Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The veteran, Arthur Vance —The Dazzler, they call him—-fanned seven batters Wednesday while he was handing the flustered St. Louis Cardinals a 6-1 setback. His seventh victim toppled in the ninth inning and was a righthanded hitter, Douthit, the center fielder. There was nothing particularly dramatic about the situation, for the Brooklyns had moved into a commanding lead. Yet to the Dazzler it meant a great deal to strike out this batter and close the game. It his custom to pitch against all batters with the meticulous care of an English valet eliminating a flake of dust from the surface of a silk topper, but against Douthit he pitched with extraordinary care. a a a The first pitch was a fast one that nipped the inside corner and the pudgy Rigler raised his right arm and bellowed, “Strike.” The next one was in the same spot and Douthit swung. It was a foul ball and it meant another strike. a a a THEY threw another ball out of Dazzler and he rubbed it labor - edly into the palm of his oil-soaked glove. He stepped into the box, took his wind up and let fly with a tremendous pitch. When Douthit swung and missed there was a rush for Vance. Bancroft, captain of the team, shook his hand. The chilled fans streamed over the rails and surrounded him. Deberry, the catcher, tried to save the ball. Three festive flatbushers took it away from him, using nothing more persuasive than physical violence, and hoped there would be no hard feeling. a a a THIS WAS THE BALL WITH WHICH THE DAZZLER HAD STRUCK OUT HIS 200TH MAN OP THE YEAR. WHEN HE START-. ED THE GAME WEDNESDAY HE HAD TWO AMBITIONS. ONE WAS TO BEAT THE CARDINALS, THE OTHER WAS TO STRIKE OUT SEVEN MEN. HIS STRIKEOUT TOTAL WAS 193. SEVEN WOULD GIVE HIM AN EVEN 200 FOR THE SEASON. tt a a Only twice before during a career that had its professional begining back in 1912 had he been able to fan as many as 200 or more batters. In 1924 he fanned 262, his greatest year, and in 1925 he fanned 221. The following year he skidded to 140, and last year his total was 184. a tt tt The Dazzler pitched one of his great games Wednesday to score his twenty-second victory of the year with one of the most mediocre ball clubs in captivity. Except for a lapse of control in the first inning when he walked four batters to force in the league leaders’ only run he was as hard to hit as a dancing moonbeam, and twice as mysterious.

Giants and Cardinals Remain in Hectic Struggle for Bunting

Eastern Grid Season Opens on Saturday Army, Navy Face Toughest Foes in Opening Conflicts. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The first shot in the annual fall gridiron campaign will be fired along the eastern sector Saturday. A few of the outstanding teams—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown and Georgetown—do not play their opening games until Oct. 6, but a larger part of the eastern schools open pigskin warfare Saturday. Most of the games are expected to prove little more than workouts for the major elevens. The Army and Navy apparently have the two stiffest games, but even they may not be hard once Biff Jones and “Navy Bill” Ingram place their array of stars on the field. Boston University held the Army to two touchdowns last year, and Saturday will try to register the first major upset of the season. Davis-Elkins is primed for the Navy. The Middies have been retarded by illness and injuries, but should repeat their 27-to-0 victory of last year. The principal eastern football games scheduled for Saturday include: Columbia vs. Vermont at New York. New York U. vs. Niagara at New York. Cornell vs. Clarkson at Ithaca. Dartmouth vsc. Norwich at Hanover. Penn State vs. Lebanon valley at State College. Pennsylvania vs. Urslnus at Philadelphia. Syracuse vs. Hobart at Syracuse. Navy vs. Davis-Elkins at Annapolis. Army vs. Boston U. at West Point. Pittsburgh vs. Thell at Pittsburgh. W. and J. vs. Bethany at Washington. Pa. Boston College vs. Catholic U. at Boston. Colgate vs. St. Lawrence at Hamilton, N. Y. Indiana Central Opposes Franklin FRANKLIN, Ind., Sept. 28. Franklin College football team was to open its season here this afternoon against the strong Indiana Central eleven. Twenty-four Greyhound players arrived here early this afternoon ready for the contest. For the first time since the two teams have been playing, the Indianapolis eleven reigned a pregame favorite. SCORE THREE TIMES NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 28.—/ Yale’s first string football team scored three touchdowns on the scrubs in a half-hour scrimmage Thursday. CATHOLIC U. AT BOSTON BOSTON, Sept. 28.—The Catholic University grid squad arrived here today from Washington to play Boston College Saturday. The real strength of the visitors is unknown.

National League Deadlock Looms as Possibility; Rivals Clash Sunday. RECORD MOB EXPECTED Playoff Series May Be Necessary. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The possibility of a postponement of the world series, scheduled to start next Thursday, arose today when it became apparent that there was considerable chance of the National League pennant race ending in a tie between the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardmals. The New York Yankees are safely in line for their third successive American League - championship, and cannot be beaten unless they lose all their remaining games and the Philadelphia Athletics win three straight. One Game Ahead In the National League, the Cardinals lead by one game and have three more to play, the last with the Giants themselves at the Polo Grounds Sunday. All the reserved seats for this final game have been sold and a record crowd is anticipated. The Giants have two more games to play with the Chicago Cubs before they meet the Cardinals, who are playing the Boston Braves today and Saturday. The standing: St. Loul* 93 58 .616 New York 9? 59 .609 It can be see nat a glance that if the Giants do as well against the Cubs as the Red Birds do at Boston, both winnig two, for example, the leaders will meet on Sunday with St. Louis still leading by a single game. And should the Giants win that Sunday game, the standing will be: St. Louis 95 59 .617 New York 95 59 .617 “Three Game Series” Under the rules, they would then engage in a "three game” series to decide the championship. The Giants figured to beat the Cubs today and Saturday, the Cards to defeat the Braves two straight. Which would make Sunday’s ball game one of the classics of baseball history such as has not been seen since 1908 when New York and Chicago had to play an extra game to decide the championship. TO CLOSE SEASON Mars Hill will close its baseball season Sunday against the Dodge Brothers nine.' All players are requested to report Sunday. The manager of the Dodge team is requested to call Belmont 1018-M. SIGN GRID CONTRACT Bv United Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 23. Ohio State University and University of Pittsburgh officials have signed a two-year football contract, the first game to be played Nov. 2, 1929, at Pittsburgh. A return game will be played here either in 1930 or 1931.
