Yankees, as Under-Dogs in World Series, May Topple Dope Bucket

A. L. Champs Have Edge in Swatting Comparative Figures Show Yanks Have More Power Than Cards. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. I.—The Yankees are not the goliaths of 1927, but, offensively, they shape up as a more powerful team than the Cardinals. That is, when they are whole and all together. Badly crippled, the Yanks may not be able to muster the needed drive in a short series. The Yankees’ two big guns, Ruth and Gehrig, are better than the Cards’ two big guns. Bottomley and Hafey. Ruth and Gehrig have each driven in 140 runs. Bottomley has driven in 129 runs, leading the St. Louis club in this respect. Hafey has driven in 113. Gehirg has the best batting average of any player on either team, with a mark of ,369. Hafey is the Card’s leading hitter and stands second to Gehrig on both teams, with a mark of .340. The team batting averages follow: Team G. R. H. RBI Pet. Yankees 151 866 1,537 806 .394 Cardinals 151 793 1,490 725 .383 Man for man. the Yanks excell the Cards at every position except left field and catcher. Both regular catchers, Bengough and Wilson, have the same batting average, whiie the Yanks would have the bet hitting center fielder if Combs were in the game. A comparison of the individual batting averages follows: Catchers I Player AB R H RBI Pet. rEengough <Y).... 144 11 38 8 .3AI Wilson (C) 47(1 54 134 59 .364 Collins <Y) 134 18 29 15 .216 First Basemen Cebrlir <Y) 550 135 203 140 .369 Bottomley (C) 564 132 103 129 .324 Second Basemen X' jreri IT) 402 61 133 78 .331 F sch (C) 533 104 163 84 .306 Shortstops 1 nig (Y) 531 87 168 64 .316 IK anville (C) ...355 39 87 34 .245 Third Basemen R oertson (Y) ... 233 28 69 35 .200 High (C) 350 56 101 32 .289 C’gan (Y) ’. 311 33 66 34 .283 Left Fielders Hr fey (C) 506 100 172 113 .340 Mensel (Y) 503 74 152 109 .302 Center Fielders Douthit (C) 635 109 190 43 .299 Durst (Y) .119 14 13 11 .261 Right Fielders Ruth (Y) 527 158 160 140 .319 Harper (C) 232 51 96 61 .296 Holm (C) 374 60 103 42 .275 The Cards have the fastest team, excelling the Yanks by eighty-one stolen bases.

Cards Favored to Annex Laurels; Critic Expects New Yorkers to Be Even More Dangerous as Short-Entiers. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. I.—Next in order to pitching, batting and the “breaks” of baseball, psychology plays a most important part in determining the outcome of any given world series. The New York Yankees are going to be particularly hard to beat this year because they will enter the post-season series

j as the under dogs. As under dogs the Yankees enter the world series against ♦lie St. Louis Cardinals, and as under dogs the Yanks ever have proven that their bite is worse than their bark. The National League champions are quoted favorites to win the coming series at rapidly lengthening odds. The Yankees have hardly one whole ball player on their list of eligibles. Babe Ruth is limping, Tony Lazzeri can hardly spoon home his spaghetti, Lou Gehrig has a goose egg lump on his cranium, Joe Dugan has a trick knee that will jump everywhere except through the hoop, Mark Koenig’s tonsils are heavier than his hitting, while Herb Pennock and Earl Combs, a ball club in themselves, have joined the “dear friends of the radio audience” who will take their world series with a little static. What to Look For Yet to my mind the best indication of what may be expected of the New York club when it faces the Cardinals is to be found in fond recollections of the last series which the Yankees played with the Philadelphia Athletics during the second week in September. The Yankees had listened to the triumphant trumpeting of the Mackmen as the American League lead changed hands while a startled baseball world looked on amazed. And then the Yankees, not much stronger intrinsically than at the present time, arose and spanked those same White Elephants until 1 they squealed for mercy and departed for the West and subsequent j oblivion. When they start anything as un- . der dogs, the Yankees are exceed- ; ingly hard to beat. The Cardinals are logical favorites on form, but ; their American League rivals are likely to mangle the dope sheet. All Seats Sold Attendance figures may be broken ! ones more. Already all the reserved seats, both for New York and St. Louis, have been sold. There will be 40,000 vacancies on Thursday, however, for the boys and girls who don’t mind getting in line outside Yankee Stadium. Little remains to be done. President Heydler today named the two National League umpires who will work the series with Brick Owen and W. A. McGowan. The National arbiters selected were Charles Rigler and Charles Pfirman. Next to the groundkeepers out at .the stadium, about the busiest man in towo is he who is trying, belatedly, to buy tickets. Hoyt and Sherdel for the opener. RAY MAY TURN PRO Jole to Receive Offer From Rickard to Race Ouafi. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Oct.

Resume of Tribe Victory Over Red Wings Sunday in Tittle World Series’ Battle

BY EDDIE ASH Matthews opened the Sunday “little world’s series” encounter in Rochester by getting a single through the box and over second, off Herman Bell. Connolly was tossed out by Gelbert. He tried the hit and run. Gelbert also threw out Haney, Matty reaching third, where he was left when Russell skied to Southworth. Connolly tossed out Layne. Blenkiron made a neat run for Toporcer’s fly near the foul line. Gelbert looked at a third strike facing Swetonic in the opening round. The count went to three and two before Blenkiron walked in the second. He was first up. Spencer followed with a long liner that Southworth hooked near the ropes In left center. Warstler’s loop single to right sent “Blenkie” to third. Thereupon W’alter Holke made his first plate appear-

DOPE GOES WRONG IN OPENING GRID TILTS

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Tne college boys did a mighty neat job Saturday of jostling their way into the sport spotlight even if they were forced, in several instances, to knock Old Dame Dope for a "loop” in opening gridiron contests over the Nation. Right here in the Middle West Notre Dame bucked up against a tough package in Loyola of New Orleans, and Rockne’s “Fighting Irish” were hard pressed to turn in a 12-to-6 triumph over the Southerners. Pete Vaughan’s 1928 edition of the "Little Giants” quite ably demonstrated the fact that “Wabash always fights!” by holding Pat

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

* Hornsby Takes Batting Honors Bp United Press BOSTON, Oct. I.—Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Boston Braves has won the National League batting championship for the seventh time in the past nine years, with an unofficial average of ,387. Hornsby led his league in batting in 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925. Paul Waner, last year’s batting king, was second this season and Freddie Lindstrom of the New York Giants third.

ance in the series and bounced into a double play, Toporcer to Gelbert to Monahan, and “Blenkie” was left stranded. Manager Southworth was up first for Rochester in the second and grounded to Holke. Kaufmann popped to Connolly. Monahan was up next and he filed to “Blenkie” at the edge of the left field. ‘SPECS’’ TOPORCER TOSSED OUT BOTH SWETONIC. MATTHEWS AND CONNOLLY IN THE THIRD, THREE IN A ROW, AND EASY CHANCES ALL. Ira Smtih got the first hit off Swetonic to open the Red Wings’ | half of the third. He met the first | pitch for a ringing single to center. Morrow, the Indiana youth, next up, was thrown out from deep short by Warstler, Smith taking second. Beil took three swings and fanned. Swetonic pitched three balls and one strike to Layne and then the Red Wing centerfielder lined to Warstler. Fred Haney led off with a safety to center in the fourth. Russell hit a slow one on the handle for an easy fly to Kaufmann. Toporcer and Monahan worked on Blenkiron, Haney moving up. The count went to three and one on Spencer and then he walked. With two out Warstler sent a hopper at Toporcer and it struck a bod spot and bounced over Toporeer’s head for a single, Haney scoring and Spencer taking third. It was the first run of the struggle. Warstler stole second, Haney holding third when Morrow made a short throw. With the count two and two Holke looped a double to left near the foul line, scoring Spencer and Warstler. Ira Smith got Swetonic to retire the side. In the Rochester fourth Toporcer led off and heat out a hit in deep short. Warstler made the long throw, but "Specs” was there ahead of it. Matthews went to deep center for Southworth’s fly. Kaufmann’s low liner was snuffed out by W’arstler. Matty sent a slow roller to Toporcer and was tossed out to start the fifth. Connolly drew a free ticket. Layne fumbled Haney’s single in short center and Connolly

hits, several being flukey rollers. Nine pitchers saw service. The rivals took turns at being out in front and also on taking it on the chin and the crowd was frantic. The Indians made four errors and the Red Wings five. But neither side would give up and it was a strenuous strain on players, fans, box storekeepers and telegraph operators. About 8,700 fans witnessed the affair. Perfect Day for Bud Bud Connolly got five hits in a row, including a double, after he drew a walk and hit a sacrifice fly. And he accepted thirteen chances, eight being assists and five putouts. Going into the eighth trailing, 8 to 5, the Hoosiers staged a terrific rally and scored six runs, making the game count stand H to 8 in their favor. In the ninth the Tribe got another marker and it was 12 to 8 as the Red Wings went into bat in the ninth. A wild Red Wing commotion occurred and Rochester tallied four times to even the score at 12 and 12. Connolly Nails Layne A bad hop roller that struck a rut and got away from Connolly for an infield hit saw the tying run go over. Bud made a dive and recovered the sphere in time to nail Harry Layne at the plate with what would have been the winning run. Three more innings followed, all scoreless. The umpires wanted to call the fracas at the end of the eleventh but were ordered by the commissioners to send the teams another round. The sphere hardly could be followed in that twelfth After two were out Southworth singled, Kaufmann doubled and Monahan was walked purposely. Leverett then fanned Ira Smith, and the clubs were right where they had started. Pitchers used by Indians Saturday wefe Yde, Boone, Burwell and Leverett. Rochester used five, Irvin, Keen, Decatur, Hal Smith and McCracken.

Page’s Indiana University eleven to a 14-to-0 count. The University of South Carolina turned the veteran A. A. Stagg into somewhat of an able prognosticator by dropping Chicago, 6-to-0.

Wings went to bat in the sixth and Swetonic walked Toporcer, who was first up. Gerbert planted a single in center, Toporcer stopping at second. Gelbert had fanned on his two previous plate trips. Manager Southworth forced Gelbert, Connolly to Warstler, Toporcer reaching third and Southworth was safe at first. Kaufmann sent a sacrifice fly to Matthews, Toporcer scoring.

the opening collegiate football tilts played Saturday. While scouts from the camps of every opponent on Indiana University’s schedule held seats in the I. U. stadium, sly Pat Page split up his group of veterans, interjected some of his promising sophomores and turned in a double victory at Bloomington, the Reserves taking into camp Indiana State Normal, 39-0, and the varsity beating Wabash, 14-0. The scouts expecting to fill a couple of notebooks with Page’s pet plays were greatly fooled. They saw nothing more than old-style straight football and some very excellent punting. Wabash Is Stubborn A lack of good punting hurt the Terre Haute squad against the Crimson reserves. Wabash put up a stubborn battle, mostly because they had Indiana plugging up hill, because of the splendid punting by Bayer. Capt. Bennett did some nice ball toting and scored twice. Certainly the two games demonstrated that I. U. is due to upset somebody in a six game conference schedule. Notre Dame eked out a last minute victory over Loyola of New Orleans. That game nearly produced a sensational early season upset for the nation to talk aboct. The Southerners, a veteran group, drew first blood in the second period when Lopez wiggled through the center of the Irish line for five yards and a touchdown. Poor Judgment Used Rockne was using first a regular line and a second string backfield, and then reversing the system. Elder skirted an end in third period to tie the count at six-all. The game was about to end that way when Loyola came through with a poor judgment play. A Notre Dame forward pass was headed for incompletion in the end zone and a touchback for Loyola. The ball was batted back Into the field of play and grounded by a slow thinking Loyola back. The Irish seized the break and Shay plunged over with the winning touchdown. Saturday night marketing was put off while Cincinnati University followers went out and watched their team hand Hanover a 20-0 defeat under flood lights. The Hilltoppers played a much better game than last year and Coach (Red) Money should have his team going strong when it hits Earlham next Saturday. Earlham Wins Easily Earlham, with a large number of regulars in the lineup, defeated an unusually strong Antioch team at Richmond, 25-0. The Quakers presented a fair defense, which, however, must be strengthened for future games against Indiana opponents. Concordia was no match for the Muncie Cardinals and Coach Paul Parker used every combination he had in running the count to 52-0. Valparaiso joined Hanover in suffering defeat outside the State. They last to Albion at Albion Mich., 12-0. Purdue University staged its annual regulation game between varsity and freshmen. When Welch. Harmeson, Caraway, Cook and others finished galloping, the varsity held a 52 to 6 victory. De Pauw, Butler, Rose Poly, Evansville and Manchester did not get Into competition. Last Friday Indiana Central upset Franklin. 13-0. and Danville Normal defeated Oakland City, 26-0. St. Mary's Opens 3ft I’nitcd Prena SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. I.—The St. Mary’s College football team, winners over Stanford last year, opened the 1928 season here Sunday with an unimpressive 12-to-0 victory over the West Coast Army team.

‘Haig’ Starts Defense of Pro Crown Sir Walter Strong Favorite to Retain Pro Golfing Honors. By United Press BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. I.—Sixtyfour professional golfers set out today over the Five Farms fairways of Maryland in quest of the championship held by the sixty-five members of the party, Walter Hagen, British open and P. G. A. titleholder. The Professional Golfers’ Association title has been won by “Sir Walter” four years In succession, and he has no intention of relinquishing it this year without a battle. Johnny Farrell, American open champ, and a number of other prominent pros were missing from the list, but the field which sought to dethrone Hagen included several strong contenders for the title. As usual, Hagen was a strong favorite to retain this crown. Farrell’s absence was due to his failure to qualify in the metropolitan district trials, the open champion having been over-golfed through a strenuous but profitable exhibition campaign. Harris May Lose Managerial Job Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—Reports that “Bucky” Harris, youthful manager of the Washington Senators, would not direct the team next year were circulated here today without confirmation. Harris was repored to feel he should have a renewal of his SIOO,000 contract for the next three years as a result of the showing of the Senators whereas other reports said the management does not believe Harris has developed sufficient strength from the raw material provided for him. A definite announcement is expected shortly, RICHARDS WINS TITLE Downs Kozeltih in Final Tilt for Pro Net Honors. By Times Special FOREST HILLS. N. Y„ Oct. 1.-.
