They tore up the skipper's present contract, which ran until 1948, and gave him a new one- which Club President Lou Perini said would bring Southworth "in excess ofs $200,000" during its life. Perini called the new contract con-tract the "biggest any manager of the Braves ever was given. The Braves finished in third place during the 1947 pennant race. The new contract differs from the old in that It contains no 1 nus clause based on the position posi-tion in the league attained by the Braves. There was such a provision pro-vision in the old pact.

The Redskins have scored 42 points in two tilts and the Cougars have produced 71 tally marks In three contests. The . big difference is in. the caliber of opposition faced and Utah has only met one really tough team Oregon State. Canny old Ike Armstrong has already broken out a fresh batch of crying towels and started the annual cry of "Were all banged up here key men lost in all po sitions, but the cry of "won is beginning to lose its appeal through repitition. On' the other hand, the Cougars, who are going about their drills in a very business-like fashion, will be in possibly better con dition than any time this year barring injury in practice this week. The Cougar mental attitude, which took a nose-dive last week following the tragic death of teammate Larry Reed, is on the upswing again. However, it will take touchdowns, not condition and attitude, if the Cats expect to upset Utah for the second win in the 23-year old grid warfare. - Last week . the Cats showed ability to gain beaucoup yards along the ground, then, with a touchdown seemingly right in their hands, would take to the airlanes. This week, there is a growing suspicion that the Cat quarterbacks quarter-backs had better mix 'em up, but good, for Utah has a rock- ribbed line and a better than average pass defense. If you don't believe it, as Lon Stiner,of Oregon Ore-gon State.

Ofiverson and Bruce Osborne are sure to cause the Utes lots of trouble. The only thing worrying Kim ball is how to stop Brothers Nelson. Ficklin, Tate, Summer-hays Summer-hays and so on from giving BYU even more trouble than the aforementioned Cougars are giv ing tne utes. - Archaeologists exploring the Missouri river valley in South Dakota have found evidences of a pre-Aricara Indian culture.

Supplying your demand for Budweiser has required us to build private pri-vate railroad yards bigger than the terminal facilities of many major cities. Although we are producing and shipping more Budweiser than ever before, it is scarce because more people are demanding it than ever before. They demand it because every drop of Budweiser contains the quality that over the years has made it the most popular beer in history. Meanwhile, we are distributing Budweiser equitably to thousands of dealers throughout America. It seems that people no longer ask for beer... they ask for Budweiser. TiU XL EUSER-DU8CXI...ST. LOUIS WITH GOOD TASTE... EVERYWHERE Stormy Petrel Quits Baseball After Big Game NEW YORK, Oct 7 (U.PJ Iceland Ice-land Stanford (Larry) MacPhail, one of the most riotous and colorful color-ful figures In baseball for the last two decades, was out of the game today after resigning as president of the world champion New York Yankees. The 37-year-old red-head executive ex-ecutive bowed out as Yankee head yesterday, making his announcement announce-ment just as the Yanks completed thelrworld series victory over the BrooklynDodgers. "That's my retirement," shouted shout-ed MacPhail, as theradio in the Yankees' dressing rooniblared news of the seventh game's finalj putout. "And I'm not kidding," said the man who formerly headed head-ed the Cincinnati Reds and the Dodgers, and who played the lre- most role in the introduction of night baseball to the mtjor leagues. MacPhail said' he was quitting because "I want to quit" and added, "my wife has been wanting me to do this for some time." Long a stormy petrel, who has been in and out of hot water with Baseball Commissioner A. B (Happy) Chandler on several occasions, oc-casions, MacPhail denied tha his retirement had been provoke-i by Chandler. "No," he said in response to a question on the subject, "I'm just quitting because I'm tired tnat's all.". "I have no future plans," he said, "excepts to return to my farm in Belair. Md., and take it easy. You saw all of -the 75,000 people whooping and yelling out there today. I guess the happiest one of all was my wife. She has been wanting me to do this for some time." When Dodger President Branch Rickey was informed of Mac-Phail's Mac-Phail's words he said, perhaps facetiously, "I'm going back to my Maryland farm, too," a reference to his farm near Chestertown, Md. The inference was that Rickey doubted MacPhail's retirement would last longer than until the start of the next baseball season. MacPhail Tangles With Ex-Aide; One Black Eye NEW YORK. Oct. 7 (U.R) Larry MacPhail, retiring president presi-dent of the New' York Yankees, tangled in a washroom fight last night with John McDonald, Mac Phail s aide when both were with the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York World-Telegram said-today. in a front page story by JLes-ter JLes-ter Bromberg, the WorW-Tele- gram said that McDonald suffer ed a black eye. . . The argument, according to Bromberg, was over the merits of Branch Rickey, who succeeded succeed-ed MacPhail as boss of the Dodgers Dodg-ers when the fiery red-head entered en-tered the army at the 6tart of the war. . i a Strangely enough. Brombere said, McDonald was defending Rickey, even though the latter tired him shortly after taking over. The scene of the fight, accord ing to the story, was a washroom on the 19th floor of the Biltmore hotel, where the Yankees were holding a victory celebration.

Shriver's Provo's Finest Store for Men 8.95 Minor League Refugee, 1$ Hero of Final Series Game By LEO II. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 7 (U.R) A good-looking lad from Cherry Valley, Pa., who on May 29 was one pitch away from the minor leagues, won the world series for the New York Yankees. The hero was 30-year-old Joe Pare, who as a rookie had shone, faded, then shone arain with the Yankees, and who was just about to be let jro after a long opell of ineffective in-effective last spring. Page, a strapping left-hander, came in yesterday against the Brooklyn Dodgers and retired 13 batters in order as New York won the seventh and deciding game of the world series, 5 to 2 at Yankee stadium. At that time all the fans were thinking about was whether he would be able to stop the re surgent Brooklyns who had risen off the floor so often before , to make the world series a classic instead of a farce. And all that Page was thinking aoout was "blowing them in. Admittedly a fast ball .relief pitcner, who may well be the first of the rescue corps hurlers in nisiory io win me "mosi vaiuaoie player award." Page said that he threw only two pitches that weren t fast ones. "I gave pinch-hitter Gil Hodges a curve in the seventh and he fouled it off, then he struck out.' He said "in the ninth with Dixie Walker up, I let him have a slider and he hit it to George btirnweiss for an infield out. The rest of the time I was lust iwin' mem in. Pagesat quietly in the hilarious Yankee (iissing room. He was remembering, when everyone else had forgotten, that had he not produced in a relief assignment against the Red Sox on May 26, he would have been sent down to the minor leagues. There were things to rememberno remem-berno matter how long the time may go as world series games are played nor how often the fan in the grandstand may sit and look upon future" classics, hoping for something to top this one.
