You, the Oklahoma quarter

North Carolina defense carefully
each play during your first two
series of downs.
To your surprise, the Tar
Heels are using a straight 6-3-2
defense (six linemen, three line

After recovering a tumble on
the North Carolina 80 late in
the first quarter. you decide to
hit their vulnerable spot on first

these plays /. 2. 8 and 4:

IS SERIES HERO BECOMES GOAT
MuH Turns Amoros
Into Pothetic Figure

BROOKLYN, Sept. 81 PA
hero one year a goat the
next"
That was Manager Walt Al
ston's sympathetic reference to
Sandy Amoros, whose muf of an
easy fly ball yesterday opened
the gates for three Philadelphia
runs and the subsequent 7-3 loss
which may cost the Dodgers the
pennant.
Amoros, scared stiff by the
realization of what his damaging
second-inning error could mean,
played in a daze the rest of the
day. He later bobbled a ball,
misplaced another and twice
threw to the wrong base which
accounted for other Philadelphia
runs.
The likeable Cuban's first mis-
play undoubtedly unnerved Don
NeWcombe. The big pitcher
promptly hit the next batter to
fill the bases and followed it up
by serving a well-tagged two
Dagger to Roy Smalley.
"Newk was really boiling as he
came into the dugout after the
inning" Carl Furillo related
later. He came over to Aston
and growled, Get that guy out
OF there and put somebody in
there who can catch the ball. .
Aston. of course, paid no heed
to his irate 26-game winner. In
stead, he defended Amoros and
pointed out that Sandy had saved
the 1855 world championship for
Brooklyn with his spectacular

The Senators may be more de-

Of the Tigers was announced
today by Spike Briggs, club

Tigers from 1929 to 1898, took

son. when he yielded the job Of

finish in the same spot this year

There have been strong indi-
cations recently that Harris will
join the Boston Red Sox organ

General Manager Joe Cronin.
Some reports have predicted that
Harris will take over the top
front-office job at Boston, with
Cronin shifting to San Francisco
to handle the Red Sox' West
Coast farm club and blueprint
possible future expansion of the
American League to include
California.
In his letter of resignation,
Harris referred to a story that
quoted the Tigers new owners
as saying the 1857 manager of
the club would be a fiery, ag-
gressive manager who will get
out on the field and fight for his
players"
/ A syndicate headed by radio
executive Fred Knorr of Detroit
purchased the Tigers in mid
summer for a record price of
SIS million. 1t was Knorr who
made the statement about the
type of manager who would run
the club. He has said no de-
cision on the 1857 Detroit man
ager will be made until after the
World Series.
Harris said obviously that

In announcing the resignation,
Briggs issued this statement:
Il have personally admired
Bucky all my life, and feel that
this move of his will work out for
the best. We have had our ups
and downs, but I shall always
have great respect for Bucky as
a gentleman and for his ability

pregnant, mean - and so he went rushing
straight to her house on Water Street. But one
of SalIys neighbors told him she'd gone back to
Mary Manuelo's because she had the wrong
laundry. So Jeff ran all the way back to Mary's
with that pink dress in his hand. Mary said he
was waving ii like flag when he came crashing
through her gate. Isn't that sweet?'
Sweet isn't the word for it, said. "And he
found Sally there?"
''Yes, she was in the front yard and ran to
meet him, and Jeff just smothered her in his
arms. Mary said that once he'd kissed her -
Sally, mean - there was nothing more to it,
They just laughed when Mary told them of the
trick she'd played on them, and Sally said she'd
have to start family now. because Jeff had run
all down Water Street waving that baby dress.
Then they both kissed her = Mary, mean -
and walked out Of her yard with their arms
around each others waists. So that's one mar
riage saved = thanks to Mary Manuelo."
] agreed heartily, and Jane kissed me to
show she had no hard feelings because I'd
declined to be sentimental about the WheelerS.
So everybody was happy, including me, because
I'd established precedent for not getting en-
tangled in the lives of my neighborS.
Such precedent was important to me. not
because I'm particularly selfish or antisocia, but
because, after all, man must think first Of his
own life and work. So l was grateful to Mary
ManueIo for honoring my request to her, which
was not to tell anyone that I'd given her the idea
Of using that baby dress. - The End
