Seven years ago George Uhle was pitching sandlot baseball In Cleveland. Today George Uhle Is the pitching ace of the Cleveland Indians. The rise of George Uhle to sudden fame In baseball rivals the diamond fiction of Frank MerriwelL This hero of many a baseball yarn became famous because of a so-called doubletwist. He did everything but make the ball talk. While George Uhle lays claim to no double twists in his pitching repertory, American League batters will tell you he has something on every ball he pitches. His stock In trade consists of a puzzling fast ball, a sharp-breaking curve, a teasing slow ball and a deceptive change of pace. Uhle Is 25 years of age. For four years Uhle pitched for any number of amateur clubs In and around Cleve-

WORLD’S SERIES CHATTER DRIFTS OUTOFGOTHAM Fans Not Greatly Excited as Their Clubs Strive to i Clinch Pennants, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—With the Yankees unofficially "In” as the American League pennant winners and the Giants reaching the place of a logical certainty, another world’s series for New York next month seems certain. All the Yanks have to do now to win the pennant officially is to win one game or to have one of the other clubs eet the Cleveland Indians down onoe. Play-Off Not likely If the Yanks should lose all their remaining games and the Indians approach the Impossible and win every one of their starts, the two clubs would finish In a tie and a play-off would be necessary. No one, even In Cleveland, is figuring on that play-off. While facing a harder task, the Giants are reasonably safe with a lead of four games over the Cincinnati Reds and six games over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Interest Is Mild New York Is not wildly excited over the prospect of another world’s series in Manhattan and the Bronx. Lack of interest in baseball has been evident In the attendance at the two big parks since the middle of July and it is p. certainty that the big boxing season has drawn heavily upon the resources of the sporting publlo In New York. No arrangements have been made yet for the series, but It Is probable the first game will be played about I Oct. 9.

HUSTLING BLUES - OPPOSEINDIANS Pennant-Mad K. C. Wallopers Here for Four Days. The K. C. Blues today. The sluggers from Kawtown were here to open their last Indianapolis series of the season and they came with plenty of bats. The Blues were only one and onehalf games behind the leading Saints today and It can be taken for granted they will try to knock the Indians' socks loose in an effort to make a clean sweep. Baseball Is baseball, however, and the Tribesmen may do a little socking on their own account. The Hendricksmen have won four out of their last five games played and are within easy distance of fifth place. The Blues are scheduled here through Sunday. First Toot! Grid fans who have been waiting many months for the sound of the referee's whistle will hear the very first toot In the State of Indiana at Irwin Field next Saturday.
