YANKS’ OUTFIELD HOLOS ADVANTAGE Hitting And Throwing Oil Ruth And .Vleusel (live New 1 ork Slight Edge (I' P Staff Correspondent) Nev. York. Sept 30. — Since the tIUO.UOO muff of Fied Snodgrass in wot Id's series, the importance of the outfield in a short series has been The muff made by Snodgrass shows not only the calamity that can result from a misjudged or muffed play, but it goes to prove that, like Peck s case in the er.v I 1..-I year, even the dead liest tty chaser and most accurate fielders cannot be depended upon al There isn’t a great difference be tween the outfielders of the National and Anierii an league champions, »-x ceptitii: at hat the Yankee trio is mote experienced. If Babe Ruth had a reputation as a world’s series star, the Yankees would have all the edge But since he made In pitching record in a world’s erie: with the Boston Red Sox he has been very much of a bust. Despite a lame ankle, on which he • is hobbling, there are many who think tha: in this season of startling form ( reversals, the Babe will emerge as the big hero. The Yankee outfield has one dis , fine: advantage in throwing. There is no arm in baseball to compare witl , B.b Meusel's for distance and few ( can compare with the Babe's for ac . curacy. By reason of his arm his terrific hitting and his courage. Meuse! hathe edge over Blades and Hafey. will lack his class and his exp< rience There is one thing, however, tha can’t be figured. Meuse 1 doesn't always feel in the mood. If he get pepped up, he may be the star of the series if he feels lazy he may be the big boob. In Centerfield. Combs, one of the fastest fielders in baseball and a speedy- base runner, has only that or. lioutbit. Combs is notoriously weak as a thrower and lie is uu; as danger ous at the bat as bouthit and he ma: be outplayed in the series. He. ause the Babe is the Babe, right ; field lia to be given to the Yankees « Billy Southworth played some wonder ful baseball after John McGraw sen • him from the Giants to the Cards but 1 he li.ou t tin it mos the Babe or the I hitting of the Babe and he can t field [I any better. ■ There comes that question again ■ however, how will Babe nlav in the - I seem to have a light advantage be * . ruse of he hitting and throwing of | the Babe and Bob Meusel ■ HOOSIER PUNTS ■ I afayette.—Classes were to be dis : mis red t his afternoon at Purdue Uni j versify for the student body to march 0 to the train and give the Boiletmak | er eleven a rousing "send-off as the J men stait east for the Navy game.

■1 — - The Fourth Down By x Willie Punt _ The Yellow Jackets were put through a lengthy and d ligent workout Wednesday evening in preparation for the game at Columbia City, Friday afternoon. Considerable improvement has been made by thv Yellow Jackets, but the team, is a whole, lacks determination and fight. Unless the spirit of the players undergoes a marked change between now and Friday, the Columbia City players likely will I be eating bacon Friday night. "Bluffton, although defeated 25 to ■1 at Goshen last Saturday, is jubilant over the prospect of winning some games this season You see. that touchdown was the first thpi has been scored by a Bluffton high school eleven since football was reintroduced four long years ago. We do not believe that Bluffton will be able to defeat Central of Fort Wayne this week but the Tigers should take De caiur and one or two others into camp this season.” —Crowds on the Sidelines, Huntington. There's a challenge, gang. Has the reputation of the Decatur Yellow Jackets on the gridiron dwindled to that? Have the teams, fans and sport writers in neighboring towns. who once feared the mighty Yellow Jackets. come to think of you as easy marks? We believe not. in general. but surely, your stock must be dropping in their estimation. Its time for action. Bring back that lost or waning prestige. Fight, in practice and in games.

Hornsbv To Carry Out Ihing Wish Os Hi' Mother And I’lav In Biy Series New York, Sept. 30—(United Press)—The dying wish of Rog- ' ers Hornsby's mother will be carried out. The young leader of the St. Louis Cardinals, whom he led to victory this year in their first -successful race for the National League pennant, will lead them into the world series here Saturday afternoon while his mother's , funeral is delayed until his team can spare him to go to Austin, Tex., to attend the services. "Stay and win," was his mother's last message to Rogers. "It's going to be hard,” he said . “but she wanted me to stay and I've decided to carry out her withes. I had a telegram from the folks. They want me to stick it out.” So the young man—he's hardly 30—will play in the world series by request. Get the Habit Trade at Home, it Pays
