LeBARON FIGURES IN THREE SCORES
Freeman Saves Eagles
From Tie With DoIIos

DALLAS, Texas. Oct. (AP)
Bob Freeman, a last hour
addition to the Philadelphia
Eagles, took the edge off a
Norm Van Brocklin Eddie
LeBaron passing duel last night
by blocking two extra point
tries to furnish the difference
as the Eagles beat Dallas, 27-25.
Twice the big man from
Auburn smashed through to
get in front of Fred Cones boots
and help the Eagles to their
first victory in the National
Football League race. 1t was
the second straight defeat for
Dallas, newest member of the
league.

Freeman, q 4-year pro foot

The Yankees, marking the
33d anniversary of Babe Ruth's
60th home run by cracking
their American League home
record, now have a 13-game
winning streak going as they
warm up for next weeks World
Series.
But they still haven't gotten
a convincing pitching per-
formance from one of Manager
Casey Stengel's nominees for
the starting assignment at
Pittsburgh next Wednesday
against the Pirates.
Art Ditmar, the Yankees
top winner with Is. was tagged
for five hits and run In four
innings last night as New York
beat Boston, 6-5. with three
runs in the ninth. That fol-
lowed on the heels of an un-
impressive tune-up by Whitley
Ford against the Senators
Wednesday. Bob Turley (9-3)
gets his chance against the
Red Sox today.
Tie Orioles for Second
At the moment, it looks like
the big job will fall to Yankee
relievers as New York once
more faces the Pirates-who
are making their first return
to the Series since 1927.
The White Sox tied idle Bal
timore for second place by beat
ing Cleveland, 5-4, in 13 innings
on Joe GinSberg's single. In
jured AL Smith of the White
Sox again was out of action,
leaving his average at .315 while
Pete Runnels Of the Red Sox
went 2-for-3 to boost his
league-leading mark to .319 in
the batting race.
Detroit defeated Kansas City,
5T3, with four unearned runs
in the only other AL game.
Home runs by Tony Kubek
and Pinch-hitter Jess Gonder

because at one time Philadel-
phia led Dallas by only one
point-the point Freeman had
knocked away when he blocked
the first try-and Dallas was
closing in.
Van Brocklin wasn't UP to his
heralded passing adeptness, but
he still threw for 139 yards and
one touchdown. LeBaron, how
ever. connected for 1874 yards
and two touchdowns. Trouble
was LeBaron had five of his
throws intercepted and two of
them set up Philadelphia scores.
Billy Barnes scored touch
downs on runs of 10 and %
yards. Van Brocklin passed to
Tommy Mcdonald for 16 yards
and a touchdown, and Bobby
Walston kicked two field goals
and three conversions.
Only 1880 Attend
LeBaron passed rs yards to
Frank Clarke for one touch
down, smashed through the
line a foot and a half for an
other and pitched to Gene Babb
for the third. Cone kicked
two field goals.
Only 1880 showed up for
the game, a disappointing
crowd.

Middies Seeking
Status Against
Fuvored Huskies
By BILL FUCHS
Star 6tan Writer

SEATTLE, Oct. 1.-Navy'S
football team becomes a status
seeker today with highly ranked
University of Washington the
intended springboard in one of
the major intersectional games
of the season.
(The game will start at 6
pm, Washington time, and
will be broadcast to fans there
over WRSC. Ray Michael
and Joe Croghan will do the
describing.)
The fast, versatile Huskies,
ranked third on the current
Associated Press list of nation
ally ranked teams. are 9 " point
favoriteS to smash Navy'S
dream of moving up from the
18th position.
An overflowing crowd of S.
500 fans will pack the univer-
Sity stadium, almost all partial
to the Huskies and confident.
Out here they say Washington's
toughest game of the season is
a scrimmage between the first
and second teams.
Navy Counts on Dietz
The Huskies alternate their
first two teams and some say
the second is almost as good
as the first. All-America Bob
Schloredt quarterbacks the first
team and Bob Hivner, who also
passes, runs. kicks and plays
defense in top fashion, handles
the second unit. At one time
Hivner and Schloredt we're
neck-and-neck for the first
string berth, but Hivner suffered
a broken finger in the first
game of the year and lost out.
The Middies will be counting
on Harry Dietz, 5-foot-8 star
of last years 150-pound team,
to direct their offense today.
Dietz started out as second
string. but Hal Spooner, who
has a big advantage on size, has
been injured since the opener
against Boston College. Spooner
possibly might play today.
The MiddieS also are banking
heavily that Joe Bellino will
play his usual" game. Par for
Bellino is a starring role in
which he runs and passes for
Matalavage Improved
John Prichard, 6-foot-3. 180-
pound Oklahoman, will be at
the other halfback spot, flank
ing far to the right, and there
is a strong possibility that Joe
Matalavage will be ready for
fulltime duty at fullback. The
blockbuster who averaged more
than four yards a carry last
season has been nursing a leg
injury, but looked fit in practice
this week.
Washington's starting back
field will include Don McKeta,
a breakaway runner and top
pass receiver, and George Flem-
ing, 185-pound power driver, at
the halfbacks, and Ray Jack
son, who led the Huskies on the
ground last season with an
average of 4.8 yards a carry,
at fullback.
The second-unit backfield
features Hivner and a sopho-
more speedster named Charley
Mitchell, who Washington fans
say is the answer to Bellino.
Larry Graham, a 6-foot-3,
200-pound Texan, will start at
left end for Navy. He is the
only sophomore on the starting
team and made it the hard
way, outdoing the veteran
Frank Dattilo.

BRAVES ROUGH UP LAW
Yonk ReIievers Face
Busy Time in Series

In the National League, Dick
Groat played for the Pirates
for the first time since suffering
a broken wrist September 6. He
slapped a weak bouncer and
was thrown out in a pinch
hitting role as Milwaukee
mauled the Pirates and 90
game winner Vern Law, 1872,
Groat'S batting average was
shaved to 1924, but he stayed
on top in the MI race as Norm
Larker of the Dodgers went
0-for-2 and skidded to 1923 al
though driving in three runs
in Los Angeles Us victory over
the Cubs.
Mays Goes HitlesS
Willie Mays went hitless in
three tries and dropped to .3l9
as the Giants downed the Car
dinalS, 2-1, assuring the Braves
no worse than a second-place
tie with st. Louis. Philadelphia
beat Cincinnati, 7-6, in IA in
nings in the other MI game.
Milwaukee's victory was
triggered by Hank Aaron, who
hit his seth and 40th home
runs plus two doubles and bat
ted in five runs. Law was
roughed up for 10 hits and
eight runs while lasting less
than three innings. The Braves
Ed Mathews had a four-for-
six night and boosted his
league-leading RBI production
to l25. Bob Buhl checked the
Pirates on five hits, including
a homer by Smoky Burgess.
The Dodgers, setting a MI
attendance record at 2,218,936
with a turnout of 14,205 last
night, had eight hits, one the
first major league homer by
Catcher Doug Camilli, son of
the old Brooklyn star, Dolph
Camilli.
Sam Jones won his 18th with
a three-hitter against the
Cards. A triple by Orlando Ce-
peda and a double by Jim Dav-
export cracked a IL tie in the
fourth inning and beat Ray

The inspiration for the an

Mrs. Quandt, wife of the

Former curator Of Ameri-

Washington matron sug-
gested taking the South as

the gallery's Assistant Direc-

major exhibition every year.
It was then October, Mrs.
Quandt recalls. Mr.. Dora
Immediately began sleuthing
for material, with Mrs.
Quandt acting as assistant
detective, and after weeks

"The present exhibition Is

In talking about the Cor.

Mrs. Quandt added to this:
I'VE only had six months to

Over the past six months
Ihe Corcoran Gallery Of Art
has been searching out and
putting together pieces Of a
fascinating picture puzzle.
On the night Of April %,
when the gallery holds its
annual ball, Washingtonians
will get a first look at the
Sesult-a history-making ex-
hibition quietly titled Amer
ican Painters Of the South"
This, the gallery's major
effort for the year, is the
first exhibition ever devoted
to showing painting in the
South as a whole.
AS such, it contributes sub
stantially to the overall pic
ture OF native American art.
1t Is meant to be a record
Of the activities of the South
from the early 1700s until
the Civil War and the terri
tory covered is from Della
ware and Maryland to Mis-
souri, and Louisiana.
Many Finds in Exhibit
Perhaps the most exciting
feature Of this loan exhibi-
tfon is the number of finds"
iacluded.
Qf the more than 100
paintings, water colors and
drawings borrowed from rnu-
seGins and private collections
arpund the country, about IS
have never been shown pub
hcly. And as many as 80 have
not been seen before outside
their own museums.
One Of the discoveries is
q primitive painting recently
acquired by the Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Folk Art Collec-
ton in Williamsburg. It de-
picts "The Peter Francisco
Incident"
Peter Francisco was a g.
foot, 6-inch. 270-pound hero
Of the American Revolution
who used to perform such
spectacular feats as picking
UP a cannon and carrying it

retreat.

Mrs. Quandt has written
the introduction to the exhi-
bition catalogue. She begins:
"a history Of painting in
the American South has yet

reasons the Southern States
have not been combed for

GLENDALE, Calf, LR = The
famous names who helped Clark
Gable rule Hollywood in his gold
en- age gathered Saturday to pay
him last honors at a simple, quiet
funeral.
Two hundred mourners filed

dred spectators stood quietly a
considerable distance from the
church, and there were no dis
plays of fan adulation that have
marred other Hollywood funerals.
An American flag stood at the
head of the rose-covered casket,
and squad of steel helmeted
airmen stood at attention out
side the church, honoring Cables
service during World War II.
The services were conducted by
Air Force Chaplain John E. West.
According to Episcopal tradition,
there was no eulogy.
Gable will lie in a crypt in

Mystery BIost
At Prison Probed

ATLANTA July 2s (AP).-A
demolition team from Dobbins
Air Force Base today is going
to try to determine the nature
Of a mysterious object which
fell on property of the Atlanta
Federal Penitentiary.
The explosion last night
shook houses in the area, broke
a limb off a tree several hun
dred yards away and sent a
column of smoke and dust so
feet into the air. The object
hit 800 yards from the prison
wall.
The blast made a hole two
feet in diameter and an esti-
mated is to 20 feet deep. A
dozen metallic fragments were
found at the hole.
No one was injured.
Air Force officials declined to
comment on the nature of the
object.
