Giants Shape Up for Title Series — It's All Over Now in the Association

ART NEHF IS PROBABLE STARTER FOR NEW YORK Senators Step Out to Shake Yanks Off Heels in American Flag Race —McGraw's Cripples Improve, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—With their fourth straight National League championship put away safely in the bag, the New York Giants started prepartions today for the world series. The champions were to play the final game of the regular season with the Philadelphia Phils this afternoon and Manager McGraw planned to use a lot of the rookies, who have been eating off the club during the season.

McGraw does not, however, intend to let his regulars get off edge and several exhibition games will be played before Saturday, when the series start. The "Washington Senators have not won the American League pennant officially, but they are just as good as In. They have two more games to play with the Boston Red Sox and they have a lead of two games. The New York Yanks have a pair of games to play with the Philadelphia Athletics. Washington Almost In If the Senators should lose two and tho Tanks should win two they k Anld finish in a tie and would have Fa go through a three-game series [to decide the pennant, but the [chance for a play-off is remote. The Senators can cinch the pennant if they win today’s game and also if they lose and the Yanks lose. The- Giants apparently figure Washington as sure to win as plans have been made to send the team to Washington Thursday night. The Giant players will work out in the Washington ball park Friday, ac- , cording to arrangements. McGraw is figuring on . having Frank Frisch, captain of the team, and Heinie Groh, his veteran third baseman, in shape to play during | the series. Probable New York Line-Up While -no line-up has been decided upon, McGraw intimated that he would like to use the following batting order: Groh, .3b: Frisch, 2b; Young, rs: Kelly, cfj Terry, lb; Wilson. If; Jackson, ss; Gewdy or Snyder, c. Because of his experience and ability as a fielder, Arthur Nehf, the veteran southpaw may be called upon to pitch the first game for the Giants. He is in fine shape now. McQuillan and Jack Bentley are also in good condition and ready for their i turn. The . Gian.t3 are ruling a slight favorite .in the betting to win if Washington plays the American League end. Not much money is being; offered as the Giant backers are doubtful about the team if Frisch and Groh do not play. I ■ Wind-up in A. A.

BIG CROWD SEES FERNDALESWIN Placement by Seidensticker Decides Stubborn Battle, The Ferndale football team opened the season here Sunday at Pennsy Park before a crowd estimated at 2,500, with a victory over the Louisville Goldbergs, 3 to 0. After battling for three periods without a score, Seidensticker, for- I mer Wabash player, booted the ball from placement on the twenty-five-yard line for three points. Although the locals displayed a i strong offense, the Colonels’ line tightened when the goal was In danger of being crossed. The Kentuckians' attempts at the strong Ferndale line were futile. The Ferndales will play the Muncie A. C.s next Sunday at Pennsy Park. Baseball Calendar AMERICAN ASSOCIATION (Final Official Standingi W. L.

RAY SCHALK DISCUSSES JOHNSON IN BIG SERIES Famous Sox. Catcher Says 'Hazard' May Cause Walter to Lose Usual Effectiveness. BY RAY SCHALK, Famous Catcher, Chicago White Sox If Washington takes down the American League pennant, what will Walter Johnson, premier pitcher of baseball, do in a world series ? It is world series history that the outstanding stars seldom play up to form. Invariably some player, little touted to shine, does the feature work of the series.

The winning of the American League pennant by Washington would be very popular, due largely to the desire of the baseball public too see the great Walter Johnson perform in a world series. Task Confronts Johnson What Walter Johnson would do If given an opportunity to pitch In a world series has for years been a topic of conversation with baseball sane. Tie general Impression is that Johnsor would make "monkeys’’ of any team that would oppose him. Ten to fifteen years ago I believe Johnson would have Jived up to that opinion on the part of fandom. It Is my belief that single-handed Jie ctjuld then have won a world series with just a mediocre club back of him. If Walter Johnson, after seventeen years of strenuous campaigning, finally gets into a world series he is going to find the situation somewhat different. Johnson, while still a great pitcher. Is not the Johnson of ten years ago. In endurance if nothing else. These days Johnson needs a three or four-day rest between games. Then. It would have been no great task for him to pitch every other day. “Eyes of the World” Psychology Is going to play a big part in the showing of Walter Johnson in the series, should Washington nose nut a victory. When Johnson steps on the rubber he is going to realize the eyes of the baseball world are on him, that fandom is expecting great things. Johnson .s going to face a mental hazard that won’t be helpful. The Washington star must forget the sporting spotlight is focused on him, must regard a world series contest as Just a game of ball, If he is to show to best advantage. Any player who ever has been in a world series will tell you It is pretty hard not to realize you are striving for big stakes. Johnson is as courageous as any pitcher that eyer delivered a ball. But after all It Is not a question of courage but temperament. If Washington gets into the series no pitcher will ever have carried the task that rests on Johnson’s shoulders. I am not so sure he will come through as strongly as fandom expects. Hoppe to Play German By United.

Now', let’s turn to another October afternoon in 1916. The scene is Illinois field, a morass of mud. Two minutes of a bitter struggle remain. Illinois clings to a sixpoint lead, the result of two accurate kicks. But Ohio, the as-yet unsung babe of the Western Conference, was threatening. A long forward pass from "Chic” Harley to End MacDonald had carried Ohio from its . twenty-yar 1 line to midfield and a succession of short tosses, in w'hich the martyred aviator, Fred Norton, figured prominently, made it fourth down with three yards to go on Illinois' thirteen-yard line.

The Prest-OUtes, city amateur baseball association champions in class AA, made the trip to Cincinnati Sunday to play the Cheviots of that city, but rain interfered and the game was called off.

Then came a great play. Again, it was Harley back, with the option of passing or running. Illinois' right end charged in a few steps, then dropped back. In that instant Harley decided what to do. He faked to pass, then ran to the end. Two teammates going to the left as possible pass receivers blocked the defensive end and right half back. Harley outran the full back, straight-armed the defensive right end, who had been only partly blocked, straight-armed the safety man and dove for a touchdown in the extreme left corner of the field. The winning point hinged on the success of the free kick, from a difficult angle to the left of the goal posts. Harley was not through thinking. He called time, asked for a clean right shoe to replace the mud-heavy one he had on, then he made good the goal—and game. The play, though no one knew It at the time, was the genesis of the movement for the Ohio Stadium, a movement that gained impetus and finally crystallized into an active campaign.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EARLY GRID RUNS TRUE 10 DOPE IN HOOSIER BATTLES Butler, Purdue, Indiana, De Pauw and Franklin Victors in First Games. The first college football games of the season in Indiana came out just like every one thought they would. Some teams appeared a little stronger than early dope had them rated, while others were somewhat weaker, but there were no upsets when the final results were chalked up. Out at Irwin field Hanover fought gamely against Butler and crossed the Blue and White goal line on a questionable forward pass, but the final score found the local squad in front, 21 to 6. Butler counted a touchdown in the first, third and fourth periods. Hanover Fights The southern Indiana team fought stubbornly and put up a courageous battle. Coach Page of the Irvington team ran in many substitutes. G. Hough was a power on the visiting team, Canfield of Butler, a sophomore, playing his first game, looked like a comer. Purdue finally defeated Wabash at Lafayette. The first three quarters found the score tied at 7 and 7. Wabash scored on a fumble and thir-ty-yard run. In the last quarter Harmeson, a former Manual High School star, made two touchdowns for Purdue. The final count was 21 to 7, Purdue. Lorber Sliines Indiana University ran away from Rose Poly at Bloomington bv the overwhelming count of 65 to 0. I. U. piled up 44 points in the last quarter. Lorber made four touchdowns for Indiana. Franklin defeated Indiana Central at Franklin. 28 to 0, by scoring a touchdown in every period. It was the losers first attempt at the grid game in the history of the school.

INDIANS RETURN HOME TO DISBAND FOR YEAR Tribe Finishes Second to Saints and Colonels Are Close Third Hoosiers Drop Final Games. After a long season of daily struggles, Ownie Bush’s Indians were due home from Minneapolis late today to collect their luggage and disband until next spring. The Tribesmen finished second to the Saints in the all-season thriller race and the Louisville Colonels were a close third. The Hoosiers lost seven out of eight battles during the two series in the ' Twin Cities and barely landed the runner-up position.

Minneapolis won Saturday, 3 to 1, and then annexed the double-header Sunday, 7 to 3 and 8 to 2. The Saints captured the pennant Saturday when they defeated the Colonels in the second half of the day’s twin bill while the Indians were losing at Minneapolis. The Colonel-Saint program at St. Paul Sunday was divided. Tribe players and followers desired to see Pitcher Jess Petty boost his total wins to thirty, but the Millers had too many bats Sunday and -Manager Bush’s efforts to put Petty over failed because his athletes didn’t wallop the ball In timely fashion. Saints vs. Orioles St. Paul started preparations today for the "little world series" with Baltimore. The first conflict will be staged in the Oriole city Thursday. Tribe fans feel some disappointment over the failure of the Indians to annex the pennant, but when everything is considered the record of the Bushmen stands out as very good. Injuries and sickness handicapped the team through the season, but despite tho bad breaks the club never was below third place and was in the flag running right up to Saturday, the day before the schedule closed. As for next year, there will be a few faces missing and new ones present in the line-up. Jess Petty, the hero of tho 1924 season, probably will get a chance to graduate to the majors, and his shoes will be the hardest to fill for the Tribe officials. He finished as the league’s leading twirler with twenty-nine victories. Indianapolis fans certainly take their hats off to Jess.

GLENN HUNTER MERTON OF THE MOVIES

What Colnmbns (O.) Critla* Think of Merton — “Merton of the Movies” has cotae to the Hartman, and all Colombo* shon’d come out to give It welcome, if th.-re ever was a comedy which deserved to throng the house with capacity audiences at each showing this one should do b.—Dispatch. “Merton” Is the first and probably will be the best comedy of the new season. So don’t deny yourself a chance to see this play and most of all Its youthful star, Glenn H un ter. —Cl t izen. Without fear of exaggeration or of being forced to swallow the words before next spring, well venture the assertion that when the 1924-25 season has ended It will stand out as the finest comedy of the year.—Journal.
