. „ iELL, It has to be done. The \ju world series opens on _L_J Wednesday and the annual task of predicting a winner cannot be put off any longer. We are not going to choose the easiest way. We could pick Pittsburgh and fall in line with almost every one. The Pirates are easy favorites to win the championship. Almost every fan we talk to likes the chances of the National League club. We could pick them, and if we were wrong everybody would be wrong with us. Probably a logical choice would be the Pirates, according to their individual records, batting strength, youth, and strong pitching staff. Latit year we picked the Giants, but the better team did not win. This year wo are not going to pick the team which on paper looks like the stuff. WASHINGTON is our choice. We pick the Senators not because they are better mechanically, but because of their known ganieness and experience. The Pirates are more likely to “blow.” It is a known fact that several of the Pittsburgh stars have a tendency to crack in the tight places. It is equally well known that Washington has a number of "money” players who are best in the pinches. It is mainly for this reason that we believe in Hip American League entry. We are hoping that Coveleskie wlll he in form. We hope that Harris will not be handicapped with his bum finger. We hope that Peck is rarin’ to gc. We hope that Johnson's arm feels just half as old as the great veteran really is. We don’t wish Pittsburgh any bad luck, but—- * • * a ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : A few more nickels were picked up Monday at. f.ntonia when three of the live horses selected were in the money one lost and the other was scratched. I’etle was the winner. Alexander Moore was second at good prices to place and show. Little Visitor, an even money choice at the track, ran third. Louisville and Nashville was ont of tins dough and Estin was withdrawn. The hank roll is 5228.65. Today we will play (OWH'N( HICK in the first at Latonia $lO to win. In the third BANKRUPT is worth a $2 win. place and show wager. The same goes on BRAEDALBANE. a sleeper, in the fourth and JACK BALER in the fifth. In the seventh we will drag one out of the brine and put *5 across on VALLETTE. • • • mUST what do the captains of two grid teams and the referee do when they meet out there in the middle of the gridiron and the official flips a coin? Not many sport fans know exactly. The rules on the subject were changed slightly this season. Here’s the exact wording of the rule: “The referee shall toss np a coin before the came In the presence ot the captains of the opposing teams, first designating which captain shall rail. The winner of the toss shall have the eholre of goal, or of kick!ng off. or of rrerirlng the kick-off. which choice shall not be rrvokable. ilie loser of the toss shall have the choice of the options which the winner does not select. These privileges as to choice shall be reversed at the beginning of the third period.” , This fei>v the winner of the toss has the additional option of receiving the kick-off in addition to the choice of goal or of making the kick-off. • • * We were talking to a. fellow from Crawfordsville on Monday and he says since the Purdue victory the students at Wabash are so full of pep that they think the grid team can take some more Big Ten scalps. They are not a bit afraid of such names as Minnesota, Illinois and lowa. Here’s power to you, Scarlet. But don’t expect too much. • * • FiRANKLIN College showed a splendid running attack —I against Rose Poly, according to one of the officials in the game. It was an exhibition of Notre Dame tactics, with the men on the interference leaving their feet to clear the way for the Pali carrier. Snappy passes on the run were also a feature. The Baptists may surprise Wisconsin and give the Badgers a real battle. State opposition, beware! • * • News dispatches state that 5500.000 was returned to Pittsburgh fans when no more seats were available for the world series. This was disappointing to the fans, but think how Barney Dreyfuss must feel! • * * | iEPORTS from Michigan U. Ilvl are tliat a ael,out seems L. J assured for the Indiana University football game at Ann Arbor next. Saturdaly. I. U. athletic authorities surely must hate to hear this news. It takes money to make the wheels go round in college football. The demand for tickets at Michigan is not because of any intense desire on the part of the fans to see the Crimson. Most of the tickets for the three other home games of the Wolverines are gone and it is the only opportunity for some to witness Coach Yost's proteges in action. Indiana doesn’t care how are why they come. It is the first meeting of the two schools on the grid since 1902. • * f jontenant Porter, matchmaker at Ft. Harrison during the outdoor boxing season, is on a leave of absence In Montana. The “loot” is hunting bear. We hope Porter does not lose tiny bouts. * ♦ * The Chicago baseball fans sure love punishment. The annu:>! series between the National and American League teams. The Cubs finished last and the Sox, fifth.

COLONEL STAR IS BANISHED Ballenger Fired After Wild Night on Pullman —Team in Baltimore. Hu Tirva* Sprrinl BALTIMORE, Oct. 6.—With the “little world's series" standing two victories apiece, Louisville, American Association champion, and Baltimore, International League winner, will resume their Class A A struggle here Wednesday. Monday and today were off days in the program. It is a nine-game series, five victories deciding the issue. Joe Deberry probably will be sent to the mound for the visiting Colonels in the fifth battle Wednesday. Gets the Tinware Pel Ballenger. third baseman of the Colonels, will not play in the remainder of the series and probably is through at Louisville. He was given orders to leave the Colonels when the club reached here. Ballenger, it is said, broke training rules and is reported to have disgraced himself on the Colonel special sleeper by parading clad only in underwear, despite the fact women were aboard. Efforts of McCarthy, other players and newspaper men to “tame” Ballenger. failed, it is said. Owner Knebelkanip of the Louis ville team, who was on the train, backed Manager McCarthy in the suspension of Ballenger. and .said bq would sell the player if he didn't get anything for him but a baseball bat. Acosta on Sick list With Ballenger gone. Gaffney, a sub, will play third. The Colonels will be handicapped further by the illness of Outfielder Acosta. Several Colonels this morning attempted to induce Manager McCarthy to overlook Ballenger’s misconduct, hut the Louisville boss refused. President Hickey of the American Association, here for the series, approved the action of McCarthy in banishing Ballenger. Ballenger was one of the best, if not the leader, among A. A, third basemen the past season and he has been playing good ball in the AA series.

UNITED PRESS SCRIBE STRINGS WITH CHAMPS Greater Experience and Superior Infield Defense Leads Farrell to Pick Senators to Check Pirates. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Sports Editor PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6. —After considering the relative pitching, fielding and batting strength of the principals in the world's series starting Wednesday, and the mental mo-ale of the two champions, it is our guess the Washington Senators will win the series from the Pittsburgh Pirates. It is only a guess and it is no better than the opinion of any one who thinks and is willing to wager that the flashy Pittsburgh Club will defeat the Washington veterans.
The Pirates are considered stronger than the Senators because of more quantity of good pitching, heavier hitting from eight men in the line-up, who are .300 or better and greater speed afoot, but a close analysis of the figures will show these advantages are not so heavy. Coming into the last stretch the Pirates were leading the National League in team batting with an average of .306, but the Senators were leading the American League with a mark of .305. The Pirates had sto'en 142 bases and the veteran Senators had stolen 132. There isn’t any great difference in those figures. Harris Knows Staff When it comes to pitching it does seem the Pirates have more good pitchers than the Senators, but the Pirate staff isn't as flexible as the Washington staff and no manager in baseball can handle and mix up ta.s pitchers as well as young Buck Harris did in the series last year. Harris, in beating the Giants last year, knew almost exactly how many innings his pitchers were good for and he made his plans accordingly. He had in Marberry—and he 'till has in him —the greatest relief pit< tier i.i baseball and he ought to be of invaluable service again this year. “MONEY TLAYING” The most important factor in a series where there is so much money at stake to the individual player*, is rxiierienre. Ball players call this experience "money playing’ 'and in this respect the Senators v.ill have a tremendous advantage. The difference between the winners and the losers share in the world’s series last year was more than *2.000 to each player and it ought to he just a* much this year. Every hall hit in the series will hr- tagged with 52.000 and the Pirates will think more of that than the Senators, who have hern through one terrific series and two Lard pennant races The Pirates' path to the National League championship didn’t test their !:amene*s to any great extent. The inuries that the Giants suffered all season lelped Pittsburgh to win the pennant. The Pirates have depended all season on hitting and speed on the bases, although their defense was helped by some very good pitching. The hitting strength should not be over emphasized in Hie series, however, as the Pirates did not have to knock down any infield strength in the National League like the Senators will present to them. SENATORS EXPERIENCED No National League team played the smart baseball that the Pirates will 1 ave to opposg against the Senators and the combination of brains, experiem-e and the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Indianapolis in the old Fed League days and was the nifty third-sacker of the Hoosier champions in the outlaw league. The title event opens in Pittsburgh Wednesday—a nervous day for managers. Victory in the first game Mill mean much, especially to the Pirates, who have several youngsters filling regular berths.
Weather Pu (tiffed Pres* PITTSBURGH. Oct. 6.—Rabid baseball fans who are forced to stand jn line to buy bleacher seats .for Wednesday's world series game are advised to bring raincoats along by 'William Brotzman, local weather forecaster. "That doesn’t imply the game will be pained out," Brotzman told the United Press. "Showers Wednesday are inevitable, but ( think they may come and go before the game begins," he added.
brilliant defense with which the American League champions are equipped is almost invincible. • It is true that luek was a big factor in the winning of the 1924 world's series. National Ix-ague players will tell you the Pirates will go into this series a stronger club than the Giant* were last year and that Washington beat the Giant* on luck. The Senators did have some lucky breaks, of course but their good luck in getting the breaks just about haianeed their misfortune in losing such a valuable player a* Roger Peekinpaugh. It certainly was no lucky break that forced Wahlugton to nut on thin I base a player who wasn't ever, a good minor leaguer. TIMELY HITTING COUNTS There arc batters on the Washington club that will get just as many hits in a pinch and drive in just as many runs as the vaunted Pittsbu:gh hitters, and that is what counts in any ball game. A hitter who can tut .600 over n season with the bases empty isn't as valuable to a team as a batter who hits .200 with the winning run on third base. There is no outstanding weakness on the Washington club, and tncrc is a decided weakness at first base on the Pittsburgh club, and It is not within memory that a world's series was won without a good firs* baseman. The Senators have experience, brains and the mechanical equipment of a worlds championship team, and they ougnt to win • SCOREBOARD AjTa. C. Games in the world’s baseball series opening in Pittsburgh Wednesday between Pirates and Senators will be reproduced on an electric scoreboard in the Indianapolis Athletic Club gymnasium. (Lames start at 2 o’clock in Pittsburgh, 1 o’clock Indianapolis. All club members are requested to attend and are urged to bring members of their families.
PACKO IN ANOTHER LOCAL GO Joe to Meet Welsh Next Monday—Wiggins Wallops Kansas Heavy. Joe Packo, Toledo 166-pounder, a popular, willing mixer, is going to return to Indianapolis for another engagement next Monday night and his opponent will be Eddie Welsh, the South Bend knuckle duster, who can slug and take 'em through ten rounds without slowing down. Billy Shine. Progress A. C. matchmaker. has signed the maulers tor his main go at Tomlinson Hall and fans who have seen the boys liefore know there will lo few Idle moments. Packo and Welsh are the type that supply action, win. lose or draw. New Albany Boxer Tn the semi-windup next week Kewpie Trimble, Chicago 140-pound lad. will be sent against Howard McClain, New Albany, over the eight-round distance. McClain is new to local rings, but is hailed around the Ohio River as a comer among the welters. Promoter Shine plans a card of thirty-eight rounds calling for six bouts, one ten, one eight, two sixes and two fours. At Casey Kimble's show at the hall last night Chuck Wiggins, local favorite. decisively -outpointed Ralph Brooks, Kansas heavy, in ten rounds. Wiggins had every round and was never in danger. Chuck was fast and Brooks was fat and slow. The Kansan was game, however, and supplied Chuck with a good workout. 18 Pounds Difference Brooks weighed 198 and Wiggins 180. The visitor didn’t give much ground and kept moving in on Chuck despite the fact he absorbed ten rounds of punishment. In other bouts last night results were as follows: Nail* Mornn.

Pittsburgh Has Youth and Power, Washington Experience and Spirit —Short Series No Test. By Billy Evans Veteran Big Le ague Umpire Who is going to win the world series? Seven National League managers have picked Pittsburgh, while eight American League leaders have named AVashington. John McGraw says its a toss-up. Loyalty usually sways the managerial judgment in picking the winner.
i regard Pittsburgh as one of the greatest teams that ever has represented the National League in the World Series. Pittsburgh can hit, has a world of speed and boasts very capable pitching. It richly deserved to win the National League pennant. Likewise, Washington is a great ball club, the best in the American League. There lias been no fluke connected with the victory of either club. The World Series clash will be a battle between the two logical contenders. Stack Up Even It is my opinion that seldom, if ever, have two more evenly matched clubs met in the fall classic. A careful analysis of the strength an<l weakness of the two teams probably would give Pittsburgh a slight edge. The Giants went into the series of last year with an admitted margin, but didn’t win. No one knew in advance that the Washington groundkeeper would have two pebbles in just the proper spot to turn aparontly easy outs into basehits. Those two pebbles had much to do with deciding the issue. Also there was no advance dope on the fact that in the final Inning of the deciding game 'Hank” Gowdy would trip over his mask and fail to catch an easy foul fly from “Muddy” Ruel’s bat. No one knew that Fate would then step into the picture and ordain that Ruel should take advantage of the slip by cracking out a two-bagger, the forerunner of the winning tally. I? is baseball tradition that the better team does not always emerge the victor in a World Series. NOT A TRI E TEST I do not believe there is a rllntinot mark of superiority between the two clubs oil which one could definitely pick the winner. After all, a short series is not a true test. f look for the breaks again to play a most important part in the final outcome. The breaks and courage are two features that cannot lx- overlooked in a sevengame affair. The averages show Pittsburgh has more power at the bat. but player* seldom run true to form in the blue ribbon classic. Often some ordinary batsman is the shining star. Pittsburgh has more speed, but Washington is far from being slow’ In a short series speed, from the standpoint of pilfer tng bases, is a debatable asset. With oaon game meaning so much, managers often go to safety-first methods rather than to the take a-chnneo kind. Pitching is always the most important MOTION PICTURES

factor. In this respect Pittsburgh appears to have a fairly comfortable edge, but you never can tell. , During the final month of last season. Southpaws Zachary and Mogridge just couldn't, finish a ball game in the American League. Doth seemed pitched out, .vet it was ttiese two pitchers who stopped tip- rusa of the Giants. Walter Johnson, ttie man Washington bunked on strongest, lost Ids first two starts, but was crowned with glory in the final win by as superb an exhibition of pitching as was ever seen on auy man's field. BATTINO AMI PITCHING • If Pittsburgh wins. 1 am Inclined to think it will be batting and pitching plus the break* that will do it. If Washington is victorious. T am of the belief that the club's marvelous defrn*e will be a prominent factor. A great defense, Indomitable courage and a winning spirit are certain lo characterize the play ol the Washington club. Ttic Washington infield is uncanny. I regard it as the best all round infield i have seen in my twenty year* of major league ball. Its ability to pull seemingly impossible double plays in the pinch is almost beyond comprehension. Nothing disturbs the morale of an opposing club more. Gift rtuis are a rarity when playing against Washington: they must be earned Washington will face plenty of curvehall pitching from the right-handed members ot the Pirate staff, also a brilliant southpaw in Yde. National Leaguers tell me southpaws arc just to the iking of Pittsburgh, that the team ha* bi n beaten only five times this year by vrtsiderx. That would seem to eliminate Washington's two left-handers, Zachary and Ruether. Speed also is said to be to the likhig of the Pirates, and speed is still jane of Walter Johnson s best assets. It wouldn't surprise me if Coveleskie’* spitball proved troublesomo. If “Covie" doesn't? tire, he is certain to bother the Pirates. Tt ere is also a possibility* that Alex I ergusen will be a factor in the series from a Washington standpoint. His varied assortment of stow stuff Is always troublesome to free-swinging batter* Pittsburgh lias power and vout.fi Washington experience and spirit. No more courageous club than Washington ever stepped on the bail field. Courage is potent factor in competitive sports. So evenly matched are the two clubs from my point ol view that, the breaks <• "tamly will decide nic series rather than any marked superiority on the part of either club. WORLD SERIES DETAILS William Clauer, secretary of the Indianapolis Baseball Club, has his world's series playing board set np in Tomlinson Hall and sanies >vil be reproduced there every flay of the struggle, starting Wednesday. Clauer has supervised the operation of the board in previous years and it gives a good detailed account of the action. World's series games start in the East at 2 o'clock, eastern time, which means the Tomlinson Hall board will go into action at 1 o’clock. MOTION PICTURES

BIG TEN FOES FOR HOOSIERS Butler Meets lllini Saturday, Indiana Tackles Michigan, Franklin at Wisconsin. Three State college teams will meet Big Ten opposition this week. Butler is working hard for the Illinois game at Urbana. Indiana University opens its western conference schedule against Michigan, at Ann Arbor, the first grid meeting between these two schools since 1902. Franklin has a task ahead at Wisconsin. The Butler contest with the lllini is getting to be an annual affair. It is the fourth year the locals have made the trip to the gridiron of (''each Zuppke's eleven. While the gridders are preparing on the field the rooters are planning for a regular invasion. A special train will leave Saturday morning with a reduced round trip fare. The band, all dolled up in new uniforms, will make the trip and the "howling hundred” will be tuned up for the occasion. Illinois has never forgotten the surprise defeat administered by Butler in 1922 and is not taking the contest as an easy batttle. I. U. appears to have just a fair team this year and Michigan rules heavy favorite. The Wolverine showed power last week In its game with the Michigan Aggies. A sellout is reported at Ann Arbor for the scrap. Franklin has succeeded in taking Wisconsin into camp on the basketInxll floor, but football is another story. The little Baptist school will run up against a mighty foe in the Badgers. Franklin showed up exceptionally well against Rose Poly and hopes to make a good Showing at Madison.
