S CHALK Picks Yanks! to Win Coming Series •

By RAY SCHALK Famous White Sox Catcher Who will win the world series? There are a lot of people who would like to know the correct answer to that question. Will the Giants triumph over the Yankees, despite the opinion of the baseball experts tp the contrary? It Is my very humble opinion that

BUSINESS AS USUAL, BUT N. Y. REALLY IS EXCITED No Shouting as Series Nears, but Fans Show Interest Just the Same —It’s Gotham’s Way. By HENRY FARRELL, 1 nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 8. —Without any surface indications of becoming agog or anything like it, New York today was getting set for the annual world’s series between the Giants and the Yankees, starting Wednesday afternoon in the Yankee stadium.

HARD STRUGGLES AHEAD TOR GRID TEAMS OF STATE Notre Dame-Army, Butler-llli-nois and Other Features Scheduled This Week, All State college football teams get down to work in earnest this week as the hardest games of the various schedules loom. The preliminary work in all camps is over and the preparation for high-powered rivals is occupying the attention of the coaches. Next Saturday the most important game in which an Indiana team participates is the Notre Dame-Army' clash at Kbbetts Field. Brooklyn. This contest is always one of the classics of the year and although it is a little earlier than usual this season there is no sign of less interest in the annual battle. Competes With Baseball A capacity crowd is expected in spite of the fact that Just across the river In New York a World's Series baseball game will be going on. Indiana plays its first Big Ten game at Washington Park for the edification of local fans with Northwestern as its opponent. Purdue goes to lowa City to take on the beefy lowa eleven. It is a tough assignment so early. Butler faces one of Its hardest tasks of the season when the Irvington squad goes to TJrbana to play the Illinois team. The Suckers’ decisive defeat of Nebraska Saturday showed plenty of evidence of much strength. Franklin and Wabab One of the most interesting games in the State will be the Franklin and Wabash* game at Crawfordsvllle. Franklin appears strong this season, while Wabash does not seem quite up to the Little Giant standard. The Earlham and Rose game should be another good one and De Pauw’s strong aggregation tackles the Lake Forest grldders at Greencastle. Last Saturday’s frays threw a little more light on the State football situation. De Pauw loomed strong at I. U. The Methodist line showed exceptionally strong with Pressler and Hirt at the tackles as mountains of power. Krumheur and Burton in the back field played well. Two Good Teams Here Right here in 'india*iapo£s |wo good teams met when Butler won ever Franklin. The Baptists were on the offensive most of the first half, but could not get over. A slip in which a kick-off was let roll and the ball recovered by Butler was the ‘'break" that decided the contest. Wabash's showing against Hanover was rather disappointing to the followers of the Scarlet. Notre Dame ran Into a tough customer in Lombard, but won in a hard-fought game in which only straight football was used. Purdue ran up a good count against Wilmington. The backfleld looked good. Boys’ Tourney Winner In a boys’ tennis tourney at Garfield Park Sunday, Harold Jenkins won the’ final game from Carl Woodstock after dropping the first set. The score was 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0.

the Yankees are due to turn the tables on the Giants. I pick the Yankees to win, although I wouldn’t be at all auprised if it took them the limit of seven games to turn the trick.

New York registers interest in sporting events by buying, not shouting. and America’s biggest city is plenty interested in the coming fracas between the champions of Manhattan and the Bronx. Displays Are Lacking There are no pictures of the winning teams in the shop windows as in Cleveland in 1920. The New York coppers are not telling strangers all about McGraw and Huggins in the way the' Cincinnati cops related the virtues of Pat Moran in 1919. The schools are not going to be dismissed for the series and business will move along as usual. The main evidence that a world series is to be played here and that

on the part of the oposition. However, I am well aware of the punch the Yankees possess, and I cannot set aside the remarkable power of the pitching staff, even though the value of an all-star staff in a short series is a mooted question. The Yankees are a peculiar ball club. When the team is at the top of its game, getting high-class pitching, it is well nigh invinqible. On the other hand, the Yanks when in a slump, can look very ordinary.Without a doubt the New York Americans faileiLto play up to their standard* in the last two series with the Giants. - With two clubs so evenly matched as the Giants and the Yankees, I feel that the law of averages will eventually assert itself. On two ocasions the Giants have captured the world series. MeGraw’s club has played the best ball and gotten the breaks. I look for the Yankees to be a different ball club this year,

one that will suprise the Giants with its new spirit. The Yankees of 1923 are a different ball club from that of the past two years. Individual play has been shunted aside for team work. The ill feeling that seemed to exist among the stars in other years has been entirely eliminated. A fine Bpirit ifervades the entire club, harmony seems to reign supreme, and the word of Miller Huggins is accepted as the law without the slightest murmur.

The White Sox won the opening game of that series, Nick Altrock scoring a sensational ti to 1 victory over Mordecai Brown star of the National League. A little Incident, In which Nick Altrock figured, probably was the deciding factor in that series. I once asked Bill Corrigan, one of the greatest managers that ever was connected with the American league.

BREAK EVEN IN FAREWELL SERIES Indians Win and Lose as Season Closes, League ba/ieball in Indianapolis was brought to a close Sunday when the Indians divided a double-header with the Millers of Minneapolis. The Tribe won the first contest, 13 to 8 and the Millers the second, 7 to 1. Hendricks used his sandlot twirlers, Schmutte in the first and Francis In the second. Schmutte was wild and Francis was hit freely In the second affair. In the early afternoon affair Schmutte walked thirteen men and Tipple. Miller pitcher, walked ten. Indians and Millers also divided the Saturday double header, the locals winning the opening game, 6 to 3 and the Millers the secohd, 8 to 1. Dan O’Leary, veteran walker, hiked around the bases between games twelve times in ten minutes. The All-Pros, Including Indians and Mg leaguers, will play the A. B. C.s at Washington Park next Sunday. SHERIDAN NEXT ON CARD OF FERNDALE PLUNGERS Local Griders Give Alexandria Eleven Sound Thumping Sunday The Fern dal* football team defeated the Alexandria Tigers, 52 to 0, Sunday afternoon at Penney Park in a game In which the local pros displayed a wide variety of offensive play. The visitors had little to offer In the way of either attack or defense and the winners completed long and short passes, ran wild around the ends and charged through the line m a way that made the Tigers look poor. Next Sunday the Sheridan team will be at the East Side Park to meet the Ferndales. Last season Sheridan and Ferndale went to a scoreless tie, and their i dative strength this year appears about the same from the fact that a week ago Sheridan defeated the Alexandria Tigers, 51 to 0, and the Ferndales Sunday exceeded that count by just one point.

disappeared from the ranks of the Yankees. TJiat is going to be a big factor in reversing the success the Giants have enjoyed during the past two years. In favoring the Yankees to win, I am banking on Babe Ruth to come through. In the two previous clashes Ruth has been a handicap rather than a help to the American League entry. In each series the pitching staff of the Giants has stopped Ruth. Instead of being the big threat of the Yankees offense, Ruth has been practically helpless at the bat. During the season the Yankees are a much stronger club when Ruth is hitting. Unquestianably his absolute failure at the bat hurt the morale ofthe club In the series. In the coming series Ruth cannot be worse than he was in the two previous events. However, I look for Ruth to deliver this year. He is a far different player than the

bolsters up the courage, makes for mors confidence, adds to the fighting spirit; in other words, acts as a tonic -n every way. Back in 1906 the Chicago White Sox sprang one of the greatest surprises in the history of baseball by defeating the Cnicago Cubs. The Sox were known as the “Hitless Wonders.” Great pitching had made possible the winning of the pennant. The Cubs, handled by the "Peerless Leader” Frank Chance, were regarded as invincible.

what was his chief worry when going into a world series. "Pitching selection was always my chief worry,” was his reply. "Playing against teams in your own league a manager always has set ideas about working his pitchers. Pitted against a strange team, about which your knowledge is mostly hearsay a manager is rather up against it.”

Frank Smith, Nick Altrock and others. Jones wanted to make an impression against the Cub in that first game. He realized victory in the opener would upset Chance’s team. Who would pitch tha first game? Jones has since admitted that was his chief concern. In discussing the Cubs before the game. Jones had let his players know hi* mind was still in doubt as to the pitching selection. Most of the experts figured it would be Walsh or White, but Jones rather leaned toward Altrock, yet couldn’t make up his mind. When it came time to warm up, Altrock relieved him of his worry by walking over to Jones and saying: "Give me a j.ew ball, manager. I am going to v arm up and trim these guys, and then the other fellows can do the rest.” That speech was Just the tonic the Sox needed. Altrock pitched a great game, was faultlessly supported and turned In a 2 to 1 victory. It probably decided the series, for Walsh and AS hits did the rest, as Nick predicted. Altrock’s confidence in his ability to beat the Cubs inspired the rest of the team. The experts said the Sox played over their heads. That’s neither here nor there. Altrock won the first game and the Sox won the series. MISS CUMMINGS CHAMP Chicago Girl Takes Golf Title by Defeating Alexa Stirling. Bp Times Special RYE, N. Y„ Oct. 7.—Miss Edith Cumrrjlngs of Chicago won the national women’s golf championship here Saturday by defeating Miss Alexa Stirling of New' York, who has held the title three times, by a margin of ■ 3 up and 2 to play.

This looks like an American League year, a Yankee victory.

McGraw’s team is great. but Yanks are due to show real form.

Ruth of 1921 and 1922. He Is playing baseball, not merely swinging for home runs. With Ruth in there hitting and fielding in top form the Yankees are far more formidable. I am doping Ruth to be a great asset this year rather than a liability. I look for southpaw Herb Pennock to be a most troublesome pitcher for the Giants to solve. Pennock may prove to be the man who will swing the margin of victory to the Yankees. Pitchers who oan slow up like Sam Jones and Waite Hoyt are the type of right handers that bother the Giants. Fast ball pitching as supplied by Shawkey and Bush is a style rather favored by the Giants according to my observations. Bush's fork ball is his best asset against the Giants. Southpaw Jack Bentley is the only newcomer in the ranks of the Giants who stands out as a barrier to the Yankees chances to win.

Spirit of the American League pennant winner will surprise McGraw. • Yankees slumped badly in last two series with the Giants.

Individual play has been put aside for team work by Yankees. • • • Babe Ruth should be the hero this year, instead of the “goat.”

Bentley has a good curve ball and an excellent change of pace. Southpaws of that style always bother the Yankees. The veteran Sherrod Smith of the Cleveland team is a good example of what a heady southpaw can do with the Yankees.
