UNDATED — (.$>)—Detroit may
back into th eAmerican League
pennant by matching Washington
loss for loss, but the St. Louis
Cards, taking care of Chicago,
have to win the National League
flag the hard way. Harry Bre
cheen played with Charlie
Grimm’s dancing Bruins last night
shutting them out with six hits at
two to nothing.
It was the Cards fifteenth vic
tory in twenty starts. The Red
Birds are only two games behind
Chicago with eight to go. Wash- ;
ington missed the chance to go!
into a virtual tie lead when De
troit blew the opportunity to take
the commanding lead when the
two pennant scrappers dropped
respective six and one decisions. |

“OLD SARGE” DID A
TWO-MAN JOB
_
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
McGREGOR, Tex.—Old George
(Sarge) Connally, who for 13 years
threw his fast ball past the batters
of the major leagues, did a two
man job of producing tools of war
and food for the warriors.
He was a pipefitter at an ord
; nance plant here and operated a
350-acre farm on the side.
The Sarge had his baseball ca
j reer cut short when hit on the
i head by a foul ball in batting
! practice one day in 1935. He came
! home to McGregor to recuperate
but recovery didn’t come untli af
i ter he had suffered a stroke and
I exercised diligently for more than
• a year to regain control of his left
1 arm.
It was 24 years ago that a
youthful United States Marine
was pitching an exhibition game
I against the veteran Smoky Joe
Wood in Angers, France. Wood
beat him out in that game but en
couraged the Marine to try for the
big leagues when he returned to
the States.
So Sarge Connally shortly after
ward began his professional base
ball career with Yakima, Wash.,
being sold to the Chicago White
Sox two months later for $7,500.
Connally recalls some of the
happenings of his diamond tenure,
the most notable being this:
“It was just before Christmas
I in Chicago in 1934, I believe, that
Hal Totten and I were asked what
we could do to help raise some
money for a bunch of our little
knot-hole gang’ followers .who
didn’t have much to look forward
to.
“I had a big collection of auto
graphed baseballs. Hall and I de
cided to auction them off, so a ra
dio station gave us the time, and
we had plenty of baskets of candy,
groceries and clothing when the
last ball went.”
Besides an enviable record in
the majors, Connally has a con
1 gressional medal for heroism
which was awarded him for res
cuing a swimmer along the Paci
fic waters. The medal and time
faded clippings are in his antique
secretary which stands in the
' elaborate living room of his farm
home near here.
I His place—“Beulah Land”—is
a farmer’s paradise, with sheep,
cattle, hogs and chickens roaming
' around table land that still re
minds the six-feet, 190-pounder
of the days when a strip of smooth
i good earth furnished the urge to
“play a little ball.”
