DiMoggio Goes to Lefty O'DouI
For Advice in Batting Slump

Icommented the man who managed
IDiMaggio when Joe was with San
Francisco in 1885, "It seems to
me, from what I've seen, that
you're getting your body too far
out in front of your arms, and
therefore you're pushing the ball.
You're swinging too hard"
DiMaggio said O'Doul advised
him to cut down on his swing and
change his stance slightly.

Yankees will still win the series,
called the Giants a good club and

Triumph Over Rams
Indicates Browns
Are as Good as Ever
By the Associoted Press

The folks who have been sound
ing taps over the Cleveland
Browns. including their coach,
Paul Brown, can take it all back
today.
The National League champions
looked just about as good as ever
yesterday as they thoroughly
whipped the slightly favored Los
Angeles Rams, 1928. before 67.186
sweltering fans in Memorial
Coliseum at Los Angeles.
The temperature on the field

but when they did the Rams

Browns Alertness Pays Off.
Joe Stydahar, the Rams head
man, put postscript to Browns
assessment after yesterdays con-
test. THE Browns" he said, ARE
stronger than last year"
Alert defensive work, as much
as anything else, accounted for
the surprising victory. Within the
space of two minutes Cleveland
halfbacks intercepted two passes
deep in Los Angeles territory,
scoring on one. setting up tally
on another. That was the two

Holy Cross Eleven
With Army of '4o

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. g.
"The best offensive team I've
faced in all my years of coaching!"
That's what Coach Ed Danowski
thinks Of the Holy Cross eleven
that trounced his Fordham Rams.
A-20, Saturday.
Until now I've always rated the
Army football team of 1949 as the
best extensively, but I think this
Holy Cross team is as good or
BETTER" Danowski declared yester-
day as he prepared to escort his
battered players back to New York.
He conceded that the ARMY
powerhouse of two seasons ago
might have been a little stronger
defensively.
But not much stronger" he
added quickly.
In 1949 the Cadets trampled a
previously unbeaten, united Ford
ham team, $50; ended Michigan's
25-game winning streak, 21-7;
routed Columbia, 63-6, and
whipped Navy. $50, durifHa an

A drastic revision Of Redskins
strategy was in the works today,
following yesterdays 35-14 defeat
by the New York Giants before an
opening day turnout of % 800 fans
at Griffith Stadium. 1t was the
Washington eleven'S secon d
straight defeat, giving it full pos
session Of the National Football
League cellar, with more trouble
coming up next Sunday from the
Browns at Cleveland.
Coach Herman Ball said he was
toying with the idea of using
Harry Gilmer and Bill Dudley on
defense as well as offenSe. posi-
bly, along with Harry Dowda. in
an effort to bolster the team.
Whether the three can go go min
utes is conjectural. but Ball found
himself in a situation calling for
quick drastic action.
Gilmer and Dudley were re-
hearsed on defense all last week
to protect any lead the Redskins
might have in the waning min
utes of a game. They weren't
needed for that purpose yesterday,
but they might have been more eff
fective than the rockies who were
used and couldn't stop The passes
of Charlie Conerly, one time Red
skins property, or the running
Of Kyle Rote and Ed Price.
Quick Action Imperative.
Whether Gilmer can be used
safely on defense depends on the
condition of Sammy Baugh, veter-
an quarterback, who missed the
Giants game because of an ailing
shoulder. To use Dudley, Ball
would have to revise his defensive
plans enough to give Dudley free
dom to do as he pleased and not
play the man-for man style cur
rently in vogue here.
Whatever Ball does must be
done quickly to retain the fans
loyalty, for yesterdays attendance,

play.

to such meeting, and why should
he be consulted, which he was, if
we did not intend to keep him as
the informant asked.

Criticism from all directions was
hurled at Dresser following the
Dodgers heart-rending defeat in
the rubber of the three-game pen
nant playoff last Wednesday.

O'Malley was swamped with
letters and wires demanding the
little shippers removal. Among
other things, Chuck was second

RY the As,eeioted Pres.

NEW YORK. Oct. 8.-Rogers
Hornsby signed to manage the
st. Louis Browns for three years,
Owner Bill 'Veeck announced to-
day. No financial terms were dis
closed except that Hornsby's sal
ary will be the greatest ever paid
a Browns manager.
Hornsby came East for the
World Series from Seattle, where
he managed the Pacific Coast
League entry the last season. He
managed the Browns briefly dur
ing the 1930s, and starred both
as a manager and player with
the st. Louis Cardinals.
Coaches to Be Named Later.
Veeck said Hornsby's coaches
would be determined mutually
later.
When Hornsby left the coast on
his series trip he said he was con-
sidering three offers to return to
the majors. None was identi-
fled.
Hornsby replaces Zack Taylor as
manager of the Browns. When
Veeck, the dynamic redhead who
startled the baseball world with
his crowd-catching methods while
directing the Cleveland Indians,
took over control Of the Browns in
midseason he indicated he would
probably seek new manager.
Taylor has been promised a job
with the Browns organization but
has not indicated whether he will
accept.
Win Title 6 Times In Row.
Hornsby. member of the Hall
OF Fame at Cooperstown, is one of
basebalPs immortals. In his major
league career. which started in
1915, he won the National League
batting championship six times in
a row, starting with 1920 when he
had an average of .370. In 1924
he reached the amazing batting
mark of .424.
In his long career as a second
baseman, he served in turn with
the Cardinals, Giants, Braves,
Cubs and the Browns. He was
player-manager of the Cardinals
in 1925, and in 1926 led the Cardi-
nails to the pennant.
Since 1887, when he was re-
leased by the Browns, Hornsby has
been active in both major and
minor league baseball.

The Senate has passed it's con-

There may be another effort in
