I CARDS' PILOT I IMPLORES MEN I for base hits I Yankees Are Happy As Two I Teams Journey To St. I Louis For Next Game ■ By Frank Getty I VP Sports Editor. I Enroute to St. bouts with the World El series ball chibs, Oct. 6.—(U.R>—The ■ Cards can't lost today, anyhow. I There won tbe another world series H game until tomorrow afternoon, when || Ih e National league champions resume I their thus far most distressing en gagement with the New York Yankees at Sportman's Park, St. Louis. The world series contenders, if one still admits there are two of them, were speeding westward today across Ohio, Indiana and the broad Mississippi valley with the Yanks riding high and happy on the strength of two successive victories. Hospital appurtenances and Red Cross equipment which had been prepared for the American league champions in anticipation of their collapse were simply switched over to the Cardinals special train, where they I were needed Babe Ruth and the othI er Yankee cripples sat up half the | night playing bridge and making II whoopee and talking over their I chances of winning their second conI secutive world's series in four straight ■ games. A report that diminutive I Durocher had been persuaded to try ! to rest his throwing arm in the little hammock in his upper berth was indignantly denied by the youngster I from Springfield, Mass. "Think I'm as green as that?” snortH ed Leo. “I know what that hammock j is for. Its to put your shoes in to i keep these fresh regulars from nailing them to the floor.” Baseball history doesn't insist that the team which wins the first two games shall win the world's series. The Yankees themselves know better, tor they tossed away the 1921 series after taking the first two games from the New York Giants, and they came from behind to defeat those same Giants in similar fashion two years later. Bill McKechnie, hunched up in the corner of a drawing room, dealt out criticism to his athletes in no uncertain terms. Bill ordinarily is the mildest of men. Cullen Cain, popular press representative of the National league, says that if Bill has a weakness it is that he is too kind. The time for kindness,’ 'said Mr. McKechnie, "is no more. You boys have got to get out there and make some base hits tomorrow, or I'll use the Oakland, Calif., boys club in the fourth game." the failure of "Pete” Alexander, who was knocked from the box yester day at the climax of the Yankees 9 to 3 victory, marks another of those turning points with which the national pastime, like the rest of life, inevitably must be sprinkled. Long after the fact that the St. Louis Cardinals were beaten in the second game, of the 1928 world's series is forgotten, fans will recall the sunny afternoon when old "Pete" beloved reprobate that he is, had to shuffle from the Pitching box, not only beaten, but knocked out. Alex had his day on the diamond, Just as his historical predecessor, also called "the Great” had upon the battle fields of Asia Minor. Both had to ose some day or other. Yesterday was “Pete’s" day. Mhen Bill McKechnie waved old ex to the bench in that blistering bird inning back at Yankee stadium Jesterday afternoon, 1 recalled anothet world series day, just four years BRO, when anotherxpitching hero was 'eing battered hy the New York bats“’*‘‘l That hero of 1924 was old a ter Johnson, then with the Washnglon Senators. To disgress for a moment, Walter was at the game yeser ay, jostled by departing fans, unrecognized. Four years ago, Johnson was 8 aughtered by the New York Giants 1,1 a world series game at the Polo t°unds, but Bueky Harris, manager ” !he Senators, kept Walter in the That gesture of Bucky was one of ® most ™ emorabl e in baseball. 1 1 McKechnie, of course, would ave been foolish to leave Alexander 1 ye a te rday. It would have meant, oss bly, an even worse rout. That in< of foolishness from the manager world series ball club is sufficent ee i n a a ecade But one likes to femember Bucky for it. efl s Haines will face the Yankees 'emorrow, and Jess Haines, be it remembered, beat them twice in the 6 world series.

Tom Zachary, possibly Henry Johnson, maybe Waite Hoyt again. The Yankees ate figuratively sifting atop the baseball world and Miller Huggins is astride the Yankees. The midget has the world series by the tall and whichever way he swings I is likely to be the right one. I —- 0 “— Yale’s Best a Cut-in > At Off Tackle i(l ‘ V ■ I . ■> By SOL METZGER f Years ago when Hector Cowan ran with the ball for Princeton a defensive I end, noting him take it, began yell- - ing, “Here he comes! Here he ■ comes!” Which was quickly changed > to "There he goes! There he goes;” ‘ as Cowan tore past him for another ’ touchdown. So it goes when Y’ale gets her cut- ' in-off-tackle play working smoothly, as : she did for two touchdowns against ' Harvard last fall. I can still see ■ Hammersley tearing for one of them, t a long end tun down the light side • of the field. Fine dodging or weav- ' ing plus interference that hits hard ' makes the play possible. It would ■ not surprise anyone if Y’ale used it ' for a few scores against Maine today. Every football opponent knows it. • Yet that rarely helps in stopping it. The ball is passed to No. 1, who I ' break tor the opposing right end as ■ though on a wide run. This move gives the line time to get into the interference. Backs Nos. 2 and 3 go 1 straight out and smash the defensive left end. No. 4 back helps the end ■ with the defensive left tackle. Nos. 1 7 and 8 come out from the line and No. 5 ’goes through. It takes fine ' blocking by the remaining linemen ' and a deal of speed on the part of 1 the running back to prevent the op posing linemen mussing up the play. ' That, plus fine interference, is all there is to this powerful play that has been Yale’s dependence for some years. For more than twenty years Sol Metzger has been identified with football. He has observed. In a leaflet, “Diet and Training for Football," he shows what a necessary part diet plays with success on the gridiron.

WHITE SOX WIN FROM CUBS,I3-11 — Chicago, Oct. 6. — (U.ft) —Youth has shown the way to older heads in the i city series between the Chicago Cubs and White Sox and if "old'' Urban "Red” Faber can duplicate yesterday’s feat of Ed “Young Moose” Walsh Ihe trailing Sox will tie up the series in today’s clash. In the first two games of the series, the Cubs had things pretty much their own way, so much so, in fact, that Chicago fans lost interest and only 21,024 persons were present yesterday to see the Sox outbunt the National leaguers to win a highly humorous tilt, 13 to 11. The victory makes the standings, Cubs, 2; Sox, 1. Young Walsh, the "Baby" of the Sox pitching staff and son of the famous old spitbailer who often won from the Cubs in years gone by, was credited with the victory, although he was about as helpless against the Cubs bats as were three other Sox hurlers. Wisconsin-Notre Dame Battle At Madison Madison Wis., Oct. 6—(U.R) Glen Thistlethwaite's Badgers and Knute Rockite's Notre Dante eleven will play here I his afternoon before the largest opening day crowd in Camp Randall s history. The contest is the choice gridiron attraction of the country this week and advance ticket sales indicate an attendance of 30,0000 fans. Notre Dame, despite loss of almost its entire 1927 first team and its unsatisfactory showing in last week’s victory over Loyola, is regarded as a potential contender for national championship honors, while Wisconsin, with the greatest material in years, has visions of a western conference title. Today's contest will provide the first opportunity for accurate judgment on the ability, of the two teams.

7 | GRIDIRON TEAM DESERTS SPORT FOR MATIMONV I El Paso, Texas, Oct. 6.—(U.R)—Coach "Doleful Doc" Stewart of the School of Mines, branch of the University of Texas, built a good team last year, but it had one weakness, its romantic 1 heart. Cupid made touchdown after touchdown. Six of Doc's players have discarded moleskins and pigskins. A seventh has married, but may return to the gridiron anyway. Stewart is looking for an entire team for the season of 1928. Even before the season started last year Blaine McNutt, bidding for the backfield, married Laura Pearcy of El Paso. Then halfback Lee Cherry Smith, star broken field runner, heard the signal for the eternal knot formation and was thrown for a loss by Martha Pearcy. McNutt's sister-in-law. Meanwhile, Billy Clark, tackle, got his signals crossed and rushed away to marry Eleanor Gossett of Austin. That ended the first half. Then in April, Felix Ducharme, halfback, and Alice Rodehaver of El Paso, and Buster Smith, lineman, and Lulene Crowder, also of El Paso, figured in a double pass that gained valuable yardage for Cupid. Bill Bulger, guard and tackle, married Ixtla Mae Crowder of Las Cruces, in June. Then Bill Powell, end and Freda Gibson of Monahans, were married the middle of the summer. Now “Doc” says that the next team he whips into shape will be composed entirely of bachelors who want to stay that way. —.— o Butler Bulldogs Meet Northwestern Eleven Evanston, 111., Oct. 6—(U.R) —Northwestern University will open its 1928 football season against the strong Butler Bulldogs at Dyche Stadium this afternoon. The Wildcats reserves will meet Loyola University, of Chicago in the second game of a double header. The Purple team appears stronger than the eleven which represented the Methodist institution last November. Coach Hanley will relay on two Sophomote ends and several Sophomores In his backfield to plug the holes left vacant by the graduation of Veterans. Both Butler and Loyala are expected to present spirited competition. The Indianapolis eleven lias a strong backfield and comes here accompanied by 1,000 looters who expect to see their favorite topple a big ten team o ¥¥¥¥¥¥ ** * RE ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ * * THE * * CAMPAIGN * * LOG * ¥¥¥¥¥-$ ¥¥ ¥ ¥ » * * Sf. * By United Press A statement was issued on Governor Alfred E.

WARD speaks herb: (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONK) publican glee clubs in this campaign should have in their repertoire that good old Methodist hymn. ‘The Halt Has Never Yet Been Told.’ The same is true ifi state affairs where official conduct has disgraced both state and nation. No wonder that a Republican newspaper like the Cincinnati Enquire] should suggest that the proposed statue cf Jessie James be erected on the State House grounds in Indianapolis. There has been a saturnalia of ciime and corruption in nation and in state during the past eight years such as history has never before recorded. "The government has been gradually slipping away from the people who, according to our theory of government, are to be the source and administrators of all power. Armed expeditions are now dispatched to foreign lands by the President without the knowledge or consent of Congress. Tariff rates are raised by him without Congressional intervention. And in the last eight years, according to one who has studied the question, it has been raised in every instance but one—on cannary birds. Boards and commissions have been usurping the rights cf the people. Right now the people of this section are petitioning the Federal Radio Commission not to take away the lights of the air by abolishing station WSAI at Cincinnati and reducing the service of Station WLW. The boards are even trying to take the air away from the people. "We have had a one-man government for eight years. The dominating iigure has been Andrew Melon, the third richest man in the world, the man who dictated the nomination of Herbert Hoover and who will dictate the Hoover administration in case the people, through mistake, should entrust it with power. Even Republicans like William Allen White call Mellen the personfication of Hamilton ianism’, which is another term for one man government, the government by by the rich and the well-born. “Civil service has never been so nullified as it has been in the last eight years. Offices are not distributed according to merit, but to political pull and favoritism. As seme postal employes recently remarked in this district —We don’t have any civil service any mote.’ Another way the people are losing their power is through the publis utilities. Great rjorporaticns are gradually taking over this property of the people and are raising rates continually. “The farm relief problem is also outstanding in this campaign. Farmers in this section do not know the real conditions. Two millions of farmers have abandoned the farms since 1920. In 1926 alone, 600,000 farmers left the farms. Read the speeches in the Con gressional Record made by Republicans like the late Senator Gooding, of Idaho, and Senator Capper, of Kansas. Dr. William E. Dodd, of the University ot Chicago, who is authority on history in this country, says 'The American farmer is on the way to peasantry.’ And then he proves his statement most conclusively. Farming is the life blood of this nation. The nation is slowly bleeding to death, and nothing should be spared, in money or in legislation, to save the life of the republic. The Republican doctors stand around per plexed and without a remedy. President Coolidge has vetoed two farm

hills but has never made a construe-1 tlve suggestion of a remedy. The Re publican patty stands absolutely without a solution. As former Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, Republican Senator for 18 years, says the only hope of the farmer lies with the Demo cratic party ami candidates in this campaign. "When the affairs of the nation go obviously wrong, the good sense of the people will interpose to set them right So spoke Thomas Jefferson, the greet apostle of democracy in America. If ever the affairs of the nation and state have gone wrong the events of the lt»pt eight years present the indisputable evidence. On Nov. 6 the people will be given opportunity to set right the affairs both of nation and ot state. May they take advantage of that opportunity and rescue the nation and the state from the dangers that surround them." oSECOND GAME BOX SCORE St. Louis— AB R H O A E Douthit, cf 4 0 0 2 1 0 High, 3b .... 3 0 0 0 1 0 Frisch, 2b 3 0 2 2 3 0 Bottomley, 1b 4 0 0 9 0 0 Hafey, If 4 0 0 3 0 0 Harper, rs 3 10 10 0 Wilson, c 4 115 2 0 Maranville, ss 3 112 10 Alexander, p 1 0 0 0 1 0 Mitchell, p 2 0 0 0 11 ♦Orsatti 1 0 0. 0 0 0 Totals 32 3 424 10 1 New York — AB R H O A E 1 Durst, cf 2 1 2 0 0 0 ’♦Paschal, cf 2 0 110 0 Koenig, ss 5 0 0 1 2 1 Ruth, rs 3 2 2 1 0 0 Gehrig, 1b 3 2 1 9 0 0 Meusel, If .... 3 2 1 2 0 0 Lazzeri, 2b 3 0 0 11 1 Durocher, 2b 0 0 0 0 0 0 Robertson, 3b 2 10 2 10 ♦♦♦Dugan, 3b 0 0 0 1 0 0 Bengough, c 3 119 0 0 Pipgras, p 2 0 0 0 1 0 Totals 28 9 827 5 2 ♦Batted for Mitchell in 9th. ♦♦Batted for Durst in 3rd. ♦♦♦Batted for Robertson in 7th.

October 6, 1928 DEAR FRIENDS: A lady told Mr Farr the other day that for eight years she had been doing all of her husband’s pressing and for the same eight years her husband had been helping her with the family washings each Monday. Two weeks ago he signed off on the washing deal, and new she has cancelled out on the pressing. The Farr Way is going to save her a lot of work as a result of the new arrangement. Pressing pants and coats with a flat iron on an ironing board is about zero as far as entertainment is concerned. I don't want to start anything here in Decatur but if I were a married woman I certainly wouldn’t press my husband's clothes — not when I could send them to the Decatur Laundry.
