PLAYING the FIELD

-Witji Billy Evans-

r ■ iHE best wise crack of the last I’T’ I world series was pulled by a 1- 1 | fan who had paid his three bucks to sit high upon one of the steel girders in the Yankee stadium. The fast one as pulled by this rooter had to do with the Pittsburgh

Pirates and the Sf. I Louis Browns. During the past season the New York Yankees won twenty-one straight games from the St. Louis Browns, finally dropping the last one of the season the between the two clubs. I After the Pirate! had lost three in a row to the

Evans

Yanks in the late lamented clash, the fan, thoroughly disgusted at the showing of the Pirates, for he was pulling hard for them throughout the game, yelled at them as they walked across the field to the clubhouse: “Take off those Pirate uniforms. You can’t fool me. I know you boys—you’re the St. Louis i Browns.” • i jAS there something of a fluke i U\ i connected with St. Mary’s un.__J expected victory over Stanford, Pacific coast champions last year, coached by the great Pop Warner? It seems St. Mary’s hardly had gotten properly started celebrating the upset it had sprung by beating Stanford, when along came California to trounce the conquerors of Stanford, 13-0. As in baseball, the breaks in football usually provide the medium for pulling the unexpected. The dope I got from a coast football cleuth reveals a few interesting facts. Stanford made 13 fumbles, 10 of which were” recovered by the enemy, proving St. Mary’s was alert and Stanford sluggish. Twice the St. Mary’s player recovering a fumble ran unmolested for a touchdown. At another time a blocked kick put St. Mary’s in a position to kick a field goal. It strikes me it is going to be a long time before another Warner coached team makes 13 fumbles and permits the opposition to recover 10 of them, flats off to St. Mary’s. * * * SLL the great sluggers have various weaknesses at the bat, due to the fact that they are free swingers and certain styles of pitching are troublesome for such batters when crossed up. > Babe Ruth will tell you frankly he doesn’t like to hit against the “screw” ball. This is a half-speed fast ball that works away from a left-handed hitter as it nears the plate when thrown by a right-hand-ed pitcher. Pitched low and outside, it is a difficult ball to properly time and thereby get perfect contact with the bat. Alexander and Haines used it to advantage against Ruth last year in the series, while in the recent clash the Pirate pitchers worked it overtime. Yet Ruth’s longest home run of the series, made in the fourth game off Hill, was on a “screw” ball. However, instead of keeping it low and outside, Hill lost control and got it inside, with the result that Ruth hit it into the right-hand bleachers. True, Ruth doesn’t like to hit against the “screw” ball, but-no pitcher can get careless in its delivery and feel at all safe.

Eddie Striebeck started with a 219, came back with 234, then faltered when he drew two splits in a row and stopped at 181 for a total of 633, which won him first place in the Century alley sweepstakes Sunday. Bill Sargent and Mike O’Grady tied for second and third with a total of 603 each. Dan Abbott appeared to be a winner, but a couple of boots and a number ten oin that appeared to be part of the foundation forced him to pul! up at 592. Jerry O’Grady was another hard luck shooter, the number ten sticking on him no fewer than eight times. Eddie Homberger turned in the best count for last week’s games on local alleys when he dropped 694 on gafrnes of 244, 221 and 229.

Old Dame Dope Badly Battered In Grid Battles of State Elevens Indiana Startles by Deadlocking Gopher Giants; Purdue Tumbled by Chicago; Franklin Holds Butler Even.

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Hoosier college football fandom today was striving to retain its balance after a topsy-turvy weekend. It may, or may not, have been a happy week-end for Indiana’s grid followers, but it was ascertained that it was a real “upset Saturday.” Old Dame Dope, that fair prognosticator of gridiron fates, today was endeavoring to hide a pair of black eyes and several other cuts and bruises. Topping the list came the remarkable showing of Pat Page’s Indiana University crew in holding the Minnesota Giants to a 14-14 tie. The Gophers, overwhelming favorites to romp to an easy victory, played erratic ball at times and wide-awake Pagemen promptly took advantage of Minnesota mistakes. The Crimson was on the alert at all times. The Hoosiers put up a plucky fight and even with the all-Amer-ican fullback, Herb Joesting, ripping huge holes in the Indiana line in the final half, the Gophers were unable to push across the necessary points. Twice the Hoosiers held for downs with the ball within a few Among Indiana stars were Harrell, Balay, McCracken and Matthews. Knute Rockne invaded Baltimore with his latest group of trained horsemen who trotted, galloped and raced to a 19 to 6 triumph over the Navy. The Middies had a 6to 0 margin before Knute had time to “jerk” his shock troops. The varsity went in and ChriAy

are far out in front in both loops and threatening to take their place as the best combination in the city. Mrs. Johns again led the field of “bowlerettes” with games of 164, 244 and 158 for a total of 566. Her 244 tied Mrs. Meeker for second high single games of the season. Mrs. Fulton has high game with a score of 258 rolled earlier In the season. Reynolds was very consistent and secured second high total for the week, a score of- 563 on games of 189, 185 and 189. „ Ten games over the 250 mark is the record for last week, Rick’s 279 topping the field. Lee Merriman >was next when he broke the Grotto League record with a great 278 in his last game before starting to the ill-fated barn dance. The wreck wiped out an entire team of the Grotto League, the victims being Lee Merriman, Harold Wolford, Jack Watson, Frank Meredith and Virgil Wheeler. I Joe Fulton has been rolling a very consistent game this year, gaining an average of one 600 session each week. “Ruch” McAllen is another come-back, who is going hot. McGaw has turned serious with his game and as a result is also well up in the Individual average column. Don McNew returned from the West last week and turned in count of 619 to start. Don 600 is easy.

Feature Ring Go for Windy City Pji United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—Louis (Kid) Kaplan, out after the lightweight crown, and Jimmy McLarnin, Pacific Coast boxer, polished off their training today for Tuesday night’s bout. Kaplan, who formerly held the featherweight title, has won eleven lightweight battles in a row.

Flanagan, Charley Riley, Bucky Dahman and John Neimic did a little headline acting on their own hook. Notre Dame’s line ,as usual, provided splendid interference. Fumbles played an important part in Chicago’s 7 to 6 victory over Purdue. Ralph (Tex) Welch, hero against Harvard, fumbled his first play, allowing the Maroons to recover the pigskin and drive to a touchdown. Harmeson Shines The showing of Glen Harmeson, brother of Purdue’s 1925 captain and former star at Manual of Indianapolis was somewhat cheering to Purdue hopes for later season sue* cess. Harmeson displayed beautiful passing form and scored the Boilermakers’ sole touchdown with a sixty-five yard gallop down the field. • Ed Duggan’s Franklin club, sturdy and determined, fought Butler to a standstill and a 7 to 7 tie. Nulf fumbled while returning the initial kickoff of the tilt, the Baptist recovered and drove over the Bulldog line with relentless fire. The locals evened it* up in the second quarter and the Franklin outfit strugged on even terms for the remainder of the conflict. Little Giants Fall Wabash failed to put up the fight expected against the University of lowa eleven and went down under a 38 to 0 score. The Little Giants were on the defensive during the major portion of the fracafe and lowa used many substitutes. The victory was scored on straight footDanville Normal was in form and easily disposed of Muncie Normal, 18 to 0. Earlham threw a scare into the De Pauw camp and the Tigers were forced to ' battle desperately to emerge victorious, 14 to 7. The Quakers got off to a good start and were leading at the half, 7-0. Two touchdowns in the third quarter set Methodist fans in better humor. Evansvilledropped the Rose Poly boys, 19 to 6. Manchester and State Normal battled to a 13-13 deadlock. State Normal freshmen had little difficulty in disposing of Vincennes, 37 to 0. Valparaiso lacked punch and took the count -from Dekalb, 12 to 2.

.„ J HEN Red Grange \Y from the University of 11——J linois he left a record behind him that has made the going tough for ambitious half backs ever since. Recalling the deeds of Grange, Illinois Supporters are inclined to expect too much from the ball carriers of Coach Bob Zuppke. Among the backfieid performers at Illinois there is a young man by the name of Jud Timm, who has made quite an impression. Timm hails from Twin Falls, Idaho. Coach Zuppke was counting strongly on young Timm last fall. In the early training work he broke an arm and was out of school for the rest of the season. When he looked over his squad a few weeks ago Coach Zuppke discovered the name of Timm in the long list of athletes anxious to make the varsity. He is huskier, in every way stronger and is suffering no ill effects from the injury of last fall. He’s sure to make trouble in Big Ten circles.

Owners Gather to Relieve Ban as League Prexy Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—American League directors were scheduled to meet here today formally to relieve Ban Johnson of his duties as president of the organization, but great secrecy surrounded plans for the session. Johnson resigned last spring, but no date for the retirement to take effect was set. He recently has let it be known, however, that he has straightened out his affairs, and is ready to leave. Unless something unforseen occurred, it was thought he would cease to be head of the league before night. E. S. •Barnard of the Cleveland club, a director of the league, was considered Johnson’s most- likely successor.

Several Grid ‘Greats’ Given Jolts In Mid-October Surprise Battles Navy, Alabama, Lafayette and Minnesota Bump Into Upsets; Huge Crowds Attend Feature Tilts.

By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Many of the gridiron great of 1926 failed to survive the mid-October test of 1927 and came tumbling down from the peak Saturday. The Navy, unbeaten since 1925, and claimant to national football honors last season, was sunk by Notre Dame, 19-6. Alabama’s Crimson Tide,’ supreme in Dixie for four years, was conquered by Georgia Tech, 13-0. Lafayette, boasting a two-year undefeated record, was held to a 7-7 tie by West Virginia. Minnesota, pre-season favorite to win the Big Ten title, could get only a 14-14 tie with Indiana. Records Marred The first splotch was made on several unblemished 1927 records, notably Pennsylvania, Columbia, Georgetown, Holy Cross and Carnegie Tech in the East; Ohio State and Purdue in the Big Ten; V. P. I. and Vanderbilt in the South, and Oregon in the Far West. There were plenty of shocks last week scattered from one end of the country to the other. Penn State, beaten by Bucknell, beat Pennsylvania, fresh from a victory over Brown, by a 20-0 score. Yale came bounding back after its Georgia defeat to wallop Brown’s iron men, 19-0. Syracuse crushed Georgetown, leading scorer of the Nation with 182 points, 19*6. N. D. Riders Rockne’s Riders—and he has two or three teams of them—galloped over the Navy in the most important intersectional game thus far this season. Led by Christy Flanagan, Niemic, Riley and Dahman, Notre Dame came from behind to win by a decisive margin and lay the basis for a later claim to the national title, provided the Irish dispose of Indiana, Georgia Tech, Min-

KELSEY United Pre* Staff Correipondent CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—With championship prospects badly upset by a series of unexpected results Saturday, Midwest football teams today started preparation for games next Saturday, which may go far toward deciding gridiron leadership of the season. Northwestern vs. Illinois at Evanston and Michigan vs. Ohio State at Ann Arbor are the most important F,ig Ten games this week. Northwestern’s 19-to-13 defeat of Ohio State Saturday left her a strong contender for the Big Ten championship, but Illinois, stung by Ames’ feat in tying her 12-12 Saturday, may prove a difficult opponent Michigan’s defeat of Wisconsin, 14-0, Saturday left the Wolverines in a strong position, but Ohio State, despite Northwestern’s victory, will be a dangerous opponent. Chicago will play Pennsylvania in a game which will have no bearing on the Big Ten standing. Chicago lost an early-season game, then beat Indiana and unexpectedly took the measure of Purdue last Saturday, 7 to 6. Chicago now is favored to defeat Penn. Notre Dame is fatored to win over Indiana, but an/upset is possible. Notre Dame trounced the Navy, 19 to 6. Indiana held the highly rated Minnesota team to a 14-to-J4 tie.

to be discussed will be the disposition of the case of Sammy Mandell, world lightweight champion, who has shown reluctance to defend his crown. It is expected Mandell will be asked to forfeit his title. He is signed to fight in Chicago Nov. 14 and the association likely will, forego its action if his adversary is picked from the list of Sid Terris, Louis (Kid-) Kaplan and Billy Wallace, logical contenders. Walk Miller, manager of Tiger Flowers, is expected to appear before the commission in behalf of his protege. Miller claims Mickey Walker, who won the title from Flowers, has failed to live up to an agreement to meet Flowers within ninety days. Consideration of the recommendation to bring New York into the association and the repeal of the Federal law prohibiting the interstate transportation of fight films also were expected to be chief topics of discussion at the convention.

Famed Slab Star Retires From Game Walter Johnson Receives Unconditional Rebase From Washington. BY FRANK GETTY United Preas Sports Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—1 tis one of the minor tragedies of baseball that Walter Johnson would have liked to have become manager of the Washington Senators upon his retiremeent as a player. “The Big Train” gave all the best years of his baseball career winning ball games for Washington from the pitching box. Always he looked forward to the day when he could win them from the bench and coaching line. Ambition Denied “I hoped I could finish up my baseball days right here,” Johnson told me in an interview at his home in Alta Vista, just over the Maryland border. And now, after twenty years at the top of the game he loves, the famous pitcher has asked for and received his unconditional release. In justice to Griffith, it must be said that “Bucky” Harris has been getting along pretty well as Washington manager, and that an opening for Johnson would have had to be forced with considerable difficulty. Fans “For” Him As for the fans of Washington, they are in favor of giving Wal. r the ball club, the park and part of the Potomac and letting him do as he likes with them. “It won't be natural without Johnson,’Vsaid Clark Griffith, and the fans, black and white, were echoing the sentiment today. Newark Offer The big fellow is ready to consider any offers that may be made him, including one frem Paul Block, the new owner of the Newark International League Club. Asa manager Johnson would prefer to remain in the majors. Th® club that wants him must be prr • pared not only to pay him well, but to point out the opportunity for a little family life—for Walter Johnson puts his family above everything else.
