Adv.) man who coached Alabama to one of football’s most’ spectacular rec- ords, died last night. Death resulted from a heart ail- ment which forced him to give up coaching in 1947 and to surrender his duties as athletic direetor in early 1952, ; He had re-entered a Tuscaloosa hospital 10 days ago. Thomas believed that football games were won on the playing field and not in dressing rooms. He refused ing halftime, but was a stickler for detail and hard work in practices and for all-out effort during a game. His policy paid off. During his 15 years as boss of the Crimson Tide, Thomas saw his teams win 115 games, lose 24 and tie 7. He carried his team to three Rose Bowl games and to Cotton, Orange and Sugar Bowl appearances. His bowl record was 4-2, Perhaps his most famous team was that of 1934, one of his four un- defeated squads. This powerhouse, featuring the passing combination of Dixie Howell to Don Hutson, whipped Stanford and its crushing ground attack 29-13 on Jan. 1, 1935. Thomas, who was 55, often said that victory was his greatest foot- bail thrill, as a coach or player. Born in Muncie, Ind., Thomas prepared for his "Bama career by playing at Western State Normal College, Kalamazou, Mich., and at Notre Dame, where he was quar- terback under the immortal Knute Rockne in 1920-22. Upon graduating from Notre Dame, he went to Georgia as back- field coach in 1923. Two years later he became head coach at Chattanooga, returned to Georgia in 1929 and remained there until 1931 when he took over at Alabama, NO DOWN PAYMENT v\ Added To Woes Of FIL Monday By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS You may add a balky lighting system to the Florida International League’s other troubles. Miami Beach and St. Petersburg were all set for a game last night but floodlights at the Saints’ park wouldn’t turn on. Electricians got some of the lights on while 800 fans waited for the game to start, but decided a cable was out and it would take several hours to make repairs. The fans went home and the teams scheduled a double- header for tonight. West Palm Beach whipped Tal- lahassee 5-3 although the Indians “got only five hits off Walter (Monk) Stevens, The Indians also committed five errors. With two out in the fifth, Gene Stewart doubled to score Severino Mendez and Gene Harvey. Then Mack Meeks homered over the right field wall to sew up: the game.

Miss Kirby’s first-round oppo- nent was Mrs. George Miller of Monroe, La., who qualified with an 84.

DeLand and Orlando are tied for second place, five games behind the leader. Meantime, the picture for or- ganized baseball brightened in Lakeland which has threatened to quit the league at the'end of this week because of poor attendance. Frank Jones, Lakeland presi- dent, had said unless $4,000 is raised in the next few days the club would have to surrender its franchise. He reported yesterday sev Pledges from fans and promises of increased ticket sales. “Tt appears the citizens of Lake- land desire to keep baseball here,” he said. “The picture looks a lot brighter.” Jacksonville Beach went into the ninth inning with fourth - place Lakeland last night trailing 6-5. Lyn Henry tied it up on a single, RO then Roy Nixon got a safety scor-| 194° provid ing Henry.

Aftér trying it out twice out of | towm-with great success, the In-| dians played the new version for| thethome folks for the first time | last *fight and left ’em limp. This one is. a real thriller. The| storyline is a direct switch from | last spring when the Indians played the meek little lambs being led regularly to slaughter by the big bad Yankees. The 1954 script casts the Indians in the-role of the hero who cuts; the “complacent” Yankees down to. size. In the three showings so far the! “actors”? have shown great versa- tility, The first time, in New York, the Thitians left the thrills for the curtain call, scoring five runs in the 19th inning for a 9-4 triumph. The next day, still in New York, the Indians showed the Saturday matinee crowd their muscles and came off with a 10-2 victory. The: version unveiled in Cleve- land last night topped anything $0 | far. Most of the action was jammed into the first act, but the suspense continued right through to the-final curtain as the Indians won 8-7. Clevéland spotted the Yankee three ‘funs, then roared back with seven before the New Yorkers could é& anybody out in the home half ‘the first inning. Umpire Bill Symmers thumbed Yogi Berra and ten Casey Stengel from the| game during the uprising. With seven runs home, Jim He-| gan on third, nobody out and Whitey Ford and Bob Kuzava shelled’from the mound, in came Yankee rookie Bob Grim. The ieee promptly started pitching a no-hitter. Hegan got home on a sacrifice fly, but one after another Grim fooled the In- dians clubbers until Wally West- lake finally broke the spell with a single “the start of the fifth. Meanwhile, the Yankees cut their 8-3 deficit to 8-5 after two in-| nings and 8-7 after three. At this point Don Mossi checked them. Cer got only one more hit, a hart is single by Al Smith in the seventh. The Yankees, though, IZEN Tuesday, May 11, 1954 Indians Get New Script Writer put two on in the eighth and Mike | Garcia replaced Mossi. Garcia weathered the eighth without further damage only to have Charley Silvera walk and Gene Woodling single with one out in the ninth. But Eddie Robinson popped up and Gil McDougald lofted a long fly to Dave Philley for the final out. Philley poled a grand slam home run over the left field fence in the first inning. The Cleveland-New York show ' goes on again tonight in Cleveland. Only one other major league game was played last night. The Baltimore Orioles rallied for four |ninth-inning runs and shaded the Philadelphia Athletics 7-6. The run total was the highest for the Orioles this season. A pair of walks, singles by Bob Young and Gil Coan, a double by Dick Kryhoski and a sacrifice fly by Sam Mele provided the runs Baltimore needed to overcome a 6-3 Philadelphia lead. Kryhoski got another double and a single during the chilly evening and drove in four runs. Bob Trice, last of three Athletics’ pitchers, was charged with his sec- ond defeat in two days. The vic- tory went to Howie Fox, who took over after seven for starter Don Larsen. When sodium vapor is burned it produces a bright yellow flame.
