Feller Stops Yanks Cold As Relief Hurler New York, Sept. 9 —(UP)— The most feared pitcher in the American league today — making a . “comeback” from winning 26 games last year — is Bobby Feller. From the way the bleacherite.s have been howling at him in his own town, you’d think the Cleveland fireball ace suddenly had turned into a scatterarm slinger who couldn’t win a game. But he is leading the league with 18 victories and, from the way he fa influencing batters, he’ll be winning back most of those grandstand "friends” before long. The runaway New York Yankees were treated to a sample of "the new Feller's old tricks at Yankee stadium last night when his relief pitching eaved a 4 to 3 victory for Cleveland. Trailing by that score in the ninth inning, the Yankees, who need only eight wins to take the pennant, put men on first and third with none out against Bob Lemon. At this point, Feller ambled in from the bull pen and retired the side without a score. He got Bill .Johnson on a pop-up, Aaron Robinson on a high bouncer in front of the plate, and struck out Phil Jlizzuto. The win belonged to Lemon, hie eighth, and the starting pitcher earned it b dryiving in what proved to be the winning run with a single in the eighth. Bobo Newsom was the losing pitcher, his 10th defeat. George McQuinn hit his 11th and 12th homers for the Yanks’ iosing cause. The attendance, 53,101, put the Yankees over the two-million mark for the second straight season with 2,023,643. The New York Giants, scoring seven runs in the eighth and three in the ninth, won yesterday’s only game from the Pirates. 10 to 8. The Giants’ only homer, by Lloyd Gearheart with one man on in the ninth, provided the winning runs.

Clyde Kluttz made three of the Pirates’ nine hits. Ken Trinkle, fifth Giant pitcher, was the winner and Jim,Bag e by. second Pittsburgh twirler, was the loser. There was no other action in the major leagues yesterday. o Three-Way Trade In Football Conference Chicago, Sept. 9 —(UP)— Professional grid experts pondered today what prompted a three-way trade involving Glenn Dobbs, Angelo Bertalli and Bob Hoernechemeyer and the Brook'yn Dodgers, Chicago Rockets and Los Angeles Dons of the all America football conference. Dobbs, the most valuable player in the AAC last season was traded from Brooklyn to the Dons for Bertelli. and the Dodgers then sent Bertelli to Chicago for Hoernschemeyer. Na cash was involved. The experts failed to see how Hoernschemeyer could help Brooklyn more than Dobbs. The former Indiana and Annapolis football great was expected to be a conference sensation last fall when he first joined the Rockets. Instead he was a medicre player on a mediocre team. This year he was outranked asj the first string field general on Jimmy Crowley's combination by Allen Dekdebrun, a youthful sharpshooter from Cornell who came to Chicago in a trade this season with Buffalo. Hoerneschemeyer got into the Rockets’ first game, a losing effort against the Los Angeles Dons, but he played only part of the first half as Dekdebrun’s substitute. Then he spent the rest of the night on the bench and it was announced he had suffered a shoulder separation. Since then he sparked the Rockets in another losing game against Dan Topping’s New York Yankees, and the official statements have said his shoulder was “all right.” Yesterday, Crowley, beaming at the prospect of bringing Angleo Bertelli, the former Notre Dame star, back before midwest audiences, dismissed Hunchy’s injury as “just a bruise.” Another Rocket spokesman describee) (foe Hoosier’s hurt as a “split shoulder.” The triple-trade was made on a “buyer-beware” basis, so Brooklyn is taking a chance just as the Rockets and the Dons. Bertelli, too. was injured this season, hurting hie leg in a pre-season exhibition clash, and he was out of th* Dons-Rockets season opener. Crowley and his associates were sure that the former Irish star was in good condition, and Jimmy said that Bertelli failed to play Sun- | CORT O — o — Last Time Tonight — “SPOILERS OF NORTH” Paul Kelly, Adrian Booth & "VIOLENCE” [Michael O’Shea, Nancy Coleman’ 9c-30c Inc.

day against San Francisco “because that was part of the deal.” They expected Bertelli, one of the all America’s proudest acquisitions after a court fight with the Yanks of the riy|£, national tiWball league, to awve tomorrow. “He’ll practice with us tomorrow and we plan to put in extra hours with him.” Crowley said. “He'll be able to play for Sunday against Buffalo.” H o Jackets Drill For Till With Garrett A long defensive drill Monday afternoon following a summary by cqach Bob Worthman of the errors committed in the opening game, started the Yellow Jackets off on their week of preparation for the Garrett game Friday night at Garrett. Bruce Baughn, right end, injured in the Bluffton game, reported for drill and while he has an injured hip, the injury is not thought to be serious. Marcus Foreman is substituting at the end position for Baughn at present. The squad and coaches are far fjom discouraged and they started drill yesterday with more determination after Worthman pointed out that the Jackets made eight first downs compared with five for the Bluffton team. Some costly errors early in the game gave the Tigers a lead which they never relinquished. Worthman and Deane Dorwin, assistant coach, indicated that most of this week’s drill would be from the defensive angle. Dorwin witnessed the Garrett-Portland game last Friday night and stated today that while the Railroaders should not be understimated, he believed Decatur has a fair chance of winning, if the local team gets a few breaks. Odell Foley, 250-pound center, worked out again Monday after being on the injured list for several weeks. If Foley is able to get in the lineup Friday night, his presence will bolster the weight average. It is probable that if Foley gets the center call, there will be other changes in 'the line, especially on defense. Decatur Youth Fined As Reckless Driver Don Grant, 17, of this city, was fined $5 and costs by Mayor John B. Stults in city court late Monday when he pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving. Game warden John Hoffacker. who signed the affidavit, charged the youth drove down Monroe street in a reckless manner, darting his auto toward pedestrians on the sidewalk. o Fort Wayne Reunion Berne, Ind., Sept. 9 — Milae Reiff was named president of the BerneFort Wayne reunion for 1948, at the annual reunion held Saturday afternoon and evening in Franke park in Fort Wayne. One hundred and fifty former Bern'e people attended the reunion, an annual event, ohn Amstutz was named vice president and Mrs. Priscilla Stauffer Stewart, secretary-treas-urer.

f Today s Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) ' 0~ ——— 0 New York. Sept. 9.—(UP)— Tennis took Richard (Pancho) Gonzales, a tall, tawny California youngster, from the pool rooms of Los Angeles to the green velvet courts at Forest Hills and the social transition today promised a future Davis cup payoff for the United States. Pancho, a six footer of 19, had all the earmarks of a juvenile ready for delinquency when he first tried his hand at tennis four years ago. He didn’t like school and he enjoyed running with the side-of- | the-mouth kids on the corner. “It was a pretty tough neighborhood, all right,” grinned Pancho. But that’s where the court game attracted him and kept him from becoming a dead end kid. The Gonzales family included four daughters and three boys, a large brood. But mama Gonzales encouraged Pancho’s tenis and, out of poppa’s meager salary, even managed to save enough to buy the kid a racquet. It was a little rough getting started. Pancho still didn’t like school and was content to play on the public courts. But as his game improved, and the youngster displayed amazing talent, he came to the attention of the alert fathers who run California’s court incubator. Pancho still was classed as a “had boy,” however, and Perry Jones, tennis czar of the coast, refused him sanction. Yet when the husky lad of Mexican parentage disposed regularly of Herbie Flam, fair-haired junior of the coast, he ultimately had to be given recognition. So this summer Pancho came east with the California delegation and, his first time on grass courts, had five match points against the veteran Sidney Greenberg in the Seabright tournament. And yesterday he forced experienced Gardnar Mulloy, fourth-seed-ed Davis cup star, to five sets before bowing out.' Pancho might have been there yet except for a leg cramp which seized him when he was leading, three gams to one, in the clincher. His defeat, 6-3, 6-3, 2-6, 9-11, 6-4. was no disgrace against one of America’s best. Mulloy, the victor, w-as one of Pancho’s most vociferous admirers. “He's a little weak on his ground strokes and his backhand,” Mulloy said, “but that drop shot of his

is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The kid’s a real Davis cup prospect.” "The juniors are getting tough, hey?” laughed big Jake Kramer, the defending champion in men’s singles. “Not so tough,” Pancho shot back. “It’s just that you seniors are getting old and weak.” 0 Horse Show Winners Here Are Announced Show Sponsored By County Riding Club Winners in the horse show, staged Sunday at Hanna-Nuttman park by the Adams county riding club, were listed today by club officials.
