\tirrin’ DOPE By VEDDER GARD

——i LTHOUGH we thought Washington would win the world series we admit that it looks as though the better club won the championship. When the Pirates finally found their hitting stride they cracked the ball hard. They showed splendid ability in the field as well. Their pitchers were cool under fire. 'The bad weather conditions under which the final game was played was as bad for one side as the other. The series was more or less of a toss-up affair with both teams rpissing chances to end it befoi'e the seventh game. Any short series with two fairly evenly matched teams is more or less a gamble. We believe this year, however, that the better club won out. * * * > o : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o o Thursday was a bad day and we don’t have to fljture any winners. Four horses were out of the money. One race was declared off In which Colonel Wagner was selected. The bnnk roll went down to #207.05. This is another day. INVASION in I lie first is worth a #2 win. place and show play. The same goes on MARIAL BARTON in the second.

Everybody but Bucky Harris knew the great Veteran was through. Walter already had honor enough in the series with two victories—ad, anyway, what is the series played for; to make a hero out of somebody or to win the championship? ** * I I Sport followers can concentrate now on football. There are any number of feature games over the. country on Saturday with Ho'osiers especially interested in the annual Notre DameArmy clash at New York.

Kremer and Aldridge come in for their share of the glory as do Max Carey and “Pie” Traynor.

The demand has been so great that the tickets ar® to be put on sale Saturday morning at Spalding’s. • * • Mrs. Malaprop said this morning that slio knew all the time that Pittsburg was going to be the victim in the serial, and that Washington was to meet its Valley Forge. ‘‘l read where Johnson’s smoke was depended on,” the old lady said. “What’s a Mttle conditional smoke in Pittsburgh it’s just part of the hemisphere.” • * * SHE famous “Duke” Slater, lowa colored football star, all-western tackle in 1921 and selected on Camp’s all-Ameri-can third team, is back in college.

‘CLASS’ TELLS IN SERIES WIND-UP AND PIRATES WEAR CROWN

PECK IS LISTED AS ‘GOAT’ Goslin Also Horns in ‘lnferior Complex’ Class as Senators Go Down.. By Frank Getty United Press Stall Correspondent PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16.—1n nearstygian darkness, idols of baseball were shattered as the Pittsburgh Pirates won the deciding game of the world’s series and became world's champions of 1925. Qn a sea of mud, beneath dripping skies that were lit with a baleful yellow glare from the steel factories along the Monongahela, Pittsburgh bats cracked the pedestals erected for the heroes of our national game—and turned what might have been an epic of baseball into a tragic travesty. Pirate Fans Jollify Thursday night and until an early hour today, Pittsburgh fans, amidst the hooting of automobile horns in the jammed streets, the blare of horns ad impromptu bands, danced a frenzied “hop” of victory. His graying head bowed on his massive chest, Walter Johnson, a broken, but a respected, idol of the game, rode back to "Washington with the comrades who tried their best to cheer him. “Barney” was not the only idol among the Senators who needed cheering as the team sped back to the Capital to disband for the winter. Roger Peckinpaugh, voted the most valuable player in the American League this season, attempted to hide away after the game. Peck contributed two costly errors in the game which Pittsburgh won, 9 to 7, Thursday, bringing his total of bobbles to eight for the series, a record. That Peck Homer There was a moment in the eighth inning, with the score tied, when it seemed as though Peck had lifted himself from the throes of goatdom to the heights of heroism. Roger followed up an expensive misplay an inning earlier by smashing out a home-run into the left field stands, which put the Senators in the lead and looked to ; have the game won. But the golds of darkness, who were directing the destinies of the men who floundered through the mire of Forbes Field, willed otherwise and five minutes later the Washington shortstop had made another error which cost his team the game, the championship, the glory and the prize money. Goose Goslin, the Washington slugger, who had made three home runs in the series, failed to try hard enough for a long drive hit close to the jutting edge of the left field boxes and his failure helped lose the game. Goslin also suffered the ignominy of striking out in the ninth when his team was behind. Oldham fanned him for the final put-out of the game.

FRANKLIN AT BUTLER IN HOME-COMING GAME Wabash at Minnesota, Syracuse at Indiana, Notre Dame vs. Army in Feature Battles Saturday. The usual Saturday array of football battles will be on tap for State fans tomorrow with the Butler-Franklin clash at Irwin Field holding local attention. Notre Dame will buck the Army at Yankee Stadium, New York, while Syracuse made the trip west to meet Indiana at Bloomington.

The other Hoosier Big Ten school, Purdue, has an easy game with Rose Poly at Lafayette. Waash goes to Minnesota to fight a Big Ten club. Other games include State Normal at De Pauw as the feature of Old Gold day, Cedarville at Earlham, Louisville at Hanover, Valparaiso at Kalamazoo Normal and Manchester College at Indiana Central. Home-Coming Encouraged by its showing against Illinois and buoyed up by an appreciative audience of returning alumni, Butler is all,set for the home-coming day game. None of the team was seriously injured in the Illinois game, and Coach Page will be able to throw his strongest team against Franklin. Tho pass work which scored a touchdown against the Illini has been polished this week and probably will be aired against the invaders. A hard battle is expected. Alumni on Hand Graduate Manager Justus Paul reported that a number of alumni had reserved tickets for the home-coming game. Franklin followers are planning to make the trip to Indianapolis to witness the tussle. The entir4 student body of Wabash College turned out at noon today at tho Crawforilsville Moncn station to

S. H. S. SPORT Forty Report For Track — Gridders Have Rest. Forty candidates have reported for track practice at Shortridge and J. A. Culbertson, the new coach of the thinly clads, believes the Blue and White is due to enjoy better days in this branch of athletics. Workouts for the present are being held at Riverside Park. The grid warriors of Shortridge have a record of four “wins” in a row and the boys are out to keep a clean slate. Their last victory was over Elwood last week, when they displayed fine fighting spirit and came from behind to snare the honors. The gridders do not play this week and only light practices have been held. Friday, Oct. 23, Shortridge will meet the Boys’ Prep team at Prep Field. The game is expected to bo interesting. The Shortridge eleven is in excellent condition, with few injuries. No member of the first squad was made ineligible on account of poor marks. Basketball Is in full sway. Coach Enoch Burton is running the boys through a steady v orkout each evening. Bad marks received by some of the try-outs have somewhat decreased the available material for a good team. Coach Burton has begun early preparation for the opening game with Warren Central, Nov. 14. Coach John Kuebler has announced that, regardless of the outcome of the school tennis tournament, the 1926 tennis squad will be selected from those remaining in the fall finals. Wet courts are slowing up the progress of the meet.

Although the Gophers have a strong line-up this yedr, Wabash is planning to give th6m a terrific battle. Coach Vaughan announced that a short workout would be held In the new Minnesota stadium immediately after arrival at Minneapolis Saturday morning. Indiana University is very dubious over its chances against Syracuse since the overwhelming defeat last Saturday at Michigan. However, the Crimson team has been shifted somewhat during the past week and hopes to stage a comeback against the easterners. Strenuous work has been done by the coaches in an effort to overcome the glaring weaknesses shown in the Wolverine contest. Syracuse worked out at Washington Park on Thursday and left early this morning for Bloomington. The squad appeared in fine shape and was a. husky looking crew. SHADE VS.

Pittsburgh Pastimers “Out-Hustle” Veteran Senators and Win TitleHarris’ Judgment Is Criticised. t '> By Henry L. Farrell ' 1 ■ United Press Staff Correspondent 'A , PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16.—Last year when the Washington Senators won the world’s baseball series from the New York Giants it was said the better team did not win. The breaks—two balls that took a freakish bound over the head of Freddy Lindstrom, Giants’ third baseman, tied the score and then won the game in the finale of the series.

The victory of the Senators over the Giants in 1924, even to the most fervent admirers of the American League champions, could have been attributed to luck. But— There can be no question that the Pittsburgh Pirates are a bettter ball club than the Washington Senators. There was no factor of luck in that 9 to 7 victory that the young, hustling, hard-hitting Pirates scored over an older and more experienced Washington team In the final game of the world's series Thursday. Hustle and Hit It was hustling and hitting, poise in the pinch and nerve in tho pitcher’s box that enabled the Pirates, famed once for their lack of courage, to win baseball’s championship. There were occasions in the early games of the series when the Pirates seemed lazy both of limb and brain, when Buck Harris was making himself look more like a manager than Bill McKechnie, and when the Senators looked like a cinch in the hands of Walter Johnson. But Fred Clarke, that grand old hero, the manager of the Pittsburgh champions in 1909, who came back to
