Cardinals Changed From Gas-House Days No Players Bounced In Last Two Years (By United Prese) The gas house gang won't be happy to hear this. We mean the gas-house gang of old—those rough, tough, daring St. lumls Cardinale ' of the early '3o'a. They won’t be very happy to hear that the Cardinals of today have just celebrated an anniversary. It’s ■ one they’re proud of—but Pepp<-r Martin. Ditzy Dean. Frankie Frisch. : and the other gas housers of yesi teryear wuuld frown on it. For it's j been two years since a Cardinal player was thrown out of a ball ' game fcr arguing with an umpire. The last time a Bedhlrd was ejected was on June 15, 1941, when ; Johnny Hopp aroused the Ire of ; "Babe” Pinelli at Brooklyn. Since then no Card has been forced to take an early shower. The milestone went unobserved at Sportsman's Park. But it means , a lot jiMt the same — because it | . mphaslzed the difference between ! | the new and old gas-housers. Hardly a day passed In the early < '3«s that didn't see s me sort of a ' fight In a Cardinal game. Usually . one or more of the boys was waved \ off the field. And ae a rule one or | more of the opposing team was carried off. But times have changed. When 1 i thousands of acres are under water near Brunswick and Boonevllle.

Billy Southworth took over as manager of the Cards, he told his players to fight the opposition Instead of the umpires. He pointed out , that no player even has won a dispute with an Implre. The Bedbirds responded. Hopp wax the last Card to be bounced — and that was two years and two days ago. Johnny had a third strike called on him by Pinelli. He suggested the pitch wax a bit wide. Pinelli Ignored him and proceeded to dust off the plate. Hopp nonchalantly kicked some dirt back on the platter and Pinelli pointed to the clubhouse with hie whiskbroom. Southworth's advice kept the Cards in the field. But there was one occasion when It didn't wotk for him. That was In another game at Brooklyn. At that Hine, managers weren't allowed out of the dugout to dispute a ball and-strlke decision. Dedger manager Leo Durocher didn't like one of Ziggy Sears’ decisions. He marched onto the field. When Sears warned him away. Durocher said he merely wanted to coater with his catcher. So he ' walked up to Mickey Owen, and told Owen just what he thought of , umpire Sears. Whereupon Sears gave Durocher the bum's ruxh. Durocher wouldn't go —to Sears t enlisted the aid of the g> ndarines. who hustled the Brooklyn firebrand ! off the diamond. That made Sears a bit peeved. ' Several innings later, Southworth just got his foot out of the dugout In protest. But Sears spotted him and sent him to the clubhouse. However. Billy's players have been perfect. They'd probably be called a bunch of sissies by the men who tore up 'he baeepaths at St. Ixtuls a decade ago. But these youngsters win ball games, too. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

Greco Is Refused Permit To Fight Permission Denied, By Canadian Army <By United Prrxsi The Canudisu army’s refusal to let Private Johnny Greco fight lightweight champion Bob Montgomery has reopened the question of the status of athletes in service. The Greco case is the Canadian counterpart of the controversy which raged many months ago In the United States. Then the Issue wax whether Joe Louis and Billy Con shold be allowed to fight while soldiering. Greco and Montgomery were scheduled to meet a week from Friday at the Yankee stadium in New York. The bout—« 10-round overweight affair- had been promIced to Greco by promoter Mike Jacobs. But now it’s possible that Greco has made his last ring appearance as a soldier. Greco's situation — although it parallels that of Ixiulx and Conn ki unique. He's a private In the Canadian army—but a very special one. For he’s also the best means the army has of obtaining enlistments. In Canada, that’s important Because drafted soldiers can't be sent oversea», and the army wants as many enlistees as possible. So Greco's fistic activities are closely supervised by army officials. He has a retinue of managers. press-agents and promoters—headed by a lieutenant-colonel. They arrane-d his bout with Terry Young on May 8. and saw to It that the Canadian army got reams of publicity. But after that fight, a flood of criticism poured forth In the Canadian press. Many didn't like the way the show was operated and claimed that huge expense accounts were being run up at Greco's training camps. In answer to this, the army produced an accounting of funds spent on Creco. But the press, the public, and some officials kept clamoring. The upshort Is that Canada's department of national defense lias ordered the Montgromery-Greco fight cancelled. It was the American war depart-

ment which killed the "battle of the century’’ between Lottis and Conn. That one was plowed under because of irregularities in splitting the gate. And also because there was considerable sentiment in favor of letting soldiers be soldiers and nothing more Perhaps Canada feels tbs’ same way. and will oppose any further touts for Greco. In which case, the young private's day as the "Golden Boy" of the Canadian army is at an end. o MAJOR LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE W L. Pct.
