DROP NATIONALS AFTER so YEARS
Griffs Make Nickname
Of Senators Official

The Washington baseball club
henceforth will refer to itself by
the official nickname of "Sena-
tors" instead of Nationals" it
was announced today by Presi-
dent Cal Griffith, who said the
change has been under consid-
Grafton for some time.
1T is clear from the recent
show of support by the citizens
of the community that they want
the club to be considered more
Washington's than the Nations, "
Griffith said. I'VE feel that
Senators gives the club this
closer identification"
Griffith added that he feels
Senators" has dignity and also
is a nickname which has been
identified by fans with WASH
ington baseball since the 1880s.
Although Nationals has been
the official nickname of the
Washington club since 1906
Griffith said. many fans and
newspapers have persisted in
calling the team Senators and
more recently Mats. a shorter
version of Nationals.
I'VE had no objections to that,
nor will we have any now to
their using any or all of these
names. There may even be oc-
casions when. for the sake of
variety. we may be forced to
use Mats and Nationals ourselves.
I'VE are, however. stating our
preference for Senators. and will
use that nickname as SUCH"
The history of the name Sen
Iators goes back to 1886 when

and sportscasters and they went

Roughly n per cent. 143 out
of 1856, named Bud Wilkinson's
Sooners first. Among other con-
tenders, only Georgia Tech,
which moved up to second, and
Tennessee, now third, got more
than a handful of first-place
support.
Spartans Slip to Fourth
Tech was named first on 81
ballots after making Tulane its
fifth straight victim. 400. Ten
neSSee, also SO, drew eight first
place votes.
Michigan State, which dis
placed Oklahoma a week ago as
the national leader after a AHA
whacking Of Notre Dame, slipped
back to fourth place with nary
a top vote. Last week, the Spar
tans had SO.
On the 10 for first, 9 for
second, 8 for third. ETC., basis
Oklahoma wound up with 1,76e

Star Kentucky End
From Bethesda Set
On Beating I erps
By MERRELL wHITTLEsEY

John Cornelius, Kentucky's
6-foot-4 end who beat Georgia
last week with a spectacular
pass catch with two minutes to
lgo, is going to try to win an
other one this week end before
the home folks"
Cornelius was a football and
basketball star at Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School, and
will have relatives and friends
in the stands at College Park
when the Wildcats play Mary
land Saturday afternoon in
Byrd Stadium. John was ALL
Metropolitan for the Barons in
1858.
He was born and raised in
Hahira, Ca, and lived there
until he was 8. John was
quoted in the Kentucky dress
ing room last Saturday as say
ing that he was part Georgian;
and was riding high because he
helped beat his home-State
team.
"Now if 1 can only help beat
Maryland, my adopted State,
that'll be great" he added.
Atlanta sports writer's pulled
all the stops in describing Cor
nelius. leaping catch of AZ
yard pass from Ken Robertson
with 2 minutes and 81 seconds
to go.
The score was tied, TT, and
Kentucky had third down and 25
to 60 on the Georgia 43. Nat
urally expecting a pass, Georgia
rushed only three men and had
eight drop back. But Cornelius,
near the goal line, went up with
a basketball jump and came down
in the end zone with a touch
down, although the defender,
Wendell Tarleton, was hang
ling on.
Cornelius had caught only one
other pass this season. and it
was the second touchdown pass
of his college career. Last year
he caught one against Memphis
State.
Georgia was depressed over
losing by the home-run pass to
a team with one of the poorest
aerial attacks in the country.
Kentucky has completed only
Is of AZ passes in six games, but
is playing 500 football against
an all-Southeastern Conference
schedule to date. After giving
Georgia Tech its sternest test

Lopez Hopeful
OF Taking Flag
With White Sox
Greenberg Confers
With Durocher on
Cleveland Vacancy

CHICAGO, Oct. 80 (P.-Al
Lopez, former Cleveland man
ager who made a career of finish
ing second to the Yankees, joined
forces yesterday with the peren-
NAL third place White Sox.
Lopez accepted one-year con-
tract offered by Vice President
Chuck Comiskey to manage the
White Sox in 1857. Lopez re-
signed as Cleveland manager
September 20 after guiding the
Indians to second place five
times since 1851.
The Tribe won the pennant
under Lopez in 1854 with an
American League record of Ill
victories.
Lopez, one Of baseballs mice
guy" managers, succeeds quiet
spoken Marty Marion, who
bowed out last week as manager
of the White Sox.
Greenberg Talks to Leo
Meanwhile, Cleveland boss
Hank Greenberg went to Los
Angeles to talk with Leo Duro-
cher. former manager of the
New York Giants. Durocher, who
once said, Mice guys don't win
pennants," has indicated he'll
manage Cleveland if the price
is right.
Lopez, who is 48, broke into
baseball in 1925 and was a
catcher with Brooklyn, Boston
and Pittsburgh in the National
League. In 1947 he played in
81 games with Cleveland. His
major league lifetime batting
average was .261.
He managed Indianapolis of
the American Association to a
pennant in 1948 and finished
second in both 1949 and 1850.
He then took over at Cleveland.
In making the announcement,
ComiSkey said: II long have
been an admirer of Lopez on
and off the field. I think he did
an outstanding job at Cleveland
and I hope he'll do as we'll for
us. He was the only man con-
sidered for the job and he &C
cepted by wire from his home
in Florida"
Comiskey would not reveal
Lopez salary. but said it would
amount to the same he re-
ceived at Cleveland. Lopez will
be given the right to name his
own coaches.
At Tampa, Lopez said he was
"tickled to death" over being
selected and began talking of
a possible pennant for the White
Sox.
THE Yankees are a good ball
club" Lopez said, but they can
be had. The White Sox have a.
chance to go all the way in ST.
Speed is Chicago's biggest
asset" Lopez said. 1.-THE pitch
ing is good enough. Hitting is
not bad-it's pretty good.
I'VE will try to improve the
club wherever we cam" he con-
tinued. Chicago doesn't need
too much. 1t has been a con-
tender every year I have been
in the league"
Wants CuccineIIO
Lopez said he would not an
nounce his selection of coaches
until he confers with officials
in Chicago. He added that he
wants to team up again with his
old sidekick, Tony Cuccinello.
TONY has been with me every
place l manage, and we were
roomies together back in our
playing days at Brooklyn and
Boston. He is fine baseball
man."
Cuccinello was third-base
coach for Lopez at Cleveland.
Chicago has a good organiza-
ton all the way through, and 1
feel the club has great posi-
bilities-I really like the poten-
tial there" Lopez summed up.
The White Sox broke out of
the second division and finished
fourth in 1851 under Paul Rich
ards. present manager of Bal
timore. They have finished
third the last five years, twice
under Marion, who succeeded
