MANY INCIDENTS
Vncoached and Untrained
Lions and Rotarians
Fight to Draw
Twentv-two moil donned foot-
ball togs yesterday afternoon and
covered themselves with mud.
Wond. perspiration and slory in
playins to a scoreless tie l'or the
^nofit of the Boy Scouts.
Uofh the Rotarians and Lions
turned out in large numbers anil
feat tied for the supremacy of Bor-
der. Judge Hood and Jimmy Du-
tjin starred for the Jtotariajis whil-*
Slax Cherry and Grady Thompson
6flowed up best for the Mons.
The day dawned bright and clear
it perfect day for football ■••but
before noon a sprinkle of rain had
fctarted and grid fans feared they
■would miss the spectacle of Un-
gear. But the rain stopped and til?
ffinrs started to the ball park
At 2:30 four Rotarians in foot
fall toga and cowls appeared on
the field and sprinted around the
gridiron, trj !n~ out thnr cleats on
Use turf.
The red tiwea'ered Lions appear
at 15 and the red sweatered
Rotariaii' followed a few minutes
later. The two teams filled the field,
finning signals, kicking and pass-
ing the ball.
At tbe line up it was found that
pitch team lacked a center and two'
high school players agreed to takel
the opposing pivot positions. Morri-,
<;<Mi went In for the Rotarians and ;
Bullock for the l.ions.
Thft referee's whistle shrilled and
the football classic of the age was
on. .

The Lions kicked off over the
itoal line and went down like a wolf
j a.ek. N'o one covered the ball and
Ma\ Cherry made for it. hut his
anxiety gave him away and a Ro-
tK'riau fell on the oval just in
fitlle tu keep the Lions from making

initial first down of the game.
Xorris intercepted a Rotary pa s
but Bugan's tackle was loo much
for him and the ball was dropped,
fitotary recovering. The Lions 11\1
held and forced a punt, tackling llie
ball about the Stl-yord line.
Second Qua iter
Cherry muile n few good gains
around right end. hut no one wis
>.ble to gain around left end whni:e
Tovatl held sway. In vain did Xor-
ris, Coffee and Cherry try this end.
Hammond was laid out for lack of
wi^id and both teams took the op-
portunity to enjoy a brief breathing
aypell.
The Lions could not pass against
tfcu strong wind and before Cherry
could carry the ball to a touchdown

If some enterprising boy had
sold water for ten coats a cup he
would have made a fortune. The
men sprawled over the field, inok-
ing cigarettes.
Third Quarter.
The Lions rolled the ball lp'_1
than 10 yards 011 the kick-off, cov-
ering it before the Rotarians rca
lined what was happening. A long
argument ensued during which

Managers have been going

the Cards, their first pennant in
ages, who went as the first victim
of a move "for the best interests of
tin team."
Bob O'Karrcll moved in and
lasted only one season, although he
missed the pennant by only a game
and a half. Bill* McKeclmie then got
tin job and won the pennant after a.
terrific battle with the Giants.
And now. not particularly from
any inference that Hreadon gave in

derstood that McKechnie's one-year

The Cardinal.-' owners are said
to have proceeded so far in their
plans for a reorganization that they
are figuring 011 either Billy South-
worth or Frank Snyder, two former
I Giant/', and Cardinals, for the suc-
ei'ssot to McKechnle.
Snyder and Southworth arc now
important department heads of the.
extensive St. Louis farm system.
Snyder managed the Houston
club which beat Wichita Falls in the
play-off for the pennant and then
defeated Birmingham in the Dixie
Little World series.
Southworth managed the Riches-

won the pennant and which was de-
feated by Indianapolis in their
j Lift !e World series.
li McKeclmie goes, as it seems

be the opportune victim for

displeasure of his immediate
employers.
Creadon is too much of a sports-
man to make a public goal out of
anyone, and he made only casual
criticism of some tilings that M<-
K"ehnie had done or had failed to
do in the series. And he made it
dear that he was talking only as
