Talking It Over WITH JOE Wil l

Chicago, Oct. 8. IBUPPOSE the experts are right, like five and two coming out, when they say the Athletics are a shoo-in over the Cubs in the series starting today, because among other things they won their championship in a league which everybody concedes Is stronger than the National. This is one ot those fundamental propositions. In the prize ring they say a good little man can never •whip a good big man. and I suppose the same is true in baseball. I mean you would never pick the champion of the International League against the champion of the American or the National League. a a a I don’t know that thr /•Xpert* aro rxacfIv rlamlne Ihe National with the InUrnational those cia%. which would be n---klnd hut thev are saving * lot of about the orranlration that are not completely flattering. And foil are eontanm being reminded that the National League entre bun t won a tame in the aeries since a o a IP THIS ISN’T PROOF ENOUGH THAT THERE IS A VERY SUBSTANTIAL DIFFIRENCE IN THE CALIBRE OF THE TWO LEAGUES. V/HAT DO YOU DEMAND FOR PROOF’ 808 ••Yeah I Well don’t forget that fellow Ilornsbr will he ort there wearing a C-hl-rt*n monkfv suit in this series. a tx a THE Athletics go into this series with the strongest catching stafT any championship club has had in years. Mickey Cochrane is one of the greatest catchers baseball has ever known. Even the gray beards on the side lines admit the New England Irishman is an artist with the big mitt. And in Cy Perkins the Athletics have a second string catcher who would be a star on any other club in either league. 808 This kind of power behind the hat is of tremendous importance to a ball club. .. means muQh to the pitching nd Imparts a steadying Influence to This Is another reason why the Athletics ore carrying the smart money in tne wagering marts. a B n “Yeah* Well, last wait until yon ret a load of that Hornsby guv In a tight soot. BUB NOT only are the Athletics ; plenty strong back of that ! wood. but they can extend this strength from the plate clear out to center field. There is a baseball legend that a club possessing uniform strength directly through the heart of the playing field owns something close to invincibility. And in the great Cochrane, the dependable Bishop at second and the sensational Haas in center, McGillicuddy seems to control a main artery of more than ordinary value. BBS "Yea? Well you can have ’em. I'll take that Hornsby bloke for mine In one of the audilen-death serteses.” a a a THE Athletics tore through the American League the past season with a dash and zest that came within a few loose degrees of spiritual inspiration. They rode rough shod over some pretty good ball clubs, including the champion Yankees, generally accepted as one ! of the wonder teams of all time; they threw large gobs of dust into the noble plans of Cleveland and the Browns and from July on the league competition had all the competitive keenness of an eye-brow picking contest. 800 "Teab? Well, mvvl’e It's good thin? , they are fresh and ready. They'll need everythin? they’ve rot out th're against Mr. Hornshv.” a a a IT IS quite possible, of course, that even Hornsby may be a frightful ( bust in the series, but the odds are j overwhelmingly against it.

CUBANS TO LISTEN IN Havana Parks Equipped With Radios for World Series. Bv United Prest HAVANA, Cuba. Oct.

Many Cubans, in fact, are now playing professional baseball.

Chicago Man, at Gate Since Monday Noon, First to Enter. LOOP DISTRICT ACTIVE Dry Threat Scares Speakeasies Despite Demand. BY MERTON T. AKERS United Press Staff Correspondent WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO, Oct. B.—A pale October sun was 1 sending its first faint rays through the lattice of temporary bleacher seats today when the vanguard of the 1929 world series throng stepped gingerly through the gates of Wrigley field to see the opening game between the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Athletics. Bleary-eyed and shivering were these early arrivals on the scene of the b!f annual baseball conflict. Some of them had stood or sat or lain in line for as long as twentytour hours for the honor of being among the first to settle down for the opening of Chicago’s first world series in more than ten years. Race for Bleachers But the long night during which a chill wind from Lake Michigan ! had penetrated their blanket and overcoat coverings seemed to have taken none of the enthusiasm out of the “shirt-sleeve” fans. Pell-mell at dawn these fans went scampering through the openings in the barbed wire fence that had kept them out for so many hours and clattered over the pine bleachers in a race for choice positions. Sandwich men served them breakfasts of ! hot-dogs and coffee—all save James I Masek, who had a loaf of rye bread J under his arm. Maxek said he would eat nothing else until the Cubs had been acclaimed world champions. First in line at the ticket window as the 10,000 bleacher seats were put up for sale was R. R. Taunton of Chicago. He had been waiting since noon Monday. Man, Wife Hold Place Poncho Peters an his wife, Odessa, had held one place in the lines all night, one sleeping a few hours while the other stood guard. The Peters came out from Rensaalaer, N. Y., and announced through the “Missus” that they were for the Athletics. Scores of other people insisted that their names be put down as among the first to enter, but at that hour in the morning the sharpesteyed reporter is likely to leave somebody out. While this strange group was passing through the gates, many of the luckier, but less publicized 40,000 who had obtained reservations in the boxes and grand stands were just turning in at their homes or hotels. Into the small hours of the morning the streets of the Loop district, cases, cabarets and hotel lobbies were alive with talk of the great day. “Milk Toast Affair” The only serious shadow in the entire world series picture for many of the fans was an ominous threat from the office of E. C. Yellowley, prohibition administrator, to make the series a “milk toast affair.” Yellowley said this meant that the series was to be bone dry. Word of the dry threat reached several already insecure speakeasies in the neighborhood of Wrigley field and their proprietors closed up in the face of the greatest demand for liquor that Chicago had experienced . since the Tunney-Dempsey fight.

B.—After four years as coach of St. Louis ball teams, Bill Killefer will try his hand as manager of the Browns next season Killefer signed a three-year contract Monday to manage the Browns—allegedly with the understanding that he would “co-operate” with what is known as the “front office” in all things pertaining to the team. Killefer will replace Dan Howley, whose contract expired with the end of the 1929 season and who has had frequent clashes with officials of the club over certain players. Howley criticised the officials and the officials criticised Howley. Killefer, long a friend of Howley’s, said: “I signed to manage the Browns only after Howley had persuaded me it was the right thing to do. He made it plain to me that my signing would make no difference in our friendship. I hope for the support of the fans and co-operation of the players. I am sure 1 will have both. My' coach will be Jimmy Austin.” The new’ Browns manager has had previous managerial experience as leader of the Chicago Cubs. In 1926 Killifer came to the St. Louis Cardinals as assistant to Rogers Hornsby. After Hornsby’s dismissal, he signed to help Dan Howley with the Browns.

All Boxers on Edge for Legion Bill Matchmaker Promises Real Action; Wallace Opposes Louisville Pug. TONIGHT’S CARD Ten Rounds—Rov Wallaee. Indianapolis, ts. Young .lack Dillion, Louisville; light heavyweights. Six Rounds—Bob Lewsader. Terre Haute, vs. Young Eiler. Louisville: wetterwegihts. Six Rounds—Joe Dillon. Indianapolis vs. Frankie Carbone. Louisville; lightweights. Six Rounds—Rov Pierson, Indianapolis, vs. Carl Ellis, Terre Haute; lightweights. Six Rounds—Al Walker. Bieknell. Ind., vs. Reamer Roberts. Indianapolis: Junior lightweights. Three Louisville pugs, a trio of mitt slingers from down around Terre Haute and a quartet of Indianapolis knuckle dusters was the recipe followed by Major Green in mixing up the fistic dish for Armory fans tonight, and the matchmaker believes the customers will find lots of pepper. Local fans have had opportunity to watch both Roy Wallace and Young Jack Dillon at their training, and both fighters look to be in great condition. At least, there should be no alibis after it is over. The supporting card looks as if it might equal the fine prelim programs of the first two shows. The first scrap will get under way at 8:15.
