PARTISANSHIP IS MISSING IN WORLD SERIES Tense Spirit Is Absent From Present Series At Philadelphia Philadelphia. Oct. 12 -JU.R) The 1929 world series, remarkable because of the generally uninspired performance of the players and Inexplicable apathy on the part of the fans, was resumed here today with the Philadelphia Athletics leading the Chicago Cubs two games to one. A courageous pitching effort of lanky Guy Rush and a timely recovey of a missing batting eye by Klki Cuyler had put the Cubs, winners in the third game by the score of 3 to 1. within striking distance of evening up the series, and the National League chamj| ons went out| today determined to do so. But somehow’, for all that, the spirit of Mudville is missing. There has l>een nothing to remind one of the prodigious ambition and spectacular collapse of the immortal Casey, nor do the fans of Philadelphia hang breathlees on the every move of their heroes in the pinches. These fans do not even break down ami weep when their ball club blows up., The tense spirit, of partisanship I which characterized the game in the I days when mighty Casey went to bat for Mudville is nowhere to be found. Being ambitions money players, of course, the Chicago Cubs will be out there this afternoon, fighting to even the count. The Athletics, presumably will try to deal their National League rivals another of those telling blows which all hnt put the Cubs down for the count in the opening games at ( Chicago. Connie Mack, tasting the sting of defeat for the first time in the ser I les, was trying to think up another, of those spectacular surprises such' as the one with which he crossed the I Cubs by sending Howard Ehmke in to i pitch and win the first game. The Mackmen did not show to advantage in their first appearance before their own fans yesterday. Jimmy | Foxx, the versatile first baseman, i who was the hitting hero of the games in Chicago, couldn’t bat a ball. out of the infield. Al Simmons went ; hitless. Jimmy Dykes, most popular | of the whole lot with the Shibepark I fans, had the misfortune to contribute the misplay which helped along the three run Chicago rally in the sixth inning. That rally was featured by timely hits by Rogers Hornsby and Kiki Cuyler, who. in a measure, thus redeemed themselves for earlier errors of omission. But it was the lion-hearted work of Guy Bush, the soft spoken, drawing Missis-aippian, who pitched himself and his ball club to victory despite constant, trouble. Which was most re-1 sponsible for the Cubs’ first victory | of the series, which also was the first' achieved by a National League con- j tender in three successive years of world series play. Not only are the Cubs decidedlv better off mathematically as a result of winning the third game, but they should prove a vastly improved lva.ll club with the encouragement they received from their victory. The spell is broken. They have proved that they are not destined for any such devastating defeat as overtook Pittsburgh in 1927 and the St. Louis Cardinals in 1928. They have a fair chance of coming through now to win the 1929 world series. If they go down, it won’t be with a coat of whitewash.

SCALPERS HAVE LITTLE SUCCESS Phlladalphia, Oct. 12 (UP)—-The bottom has fallen' out of the World , Series market around here and If it , didn't have sentimental associations you could probably buy Shlbe park for ( a song thyming "Sedate'’ and ‘’something I ate." The Athletics made their first home town appearance as world series money players in 15 years Yesterday and the occasion was attended by all the wild public rejoicing that usually marks theopeuing of the Oyster season. There was no bleacher line today to fool the innocent writers in town into believing that something really was up Yesterday this, and the 1,300 highly excited gentlemen who milled around the entrances shortly before game lime, was generally accepted as a token of great things inside. But it turned out to be the old side show added attraction racket. Once inside, the 29.000 fans who parted their coat tails wets too embarrassed by the polite atmosphere to become chummy? And the 1,300 gentlemen outside wete found to be excited because they* were ticket-scalpers who hud paid full prices for tickets and were suddenly awaie that instead of obtaining S3O each for them they would be lucky to sell for cash at $1.50 the ducat. A wild rumor went around last night that as many as 7,500 persons had been refused admission to the sacred stamping grounds of the Elephants because they had bought counterfeit tickets. It was finally reduced to an estimated 150 unfortunate turned away a: the turnstiles on the ground that the Federal stamp showed their ticket had been in the hands of scalpers The woe of these unfortunates was not lessened by the fact that oth-r scalpers were offering the tickets for the equivalent of two hot dogs and a bottle of pop. or four sacks of damp peanuts. Dm a s which had brought the Shibe park management $5.50 several weeks ago, as a matter of fact were gong begging at $1.50. There was no indication that today would be any pleasanter for the ticket-shaving gent- . y since apparently all the fans who came yesterday were there to see Giaham McNanee btoadcast instead of a I rough ball game, and Mr. McNamee is | not what is knowiras a two-d.ty attrac-1 ticn. except over the air. Prices on foof-top locations in 20th ; treet. back of the centerfield fence.. had dropped to $5 asking early today At this time 24 hours ago they were firumly held at $lO a place a foot. The Colossal lethargy of the fans forced i the miiket down to $1 and $2 on roof; sea s yesterday. Opening quotations! today w ere higher but the statement . was distinctly bearish, with a sharp I break expected at any time. Q — Friday’s Football Scores ♦ — ♦ Colleges Detroit. 21; Tulsa. 6.

J 1 1 ' xJJ And we’tc still picking the CUBS And we still think all N. E. I. officials rhou d carry rule books v hen officiating any high school athletic event. Anil we believe that Decatur, Indiana and Purdue will win football games today. The Kirkland-Monmouth baseball game was called off Friday afternoon, because of wet weather. If Monmouth defeats Kirkland the Haggardmen will go into a tie with Monroe for first place in the league standing. in event of a tie in all probabilities, a three-game play-off series will b; played in Deca ur. Monmouth and Monroe appear to be evenly matched and his series should draw a big crowd and a lot of interest. Dick Miller, “self-styled expert” in high school football diagnosing selected a lot of star Indiana football teams n his Friday's predictions and after ra’ling these half dozen h gh schoo: earns the cream of state, he went or. to give a list of games —And not once did the above n’amed sport critic menion the FORT WAYNE CENTRAL team. And there hasn’t been a team come within 30 or 40 paints of beating .hf Tigers. Foo bawls hates to take exception to an article by such an ‘‘expert’’ but we feel sure hat Central could beat and beat badly any high school football earn in the state. Coach Max Kidd is working a new line-up at Portland today in the Lopes of s'rengthening both the offense and defense of the Jacketmen. Several reg ulars are on the bench and probabilities are that if the scrubs make a good i showing today—they’ll remain on the lineup for the rest of the season. A’ready about 100 season tickets fcr ‘he Catholic high school's home not games have been sold. The new seating arrangement is such that about JCO fans are assured of a good seat. And from all predictions everyone will want a good seat for the Commodore games this year. Pat Hyland, Irish Plumber, football, basketball and ba.-eball official, or what have you, dropped in today to tell us tha" after seeing the first two games the Cabs d id not have a chance—Footbawls thanked Pat for h encouragement —but you can’t arrest a man for thinking. We haven’t beard much about what’s | going on out at Jefferson bus we'd make a little bet that the boys out

| there are doing a lot of talking and thinking basketball —and they always I have a good net team when the time rolls aiound. Pete in the Bluffton News is some swell figurer. Bluffton hasn’t won a too ball game this season—still the i Tigers are figuring on finishing well I in the standing. Kendallville forefeited I its game—giving the Tigers one winI Huntington dropped out of the conference, giving the Tigers win number 2 I —Bluffton and Auburn played a tie (game- and so Pete says if “Bluffton I wins from Garre t. Portland and Deca tur. the old school will finish well : up it! the standing. — Wet. ra ny weather greeted football | players all cver*lndiana and the mid die west today—we wish now we hac bet on some “m'.d horses.” The wet weather may handicap Pin due some because of the speedy backfield on which the Boilermakers depend- bit they should he godd enough at al! odds to make it plenty tough sot the Wolverines. Over at Ohio State the odds seem t< fivor lowa which necessitates much ilibi-ing from “Doc" Roller—On we' days like this these 10 second men urn into 10-minute men. And we're still picking the Cubs. . ■— —O Michigan And Purdue Clash At Ross-Ade Bowl Lafayette. Ind., Oct. 12.—(U.R>—Speed ■ on foot and a fine aerial attack were ’ Purdue’s main reliances today as the team prepared to meet the heavier Michigan aggregation which is one of the four favor ties to win the west- • ern conference title. Rated as one of the Big Ten “dark 1 horses,” Purdue has primed for two i weeks for this game against the Wolverines and, despite the fact that Michigan is a heavy favorite, the ' Boilermaker supporters refused to - concede the Ann Arbor team the edge. 1 These Igifayette people think Pest 1 Welch and Glen Harmeson can show enough speed to outmaneuver that Wolverine team which has been called the heaviest which ever represent- ’ ed Michgan in football. Michigan's 1 line averages a 12-pound advantage over the Boilermakers.

PRESSCOMMENT [I ANNOYS HOOVER I MacDonald Hoover Talks ( Are Subject Os Many Interpretations Washington. Oct'. 12.—(U.R)—neHults of Primo Minister MacDonald's visit to Washington have entered the per- ' iod of interpretation which already 1 has produced sharp annoyance In the 1 capital. The statement jointly Issued by I President Hoover and MacDonald was the product of several minds and dozen blue pencils. Cabinet officers, their assistants and members of thi British party helped the president and the prime minister in shaping the document to the form in which it finally was made public. There was no great satisfaction with it but it was made public as a last resort because nothing better could be produced at this time. Secre.ary of State Stimson and oth-j ers have informally explained it was, impossible to set down in cold type a‘ detailed exposition of the Hoover-Mac-, ixinald conversations. But the gentle-] men concerned in the drafting were under the impression they had con-' coded a bombproof paper which would ' not become the basis of unwelcome' misinterpretation. The disappointment with which Mr. Hoover’s assistants learned otherwise was indicated by the quick resentment of Secretary of State Stimson to publish reports that the two statesmen had agreed to pool their navies to maintain peace. Stimson's clarifying denial came within a week of the statement's publication. Tv.en.y-four hours after the joint declaration appeared, state department officials here compelled informally to I challenge published Interpretations of' the Hoover-MacDonald meeting which; suggested the naval program had been sold out to the League of Nations which, it was argued, would have final jut Isdiction over naval reduction. Mr. Hooter is understood here to have been the obstacle to inclusion! of more definite declarations in the joint statement. Several draft paragraphs were blue pencilled by. the: president, in clinging to generalities to the exclusion of ietlnite state
