Notre Dame and Butler ran up two of the highest football scores in the nation Saturday. In looking over the results we noticed only two others that piled up as many as 70 points. * * * . .10\V you believe what we \ told you about that But____i ler back field being able to GO if given half a chance. Some of the youngsters had better not get chesty. It will be Illinois next Saturday not Hanover. This isn’t meant to discourage, but only to make ’em fight all the harder. Once upon a time the Bulldogs got a death grip on the lUini and held it until the end of the game. It can be done again. Next Saturday the Butler root ers who take the special train to Urbana wiii see just how good Red Frnniuth, Cochrane and the rest of that flashy back field really is. Os course, it is up to the line to give the ball carriers an even break. * * * rm^ T DIANAPOL,IS football players were rather prominent Saturday in State School games. Hutton, former. Manual High School player, scored a touchdown for Purdue against the Navy on a forward pass play. Rabe, former Tech gridder, played weli at center in the Middie fray. At Indiana some of them did their durndest for Pat Page. Garrison, formerly of Tech, and Smith, Shortridge, were at quarter. Harrell, w}io used to star in the backfield for Tech, made some nice gains. Myers, who hails from this city, scored three touchdowns for Wabash There are a number of others scattered here and there. Os course, Butler has more than any other school. Captain Black wept to Technical. * * * mS Purdue starting out again to have one of. those seasons like last year? Coach Jimmy Phelan will have some gray hairs if such misfortune is ahead. 17 to 13—Navy. So many things can happen when a game is so close. The Boilermakers are wondering why they can't be the lucky ones sometimes. That was a beautiful fight up at Annapolis, but it wasn't a victory. It is so much hotter when a team emerges on the big end of the score. Not that Purdue students and alumni are not proud of their eleven, but, well—you know; you win or you don't win—no matter t' it's one point or 100. In 1925 the Boilermakers lost three games by one touchdown and another to Northwestern, 13 to 9. >The Purple used their famous safety play in that struggle to get the ball out of danger as the game neared a close. The annual I. U. contest was 0 to 0. Surely Dame Fortune is due for a smile or two upon such a fighting crew and such a gatne coach. We think Purdue is entitled to a few of the “breaks"—except when they meet Indiana. * * * EAT PAGE, the old fox, is up to his usual tricks down at I. T r . No sir, he just doesn't know what his team is going to be like. He doesn’t know who’s going to play or what posi tions they are going to fill. It's too bad about that man Page. According to reports Sibley was playing quarter back last week. He played end Saturday against De Pamv. Maybe he will play quarter before the season is over. Ask Pat. He knows. But just try and find out. Pat will have plenty of combinations down there at Bloomington. He believes in different methods against different teams and he always has something up his sleeve. One thing you don’t, have to ask him. That's whether his men are going to play ball. They battle . or they don't hang around long. * Not while Pat is boss. It hurts him to lose. It cuts him like a knife. If there is any chance Pat’s team will bring home the baron. By the very fire of his own indomitable will Page inspires his k players —and they have some W plays to earry out their purpose. MRS.

Mrs. Goss ruled the favorite in the final match after all of those expected to have a chance for the crown had dropped one by one from the running. Mrs. Goss did not play up to her usu.il standard. Her putting was poor, and it was this feature of her play that lost her the final match.

Next World Series Game at St. Louis Tuesday— Yanks Lose Sunday. By Henry 1,. Farrell United /’mot titn'f Correspondent ON BOARD THE BASEBALL SPECIAL TO ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4. With the world series all squared after two games, the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals were speeding today on thjs special train to the West, where the National and American League champions will open the third game of baseball's greatest classic Tuesday. The Yankees won Saturday, 2 to 1, and the Cardinals were victorious on Sunday, 6 to 2. The spirit of the two ball clubs was strikingly in contrast. “We're going home," the St. Louis players said in chorus, and home, with the civic reception that is waiting for the players, meant something more than the destination of the special trains. “Well, we have to hit St. Louis now and we'll have to go to work," the veteran Yankee players said. Babe Ruth, Joe Dugan and Bob Meusel, veterans of many campaigns with the Yankees, recalled that hectic series between the Yanks and the St. Louis Browns several years when the American League pennant was being decided. Whitey Witt, now gone from the major leagues, was playing center field for the Yankees in that series, and he was knocked cold by a bottle thrown from the bleachers. Different Attitude After the first game of the current series in New York Saturday, when Herb Pennock had given the hard hitting National League champions a lesson in how they could be forced to miss the ball, the Yankees got all full of spirit and enthusiasm and they assumed the attitude that —“We're in now.” Today on the train the Cards were feeling much the same way and the Yankees, farther ahead on the train, were not quite so sure of themselves. i The Yankees said that they lost Sunday’s second game just on the breaks. “Who would figure that Bill Southworth would loft a homer in a pinch?” Charley O'Leary, first assistant to Manager Miller Huggins, said. “I wasn't looking for that hit over my head,” Babe Ruth said. “I know Southworth and I never figured he wnuld have that much of a lick. Anyway I couldn’t have pullqd in that drive with an eight-foot ladder.’’ Alexander, the Great The Yankees all agreed that Grover Alexander, who was a world series pitching star in 1914, had showed them some of the best pitching they ever had seen. • After the second inning, Alexander was absolutely in command of the game and his curve ball deliveries had the Yankees swinging like that proverbial old barn yard gate. Both Alexander and Shocker started unsteadily, but Alex grew better inning by inning and Shocker was in trouble on every pitch. All the hall players were immensely pleased with the two huge gates that were attracted in New York and as St. Louis is certain to be sold out for the next two games that the players share in. the chances are that the two teams will get more money than the players in any other series. Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees and Rogers Hornsby, the young pilot of the Cards, were closeted in their staterooms and refused any intimations on pitching selections for the third game, but it was a Tree guess that Flint Rhem would start for St. Louis, and that Dutch Ruother might he called upon to work for the Yankees. R. R. CHAMPS New York Central Team Beats Pennsy for Title. Before a crowd of 10,000 at Washington Park Saturday, the Indiana Harbor Belt team, champions of the New York Central Lines, defeated the Columbus (Ohio) club, Pennsylvania System champs, 3 to 1, for the railed baseball title. Captain Murchison of the winners was in fine form and struck out eleven Pennsy batsmen. He allowed only four hits. Mead of the losers also pitched well, permitting only six blows. One of them was a home run by Stevenson, a hard-hit ball which hopped over the low sense in left field. Special trains brought the rooters into this city. Among the spectators were the presidents of both railroads. Everybody had a great time, with two bands furnishing the music. The winners were honored at a dinner at the Claypool Hotel Saturday night.

By Major Hoople YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Oct. 3.—Egad, folks, I had a very thrilling ride back to the hotel on Sunday afternoon, after the game with other baseball experts, in a luxurious press car escorted through traffic by a motorcycle officer. That was the first time I recall being escorted by an officer of the law, without the usual embarrassment and chagrin, ahem. By Jove, the day shines bright and clear like the light in a bride's eyes. Hm-m, lam in a poetic mpod. Both Dempsey and Tunney witnessed the contest Sunday. The -hurler for St. Louis was Alexander the Great. Seems to me I have heard that name before, although he does not look Greek. My word, the game commences! The first St. Louis batsman came to the home terminal for some reason or other, but changed his mind and struck out. Mr. Hornsby on his first appearance bashed the bally ball for two sacks, if you will pardon my slang. By the way, folks, if I make any technical errors in describing this contest, all blame can be laid on a gentleman's hat directly in front of me. It is a brown felt hat and it not only fits his head, but the entire infield, vlslonally speaking. of course. I would ask him to remove it, but he has large obstinate-looking shoulders. Yes. Mr. Push-’Em-Up Lazzeri, egad, what an odd name, drove In the first run for New York. Mr. Lazzeri also started a game of tick-tack-toe between the catcher, pitcher, third baseman and himself, by getting trapped between third and home. They dil-ly-dallied this way and that, but since he was fooling and not In earnest, the other men would not play any more and let him score. St. Louis became hostile during the next inning and made two scores also, tielng the game. A heavy swelling sound came from the West.

A Mr. Southworth of St. Louis hit a home run over Mr. Ruth's head into the bleachers. Bearding the lion, as it were. Three more runs were counted for St. Louis. The sky became darkened in the west for a moment. This was caused by hats tieing hurled high in the air over in St. Louis. Mr. Bottomley of the Cardinals must have had friends or brothers sitting in the right field stand, as he drove three unfair balls over there side by side. He continued hitting foul balls until he used them all up but one. It looked for a moment that the game would he delayed until the management sent a Jplea into the grandstand for holders of autographed baseballs to donate them in order to resume the game. He finally hit one into the official ball ground. Mr. Thevenow of St. Louis sent his respects to Mr. Ruth, who thought it would be a foul ball. Ruth dropped the ball while running and finished by standing on his head in the right field boxes. This counted for another home run. One was genuine, end the other was on the installment plan.

HENDRICKS HAS HUNCH PLAY WONT LAST LONG Jack Believes Cards Will Settle It in St. Louis —Their Bat Power Rules, He Says.

By .lack Hendricks, Manager of the Cincinnati Reds. (Written for the United Press) ON BOARD THE BASEBALL SPECIAL TRAIN TO ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4.—St. Louis is now even with the New York Yankees in the battle for the world series prize and the Play is developing as I predicted it would. I have been watching the Cardinals all season and I knew that they were a hard hitting ball club, a club that would start slamming the ball against any kind of pitching without a oruent's warning. In the first game of the series the Cardinals were stopped by Herb Pennock s wonderful pitching, but I knew that they wouldn't stay stopped. The second game of the series Sunday was never In doubt after Grover Alexander had passed the second Inning. He. for some reason, seemed to be nervous at the start and it was only his wise old fighting head that kept the Yankees from getting more than two runs in that Inning. Shocker was unsteady from the start of the game and any baseball man. sitting in the stands, could know that he was working too hard on every ball. The Cards must have known it, too, and they waited him out until the chance came to punch, and then they punched. Southworth Connects Shocker pitched wrong to South worth and the former New York Giant outfielder knocked the ball into the bleachers over Babe Ruth's head, in the seventh inning, and the ball game va* over. Two men'were on base v hen Southworth connected.

Ownie Bush, Tribe pilot for three years, has been recommended among others for the job of managing the St. Louis Americans next season, but has received no offer, according to Secretary Clauer of the Indians. Bush is taking a vacation motoring through the East and could not he reached for an answer to the rumor that he would leave Indian-* apolis. Bush did not discuss the matter before starting on his trip and left the impression at home and with Tribe Club officials that he would be back on the job as Tribe pilot in 1927. Like any other individual, Bush Is open to an opportunity for more money and more prestige in baseball and naturally would consider another big league offer, hut. it would have to be astonishingly big to get him away from home. President William C. Smith. Sr., and Vice President William C. Smith, Jr., are in New York and Bush plans to them. Pitcher Myron Speece of the Indians has been sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates, it was stated over the week-end.
