Sports World Takes to
Air to Meet Schedules
By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Piua SporU Writer)
New York. Jan. 23 (U.R) ;
Sports are really up In the air
today and you can take that
from the flying machine com
panies who ferry the muscle
men madly about the world,
For instance, one outfit which
deals in modern magic carpets
and whose initials are TWA, col
lected almost $1,000,000 trans
porting athletes and sports of
ficials last year a Jump of 100
per cent over the previous year.
The biggest airline selling
; point Is speed, particularly
- when it conies to college ath
' letic teams. When California
flew east to meet Navy in
' 1048 the team was absent
from school only two days.
They left California on Thurs
day morning and were back
Sunday night with a trans
continental trip and a vic
tory behind them.
On the shorter intersectlonal
trips, the "students" lose only
one day.
Football scouts also find the
quick action attractive. They
can see a game on Saturday and
be home Sunday to go over their
gcouting reports. The airline
also arranges to ship them their
movie film of the game by
Sunday night.
With accent on getting some
where qulcked than a special
delivery letter, the airlines hold
that pro football could not man
age its coast-to-coast schedule
without them. And along these

$13,000 Palm Beach Round-Robin
golf tournament next spring
will take on added significance.
The dates announced by Harold
(Jug) McSpaden, tournament
director, show that the 72-hole
event will be held one week af
ter the US Open and one week
before the PGA championship.
The Palm Beach, formerly
called the Goodall Round-Robin,
again will be held at the
Wykagyl Country club here for
the third Btralght time. The
four-day tournament begins
June 15.
The U.S. Open winner is al
most certain to be among the
16 top pros since McSpaden is
reserving one invitation to the
'big champion.

will go to the Francis Ouimet
Caddie Scholarship fund, prin
cipal beneficiary again will be
the New Rochelle hospital.
In the eight previous tourna
ments, only Ben Hogan and
Bobby Locke of South Africa
have been two-time winners.
Other winners have been Her

Football and basketball
have accounted for most of the
increase. More than 100 col
leges now are using this
method to save class time
and still play lntersectional

football club except the Bears,
Cardinals and Giants used air
travel almost exclusively last
season. Ohio State also flew
to the Rose Bowl.
One bit of athletic business
the airlines aren't too interested
in is transporting race horses.

Brave Deals
When Mack
By FRANK ECK
(AP New. Features SporU Editor)
New York Braves field con
cessionaries should break a Back
Bay record for scorecard sales
next season. Practically every
fan will need a scorecard to find
out who's playing where.
Unless more deals are made
only two Boston Braves who
started the 1949 season will be
back at the same positions on
opening day this year. They
figure to be Earl Torgeson at
first base and Bob Elliott at
third.
The wholesale shifts made
this winter by Manager Billy
Southworth recall the time al
most 20 years ago when Connie
Mack broke up his great Phila
delphia pennant winners.
The Athletics had won
three straight American league
flags, 1929-30-31. Among the
great players on those teams
were Lefty Grove, George
Earnshaw, Mickey Cochrane,
Mule Haas, Al Simmons,
Jimmy Foxx, Jimmie Dykes,
Rube Walberg, Max Bishop,
Roger (Doc) Cramer and Ed
Rommel.
When the Athletics finished
second, 13 games back of the
New York Yankees, in 1932, Mr.
McGillicuddy thought the time
was right to unload his then
high-salaried runners-up. Though
Mr. Mack got talent and about
a half million dollars for his
stars his teams spent 14 straight
years 1934 through 1947
in the second division.
In the fall of 1932 Mack un
loaded Simmons, Dykes and
Haas, relieving the Chicago
White Sox of some $150,000 in
the process. All were popular
in Philadelphia. Dykes, as a
third baseman, spent IS seasons
Sam Snead (right) accepts con
gratulations from his rival, Ben
(left) talks with Dr. Edwin
Jr., chairman of athletics at
Recall Days
Broke up A's
with the A's, Simmons nine and
Haas five. Simmons, who pack
ed power in his drives even with
one foot in the bucket, led the
league in hitting with .381 in
1930 and .390 in 1931. The
deal was supposed to help the
White Sox but the best they
could do was finish third in
1936.
After the A's were third in
1933, Mack really went to town
Within one week in December
that year, he stripped the team
of Cochrane, Grove, Walberg,
Bishop, Earnshaw and Rommel.
Cochrane, a brilliant catcher for
nine years with the A's, was
sold to the Detroit Tigers for
$100,000 and Catcher John
Pasek. Rommel, now an Amer
ican league umpire, was made
coach at the age of 35 after
13 years as an Athletic hurler.
Earnshaw, after six years as
an A hurler, went to the White
Sox for one player and $20,000.
But the big deal was Bish
op, Grove and Walberg to the
Bosox for two players, Bob
Kline and Rabbitt Warstler,
and $125,000. Bishop, naval
academy baseball coach for
the last 15 years, was a crack
second baseman for 10 years
with the A's and Grove, in
nine years in Fhilly, won 195
games. In eight years in Bos
ton his southpaw soupbone
was good for 105 wins, just
enough to give him 300 in the
American league.
You might ask what happened
(o Jimmy Foxx and Doc Cramer.
They were in their prime when
Mack tore his great team apart.
Cramer, who hit .386 in 1932
but played in only 92 games
and wasn't eligible for the bat
ting crown won by Dale Alex
ander's .367, remained for three
more years after which he went
to the Bosox with Eric McNalr
for two players and cash. Foxx,
whose .356 in 1933 led the Amer
ican league hitters, stayed with
Connie through 1935 then was
sold to the Bosox for $150,000
and two players. The deals put
the Bosox in the first division
but not until 1938 did they fin
ish as high as second.
If Mr. Mack had his way
again, he might make the same
deals although today he could
get well over one million dol
lars for the same players. After
all, what's money today? Which
brings to mind the Braves.
They are well fortified with the
green stuff which is supplied by
three subway contractors, Lou
Perini, Guido Rugo and Joseph
Maney, affectionately known
around Boston as the Three
Steam Shovels.
The Braves didn't want money.
Their purpose was to rid the
dissension-wracked club of play
ers who, after winning the 1948
National league pennant, could
do no better than win a photo
finish for fourth place, and that
on the final day bf the season.
The Boston difficulties began
in the spring with players break
ing training. One incident ov
ershadowed another until South-
worth, a sick man, left the team
in mid-August. To top this off,
reports say 11 of 19 players at a
clubhouse meeting voted South-
worth only a half share of Bos
ton's fourth place World Series
cut.
When the Braves open the
1950 season at least 18 play-

Frisco Hurler Tabbed
To Be Most-Sought-After
By HAL WOOD
(United Prem SporU Writer)
San Francisco, Jan. 23 (U.R)
The most-sought-after baseball
player in the minor leagues in
1950 will be none other than
towering Con Dempsey, right
handed hurler for the San Fran
cisco Seals.
That is the opinion of Mana
ger Frank (Lefty) O'Doul, and
General Manager Charles Gra
ham of the Seals two fellows
who have looked at a lot of base
ball flesh during the past quar
ter of a century.
"We've heard rumors that
Dempsey isn't 'sound,' " said
Graham, "but he has had a
physical checkup and a clinic
reports him as being in perfect
condition.
'Their only recommendation
was that he put on a little extra
weight. He weighs 190 pounds
now, but is in the process of ad
ding another 15 or 20 pounds."
It is O'Doul's belief that
Dempsey, a sensation as a fresh
man in 1948, will win 20 or 25
games this year, and that he'll be
worth $100,000 on the baseball
slave mart.
"Remember, Con had the flu
ers from their 1948 cham
pionship club will have de
parted. Southworth, until last
season, always had been able
to get the most out of his
players. Never has he seen
the second division as a man
ager. But when the Braves report to
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., next
spring, Billy will have a terrific
remodeling job on his hands.
Since Boston has been accus
tomed to pennant contenders the
last few years, Southworth def
initely is on the baseball spot
for 1950.

germ through the first 15 games
oi last season and he lacked the
speed and stamina to pitch win
ning ball.
"But don't overlook the
fact," said O'Doul, "that he
pitched In 15 games the last
half of the season; completed
14 of them and won 10. He
also tied for the league lead in
shutouts with five."
Last year Dempsey. now a 27-
year-old athlete with only three
behind him due to long navy
service, won 17 and lost 14, with
an earned-run average of 4.23.
That was some comedown
from the kid sensation of 1948
when he won 16, lost 10 and
posted a remarkable E. R. A. of
2.10.
Both seasons, however, he led
the Pacific Coast league in strike
outs .with 171 in 1948, and 164
in 1949.
"Dempsey was with a seventh-place
club last year,"
said Graham. "This year he'll
have a lot more hitting behind
him; a faster all-around club.
We are counting on him to be
the star of our mound staff.
"He was the most soueht-after
pitcher in the minor leagues in
i48: the scouts cooled off on
him last season; but he'll be
worth $100,000 to anyone by the
end of the 1950 season."
Dempsey, a graduate of Uni
versity of San Francisco, has
been taking it easy through the
winter months hoping to add
tnose lew pounds of weight that
the doctor advised.
And he's sure this will be
"his" season.
Premium gasolines averaged
88 octane rating in the summer
of 1949, says the U.S. bureau of
mines, compared with 86.1 in
1948.
