THE STENCIL STORY
Clown and Genius
BY FRANK GRAHAM, IR.

Graw's 10 pennants and Joe
McCarthy's seven world titles.
4 =
To Stengel's unbounded an
noyance, those featS will be
forgotten long before the fans
and writers stop retelling the
story of how he doffed his cap
to a jeering crowd and a SPAR
row few out of it; how he con-
SpTed to drop a grapefruit on
his manager, Wilbert Robinson,
from an airplane.
His failure to win with a mis-
cradle team in Boston so en-
phasized his Glowing and Sar-
casm that, when he was run
down by an automobile. a sports
columnist suggested that the
driver be awarded plaque for
having done the most for Bos-
ton baseball that season.
Casey now fears it will be
his fate to be remembered as a
clown rather than as the aStute
chieftain who led the mighty
Yankees to what begins to seem
an endless string of pennants.
y.
Today Casey is a very lively
and influential legend. Earning
over 100000 a year from the
Yankees in salary and bonuses.
he is the highest paid manager
in baseball history.
Those who insist he is a
baseball genius need only point
to his accomplishments to back
up their belief. His superiority
as a manager is chiefly a COM
bination of imagination and the
daring to order the moves that
his imagination dictates.
That he has never lost his
touch is the result of another
of Casey's qualities-though he
is getting old, he has always
been open to new ideas.
Stengel's life spans the whole
history of modern baseball
linking the rough-and-tum
Baltimore Orioles of the 1905
with. today's efficiency regime
at the Yankee Stadium. He
learned much of his baseball
under McGraw and Robinson,
two mainstays of the legendary
Orioles, and, in this era OF the
lively ball and the big inning
he reaches back to pluck a trick
from those old masters. ;.
Casey. as manager OF the
Yankees, has done more than
just carry on the Yankee tradl-

2 Sparkling Runs
May Have Saved
Job for Sommer
BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON
Star stan Writer


Mike Sommer may have
made a place for himself on
the Redskins squad yesterday
with sparkling punt returns Of
65 and IS yards against the
mighty Chicago Bears before
1919 fans at Griffith Stadium.
But he couldn't save the Red
skins from a 27-24 defeat.
The former George Washing
ton halfback, who ran back
only two punts for touchdowns
during his entire four-year coll
lege career. was on the anxious
seat until yesterday. Three. pos
sibly four, players must be cut
tomorrow. and competition be-
tween muscular Mike and other
backfield men has been keen.
But anybody who produces a
pair of six-pointers against the
powerful Bears almost auto
matically qualities for a job. If
Sommer can repeat his per-
Torrance against the Eagles in
Philadelphia next Sunday in
the league opener, he'll be set
for the season.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. %
(AP).-Sceptre and Columbia
bobbed across the starting line
today in a light north wind to
begin the second race Of the
Americas Cup series,
Under a dazzling blue sky be-
fore q spectator feet Of about
400 yachts and excursion boats,
the two 12-meter yachts set of
on the 24-mile triangular
course.
The wind was a duplicate Of
the light air in which Columbia
out-classed the British chal-
lenger Saturday.
The yachts crossed the start
ing line at 1920 pm, with the
Columbia showing the way by a
few feet.
Weather Changes
An unexpected change in the
weather a few hours before the
start came as a blow to the
british crew. The weather
cleared and the wind turned
light. The blustery, heavy
weather which the Sceptre likes
passed during the night.
The earlier forecasts of south
west gusts of is to Is miles an
hour had cheered the British
but left the Americans conf
dent of maintaining supremacy
in the best-of-seven series.
"If they want high winds. we
want them higher" said Briggs
Cunningham. Columbia's shay
gy-haired millionaire skipper
''Twenty-knot winds are just
what we need"
Sceptre demopstrated plainly
Saturday that light winds are
not her cup Of tea. Columbia

Ice Jams Cause Extensive Flood Along Peace River

EDMONTON, Alta, R - A 1O- mile-long ice jam plugged the Peace River like huge bathtub stopper, backing up water 10 feet deep over 500 square miles of Northern Alberta bushland.
 Four helicopters joined with search planes in a hunt for people who might still be marooned.
 Pilots who returned after air lifting trappers and Indians to safety reported the ice jam shows no signs of breaking up.
 Describing the area as lone big lake" pilot John Mallan- daine said the ice jam is blocking the Peace River where it joins the Slave River, about 375 miles north of Edmonton. The Slave and Athabasca Rivers also are at flood stage, he added.
