Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Sept. 10. IN every respect, except the high13' publicized mathematical certainties. both races in the major leagues are over. The Athletics arc "in" in the American League and the Cubs in the National are what the boys call the pay off. The Cubs probably will go into the aeries the favorite. For one thing they open on the home grounds. For some reason, possibly precedent, this supposedly gives them an edge. a a a Os rrs.iter significance in the fact that the race track *am*>lers have elected to make the Cubs first choice in the early warrrlnss. AH the odds in sports are made at the tracks. This Is because sraeerine Is a business with the track follower*. b a a HORSES DO NOT RUN IN THE FORENOON NOR DO THEY RUN AFTER THE EVENING VESPERS HAVE CHIMED BUT IN THE INTERIM COMPETITIVE PROBABILITIES APE DISCUSSED AND OUT OF THE DISCUSSIONS COME DEFINITE CHANCE VALUES AND ON THESE VALUES THE ODDS WHICH ARE ACCEPTED BY A BETTING WORLD REACH A FIXED STANDARD. a a a AS a general proposition there is not a great deal of difference in mechanical ability between the two league leaders. Every so often a greatly superior team will come along that figures far ahead of its opposition. The Yankees in their prime deserved to rate as a club of exceptional power. They logically rated ahead of the Pirates in 1927 and the Cards in 1928. It would have been a surprise if they had been beaten, even in a short series, when many things can go wrong and frequently do. B B B And yet it wav a great surprise that they were able to beat the Pirates In four straight and an even greater surprise that they "were able to come back the following year and do the same thing at the expense of the Cards. The greatest of clubs must have the breaks to rise to such j>er‘ormances. and in both instances the tankers were aided by the fact that the opposition was over-awed from the start. a a a RUTH AND GEHRIG DID AS MUCH TO WHIP THE PIRATES IN 1927 AS THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF THE ENTIRE ! YANKEE TEAM IN THE WHOLE SERIES. ! AND THEY DID IT IN BATTING PRAC- I TICE THE DAY BEFORE THE SERIES ; OPENED AT FORBES FIELD. WITH ALL THE PIRATES ON THE FIELD FORMING A CRITICAL AUDIENCE RUTH AND GEHRIG IN BATTING PRACTICE SLAMMED SIX CONSECUTIVE BALLS OUT OF THE PARK. a a tt I THINK this demonstration of batting ferocity created a psychological hazard that the Pirates never were able to erase from their minds. Ruth had this thought in mind when he took two extra swings at the plate and when he compelled Gehrig to stay in the batter's box a few minutes beyond his routine due. a tt tt However, inferior ball clubs often win the series. The White Sox of and the Braves of 1914 are classic examples. Often an unknown will beat Bobby Jones in an eighteen-hole match. But when the championship is over no one will concede that Jones was the inferior golfer. Man O' War was beaten in one race. The turf historians still write that it was a fluke. t: tt tt Greatness should never be measured by spurts, dishes or an inspired stump speech. You learn from the book critics that some of Shakespeare's writings never saw print and in more modern times that plavs fated for ultimate greatness lay for years in obscure pigeon holes of producers noted for foresight and imagination. a tt tt A world series does not prove a great deal beyond the fact that over a short stretch of games one club is temporarily better than another. Over the same stretch any number of clubs might prove better than the winner of the series. The Cubs, for instance, did not get into the series last year because they could not beat the Phillies. The Phillies were a bad ball club in 1928. Everybody else walked over them* But against the Cubs they were a formidable ball club. Mayer Victor in Mat Elimination By surviving a series of elimination mat matches at Cadle tabernacle Monday night Billy Mayer will be sent against Jack Reynolds, welter title claimant, in the main go here next Monday. Reynolds seldom fails to attract a crowd on his Indianapolis appearances. Mayor floored Speedy Schaeffer with a body scissors and face lock in 16 minutes to win the final match Monday. Shaeffer downed Joe Shrader and Mayer won from Blacksmith Pedigo in the semi-finals. Buck Lewis was Shaffer's first victim and Johnny Carlin lost in the first match to Mayer. Schrader threw Floyd Byrd and Pedigo toppled Billy Love.

Tribe Roster Patched and Toledo Wins Errors Help Hens Get Away to Big Start: Warstler Stars. Bu Times Spsrial TOLEDO. Sept. 10.—Old Ferd Schupp drew a tough assignment here Monday when he pitched the series opener for the Indians and lost. 4 to 3. the Hens getting all | their runs in the first inning when | two Tribe errors combined with four hits gave the Stengelites just enough markers to win with. It was a strange lineup the Hoosiers used. Bejma, an outfielder, being at third, and Pitcher Burv/ell in s right field. It seems there was some miscalculation among the Tribe executives, for Outfielder Riffe and Thirdbaseman Judd of the Quincy club, failed to show up as expected. Two Veterans Missing Anri before leaving Indianapolis Sunday night. Len Metz, third sacker, was released and Wid Matthews, outfielder, was permitted to go home for the remainder of the season owing to ailing health. Anyway, it was a misfit lineup | behind Schupp and the Hens took advantage of the breaks. For in- : stance, Wingard got three hits, two : being bunts and one a slow roller : because the left side of the Tribe [ infield was out of gear with a rookie stationed at third. Big Day for Rabbit The Indians made the contest close, however, and despite the fact they were held to six hits by McQuillan, they made the home nine realize it was no easy matter to knock ’em off. Rabbit Warstler got three of the six safeties and played great ball in the field. He also drew a walk, giving him a perfect day at the plate. The second conflict of the series was on the card today, the Indians being scheduled here through Thursday. Indians. Senators and Colonels have been tossed into a tie for fourth place, even though Louisville lost to Columbus Monday, a percentage quirk permitting the Colonels to horn in for a three-way knot. The Indians’ longest hit Monday was a triple by Monahan in the first inning. In the sixth. Barnhart and Riddle worked the double steal, the lormer scoring. A wild throw by Bejma and a fumble by Layne allowed runs to score in the opening stanza. Bill Burwell, acting the part of a dashing outfielder for a day. went into right center in the third to rob Brown of a hit. It was a sparkling caUb. Warner lined to Warstler in the fifth and the agile Tribe shortstop leaped on second to double Brown. Devormer was trapped off second in the sixth and was out on a run-down play. Schupp to Connolly to Bejma to Warstler. It is said Wid Matthews was paid in full for the season when he 'eft the club to go home for a rest. He has not been feeling well recently. Outfielder Riffe and Thirdbaseman Judd from Qtnncy were to enter the Tribe lineup today, having joined the Betzelit.es at Toledo Monday, but too late to see action in the series opener, hence the patched lineup. Cleveland Buys Dixie Pitchers By T'nited Press CLEVELAND, Sept. 10.—Billy Evans, general manager of the Clevelan Indians, announced the purchase of Selve Bean, 23-year-old pitcher from the New Orleans club of the Southern association. Bean has won and lost twelve games and worked in thirty-nine games, more than any other pitcher cf the circuit. Evans also announced Clint Brown, winner of nineteen games for New Orelans, would report to Cleveland next week.

Men's Singles Contestants Get Bad Weather at Forest Hills. THIRD ROUND REACHED Gilbert Hall Gives Lott Real Contest, but Loses. BY WILLIAM J. DUNN United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, L. 1., Sept. 10.— A rank outsider—the weather man—was holding his own today as play in ! the men's national singles championships reached the third round at th West Side Tennis Club. t Since the start of the 1929 tournament. last Saturday, Jupiter Pluvius has been doing his best to make life miserable for the tournament entrants. Just as Monday’s second-round matches were nearing completion he unloosed a volley of rain that checked the last two matches and his threatening clouds were again in evidence today as the thirty-four remaining candidates for national honors began the battle which was to reduce their number to sixteen by dusk. The turf courts of the 'West Side Tennis Club today were little better than rectangles of slippery, muddy grass. Concluding his unfinished second round match started Monday afternoon. George Lott, of Chicago, defeated J. Gilbert Hall of Orange, N. J.. today, 12-10, 6-3, 6-2. Rain interrupted the match late Monday with the score at 1-1 in

the second set. Hall’s fine service, his chief asset Monday, refused to behave today and numerous double-faults contributed to his defeat. Another postponed second-round match to be completed was that between Dr. George King and Edward Feibleman. both of New York. Their match was interrupted Monday with the score favoring Feibleman, 6-3. 6-3, 3-6, 2-5. William Tilden. first seeded player and favorite for the championship; Frank Hunter, John Van Ryn and John Doeg were among those who rested Monday for their third-round matches today.

mittee to oust the university from the loop. Ever since lowa’s ousting, Lauer has been investigating the charges, having come out publicly and admitted some of the charges. New Chairman Dean Clement C. Williams will sit as chairman of the council for the first time since his appointmentlast week, while it is expected that Lauer, former chairman, will be made secretary. The appointment of Williams was heralded as a step in lowa’s efforts to convince the Big Ten faculty committee that faculty control of athletics is still maintained here. It was the contention of the board that alumni had gained control of the athletic situation at lowa, a deduction which probably was drawn when alumni after four years of bitter protesting, succeeded in ousting Paul E. Belting as director of athletics.

When Major John L. Griffith, the “Judge Landis” of the Western Conference, met with the Hawkeye athletic chiefs last spring, President Walter A. Jessup maintained that faculty control was the only issue involved in lowa’s ousting, but later disclosures revealed that two other things played a big part—a sluch fund which was kept by merchants and alumni and the fact that some of the Old. Gold athletes were proselyted. Admit Slush Fund The existence of a slush fund was admitted although it was brought out in the confession that the athletes who were “loaned” money were forced to sign notes. lowa's present status is of much doubt. When Hawkeye officials met with the Big Ten committee at Chicago last spring they were told that it was too early to begin reinstatement proceedings and that they were ordered to make a thorough investigation of the charges. Thosj who claim to be “in the know” feel that when lowa gets to ask for reinstatement again, which probably will be in December when winter sports schedules are drawn up. the school’s request will be granted provided evidence can be produced that the unsatisfactory conditions have been cleared up.

Babe Ruth Winners Thursday—Perhaps

GRIEF and much of it has piled up for The Times Babe Ruth all-big league team contest editor and it is hardly likely the winners will be announced before Thursday. Eighteen fans missed out on only one player of the squad of ten chosen by Ruth, position for position, but by a long shot, not the same batting order chosen by the Bambino. None came very close. It’s the batting order that’s holding up the picking of the prize winners at this stage of the contest editor’s problem, but up to noon today the count showed five or more of the eighteen fans who missed out on only one player and position in the field would be eliminated by batting order differences.

By Times Special SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Sept. 10.— Knute Rockne arrived in South Bend recently from his annual coaching school trip through the south and west, and at once plunged into preparations for the 1929 edition of the serial entitled, “The Fighting Irish.” Rockne, like all good authors. Is his own severest critic, and declines to enthuse over the forthcoming Notre Dame football machine. “Fair, just fair,” said Rockne. “How about these new halfbacks, especially this chap Schwartz from the south?” he was asked. Whole Back field Lost “Yeah, how about losing our whole backfield,” he parried. “Your last year’s freshman team was pretty hot, wasn’t it?” “Well, fair,” said the coach. “Just fair. Johnny Niemiec was a good man, and so was Johnny Chevigny, and Fred Collins, he was a good man. But all three of them are gone. You know they graduated.” The lines at the corners of the coach’s mouth took a distinct i downward turn, and you could see that he was deeply grieved over the departure of Fred and the two Johnnies. He looked like he wished there could be a law against allowing good backfield men to graduate, the halfback?” Elder Has Speed “How about this Johnny Elder, “Fair,” replied the coach. “Fair? Isn’t he fast?” “Oh yes, he’s fast enough. As I say, he’s fair. Quite speedy. In fact I am rather counting on him as a key man. Now if we had Niemiec and Johnny—” “This chap Brill from Philadelphia; wasn’t he pretty flashy in the spring training?” “Well, fair,” conceded Coach Rockne, “quite fair.” And that’s as far as the boss could be prodded, at this time. “Later on,” he promised, “after I get a better line on these boys, and find out how they have been spending their time this summer, maybe I can give you something a little more definite.”
