"Old George" has kept a step ahead or the fast-going New Yorks for a week or so but with a double-header against the Athletics scheduled at the Polo Grounds todav. the Yanks were expected to win the game necessary to put an end to the ra jUin at Philadelphia Friday kept the Athletics and Hugmen idle and, figuring that the game was a goner, many fans came to the conclusion that New York had been rained into a pennant. However, President Ban Johnson of the American League ruled that the game be played and hence the double-header here °Oari Mava. he of the submarine delivery, was ready to tackle the Athletics in the pennant clinching bee today. Babe Kuth was back in the line-up. none the worse for wear, and Connie Mack rubbed his hands joyfully at tie thought of spitting a tine pot with t*-e Yankee Colonels, thanks to the fact that thousands 01 lans planned to be in at the killing. Cleveland's Indians are still in tne | American League race—by L They defeated Bed Faber and the VV hito ? Sox. 3 to 2, yesterday, Faber and Coveleskie tving up in a pitching duel. Cleveland must win her next two game* from Chicago, while New York loses two to Philadelphia and one to Boston in order to win the pennant. There lsn t much chance for the Indians. While the Yanks was battling the Athletics here, the Giants were meeting the Phillies in Quakerton —that is—some of the Giants. John McGraw and a number of hia Tery keen-eyed proteges were expected to be among those present at the Polo grounds to give the tanks the north and south. The Yanks had their scouts out, too, for the rivals are getting ready to fight it out to a finish for the winner's end of what should be the biggest money world series in history. “I played in the Chicago series of 11*06, the* only time two teams from the same city haTe won a pennant before, said John Evers last night, "and I never saw a more bitterly fought set of games. There was intense rivalry between our club and the White Sox, but it was nothing compared to the feeling among the Chicago fans. Yes, it was some series, but it won't hold a candle to this coming clash between the Yanks and Giants. Man, oh man, what a series this is going to be.” Evers said, regarding the coming series, that it looks to be one of the hardest to dope out. “Here you’ve got two ball clubs with terrific hitting power,” Evers said. “They may not be the greatest clubs that ever went into a world series, but they are without a doubt the two best clubs In the game today. They've both been getting some good pitching, and they are both full of fight and confidence Anybody who thinks he has a logical reason for picking a winner has it on me. You simply can t figure 'em with any degree of certainty, that's all.” • mm mm TIGERS AND HERCULES READY The Tigers and Hercules are all set for their scrap tomorrow at Eagles' Park (formerly Northwestern).

Local Schools Beat Strong State Teams in Football Scraps Shortridge Plays Well and Downs Elwood—Tech Wins Over Newcastle. When Manual played W&bash High School at Wabash today it was up to the Red and White to uphold the record of the Indianapolis schools, which yesterday won splendid victories over their State opponents. Shortridge upset some of the wise dopesters by taking the strong Elwood team into camp by a 7-to-0 score at Irwin field, while Tech won a hardfought game from Newcastle by a 13-to-6 count. The north side aggregation showed the results of good coaching and trimmed the heavier Elwood team by relying on straight football and working with precision a few piays that had been mastered so that each man knew exactly what to do. Shortridge deserves much credit- for the victory over Elwood, which the Saturday before had been only nosed out of beating Wabash, the State champs. Coach Julius must come in for quite a share of the praise in his team's victory. .. Kilgore, the ace of the Shortridgers, was a star, showing real football ability by his hard lino smashes that repeatedly were good for five-yard gains. In the fi‘rst period the only scoring of the contest was Kilgore’s dash from the Elwood thirty-yard line over the last white line for a touchdown. Kay kicked the goal. The game was devoid of thrills with the exception of some end runs by Lewis of Elwood. .. , . After the game Shortridge students paraded through the downtown streets waving their blue and white pennants and announcing to the doubting world that somebody was overlooking a good bet if Shortridge was being lets out of the reckoning in high school football. I,ots of mud spoiled Teeh s chances to show what the squad could do. And, besides, Newcastle spoiled a good many of the Green and White plays, which did not hav* anything to do with the mud at all. Jolly of Newcastle appeared to be the best man on the field. He was a bear on defense and his long arms grabbed nearly every forward pass that was successful for his team. Technical did all Its scoring In the first half, counting once in th* first quarter on a march down the field with Geiger and Harvey carrying tha ball, and again in the second period by the same method. liar vey made the first touchdown and Geiger the second. Zoilner kicked the first goal and missed th# second. Geiger looked mightv good, seeming to know how to pick a hole In h<s off-tackle smashes. Newcastle scored In the third period when the team opened up with some successful passes. The most sensational plav of the game was Jolly’s f.fty-yard run to the Tech fifteen-yard line after receiving a pass from Lawrence. Another short pass was successful and the ball was shoved over on the last down with only inches to spare. Technical looked like by far the smoother working machine, Newcastle plavlng ragged football at times. The mud hindered both teams and made fast football Impossible. Tech missed Nipper in the backfield.

Ball Players Not Alone in Worshipping Dollars, Declares Home Run King

Babe Ruth Is willing to admit that ball players are strong for "commercialized” baseball to the point of getting what they think Is their fair share, in the way of salaries, from tha receipts of the gate, and the average tall player is pretty mush Bolshevist on that point, but the Babe says a little incident In Louisville started him to thinking along a nsw line as regards the money end of it. The Yankees played an exhibition game in Louisville and the Babe, as the big noise, was the center of attraction, of course. He gave the usual amount of time to visiting a s hool for boys, talked to them in the way they like, extolling the idea of playing ball to win for the sake of winning, admonishing them to always plav fair and square, etc. Then Ruth went to the ball park. There was more or less introducing and butting in of bugs who hadn't been introduced, all of whom wished to meet Babe Kuth. Up comes one guy, crowds his way to the fore and says: “Mr. Kuth, will you shake hands with meJ” "tMire." said the Babe. When the man had released Babe from bis fond grip he cocked one eye and said, with a smirk of satisfaction: “Well, I come a hundred miles Just to see you and shake your hand. I always wanted to shake hands with a man who made $50,000 a year, and now I've done it. I guess I'll be willing to go back home and tell the folks of my town about it." Babe Kuth is pretty young, but he has an appreciation of values. “That seemed to be all that guy had In mind,” he said ".Tust thinking about the money 1 make, or he thinks I make Re kon If I'd given him an autographed bull he'd peddled If around the pawn shops or put It up at auction to see what he could realize on it. And then they talk about us ball players being money mad "Tt BUY" HOWARD SHOWS I F, * GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY,

MANY MANAGERS WOULD PREFER GIANTS’ OUTFIELD TO Y ANKS’ —BUT THEN THERE’S B. RUTH

BY HENRY FARRELL, United Press, Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Oct. I.— Recollecting the SIO,OOO inuff of Fred Snodgrass several years back it is easy to get the importance of an outfield in a world’s series. Cleveland's outfield -work In the classic last fall was largely instrumental in causing the downfall of the Brooklyn Rubins. This year’s outer defense of the Giants and Yankees will be of double importance because of the prospect of lot of long, hard hitting in the coming Bevies. Figuring defensive work, the outfield of the Giants is superior to the second wall of the Y'anks. Emil Meusel, George Burns and Ross Young are an easier working, more reliable combination than the Y'anks. On the offense, the Yankee gardeners may bo -better than the National Leaguers. Any trio including Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel is bound to be a powerful combination —when they are hitting. In right field “Pep” Young, the little

Giant, has it sll over Bob Meusel in fielding his position. Young can play balls off the right fi&d wall better than any gardener in the league. Meusel is woefully weak near the wall and as all the games are to be played on the Polo grounds, the wail play is bound to be highly important. Meusal's clouting gives him tha advantage. Meusel is batting .327 while Young has an average of .321. In tho center field there Is little comparison. The Giants have it by a wide margin. The Yankeefs newcomer Elmer Miller, is weak at the bat where George Burns is always dangerous. Left field goc-g to the Yankees because of the pFeseuce of the great Babe Ruth. The greatest hitter in the game, Ruth Is also a better fielder than he is generally regarded as being. "Irish” Meusel, t-lio Giants’ left fielder, is also a heavy hitter, but his fielding is no* good enough to overcome the disadvantage that Ruth'* stick puts him under. Many managers would favor the Giant outfield in preference to tne Yankees on account of Its steadiness, its defensive ability and its consistent hitting.

Tho all Indianapolis team players will be chosen, with the following points In mind: Natural ability at the game: the season's record of tho player a* a member of the team to which he belongs; the ability and wlll.ognees of the player to work for the success of the team at tho cost of individual success. Four additional players above the actual eleven will be chosen in all fairness, because iu some cases the selection of someone player cannot be made without undue hardship upon some other player whose record entitles him to equal rewurd.

CE^P&ASON Game Today and Twin Card Sunday Marks Wind-up for Indians. Games ever the week-end will wind up the present season at Washington Park and all over tha American Association. The Kansas City Blues are the farewtll attraction here, and they will engage the Indians iu a single contest today and a double-header Sunday in the curtain program. Having reached the first as the schedule nears Its close, the Indians meant to do their mightiest in an effort to finish in the select company. The chances for the Tribe clinging to fourth place are splendid, because the club really has been playing some high-class baseball recently. In tha series oppener with the K. C. heavy hitters yesterday the Tribesmen won, 8 to 5, with Rogge opposing Baumgartner on the mound. Rogge was in good form and owuld have scored a more decisive win had his support been better. However, he had fine encouragement from the bat of Ralph Shinner3, who poled two terrific home runs over the left field fence. It was a gala batting day for Ralph and he certainly socked the ball, thereby winning the ball game and numerous articles of haberdashery for himself. Five of the Indians’ eight runs were driven in by Shinners, which Is regular Babe Ruth stuff. As Shinners Is booked to go to the New York Giants next spring those two homers yesterday doubtless brought smiles to the face of John McGraw when he read the American Association box scores this morning. Bunny Brief, home run king of the American Association, Is here with the Blues, but he had to take off his hat yesterday when he saw Shinners shoot the pellet out of the lot twice.

Illinois Central System Holds Railroading Is as Attractive Now as Ever Right now, when optimism in all branches of industry is needed more than ever before, we regret to note an unorganized hut none the less effective effort to make railway work appear unattractive to our young men. Non-railway men have expressed discouraging views, and even some railway officers have lent their opinions to this unprogressive effort. For the most part, fortunately, these views are merely opinions without a statistic in support. Vie, of the Illinois Central System, do not subscribe to these pessimistic opinions in any single particular. We believe—indeed, we know—that the presect-day complexity of railway organization demands men better trained and more resourceful than ever before, and that opportunities for advancement, to the right men, are as good as they ever were. There is danger, however, that, although unfavorable opinions of railway work are false, constant reiteration may result in their acceptance as fact, and some promising young railway men may be side-tracked into other missions of less benefit to themselves and to the public. Any 1 usiness is largely what you make it. Railway men should point oat how attractive their business really is. What other present-day businesses have greater romance, better compensation and swifter chances for advancement than railroading? .These three factors—opportunity, compensation, adventure —are the ledestones that draw young men today as truly as they did their fathers twenty, thirty or forty years ago. What has railroading lost in these respects that other businesses have gained? As construction of new lines, with consequent opening of new territory, has almost ceased, perhaps some of the romance has faded out of railroading. The day of the empire builder is past. But have other businesses fared better? What competing industry has more adventure, even today? Only on the frontiers of civilization, which have crept far outside our immediate problem, will you find the great adventures again —and out there, the chances are, you will find the railroader, next to the soldier perhaps, the envied man. Tn place of the old frontiers we have something far more productive of opportunities for service—a large population busy in the further development of our country. Tn this development the railroads play a part of tremendous importance, for business of every kind is dependent upon adequate transportation. Tn providing that transportation at minimum cost and at the same time improving and enlarging the transportation plant, to keep it abreast with the country’s growth, the present-day railway man has a problem bigger than his grandfather and his fat her, faced in the days of pioneer railroading, and he is better paid. But how about advancemept ? Has a young man in railway work a chance as good as those in other lines? Will merit find its own place at the top? We believe no other business offers better opportunity for advancement to the young man who insists upon advancement. Inertia won’t push him to the top any more today than it would forty years ago, but bis boss’ .job is always just in front of him, and the pursuit is still the same old game. The young men who are now coming along in railway service don’t know mnea about the conditions that prevailed a generation ago, and we doubt that many of them care. All that u young man who has the right kind of stuff in him is concerned about is the problem of tackling the task confronting him today, and he doesn’t care a rap about how somebody did the job before. He has bis own future to carve —and many young railway men are carving theirs rapidly today. For example, of the official positions on the Illinois Central System, 85 are held by men less than 30 years of age, 122 are held by men between 30 and 35 years of age, and 213 are held by men between 35 and 40 years of age. Three of the executive positions are held by men less than 40 years of age. This proves that opportunity still exists in the railway business. The best man will seize it, as be always did and always will. The same effort wins in railway work as in other lines, and the final rewards compare favorably with those iu most competing industries. The editor of an important newspaper wrote the other day: “Thero is no more interesting calling than that of railroading. It is a man’s game, and next to our own we esteem it as a vocation of less' monotony and more adventure than any other.” This is a competent outsider’s opinion of the railway business. While we do not agree with the exception he made, we believe it is otherwise a correct opinion. Moreover, we believe it would be conducive to the good of the railroads if similar opinions were adopted and expressed more frequently. We believe the contrary viewpoint is erroneous, and its adoption tjry many of our citizens would be detrimental to the railroads ag well as to the public welfare. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. tff|§§ 0. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.
