Rickey Choice Hailed As Smartest Move

(Re<. U. S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press international NEW YORK <UPI) — They brought the old war horse out of the barn today and it was the smartest move the Continental League could have made in its effort to get into the major league race. Branch Rickey was named president of the proposed new league after four years in semiretirement as do-nothing “chairman of the board” of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is, without question, the one man with the knowledge of baseball’s mysterious doings who could lead the third league over the inaugural quicksands. The only question is how, aj 77 and on the heels of a heart” attack two years ago, his health will hold out. But mentally, Rickey still is the imaginative giant who fathered the baseball farm system, broke baseball’s color line, devised the knothole gang and at various stages led the Browns, Cardinals, Dodgers and Pirates out of the baseball backwoods. Years Took Toll The years, of course, have taken their toll. Yet the man who took over the new league’s presidency was more than a fair facsimile of the old Mahatma of Montague Street whose bombast and vision kept the National League jumping before he left Brooklyn nine years ago. The new league came up with one of baseball’s most able brains when they grabbed him at $50,000 a year. No longer can the two established leagues foist off the Continental as a myth perpetuated only in the minds of amateurs. And, with the mace of antimonopoly at hand, / Rickey can always club them into a workable agreement /If, which is to be doubted, he fails for the first time as a spelbinder. The question of his health would

Pete Dawkins Rhodes Scholar FT. BENNING, Ga. (UPD—Lt. Pete Dawkins, All-America football halfback at West Point last year, has one month left of airborne training before leaving for England to take up his studies as a Rhodes Scholar. Dawkins has tasted unusual success both as an athlete and as a student. In 1959, he won the Heisman and Maxwell Trophies as the top collegiate football player. Later he was selected, along with five other West Point graduates, for a Rhodes scholarship for study at England’s Oxford University. These honors came to Dawkins before he reached his 22nd birthday. After he cmpletes airborne school here Sept. 25, Dawkins will go to Washington for 15 days to prepare for his study at Oxford. He leaves for England Oct. 14 and will study two years at Oxford in liberal arts, political science, literature and language. When Dawkins returns from England, he will still have to pull a three-year hitch in the Army. He has professed a desire to become a Ranger.

Ptacek, former Universtiy of Michigan backfield star, was voted the most valuable player for the College All-Stars last Friday in a 29-0 losing cause against the Baltimore Colts.

Jack Dempsey New Promoter Os Title Match Ry JACK CUDDY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Jack Dempsey may fly to Sweden Friday to clarify the Ingemar Jo-hansson-Floyd Patterson returnfight muddle. Dempsey, brand new promotional director of the hoped-for Sept. 22 bout, said today, “I’ll be ready to go Friday to Sweden—or anywhere else — if Ingemar wants to sit down and straighten things out.” 4 When the 64-year-old “Manassa Mauler” flies to Europe, he will be accompanied by Vincent J. Velella and Irving B. Kahn, president and board-chairman, respectively, of the reorganized Rosensohn Enterprises, Inc. Big-fisted Jack, former heavyweight champion, was named promotional director and advisor of the Rosensohn organization Tuesday at a press conference in Dempsey’s Broadway restaurant. “Itook this job without a salary, ; but a SSOO-a-week expense account,” millionarie Jack explained, “in order to help the fight—and boxing in general. The sport needs this match. It’s too goorf* to be kicked around any longer. It should draw a milliondollar gate, wherever held.”

Two All-Stars who will be siding with Baltimore in this game : are Dave Sherer, an end from > SMU and Hanson Churchwell, a i guard from Mississippi. ; Coach Buddy Parker intends . using every player on his squad when the Pittsburgh Steelers play ; the Chicago Cardinals in Austin, ; Tex.’, Saturday night. Winners i over Cleveland in the last two , minutes their last time out, the ■ Steelers have been emphasizing ■ tackling on punts and kickoffs, a : phase in which they were lax during the contest. I The Green Bay Packers concentrated on watching movies Tuesday of their 19-16 loss to the Chi- j cago Bears. "There’s a lot to be! done,” said coach Vince Lorn- ! bardi. “The Packers made an error on every play.” San Francisco received a lift when coach Red Hickey revealed that Jim Pace may play against Green Bay Sunday. Pace missed last Sunday’s game against Washington because of an injured knee.

Fox, Staley Boost Sox To 4/2 Game Margin

United Press International Although they now wear “San Francisco” across the front of their uniforms, the Giants are still the blankety-blank Giants to big Don Newcombe. And because of this hatred for Bill Rigney’s crew, which .joes back to his glory days in Brooklyn, the tag Cincinnati right-hand-er indirectly is helping his old Dodger tearqmates in their bid to catch the Giants in the current National League pennant chase. Newcombe, backed up by a 15hit Cincinnati attack, turned in a 7-0, shutout victory over San Francisco Tuesday night while the Dodgers pulled to within two games of the pace-setters by outlasting the Milwaukee Braves, 7-6, in a 13-inning, 4% hour marathon. Repulski Raps Spahn The Dodgers scored their winning run against the Braves on a triple by Wally Moon and Rip Repuhki’s single off ace Warren Spahn, the seventh Milwaukee pitcher.

Gridders Slack Off As Practices Step Up

Decatur football hopefuls, apparently aching from newly found muscles which used to a great extent on opening day'drills for the coping football season, slacked off slightly Tuesday, but Coach Bob Worthman said they should be ready to come-back today in fine style. Although expanding on contact drills in the afternoon session yesterday, Worthman was not impressed with the line play.

It was Ashburu’s first RBI since July 30 The Chicago White Sox opened a l ! /i game lead over Cleveland in the American League race by edging the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4, while the Washington Senators handed the Indians their fourth straight defeat, 11-4. The New York Yankees turned back the Detroit Tigers, 5-3, and the Boston Red Sox nipped the Kansas City Athletics, 5-4. Fox Paces Sox A two-run double by Nellie Fox in the eighth inning carried the White Sox to their comeback victory over the Orioles. Baltimore chased Early Wynn in opening a 4-2 lead in the fifth inning but Gerry Staley took over in the sev-

stitute backs ran from offensive patterns as two.lines played "buck heads” for about 35 minutes. Wortnman deplored the blocking, tackling, and generally lack-luster of team play. He said, “As soon as the young muscles get toned to the physical exercise, I expect to see a lot better work being done. I expect to see this—whether I do or not, remains for the boys to show me.” Another morning and afternoon session will be conducted toduy with better results expected. The big problem still faced by Worthman is solving the depth in the line. A starting seven can be picked from the 50-odd line candidates, but relief players seem to be few and far between. But, at this early date, nothing definite can really be determined. Worthman said. The problem, however, remains.
