Comment 0n Disputed Play ln Series Opener

BOSTON. 00f. 8—(AiP)-—Bi1l Veeck, president of the Cleveland Indians. when shown the Associ- ated press picture sequence of the disputed play at second base in the eighth inning of the World Ser- ies, said tonight:

"They are very interesting pic- tures. but the some ls over".

The sequence shows manager Lou Boudreau of the Indians tag- ging Phil Mast of the Braves M he slid back into second after a fast peg from pitcher Bob Feller.

Boudreau at the time argued with umpire Bill Stctvarts decision calling Mast safe. Mast went 011 to score the single run by which the Braves beat the Indians. 1-0.

Will Hal-ridge, president of the American League, when shown the pictures, only smiled and said:

"Officially he's safe."

Hank Greenberg, Cleveland vlce president. said:

"These pictures certainly prove a point; there‘ll be a lot. of con- troversy about them."

No baseball game ever has ‘been reversed on the strength of photo- graphs and Indian ofliclals made it. plain no protest is either planned or possible under baseball rules.

Series llotcs

BOSTON, Oct. 6—(AP)-- Man- ager Lou Boudreuu of the Cleve- land Indians said his players had voted 34 full World Series shares during a pre-game meeting in the dressing room.

"I think the boys have pretty generous." he said. It was reported unofficially that Satchcll Paige, the elongated Nego pitcher, and Sammy Zoldak, both of whom joined the club in mid-season, received full shares.

The Series odds on Cleveland dropped to 2 to 3 today after Bos- ton's victory in the first game. Betting Commissioner James J. Carroll, in St. Louis. quoted 2 to It on Cleveland and 13 to 10 on Bos- ton. That moans that you could lakc Cleveland and put. up $3 to win $2, or take Boston and get $13 against your $10.

The oft-postponed City Buse- ball League playoff game between

Anchors and Rovers ran into an- other snag yesterday afternoon when the scheduled tilt had to be called of‘! when the Rovers proved unable to field a complete team Fans who were present were keen- ly disappointed and the two man- agers. McCabe and Whalen got together and worked out. a plan that may well work out to the best interests of both sides. I 0 I

Originally calling for a best of five series, it has now been changed to a. best of three affair and with the Anchors with a game 1n hand it, could be that the series will wind up on Sunday the tentative date set for the next. clash. Should Rovers win. a third

and final game would be neces-

sary.

The move we believe was the best one that, could be taken. The season ls getting along rapidly and with that there ls a resultant lack of interest. There seems to be no point in engaging in a long dra/wn out affair when a shorter one could conclude matters just as satisfactorily and it is to be sincerely hoped that with fine weather prevailing Sunday's game will be played as scheduled. o u o That will mean a doubleheader bill for the weekend as a sudden- death game for the Island intcr- mediate “B" title is scheduled for the Memorial Field. Wellington are winners in Prince County while Montague and Georgetown are battling it out for the King's County crown. The City League playofi’ game therefore will get un- derway at 1 o'clock in order to allow plenty of time for both games to be finished. I I I

The underdogs Boston Braves. playing great baseball all the way and turning back the earlythreat- cnlng gestures of their opponents. yesterday came through with a thrilling l-O victory over Cleve- land Indians in the opening game of the World series. and it must have been an encounter that had drama loaded on every pitch. o u o

It was also a heartbreaking de- feat for ~Bobby Feller, the losers‘ hurler. The big Iowa fanm boy who had been the butt of much criticism in the middle of the season when he refused to play in the all-star game. made a glorious comeback in the latter part. of the season to play n big part. in the Indians’ drive to the pennant. Yesterdav he was at. his greatest again as he tossed a two- hitter but as it. turned out if. wasn't good eriough;

Bravos came through some jit- tery momcnts behind the smart hurling of Sain their ace and tihcn when the opportunity presented itself had the ability to drive in the winning run. Billy South- worth's crew will have gained a lot. of added respect by their vic- tory and it could be that this 1943 series will turn into one of the most thrill packed of all times. especially if the hurlers dominate the picture like Feller and Suin did yesterday ‘afternoon. . -

Sunday Sport 0n The Increase Across Canada

_By Jack Sullivan

Canadian Pzess Staff Writer Organized Sunday sport, apart. from the well-to-do’: Sabbath Day yachting, sailing and round of golf. has caught on across Canada. Quebec leads with its sky-ls- lhe-limlt. policy where anything goes-Jrom pitching horseshoes to harness horse racing.

A Dominion-wide Canadian Press survey shows that, in many sections Sunday sport. is accepted. In a few areas. particularly in Ontario and New Brunswick, the Sabbath is observed more in accordance with the Lord's Day Act.

With the exception of Toronto. notorious by gags about. its pur- ported purity. and Oshawa and Niagara Falls, cities and towns in the no-organlzed - sports category aren't clamo:ing—-ut least publicly for a new deal.

Alderman Allan Lamport, one- time football. hockey and track star. has yelled loudly for Toronto to shake off its Sunday Rip,Vsn Winkle existence and indulge in organized sport. amateur or pro- fessional. His motion to put the question before a. vote of the people in the Jan. 1 civic elections was killed by city council.

This summer the Dominion Gov- ernment amended the act author- izing provincial attorneys-general to empower deputies with the right to authorize prosecutions under the statute. Previously. consent from the attorney-general alone was necessary.

Here's the situation parts of Canada:

All. and any, sports-amateur or professionaL-are given‘ their head in Quebec. Sunday racing is con- fined to harness events with the regular pari-mutuel system in operation.
