Talking It Over With JOE WILLIAMS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12. WHAT a whale ol a difference a good pitcher makes. The Cubs had a good pitcher out there Friday in Ouy Joseph Bush of Mississippi. and they looked like a major league ball club, no fooling. Os course, there are some prejudiced folks who insist the Cubs are a major league ball club, no matter how they look, but the evidence up to Friday’s victory over the Athletics —their first in the series—was all against them. Bush changed the picture completly. He was at once a pulmotor, a stimulant end a lifesaver. While he held the Marks off. his teammates went out and pecked away at the right-handed offerings of Oeorge Earn c haw with sufficient persistence and effect to win the ball game. m m u Thn* thf ncrtes I* bound to * five tamen and It ms.. r A* lan* • the Cubs i produce pltrhinr at the ouslitv displayed hr Ul* ooihera side winder they are sola* in os oanreroos. no matter Bow Inept and la* (hey may be In the other essentials. Pltehlne is still to baseball what motors sre to rsrs. mint to Juleps inf sood stains to vests. a mo The onlv run the Athletics scored was the result of an inAeid hit to short by Coehrsne to start the fifth inning and a following simile to center by Miller. At all other times Bush kept the plate free ol hostile shUtes and there were times when It took the highest artls.ry olui •überb eouraee to do it. for the Ath.etlcs aJa&va were threatenln*. B B B They had one or more men left on the base lines In si* of the nine Innings and In the third Bash had to dispose of Miller for the third ont with the bases full, which he did. with no execess of exertion. I might add. bub A CURIOUS decision by Umpire Charlie Moran in the second inning gave Bush a break that lightened his burdens for the moment if it did nothing else. For all I know. It may have won the game for him. because there is no telling j •what the effect on him and the morale of his fraternity brothers might have been if the decision had gone the other way. Two were out when Dvkes singled to left. Bolev followed with a single to right, and Dykes went to third. On the throw to that base Bolev moved up to second Earnshaw was the next hitter. It -tins too earlv In the pastime to consider ’ankln* him for a pinch swinger. The count finally worked around to two and two. On the next pitch Bush Indulged In one of hts customary leisurely wind-ups and Dvkes dashed for the plate. The bottle legged Philadelphian had caught the Cubs flat-footed and as he slid into the rubber, enveloped In a funnel of dust. Moran motioned him safe. U M lmßiedlatelv there wii i bibel tet. The Cube surrounded Moran and Joe McCarthy galloped from the visitor* dugoat breathing defiance from every managerial pore. At length the crowd dispersed and Moran ruled that Ejrnshavr ha da true b out. retiring the side, and rendering the Dvkes' score null and void. B B B IT appeared that the gentleman in lilue had overlooked the trivial fact that some sort of decision had to be made on the ball which was thrown to the plate at the time Dykes was sliding across the rubber, so as an after-thought he called it a strike. In view of the existing circumstances it was a very important strike. Moran is undoubtedly a very gifted person and it is altogether probable that he was able to follow the flight of the ball and the progress of Dyke's depredatory gesture with a clean and unbewlldered vision; but it would be interesting to know by what remarkable process he made his decision on the runner ahead of the pitch because it is obvious that the ball must have reached there ahead of Dykes.

‘One of Easiest I Ever Worked, ’ Bush Modestly Says After Win

Giving Bush Walk to Lead Off Sixth and Dykes’ Error Sets Stage for Cub Rally _______ Chicago Pitcher Fanned Other Three Times; Hornsby Hits Through Short When Boley Is Forced to Shift After Jimmy's Miscue on Roller. BY BILLY EVAN'S PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.—An error by the usually reliable Jimmy Dyke.*? provided the break Friday that gave the Cubs a chance to take the third game of the series and put Chicago back into the running. The score was 3 t-o 1, with Cuyler driving in runs Nos. 2 and 3. The break came in the sixth inning, after the Athletics had taken a onerun lead, which it seemed would be enough behind Earnshaw’s pitching.

It was not so much the error that provided the big opportunity, but the situation it created. Prior to Dykes' error, a bit of careless pitching on the part of George Earnshaw set the stage for the trouble that followed. Pitcher Bush was the first man up in the sixth. On two previous occasions he had fanned ingioriously, as he did on his final appearance. When Bush stepped into the batter's box, it was apparent he was up there with the sole intention of getting a base on bails. On the first pitch he stepped about in the batter’s box in an effort to cover the plate and confuse Earnshaw. It was ball one. However, no one paid much attention to it. Bush continued his nervous tactics, moving in and out, as Earnshaw would up to pitch. It was ball two. Yet Earnshaw didn’t seem to take the matter seriously. Not lifting his bat from his shoulder. Bush finally walked.

Now it is baseball tradition that when you walk a weak hitting pitcher that trouble usually follows. This proved to be the case.

Zazzarino Seeks Referee on Jaw for Halting Bout Ri T'nifrd Prr <*.* NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Leonard Zazzarino, having proved that he is as game as he is “gabby,” was back at Marion, N. J., today telling the home town folks that he was robbed by the referee in his bout with A1 Singer. New York junior lightweight, at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Singer scored a technical knockout over Zazzarino when referee Danny Ridge stopped the bout after one minute and forty-four seconds of fighting in the sixth round. Singer had won every round of the fight up to this time and had three knockdowns to his credit. Although the 19,435 fans who witnessed the bout applauded the referee’s judgment, Zazzarino cast a dissenting vote. He struggled to his feet and begged to be allowed to continue, emphasizing his plea with the best punch he landed during the fight—a solid right to Referee Ridge’s jaw. Zazzarino then rushed to the radio microphone and announced to the world at large that he had been “robbed.”

When McMillan popped to Catcher Cochrane in an effort to bunt, it seemed as if tradition might be crossed up. Chicago wanted a sac-

rifice to put Bush on second in a scoring position. Then came Dykes’ error that changed the entire complexion of the game. English took a healthy swing, topped the ball and it rolled toward third. Had Dykes fielded it cleanly, there was a possibility of a force at second and the

certaint that English would be an | eas out at first, if Dykes thought I there wasn't a chance to get Bush at second. Had he gotten either man for the second out of the inning, Boley would have played his regular spot at short and what a difference it would have made! Dykes got the ball in his hands, but fumbled and juggled it, and when he was in a postition to throw, it was too late all around. As I have said before, it was this error that provided the break. First because it put two men on with only one out, but more important it changed the defense of the infield as to the shortstop. It was really the first break of the series for Chicago. The Athletics have had most of them. Boley Forced to Shift With runners on first and second and only one down and with the Athletics holding only a one run edge, it became most necessary that Shortstop Boley hold Bush close to second in order to make it all the more difficult for Bush to score, should Hornsby, the next batter, hit safely. Had Dykes forced Bush at second or retired English at first for the second out, Boley would have been playing in his regular position, instead of fifteen feet toward second base. Hornsby’s single that scored Bush from second went directly through the spot that Boley would have been playing. As it was, he missed by inches breaking down the ball with his bare hand. Getting the break that permited the tying run to cross the plate, the Cubs, sensing it was the big moment, jumped at the chance and made the most of it. Cuyler Delivers Wilson, who has been poison to the Athletic pitchers, after he got started, drove a hard grounder to right which had all the earmarks of a base hit, but was turned into an out by a fine play on the part of second baseman Bishop. Cuyler was up. In his other trips to the plate in the third game he hadn't been particularly troublesome. This was Cuyler’s chance to wipe out his previous failures and he made the most of it. With two strikes on him. he singled through the box. sending two runs over the plate, giving the Cubs their margin J Os Victor} 7 .

Bush Knew His Business, Says Babe —Criticises Mack for Using Earnshaw Friday

BY BABE RUTH Philadelphia, Oct. 12.— well,' the Cubs are back in. the big; series. Winning that one Friday' was a break of fortune for Me- j Carthy after it looked as if fortune | had entirely deserted him. Naturally, Guy Bush must get the majority of the credit. He pitched as heady a ball game as I j ever saw and the way he came in there with that side-arm delivery! during the later innings when it • was getting dark was the tip-off that here was a fellow who knew his business. All through the game Bush pitched perfectly to the Athletic hitters—keening the ball low on ■ Foxx and offering Simmons nothing j good to take a cut at. Earnshaw’s pitching was a big surprise to me. I’m not a second guesser. but I can’t quite dope out why Connie Mack sent him to the i mound after only one day’s rest J when he had plenty of other fresh men he might use. However, that’s Coimie’s business, and no concern of mine. The A’s still have the big edge in the series, and with any sort of baseball at all ought to win out. I'll sav for the Cubs though, they looked a lot better FTidav than they have in any other of the games. They had more confidence at the plate and they weren't so stiff and nervous in the field. With Wilson and Hornsby start-'

Southerner Drawls Out How He Went Out There and Pitched. FOXX IS OUT-FOXED Hurler Praises Cuyler as Real Friday Hero. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.—The Cubs were back in the running today, with only one more victory needed in the two games here Saturday and Monday to carry the world serWb back to Chicago. Guy Bush, lean, swarthy southerner who halted the heavy artillery of the Philadelphia Athletics in the third game Friday, told the United Press in his quaint drawn hew he did it. Leaning back against a flower box in the lobby of the Cubs’ hotei. Bush puffed on a black cigar and tcld how he stopped Jimmy Foxx, whose pace started the A’s to vie- j tory in the first two games, not once, ; but three times, in a pinch. Speedy and Outside “I knew if I kept the ball on the outside Foxx wouldn’t get any of those home runs off me,” Bush said. “I gave him plenty of speed and made him reach for them. Ke never bothered me at all. It was one of the easiest games I ever worked.” Foxx fanned once, and hit grounders the other three times up. He got on base when English booted his roller in the third inning. Three times Foxx came up with men on bases and he was unable to hit Bush's dazzling fast ball, low and on the outside corner. Bush is a lanky, hungry-looking j chap with skin dark enough to make j him resemble a foreigner. He weighs 170 pounds, but looks thin and weak in civilian clothes. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked as if he had been out on a party the night before. “What made you keep getting yourself in a hole all the time,” Bush was asked. Forgot Men on Base “I don’t know why,” he answered. “I made up my mind Thursday night when Joe McCarthy told me to get ready to pitch that nothing was going to worry me. I went out there to take my time, work hard on every man and forget it was a world series game. That’s what I did, even when they got men on the bags. I forgot about them and pitched just like they weren’t there. “I almost forgot about Dykes on third, too, and he slipped home before I knew it. But I got the third strike over on Earnshaw and that ended the inning and the score didn’t count.” A group of young boys from Buffalo came up and got Bush to autograph half a dozen balls for them. A minute later two women from Milwaukee walked up and said: “We just want to shake your hand. Mr. Bush.” “Why, sure,” he said. “Now, what’s your name?” He repeated their names over to remember them and said: “That’s sho’ fine. I’m' glad you liked the way I pitched.” ‘Kiki’ Real Hero When they left, Bush turned and said: “Well, if they were looking for the hero, they had better go over there in the corner and shake hands with Kiki Cuyler. That’s the baby who really won the game. I pitched it all right, but he won it with the hit in the sixth.” SHIKAT TOSSES RUSSIAN 10,000 Fans See Pennsylvania Champ Throw Kwariani. Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.—Dick Shikat. recognized by the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission as the world’s heavyweight wrestling champion, successfully defended his title here Friday night, when he tossed Kolo Kwariani, Russian grappler, in one hour and ten minutes.

Personally, I thought English had the call beaten out for a base hit, and I was sorry to see Jimmy tagged with a miscue on a play like that.

Chicago Fans G!orify Cubs for Comeback Rooters Swarm Loop and Howl in Glee as Team Braces. T!’i United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Their spirits ; soaring, Chicago baseball fans, that i is to say the city’s entire population, today confidently awaited the sec- ! onri victory of their beloved Cubs over those Athletics. “The boys have hit their stride,” was the cry throughout the Windy City. “We’ll win the World Series yet.” A few ultra-conservative fans acl mitted the Cubs would have difficul - ty overcoming the one-game lea; of their American League rivals, bu the majority ignored the two games won by the A.s in Chicago, or mentioned them in condescending tones. Everyone was agreed the Cubs had returned to their splendid mid-sea-son form as a result of the example set by Wilson, Hornsby, Cuyler and Bush and no amount of argument would convince them otherwise. Traffic officers, who had a hard job controlling crowds which swarmed into the loop Friday to watch the automatic scoreboards, were facing some more strenuous work today. But they didn’t complain, for the policemen are Cub fans, too.

Yankee Recruit Pitcher May Aid Indiana Mentor Bu Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 12. Possibility that Richard (Hiki) Woodward, former Indiana university baseball slab artist, signed by the New York Yankees this summer, might assist Coach Everett Dean in shaping up the Hoosier pitching staff this winter, developed this week, following Woodward’s visit to the campus. Woodward, with a winter of inactivity ahead of him prior to the opening of Yankees’ spring training, was said to have, reached an understanding with Dean which would give him charge of the varsity pitchers during the time Dean is occupied with basketball in December, January and March. Woodward pitched for Indiana during its championship season in 1925. Since then he has played with the minors, and last summer turned in an excellent record, deemed sufficiently good by Yankee scouts to warrant his purchase. “Hiki” has returned to Lapel, Ind., for a visit with his parents, and probably will take charge of the varsity hurlers Jan. 1.

Passes Win for Normal Gridders BJI Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 12. Indiana State Normal took to the air to defeat Manchester college, 13 to 6, here Friday night. The Chesters line had repulsed every State Normal attempt and when Sparks hurled a pass of thirty yards to Martin the fleet end grabbed it and raced over the line. Passes, Sparks to Wampler, put the Sycamores in a position to score again and Martin plunged over. It was late in the game when Manchester opened up their aerial attack and heaves by Tully to Chapman and Piper put the ball in scoring range and Chapman plunged over. The game was the inauguration of night football in Terre Haute and was attended by 4,000. PITCHING RECORD Smoky Joe Wood won thirty-four games and lost five for a mark of .872 to establish the highest winning percentage ever turned in by a major league hurler.

Friday. Max Bishop was great. His stop on Wilson’s drive was a classic. John McGraw, who was sitting just back of me, remarked at the time that Hornsby wouldn’t have come close to that one, and I think John is right. Bishop was supposed to be a weak sister, but in this series he has played great ball. # The funny thing to me about a series of such sluggers as this is the great number of strikeouts. I’ve got a hunch the boys will set a record in this series that will stand for a long time. Thirty-six of the Cubs have struck out in the three games

Four Feature Tilts on Grid Card Share in Interest of State Fans Michigan Invades Purdue, Indiana Tackles Chicago, Notre Dame Plays Navy; DePauw Entertains Earlham.

BY YERN BOXELL Headlined by four feature attractions, Indiana collegiate football threatened to steel part of the show from the world series today. Twelve Hoosier elevens were to see action. Topping the card in local interest is the Michigan-Purdue Big Ten opener at Lafayette, in which Harry Kipke’s title aspirants, one of the pre-season favorites in the conference race, will test Jimmy Phelan’s “dark horse” entry. The game will witness a struggle between the Wolverines’ powerful veteran line and the Boilermakers’ deceptive back field, potentially one of the strongest in the circuit. The result depends largely on the performance of the Purdue forwards, for the Maize and Blue'outfit likewise has a strong back field of both veterans and promising youngsters. Dopesters Puzzled A sell-out crowd Is expected to witness the fray. Dopesters are finding the game a hard one to figure, but give the Wolverines a slight edge, because of reserve strength and experience. In national interest, the Lafayette battle is snowed under by Notre Dame’s invasion of Baltimore for the annual classic with Navy. The Rockne-less Ramblers, who made the trip minus their noted chief, are favorites despite this handicap. A record crowd of 72,000 according to dispatches, is expected to attend. In addition to Rockne, the Irish will be without the services of Cannon, star tackle, injured in the Indiana game. The Middies likewise will be handicapped by the inability of Gannon, star half, to play in all the game, Notre Dame still rules favorite. I. U. Bolstered Pat Page and his Hoosiers are at Chicago, with ambitions of opening the Big Ten season with a victory. With the experience gained in the Notre Dame tilt last Saturday and the return of Eddie Hughes, Indiana should win out. But the same thing was true two years ago, and the Crimson failed miserably, losing 13 to 0, just as they had all the preceding years since 1910. A De Pauw team that improves with each game was to play Earlham on the Old Gold day card at Greencastle. The inexperienced Tiger line has shown power in the first few tilts, while Coach Hughes has a string of stellar backs that w r ould gladden any college coach. De Pauw

and there will be at least two more games. Hack Wilson, when he hit safely the first two times up Friday, ran his string of consecutive hits to five. That comes near being a world series record, if I’m any judge, and is just another proof that the Cubs have begun to get their eye on that old ball.
