PLAYING AFIELD With Billy Evans - r—n HE so-called expert dope was | badly exploded in the world 1 * I series between the Yankees and the Pirates. Some of the pre-series predictions by those familiar with the strength

of the National League champions were that— Pittsburgh’s staff of curve - ball artists will stop the New York sluggers, who are easy picking for that style of pitching. N o * southpaw will have a chance to beat the Pirates, for they are deadly poison to that kind of j

Evans

pitching. Pittsburgh will run wild on the Yankees’ catching staff, for the Pirates are the best base-running club in the National League. Manager Bush intends for his pitchers really to pitch to Ruth and Gehrig and is positive, by properly working on them, the two sluggers of the Yankees will be silenced. Now let us see what actually happened to this alleged wise stuff that was handed out prior to the opening of the series. * * * YANKEES WERE HITTING mN my sizoup of the two clubs, | I expressed the opinion that the outcome of the series largely depended upon the mood of the Yankees. That is, if the Pirates found them in the midst of one of their batting orgies, no Pirate pitcher would stop them. It so happened the Pirates found the Yanks in such a mood and not one of the four starting pitchers, the regulars of the Pittsburgh staff j —KrOner, Aldridge, Meadows and Hill—were able to finish. j, New York looked over plenty of j curve-ball pitching, they missed a j lot of the ‘'hooks” served them, but, I in the pinch, they hit enough of ! them to enable the - Yanks to win, four straight. The Pltkbri'-'h twlrlers are now i familiar *r'ih vr.'-.fi tbo pitchers on i seven other American League clubs wore up against last sum-.. mer.

PENNOCK WAS POISON EERHAPS Pittsburgh is poison for the ordinary southpaw, but in the frail Herbert Penndek the Pirates met an, extraordinary left-hander. All Pennock did was retire twenty-two batters in succession and with one man down in the eighth had pitched a perfect ball; game. The Pirates made only three hits and one run off his delivery. No doubt the Pirates have plenty of speed on the bases, but they seldom had a chance to show it, and when they did the conditions of the game didn’t favor such play. True, the Pirate pitchers did pitch to both Ruth and Gehrig, with very few exceptions. However, their curves failed to stop the slugging tactics of the two Yankee stars. The extra base hits of Babe and # Lou just about spoiled the series from a Pittsburgh standpoint. The pre-series bunk was worthless. * * * PIRATES OUTCLASSED SHE Pirates were outclassed In' the recent world series. There is no doubt of that. However, the Pirates unquestionably played far beiow form. Pittsburgh is a much better *ball club than it showed in the series. The Yankees, a truly great ball club when in the proper mood, were at 1 the top of their game. After an ordinary start in the first game, New York always dominated the situation. All season many of the experts have insisted the remarkable hitting of the Yankees was due to inferior pitching. Yet, in the world series, the Pirate staff failed to stop the Yanks, while the alleged inferior staff of New York had no trouble holding the Pirates in check. All of which proves it is the wise person who takes nothing for granted as far as the outcome of a ball game or series is concerned. •Fights and Fighters ATLANTA, Ga.—Paul Berlenbach, New York, former light heavyweight champion, ana Joe Lohman, Toledo, went ten slow rounds to a draw.

Delaney Rules as Favorite iri Renault Battle By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—The future of Jack Delaney as a heavyweight is dependent upon the outcome of his scheduled ten-round bout with Jack Renault at Madison Square Garden •tonight. Delaney is a 6-to-5 favorite. Since he relinquished his lightheavyweight title to compete as a heavyweight, Delaney has failed to live up to the promising things said of him when he was competing in the 175-pound division. Before he entered the heavyweight division, Delaney was regarded as perhaps the mast finished boxer among the heavier men, but against the bigger heayweights he has failed to display the prowess he did as a lignt-heavy. Renault, who was regarded as one oJ the leading contenders for the title when Jack Dempsey was champion, began his comeback recently by winning from Arthur De Kuh.

Just how good he was can be seen from the almost unanimous pick for All-American full back. He can do everything—and how! Joesting is one of the least photographed grid stars in the nation.

Absurd Legislation of Fight Game Now Taken Up On National Scale Eighteen States, Four Foreign Nations in New Association; Annual Convention in Toledo Sunday.

BY FRArtK GETTY, ynited Press Sports Editor . NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—The sport of Boxing already has suffered from too much legislation in New York State. The local athletic commission has become Jairly notorious for ridiculous rulings, such as its insistence, a little more than a year ago, that Harry Wills was the logical contender for the heavyweight championship and its haphazard awarding of titles. Now it seems the business of legislating the fight game is to be taken up on a national scale. Eighteen States and four foreign nations are affiliated with the National Boxing Association of the United States, which meets in annual .convention in Toledo Sunday. The first important action, we are told, will be to deprive Sammy Mandell of RockfdTd, 111., of his title as lightweight champion. Probably Sammy deserves it.' He hasn't gone cut of his way to look for suitable opponents. There seems to be danger of over; legislation in this respect, however, There is no telling where ttye national association will stop, if its absolute authority over the sport is recognized and confirmed. ' Things may reach the stage
