yankees
bested Jim Konstanty of the Phil
lies, 10. The Yankees sat on two
long benches against the wall of a
narrow room, looking at each
other in silence. The Phillies moved
around a little, but accepted de-
feat more calmly than might be
expected from such a young team.
Pitching Was Everything.
The reason for this is fairly
simple. Ball players first. of all
set out to win the league cham
pionship. That means a cut in
the World Series prize. For each
player on winning team in a
series such as the present one it
means about $500 in cash; for
player on the losing team about
| $4,250.
But If the Yankees or the
Phillies had finished second in
their league races-and both came
close to 1.-THE prize would have
been only $1,000. Third-place
players get about $3.50, fourth
place, $3.50.
| So when the Yankees and the
Phillies clinched the pennants it
meant they had chance to win
$500 in the Series, but could
not get less than about $4,250-
quite different from $1,000. That's
why the final games of the pen
nant race were charged with so
much dressing room excitement.
The series excitement comes as
the climax is approached.
Yesterday was a story of pitch
ing craftsmanship.
Some one asked Phil Rizzuto
of the Yankees why he was so
glum.
Don't think there is anything

Boudreau-t Chicago
Answer Is Expected
Within Two Weeks ;
BY the Associoied Press

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. Sis Lou
Boudreau. popular manager of the
Indians, Chicago-bound at last?
The question, first broached a
year ago when Bill Veeck came
close to trading Boudreau to the
White Sox, and revived again last
June when Lou again was offered
to the same club, may be an
swered within the next two weeks.
The White SoX will be without
manager after next week when
the Board of Directors meet in
Chicago and officially hand current
skipper John (Red) Corriden his
release. White Sox officials are
silent on the matter, bat it was
learned that they already have de-
cided to replace the 63-year-old
Corriden. who took over the reins
in mid-SeaSon.
That move will pave the way for
one of two men under consider
alton to get the job. Top priority
will go to Boudreau, if available
The other candidate held in high
esteem is Paul Richards, manager
of the Seattle Raineers in the Pa
cific Coast League.
Reports circulating aroun
World Series headquarters here
have the White Sox dickering with
Charlie Dresser and Rogers
Hornsby as Corriden's successor.
Don't put any stock in that
rumor," a White Sox official said
Neither is being considered"
1t is hard to pin either the In
dians or White Sox down to a
definite statement regarding Bou-
dreau. The Indians insist that
Boudreau'S contract, which eX-
pired at the end of the season, will
be discussed in due time. They
claim that no thought has been
given to the matter of hiring or
firing him.
It is known the White Sox hold
Boudreau's managerial capabilities
in high regard and would not be
averse to having him as manager
The catch is this. They are not
willing to give anything for him
either by way of players or money.

Sub for Heinrich

Saves 1.0Lead
PIoy in Ninth Helps
Roschi Top Konstonty
In Series Opener
By Burton Howkins
Star Stoff CORRESPONDENT

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-There
was sting of sentimental reaction
when Casey Stengel clipped Tom
my Heinrich from the Yankees
World Series eligibles on the eve
of the conflict. But there was evil
dence that the move had touch
of genius. The Yanks beat the
PhilS, 10, in the Series start.
Many felt Tommy, a popular
and formerly highly proficient
player, got bum rap. If Heinrich
hasn't been the backbone of the
Yankees for years, he at least has
shared that distinction with Joe
Di Maggie. Rare are the hitters
who struck fear into opposing
pitchers in tight situations as did
Heinrich in his prime.
Old Reliable was just that, a
team man who delivered so fire.
quently that it became custom. So
it came as a shock when the New
York manager made a deal with
the Phillies Tuesday that ousted
Tommy. He agreed to let the Ma
tional League champions use a
pair of hitherto ineligibles if they
would consent to his supplanting
Heinrich with Johnny Hopp.
Cold -Blooded Move.
1t was a cold-blooded move.
Henricn is a Yankees symbol,
much in the manner of Babe
Ruth, Lou Gehrig. Bill Dickey.
Di Maggie and other illustrous
performers.
Heinrich repeatedly first was in

Manager George Weiss. Tommy
said, bravely, Whatever Casey
thinks is all right with me-"
Later, however, when writer ap-
preached him and said, II don't
like it, Tommy" Heinrich replied,
Il .!on't get it either"
So Stengel is no sentimental
ist, but as a strategist he ranks
higher. An outstanding figure in
the Yanks' 10 conquest of the
Phillies in the first game of the
World Series here yesterday was
Hopp, while the suddenly dis
carded Heinrich wasn't even per-
mitted to sit on the Yankees
bench.
StengerS job is to win and in
order to win he must decide,
without sympathy, what men are
likely to do the job for him. He

Early. Heavy Applications

The late treated wheat did not

The plots that received the early
treatments showed from 11.25 per-
cent of deformed heads for the low
est rate of 2,4-D to 68.75 percent for
the highest rate. The average num-

ed wheat varieties ranged from "
bushels on the lower rate to over 315
bushels on the higher rate.
Krall adds that two or three days
of wind approximately four days be-

the shattering. Also that all plots
were harvested when binder ripe by

they had been harvested with COM
