z. '■“[ The Fourth Down BY WILLIE PUNT We're mighty glad the world's ser ies is over. However, we're sorry Walter Johnson failed in his effort to join the select group of twirlers who . have won three games iff a world’s series, and we’re sorry that Roger Peckenpaugh, a baseball idol who was voted the most valuable player in the major leagues this year, failed in I the critical moments afjd earned the I title of the "goaf’ of the series. On the other hand, we have praise for the Pittsburgh youngsters. It won't ( be long until some of them may be idols —and some of them are near it now —and. who knows, they may come out of a world's series, crushed and heartbroken, just as Johnson and Peck. In the words of W. F. Fox, Jr., who started his column “A corner in pigskin," in the Indianapolis News yesterday, “baseball may be our national pasttime but it is 1 past time for it now." I Wi.h baseball out of the way. we can now give oui undivided attention ! to the great game, football. And by 1 the way, there are quite a few high 1 class battles on the card for tomorrow. ' I In our own back yard, the Yellow 1 Jacket?, will tangle with Columbia 1 City. We still have our hunch that the Yellow Jackets will break into the win column. We wish to acknowledge the receipt of a neatly bound book containing the schedule of every high school basketball team in Wells county, from Out of Bounds, of the Bluffton Banner. Thanks, Outta. Out of Bounds started his basketball column yesterday. The Bluffton Tigers start their net schedule on Nov. 6 with Petroleum. Two games will be played before the football team closes its season. The first two games will be played by athletes not members of the football squad. 1 We are picking: Purdue to beat Rose Poly; Syracuse to beat Indiana; Minnesota to beat Wabash; Butler to beat Franklin; Michigan to beat Wisconsin; Chicago to beat Northwestern; lowa to beat Illinois; Columbia to beai Ohio State; Army to beat Notre Dame. BEAT COLUMBIA CITY! o 1 “Pigskin” Is Called Terrible Misnomer For A Football Chicago. Oct 16— (United Press)--More than a month in advance of its national conventiorf here the publicity department of the American Leather Producers today swung ! .ito action with this announcement: "Pigskin, as a synonym for football, is a terrible misnomer. Footballs are made of cowhide.” The announcement says, however, that the lowly pig had a lot to do with jthe football in its infancy. The first I football was made of a pig's bladder, letter it was inceased in the hide of a p‘g to make it more durable. i But that was in the days when the I sturdy lads of Devonshire punted their

BIC GRID GAMES HOLD INTEREST Three Big Ten Contests And Two Intersectional Contests In Spot Light By Edward C Derr (V. P. Staff Correspondent) Chicago. Oct. 15.—Interest of mid-1 dlewesteru football fans tomorrow will | be centered in three Big Ten games of almost equal importance, three intersectional games, and one strictly eastern engagement which will have a bearing on later intersectional struggles. Illinois, with a line that has been shownig improvement and is now believed capable of opening some big holes for Red Grange, goes to lowa City to engage the tough Hawkeyes. If lowa can do as well as Nebraska did in stopping Grange, the Ulni will be cut ct the Big Ten race. Michigan Plays Wisconsin Michigan travels to Madison, Wis., to meet Coach George Little s promising Badger squad. The Wolverines showed a powerful attack last week in defeating Indiana 63 to 0, but should find the going rougher against Wisconsin, which has been picked by many as the likely title contender. Coach Stagg s Maroons go to battle against the greatly improved Northwestern team in the annual football “city series." It will be a contest between the straight line attack of the Maroons and the open formatoins of the wildcats. Northwestern is given an even chance of winning. East Meets West Two Big Ten teams take on eastern elevens, Ohio State meeting Columbia at Columbus ami Indiana engaging Syracuse at Bloomington. Unless the dope is a long way off, both eastern teams should win. The other intersectional game that is drawing middlewestern attention is the annua INotre Dame-Army struggle in .New York, it will be the first serious test for Rockne's revamped Irish and should go a long way toward determining the strength of the 1925 squad. The Yale-Pennsylvania game at New Haven will be watched with more than passing interest because both Chicago and Illinois are to meet Penn alter in the season and fans are anxious to know the sterntgh of this year's Penn team. The remaining members of the Big Ten engage in so-called practice games. Minnesota taking on Wabash College at Minneapolis and Purdug doing battle against Rose Poly at Lafay- ■ ette.

United Press Staff Correspondent) Pittsburgh. Pa, Oct. 16—In near stygian darkness, idols of baseball were shattered as the Pittsburgh Pirates won the deciding game of the world's series and became world's champions of 1925. On a sea of mud. beneath dripping skies that were lit with a baleful yellow glare from the steel factories along the Monangahela Pittsburgh bats cracked the pedestals erected Tor the heroes of our national game — and turned what might have been an epic of baseball into a tragic travesty) Pittsburgh Fans Celebrate I Last night and until an early hour | today. PUsburgh fans, amidst the I hooting of automobile horns in the 'Jammed streets, the blare of horns and impromptu bands, danced a frenzied bacchanale of victory. His greying head bowed on his massive chest. Walter Johnson, a broken, but a respected idol of the game, rode back to Washington with | the comrades who tried their best to cheer lum. "Barney” was not the only idol among the Senators who needed cheering as the team sped back to the capital to disband for the winter. Peckinpaugh Hides Away Roger Peckinpaugh, voted the most valuable player in the American league this season, attempted to hide away after the game. Peck contributed two costly errors in the game which Pittsburgh won, 9 to 7. yesterday, bringing his total of hobbles tc eight for tko series, .» record. y There was a moment in the eighth inning with the score tied, when it seemed as thonfrh Peck' has lifted himself from the throes of goatdom to the heights of heroism. Roger followed up an expensive misplay an inning earlier by smashing out a home run into the left field stands which put the Senators in the lead and looked to have the game won.

I But the gods of darkness who were directing the destinies of the eigh- i teen men who flounced through the nr're of Forbes field, willed otherwise and five minutes later the Washington shortstop had made another error which cost his team the game, the Championship, the glory and the prize money. Goose Goslin. the great Washing; ton slugger, who had made three home runs in the series, failed to try hard enough for a long drive close to the jutting edge of the left field boxes and his failure helped lose the game- Goslin also suffered the ignominy ct striking out in the ninth when his team was behind. Oldham fanned him for the final putout of the game. How to stop BOILS! There’s only one way to stop boils. Stop the cause of boils! That’s common sense—isn’t it? All right.

PIRATES' VICTORY ■ NOT MN ON LUCK I. — i New Worlds Champions ■ Demonstrated Superiority Over Senators By Henry U Farrell (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Pittsburgh, la.. Oct 16.—Last year when the Washington Senators won • the world's baseball series from the New York Giants, it was said that the better team did not win. The breaks —two balls that took a freakish bound over the head of 19-year-old Freddie Lindstrom, the Giant third baseman. tied the score and then won the game in the final game of the series. I The victory of the Senators over the I Giants in 1924. even to the most fervent admirers of the American league champions, could have been attribut- > ed to luck. Bin — There can be no question, this bleak, gray morning in Pittsburgh with its , traditional threat of rain, that the Pittsburgh Pirates are a better ball club than the Washington Senators. No Factor Os Luck There was no factor of luck in the i victory that the young, hustling, hards hitting Pirates secored over an older . and more, experienced Washington team in the final game of the world's series yesterday. ' It was hustling and hitting, poise in the pinch and nerve in the pitcher's box that enabled the Pirates, famed ‘ once for their lack of courage, to win baseball's championship ) ••• There were occasions in the early games of the series when the Pirates seemed lazy both of limb and brain, when Buck Harris was making himself look more like a manager than Bill McKechuie and when the Senators looked like a cinch in the bands of Walter Johnson. Team Starts Hitting But, Fred clarke, that grand old hero, the manager of the Pittsburgh champions in 1909, who came back to ' the club this year, wrote for the United Press: "Wait until our boys start hitting." ’ Fred Clarke's boys started hitting I in the fifth game and they kept hitI ting until Goose Goslin. the world's series home run record hitter, had 1 stood in the rain and daze of a terrible afternoon and with his bat on shoulder, allowed the third strike to go past him for the last out of a hecI ’ tic series. Old Barney Johnson went out to win his third victory of the series and he was in trouble from the very start. ’ His fast ball worked well in the semidarkness until the ball got wet and then he lost his control. The Pirates started after him then ( and did plenty. It must have been a I sentimental pulse in the heart of Bucky Harris that prompted him to leave the old veteran in the box when

the peanut butchers tn the stands knew that he was through. it must have been the same sentiment in Harris that made him leave Stan Covehskle in lhe box in the sixth game when even his own players knew that Covey had nothing. The wise minds of hasebkll today charged Harris with the loss of the world's series because be would not j relieve Covey und Johnson in time to take a chance on a relief pitcher The worst handicap the Senators ( had to carry was the feebibe playing ( of Roger Peckinpaugh. their shortstop. Peck, who was voted the most valuable player in the American league for 1925. blundered eight times ami' most of his errors were vital. His two errors in yesterday s game helped the Pirates to win. His home run was only a temporary penance. The Pirate outfield outshone the J veteran Washington outfield, the Pl-J rate infield outsteadled and outstarred i the Senator’s infield and the Pirate pitching staff outlasted the Senator' sass- and Washington bad most of the! breaks. There was the weather against Johnson in the final game —but the Pittsburgh pitchers had to use the ball just as wet and just as tricky. The series broke all records for receipts.
