I place no credence in what Mr..
Brodson says"
Kentucky Protest Cited.
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
in a dispatch from Minneapolis,
said today that University of Ken
lucky officials twice clashed over
officials with Bushnell and once
threatened to quit playing in New
York. Sports Writer Larry Boeck
wrote that the Kentucky group
refused to head for Minneapolis
and the NCAA finals unless Bush
nell made an adjustment. This
was done, he said.
Asked about Boeck's dispatch,
Bushnell said in New York: "It's
very confused and confusing re-
port, and I have no comment"
The Milwaukee Journal reported
Saturday that Brodson later met
with the committee in closed ses-
sion and supplied the names Of
-four or five teams, several play
ers and two officials"
At this secret session, the paper
said, Brodson was questioned about
an unidentified gambler, from
Miami, Fla, and Steubenville,
Ohio.
The paper asserted Miami police
had supplied the committee with
report of telephone calls made
by the gambler to college football
towns.
There was no confirmation OF
this reported secret session from
Washington.
In New York, the bribe scandal
rebounded with the detention OF
Forman, who is from Jacksonville
Fla. He was released in $4,000
bail.
Accused as Intermediary.
The Manhattan prosecutor S
Office said Forman acted as an
intermediary between gambleks
and players on the City College

to join Yawkey in building up the
Red Sox from a ragtag outfit to q
powerful pennant contender.
Two of his products with the
Aed Sox. of whom he was most
proud, were Ted Williams and
Bobby Doerr. Collins personally
secuted and bought both.
Collins helped Yawkey engineer
the deals which brought Jimmy
Foxx and Lefty Grove to Boston.
He helped build farm system
which now extends from Louis

down through the lower minors.
He holds many baseball records.
He played the most games, 2,651

mother of his two sons. died in
1943. He was married to Mrs.
Emily Jane Hall, a widow, in 1945.
The ceremony was performed by
this son, the Rev. Paul Collins, an
Episcopalian clergyman, who has

A comeback by Trucks-whc

The 5-foot-1l pitcher from

three-run homer to Mike Goliat

But after that, he frightened up

next three innings. In the third

Another home run, this one by
Outfelder Hoot Evers of the
Tigers, was the payoff blow. De-

Manager Red Rolfe was happy
about Trucks work and just as
pleased over the revival of the
Detroit bats. The Tigers blasted
IA hits off the Phillies' best two
pitchers-Robin Roberts and Jim
Konstanty.
Il wouldn't want to go over
board and say Trucks is all set
again. but he sure looked good
most of the time out there to-

Evers' homer also pleased Rolfe
