Tako Early Lead made a gallant goal line stand.

On the second Rinaldi play, however, Atchison intercepted a flat pass not far from the line of scrimmage and ran it to the three. Gonet went over on Arst try and Borelli crashed for the added marker. The last TD came late in the period, and was set up by a series of short slams, although a delayed buck with Drewnowski car, rying netted 17 yards. Gonet scored from the seven and Stu Safford passed to Borelli for the extra point.

The Aggies showed they had the stuff to come back, however, for on the ensuing kickoff they began drive which eventually led to one a touchdown and then added some insurance points in the last minute of the game. At the outset of 'the tilt It looked though the Brownies, would have little difficulty their ninth straight success, for after a Rinaldi punt had given them the ball on the T'Villers 45-yard stripe, they used only four plays to dent the scoring column. Hammerin' Hank Drewnowski drew the honor of opening scoring as he banged over from the four. Borelli's 21-yard sprint was the longest single advance in this set of plays.

It was the best run of the day. The following boot bounced off Mush Grasso and went out of bounds on the Agaward 17. Here the Brownies began an advance that netted 74 yards and five first downs, themt which finally wound up on the Rinaldi 14 when the Thompsonville gridders giamore of the Rinaldi Post expressed himself as being very dissatisfied with the officiating in the contest and issued the following statement: "The Rinaldi team is very dissatisfed with the officiating of its contest with the Agawam A.

Early in the final period, the Tami Mauriello in Third Comeback Fight Tonight ALL ANGLES by VIC WALL Why are there no more 30-gamo winners among big league pitchers toHere's part of the answer from veteran campaigner: "Johnny Sain was a ligitimate workhorse son yet fell far short of the 30-victory mark with A 24-15 record. No pitcher, in fact, has won 30 since Dizzy Dean in 1034 and none has come: close since 1914 when Hal Newhouser won twenty-nine games and lost nine. Yet. prior to 1920, the 30-victory total was far from out of reach. Occasionally a pitcher could attain or threaten wins.

Why, then, is it so difficult for the modern hurler to approach, what his ancestor accepted badge of a standout performer. LIVELY BALL THE ANSWER answer probably lies in the introduction of the lively hall. The- figures indicate that it would be unfair judge the modern pitcher with the old timer on the basis of the number of would times he each 49 30 games, That faulty reasoning as to judge the modern slugger with the homer. hitter of the earlier years on the hagis of number of home runs each hit. Just as the rahhit has sent home it run has totals tended soaring, to so, conversely, reduce a pitcher's victory totals.

"Bob Feller created 2 sensation in 1916 by working in 48 games and 371 innings while compiling a 26-15 record. Observers agreed that Feller might have been dangerously over- worked and his subsequent showing has supported that lief. Yet Ed Walsh worked in 66 games and 461 innings in 1908 and in same year, Christy Mathewson pitched 331 innings and had it 37-11 record. Jack Chesbro had 53 decisions, 12 record in 1904, and Joe McGinnityle had A 31-19 record in 1903. It is indisputable that no modern pitcher could pitch 19 often as these men.

Since 1925 only three pitchers (Charley Root, 26-15 in 1029; Dizzy Trout, 21-11 in 1944 and Feller) have had more than dicisions. Over the last 23 years the lowest possible percentage a pitcher could have compiled and won 30 games was .732, representInge a 30-11 record. HOW IT WORKS OUT "P'erhaps not by coincidence the combined record of all the 30 game seasons previous to 1920 was .133. What today is the absolute low in efficiency required for ning 30 games, was, 25 years ago, the average figure required to reach that goal. In most cases the modern must post a record' of pither 30-7 or 30-8.

Only three game winners previous to 1920 approached such eNiciency-Me. Ginnity, 35-8, in 1901; Joe Wood, 31-5 In 1912 and Walter John on. 36-7, In 1913. Since 1920 two pitch. erg have done it -Lefty Grove, 31-4, In 1931 and Dean, 30-7 in 1931.

Mathewson won 30 games four times, hut his highest percentage was Once it was Grover Cleveland Alexander never did better than though he won 30 games three times. Cy Young won 30 games five times but never approached SIN) The deduction seems obvious, Victories mean nothing in era-to-era comparisons. If you must make such comparisOng, use the percentage. That is the method which is fair to both." Calling Holdie Dyer a Brave one who follows closely the of the St. Louis Cardinals and his shots A8 he sees them says: "Fiddie Dyer is A brave man if he looks forward eagerly to managing the Cardinals next year.

The club needs help in every department and despite a brave effort toward optimism on the part of the front office, the help is not plainly in sight. The infield is shakey. Whitey Kurowaki has undergone another operation, and he's an uncertain prospect, at best. His replacement, Don Lang, was not brought up AS a prospective regular. He was expected merely to spell Whitey occasionally.

Marty Marion is having increasing trouble with his sacroilliac. Red Schoendicnst's shoulder was a probe lom all during 1948. Nippy Jones didn't hit the way his minor league indicated he might. If hard hitting. stalwart replacements, they could take over the four Cardinal Infield spots.

The only Cardinal who could 1 be sure of taking a job in the Cardinal infield against. all opposition an outfielder, That's right, Stan the Man. Enos Slaughter indicated in 1948 that he might have another fine senson in his old bones, but there's a big hole in centerfield. Terry Moore: is through as a regular. Minor league farm executives are scrambling now for Terry's 1049 services as manager.

The Cardinals need at least one and could use two new outfielders for 1949. And when you consider that Dyer also will be looking for two new catchers and several pitching replacements to bolster a wobbly staff, you'll have a rough idea of the job ahrad of the 1919 Redbird manager."
