Huggins’ Faith In George Pipgras Is Rewarded With Series Victory Yankee Pilot Has Had String on Big Pitcher Since 1923; Pennock’s Injury Opens Way.

BY PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—One of Miller Huggins’ most daring gambles in a life-time devoted to baseball was a winner and thus the New York Yankees came back to their home ground today two up on the Pittsburg Pirates in the 1927 World iSeries. For years Huggins has guided George Pipgras toward pitching stardom and the 28-year-old westerner finally came through Thursday, his first post-season game, holding the Pirates to seven hits and two runs while his mates were making six runs and eleven hits. On String Since 1923 Ever since the early winter of 1923 the Yankees have had a string on Pipgras, but most of the time he has been in the minors, warming the bench here, pitching in batting practice or making a fourth at bridge. Occasionally he would figure in a • game, but his control was none too good and he was prone to blow up at crucial moments. But Huggins had faith and this year Pipgras began to justify it. He turned in ten victories against three defeats, but failed to pitch many complete games. There were few who thought Huggins would let him work in the world series. But a substitute outfielder drove a ball in the batting workout to Herb Pennock’s knee last Tuesday and it was George's chance. He made the best of it. Started in 1921 George had plenty of lean years. He started with Madison in the Dakota League in 1921 and was drafted that fall by the Boston Red Sox. They farmed him to Charleston in the South Atlantic circuit for the season of 1922, recalled him and then traded him to the New York Yankees. In developing Pipgras, Huggins sent him in 1925 to the Nashville club of the Southern League and the following year to St. Paul of the

American Association. Then the big pitcher, he is six feet one inch and weighs 187 pounds, came back and made good. The excellence of his pitching was somewhat overshadowed by the Yankee attack, but examination showed that he allowed no two of the seven hits in the same inning, that he gave only one base on balls and that he had the Pirates batting up no less than fifteen flies and fouls that were caught by the, Hugmen. There were few hard-driven infield hits made off Pipgras.

Fine Backfield Men Compete for Positions on Crimson Team. SCHEDULE' VERY HARD Victories for I. U. May Be Termed ‘Upsets.’ By DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 7. H. O. (Pat) Page has a gang of football hopefuls out for his Indiana University eleven this fall. Fortyfour of them labor daily under the guiding eye of Page and four assistants that they might make favorable showings before the home fans against Minnesota. Notre Dame, Michigan State and Purdue, also against Northwestern and Chicago on foreign fields. Page startled the Big Teii Conference at the schedule meeting last fall by laying out the schedule he did. He had little hopes of beating the teams he had scheduled. Any hopes were merely dreams. But Page does have constructive ideas and speaks his mind. Page said he was experimenting with the fans of the State. Should support be afforded Indiana again can bring the leading teams of the nation to Bloomington. Page has quite a bit of material at the local institution. It lines up something like the following: Ends Are Weak At the ends are A. Catterton and Weaver, both ineffective at stopping lateral pass plays and cut backs. McCracken, big, rangy Monrovian lad. seems to have absorbed a lot of football knowledge and looks like varsity calibre. W. Cattterton, Hiler and Baker are other wingmen. Pat’s tackles are just fair. He has three letter men, Moss, full back last year; Hull and Heilman, both 180 pounders. There are outstanding weakness in the play of the tackles. Failure to use the hands is one, failure to drive through to meet the offense another and failure to keep loose to meet the play a third. A couple of sophomores, one an Indianapolis boy, are likely looking guards. Ringwalt, former Tech star, is standing the freshmen on their heads this fall. Bundy is making things hot for Hill, a letter man. Trobaugh and K. Bennett are fair reserves. Centers Good There are several nifty centers. Randolph and Mathews both are clever passers. Randolph is a letter man who starred last season and Matthews so good he may see service at guard in many games. David, Logansport, is another candidate. Four letter men are available for the most important position of a Pat Page football team—quarter back. Garrison and Harrell are former Tech players. Byers, a half back lastT year, and “Lefty” Salmi also are on deck. Harrell probably will see service at half and be used at quarter only in an emergency. Os course, Chuck Bennett is the outstanding ball toter on the team. Chuck appears in condition and that means a lot. Balay, former Tech star, has possibilities. A husky lad, Reinhardt of Racine, Wis., will be heard of before this season fades. Full Well Handled Art Beckner seems O. K., also Founce of Marion, and Todd of Bedford. Beckner, like Salmi, is small. Their prowess in Big Ten football is overrated. Another position seemingly well fortified is full back where Stephensen, a veteran half, is holding sway. Steve’s punting is needed. Magnabosco and Springer are other possibilities. Any of the backfield men can pass but Indiana’s passing game will not be as fast as it should be. Indiana fans and alumni are going to see some mighty fine games this fall. Victories for I. U. probably will be upsets.

“Here it is, Babe,” says Gooch, the Pirate catcher, showing the ball to the mighty Ruth as he fans on a low curve. This happened in the first inning of the second world series game and provided the fans with one of their big thrills, for the Babe does two things better than anybody in the world—hitting home runs and striking out.

Veteran Mike vs. Tommy for Mitt Crown McTigue Defends Light Heavy Title in New York Tonight. Bu United Press , _ .... NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Mike McTigue, recognized in New York State as the light heavyweight champion of the world, will defend his title against Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia, in a fifteen-round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight. This clash will be the fourth between McTigue and Loughran. The Philadelphia fighter claims three victories, although Johnston, McTigue’s manager, asserts two of them were shady. McTigue was made the favorite in the early betting at 7 to 5. Loughran was expected to outweigh McTigue about two and a half pounds when they weighed in at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Loughran planned to weigh around 17412 and McTigue 172.

themselves In this series and stop the Yankees. The American League champions look like a good ball club, but if you will analyze those first two*games, you will see how easy It would be for the Yankees to be beaten. Babe Ruth went without a hit Thursday. The Wancr brothers of Pittsburgh seem to me to be much more likely to break out with some irresistible winning baseball. Loose playing thus far has been costly to the Pirates.
