Three-Pitcher Series, Ruth Predicts as He Sizes Up Staffs of Title Machines Doping Hurlers Over Short Stretch Has Pitfalls; Side-Arm Aces of Cubs May Baffle Macks; Earnshaw Appears Destined to Shine. BY BABE RUTH. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—A lot of people contend pitching is 90 per cent of a world series. And maybe it is. But don’t forget pitching and hitting go sort of hand in hand. It’s a little hard to tell sometimes whether it’s

excellent pitching by one club or poor hitting by the other that wins ball games. I’ve seen clubs in such a hitting slump that they made any pitcher in the world lock good—and I've seen clubs that were hitting so well they’d make any pitcher who faced them look bad. Sizing up pitchers over a season’s play is one thing, and trying to dope pitching strength for a series of six or seven games is something else again. The trouble with doping world series pitching is that a man usually gets only one chance. The best pitcher in the world, if he happened to have an off day when his turn came, might be a series goat. And an ordinary pitcher, on the other hand, if he happened to be having a good day, might turn out to be a hero.

The Babe

Man for man, the pitching staffs of Cubs and Athletics size up about equally. The Cubs are a little overbalanced so far as right-handers are concerned—but that is evened up by the fact right-handers are likely to go best against the Athletics. The As., on the other hand, are handicapped by the fact that the Cubs, all things being equal, hit better against left-handers than they do against right-handers.

There has been a lot of argument as to whether or not Lefty Grove could stop the Cubs. Personally I figure that a good pitcher can pitch against any club and beat them. And Lefty Grove, you can take it from me, is a good pitcher. The Cub record against left handers has been very good all year. But they have been beaten by lefthanders at that—and if there's any lefthander in the game today who can beat them that lefthander is Grove. Provided, of course, he is right on the day he pitches. Experience against the Athletics has shown that if they have a weakness in hitting it is against right handers of the side-arm, fast ball type. Root I understand, is that very sort of pitcher. And Malone and Bush are somewhat of that type too. Walberg Hard to Figure I have a sneaking hunch this will be a three-pitcher series. ’ I figure the Cubs will use Bush. Malone and Root, and I think Connie will depend almost entirely on Earnshaw, Grove and either Walberg or Quinn. To my way of thinking Walberg is the big puzzle of the series. There’s

Northwestern Prepares for Hard Struggle With Butler Saturday Wildcats Give Bulldogs Feature Spot in Twin Bill Opener; Coaches Hanley, Clark Drive Squads.

Pjt Time* &nerial EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 3.—Northwestern, it appears, faces a tough assignment Saturday when the Wildcats’ combined forces meet Butler of Indianapolis and Cornell college of Mt. Vernon, la., in the season openers. Coach Hanley has much respect for the Hoosier eleven. Butler, with its many veterans, is reported to be a much stronger pack of Bulldogs than appeared at Dysche stadium last season when the Wildcats had to extend themselves to the limit in the last half to grab a 14 to 0 triumph. Butler got the jump on the Wildcats by opening with a victory over Illinois Wesleyan at Indianapolis last Saturday, The Wildcat varsity got its first real test Saturday in a. practice came with the freshmen. The varsity lineup used included Moore, Hanley. Bruder and Calderwood in the backfield, and Baker and Gonya

Clarkmen to Have Full Power

Lengthy scrimmages and signal drills have been in order at the Butler camp as Potsy Clark prepares his Bulldogs for the Big Ten “dark horse’’ eleven, Northwestern. Clark has employed “whost balls’* and floodlights in rounding his squad into shape. Defense also has played a major role in the workouts. Indications are that Clark will have full strength when he takes his squad Chicago-ward Friday. Jim Puett, husky center, is back in the line-up. A scrimmage tonight at Butler bowl, and a light signal drill in Dysche stadium early Saturday, will conclude the Bulldogs’ preparations for the game.

no better pitcher in the country than Rube, if he makes up his mind to pitch. And no worse pitcher if he isn’t in form. Even Grove hasn’t as much stuff as the Rube if Walberg really wants to cut loose. But he’s a funny chap, and it’s as easy to tell when the next war will start as it is to foretell what Walberg will do in the series. Earnshaw Has Everything Personally, I’ve got a hunch that Earnshaw will be the toughest man on the w’hole Athletic club for the Cubs. He’s a right-hander with a good fast ball, a corking curve, and good control. He knows how to pitch, too—and he’s got the quiet, calm sort of way that is best for a crucial series. For the Cubs—well, I haven’t seen them so much, and I can go only on mostly what I hear, but from all I can learn, Root and Malone are the two who will bother the Athletics most. I’ve got a hunch that Bush won’t go nearly as well in the series as he has during the season. (Copyright, 1929. by The Times)

Moore and Btrgherm are still on even terms i2 their fight for the full back job, but Bergherm has been out of practice with an injured rib for several days. Enbegritsen may displace Evans at one of the guard jobs. Both are sophomores and are putting up a heavy battle to win the distinction of being Captain Anderson’s running mate.

Defending Champ Forced to Take Five Straight Holes to Win. MRS. HIGBIE HER FOE Match Goes to Nineteenth Green for Verdict. BY BERT DEMBY Cnited Press Staff Correspondent OAKLAND HILLS COUNTRY CLUB, BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Oct. 3.—The fighting heart of a real champion today allowed Glenna Collett, present title holder, to continue in the running of the national women’s golf tournament. Four down, with four holes to go Miss Collett won five straight holes with perfect golf to defeat Mrs. Harley Higbie, Detroit, in the quarterfinal round of the tournament, one up in nineteen holes. Shows Great Heart Never did a champion show greeter heart than did Glenna today. She was down all the way up to the eighteenth, and despite hard luck and bad golf, her courage never wavered. The gallery began to desert the match when Mrs. Higbie went four up at the fourteenth, but the spectators came back in droves when Glenna teed off at the eighteenth only one down. Those last four holes were played by Miss Collett in masterful style. She won the fifteenth with a birdie four against Mrs. Higbie's par golf and then w r on the sixteenth with another birdie four against par. Miss Collett was down in par 3 to win the seventeenth, and again she played par figures to win the eighteenth. Mrs. Higbie Tires The match ended on the nineteenth hole when Glenna turned in a birdie four. Mrs. Higbie, tiring under the strain, was one over par with a six. Par and their cards follow: OUT— Par 553 554 554—41 Collett 654 554 658—43 Hifbie 553 454 (564—41 In— Par 516 355 535 5—16 Colly* t 455 344 435 4—41 Hiebic 444 345 546 6—45 In other matches today Mrs. O S. Hill, Kansas City, led Mrs. Stewart Hanley, Detroit, two up at the turn; Mrs. Leo Federman, New York, was all even with Bernice Wall, Oshkosh, Wis., at the end of nine holes, and Mrs. Dorothy Campbell, a three-time American champion, was even with Mrs. Leona Pressler, California, at the turn. Accustomed to playing merely good enough to win, Miss Collett electrified the gallery Wednesday by touring thirteen holes of the Oakland Hills Country Club course in five under par to defeat Maureen Orcutt, who had been looked upon as a great possibility for the championship. Never had the course seen a woman play with such mechaniclike precision and it was a distinct shock when Miss Orcutt went down under a 7 and 5 count. Miss Orcutt herself had breezed around the links in far below par to eliminate Helen Hicks, the Long Island star, 3 and 2, the day before. In winning Wednesday Mrs. Hurd turned in a near record by defeating Jeanette Hunter, " Station Heights, Pa., 9 and 8. Only once before, when a 10 and 8 victory was scored in 1910, had an opponent gone down to a more overwhelming defeat.

With Kansas City holding 5 to 4 odds, the local Blues and the Rochester Red Wings were to meet here today in the second game of the little world’s series. Kansas City triumphed in a teninning game Wednesday, 4 to 3, topping an afternoon of sensational fielding. Kuhel’s double drove in the winning counter. Rochester contributed most of the heavy hitting, Watkins, Torporcer and Brown getting two-baggers and Collins smacking out a three-bag-ger. However, the Red Wings tallied only seven hits to eight totaled by the Blues, led by Kuhel and Gerken. Either Marion Thomas, young Blue pitcher, or Pea Ridge Day, comical hurler, were slated to take the mound for Kansas City today. Rochester’s selection was not announced.

Dempsey’s First Show as Promoter in Chicago Proves Crowd Pleaser Spirit of Jack Recalled When Dundee Rallies Despite Defeat; Ex-Champ Helps Scripps-Howard Broadcast.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor CHICAGO. Oct. 3.—Something of the fighting spirit of the old Jack Dempsey, who battled to defeat here two years ago in his last appearance in the ring and now has turned promoter. took hold of proceedings at the Coliseum Wednesday night. The former champion was introducing his first boxing show to Chicago fans and Jackie Fields, welterweight champion, was handing Vince Dundee a very thorough pasting in the ten-round feature. Suddenly it seemed as though the game spirit of Dempsey, seated at the ringside, entered into the Baltimore Italian. With a great rally which he carried on into the face of a two fisted attack which had left him bruised and bleeding, Dundee swept into the champion and brought the crowd to its feet. It was a finish worthy of Dempsey himself, although the de-

cision went to Fields at the end of ten rounds. Aside from this gallant rally on the part of Dundee, there was more excitement outside the ropes than inside at Jack's first show. The crowd of 7,000 or so showed plainly that it had come to see the exchampion and his attractive wife, Estelle Taylor, who was a ringside spectator. Other notables attended the show. The receipts—s3l,s74.2s—-were not up to Dempsey’s expectations, but represented a profit on his initial venture in fight promotion in the middle west. Actual paid attendance was 7,260. The affair was broadcast over a network of forty stations, Dempsey himself taking his place at the microphone at intervals. The broadcast was sponsored by the ScrippsHoward newspapers. Dempsey described nearly all of the eighth round. It was a non-title go.
