This is the sad story ot a lenow

of kicking a football that he lost
his job.
It doesn't sound possible, but
that's exactly the situation for
Joe (Little Toe) Vetrano, the
diminutive pom i-aiier-ioucn
of the San Fran
Cisco Forty-Niners for the past
four seasons.
Little Joe was cut loose from
4k. .mtH the other day despite
the fact that he was, believe It
or not, still working on a worm
record breaking string of con
lecutlve conversions.
During the past two years
Vetrano has hit the bull's eye
between the cross-bars on 107
consecutive attempts and had
been ready to continue this
year. In four years with the

(U.PJ E. J. (Dutch) Harrison,
who took fourth place In this
year's United States Open Golf
tournament, was married secret
ly in Little Rock, it was reveal

The bride is the former Thel
ma M. Akana, a senator in the

The marriage license listed the
groom's age as 40, the bride's

One of Harrison's closest
friends here, Henry Levy, said
the couple was married at a
private residence. He declined
to specify at whose home the
ceremony took place. The groom
could not be reached for com
ment. Harrison has been the hard
luck player In American golf
ing circles. He often has ended
among the top place winners
but has never taken a major
American golf championship.
However, ho is scheduled to de

ionship on August 24.

Vetrano had made food on
187 out of 203 attempts for
extra points; completed 16 out
of 33 attempts on field coals
and had scored 235 points.
He also held the record for
scoring in 56 consecutive
games.
Forty-Niners Boss Anthony
(Tony) Morabito was the fellow
that decided Vetrano would
have to go.
"Under the National league
rules we can carry only 32
men," said Morabito. "As a re
sult the one-shot specialist is
just about out.
"I talked the situation over
with Little Joe before the
season started and he realized
our position. He said he
wanted to try and make the
team as a halfback. Our
coaches gave him every op
portunity, but with all the
talent we have this year, he
just couldn't make the grade."
Head coach Buck Shaw hated
to drop Vetrano. In four years
of professional competition, the
Forty-Niners never have lost a
game by a single point thanks
to Vetrano.
As replacements, Shaw hasn't
a man who can come close to
comparing with Little Joe In
the kicking department. Quart'

back Wedemeyer probably will
do the place-kicking. The kick
offs may be handled by either
Norm Standlee or Joe Perry,
the fullbacks.
San Francisco fans, still
provencial enough to like to
run the town's sporting indus

Can you Imagine the yowl

O'Neill Blowup Recalls
Diamond's Old Time Jokes
By BARMAN W. NICHOLS
(United Preu eufr Correjpoodtnt
Washington, Aug. 21 ue
When Manager Steve O'Neill of
the Boston Red Sox blasted his
stack in Cleveland recently after
a practical Joke was played on
him, the old-timers started rale
ing the record for similar inci
dents. The veterans came up with
some dandles.
But to bring everybody up to
date. Steve had accused the
Cleveland Indians of stealing
his pitchers via binoculars. Next
night the BoSox manager was
honored with a shower of gifts
among them a pair of toy spy
glasses. Hence the top-blowing
on Steve's part.
All of which recalled to mind
some funny incidents of the like

thorized a book on baseball
oddities called "Low and In

The rest is all Smith.
It seems, according to the
Smith boys, that once in awhile
even umpires can be involved
in practical Jokes. Such as the
case, at least back in 1897. Min
neapolis in those days was in
the Western League and one
Frank March was to umpire the
opener. He approached the
groundkeeper and said he had
Just received word- from the
high command of baseball that
the field should be painted white
and the foul lines black.
The ground keeper was at
a loss, but March was a big
help. "Get hold of a street
sprinkler and fill the thing
with whitewash," the umpire
said.
The grounds - keeper soon
learned that the holes in the
sprinkler nozzles were too small
for whitewash. He went to the
city council and the city coun
cil told him to go away. At
length he called on club officials
and they told him the truth. .
Umpire March, it said in the
local prints at that time, was
not around to umpire the open
er. Even club presidents in the
old days often resorted to prac
tical Jokes to get what they
wanted out of the boys. One
such was Chris Von der Ahe
of the St Louis Browns. At
the beginning of the 1894 sea
son, Chris gave each member of
the squad a new suit one iden
tical to the suit the president
himself always wore. It wasn't
long before the players learned
why the old man had been so
generous.
It seems the fellows had
been a little lax about training
rules. Sly old Chris had
figured out a way to cure 'em.
He got himself a "private eye"
and told same to hang around
the gin mills and to watch for
customers wearing "suits just
like I got on."
The Brownie president didn't
have any trouble with disci

trick or two in olden times with
the help of their managers.
One hot day in Pittsburgh in
1912 the Pirates were entertain
ing the Phillies. The Pirates had
a new pitcher named Marty
O'Toole, who was to be on the
mound that day. The Phillie
first baseman, Fred Luderus,
figured out a way to lick
O'Toole.
O'Toole was a spit-baller,
who used to hold the ball up
to his puss behind bis glove
and lick it with his tongue.
Luderus, with the blessing of
his boss, equipped himself
with a powerful liniment and
whenever he got the ball he
would douse it good. Before
long, : O'Toole was suffering
the tortures of the damned,
tongue-wise. There was a
violent protest from the Pirate
bench, but Manager Red Doo
lin of the Phils accepted the
entire responsibility.
"We protest," he informed the
president of the league, "because
how do we know O'Toole doesn't
have something awful, like
trench mouth?"
The Pirates won the game,
anyway.

Reports that a big run of Chi

Columbia river could not be con

Aug. 28.
Fishermen said if the run is
confirmed, extra fishing days
would be sought from the state
fishing commission.
Ocean trailers indicated yes
terday that the salmon are off
the river's mouth. Local fisher
men felt the fish might be re
luctant to enter the river because
of high water, which puts fresh
water farther out in the ocean.

Pope Declares Dogmas of
Church Must Be Accepted
Vatican City, Aug. 21 VP) Pope Pius XII today told Catholic
clergy throughout the world that the dogmas of the church must
be accepted and respected.
In a long and important encylical letter he emphasized the
necessity of safeguarding all religious instruction against the
4aint nt 'etrrnr "
The encyclical was issued at a
moment when the question of
dogma has become a subject of
controversy between Catholics
and Protestants. This stems from
the Vatican's announcement that
the pope will soon proclaim as
dogma the Virgin Mary's as
sumption into heaven In body as
well as spirit.
The announcement provoked
critcism in Protestant circles, es
pecially ,on the part of the
Church of England, whose lead
ers said they saw in it the threat
of a new obstacle to the move
ment for christian unity.
A formal statement by the
heads of the Church of England,
the Archbishops of Canterbury
and York, expressed "profound
regret" that the Catholic church
had "chose this act to Increase
dogmatic differences in Christen
dom and thereby gravely injured
the growth of understanding be
tween Christians."
The pope will pronounce the
new dogma on Nov. 1 as a dra
matic highlight to the 1950 Holy
Year. He will hold a secret
consistory of the College of
Cardinals the day before.
In today's encyclical letter the
pope reviewed at length what he
termed deviations in faith in
modern times, then concluded
with these instructions:
"Let the teachers in ecclesi
astical institutions be aware that
they cannot with tranquil con
science exercise the office of
teaching entrusted to them, un
less in the Instruction of their
students they religiously accept
and exactly observe the norms
which we have ordained.
