Cardinal Slugger ROGERS HORNSBY SAYS M’GRAW CLAN IS BETTER ALL-AROUND BALL CLUB Nationals Are Short on Pitching, but Fast on Bases and Have Mean Batting Eyes—McGraw Big Influence. By HEXRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 27. —Pitching being considered the biggest factor, the New York Yankees are being made the favorite to win the world’s series. Many critics were of the same opinion last year. Roger Hornsby, one of the leading players of the National League, says the Yanks will lose because the Giants have a better all-round ball club, will hit betler in the flinches and get more out of their hits on the bases.

Pract.cally every one is ready to admit that the G.ar.ts have more natural and cultivated speed than the Yankees, but if Joe Bush, Bob Shawkey, Waite Hoyt and Carl Mays have just one of them {rood days the first of the McGraw clan w II be useful in only pett.ng them back and forth to the bench. The Yanks are a better ball club than they were in the last series. Joe Dugan, at th.rd base has made anew infield and Wh.tey W.tt as a lead-off man, is a big improvement over M.ller. Babe Ruth ought to be of more assistance th.s year because he has been taking care of h.mseli lately and he will be more than an excuse to win back some of the prestige that McGraws pitchers took away from h.m last year. If the Babe should go on a big batting tear in the series the Yanks m ght take the series in straight games. While the Yanks aren't any too keen about southpaws or curve ball pitching they should not be bothered much. Nehf is the only southpaw they will have to face and they probably will have Joe Bush in there against the star Giant left hander. The Yanks have seen a lot more curve ball hurling th s year than they did last season and they ought not to be tied in a knot with the tw.sters the way they were last fall. It may be argued that the G ants will have t all over the Yanks "on the bench" and that is a big factor to consider In a short ser es. G ant supporters are backing the club just because they figure that McGraw will pull the team through.

NET OFFICIALS Ell TOGETHER ON U RULES Rumor Has It That I. H. S. A. A. Will Not Follow Changes in Regulations. The Indiana board of certified bas-ket-ball officials met Tuesday night in the library of the Board of Trade building and discussed the new net rules and talked over plans for the coming season. Among other things it was planned to meet with the high school coaches during the convention here in October and also to get together with the college authorities perhaps at the next meeting of the new Indiana conference in December. The new rules were gone over by Pat Page, yvho attended a meeting of the western conference in which the interpretations of the Big Ten were thrashed out. It was brought out that the Indiana board of officials would in no way conflict with the plans of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. which Is to form an organization of officials approved by the board of control for every- branch of sport. It was rumored that the I. H. S. A. A. was considering dlsregaiding the new rules and playing under the 1921 regulations. Playing the Field With Eddie Ash BASEBALL, fandom is waiting around this week for the Yankees to win the American League pennant. Not much interest is attached to the closing games in the various leagues otherwise. The G ants have settled it, the Saints have done likewise and the Orioles did it long ago. American League clubs have been vacationing a few days and the mathematical possibility- still exists. Everybody has given up with the exception of the mathemat.cal possibility. GIANTS stepped out and beat the Cards Tuesday just to show they are keeping in shape for the world's series. McGraw's regular line-up is all set. ritclier Haines of the Cards added dramatics to the game in the Polo Grounds Tuesday by throwing the ball over the grand stand when he was taken out of the box during a Giant rally. BUTCH HENLINE is not letting the season and e without keeping the name Henl.ne prominent in the box score summar.es. He got another homer Tuesday. DOWN went the Hens into last place. George Whitted has been re appointed manager for 1923. He’ll start next season with a whole lot to ga.n and nothing to lose. NEW HAVEN beat Baltimore Tuesday, 11 to 7, in the second game of the Eastern minor league ser es. If the Baltos don’t do better than that the Saints will knock 'em for a row of oyster beds. JAY KIRK of the Colonels crashed a homer Tuesday w.th the bases loaded off Ph 11.ps of the Millers. Jay is laying in plenty of kindling for the 1 stove league season. Bring on Senega Siki, sa ! d Harry Greb Tuesday, as he put the k. o. to A1 Benedict in the second round at Toronto. If Siki ever gets in the ring with Greb he’ll think all the ringsiders are throwing gloves at him. CARPENTIER said he made a mistake in trying to knock Siki out by bitting him on the jaw. Another mis take Georges made was in exposing his own jaw. DISCUSSION of the new basket-ball i rules already has started In Indiana I before the experts are out of the i woods in trying to assimilate the foot--1 ball rules. Did y-ou ever try to study 1 two foreign languages simultaneousJ ly? PITCHER FITZ, Tribe rookie, was ntroduced to the Saints in St. Paul Tuesday-. For four innings he had them shut out. Then the Saint punch made its appearance and the Tribe lost another game. The score was [ 5 to 3, the champions getting all their runs in the fifth inning. Mike Kelley used a mixture of vets and youngsters and the combination got the breaks the same as all Saint outfits. Four errors didn’t lose for them, despite the fact the Indians played errorless ball. A cluster of hingles in that fifth decided the issue. Fitz' hurling was not so had for a rookie because in seven of the innings the faints were held scoreless. Doug Baird got a home run in the first inning for the Tribe. The Boston Red Sox have realized their ambition. The Yanks are practically in with the pennant. Santa Claus Harry Frazee did a good job of it. i

PRINCE OF WALLS CHOSEN CAPTAIN OF GULF CLUB English Prince Goes Through Severe Test to Receive AgeOld and Precious Honors. tty United Xetrs ST. ANDREWS, Scotland. Sept. 27. — That “Bonnie Wee Laddie," the Prince of Wales, drank yvine and n.bbled cake with ceremonial solemnity with the lord provost and councillors of ancient St. Andrews recently, thus for- j mally qualifying for honors which are j beyond price. Henceforth it shall be j his right to “dry” his clothes and dig divots on the golf links of old St. Andreyvs.” the most famous course in the world, and he also rates a share of the cockles and mussels at Moutheden. The ancient civic ceremony of con- j ferring the freedom of St. An- | drews upon the Prince was one of the gayest events in the modern his j tory of the tyvelfth century royal burgh. Many Scottish and British sovereign before the Prince of Wales have received the honor, and many before him have been elected captain I of the Royal A. D. Anc.ent Golf Club, which is regarded the yvorld over as the original home of golf, an office to which he was elevated Tuesday. Many Ceremonies At Tuesday’s banquet, the citycouncillors toasted him as their youngest burgess and gave him a parchment conferr.ng the freedom of the city In ancient form. It was enclosed in a gold chest. Then the prince signed the city roll and swore to protect the ancient rights of St. Andrews forever. The ordeal for the prince comes Wednesday, yvhen he must "play himself in” from the first tee of the histor.c links with many leading golfers in his gallery and the severest critics in the world looking on—the St. Andrews' caddies.

HUGGINS AT HOME IS NO GROUCH

“Os course I’m grouchy. I’m the ! grouchiest guy in the world,” yelled Miller Hugggins, "while I’m on the ball field.” But he’s far from the individual the fan thinks he is. First, it is not grouchiness; it’s severe seriousness. “I have w-orked too hard in my day,” says Huggins. “I have gone at everything with my mind, and neglected my physical health.” But it's exactly that. A small, nervous man, who doesn't weigh much above 120, but who's always thinking. That's his hobby. Just to sit and smoke and th.nk, and think hard.

One of the largest erowds that ever witnessed boxing in Terre Ilaute filled the grand stand and ringside seats. While the Dalton-Perrill scrap was the big feature of the card, still the eight-round semi-windup between Johnny Lucas of St. Louis, ex-soldier, and Frankie Xessler of Cincinnati, former navy man, was a dandy. The boys mixed it from start to finish and it was a draw bkttle. The boxers were lightweights.
