Whiteman, who was known as "Lucky George from Peoria," was a weird hero in a weird season. That was 1918, when Secretary of War IsTcnytein Baker granted permission for .4 cur- tailed mayor league season, with the world Series slated for early September. Ed Barrow, then manager of the Red Sox, brought 36-year- old George up front Toronto just ,for the war emergency, All sea- son he saw only limited action in left field against lefthanded pitching, evcn though it was an era in which two,platooning still was a novelty. But it was Whiteman who ruined the Chicago Cubs in the Series. In the first game, a 1 to 0 win for a southpaw named George H, Ruth and called "Babe", "Lucky George" put the only run in scoring position. In the third game, Whiteman start- Ed the decisive three-run rally and then saved the contest with a Gionfriddo catch, He scored the winning run in the fourth game, and then drove home both winning runs in the fifth and final contest. Pretty fancy base- But the next spring as the Red Sox "pros" returned from service„ Whiteman drew a ticket back to the minors. Then there's the ease of Anthony Rohe. In three seasons with the Chicago White Sox of the young American League he never batted more than ,213, Thus, as those "Hitless Won- ders" went into the World Series of 1906 it was regarded as strict- ly "no contest." The opposition was Frank Chance's Cubs of Tinker-to-Ev- ers-to-Chance fame. They had won 116 games while losing only 36 for a .763 percentage, which still stands as a record. The "Hitless Wonders" were a team with a combined batting aver- age of only .228 and a club total of nine home runs 'all season. Yet the "Hitless Wonders" beat them, four games to two. And the upset can be traced to an injury to Sox shortstop George Davis, which gave the .196-hit- ting Rohe his chance. AU he did was bat .333 for the classic and win the first, and third games with resounding triples,, Still, it took practically all the hits out of his anemic bat. One year later he was back in the minor leagues for good. Young Johnny Padres, the hero of Brooklyn's World Series triumph last year, may have been lucky that he was called into service before this season started. Or, as in Beazley's case, there is a grim possibility that when he does return, he will never be the same. Because the men who walk the high road in baseball's an- nual extravaganza are a risky lot. Too many have had one glorious hour - then heart- break. And you never know whether your October hero is going to stay on the glory road or wind up a one-shot stepchild of fate, By Oscar Fraley in "The Police Gazette."

Gionfriddo went to the Brook- lyn Dodgers in May, 1947. Brooklyn sold pitchers Kirby Higbe and Cal McLish, catcher Homer Howell and shortstop Gene Mauch to the Pittsburg Pi- rates for $300,000- and the five foot, six 'inch Gionfriddo. "This must have been the mes- senger boy thrown into the deal so he could carry the money from Pittsburgh to Brociklyn," one Dodger writer kiddea. But on October 5, 1947, "Little Gi" was sent out to play left field in the sixth inning of the sixth game of the World Series against the Yankees. There were two out and two on when the mighty Joe DiMaggio rifled an apparent home run to left Gionfriddo started sprinting• back with the crack of the bat. Suddenly, right at the bullpen .gate, he whirled and leaped into the air. The ball landed in his glove, and Gionfriddo, almost falling over the fence, held it for a dazzling one-hand stab which brought a tremendous roar of applause from the gog- gle-eyed stands. It was the field- ing gem of the Series. But the following April, "Lit- tle Gi" was released to Mont- real. Despite his World Series heroics, lie had batted a puny 175 in 38 games for Brooklyn the previous season. Nor could he stick in Montreal. From there it was St. Paul, Fort Worth, Drum- mondville, Newport News, Ven- tura, California, and finally re- leased by lowly Vasalia, Cali- fornia, in 1955. Beazley, the handsome right hander of the Cardinals, was an- other who rocketed to World. Series fame, and faded just as quickly into oblivion, At the start of the 1942 cam- paign, Johnny was a rookie languishing in the bullpen, Butte when he finally got _his chance, he was a ball of fire; and as the Cardinals moved into the clas- sic against the Yankees, young Johnny was a 21-game winner with a bright future. It looked even brighter as twice in the Series he tamed •a tough team which included such stalwarte as Di-Maggio, Charley Keller, Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon, Frankie Crosetti, Red Relfe and Phil Riziuto. Beazley beat Ernie. Bonham in the second game, 4 to 3, and then won a 4 to 2 squeaker from Red Huffing to wind up the Series in the• fifth game. Then he marched off to service for three years. When he came back, Johnny had lost the touch, In 1948 he had a 7-5 mark. Arm trouble followed, and for three seasons he won a total of two games against one defeat, The Braves gave him a brief shot, and then it was the long road down -- St. Petersberg; Hartford, Nashville, Q.

They went to amazing lengths, in planning their sec- ond weddings, to wipe out me- mories of the first.. The husband bought the wife a new $750 en-. gagement ring as well as a new wedding ring. And the wife, who, was originally married in white, chose for her second wedding dress a dazzling pink and gold model, "Pink and gold are more lasting colours than white," she said, Although the husband's orig- inal wedding suit was still as new, he bought himself e a fresh. one. This time, too, the brides,- maids . were the wife's two ., plainest friends. "I intended,"e she confided, "to be by far the prettiest woman present at my re-marriage." She ,was, too!

Twenty- four hours later he had brought: the couple together again, Then he told theme "I have thought of a way whereby you can start married life all over again with all your vows un- broken, I'm going to re-marry you.

AMONP1:11 f 1tErtAL1Y' OIL elm bS Obtained at any drug store: The handsome, strapping man walked almost jauntily to. the mound. His gait was loose and easy, and he casually scanned the packed and roaring stands at Boston's hostile Fenway Park as if counting the house. Big Gene Bearden figured to be tense and tired; but he acted with the nonchalance of a man being dandled in the lap of des- tiny. One week earlier he had pitch- ed the Cleveland Indians to vic- tory in the American League's only pennant playoff. Three days earlier lie had won the third game of theWorld Series with a sparkling 2 0 shutout tri- umph over the Boston Braves. But now, in the sixth game, Bob Lemon had faltered as the Indians stood only one and two- thirds innings away from being the champions of the world; and with their lead down to one run, with only one out in the eighth, they had called Bearden from the bullpen. There was an easy smile on Big Gene's lips as he faced the batter that sunny afternoon of October 11, 1948, with a stance which seemed to say: ' "Okay, fellows, I'll take it from here!" And take it he did, setting the desperate Braves down quickly to end the eighth, 'then pitching faultlessly through the ninth to give the Indians the world championship. Gene Bearden, who won the American League's only penn- ant playoff, captured one series game and saved the finale of an- other all in one week to cap •a 20-game season, was the stickout shore of the 1948 classic. But Bearden was a one-shot hero, like so many others in the history of baseball's annual blue ribbon event! Never since then has he had a winning season. Five years later he was peddled back to the minor leagues. Last spring he tried to make the big time once again - and wound up back in the Pacific Coast League as just another shopworh hero with one flaming memory. He has a let of company - fel- lows like little Al Gionfriddo of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Johnny Beazley of the St. Louis Cardin- ale, Wilcey Moore of the New York Yankees, George White- man of the Boston Red Sox, George ,Rohe of the "Hitless Wonder" Chicago White Sox and young Floyd Giebell, who was a World Series hero while sitting Or the bench. For each of them the aftermath Was the lonesome road. • Bearden, for one, at least knows the reason. "Havee't had a drink in a year and a half,". he explained last spring as he tried to make it back to the big time. "Every- one kept saying that alcohol was the thing that was holding Me down,'so I just quit," But the old Magic- was gone, and When the Milwatikee Braves let MI-1i go, it was back to Sadie- Inetitci in the Pacific Coast League. lily inid-season, even in that tomPany, he Was.

Parliaments With Odd Nicknames It seems strange that during the present century not a single British parliament has earned it- self a nickname, remarked an M.P. the other day. Yet, delving into the past he had been amazed by the wide variety of nicknames applied to pre-1900 Parliaments. One of the most famous was Cromwell's Long Parliament which lasted from 1640 to 1653, so long in fact, that it also be- came known as the Pensioner Parliament. The shortest Parlialment in our history was nicknamed The Use- less Parliament. It was intro- duced by Charles I on June 18th, 1625, adjourned to Oxford on August 1st and dissolved on Au- gust 12th. AU lawyers• were excluded ' from the Parliament of 1404 so it became known as The-Parlia- ment of Dunces and The Un- learned Parliament, No such ruling against lawyer M.P,'s has ever been attempted since. A•Parliament with pronounced views about women in politics was known in 1367 as The Good Parliament. It compelled lovely Alice Ferrers, favourite of King Edward III, to leave the Court and take an oath never to return to the King's presence. TheM,P.s took this drastic step because of the great political power she had attained. When Henry VI assembled a Parliament at Coventry in 1459 it quickly became known as The Devil's Parliament. It earned great unpopularity by passing - bills accusing the Duke of York (afterwards Edward IV) and his supporters of high treason and depriving them of their civil rights.
