CROWDS PACK SHIRE PARK AT AN EARLY HOUR Thousands In Line As Gates Open For Big Series Opener riLllailt'lp'.la, Pa.. Oct. I—(UP1 —(UP) — T4w World Series, which is as mucii a pari of the American scene at the Rocky Mountains or Tammany Hall broke full panoplied today upon the old Quaker City of Philadelphia. People came here —and some ot them stayed up all night—to see the Philadelphia Athletics of Cornelius Mcriilli -tidily and the St. Louis Cardinals of Gabby Street decide which could play the hette: game of baseball. Over the country where the game may be watched for nothing at couuless bulletin boards there seems to be no end of interest. But th> so-called "economic depression’ made itself felt at Shtbe , ark where the first game will be’ played today. Tickets in sets of six] or w hich speculators had an ask-1 ing price of S2OO a year ago, went . begging for SSO. The management of the Athletics had to get busy | with a telephone campaign yester- ■ day afternoon to dispose of some | SB,OOO tickets left by fans who had | ordered them but could not pay for j them. The outstanding event today will he the presence of President HocI ver - Mr. Hoover is scheduled to arrive with four members of his cabinet and approximately 44 other men of prominence at 1 p. in. Next in importance to Mr. Hoover perhaps, rank a group of fans who are willing to sit up all night to see a ten dollar ball game for a dollar. They are those in the head of the t bleacher.line and will be the first ' to buy from the assortment of 2. I ftoo bleacher tickets which were to ! be offered for sale at the box office • this morning. Pirst in the bleacher line one finds Bill Sullivan, of Philadelphia. Bill arrived outside the ticket office Friday night and has been t ere since excepting for two hours on Sunday which he spent in the poI'ce station while trying to explain charges of disorderly conduct. Bill j explained that the policeman had ] been drinking. Close behind Sullivan is William i Bowers, of Kent. lowa, who drove ] here fn his flivver and parked it ] near Shibe park at six A. M. today.' fi >ie predicts victory for the Athletics by the weight of Bing Miller s war club. He and Bing are fellow j townsmen. Then came Joe Snyder of St. | I ouis. who thinks that the Cards can’t be beat. • The first woman in line was Es- I ther Anderson of Rockford, 11l who came w’jth her husband, Byron. They take turns upholding the post- j tion of the Anderson family in the ] I.loaches line. She is 22 and a con- j siderahile decoration to the sur- ; rounding landscape. Behind the Andersons stood Bob Joseph of Chicago who said he walked 500 miles to get here and will . t’.iy his ticket with a dollar given I him by a woman in Pittsburgh. Albert Rocusky came the great- | est distance, having started from I Tonopah. Nev., where he mined with his own pick and shovel to earn money for his ticket. Weather Good Shibe Park.

PURDUE READY j ' FOR FIRST FOE Lafayette, Ind., Oct 1-—With the I 4 husky Baylor crew billed for the i season's opener here Saturday aud the all-important clash with Mlcnl--4 gan at Ann Arbor that will start the first round of Purdue’s title defense on the schedule for the foilowing Saturday, Coach Noble Kizer intends to continue intensity > drills throughout this week in an ct I fort to apply a little victory polish ! to the Boilermakers' attack. Baylor served notice on the grid * iron world Saturday that it was ready to take on Purdue when it soundly trounced Denton 32 to (» ■ and lived up to the title favorite . predictions of Southwest Confer- , ence sports writers. while Michigan I is being keyed to the limit for the Purdue tilt In an effort to secure revenge for the 30 to 16 trimming of last season that started the Boilermakers on their march. Although the Boilermakers wet ' distinctly ragged in spots in their annual tilt with the yearlings Satur- ' day, a lot of potential offensive power was uncovered in running up ia 70 to 0 victory. Several backfield combinations that give nromise of lev eloping into a 1930 edition o' j The Four Riverters" took to their aeels neatly for long gains and also managed to be effective when they ,ook to the air. Ed Risk, fighting for a halfback assignment, has developed into a | . apable forward passer, while How-1 ard Kissler one of the smallest ] backs on the squad, surprise devet. j the coaches with his hard driving power. In addition to Risk and Kessel, James Purvis, a chunky ball carrier who delights in reeling cut- ; backs, and Lewis Pope, a fighting i Inver and kicker, are making the. I htlfback battle interesting, and the final choice is apt to hinge on the ' Hoiking and forward pass defense i if the candidates. Alex Yunevlch, fullback who scored three touchdowns against Michigan last season In less than ten minutes of play, and Jack White quarter back, the remains of the Four Riveters” will both be pernaner.t fixtures in the backfield. >■■■■■ ■ "■ 1 [| — d- ’ liMSL I /fiTixia i i] The great time of the year lias arrived. Football and baseball are overlapping aud if you don't like one you can take the other. o()o— I The Cards and Athletics meet today at Philadelphia for the world championship. Betting ' odds favor the Athletics to win I the series. Much depends on the first game, especially for the Cards. If Gabby Street's National league outfit can beat the Mackmen the first game, the Cards will have an excel lent chance to win. —oOo— Up at Chicago, the Cubs and White Sox start their annual city series. Malone and Lyons will op- ' pose each other on the mound. The ‘ White Sox finished far down in the 1 American League, but they’ve had 1 a habit all year of playing a week 1 of good baseball now and then. 1 —oOo— If this is one of the big weeks for the Sox they’|l make it plenty tough for the Cubs. Otherwise the Cubs, with Rogers Hornsby as manager should win handily. —oOo— College football gets away in earnest Saturday. All tne big teams of the nation play. 1 While most of the champion- 1 ship caliber teams play easy opponents there are several good games carded. —oOo— Among the games which will be of interest here are: Carnegie Tech vs. Thiel at Pittsburgh. Last year the former won, 26-0. Holy Cros vs. Providence at Worcester. Last year’s score favored Holy Cross, 14-6. Illinois vs. lowa State and Urbana. The two teams did not meet last year. Michigan vs. Michigan State at Ann Arber. Last year Michigan won, 17-0. Minnesota vs. Vanderbilt at Minneapolis. Minnesota won last year by a score of 15-6. Northwestern vs. Tulane at Evanston. Ohio State vs. Indiana at Columbus. The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie last year. Notre Dame vs. Southern Methodist at South Bend. Purdue vs. Baylor at Lafayette. —oOo-— Bluffton meets Central of Fort Wayne Saturday and from all information at hand, Bluffton should win by a couple of touchdowns. I Decatur meets North Side ot>

These two boys are likely to give football players of Northwestern and Chicago plenty of trouble next Saturday. Jerry Dalrymple (left), all-southern end, is >ne of the bulwarks of the Tulane team, which opens the Northwestern season at Dyche Stadium Saturday,October 4. and Fred Scbaum (right), a big sophomore halfback and end at Ripon, will see action against th • .Maroons at Stagg Field the same day.

! Port Wayne li re Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. North Side will enter the game favored to win. There's no reason in the world, however, for North Side winning the game. The Yellow Jackets look b:tter every night. —oOo—- — the regulars ran back, five touchdowns from kickoffs, in, a practice game with the second team and the Jackets won, 50-0. —oOo — The line yesterday was Musser at center; Parrish and Zerkle at tackles; Hurst and Ford at guards and Melchi and Coffee, ends. The backfield included Brown. | Deßolt. Odle and Steele. Every man in the backfield scored. —oOo— Coach Horton has finally managed to cultivate six good , backfield men. They are all i about equal in defense and all have lots of offensive power. —oOo — New plays ruled again in the Tuesday practice and Coach Horton has several plays, which look impossible to stop. —oOo — Yellow Jackets, the odds are i a little against you Saturday. The fans won't be disappointed if you manage to hold North Side, but Footbawls will be badly disappointed if you don't go out there Saturday and win. There's nothing to stop you—; there’s not a line in Indiana strong-1 er and heavier. The Decatur back-i field is good—every man of you 1 can gain ground—get the necessary ' feeling of confidence —Don't go out' there trying to hold the Redskins even —Go out TO WIN. —oOo-— We just can't see how big horses like Zerkle, Musser, Ford, Parrish, Hurst, Roop, Bosse and Saunders can let anyone trample them down. Let’s have the biggest crowd out there Saturday that ever saw a football game here. —oOo — How about the Junior Band, Mr. Rice. —oOo — There were a score or more fans out to practice last night, and all were of the opinion that barring injuries the Jackets have an excellent chance Saturday. DECATUR, BEAT NORTH SIDE. —oOo — This would be a perfect week if the Cards, Cubs, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame and the Yellow Jackets were victorious. —oOo — DECATUR, BEAT NORTH SIDE.

I. U. GRIDMEN ORILL FOR TILT — I Bloomington. Ind., Oct. I—Judg-' Ing from the outcome of the Ohio . State—Mt.
