EXPERTS PICK PITTSBURGH AS GRID FAVORITE — Panthers Have Marked Up Four Smashing Triumphs New York. Oct. IS — (U.PJ I Uneasy rests the h-ad that wears a football crown but the Pittsburgh Panthers, mythical national champions of 193* and tile pick of this year's eastern teams, scorn the pitfalls that wreck ordinary clubs as they roll on to greater gridiron triumphs. Heading into their fifth game of the season, the Panthers look like they might be the greatest team not only of the east but of the nation. They have crushed West Virginia. Temple. Duquesne and Wisconsin with consummate’ ease. Ahead are S. M. U., Fordham. Carnegie Tech. Nebraska, Penn State and Duke. An unbeaten season would stamp Pitt as the years wonder team. In swamping hitherto unbeaten Wisconsin last week. 26-6, Pitt j emphasized once again its tre- ■ mendous power attack, in which Dr. Jock Sutherland gets more blockers ahead of the ball carrier than any coach of the day. Power ahead of the ball is Dr. Sutherland's credo and with runners like Goldberg. Cassiano. Stebbins and C'hickerneo charging behind devastating blocking that means

The only two serious dissenters are Dartmouth and Syracuse. Dartmouth, featuring a trio of brilliant backs in Bill Hutchinson. Bob MacLeod and Colby Howe, showed its class by spotting Brown a touchdown last Saturday and then crushing, the Bruins. 34-13. Having prev-. iously smacked down Princeton. 22-0, Dartmouth looked even stronger after the Nassau Tigers upset unbeaten Penn. 13-0. The weak spots iu Dartmouth's schedule mitigates against the Green Indians' national championship hopes.

IS.—<U.R/ —Harold <Piel Traynor has been retain ed as manager of the Pittsburgh National league baseball nub for 1939 at a “sizeable increase in salary." President William E. Benswanger announced today. Traynor, whose club faltered in the last days of the pennant race and was nosed out by the Chicago Cubs, returned his signed contract to the Pirate office today. The contract was mailed from Traynor's home in Brookville, Ind. The contract is for one year. Financial terms were not revealed but Benswanger admitted Traynor's salary was higher than last season. "We feel, and other baseball men of the country also feel, that manager TrayndT did a good job in 1598,” Benswanger said. “It was only an unfortunate break that prevented him from winning the pennant." In four full seasons as manager. Traynor's Pirates have never finished out of the first division. Twice they finished fourth, and once each in second and third place.

TENNIS PLAYER ASKSSIOOiOOO Don Budge Uncertain W hether To Accept $75,000 Off er I I Oakland. Cal., Oct. 18,— (U.P.) Whether Don Budge, world's amateur tennis champion, will turn professional for 176,000 or hold out for SIOO,OOO remained undecided ; today. Budge said he had received an offer from Jack Harris. ClfTcago promoter, guaranteeing him $75.000 and a "liberal percentage" for a 1939 professional tour. Harris said the offer was the best he could make under the circumstances "despite the fact that Budge may be the greatest attrne- ■ lion in the history of tennis." "If Budge has he box office ap- j peal he thinks and I believe —he I possesses." Harris said, "he may make that $100,000." But the Oakland redhead, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Budge, apparently couldn't make up his I mind. "I have been thinking it over and 1 may accept it." he said. “But I may hold out for SIOO,OOO. I thought I'd like $100,000." Budge has been resting at his parents' home after winning the singles championships of England, America. Australia and France. His father is a printer, moderately | ; well-to-do. o < Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore New York.

"For the first minute of the first round wjjile , he still remembers all he knows and has not been forced to start thinking." Johnson says. “Louis is the finest piece of fighting machinery the ring ever saw. But ho can forget faster and get into more trouble by trying to think than any heavyweight I ever saw-." My far western operative, who . airmails me at least one respectable rumor a week, says that if Southern California gives up Howard Jones at the end of this season, his successor probably will be Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern or Bernie Biermann of Minnesota . . And my Philadelphia operative who is as cracked as the Liberty heii, reports that Pop Warner is just about ready to retire and that Andy Kerr, the hocuspocus man of Colugate, will take over his job ... if this change does take place Andy will leave a whale of a squad, one that figures to he as tough as anything in the east in 1939 . . .

The Brooklyn baseball fans may be daffy, but they remain true to the favorites . . . When Hack Wilson made his debut as a master of ceremonies in a flatbush beer joint the other night the fans all but tore the doors off getting in to welcome him. Tony Galento, the bear that walks like a man, has completely recovered from his battle with pneumonia and has returned to training . . . Why wouldn't it be a good idea, to lighten the armor now worn by football players? The present day equipment is so heavy and unyielding that it inflicts terrific punishment when its wearer bangs into an opponent ... To be struck by it on unprotected areas is tantamount to being blackjacked ... I don't blame Don Budge for demanding SIOO,OOO to turn professional . . .
