New VorA Yankees Take Big
Slices When Series Pie Cut
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (IB Want
some good financial advice, young
man? - ,
Then earn a New York Yankee
uniform, roll up the sleeves, cup
your hands and prepare to grab
the biggest pot 'o gold in baseball.
The longer you stick around with
the Yankees, the more you'll make.
. By simple arithmetic, the Yan
kee front offico figured Tuesday
that -since the club began winning
pennants in 1921, its players have
received a staggering total of $3,
525,809.82 in World Series cuts."
The total Is made up of players'
pool money paid to 19 pennant
winning teams, including 15 World
Scries winners, six second-place
clubs',, five third-place teams and
one fourth-place contingent.
For references, . check Frank
Crosctti, who has worn the Yan
kee uniform first as a player and
then as a coach since 1932.
For his labors since that time,
Crosetti has profited to the sum of
lightly more than $75,000 in World
Series slices. Add his salary to
that sum and you'll .find that the
slender ex-shortstop has received
well over $300,000 from the Yan
kees. ,
. Joe DiMaggio drew more than
$60,000 in addition to his regular
salary, while Babe Ruth, Lou Geh
rig and Bill Dickey also were in
the higher World Series financial
brackets.
Only one Yankee club in the past
3 35 years the 1925 entry failed to
finish in the first division and there
fore was the only team during that
period not to share in the World
Series spoils.
Breaking down the figures since
1921, Yankee players have, aver
aged $3,148.03 per season in World
Sm-ips mnnpv. Fnr that snmp- np-
Arioel, the St. Louis Cardinals are
i Wsecond with an average of $1,465.72
with $1,147.46.
Tony Despirito
On Victory Spree
NEW YORK. Oct. 21 (IB Tony
Despirito is on another victory
spree and before the week ends
he may become the ninth U. S.
jockey ever to ride more than 300
winners in a single season.
Despirito rode his first winner
last Jan; 22 at Florida's Sunshine
Park. Monday he won half of the
eight races at Rockingham Park
to boost his seasons victory total
of 292.
He came out of a slight slump
last Saturday by riding three win
ners. Collecting 15 winners in a
week isn't unusual for the 103
pound apprentice and by Saturday
night he may have cracked the
select 300 circle.
Barring injury, Despirito prob
ably will lead the nation's jockeys
in winners this year. Hal (Red)
Keene, an experienced rider and
one of Despirito's leading boosters,
is a distant second with 246 firsts.

By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Preu Sports Writer)
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 UW An
Avalanche of high scores and an
epidemic of. fumbles were contrib
uting generously to the woes of
the nation's football coaches Tues
day and the harried victims had
numerous reasons for these ca
tastrophes. The bobble champions last
weekend were Purdue end Notre
Dame. The Boilermakers, acting
as if they deserved their- nick
name through liquid consump
tion, flubbed the ball 11 times.
Notre Dame managed only 10
fumbles, for a total of 21 in the
ball game. - -v "
Kentucky, Auburn and Prince
ton all crowded into the act with
eight each. '-. .
In the "Hit 'em again, hard
er" department, South Dakota
State walloped North Dakota,
60-6; "Detroit flattened Drake,
57-0; Miami of Ohio belted
Wichita, 56-7, and so on into
the bruised and weary night.
Hughie Devore, the former No
tre Dame and St, Bonaventure
coach now at NYU, explains these
phenomena by asserting that the
fumbles are due to the fast-breaking
offense currently in vogue
while the high scores may be at
tributed to the forward pass.
"In the split-T formation par
ticularly," Devore asserted, "fum
bles are a big hazard. That's be
cause there is a lot of speedy ball
handling, first to one side and
then to the other, and this ever
increasing tempo results In more
and more fumbles.
"As for the big scores, the main
reason is the forward pass," he
insisted. "Just about any running
attack can be bottled up with a
tight defense. Even a good run
ning club eventually goes to the
pass and when it has an adept
passer it completely demoralizes
the defense.
"Add to that the fact that by
this time of the year the passers
know their receivers and . their
potentials from experience,' and
you have the reason for the
touchdown parade," he added,
- Art . Rainio, the Vlllanova
coach whose team is undefeat
ed in five games, agreed. He
pointed out that his victory
skein was due to offensive bal
ancedand that he permits both
halfbacks to throw the ball ev
en though neither is particular
ly accurate.
Raimo calls his Gene Fllipski,
a former Army star, "one of the
finest running backs in the coun
try."
But. he disclosed, he lets l'liip-
ski heave the ball, too, on occas
ion even though Galloping Gene
hasn't completed a pass this sea
son. The theory is "Throw it
and keep the defense loose."
Yet, Benny Friedman, former
Michigan All-Amerlcan coaching
undefeated Brandeis, thinks some
quarterbacks throw the ball too
much. He sent in directions to his
quarterback last weekend to call
a fake pass and send the fullback
through the middle. The play net
ted a touchdown.
"Gee, coach," the signal caller
told him, "You're a pretty good
quarterback, too."

Fanatic Chinese Reds Fail
To Break Through Defenses
By ROBERT UDICK
SEOUL, Korea, Oct. 21 1P
Two Chinese battalions charged
Sniper Ridge through mud and.
driving rain Tuesday night, but
the Reds failed to break through
murderous streams of South Ko
rean machine gun and rifle fire.
Rain concealed tne l.suo Kcus
as they sneaked up the base of
the central r rout mountain. How
ever, they had indicated an attack
was In the making by unleashing
a heavy artillery barrage.
The fanatic Chinese assault be-
itan at 6:40 p. m. and was contin
uing an hour later. The Reds did
not succeed In getting to within
hand grenade range of Republic
of Korea 2nd Division defenders.
Rain bogged down the Red at
tackers, but it prevented the
South Koreans from lighting
flare3 to illuminate the exposed
enemy. It was believed the Reds
held a third battalion in immedi
ate reserve.
Heavy fog before nightfall ham
pered an attack by South Korean
troops on Iron Horse Mountain,
west of Sniper Ridge. The ROK's
stormed up the southern slope
to within 50 yards of the crest.
Hurling hand grenades and fir
ing small arms, the South Kore
ans dug In on the mouniainside a
short distance from Chinese Com
munists defending the peak.
The assault took place in a
heavy fog which prevented a col
umn of allied tanks from giving
the riflemen close support with
heavy guns. It was the heaviest
action along the 155-mlle battle
front. Meanwhile, a low and dense
cloud layer virtually halted U. N.
air operations after daybreak.
Earlier, U. N. warplanes hit en
emy supply lines to prevent rein
forcement of battered. Red units.
Elsewhere on the Central Front,
American and South Korean In
fantrymen threw back light prob
ing attacks.

However, the Communists, still
held Pike's Peak on the northwest

Eisenhower Expected to Win
Oregon's 6 Electoral Votes
Bv WIIXIAM WARREN
SALEM, Oct. 21 (IK Despite the
defection of Oregon Sen. Wayne
Morse and a young Republican
leader from Snlem named Steve
Anderson, Gen. Dwlght D. Eisen
hower is expected to win Oregon's
six electoral college votes. at the
Nov. 4 general election.
Oregon, which normally votes
Republican, was the lone Pacific
Coast state to stand In the Thomas
E. 'Dewey camp in the 1948 elec
tion which saw the return of Pres
ident Truman to the White House.
There is no Indication that this
state will not go Republican again.
In fact, the enthusiasm for Gen.
Eisenhower, the Republican mmv
inee, was In great evidence in the
general's swing through Oregon on
his recent "whistle stop tour.
Right here in Salem, a crowd
estimated, by police at more than
10,000 turned out to greet the gen
eral and Mrs. Eisenhower with
warm enthusiasm, and the crowd
was all one way for Ike Elsenhow
er, himself, told the crowd that it
was the biggest that had yet turn
ed out for a back platform ap
pearance on his train. Greeted with
equal enthusiasm was Mrs. Eisen
howerMamie. On the other hand, the only ap
pearance of Illinois Gov. Adlai
Stevenson, the Democratic presl
dentinl nominee, made in Oregon
was at Portland and ngoin at Pen
dleton. So residents of the popu
lous Wiflnmotte valley and points
south had no chance 'to sec the
man who Is seeking to succeed
Truman to the White. House on the
Democratic ticket.
The only Imponderable that might
change the course of things In No
vember, as far as Oregon is con
cerned, is the matter of the vice
presidency. ' .
It has been said many times that
a vice presidential nominee has no
positive influence on the election.
As witness 1948, when California's
popular governor, Earl Warren,
could not carry his own state for
Dewey even though he was the vice
presidential .nominee.
But, say some observers, includ
ing Sen. Morse, the vice presiden
tial candidate may carry some
negative influence. That is, some
voters may vote against a presi
dential nominee because he does
not like the vice presidential can
didate who would succeed him In
the event of denth In office. Here

Kenya also has a population
problem In Its 29,000 Europeans
as against more than 5.000,000
Africans and some 97,000 Indians.
However, as opposed to the
frank "white supremacy" policies
practised by the Union of South
Africa government, the British
have attempted in Kenya to de
velop the colony and protectorate
to the Negroes advantage.
Bit the Mau Mau campaign Is
straight from the jungle. And,
Ironically, at least part of It is due
to attempts to Improve the na

California, the Republican nominee
for vice president, made an ob
viously good impression on audi

Though he was under fire at that
time for accepting political contri
butions from Calltornla individ

the Southern Pacific line In good

his explanation of the contributions
