SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

THE Brooklyn Dodgers may think they're playing through this current western trip for Larry McPhail, but actually they're playing for Branch Rickey, the St. Louis Cards’ general manager, points out Bob Considine

in the New York Mirror.

Considine figures it out in this way: “The Dodgers make about $25,000 out of each western trip, when all the tabs are paid. This

is what the team will ‘be forced to pay Rickey and the Cardinals for Don Padgett, now of the navy at Great Lakes Where he is one of

the top sluggers on the Bluejackets’ nine. “Until somebody shrewder comes along, We'll have to pick Rickey as the last word in the David Haruming. He has kept the Cards (and himself) in excellent financial condition for several years by selling ball players who, for the most Paz, were utterly through, Bud Padgett’s case is unique. “However, Rickey sold him unexpectedly to Brooklyn last winter. Padgett played in four cheap exhibition games and then, before

being drafted, joined the navy.

“At that rate he cost Brooklyn $6250 per exhibition. He was a fair ball player, but even Ruth wasn't worth that much. We understand that Rickey gets a percentage of all sales he arranges. He paid tax on more income than any other baseball man last year. We patiently await the day when he will sell Owner Sam

Breaden to Clark Griffith.”

Metoxen Death Recalls Carlisle Teams

FROM the columns of the Milwaukee Journal: “The sudden seizure which struck Jonas Metoxen, 68, as he walked along the bank of the Fox river canal, Menasha, Wis., last Thursday with his wife, ended a colorful career and recalled the heydays of the great Carlisle institute football teams. Metoxen fell into the canal and drowned before aid could be summoned. “Metoxen, known as the ‘whirling back’ during his football career, moved to Menasha after he had completed his education, Modest to an extreme, he was not recognized in Menasha .as the blocking back who had opened holes on the gridiron for Jim Thorpe, famous Indian fullback and athlete, until years later.

® » =

THE HIGH POINT in Metoxen’s gridiron career probably was reached the day he scored the winning two points for Carlisle against the University of California in the first east-west national championship game. That was in 1898, a year in which Carlisle won all 11 games on its schedule and then accepted the challenge of California. Metoxen tackled a California player back of his own goal

line to win the contest.

“A full blooded Indian, Metoxen was born at Oneida, Wis. He entered Carlisle in 1895 and played four years on the institute's

football team.

In those days power football .was the pattern.

He played with Carlisle against top eastern teams, such as Yale, Bucknell, Cornell, Brown, the Army and the Navy.”

Big Year In Tennis For Juniors

FOR THE 15th consecutive year the national juniors and boys tennis tournaments will be held on the clay courts of Culver mili-

tary academy, Aug. 3-8.

Because of the war and the capacity enrollment in the Culver summer schools during the past three years, there has been a

. question as to whether or not the academy would be able to con-

tinue sponsoring the national juniors and boys tennis tournaments

In accepting the 1942 national tourneys, Culver officials pointed

out that the academy feels a definite responsibility toward the

national youth physical program.

2 s 8

SINCE EVEN bad things produce some good, it ‘might be said that the war has provided a break for junior tennis players. . . Since so many adult tennis players have been called to active serve fce and into war work, a large share of the responsibility for the continuation of the game will fall upon the shoulders of the out=gtanding juniors,—hence the important emphasis upon this year’s tournaments at Culver. . . . All of the outstanding juniors will be -

entered in the men’s tourneys.

Segura Wins Fourth Title

NEW YORK, July 20 (U. P.).~= Francisco Segura’s South American way of playing tennis marked him today as the outstanding star of the 1942 amateur tennis season. Segura, Ecuadorean champion, won his fourth title in an many weeks yesterday when he defeated Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Cal, 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, in the final of the Eastern men’s singles clay court tournament. The 21-year-old South American's two-handed shots nicked the sidelines and brought chalk puffs from his opponent’s baseline as he set the pace in every set except the third. It was his first victory over Schroeder, who currently is the highest-ranked American amateur. Fifteen minutes after his victory over Schroeder, Segura teamed with Argentina’s Alejo Russell against Charley Mattmann of New York and George Richards of Los Angeles. Mattmann and Richards won the first two sets, 6-4, 6-4, Segura committing a stream of errors. But as the players switched sets after the second set, Mattmann suggested to Segura that he default because of his apparent exhaustion and Segura agreed.
