four straight in 1914. Critics insisted the Athr letics curled up, quit cold. - That was not only unfair to the Athletics, but to the Braves as well, for it tended to discredit the victory of the National Leaguers. The Braves of that year were an inspired team';

the Athletics a nonchalant, selfsatisfied aggregation, that had grown careless as the result of too much succcess . Very few will argue that Boston was four straight games better than the Athletics in 1914; yet that was the margin in the world ' series. • • • PIRATES WERE FIGHTERS —TIOW comes the story that the Pirates quit under pressure - J and failed to play anywhere near top form. Never was a greater injustice done a ball club. Possibly the Pirates we-e out on their feet when they entered the world series, but it wasn’t lack of tourage that caused them to take a quick count. It took a game ball club to win a pennant in so hectic a struggle as was waged in the National League during the past season. I regard Pittsburgh’s feat in taking four straight from the Chicago Cubs, after having lost three out of four to New York, thereby cutting their lead to a game and one-half, one of the most courageous performances in the annals of baseball. The Pirates, a tired team, met the Yankees, stepping at their best, and were outclassed. No one will argue that, ordinarily, the New York team is four straight better than Pittsburgh, but they were in the recent series. * * * TWO VETERANS GONE mHE life of a ball player Is a most precarious one, literally a hero today, a has-been tomorrow. The other day the Philadelphia Athletics announced the release of the two veteran outfielders. Zach Wheat and “Baby Doll” Jacobson. It was just three years ago that Jacobson had one of his best years and was rated one of the most valuable outfielders in the American League, and, in the spring following, proved a most persistent hold-out. When it came to signing with the St. Louis Browns he asked something like $3,000 more than Owner Phil Ball believed he was worth. The head of the St. Louis club refused to budge from his position despite the fact that the Browns needed Jacobson badly. President Johnson, a close friend of Ball, finally stepped into the breach, signing Jacobson. It is said he paid the difference from his own bank roll. Just a few seasons have passed and we find every major league club waiving on the same Jacobson. Usually when a player starts to slip he goes bapk quickly.

State-Wide Interest in Notre Dame-Indiana Grid Tilt Saturday

Manager for Braves Soon to Be Named Speaker Leading Candidate, With Collins and Cobb Also Mentioned. Bn United Press , „ „ _ NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The names of Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins, three of baseball’s greatest stars, have been linked with the Boston Braves through speculation over a manager for.that team next season. Davy Bancroft was given his release recently as manager and shortstop of the Braves, and later he signed the Brooklyn Robins to play shortstop. “We have two or three men under consideration, and expect to sign one of them this week,” Judge Emil Fuchs, president of the Braves, said today. Cobb and Collins still are the property of the Philadelphia Athletics and Speaker belongs to Washington, and for the Braves to get 'any one of the trio waivers would be necessary. However, it is doubtful if any American League club would be willing to meet the salary demands .of any of them as a regular player. Since Speaker played with the Red Sox during the heights of their power, he is regarded' as the leading possibility of the three men mentioned in the rumors. Broken Bones in Two Washington Football Camps Oct; 18.—Steve •Bar abas, slashing full back of Georgetown University, broke his leg in the game with Syracuse Saturday and will be out of the line-up for the remainder of the season, Coach Little announced today. Loss of Captain Allshouse, who broke his ankle in a game against Rutgers Saturday, reduces the George Washington University football squad to fourteen members and handicaps the school in its battle against Fordnam next Saturday.

One of Hoosierdom’s outstanding grid features is to be enacted in memorial stadium at Bloomington Saturday between the latest edition of Knute Rockne’s University of Notre Dame cavalry and Pat Page's rejuvenated Indiana University grid squad. A splendid touch was added the contest when the Crimson held Minnesota’s powerful giant eleven to a 14 to 14 tie last Saturday.
