Boston Braves1 Wonder Team Posted Biggest Sports Upset During First Half Of Century By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Jan. 23. UP) On July 11 of 1914 the Boston Braves were running dead last in the National league 1H4 games behind the pacesetting New York vjianis. Three months later the team di. rected by "Miracle Man" George mailings won tne National league flag by 10hi games and plastered the famed Philadelphia Athletics four straight in a sensational world series. That, say the nation's sports writers and sportscasters, was the greatest sports upset of the first 50 years of the century. By a margin of 128 to 53 the amazing feat of the hub city Im mortals has been adjudged a greater shocker than Gene Tun ney's victory over Jack Dempsey In their first fight for the heavy weight title at Philadelphia in 1926. . In AP Poll Only one other upset In the 50 years got really serious support among the 361 experts from coast to coast who chewed on their pen- cils. drew upon their memories and replied to an Associated Press , poll. That was little Centre college's dramatic 60 triumph over Har vard back In 1921, when the Crim son was a football power to be reckoned with. Forty cast their ballots for Bo McMillin and the storied "Praying Colonels." Fourth, far back with 24 votes In the final count, came Jim Braddock's "Cinderella Man" vic tory over Max Baer for the heavy, weight championship in June, 1935. Man O' War's defeat by Upset at Saratoga Springs In 1919 the only loss by the great thorough bred in a 21-race career placed fifth in the surprise stakes with 21 votes. Max Schmellng's 12 round knockout of the rising Joe Louis in 1936 drew 12 avid sup porters. Notre Dame Yet ' Going farthest back In the PRUDENTIAL LIFE Iniuranet HORACE C. BERG Special Agent 111 W-st Oak Offlet 712-J Res. 871-J Linesman Figures Army Stake at $88,200 Sgt. 1st Class Vernon Saulsbury knows a good thing when he sees it. What he saw at war's end was the chance for a good job and un equalled security in the U. S. Army. That's why at age 49 Ver non can retire as a Master Sgt with a monthly income of $220.50 for life. For that size annuity, a civilian would have to invest $88,200! "I learned my trade In the Army," says Vernon, "and today I could step Into a good paying civilian job. But I've thought it all over pay, promotion, security and the Army wins hands down. I'm staying in." For full information on what the Army offers you, see your nearest Recruiting Office today.

CHOOSE FROM OUR SPLENDID STOCKS THIS WEEK Fair Prices, Always All Your Building Needs In One Stop 2Wu Gerfet $cn years, ten voters chose Notre Dame's 35-13 football victory over Army tn laid as the greatest eye brow-lifter. That was the year Knute Kockne and uus Dorais In traduced the Cadets to aerial war fare. Seven votes each were cast for Dempsey's three-round slaughter of Jess Wlllard in 1919, Holy Cross' 55-12 football blackout of unbeaten Boston college in '42, and Navy's 21-21 gridiron tie with Army In '48. From there on, the boys covered a lot of territory, with old but not-forgotten football glories standing out in the memories of a great majority of the balloteers. Tennis, strangely, did not attract a vote. Golf Upset Recalled Perhaps most surprising was the fact that only one participant recalled amateur Francis Qui met's wonderful victory over the British stars, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, in a playoff for the 1913 open golf championship. It was an upset which made this coun try golf conscious. Best remembered of the Boston team which electrified the base ball world in 1914 probably were catcher Hank Gowdy, second-baseman Johnny Evers and shortstop Rabbit Maranville. Gowdy hit .545 in the crushing world series victory over the Athletics, Evers .438. The club had three terrific pitchers in Dick Rudolph, Bill James and George (Lefty) Tyler. They allowed the Athletics, noted as sluggers, exactly six runs in the four series games. The A's of that year boasted such mound Im mortals as Herb Pennock, Bob Shawkey, Chief. Bender, Eddie Plank and Bullet Joe Bush and their famous $100,000 infield. Eugene Awarded Big Six Crown SALEM, Jan. 23 UP) The 1949 football championship of the Big Six league was awarded here Saturday to Eugene high school. There had been a dispute over the title winner after the Ore gon School Activities association ruled all Corvallis games forfeit ed as a penalty for vandalism at Albany. Salem, Albany and Eu gene ended the league play in a tie because of the association rul ing. Corvallis had defeated Salem and Albany, but the association ruling technically gave the vic tories to the opposing teams. Coaches, athletic directors, principals and superintendents of the league schools settled ths question by deciclng to count all games as played. This gave Eu gene a clear claim. . In another decision, the offi cials revised the' three -minute rule in basketball. In future lea gue contests, two free throws will be allowed for all fouls commit ted after the automatic time in the fourth quarter and the ball will remain in play after the se cond shot Drain Warriors Beat Junction City, 38-35 The Drain Warriors edges a highly-touted Junction City basketball crew, 38-35, Satur day night at Drain.

Formers Insurance Exchange LaChappelle Wins Chance At Al Szasz By CHUCK PLUMMER Rough and tough Leo Walllck won a shot at Al Szasz's cham pionship belt as he defeated Mau rice La Chappelle in an exciting match Saturday night at the armory. In the opening bout, Al Szasz defeated flash newcomer Ted Bell via the two out of three fall route. The main bout started out slow and unexciting, and ended up with a bang as the two wrtstlers staged as rough a battle as has been seen for a good while. Wal lik took the first fall with a body press after ducking one of La Chappelle's body slams and fall ing on top of him. La Chappelle, although absorbing much punish ment from blows dealt out by Walllck, ducked out of two of Wallick's famous plledrivers and won the fall with a body slam, a dropkick, and a body press. The last fall was Just one big slugfest. La Chappelle finally, it seemed, got a bit peeved at Wal lick's foul treatments and prompt ly started slugging him around the ring until Walllck was so groggy he couldn't stand up; but Walllck somehow struggled up from the mat each time and came back to take the fall with his fa mous piledriver. The piledriver didn't work the first time on La Chappelle as it usually does on others, but when Walllck had La Chappelle maneuvered for anoth er one, Referee Glenn Detton stopped the bout and awarded the decision to Walllck. In the opener, Al Szasz, the Pa cific Coast lightheavywelght champ, stepped down from his perch to wrestle Ted Bell in order to scout the two wrestlers in the main event. As it turned out, Szasz was given quite a workout by the young fast-as-lightning Bell before he took the decision. Szasz 'took the first fall with a hold new io most wrestling fans. It was a reverse double stepover toe hold with a pin, but Szasz Just calls it the "Hungarian Twist. In the second fall, the two wrestlers at times were twisted up like pretzels, but they always managed to untangle themselves and Bell proceeded to win the fall with a spectacular rolling short arm scissors. Bell had the same hold, the rolling short-arm scis sors, in the final canto, and it looked like he would win the match with it, but Szasz stopped him In the middle of a roll and pinned him to win the deciison. Matchmaker Elton Owen an nounced that next week part of the proceeds from the wrestling bill would be donated to the March of Dimes. Broken Jaw May Keep Fighter Out 3 Months CHICAGO, Jan. 23 UP) Welterweight Johnny Bratton of Chicago sunercd a compound fracture of the lower left jaw in his technical knockout by light weight Champion Ike Williams at Chicago stadium Friday night.
