PLAYING AFIELD

l- With Billy Evans I UNQUESTIONABLY, the two II II interesting players in f 1 the National League this year are the Waner brothers of Pittsbui'gh. I have seen Paul Waner in action a number of times and well realise he is a re-

markabie 'ball player. In the cnly game in which I saw Lloyd in action, he had a very ordinary day, failed to hit and gummed up one of his two fielding chances. In that same game Paul was at his best. In this connection, I recall what

Evans

a, fan from northern Michigan once said to me. Living several hundred miles from Detroit, he saw Cobb play, perhaps, a dozen times during his connection with the Tigers. In talking with him one day I made the remark Cobb was the greatest player, all things considered, I ever ‘have seen in action. “I guess all you say about Cobb ;ls true, but I can’t vouch for it,” he replied. “I got to see him in

f ggh Q^r)

Pfection about once a year; have seen him play about a dozen games and yet I have never seen him make a basehit.” It just happened that Cobb would be off his stride or was opposed by a pitcher good enough to make trouble for him when friend fan saw him play. * * * PRAISE FOR BOTH BOYS I 1 NTERESTED to know what T the National League players LA. I thought of the famous Waner brothers, I never have failed to seek information on that subject whenever I bumped into a National League club during the summer. . “Paul Waner is a wonder,” would linvariably be the response from ■every player I talked with. He does very thing well. Almost singles handed he has kept the Pirates in the race for the last two years.” When I mentioned the younger brother, Loyd, the answer would usually be along these lines: “The kid has been a sensation this year. You wonder how he keeps going with his slight physique. He’s a marvel if he can keep it up.” While the National League players do not make any definite statements on the subject of the younger Waner, they give you the impression that they have their doubts 1 about his ability to continue his mad pace. When an opposing team stopped I the Waner boys this year, the Pirates were not nearly so hard to ' beat. That is the best test of their real worth. * * * FIRST CASE OF KIND m DOUBT if ever in the history of baseball have two brothers enjoyed such remarkable success as the Waners ; over the same period. In a batting way, Paul Waner was the first National League player to make 200 hits. Loyd Waner. reached that mark a few days la-

• JIL,

ter. As far as I can learn, he is the f first player to reach the double cenj tury In base hits in the first year ‘ as a major leaguer. t Paul Waner, in his second year ’ !n the big show, is an outstanding /■Star, while Lloyd, to win a berth as : a regular, has supplanted so clever < a player as “Kiki” Cuyler, a few years ago as great an idol in Pitts- •, burgh as Babe Ruth is m New York. Rival National League teams have Ho doubt about Paul’s extraordinary ability, yet there seems to be much . skepticism as to Lloyd. The thought fels rampant that the young man is Pa trifle over his head.

No so if you are willing to take the word of Brother Paul, who says, “Lloyd is a better ball player than i am.” You can take that or leave it. 1 TODAY’S SELECTIONS HAVRE DE GRACE Wellet.

Tiger 9 Decisive Winner in Bout By United Press WILKES BARRE, Pa., Oct. 1 “Tiger” Flowers, former middleweight champion of the world, decisively defeated Pete Latzo, former welter titleholder, in a * ten-round decision bout here Friday night, winning every session with the exception of two, in which LaLtzo was given an even break. From the first bell to the last, Flowers was the aggressor and with short, choppy punches never permitted Latzo to get set' for a damaging punch. In the majority of the ten rounds, Latzo was given considerable punishment, although in the second and fifth frames he managed to reach Flowers with several had rights. Prep Downed by Anderson Eleven By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. I.—Anderson High School squeezed out a 6 to 0 victory over Boys Preparatory of Indianapolis here Friday in a spectacular hard fought battle. A pass, Ricker to Holtzclaw in the second quarter accounted for the only score of the contest. Although showing a fast moving line and backfield the Indianapolis team was forced on the defensive during the major portion of the game. Massey, Booker and Thompson played well for the visitors.

Shortridge Takes Dedicatory Game Shortridge opened its home season in fine style Friday adding a.pleasing touch to the dedicatory services of its new athletic field at FortyThird and Houghey Sts., by galloping to a 33 to 0 triumph over Sheridan. The northsiders piled up a lead of fifteen points in the first half an added eighteen more in the final half. Rose and Ennis each scored two touchdowns for the Blue and White and Miller added the fifth. Spurgeon and L. Skinner, also played well for the locals.

I.—Byron Bancroft Johnson, founder of the American League and pilot of that organization through a stormy quarter century, Friday fired a parting shot at his two bitter enemies, Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis and Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox. Johnson, who* resigned under pressure in July,, with the provision that he be given time to “set his house in order,” is expected to retire from baseball within a few days. In a statement given to the press Johnson criticised Landis and the White Sox management in bitter terms for their conduct of baseball affairs. Judge Landis laughed when he was shown the Johnson statement, and refused to comment. Harry Grabiner, secretary of the White Sox, said he planned to issue a statement later.

National Flag Race Prolonged When Lucas Tames Corsairs on Friday. NEW YORK ELIMINATED Bushmen Remain at Cincy, Cubs Invade St. Louis. Ownie Bush’s “Perspiring Pirates” failed to “do it” Friday and the National League pennant struggle was prolonged with St. Louis still having a chance to gain a tie for the lead if the Corsairs fail to win one of the two remaining games at Cincinnati and the Cards annex both battles from the Chicago Cubs in the Mound City. - The race will be decided if Pittsburgh takes one game or if St. Louis loses one. In the event of a tie Sunday night, there will have to be a play-off in a series of three contests to determine the National League championship before the world series can be started. “Cincy Red” Shines” Manager Bush was expected to assign Ray Kremer to the Pirate mound in Cincy today in an effort to capture the championship. Aldridge and Miljus pitched the Friday fracas. Red Lucas, Cincy hurler, allowed the Pirate sluggers only six hits and held them scoreless until the eighth inning, the Reds "winning, 2 to 1. If the Cards won today and the Pirates lost, the Cincinnati park will swarm with fans Sunday and doubtless a crowd-of similar proportions will turn out in St. Louis. Whew! It’s a sizzling race—righi down to the wire. Giants Pass Out New York iFriday was eliminated from possibility of tieing the Pirates and Cards by Dazzy Vance and the Brooklyn Dodgers. While both teams played loosely, the Giants fell down completely and allowed Brooklyn to score ten runs on nine hits. The score was 10 to 5/ Vance allowed only six hits and would have scored a shutout except for poor fielding. The number of games lost by Philadelphia this season was brought to 100 Friday when the Braves hit Scott and Tabor safely eighteen times and won, 12 to 2. Both games of a double-header went to the White Sox, who played the Tigers. The first game was won in the thirteenth inning, 5 to 4, when a walk and two hits scored the needed rim after four scoreless innings. The second game was called after the sixth on account of darkness, with the Sox leading, 4 to 1. ' Another American League doubleheader Friday was divided by the Cleveland Indians and the Browns. Cleveland broke a tie with a single run in the ninth to win the first game, 5 to 4. In the second game, Wright of the Browns tightened up after allowing four runs in the first inning while his teammates were knocking out Underhill and McKain. The score was St. Louis, 9; Cleveland, 4. KOKOMO SET FOR TILT \ . Bu Times Special ..KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. I.—One of the largest crowds ever to witness a professional football game locally is expected Sunday when the Middletown (Ohio) Armcos invade to battle the Kokomo Legion team. A defense against the forward pass, vicious offensive weapon of the Ohioans, has been perfected by Coach- C. A. Sumner.

New Record Not Enough for Big Bam Babe Attempts to Boost Mark in Final Game of Season. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. I.—Playing his final game of the 1927 season, Babe Ruth, king of home run hitters, today hoped to boost his new home run record to 61 or perhaps. 62. “I want to give them a mark to shoot at for all time to come!” Babe said after he hit his sixtieth homer of the season Friday against the Senators. The blow came In the eighth Inning and established anew world’s record for home runs in one s< ason. In 1921 Huth hit 59 homers lu a single season and baseball fans and experts agreed the mark might stand forever. But not so. It is twelve years since Babe started hitting home runs in the big leagues and he has hit 416 of them. For the first three seasons, he averaged only three homers a season, for the Babe was then only a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox. After Ruth turned outfielder and hit 29 homers in 1919, he was sold to the Yankees and has been hitting homers ever since. Brazil Tramples Over Washington Bu Times Special BRAZIL, Ind., Oct.
