Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—For once a New York club is likely to find itself the sentimental favorite to win the world series. For some reason there is a general antagonism to Metropolitan success in the fall tournament. This is due perhaps to the virtual monopoly the Yankees and the Giants have exercised on one or both parts of the championship play-offs since 1920. If one team hasn’t been in the series, the other has and on three occasions both of them were. an a Another thing that contributes to the hinterland hostility is the popular belief that the Ner York championships are “bought and paid for.” The fiction exists that whenever Mr. McGraw or Mr. Huggins wants a desirable player he writes out a check for no less than one million smackers an 1 crams it down the reluctant tonsil of a weaker brother magnate. a a tt So when one of the commercially weaker clubs comes along and jimmies its way into the playoffs in opposition to the capitalistic New York entry, National or American, the outlanders’ sympathies automatically go with it. Their attitude is, or has been, that they don’t care who wins as long as it isn’t a New York team. u tt tt THIS year, however, there are faint indications a victory for the Yankees might not result in Nation-wide demonstrations, reprisals, protests and the hanging of Col. Jacob Ruppert and Cousin Egbert Barrow in effigy in the town square. The news dispatches disclose that when the scores were posted in the west the other p. m. showing the race was over and the Yankees “in" there was, instead of the customary boos, catcalls and mule brays a mild ripple of applause. f tt There’s something about the spectacle of a great tragedian clinging grimly to the fragments j of a shattered glory that stirs the j most hardened critic. Mr. Hug- j gins’ predicament as the race en- j tered the final phases was something like this. He had little left beyond the skeleton of what was at the start of the season the greatest club in baseball. a tt THAT HE WAS ABLE TO FIGHT OFF j THE ATTACK OF HIS MOST FORMIDABLE FOE AND THEN TAKE TO THEi ROAD IN ENEMY TERRITORY TO SCORE HIS THIRD SUCCESSIVE FLAG VICTORY WAS NO HAM-AND-EGG ACCOMPLISHMENT. TT SHOULD BE NO PART OF A SURPRISE TO LEARN THAT THE BOYS AND GIRLS IN ALIEN PORTS ARE PULLING FOR HIM TO BRING HIS MAGNIFICENT INVALIDS HOME IN FRONT OF THE CARDS. tt tt tt Your correspondent wishes to repeat that you never can tell what is going to happen in a world series and while the Yankees may looi; whipped before they start because of the absence of Pennock, Combs and Moore to say nothing of the crippled condition of Lazzeri, Koenig and Ruth, nevertheless, he feels that it is going to take more than a few casual passes at Mr Huggins’ chin to settle the mattei. j

Just the Same to Alex By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Grover Cleveland Alexander of the Cards, is not much excited about the series. “Oh,” he observed, “it’s just a few more ball games. They either do or they don’t. It’s no different from a town lot game. If the pitcher strikes the batter out he’s a hero. If he doesn’t, he’s a bum. That’s all there Is to It.”

Cardinals 2-to-l Favorites —Indians and Wings Set for Action

Baseball Men Regard Mound City Club as Easy Victor. NATIONAL CLUB COCKY Red Birds Take Fast Workout in Gotham. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—The odds which favor the St. Louis Cardinals to win the world series lengthened today to 2-to-l. As baseball men from all parts of the country gather in New York today, the talk concerns not so much the probable winner of the series as it does how many games will have to be played before Sam Breadon’s club registers its second victory over the American League pennant win- | ners. I Two years ago, when New York J and St. Louis met in the world 1 series, the Yankees were favorites, j and it needed all the uncanny skill of “Old Pete” Alexander to turn the tide in favor of the Cardinals. This year, thus far, the National League champions are the logical favorites. The Yanks are so crippled they will have to enter the series with an experimental ball club—and experience of the past has demonstrated that a world series is no place to experiment. The Cardinals, with four good pitchers ready for work, as compared with two reliable performers on the Yankee pitching staff, went through a fast workout Monday and emerged cocky and self-satisfied. “We ought to win, and win within six games,” Bill McKechnie, man* ager of the National League champions declared. Miller Huggins is not given to predictions. It is hard, in fact, to get the diminutive managkr of the Yankees to admit that it is a pleasant day, even if the sun is shining and the thermometer registers 76 in the shade. Yet Huggins has been stirred up by talk that his club is going to be an easy victim in the forthcoming series, and Huggins is ready to tell the world the American League champions are out ts) win. COMBS MAY PLAY Wrist Not Fractured and Yank Star May See Action. R’t United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 2.—Earl Combs still has a chance to get in the world’s series, according to Dr. George King of St. Vincent Hospital. The Yankee outfielder may be able to play when the series is resumed in St. Louis. An examination showed the wrist was not fractured.

Brown Faces Task at Rose Poly; Confronted With Lack of Material Terre Haute School Cinches 1928 Honors for Smallest Squad: Players Are Inexperienced.

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Oct. 2. For several years Rose Poly and j Franklin have waged a battle for the honor of which has) the smallest turnout of aspirants for football. It appears that Rose Poly | has the 1928 honois cinched. ! Phil Brown, former Butler star, who stepped into the athletic directorship and coaching job here this fall was “disappointed, but not discouraged,” he said, as he worked with twenty men on the Rose Poly field today priming the “Fightin’ Engineers” for their first battle of the season with Indiana Central here next Saturday. Irown has the additional worries of getting his team into shape to meet even a stronger Indiana Central team than usual, one which defeated Franklin last Friday, 13-0. ' Brown’s largest turnout thus far

Harris and Griffith conferred at the latter’s office at the ball park during the morning. The former breaker-boy who led the Senators to two pennants and one world championship was the first to emerge from the room. To newspaper men who asked him what took place, he said: “Go up and see Griff.” Harris came to the Washington club in 1919 from Buffalo as a second baseman. He was appointed manager in January, 1924. The following season he won the American League pennant and the world’s championship. Harris’ successor was not named by Griffith. HUDDLE IS ABANDONED Bill Roper to Use Old-Style Signal Calling for Tigers. liu United Press PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 2. Princeton has abandoned the huddle.

“Bucky” Harris

Announcement was made today that Stanley (Bucky) Harris, young manager of the Washington Senators for the last five years, would not pilot the American League club in 1929.

The nig event gets under way in New York Thursday. Farrell will be in the press box at each game, ready to write as soon as the contest is over an exclusive article for The Times. The Farrell articles will be short and meaty—and interesting from the first word to the last. Remember—in this city the Farrell articles will appear exclusively in The Times.

was the first practice when the total ran to twenty-eight. Now it is down to twenty and that includes a couple of hopeless “cripples.” Taking a seat on the players’ bench at a practice session of the “Engineers” it was not long until Brown had his squad showing their real wares for us. It is a sad affair when a coach must stop and explain to his men during a blocking and charging drill that their left shoulders were the ones to the east. Probably because he realized that the direction was unknown to many of them, he added that a passing freight train was going east. Practice these days at Rose Poly almost entirely is given over to fundamentals. Brown feels that if his squad has but three or four plays, and executes them correctly, it will go farther than a long string of plays. In Brown’s case, that belief probably is correct. The end problem, perplexing any way one figures, finds Capt. John Derry, a good tackle, but only a fair end, at one win e,\ Inexperience crops out with Tonettl. a Clinton boy holding the other wing Maxwell of Brazil Is after a Job and Is likely to see service.

If one figures the boys right, Kemp is likely to be there. *u Th , er / is brawn in the guard group, but the lads are weak on fundamentals. Thus their weight proves of little asset. O’Mara and Dillinghaw, veterans, are built enough alike to be twins, but they won’t be in there together because a young man from Brazil, Pratt, has it on them. “Big Mike” Ellis, one of the leading tackle candidates, is working hard this fall to improve his speed. When they are In Mike s reach they usually go down, and plenty hard. Ed White should make one of the tackle berths if he becomes accustomed to attending practice regularly. Nickerson. Gibbens and Bruce are guard material. They are “green” stock to try to whip into shape with the opening game a week off. Eldred, former Garfield High School star, appears to be a big asset to the team as his quarterback play is pretty ”hot.” The whispering campaign” has struck here and we heard he might not be eligible. For the sake of a few chances Rose has for a winning team, we hope the gossips are wrong again. DeVVitt of Louisville rates far behind Eldred. After him there isn’t any. Punting and one halfback position will be taken care of by “dapper” John Colley. Ripheson and Abe Silversteln, are about all Phil has for the other berth. A couple of boys from Struthers. Ohio, Smith and Adams, are trying for jobs. Adams would be a gamble. He has a tendency to run In circles and might end up any time headed for the wrong goal line. There is a problem at fullback and Richeson looms best for the place. The writer has watched the work of small squads at Franklin and the poorest material Heze Clark ever had at this school, but we believe none ever looked like this outlay. It is quite unusual to see combined inferiority and small numbers both on the same football practice field. Still, we wonder how much squawking the alumni will do if Rose don’t win this year?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Little Series’ Play Resumed Wednesday at Washington Park. HUGE CROWD EXPECTED Rival Clubs Work Out at Tribe Lot. BY EDDIE ASH Times Snorts Editor The tumult, and the shouting is scheduled to begin all over again at Washington Park Wednesday when ; Bruno Betzel’s American Association | champions and Billy Southworth’s International League pennant win- ' ners resume play in the “little world’s series.” It will be Indianapolis' first glimpse of the Class AA classic and park officials have completed plans to take care of an enormous crowd. Several thousand additional seats have been added and the increased capacity is expected to meet the demand. Fine Practice Weather The Indians and Red Wings drew perfect weather today for practice, the teams having been idle Monday. The local pastimers were to work out from noon to 2 o'clock today ; and the Wings were to take the field at 2 p. m. In the four first tilts of the series, staged in Rochester, Indianapolis won two, Rochester one and one battle went to a twelve-inning tie. The team that wins five games takes the honors. The Wednesday contest starts at 2 o’clock and it will be the last game in which the players share in the receipts. They are permitted to share in the first five tilts only. Fans who have ordered “layaway" tickets for the Wednesday conflict are requested by Tribe officials to take up the ducats at once to avoid congestion at the ticket windows tomorrow. Eastern Scribes Here The Indian baseball plant was a busy spot today as carpenters and others put the finishing touches on the field seats and new press boxes for International League scribes and telegraph operators. This is the first Association-In-ternational meeting in Indianapolis since 1917, whin the Indians trimmed the Toronto Leafs. Boone or Leverett is expected to get the Tribe pitching assignment in the local opener and McCracken probably will take the Red Wing mound/ Vic Keen, who gave Swetonic a hard fight in the Rochester opener last Wednesday, also will be ready If called tomorrow. In the four clashes staged in the International League city total runs by each side were even, with twenty-five each. And there was only a single hit difference In total base knocks, the Indians piling up fifty safeties and the Red Wings forty-nine. Indianapolis got by with the fewer errors, the total being seven, to thirteen for Rochester. Club batting In the four first encounters was Indianapolis .309 and Rochester .308. The figures indicate the teams are well matched, but Indianapolis still believes It has a stronger mound star if the local hurlers “get going.” Stephen Swetonlc saved the A. A. champions at Rochester and he will perform in at least one more game before the series ends. There was much complaint about the poor condition of the field at Rochester ana both teams suffered on the defense as a result. The Indians yearned to get home and it is said the Red Wings also were glad to move out here. A football team used the Rochester park before the “little series” started and the ground was made treacherous for baseball. The Red Wlr.vs, like the Indians, have a strong keystone sack pair in Toporcer, second baseman, and Gelbert, shortstop, and it will be interesting for the fans to compare their performance with that of Bud Connolly and “Rabbit” Warstler. Speed galore is expected around that station in the games here. The local series scheduled calls for battles Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and Sunday if the Indians do not win three in a row. In fact, the series may go over into next week, because the Indians need three more titlts to win and the Red Wings four. The gate total at Rochester was about §40,900, but the player share was not announced. Official series statistics on receipts will not be known until the event ends. Manager Betzel dashed over to his home in Celina, Ohio, Monday. He returned with his family this morning. Chairs will be placed around the field Wednesday to take care of overflow from grandstand and field seats. Batting averages for the junior world’s series follow: INDIANAPOLIS G AB R H Pet.

National League Champs Have Edge on New York in Pitching Strength Huggins in Bad Way for Twirlers; McKechnie Has Five Likely Starters for Series.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Steady pitching and good fielding may offset th'e greater offensive strength of the New York Yankees and enable the St. Louis Cardinals to wrest the world’s baseball championship from the American League champions in the world series opening Thursday at Yankee stadium. If this series is decided on pitching as Bill McKechnie, manager of the Cardinals, contends it will be, then the National League pennant winners ought to win their second world series in three years. With Herb Pennock, the best money pitcher in baseball, out of the series with a sore arm, the Yankees do not have a single pitcher they can count on for victory. Even

Bob Meusel, Ben Paschal and George H. Ruth. Manager, Miller Huggins, and coaches, Arthur Fletcher, Charles O’Leary and Harry Matthews. ST. LOUIS CARDINALS Catches—Earl Smith and James Wilson. Pitchers—Grover Alexander, Fred Frankhouse, Harold Haid, Jess Haines, Sylvester Johnson. Clarence Mitchell, Arthur Reinhart, Flint Rhem and William Sherdel. Infielders—James Bottomley. Andrew High.

John Martin, Ernest Orsattl, Walter Roettger and Howard Williamson..

Waite Hoyt, who will pitch the opening game, is considered a question mark against the Cardinals. Pipgras for Second L’ Hoyt should lose, the Yankee pitching staff will be shattered. Huggins will have George Pipgras for the second game, but after that he will have to draw straws to select his hurler for the opening game in St. Louis. Henry Johnson, the erratic youngster who was so effective against the Athletics; Tom Zachary, the veteran southpaw, and Fred Heimach, the southpaw imported from St. Paul, are all eligible for the third game if the Cards rout Hoyt in the first game. However, if Hoyt wins, Huggins probably will send him back against the Cards in the third game with a two-day rest, and if Pipgras wins the second game, send him back in the fourth. Huggins is that hard up for pitchers. Sherdel May Start Sherdel, Haines. Alexander. Rhem and Mitchell give MclSTfechnie five likely starters against the Yankees. Haines was the Cards’ biggest winner during the regular season, but Sherdel, master of a puzzling slow ball, probably will draw the opening assignment. The pitching records of the regulars follow: YANKEES. I CARDINALS. W L Pet.l W L Pet. Hoyt 22 7 .759 Haines ... 20 8 .714 xPennoek 17 6 .739 Sherdel ...2116 .677 Pipgras .24 13 .649 i5.
