PLAYING AFIELD -With Billy Evans

I p IOOTBALL coaches are still H ve,ry much in the dark as to I —J what effect the backward and forward pass is going to have on the general style of play this

season. Those with whom I have talked seem very much in doubt as to what is really going to happen. Some expressed the belief that before the close of the season many amazing formations might be sprung as a result of careful study and experi-

kx

Evans

ments. Others are inclined to think that the new restrictions relative to the passing, game are going to so change the style of play, that to the oldtimer, football will be considered as having gone to the dogs. I am inclined to think that much agitation pro and con will be raised over the new rules governing the passing game before another season rolls around. In defense of the football rule--makers, it must be said they have the courage to try out new ideas and more courage to go back to the old system if they prove failures. Prayers Before Game I n lEE where Coach Stagg sent his Chicago warriors into | | battle against Oklahoma, with a prayer that the Maroons would be able to bear up, should they be defeated. They were. Some years ago Centre College started this “victory by the prayer route” theory by kneeling on the field just before the kickoff. The teajn became known as the “Prayin’ Colonels” and received much publicity because of their methous. However, when Centre surprised the football world by a victory over the great Harvard team, it was the ability of one “Bo” McMillan to he able to outdodge the Harvard players in a broken field as well as run a little faster to boot that made such a ( thing possible. Prayer is most helpful in developing character, but football games can only be won by outscoring the opposition. Verbal efforts are negative. ROCKNE AND RULES |- —i OOTBALL fans throughout j Ti I the country are awaiting paLi; I tiently the big tests that the Notre Dame team annually faces. Few coaches are willing to tackle so hard a list of dates as Knute Rockne. some of the new rules, it is said, have been framed with an intent to slow up Rockne’s system. The change made in the shift rule is more or less directly aimed at him, since few elevens work with greater speed or precision in their shift plays than the athletes coached by Rockne. It has always been Rockne’s aim to get speed, develop a bewildering i offense and let the rest of the game j take care of itself. A great offense has always been Notre Dame’s best defense. It will be interesting to see how the officials in the big games rule on Rockne’s shift play this fall. He insists he will be able to keep within the rules without slowing up his attack. Other coaches express doubt on that point. Rockne again appears to have another well-balanced eleven and the result of the more important games on his schedule will definitely determine just how much the new shift rule has handicapped his style of play.

!Twirling of Pennock, Babe s Homer Add Fine Touch to Series

Pirate Staff Worn by Hot Flag Battle Unable to Stand World’s Series Strain for Nine Innings. By JACK HENDRICKS Manager of the Cincinnati Reds (Written for the United Press] NEW YORK, Oct. B.—ln the face of pitching such as Herb Pennock delivered Friday one must admit the New York Yankees have a great ball club, and that the victory in the 1927 world series, if they win it, as now seems probable, has been well earned. I do not recall an incident in world series history where a team came .from behind to win after losing the first three games, but I still think the Pittsburgh Pirates have a slender chance. It seems as though _the Pirate pitchers wore themselves out during the closing days of the National League pennant race, and that they have nothing left with which to stand off the Yankee batters for nine innings. Certainly Lee Meadows pitched great ball for five or six innings Friday, despite his bad start. He was as effective for a time against the Yankees as Pennock was against the Pirates.

Hoyt Puts Herb in Super Class as Series Star BY WAITE HOYTE Veteran Pitcher, New l'orl* Yankees NEW YORK, Oct. B.—Friday, Oct. 8 was a Red Letter Day in the history of the Yankees. We probably were the crowd in the good old town Friday night. Herb Pennock, Joe Dugan, Mark Koenig, Tony Lazzeri, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were stars of the day. Take your pick. Pennock is mine . So the Pirates were strong against left-handed pitchers! They knocked port-siders to all parts of the field. They annihilate all pitchers who deliver from the “off side.” Oh, they do! Ben Paschal put it right when he said: “There are left-handed pitchers and more left-handed pitchers—then there is Herb Pennock.” CorHerb Pennock is the greatest money pitcher who ever toed a rubber. He allowed three hits Friday. The Pittsburgh players attribute their showing to a bad hitting slump. Too much Pennock, I’d say.

Bu United Press YORK, Oct. B.—The Yankees this morning were 15 to 1 favorites to win the world series as a result of their third straight victory over the Pirates Friday.

Pirates Helpless Before Offerings of Yankees’ Southpaw Ace. MEADOWS TO SHOWERS And Bam Shows Cvengros How It’s Done! Bu United Press NEW YORK, Oct. B.—The spectacle of the greatest left-handed pitcher of the day mowing down all opposition inning after inning, added to the spectacle of the greatest hitter of all time smashing out a climactic home run with two men on bases, sent 65,000 fans in Yankee Stadium wild with enthusiasm Friday and saved the world series of 1927 from mediocrity. The New York Yankees won their third straight game from the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8 to 1, in the same old hollow fashion, but the amazing pitching of Slim Heroie Pennock and the tremendous blow by Babe Ruth into the right field bleachers in the seventh inning made it a ball game well worth while, for all that. Meadows Weakens Lee Meadows, after a shaky start, pitched for a time as though to make a real world series battle of it, and from the second to the sixth innings, held the Yankees hitless. But in the seventh, the bespectacled one went the way of all Pirate pitchers. A couple of singles and a double produced three Yankee runs in the seventh before Manager Ownie Bush clattered up out of the Pittsburgh dug-out, waving frantically for Meadows to go to the showers. So Meadows retired, and young Mike Cvengros hitched up his breeches and rubbed a little resin on the ball and looked over the situation from the vantage point of the pitching box. AlmQst immediately, Mike wishes there was a cyclone cellar in the vicinity, for there on third base roosted Earl Combs and back on second base was young Mark Koenig, and who should lumber up to the plate swinging an armful of ash and hickory but the terrible Babe Ruth himself. Glorious Setting It was a pretty spot into which to dump a young pitcher. But it provided a glorious stage setting for the Babe’s big act. Mike was cautious, and fed Ruth a couple of wide ones, one inside and one outside, which the Babe looked over disdainfully. Then Ovengros had to groove one, and Ruth fouled it off. There was a feeble Pittsburgh cheer when Mike followed this up by fooling the Babe completely with a low curve. The next pitch did it. There was a rythmic swing of the Bambino’s big body and a crash heard, throughout the Branx as bat met ball. The Babe began the old, familiar jog around the bases, and some 65,000 fans sent up a roar of triumph to the clear, blue Indian summer sky. Which recalls the fact that the world series thus far has been blessed by perfect baseball weather —however inglorious the baseball performances of one of the teams may have been. From then on Mike got along right well. The Yankees had done their stuff for the day. Pirates Helpless For seven innings today, while the Yankees were romping away to a commanding eight-run lead, not a single player on the Pittsburgh team reached first base. For seven innings, the Pirates went to bat and back to the bench, helpless before the wizardy of Herbie Pennock. A cripple a day ago, Pennock by nightfall had hurled his way to the highest peak of world series fame—and haft won his fifth straight victory of these post-season championships. Three hits is all Herbie allowed the National League champs, hits which came late in the game when the Yankees were leading 8 to 0 and which produced a lone Pittsburgh run. Ownie, Bush now has Carmen Hill to try to stop the Yankees. Miller Huggins will start either Wiley Moore or Waite Hoyt. One more victory for New York and it will be all over. Ask any member of the Yankees ' to name the man bn the team who is the “best fellow,” and each will choose Herb Pennock,/unreservedly. He does not go out of his way to make friends, but he is loyal and has the power to retain the good will of his associates. The third frame of the current world series was not the only post-season entrapment in which Pennock twirled a three-hit game. He let down the St. Louis Cardinals with that number in the first game of last year’s series. He turned in another victory before the 1926 classic was over. and. coupled wiffi the two triumphs he scored against the New York Giants in 1923, he now has a world series record of five victories and no defeats.

DIAMOND CLASSIC GOSSIP

Bu United Press __ —i EW YORK, Oct. B.—There V was a chance Manager Bush of the Pirates would put -George Grantham back on second today. Hay Rhyne, who had the assignment Friday, went hitless in four attempts and mussed up Koenig’s infield hit in the first even though he wasn’t charged with an error. If the Yanks win today they will be the first team to take four in a row for the world’s championship since the Boston Braves ran riot over the Philadelphia Athletics in 1914. Lou Gehrig gained the batting leadership in the first three games. He hit two doubles and two triples in eight times at bat for a percentage of .500. Mark Koenig was next with an average of .462, gained by six hits out of thirteen times up. Babe Ruth clouted .361 In three battles. Paul Waner had the same mark. ‘“Lee Meadows worked too hard,” the players said of the bespectacled Pirate pitcher after Friday’s game. It was recalled that he so exhausted himself in the first game against Washington in 1925 that- lie was useless for the rest of the series. He pitched himself out in early innings against the Yanks Friday and blew up in the seventh. Col. Jake Ruppert. the Yanks’ owner, was asked if he wanted to see the Pirates win today, prolonging the series and bringing more money into the coffers. “Not on your life,” replied the colonel. “If my team loses one game they may lose four and my heart’s too weak for that.” Asa member of the Chicago White Sox. Mike Cvengros. Piratre southpaw, onced fanned Babe Ruth three times in a game that went fifteen innings until Ruth finally broke It up with a home run. Thus it was no new experience for .Cvengros to stand and watch a ball leave Babe’s bat bound for the ripit field bleachers. Paul Waner, the outfielder moved just five steps. Then he realized it was useless to go further. Herb Pennock almost beat the record held by Ed Reulbach of the Chicago Cubs who set down the Chicago White Sox with one hit in a 1906 series game. It won’t be long now. Pennock, age 33. was 18 when he broke in with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1912. Three years later he was sold to Boston and remained with the Red Sox almost continuously until purchased by the Yankees fil 1922. For only a brief period in

second try bringing home the bacon. The Antlers. Hoops and Shinbones won three from the Ears, Hides and Eyes as the Teeth were taking two out of three from the Tails, in the Elk League games at the club alleys. Scoring was below par in this loop. Singleton being the only mem* ber to reach the 800 mark, geetting games of 198, 188 and 249 for a total of 635. Eddie Hofstatter reports sixteen new leagues joining the City Association this year. While this is a good showing, Eddie feels that more loops should enter organized bowling, and Is putting on a drive to break all records. The entry fee is but $2 per team. Shoen Bros, was the only team unable to win three straight in the Merchants Central League games at the Central alleys, Thursday night, the Smith & Moore team copping the second game. American Hi Speed Chain, Cook Bros. Meat, Hill & Cos., Petot Shoe Cos., and Bitterich Meat Market grabbed the series from the Gerking Bros., Central Meats, Leonard Cleaners, Indiana Electric Corporation and Universals. B. Mitchell of the Universal team secured an even 600 count on games of 167, 254 and 179. His 254 was high single game. The Gears took the Chills in all three games at the Century alleys, while the Oil Dogs. Orders and Production won the odd game from the Grinders, Casting and Inspection. These games tightened up the race in the Link Belt League and while the scores are not so large ' the intence is great and some ’'hot’’ games are rolled as witness the tie game between the Inspection and Production Thursday night. The roll-off produced 90 for the inspectors to 85 for Production. Joyce of the Order team was high with 569 on games of 200, 203 and 166.

1916 he was with the Buffalo club of the International League.

London Typist Swims Channel Bu United Press FOLKESTONE, England, Oct. 8. —Mercedes Gleitz, a London typist, is the first English woman to swim the English Channel. Despite the lateness of the season and a heavy fog, she walked victoriously ashore at St. Margaret’s Bay at 6:10 p. m. Friday after havfng been in the water fifteen hours and fifteen minutes. Immediately on landing on the English side she was taken aboard the fishing smack which has accompanied her across and taken to Folkestone Harbour. She became unconscious and remained so for two hours. Miss Gleitz's remarkable victory was due largely to her perseverance. It was her eighth attempt to swim the channel. As late as Wednesday of this week she made her seventh attempt and abandoned it when eight miles from the English coast after nine hours in the water. The Newspaper News of the World announced today it was awarding a $2,500 consolation to Miss Gleitz. It has offered $5,000 ■to the first English woman to better the record of Gertrude Ederle. The London typist took forty-four minutes longer than the American girl.

Sensational Finish But before he passed on McTigue threw off the shackles of his 37 years ad treated 13,472 fans to the wildest finish any champion ever made to save his falling crown. With his left eye almost closed, McTigue started a savage rally in the fourteenth round and drove Loughran to cover. Gaining fury in the final round. McTigue fought perhaps the greatest round of his career in a final, desperate effort to save his title. But nothing could save his crown for him.

Angered by several unintentional low blows struck by Tommy, McTigue outfought Loughran in the sixth and battled hi mon even terms in the seventh and eighth. Then, until the fourteenth, it was all Loughran. Although Loughran is recognized as the light heavyweight champion only in New York State, he probably will prove that he is a real champion in a short time and gain the sanction of the National boxirg commission.
