Butler Boys Got Too Rough F'or “Fuzzy” Franklin, Ind., Oct. 8. —“The boys were too rough for me.” said Fuzzy Vandiver, Franklin college basketball, baseball and football star in commenting on the annual Franklin-But-ler football game in Indianapolis Saturday. Fuzzy just can't forget that his shirt was torn clear off his back during the fracas. “I wouldn't have cared, but it was a brand new shirt," and Fuzzy must now wear hi s old one. o SENATORS ARE FAVORITES AGAIN Betting Odds Os 8 To 5 Offered; Weak Pitching Hurts Giants (By Henry L. Farrell) New York. Oct. 8. —After a complete revival and a great rally by the Washington Senators in the fourth game the world's series was again squared today with the Senators and the Giants each holding two games. Although the two champion dubs the practically in the same position where they started, the Senators are again the favorites in the betting and odds of 8 to '5 were offered today that they would win the champion ship. Rain fell during the night but the infield at the Polo grounds is always covered with a heavy tarpaulin and the rain wasn’t heavy enough to get through. Weak pitching of the Giants blew

the fourth game and it now threatens * to blow the series. Manager McGraw has no one to start now, but Arthur Nehf and that’ star southpaw has a bruised hand that was hit by a batted ball in the first start and may not be able to work today. The Giants had figured on Nehf to start against Walter Johnson, who is sure 1 to work today for Washington. i If Nehf can't pitch ft is likely that j Jack Bentley will be sent in as it has i been passed around that the American league champions have not 'great , love for left handers. Although he did not last through

the game, George Mogridge, the j former Yankee southpaw, did the 1 Senators noble yesterday when he t and Goose Gosiin, the slugging outfielder, put the team back in the run,n>ng and squared the series. Mog- t ridge has had a aore arm for several > weeks and it went back on him in the I p ghth inning when he held the ! Giants to only three hits '1 Goose Gosiin put new heart into the I earn when he hit a homer in the’, third inning with two on. Gosiin did a 1 lot of other hitting and three Giant l pitchers couldn't stop him. Frank | Frisch robbed him of three hits in i the third game, but the Gosiin beat' the Giant star yesterday by hitting targets far removed from the great second baseman. The outstanding feature of the fourth game was the intense participation of another record crowd

of 52.0000 for the Senators. The Giants are used to hostility from the crowds, but they obviously lost spirit yesterday when the crowd showed its leaning so convincingly for the American league team. The attitude of the crowd is hard to figure. Perhaps the scandal is responsible. There was no public reference to it is Washington, where it might have been expected from 'rabid rooters, but the New York stands have recalled in loud voices several times that Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell are not with the team. Walter Johnson is almost certain to pitch todaj' and Harris said Walter would work if he didn't turn up with a sore arm over night. McGraw jsaid that he wanted to pitch Nehf. It is generally believed, however, i that Johnson will have better ]uck in his second start and McGraw may prefer to gamble on another pitcher rather than waste Nehf. So far the Giants have done a lot

of damage to the fast ball pitching of Johnson and Marberry. but they have been unable to do anything with the slow curves of Zachary and Mogridge. It was this fact that caused the Washington players to vote yesterday for Mogridge. , I The total receipts of the series so far are $6-19,201. Os this, the winning team will receive $149,036 and the losing team $99,357. If the Senators win each player will get $6,477 and if they lose each player will get $1,319. There are more, players on the Giant squad so if the ■Giants win each player will get only ■ $5,731 and if they lose $3,821.

The Fourth Down By j Willie Punt 11 - r Are you going to heat Huntington, j Yellow Jackets? You did it last year, - but if you do it next Saturday you . will have to play real football—much • better than you did against Portland. It can be done, though. Sport Comment asks Sidelines of Huntington who the Huntington I team will play next Saturday, as I Huntington's hasn’t any game schedI uled on this calendar. Wake up. Sport, that is to be a big day in Huntington. There’s going to be a big bunch of Yellvw Jackets turned loose ,'on the Kinseymen’s palying field that day and a lively battle is promised.

Bluffton tackles Garrett at Bluffton Saturday. Luck to you Bluffton. Surely those Bluffton columnists will shake off that long slumber and at least acknowledge the following bouquet handed to the Tigers by Sport Comment: “Bluffton down but never out. Some said Bluffton can take the count of nine, but never ten. A good thing to hale, that spirit I which never gives in, although some jtimes it is to no avail." | Sport also says: "Willie Punt says: A rough sea over the week end. eh Sport.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8. 1924

I next Saturday as follows: “The De- ) catur Yellow Jackets are coming to I our fair city Saturday with the best I of intentions. We know how we left ’ Decatur last year and we are hoping that the Decaturites go home feeling i the same way Saturday night. We . know that they are hard fighters from . their season record ami that they will put up a hard fight. So don't lay down, Kinseymen.” Sidelines hurles another brick at Sport Comment as follows: “We sure peeved our little friend Sport Comment of Wabash in some way or other. Now all that he hands us is bricks. List to this one written just before the Kokomo game: 'Huntington plays Kokomo Saturday. Well, all GOOD teams have setbacks.’ Thanks, Sporty, you predicted that one correctly. Now will you kindly inform the world who is going to win the remainder of the college and high school games of the state?”
