NEW YORK, Oct. s.-Casey
Stengel was talking in large.
round circles. as usual. touching
his subjects only casually on the
tour and winding up just where
he started.
He was giving his customary
pre-game monologue in the dugout
before yesterdays World Series
game and the big question he was
bouncing around was whether he
was quitting his job of managing
the Yankees, as was reported.
II can quit any time, or they
can fire me-" he was saying with
the exaggerated wink he uses as
an exclamation point. "Of course,
If I was sick, that would be some-'
thing else again / couldn't very
well manage the club from a hos
pital bed. In fact. it's hard
enough managing it right here"
The questioning persisted, and
Casey continued circling and
sidestepping.
IF you've. got bundle of cash
tucked away and want to bet I
haven't got a two-year contract
with a year to go, just get it up"
he said. I'm dig up the contract
and show it to YOU.
Tell you what I'll do" he said
with sudden inspiration. "ITl an

this winter. and you all can get
a nice ride down there for the
press conference"
"You really going to South

MY wife says I'm going" Casey
said dryly. "At least that's what I
read In the paper. And she's pretty
boSsy about those things"

still was floating around some

The big fellow relaxed on his

with himself.
"It's a terrifying feeling. going

thing right at the plate"
Joe DiMaggio spoke softly after
the Yanks' 6-2 victory over the

what I was doing wrong. It was

but it was happening-and to me. !"
Profitable Afternoon.
Joe reached for a cigarette. It
had been, indeed, a most profitable
afternoon for him. A pathetic
figure in the first three series
games. the Yankee Clipper
snapped out of his batting slump
with a two-run homer and a single.

BY the Associated Press

LAUREL. Md, Oct. with
pickets trimming the Laurel race
tracks five entrances. AFL union
officials and members drew up
their next move in a meeting to-
day at Baltimore.
Meanwhile, the track manage
ment went ahead with plans to
open on schedule tomorrow for a
l4-day meeting.
Negotiations between manage
ment and Local 248l8 Mutuel
Ticket Agents (AFL) broke off
abruptly yesterday. The union,
which claims to represent a ma
jority of the workers who handle
the bets. set up picket lines.
A crew of repairmen from the
Laurel Branch of the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. refused
to try to cross the lines. One driver
who was asked if he'd try to get In
replied. "It's a union. isn't it,.
Then he sped away.
First Race at 1880.
A track spokesman said today,
I'VE have been assured of an ade-
quate staff and We will start rae

A union official promised to
have the picket lines "SOlid nv
Wednesday,"
The management planned TO
hold roll call this afternoon to
begin assigning mutuel clerks to
Jobs. Laurel officials already have
signed a contract with the Inde-
pendent Association of Pari-
Mutuel Employees of Maryland. II
repeatedly calls for a S per cent
increase over their previous pay.
AFL union leaders called out
the pickets Sunday after objecting
to a work application sheet which
had no-strike pledge in it. That
was the immediate spark that set
of the current walkout, although
the union jurisdictional issue has
been brewing for some time.
No-Strike Pledge Involved.
Track operators asked about 300
mutuel employees to sign the no.
strike pledge for the current meet
ing. Edward H. Johns, executive
secretary of the Baltimore Fedora
tion of Labor, contended only
about so or so accepted the pro-
|posal.
But John D. Schapiro, track
president, insisted that a Sub
stantial majority" agreed to it.
In their meeting today, the AFL
membership plans to take up the
no-strlke issue again. After the
breakup Of yesterdays talks, Johns
declared the AFL union would
make its decision today, but there
was no scheduled conference with
management.

Veeck, who acquired controlling interest
in the Browns late in the summer, normally
is not a man to put idols on pedestals. But
apparently Hornsby is on Bills pedestal.
Probably it all dates back to the days of long
ago. when Hornsby was the star and playing
manager Of the Chicago Cubs.
Bill was only kid in those days, for
this was 20 years ago. Weeks father, one
time sports writer, had been big wheel in

Michigan State Tops
|AP Poll Again, but
California Gains
BY the Assoeiased Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Michigan
State still rates as the No. l coll
legt football team, but not by any
great margin.
The Associated Press second
weekly Nationwide poll Of the
season gave Coach Biggie Munn's
Spartans from East Lansing q 10-
point edge on California with
Tennessee not far back in third
place.
Michigan State was ranked first
by AZ of the 112 writer's and broad
casters participating in the poll
and received total of 971 points
on the basis of 10 points for first,
nine for second and so on.
So Pick California.
California was No. / on SO
ballots and received strong sup
port for other high positions to
roll up 961 points. Tennessee. the
preseason No. / choice, received
821 tallies, with 180 of them COM
ing from 18 first-place selections.
The top three teams were in
the same order in the first poll
last week, but Michigan State
held a much larger lead while
Tennessee pressed the Bears for
Irunner-up honors.
Many voters apparently thought
more of California's 55-14 con-
quest of Minnesota than Michi-
gan States come-from- behind
1920 triumph over Ohio State
and Tennessee's 800 whitewash Of
Duke.
Oklahoma's 14-7 setback by the
Texas Aggies was disastrous to the
Sooners insofar as the poll is con-
cerned. Last years No. / team
dropped from the fourth spot last
week to 18th with only 102 votes.

Sooners as No. 4, moving up from
the bottom rung in the first ten.

Senator Denies Rumor
Omaha Fired Corninq
As Superintendent

A whispering campaign that
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
was fired as administrator of thal
Omaha, Nebr., school system be-
fore coming here was brought into
the open today by defense of DR..
Corning by Senator Butler, Re-
publican, of Nebraska.
Senator Butler. in a letter to c.
Melvin Sharpe, president of the
Board of Education, branded the
stories as false.
Mr.. Butler is from Omaha
where DR.. Corning served asl
school superintendent from 1940I
to 1916. DR.. Corning resigned that
position to come to Washington
on March l, 1916.
Without attempting to assess
his work IN the Washington
schools. or influence the boards
decision" Senator Butler declared,
Il feel compelled in fairness to all
concerned to set the record
straight on this matter"
Term Expires Next March.
The Board of Education cur
rently Is trying to decide whether
to reappoint DR.. Corning to the
superintendency. His present
three year term expires on
March /.
The boards Personnel Commit
tee, which is making an evalua-
ton Of his service as superintend-
ent, has scheduled another meet
ing for 10 am. Saturday. Mr.
Sharpe said 1t was hoped the
matter could be settled at the
meeting and if it was, a special
meeting of the full board probably
would be called next week.
Senator Buffers letter follows:
1T has come to my attention
that through anonymous tele-
phone calls and certain letters
that have appeared in the press,
story is being circulated that DR..
Hobart M. Corning was dismissed
from his position of superintend-
ent Of schools in Omaha or that
he resigned under, pressure. This
claim is so unfair to DR.. Corning
and so contrary to the facts as Il
know them that I take this means
to give the Board of Education
and the public the correct infor-
nation.
No Pressure to Resign.
"Dr. Corning ably served as
school administrator in Omaha
from September, 1910, to March l.
1916. 1t came as great disap-
pointment and surprise to the
people of Omaha when he an
nounced his new contract with
the school board of Washington,
D. c.. and submitted his resigna-
tion.
AT no time to my knowledge
was there any pressure on DIR.
Corning to resign nor any ma
terial criticism of his administra-
tion of the Omaha school system.
Without attempting to assess his
work in the Washington schools
or influence the boards decision,
I feel compelled in fairness to all
concerned to set the record
straight on this matter. I am
sure. Mr.. Sharpe that the Dis
trict School Board will fairly as
sess DR.. Corning's administra-
tion, free of scurrilous or un-
founded personal attacks which
may have been made upon him."
