TIRRIN’ the DOPE I By VEDDER GARD

ET Is said that at Illinois another numeral on a sweater Is taking tho place of “Red” Grange’s "77.” It seems as though No. 44 is getting quite a bit of attention. That jersey is worn by “Frosty” Peters, Montana half back. That’s a good tip for Butler. Only it is hoped that the Bulldogs will never see the number in the game. The only way they could glimpse it is from the rear. They had better not let Mr. Peters get away and start chasing him, for he is hard to catch. * * * Maybe Manager Buck Harris of Washington was right when he refused to allow Dutch Ruether to pitch against the Pirates in the last world series. * * • It is very nice to be a winner. Last spring in St. Louis there was some talk of selling the Card franchise to Kansas City because of the belief in certain quarters that St. Louis wasn’t big enough to support two major leagues. What a vastly different spirit is present now. * • * Jess Haines never will forget Oct. 5, 1926. The veteran reached the heights. The pitcher had a hitting average of .213 for the season. He had made a total of thirteen hits. His longest effort was a double. But Tuesday —well, that was a different story. He got: his one home nut of the year at a time it would do the most good. • • mEANNE LAMARR was arraigned in a New York court for not keeping a muzzle on her pet terrier. She told the judge she was the champion woman boxer of the world. ”1 have knocked out twenty-five women and five men. in Europe. No one will fight me here.” The judge suspended sentence. What we suggest is a medal of bravery for the cop who made the arrest. •* * * Dispatches from Paris are to the effect that red ants are making life miserable for dwellers in one section of the capital of France. The ant is so unpopular that authorities who have investigated say the mean little insect came from America. * • • You can hardly believe it, but quite a few St. Louis people were out at Fairmount Park watching the "ponies” run on Tuesday. Doubtless they couldn’t get in the ball grounds. That seems the only logical reason. * * * It has been said throughout Die season that whenever the Yankees had to step out and win they did it. Today would be a good time to staid—and they can’t delay any longer than Thursday. * * Pat Page, Indiana U. football coach, does not fear the “scouts” —not of a certain kind, anyway. He has invited all Indianapolis Boy Scouts to see the Kentucky game on Saturday at Bloomington. All that is necessary for admittance is the Scout uniform. * * * mLLINOIS University publicity talks about a Butler back field man by the name of Groumouth. Somebody surely writes a very poor hand—or the typewriter keys got twisted. The Urbana scribes probably will know how to spell Fromuth after next Saturday’s fray. He is a youngster who makes himself known on a football field. * * * Reports of Tuesday’s world series game say that Babe Ruth posed near third base for photographers before the contest started. That was closer than he got to the bag all the rest of the day. The Bambino did not reach second once during the fracas. For that matter, not a Yankee reached third base. * * * So much attention is focused on each play In a world series. And no matter how many good plays a man makes, one bad one at the wrong time is talked of for a year afterwards. Mark Koenig has made many fine stops and throws —but one miscue and all the rest Is forgotten. * * * Major Hoople might make good some of his boasts if he could just get in there and pitch against the Yankees. The "slug, ging” New Yorkers have not made an extra base hit in three games.

®HE infield play in the series has been high class so far. Thevenow, the Madison (Ind.) youth, handled the most assists in the first three contests —thirteen of them. He also had four points. Ivoenig the Yank shortstop, made his one bobble Tuesday at a bad time. His chances have nurrbered fourteen —some of them difficult. The opposing second basemen have played good defensive ball. Hornsby has had sixteen chances without a bobble and Lazzeri handled eighteen. At third Dugan has made some spectacular plays and accepted eight chances. Bell has been a little unsteady, but has come through in fine style. The one miscue of the Card infield was charged to him. His total chances have been eleven. “BIFF” IS CAPTAIN Bu United Pres* WEST POINT, N. Y„ Oct. 6. Hoad Coach Biff Jones of the Army football squad, who has held' a commission as first lieutenant, was notified Tuesday while on the playing field of his promotion. While coaching the team he was made Captain Jones.

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR CARDS TO LOSE, SAYS HENDRICKS

KOENIG'S ERROR IS COSTLY Billy Evans Says Young Yankee Shortstop Hurried Throw Unnecessarily. By Billy Evans Veteran Big League Umpire ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.—Yankee youth cracked first In the 1926 world series. Both the New York and St. Louis Infields have two youngsters in the line-up, Koenig and Lazzerl with the Yankees, Thevenow and Bell with the Cardinals. Prior to the start of the series, doubt was expressed as to the ability of these first-year men to stand up under the strain. World series ball games are Just a little different because of the big stakes. The sign of the dollar mark usually creates the strain. The rookies weathered the first two games nicely; the break came In the third contest, Koenig, Yankee shortstop, being the victim. Wild Throw Koenig, a youngster of great ability, Is either brilliant or erratic. With the exception of one play in the third game, he was the former. However, his one error, a wild throw, cost the ball game. Incidentally the break on the part of Koenig spoiled the well-laid plans of "Dutch’ 1 Ruether, veteran southpaw. The real damage of the ball game came In the fourth Inning after a severe rain storm had held things up for a half hour. Bell opened the Inning by flitting safely, his first bingle of the scries. ITafey sacrificed him to second. This (Turn to Page- 9)

Read What Haines Says of It

By Jess Haines, Winning St. Louis Pitcher. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.—lt certainly is great to win for your team before all the home fans. And to have that home run thrown in made my day complete Tuesday. I guess "Dutch” Ruether wasn’t bearing down very hard when ho threw me that fast one in the groove, for it came up big as a balloon, and all I had to do was lean on it. The boys certainly backed me up in great shape. Severai times when the Yankees knocked those long flies I crossed my fingers and hoped that one of the boys in the outfield would bring the ball down. I figured out a change of pace would be the way tfo beat New York. Alexander did it the same way Sunday in New York. And I didn’t take any chances with Babe Ruth. A slow ball where he couldn’t reach it took care of Ruth. I hope I can pitch again this series, but I guess it' will be over before it’s my turn again. NOT (iOOI) ENOUGH Bil United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—The State athletic commission has decided that Jimmy Murphy, Cleveland heavyweight, is no match for Monte Munn, the big Nebraska fighter, and has forbidden the bout between the two scheduled for Friday night at Madison Square Garden. Anew opponent is to be named today.

St. Louis Has Big Edge, Thinks Reds’ Manager After Tuesday’s Win. By Jack Hendricks Manager ot tha Cincinnati Reds (Written for the United Press) ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6. —Great pitching by Jess Haines and his home run, a hit that no one expected or could figure on, gave the St. Louis club the third game of the world series and put the Cards In a position where it seems impossible for them to lose the championship. With a lead of two to one In games, and \yith more pitchers waiting to work than the Yankees have, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the series ended with two more games. Any man who knows anything about baseball got a big kick out of that game that Haines pitched. Five times he wobbled and put the first Yankee batter on base and not a Yankee runner got as far as third base. The score was 4to 0. The Yankee Infield wobbled again In the most critical place. In the fourth inning, with one down and a sure double play In hand, Mark Koenig, taking a throw from Lazzerl, threw thq ball before he had a good hold on It and sailed It past Gehrig, on a bad bounce. Haines then camo up and lofted one into the right field stands for a homer. I never remember of Haines being considered a dangerous batter, but he Just managed to get hold of that one and he lofted It Into the crowd. From what I hear. Waite Hoyt Is sure to pitch for the Yankees In the fourth game and Flint Rhem Is being picked as the St. Louis pitcher but I understand that Rogers Hornsby Is very fond of Reinhart and may call upon him. So far In the series the Cardinals have been doing all the hustling and they have been taking advantage of every opening, every chance and every break.

The ball, thrown In from right Held by Babe Ruth, Is shown In the nir with Collins reaching for It.

RECORD SET FOR ST. LOUIS Sportsman’s Park Small Compared With Yank Stadium. Bv United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 6.—The attendance at the third world series game here Tuesday, won by Rogers Hornsby’s Cardinals, 4 to 0, made a new record for St. Louis, but It was a rather small looking assemblange compared to the thousands that saw the games In New York and the tens of thousands that were ridden over by the mounted police before the Sunday game started In New York. The. ball games so far have been just ball games with only a few thrills. The Cardinals are hitting when hits are needed and thq Yankees have not been able to get fn one good punch when a good pu.ich was essential. Pennock in Reserve The Yankees haven’t any other pitcher besides Hoyt who has a chance of going more than a few innings. Herb Pennock is a fragile young fellow and he is being held In reserve. Hornsby was expected to ask Rhem or Reinhart to pitch today. The weather promised to behave more circumspectly today, forecasters holding out the hope that there would be no showers such as those which marred the perfection,, from the point of view of all of St. Louis, of Tuesday’s game. The police department took drastic steps today to prevent crowds from gathering on root tops adjoining Sportsman’s Park as they did to look In on Tuesday’s game. A catastrophe Is feared, and police have warned that they will enforce the ordinance which permits only twenty pounds to the square foot on any roof. Jess Haines ranked as great a hero today as Rogers Hornsby and Billy Southworth and that Is the most superlative ranking St. Louis can confer. Celebration has followed celebration with such rapidity, first the winning of the pennant, then the return

Title Series Sidelights

By Joe Williams NEA Service Writer ST. LOUIS, Oct. So far as the Yanks are concerned the world series biscuits have turned to concrete and It’s going to take more than a set of store teeth to gnaw their way Into the main dining room. The Cards knocked them loose from their Broadway accent again yesterday and have them on the run. This Is a s>ad town to be on the run in. The only spot you can run to Is the Mississippi River. The Mississippi is an elegant place to raise mudeats, channel swimmers and coal barges In, but It’s no place to go to raise a batting average or a late fall epop of runs. The collective batting average of the Yanks so far approximates the weight of a stage midget who Is on a bread and water diet. The Yanks made enough runs in yesterday’s game to win any kind of a contest In which zero was trumpSi of the Cardinals, and finally Tuesday’s victory. The Cards scored their four ru Tuesday on four hits evenly between the fourth and fifth infflngs, and with the assistance of Mark Koenig. Koenig’s Bad Throw Bell singled after taking two strikes In the fourth and Hafey sent him to second with a sacrifice. O’Farrell looked at four bad ones and went to first and Thevenow hit Into what might have been a double play had Koenig not thrown the ball away. O’Farrell was forced at second, but Lou Gehrig couldn’t reach Mark's throw and Bell scored. Then Haines swung at the first pitched ball and It Settled Into the right field bleachers for a home run that scored Thevenow ahead of him. Southworth, of Sunday fame, opened for the Cardinals in the fifth with a single which ivent past Dugan and Hornsby singled to send Southworth to third. Bottomley cracked out a grounder and was out at first as Southworth brought In the fourth run. Hornsby was on second and Huggins replaced Ruether with Shawkey. The next two Cardinal batters were thrown out at first and the side was retired with the ball game in the Cards’ pockets.
