PLAYING the FIE L D

With Billy Evans rr-riOST of the players lack the IVll urge to win ” | IVA | That was the reply of Eddie Collins, when I asked him if he noted any striking difference between the players of today and those of twenty years ago. “There is little or no difference in the natural ability of the players, past and present;

it is in the spirit.” I often have heard the “will-to-win” preached in all forms of competitive sport, but I admit I liked the “urge-to-win” of Collins a little better, despite the fact both mean much the same. I am inclined to agree with Collins in his deductions. Too n-vmy players

are perfectly satisfied If they get their quota of basehits, regardless of the result of the game. EITCHER TED LYONS of the Chicago White Sox is the best example of the rather rare species of players who have plenty of the urge to win,” continued Collins. “What a great pitcher that boy is and how he likes to win! When he is on the rubber, he pitches his heart out. He is happy only when he wins. “Rather slight of physique, there are a number of pitchers with a better fast ball, but he makes up for his deficiency in that respect by a choice assortment of stuff; He has every style delivery possible in his pitching kit. “Incidentally, Lyons is more than iist a pitcher. A team really has ve infielders when he is in the boxAt the bat he is always dangerous and when he gets on the bases he is by far the best base runner in the league as far as the pitchers are concerned. “To top off his natural ability, he has a keen mind and, best of all, the urge to win. Would there were more like Ted Lyons. Baseball would be a better game.” The fact Lyons could win more than twenty games for the second division Chicago White Sox is the best evidence that could be offered as to his pitching prowess. " "| NOTHER member of the ChiA cago White Sox, whose fine •**•l work has been more or less overlooked, because of the club’s lowly standing, also has the urge to win of which Eddie Collins speaks. I have reference to Outfielder Alex Metzler. This spring, when Chicago lost the services of Johnny Mostil for the season, it was believed the club had suffered a handicap that would prove fatal to its chances to get anywhere. It didn't seem as if there was a player in sight who could step into the breach and deliver without the absence of Mostil being seriously felt. That is just what Metzler did. Brought back from the minors after Connie Mack had given up claim to him, he has played brilliant baseball in the field and batted over .300 all season. What more could one ask?

HARRY HIGH Bu United Press =~IETROIT, Oct. 3.—By I J I getting seven hits in ZZU nine times at bat Sunday, Harry Heilmann closed the 1927 baseball season with a batting average of .399, to lead batteres of both major leagues. Heilmann’s mark was 19 points above that of Paul Waner, National League leader who averaged .380. Heilmann led the American League in 1921, 1923 and 1925.

Hoosier Grid Elevens Show Well In Numerous Week-End Battles Two GSmes Lost to Neighbor State Teams; Notre Dame, Indiana, Butler, Purdue Show Strength.

Indiana colleges and universities fared extraordinarily well in Saturday’s football battles, and any upsets that may be in store were postponed another week. One of the out-State games lost by an Indiana team was the one dropped by Hanover to the Univer\sity of Cincinnati, 30-6, and this hardly can be classed a humiliating vdefeat, due to the fact the game was played at night on a floodlighted field. Butler piled up the most spectacular score 'of the day against Valparaiso, winning, 58-0, with Wat/ford, Negro full back, and Nulf doing most of the work. Snappy Comeback Indiana also made an impressive showing, defeating the Kentucky Wildcats, 21 to 0. Although the Hoosiers lost ground in the first minutes of play, they made a snappy comeback, displaying a versatile attack which ended by completely demoralizing the Kentucky defense. Purdue failed to demonstrate any extraordinary ability in its scrap with De Pauw, defeating the Greencastle team 15-0 in a slow game. Strength was demonstrated, however, by the fact fifteen consecutive plays in the third quarter netted 13 points. Coe was given a sound beating by Notre Dame after the former team thought it had a tie with the Rockmen in its scrap. Rockne saved the best until the last half, then throw in his first string horsemen and buried Coe. Score Touchback Wabash made a good showing against Georgetown. The -Scarlet forward wall held the Kentuckians, while its attack netted two touchdowns, and a 12 to 2 victory. Earlham defeated another outState team by smearing Antioch College of Yellow Springs, Ohio, to the tune of 24 to 0 . Manchester lost a 7 to 0 decision to Definance, when the Dunkards’ last-minute aerial attack turned a hard-fought tie into a victory. L '

World’s Series Seizes Undivided Attention of Baseball Fans

Purdue Star Not to Play at Cambridge 'Cotton’ Wilcox Operated on for Removal of Chipped Bone. By United Press \ LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 3.—Capt. Chester (Cotton) Wilcox of the Purdue football team, was operated on at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital here, Sunday morning, for the removal of a broken bone in his ankle. The injury was received in the 133 Pauw game, Saturday, but did not become apparent until Sunday morning when the Boilermaker captain arose with a swollen ankle. Wilcox was rushed to the hospital where an X-ray picture showed a splintered bone. He was put on the operating table immediately and the chip removed. It is impossible to predict just how long Purdue’s veteran ball carrier will be out of the line-up, but it is safe to say he will not be in condition for the Harvard game at Cambridge next Saturday. The loss of Wilcox is a severe blow to Purdue’s hope for a victory over the Crimson.

Erect Temporary Bleachers at Forbes Field for Opener Wednesday. LITTLE BETTING DONE Pirates, Yanks Ready for Practice Sessions. By United Press PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3.—Carpenters hammered away on temporary bleachers out at Forbes Field, this afternoon. Hotel clerks began saying, “No, I’m sorry. Full up.” The members of the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates arrived in town. Officials of the Pirates were forced to return checks and money orders because all or the reserve seats have been taken. There was a lot of argument. Paul Waner, it sepmed, would show up Babe Ruth for the egg he is. Howdo you get that way? Why, Ruth—. October Madness And thus it went, leaving the supposition the world series, a form of October baseball madness, was soon to seize the citizenery’s undivided attention. The surmise was fact and the Pirates and Yankees meet here Wednesday in the first game of the series. Thus far there is little betting. Pittsburgh fans are positive, of course, the Pirates will win, but have heard Yank rooters are offering 7 to 5 and are awaiting the arrival of New Yorkers to learn whether the reports are true. A somewhat bibulous gentleman from Manhattan paraded through the lobby of a downtown hotel Sunday night offering to bet SI,OOO, at 10 to 9, the Yankees would win the first game. He found no takers. Most of the Pirate regulars arrived from Cincinnati Sunday, the rear guard coming in today. The ■yanks reached here from New York today, and both teams were planning visits to Forbes Feild for a practice session. At noon the Chamber of Commerce was to tender an official reception to the National League champions. Limited Capacity The Pirates’ offices put in the mails the letters to both successful and unsuccessful applicants for seats. It was estimated Barney Dreyfuss would lose upward of SIOO,OOO because of the limited seating capacity at the Pittsburgh park. The temporary bleachers will accommodate some 5,000 customers, .bringing the total number of seats to around 41,000. The second game also will be held here and then the teams will go to New York for three games. If neither team has won the requisite four encounters, they will play a return engagement here next Monday and Tuesday. The schedule will be moved back one day whenever rain causes a postponement.

Full Program for Middle Western Football Teams On Tap Saturday Five Intersectional Contests and Two Big Ten Games Scheduled for Next Week-End.

BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Football teams of the Middle West face a full program next Saturday, when five intersectional contests, and two Big Ten championship games are scheduled. Two Western teams invade the East; Purdue, darkhorse of the Western Conference, plays Harvard at Cambridge, and Marquette of Milwaukee meets the Army at West Point. While Purdue is not favored as a conference leader, the team coached by Jimirie Phelan is representative of Big Ten ability, and should give the Crimson an interesting argument. Marquette was not impressive against little Lawrence College last Saturday. Tough Opponents Two Big Ten teams meet Missouri Valley opponents. Wisconsin plays Kansas at Lawrence, and Oklahoma Aggies face Minnesota at Minneapolis. The Badger-Jay hawk game looks even, while the Gophers are overwhelming favorites. Northwestern takes on Utah, a team undefeated since 1925, and is

Early Start The other teams to get off to an early start in the Big Ten championship fight are Chicago and Indiana. Cnicago, because of the defeat at the hands of Oklahoma Saturday, ranks lower than Maroon followers had hoped, while Indiana, by decisively beating Kentucky, has increased its prestige. Every Big Ten team did what was expected of it in the "warm-up” games Saturday, except Chicago. Minnesota ran the steam-roller, manned by Herb Joesting, “Shorty" Almquist, Mally Nydahl and Harold Barnhart over North Dakota. Northwestern flattened South Dakota in a similar manner. Ohio State, in a game with Wittenberg, showed its team as the one they’ll have to beat to win the Big Ten title. Michigan had plenty of punch against Ohio Wesleyan. Purdue found unexpected opposition from De Pauw, but won without disclosing the brand of football that will be played against Harvard. Illini Tricky Wisconsin had a smooth attack against Cornell, lowa, and may prove a trouble-maker. Illinois showed a pair of fine backs in Fred Humbert and Judson Timm. Illinois also disclosed a pack of tricky formations against Bradley. Notre Dame will battle against the University of Detroit next Saturday. The South Benders got away to a slow start against Coe, but speeded up, and showed a fast back field, headed by Christy Flanagan, Ray Dahman, Elmer Wynne and Charley Riley.

Stanford Upset Stuns California R Stanford, I J cai., Oct. 3.—Pacific coast football fans still were stunned here today, the result of. the tremendous upset turned in Saturday by St. Mary’s College when it sent the powerful Stanford Cardinals, 1926 Coast Conference champions, down to a 16-to-0 defeat. Talk today centered on the achievement of Coach “Slip” Madigan’s Oakland eleven in rushing the Cardinal backfield into many fumbles and outplaying its noted rivals in every department and at every stage of the game.

PRE-SERIES CHATTER

Bu United Press ITTSBURGH, Oct. 3.—Not P the least interesting feature _ of the world series is the fact that the players’ gaudy middle names are revealed when the list of eligible players is made public. One learns, for instance, that the Pirate catcher is John Beverly Gooch; that the Yankee substitute third baseman is Julian Valentine Wera, and that the regular th/d baseman Is Joseph Aloysius Dugan. Although Babe Ruth holds the record of eight home runs in world series games, there is one slugging mark he has yet to tie. Elmer Smith of the Cleveland Indians hit a homer with three men on base against the Brooklyn Robins in 1920. Ruth never has been able to bring in three mates ahead of him in a series. The Babe has a chance to tie another mark this year in Lis eighth world series. Frank Frisch, now of St. Louis, hit better than .300 in four series when he was with the Giants. Ruth has batted .300 or higher in three classics. Few fans know, by the way, who holds the best batting mark ever made in a single series by a player entering four or more games. Hank Gowdy, in 1914, with’ the Boston Braves, batted at a .545 clip against the Athletics.

Showers also are in sight.

OCT. 3, 1927

‘Finis’ Penned on Season in Big Leagues Cardinals Squeeze Into Second Place Money in National Loop. “Finis” was written on the 1927 major league baseball slate Sunday, as tepms in both the National and American Leagues went through perfunctory games and awaited the start of the world series between New York and Pittsbburgh. Only one game of importance was on the Sunday bill. By beating the Chicago Cubs, 6 to 4, the St. Louis Cardinals won second place money in the National League. In an eight-inning contest, cut) short by rain, the Cardinals fell on Bush and Jones for nine hits, and led the New York Giants by a half game in the final standing.
