A Scot was engaged in an argu
ment with a conductor as to whether
the fare was 25 or 30 cents. Finally,
the disgusted conductor picked up
the Scot's suitcase and tossed it off
the train just as they passed over a
bridge.

manager, who very definitely is the
greatest shortstop in the business."
Asked what he thought of Bobby
Feller, Bickford replied that Feller
was not as fast as he had been rep
resented, but did throw a curve ball
that he, Bickford, considered the
best he had` ever seen thrown.
Bickford surprised himself by go
ing into his first World Series con
test feeling as if he were just going
to •pitch an ordinary ball game. For
some reason, other than nervousness,
he lacked his usual control and was
unusually wild during his tenure on
the hill.
Bickford, who came up to the
Braves this 'season from Milwaukee
to become one of the outstanding
pitchers, in the National League, ex
hibited a baseball acumen rarely
found in pitchers as he analyzed the
Braves from the big chief down to
the little papoose batboy.
He said he couldn't disagree with
any newspaper stories describing
Manager Billy Southworth's attrib
utes as either a manager or a man,
except that he is probably even a
greater man than he has been cred
ited with being.
Bickford could find no fault with

COLLEGIAN STAFF TO
MEET THIS AFTERNOON
There will be another meeting of
the Hazleton Collegian staff this af
ternoon at four o'clock. The meet
ing will be held in room 13 in the
Walnut street building.
All members of the newspaper's
staff are urged to attend this session
in order to plan for the November 12
edition of the Collegian.
shortstop Alvin Dark who according
to him, will eventually blossom into
one of the best ever. Elliot is a good
third baseman, but he could not say
whether he rated an award as the
most valuable player in the league.
Asked if he had any preference for
a battery mate, Bickford unhesita
tingly chose Phil Masi. Masi, he said,
is as good, if not better, on defense,
than Walker Cooper of the Giants.
Bickford also expresses the opin
ion that Curt Simmons, the Phils' big
bonus pitcher, would eventually be
come a standout in the league be
cause of the poise and confidence
which he has in addition to the great
natural ability he possesses.
He did think, though, that Sim
mons would have been better pre
pared for the big time if he could
have been kept in the minors a bit
longer. Bill IMcCahan of the A's, who
had been sitting quietly during this
discourse (an unusual occurence for
him) broke into the conversation
here to add his concurrence to Bick
ford's opinion.
Cox Prefers "The Bums"
Billy Cox, rated among the best
infielders in baseball, would rather
play ball for Brooklyn, under Shot
ton, but would like to play every
day. He expressed a violent dislike
for his former manager, Leo Duro
cher, and knows the Dodgers could

FASHION FLASHBACKS
A glance in the direction of the

flared skirts are still in the swing of
things with a wide array of chic ac

bold colors and Scotch plaids. A tip

have won the pennant easily by ten
games if Shotten had been manager
from the start of the season. Carl
Furillo backs Cox up on this senti
ment.
Cox was emphatic in his declara
tion that Marty Marion is no longer
as great a shortstop as he once was.
"Brooklyn? No, the Cards."
"The Cardinals were the best team
in the National League," maintains
Ron Northey, power-hitting out
fielder, "but we just didn't get the
breaks. Kurowski and Schoendist,
along with some of our pitchers,
were out most of the season with in
juries and we still finished close."
Northey denied that the Cards
were too old and backs up the state
ment by quoting statistics that show
he is right.
Simmons Likes The Majors
Curt Simmons, the Phillies' youth
ful fireball artist, thinks that being
allowed to pitch regularly in the Na
tional League has done him more
good than harm, even if he didn't
have an impressive record for the
past season. "We have to come up
some time," he reasons, "Why not
now?"
None of his teammates resent the
bonus given him, but do kid him un
mercifully about it. They were all
friendly and willing to assist him,

but Dutch Leonard, his roommate,
probably was the greatest help. He
quotes Leonard as saying the hitters
in one league are just as dangerous
as in the other.
Simmons said he was a bit nervous
in his first major league test against
the Giants, but not because of the
crowd. He doesn't recall being awed
when he faced Johnny Mize for the
first time.
He would express no opinions con
cerning the change of managers, but
considered both Ben Chapman and
Eddie Sawyer to be smart baseball
men though they are two entirely
different personalities. One catcher is
as good as another, he thinks, and
shows no preference 'for a receiver.
Ennis Had Great Year
Del Ennis, who had the greatest
year of his career, can explain his
success to nothing more than the
fact that "it was just one of those
years when everything went right."
He wouldn't comment on the
change of managers but thought that
the loss of Emil Verban would weak
en the club considerably. However,
he thought that in a few years the
newcomers would develop into an
outstanding infield combination.
