What with that 9-0 game on Saturday and the Vancouver victory last night, Rexie couldn't be feeling too good and now, we find that the town council of Brampton has waxed wrathfully indignant be- cause the St. Kitts radio an- nouncer termed Brampton a "small town," during one of the 0O.L.A. final games. Mayor R. P. Worthy of Brampton termed the remark "a deliberate insult" and "the braying of a jackass." Looks as if Rexie is "stymied" again, Bill Wether, the Reds' hot stuff at third base, has his own explana- tion of why he and Pinky Higgins, the Tigers' same, have been so busy "In g tight series like this," Bill ald, - "everybedy's so anxious that they are hitting a little ahead of he ball and that sends it down ur way." ager Bill Malai of the usually keeps his hands in hi: ckets while talking umpire? he couldn't hold them dow le arguing with Lee Ballanfe the 's' eighth over whet! 1 Averill was out at first Eve Jat got Hi lind to Oakland, Cal, Oct. 8.--Failure of club officials to give him proper support was the chief reason for the dissension of Cleveland Indians this season. Manager Oscar Vitt declar- ed yesterday when he returned home from a "nightmarish season." Vitt charged two or three dis- gruntled athletes with inspiring the player rebellion which some ob- servers believe cost the Indians the American League pennant, and which was climaxed when Bobby Feller, Indian pitching ace, and a number of teammates demande: from Club President Alva Bradle; that Vitt either cease "riding" them or quit his job, not resigned because "I'm no quit- ter."
