Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—There are a number of Interesting individuals on the roster of the St. Louis Cardinals, who incidentally, are leading the National League by a two- game margin. One of them Is a jumpy, gabby, bony-faced, little gent who reminds you of an old steeple-chase jockey in appearance and who plays short. Mr. Walter Maranville by name. nan They call him Rabbit, a tribute to his younger days when he ranged the infield with the nervous speed and energy of the sagebrush cottontails. nan The Rabbit is nearing forty these days and nine-tenths of his career is behind him. Still he is one of the important reasons why the Cardinals are on top. When Tommy Thevenow broke a leg and failed to come around the Rabbit, rescued from the minors the fall before, stepped in and sealed the infield fissure. nan ONCE the play-boy of the National League, the lead tenor In sour stomach quartets, the champion sun dodger of the works, the original where-do-we-go-from-here guy. the Rabbit is now' an evenpoised, serious minded, right living athlete whose principal dissipations are Clara Bow pictures and Major Hoople comics. nan THE RABBIT WAS STARRING AS FAR BACK AS 1914, WHEN HE WAS THE SPARK PLUG OF THE CHAMPION BRAVES, AND 50 PER CENT OF A GREAT DOUBLEPLAY COMBINATION. JOHNNY EVERS, THE HUMAN CRAB, WAS THE OTHER HALF. a a M But, the Rabbit is now a reasonable sedate, middle-aged man with ambitions to manage a major or a fast minor league team. He once managed the Chicago Cubs for a month or so. celebrating his appointment by whipping a squad of taxicab drivers In the Loop. “T was just plain nuts in those days” he admits.

Fii United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Sept. 22. St. Louis is suffering another attack of pennantitis. With the Cardinals two games out In front and with nine games to go, pennant “Ifs” have become the prevailing pastime. “Fans morale” is definitely on the upswing. Scores of Red Bird rooters have sent telegrams to Rabbit Maranville to forget his recent costly error. Others have sent congratulatory wires to George Harper. Every play of every. Inning of every game now on is a matter of vital importance to thousands of St. Louisans, who know where the tickers and radios are and who make good use of them.

Race Going* to Last Day for Decision—Yde Keeps Indians on Top by Great Hurling* Friday—Many Fielding Features. BY EDDIE ASH The week-end will tell it. And Indianapolis fans feel confident the Indians will produce and bring the first pennant since 1917 to Washington Park. From the manner in which Minneapolis has been mauling the Brewers it is apparent the Betzelites face the task of taking their three remaining games in order to finish on top.

Minneapolis has two tilts left at Milwaukee, one today and one Sunday, while the Indians meet Toledo in a single tilt this afternoon and in a doubleheader Sunday. There was no change in the situation this morning as both contenders won Friday, the Tribe beating the Hens, 5 to 1, and the Millers romping over the Brewers, 12 to 5. 16 Out of 19 The Indians have annexed sixteen of their last nineteen starts, but despite that run of victories they are still in a precarious position with only a half-game lead. Emil Yde kept the locals on top Friday by pitching a remarkable game, allowing only three hits, two coming in the ninth. After Rawlings singled in the first round the Hens were held hitless until the same Rawlings crashed a home run in the last stanza and Crawford connected for a single. Yde struck out four Hens, walked three and hit one. In five of the nine rounds only three men faced him to the inning. He wavered slightly under the strain in the eighth after getting the first two hitters, but escaped after walking two, when Matthews captured Fullis’ long fiy. In the ninth Moore skied to Matty and Rawlings followed with a towering swat over the low fence in left field. Veach was struck by a pitched ball and Crawford singled to right. But Ydfe recovered his poise and struck out Koehler and then caused Messner to bounce to Connolly, ending the game. Tribe Gets to Barnes Fred Haney sent the first Indian run home in the third when he slashed a double to the left field corner, scoring Connolly, who had singled. And in the fourth the locals solved Barnes for two more markers on singles by Blenklron and Holke, and Warstler’s •triple. Koenecke doubled Connolly home in the fifth and Holke singled Blenkiron across in the eighth, with Smith pitching. The Friday contest was filled with fielding features from the outset and players of both sides received liberal applause from the crowd of 3,500. It was "ladies’ day” and feminine rooters made up half the throng.

Shortstop Warstler was a big help Friday. He had six assists and on nearly every one it was necessary to hurry the throw. The plays were close and the Aabblt had to make swift and accurate pegs. Walter Holke clutched every throw with a firm grip. He was taking no chances. He reached low and wide for a Connolly assist in the second Inning, bat managed to keep a toe on the sack to retire the runner. Barnes showed some wonderful twirling in the second. Indians were on third and second with none out and failed to score. Barnes fanned Spencer, got Koenecke at the plate on WarUler’s bounder and then struck out Yde. Bud Connolly grabbed everything within reach and had four putouts and six assists. He got two hits and scored each time. Moore cheated Haney in the seventh when he made a wild dash Into right center and snared Fred's drive by a back-handed stab. And Moore wasn’t grandstanding for it was the only way he could make the catch. Shortstop Cortazzo pulled Connolly’s liner out of the air in the seventh with one hand. It was a sizzling shot. The Friday contest ■was errorless. It Fas one of the best exhibitions of defensive play staged at the park this season. • Cartano, Hen shertstopper. reminds the veteran fans of Jap Rarbeao. a prominent flgore in the A. A. years ago. Bobble Veaeh went deep for Matty's left center fly in the first. Fans cheered lustily whenever Blenkiron and Koenecke, Tribe rookies, delivered. Blenkle poked out three singles and stole a base and Koenecke polea a single and double. Koeiteeke’s doable went by CartsTto like a rifle shot and skipped into left eenler. Johnny RswUngo get two of the three hits off Yde. Johnny snared Koeneeke’s shoe-top liner in the third round and doubled Haney off third. The veteran turned In a good day’s work. Warstler’s triple in the fourth took a sharp hop away from Moore and scooted down the foul line. BARNHART INELIGIBLE Star Minnesota Half Back Ruled Out Account Scholastic Trouble.

On the campus he is known as Coquille Thompson, but back in his home town or, rather, on his reservation, he is known as Chief Hus Hegh. The chief is a big fellow of about 208 pounds, and Coach Paul Schissler says he ought to make a great full back as he is a terrific line smasher, punter and passer. He is shown here getting away a long punt.

Weather Cannot Cheat Tribe Out of Pennant Chance

As The Times pointed out recei tly, the weather can not cheat the Indians out of their full share of the schedule if the results of games washed out would have a bearing on the pennant or a tie. And the same holds good for Minneapolis in its remaining tilts with the Brewers. For instance, a single game is scheduled here today and a dou-ble-header Sunday, and if rain intereferes with any of the contests the season between Indians and Hens will be prolonged after Sunday to get in any postponements if said arrangement would affect the

He is one of the leading punters, passes accurately, and can slip off tackle and through a broken field about as well as Flanagan himself. Chevigny is not as versatile as Niemiec, but when it comes to carrying the ball he won’t have to step out of the spotlight. He alsc plays a strong defensive game.

Wagner, the veteran athletic director and basketbell coach of Franklin Friday, it was an agreed opinion that the great Jury of alumni and athletic fans today is the toughest group of persons on earth to get a fair trial from. It is history that the coach who wins sticks, the one who loses moves out, and very rarely is it taken into consideration the material with which the coach was obliged to work with. Butler seems too be taking hold of the reins at Franklin in a de-

championship. It’& anew rule in the A. A. and was adopted only within the last year, and it is believed the A. A. is the only circuit having the rule. President Hickey apparently was unaware of the rule until The Times commented on it and Secretary Clauer of the Tribe called his attention to its presence in the league bylaws. Thereupon Hickey sent the following wire to Clauer Friday: “You are right. If games scheduled with Toledo are postponed should they decide championship, must be played off.’'

When the Indiana Central College' football team opens its season next Friday at Franklin, at one tackle position will be Capt. Dave Vance, 190-pound husky who has played in every game the Greyhounds have participated in for the last two years. The I. C. leader Is a junior and one of the most dependable men on the squad.

termined and veteran-like manner. He appears well-liked and has the squad, which numbers twentyseven, well under control. The veteran, 1927 regular*, on the squad are Cliff Easter, giant tackle, and little "Red" Green, an end. Also back are Sanders, a sub guard last season: Andrews, sub-end, and Shirley and Wooden, sub backs. It Is a difficult problem to take a group of high school boys, and the Franklin squad appears In size the equal of Just a good high school team, and get victories from them. It Is extremely difficult when such teams as Butler. Earlham, De Pauw, Indiana State Normal. Central Normal. Indiana Central. Muncie Normal and Evansville are to be played. "Red’’ Green will oe on one end. Eaater will be at a tackle post. Sanders. 186pounder, undoubtedly will be at guard. All have been on Franklin's (earn before. Norris, one of six Kirklin boys who came here after graduating last June, will be at center. Combs Is lilely to be the other guard. Henderson, > sophomore, Is out for tackle and because of his size is likely to get it. Andrews, a sub-end last year, will finish out the line. Backfield material is lacking, Joe Rohrabaugh. quarter back at Kirklin last fall very likely will call signals. Surface, another newcomer, probably will he at full back. Two subs on former teams, Shirley and Underwood will be the likely half backs. That composes the team Franklin will trot out against Butler In the big F.rirview stadium Oct. 13. and If there was any time Franklin will need veteran material It will be for that game. Checking up on the reserve line candidates, we find that size is lacking. Ends are Sims and Longwell of Kirklin: Burgett, Franklin, tackle; Templeton, guard. Aspiring ball toters are In abundance. Backs available are Arnold. Indianapolis; Miller, Gary; Downey, Kirklin; Turner, Niles. Mich.; Freeman and Ragsdale, Franklin, and Virt, Indianapolis. Vlrt formerly was on the T ( ech High School squad. Miller was a former track star at Gary. ( Arnold Is about the best punter on th© squad. We didn't see a thing that resembled a drop kicker, and from a passing standpoint. Rohrahaugh. Shirley and Underwood seem about the best on deck. Experience Is needed to develop a strong passing attack and the entire Franklin team needs experience. Coach Butler cannot be accused of stepping Into a rosy situation. He should be given a fair and impartial trial to present his side of the story. TODAY’S SELECTIONS HAVRE DE GRACE Autumn Bloom. Minotaur. Mint Smash. Neddie, Too High, Shipmaster. Oh Susana.
