The New York Yankees, having
won with their "spot pitcher."
sent their "key game" hurler
i against the St. Louis Cardinals'
rookie star todav in the second
game of the 194'2 world series.

begins his pre-game warm-up by
tossing 10-nound weights around
to make the baseball feel light-

selection for the game which
has decided the series winner

Manager Billy Southworth.
sticking to his original choice,
called on Johnny Beazley. who
won 21 games in his first major
league season. He defied series
history for only rarely have
rookies made good in hasehail's
hifeest money games.
Bonham. the best control pit-
cher in baseball, has been Mc-
Carthy's key man for winning
games that meant tiles. He pit-
ched the Yankees into first
place in the 1042 pennant race
and then defeated Cleveland
on Sept. 14 to clinch the Ameri-
can league pennant. The strapp-

friends might mean more

Southworth, clown - liearteil
with the failure of Morton
Cooper, ace of the Cardinal
mound staff, in the first
game, decided that he would

freshman slur.

runs which the usually tight
Cardinal defense gave the Yan-

WACO, Tex., Oct. 1—(UP) —
(UP)—Picked as under flogs as
the result of their upset loss to
Hardin-Simmons last week, the
Baylor Bears hit the road today
for Oklahoma City where they
meet the Oklahoma Aggies to-
morrow night.
kees in the eighth and ninth
inning of the opener made the
difference whilh gave Big Char-
les (iRed) Ruffing his seventh
series victory in eight starts.
But Big Red, as he went
along, gave the impression that
he was going to win. He held
the Cardinals hitless for seven
and two thirds innings, a world
series record, and eased up on-
ly in the ninth when he was
coasting on a seven-run lead.
Ruffing was the hero and if
there was a goat it was Max
Lanier, the Cardinal southpaw.
His two errors led to two un-
I earned Yankee runs in the nin-
th. The other two unearned
j runs — in the eighth — came
when Slaughter was charged
! with a two-base error when he
I dropped Rtlffing's long fly.

le he was somewhat of a

come after runs of 48 yards,

Cardinals counter-attack fell
short: but it augured no good
to the New Yorkers in future
games. The Gas House gang al-
so can wield the willow; but
they let DiMaggio and a few
others buffalo them in the se-
ries opener.
The movement for physical
fitness for the home front, as
well as the active front is gain-
ing momentum. The local com-
pany of the TDG, drilling, mar-
ching and otherwise exercising
sets a good example. Biceps
are swelling, legs are getting
sturdier and chest expansion is
growing—all for the increased
protection of Sweetwater and

they are proving good soldiers
in every way. The local unit, ac-
cording to the officers, will be
glad to get others from outside

want to drill with the company.

| ting farewell to ,lim Braddock,
former heavyweight champion,
and his cocky little manager,
.loe Gould, who have joined the
army together.
Braddock — key man in the
dawn of a new fight era that
saw the control of big-time box-
ing shift from Madison Square
Garden, as a corporation, to
.Mike Jacobs—said, "I'm back on
the docks again. I'm in the long-
shoremen's battalion of the ar-
my transportation corps."
They're first Heutciil'ints
now—Braddock and Could—
as they go back to the
docks, to any dangerous
docks in any part of the
world where the army sees
lit to send tliem. As they
complete the cycle —from
docks to docks — they're
big shots, in reputation al
least. But to (heir friends,
the big Irishman >ind the
little Jewish pilot — the
ring's beloved "Abie's Irish
Rose" combination — are
still the same salty gnys
who started pugilism's great-
est come-back from the New
Jersey wharfs in lOJt and
wound up a year later with
the world's heavyweight
championship.
Braddock, who has joined
Champion Joe Louis and form-
er heavyweight kings, Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney, in
service, said at the big party:
"This is once when my manager
has to go into actual training
with me for the big fight. We
report Saturday at the Brooklyn
army base. Then we attend the
officers' school at Fort Slocum
for a few weeks. And, brother,
they say that's a tough course."
"Braddock could have become
a physical instructor, but he
didn't want that," Gould .said.
"Jim wanted action— and 1
guess 1 do too. So we figured
the transportation corps in
this world-wide war would as-
sure us of plenty of action, and
at the same time make us more
valuable to our country than
any other department of ser-
vice."

I,oss of Jimmie Duncan and
probably Ed Mays, two backfieid
men in the Mustang squad, ap-
peared certain today, as final
offensive plays were mapped out
for use against tomorrow night's
invading Graham Steers.
The Mustang squad will play
under the lights tonight in a
dress rehearsal for the game.
Signal practice, and skull work,
will feature a light workout, as
is customary on the eve >f a
contest.
In all probability the Pon-
ies will run into tough sled-
ding, Itaekfield Coach Ad-
rian Clark said today. The
Mustangs have a varied at-
tack, strong defensive pow-
er, and strong teamwork;
but the boys haven't hud to
flash their full strength to
win; and if they are called
on to .iust that Friday night,
even the coaches don't know
what will happen.
There is a confident attitude
in the Mustang camp, however,
and the unknown Steers will
have to show a high-scoring ag-
gregation to defeat the Newman
athletes, even if the latter have
to play without some of their
star ground gainers.
The Mustang Band will
play for a pep rally tonight
at 7 p. in. on the courthouse
steps, on the eve of the
Mustang-Graham Steer ga-
me to be called at 8:.'l<) p.
ni. Friday at the football
bowl.
The rally will be held at
7 o'clock on account of the
Roy Scout politick dinner at
7:Jt! p. m.
Claris nas developed some new
and fast ball toters: and they
will get a full work out against
the Steers.
The 1941 veteran line is intact:
and assurance against a scoring
spree by Graham. Fitzgerald
may get a chance to carry the
ball, and he has shown an apti-
tude for such duties. I lis bas-
ketball prowess has come to his
aid in snagging passes, or carry-
ing the pigskin around ends.
Turner, as usual, is counted
on to be the man of heavy
work: and his versatility: parti-
cularly if Mays can't
the lineup, will get its
lest of the season.
All men in uniform and child-
ren will be admitted to the field
for 25 cents, and general admis-
sion at the gate remains at Vi j
cents, it was stated today

Vols Beat Sports
To Bounce Back
Into Dixie Fight
6HREVEPORT, La., Oct. 1 —
(UP)—The big bats of the Nash-
ville Vols of the Southern As-
sociation had pounded the Ten-
nesseeans back into the Dixie
series picture today. •
The Vols reached a pair of
Shreveport Sport moundsmen
last night for 10 hits and an
easy 5-1 victory that knotted
the count with the Texas league
entry at two games each in the
series. The fifth game was sche-
duled here tonight after which
the clubs return to Nashville
to conclude the series.
While Vito Tamulis checked
the Louisianans with four safe-
ties, two of which were bunch-
ed for Sports' lone run in the
second, his teammates clouted
Floyd Speer from the mound in
the seventh after Charlie Eng-
lish homered for the Vols' third
tally and continued their as-
sault on Al Bronkhurst.

SCRAP
(Continued from page 1)
ed. Newspapers have forgotten
rivalry. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars in advertising space
is donated free daily to foster
the scrap drive. Radio stations
give time, civic groups offer
their aid, and city, county and
the state governments are 100
per cent behind the drive.
"The school children of
the state are going to turn
Texas upside t down and
shake out ievery bit of scrap
into the stockpiles which
are fast becoming high and
wide everywli ere."
"Governor Coke R. Stevenson
appeals to them on a state-wide
Texas Quality Network hookup
Friday afternoon at 1:15," Hall
said, "and the governor shall
ask every child to co-operate, to
do this war job which is not
going to be easy.
"It's the school boys' and girls'
call to duty to serve their Unit-
ed States and the freedom they
enjoy in the public schools,"
Hall explained, "and we know
those children won't fail us."
Hall said that no definite goall
has been set for the collection
campaign. He added, however,
that H every school child col-
lects fits own weight in scrap
metal as a "minimum," that
more than 50,000,000 pounds and
possibly as much as 100,000,000
pounds of scrap metals wouid
go into the steel mills to come
out tanks, ships, guns—the si-
news of war.
How will the school children
be organized?
For two weeks, beginning Fri-
day when the children take the
oath—authentic and unchanged
—of a junior Texas ranger, every
child becomes a member of that
great organization, the Texas
rangers, with the job of gather-
ing scrap.
Homer Garrison, director of
the Texas rangers, will adminis-
ter the oath of office of Texas'
more than 1,000,000 school child-
ren during a radio program Fri-
day afternoon which will be
heard in every class room in
Texas, from k i n d e r g a rten
through high vschool.
It isn't a .joke—this giving
badges and making the
awards we will make for col-
lections to the various
schools and individuals and
class rooms as « whole,"
llall said. "It is an honor
and a privilege to earn one
of these awards," he said,
speaking ol the 20,(MM) awards
to schools in Texas which
attain 20 pounds of scrap
metal per capita in the allot-
led two weeks drive.
A wdsh pail will provide the
amount of scrap ordinarily need-
ed to produce the steel needed
to make bayonets; an old.
worn-out tire has enough rubber
in it to produce 12 gas masks:
an olrl lawn mower can provide
the material for six 3-inch steel
ia' keted shells: an olrl lead bat-
tery provides lead ordinarily r< -
quired to make three 3-inch an-
tiaircraft guns.
And so ii goes," Hall
"I he old coat-hangar, wash
aluminum pots and pans,
lawn-mowers and scissors,
old tires, the batteries, the
