CUBS NEED A HOUDINI NOW FOR ONE WIN Says Pearson Looks Too Tough For Clay Bryant, Cubs By Harry Ferguson. United Press Sports Editor Aboard the World Series Special En Route to New York, Oct. 7. — tU.fi> —The traveling circus called the world series rolled eastward today to open in New York tomorrow. If there is a magician in any of the sideshow tents. Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs would like to hire him to pull a spark of victory out of the ashes of defeat. For only a magician can save the Cubs now, preferably one with a low, snaky curve who can keep that ball down where the NewYork Yankees can't blast it out of the park. The swaggering, cocky Yankees go into the friendly home territory today, leading the Cubs two games to none in the series and swearing that they will make , it four straight. Tomorrow, in Yankee stadium, manager Joe McCarthy sends Monte Pearson against the Cubs. Monte Pearson, who threw a no hit game this season. Monte Pearson who. when he is right, comes close to being as effective a pitcher as there is in baseball. For the Cubs, all their hopes and a thhi chance al the winners' share of the series ride on Clay Bryant, a youngster who will try to do a Job too big for Bill Lee and Dizzie Dean. Bryant throws smoke and it is said that there is nothing the Yankees love better than a chance to dig their spikes in and tee off against a fast ball slinger. So it looks dark for Mr. Bryant and the rest of the Cubs. They lost a 6 to 3 heartbreaker yesterday, back there in Wrigley Field, when old Dizzy Dean plucked his heart out and threw it up to the plate but couldn't turn the tide. For seven innings of as good a ball game as you will ever see, old Diz lifted his dead right arm and comin it tided the stoutly Wiiios anu waves of the Yankees to stand still. And the winds and the waves obeyed, heaven only knows why. for all Diz had out there was a prayer and an old brown glove. But in the eighth inning, the waves rolled and the winds roared. Frankie Crosetti arched a ball toward the left field wall and it cleared the bricks by the narrow margin of a yard, giving the Yankees two runs and sending them out in front of the ball game. Diz tnrged a' tn- bill of his blue cap and stayed in there and pitched, though, and it was not until the ninth that the hurricane blew him out of Wrigley Field Henrich, on the strength of a neat single, was on first base and up there at the plate waving a big yellow bat was 195 pounds of dynamite named Di Maggio. Up went old Diz’ dead arm and in came the ball. Crack! On the street beyond the left field wall at Wrigley Field there is a yellow brick

That was the end of Diz for the afternoon, and for all anybi <!y knows today, for all time. Hartnett waved to the ball pen and latrry French came in to take up the burden. Say this for old Diz--he took it with his chin nn the air; he patted French on .he back and went on that long, ■low walk to the dugout through spplause that was louder than iny he ever heard on a winning day. So the Yankees won the second game of the series on sheer power; won it the way they are supposed to win ball games —by dynamiting •pitchers out of the box. But the measure of this great ball dull —and wasn't it Joe 1 McCarthy who called it the best : team he had ever managed?—was that they won the opening game oy playing National league baseball. tight, defensive baseball that needs only two or three runs to win a game. o Bears Need One For Little Series Title Kansas City. Oct. 7.—(U.R>—The Newark Bears needed only one more victory today to retain the minor league baseball championship. The Bears took a 3-2 lead in the "little world” series when they defeated their Kansas City “farm cousins” 6-1 last night. Joe Beggs scored his second victory in the best-bf-seven series by holding the Blues to eight well distributed hits. Newark batsmen collected but nine safeties, but they bunched them effectively, scoring two runs in fho firet ••nnlnrr nd'llp" ♦l'm' more in the tnird. Washburn. Bonham and Piechota worked for the Blues. If Newark wins tonight it will give the International league its second straight victory over the American Association, and create a 10-10 tie between the two circuits since the series began. —Q__ ■ Roumanian Said To Be 122 Dies Today Bucharest, Roumania, Oct. 7 — (UP) —Hie Hacaneatca, whose age was reputed to have been 122 years died in the village of Onceshti Giugiu today.

j PIGSKIN SPOT ON IRISH-TECH AND BIG TEN Notre Dame To Share Limelight With Other Hoosier Teams Indianapolis, Oct. 7.— <U.fi) — A question mark floated into Georgia today—one which will be answered for Hoosiers and the nation tomorrow when a grim Georgia Tech eleven gets the low-down on Notre Dame and its 52-0 debut against Kansas. If Elmer laiyden’s Irish convince , the veteran Georgians the aval anche which hit Kansas was the real McCoy, the rumor of national honors for Notre Dame will burst into a shout. Two other tests of Hoosier football strength are big ten conference battles which definitely will . shape the championship race. Purj due meets Minnesota's lumbering ! powerhouse at Minneapolis and Indiana tackles Illinois at Champaign. The Boilermakers make no bones about their chances against Minnesota,’ which already has crushed 1 Washington and Nebraska. If speed can conquer strength. Purdue has in its set of eight fleet backs enough smoke to choke the mighty Gophers. Byelene. Brock and Brown, the Boilermakers’ “three B’s”, are expected to carry most of the attack. Illinois will make or break Bo McMillin's boys. Indiana lost a tough one to Ohio State. 6-0. in the big ten opener, and another loss not only would shove the Hoosiers out of the conference picture but also might completely demoralize the great sophomore team, regarded as one of the biggest “potentials" in the country. Indiana, however, is the favorite, despite a crushing 44-7 Illini , victory over Le Pauw last week. The Hoosiers looked more impres- , give losing to the Buckeyes. Leaders in the state college con- ] ference. DePauw and Manchester, | are safe for another week because j they meet inter-sectional foes, Lawrente Tech will go to Green- j castle for a session with the Tig- , ers and Manchester takes the road . east to Buffalo. Hanover may climb to a tie with . DePauw and Manchester by halting Central Normal. In all prob- , ability, lhev will, as the game will be on the Hanover field and Nor- ( mal showed little resistance to , Ball State last week, losing 26-0. Another eastern encounter to be watched is Butler tonight against George Washington at Washing- , ton. The Bulldogs fought a valiant but losing battle with Purdue last week and should be able to prime themselves for the season’s , classic with DePauw next week. Indiana State must stop Ball State’s sophomore sensation. Jimmy Phend. one of the three leading score.’j in the state, to come through ahead at Muncie. Phend scored three touchdowns against ; Butler and Central Normal and is | shooting toward conference all-! star honors. Forty-four zeros suddenly may end if the Evansville Aces can

break their string of 11 consecutive scoreless games against Wabash. The Aces play on their home lot and face a team which has lost both of its games, so things may be on an equal footing. Franklin tackles Earlham at Richmond. The Grizzlies have the upper hand with a famous name— McCracken—romping in their backfield. McCracken led Franklin to a 14-13 win over Indiana State last week. Earlham was swamped in its opener with Manchester. St. josenn « at Valparaiso is the other conference game. Rose Poly meets McKendree, an Illinois school, at Terre Haute. 0 Today’s Sport Parade 1 ; By Henry McLemore » — 4 New York, Oct. 7—(U.fi)—The Chicago Cubs reached New York today for a very brief stay. They play the New York Yankees tomorrow and Sunday in what has been nick-named the world's series. On Sunday they must return to their homes. New York is so big and so confusing to a stranger that I thought It would be nice to prepare a guide book of the city for the benefit of the visitors from

the west. The first two games of the world's series proved that it takes only about two hours for the Yankees to dispose of the Cubs. This leaves the Chicago players with about 22 hours a day on their hands. Where should they go? What should they see? Whom should they neet? For the convenience of midwestern visitors we herewith attach a guide to what O'Henry ones called Bagdad on the »un-1-ay. The battery—This is the finest battery in the world, which should be a distinct novelty to the Cubs. Here they may study at first hand the game fish which swims upstream. The Cubs naturally should have much in common with these strange specimens The stork club —This palace of pleasure was named after a bird that stands on one leg. It should interest the Cubs because they too have only cue leg to stand on at this point. Grant's Tomb—Here Is buried the man who said he would fight it out if it took all summer and the Cubs should be interested. It will tak.t the mall winter to beat the Yankees. Empir-j State Building — On
