Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Oct. 22. WHEN the tall and gangling Howard Ehmke scrambled out fit the dugout and started to unlimber his fragile soup bone in front of the Athletics' bench on the afternoon of the first game of the world ’ries i.i Chicago, a gentleman who been identified with baseball in proses. <■ nal capacity for a number of years exploded: "Holy Pete! Connie isn't going to tart that guy is he? Why the Cubs ill have him out of there before the first inning is over. He's got a heart about as big as a pin head.”

Von hear sarh thinrr* often about men i rportft. fp"fi*l!v nrofe*fcionl sport*. •' h*ir it paid of a Ditcher or a team t t** v are all rl*rht ts lone a* thev r in front b • t fhrt tb*v fold up v.hcn ir *oI •' >r rrm torch. And of prize zlifera („ha: tl ry uouid b* champions if tiifT could "take It.** tt a m I suppose it is true there are some men totally lacking in courage just as there are other men who are endowed with flaming courage. In a general sense I suppose courage is character wearing a glistening shield. All of us would like to have it. Most of us like to feel that in a pinch we might possibly come through. At the same time the urge to make the test is seldom very urgent. a a a men in sporis are branded O faint hearted because they happened to fail once in a conspicuous spot, and this brand stays with them as long as they are in the game; or unless, as in Ehmkes case, an unusual situation develops and they are ab;e to present convincing testimony to the contrary. tt a a F broke camr close to being the dominating hero of the world ucric*. If he had fared in the opening tame the chances are the Athletics, a voune. unseasoned te in, with a tendency to flitrbtiness in critical moments, would have plaved with less spirit and dash in the subsequent c. ,,v irs. Considering the relative mental at i unles .t w as much more important that th • I'hiladelplv.a entrv should eet off in a winning stride than the Chicago squad.

Ehmke pitched more with his heart and his brain that day than v. his arm. When the pressure w. t ",htest he was invincible. He fanned thriteen of the Cubs. He didn't have much on the ball. He was taking a chance in being able to put it where the National League sin r gers would have a hard time meeting it soh ' , y, if they met it all. He was gambling on the feathered fineness of his control. a a a IT Is my not on that the courage involved in that type of pitching ca 1 ries a h ; her spiritual vaiue than that which is exemplified by a broad shouldered giant with bulging muscles and burning speed, whose technique consists wholly in throwing the ball right past the batter. This is no attempt to present a brief for Ehmke. The gentleman merely happens to be a timely biological exh.bit in a casual, loose dissertation c-' 1 courage. Ehmke is a nervous, imaginative type, highgeared mentally. These fellows sense danger quicker than the stolid, dull, impassive types. Hence their burdens arc heavier. It is stupid to say the valliant die but once. u tt tt It ! somethin! more than a legend that Ebmke’s own mites drove him from thp clubhouse in ridicule last summer after a same with the Yankees in which he pitched a ball to Babe Ruth with the bases full that was knocked from the Dark and result'd in the total and complete loss of the contest. an tt THE presence of Ruth at the wicket in such a situation is ca'culated to strike despair in the heart of almost any pitcher; and that it should have precipitated a distressing aftermath at the expense of the imaginative Ehmke was of no deep signifiance. It would have been much more of a surprise, considering the emotional capacity of the man, if he had fanned the hitter. o a tt • Couruee Is not a material ouantitv that ran be classified with the same fixed definit-ness that a strong throwine arm. an effective rlrht cross or a flawless driving skill off the tee is sinkled out and weighed as a possible factor In an Impendintr competition. There can never be anvthine x.am'i-'t or routine about it.

Rogers hornsby is popularly supposed to be one of the grittiest men in baseball. It was the Hornsby grit and icy composure that many believed would help Mv n; the balance in favor of the Cifi’s in the series. Hornsby performed w til an impotency that was shock.ng to veteran critics. But that didn't mein he had lost any of his grit or calmness under fire. He simp’y went into a slump at a time when his power was most needed. That could happen to Hornsby and still be all right with the customers; he was known to be a dead-game guv. an a Rut If somethin* like this had ban>?ned to Ihmke in the opening came, ne’ther Connie Mick nor the malirned r chthandrr in nty>m be alone had on* waverin? confidence, would have heard the last of it.

Manager Hargrave Booked for Trial Along With Cooke and Chapman. OTHER CHANGES LISTED Big Shakeup Likely in Yank Battery Staff. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Oct. 22—80 b Shawkey was to arrive in New York today from a hunting trip In Canada to begin his duties as manager of the New York Yankees and take the first steps toward rebuilding the team for 1930. Bob Connery, president of the St. Paul American Association club, will confer with Secretary Ed Barrow and Shawkey Wednesday relative to sending several players to the Yankees. Among them are Eugene (Bubbles) Hargrave, veteran catcher; Allen (Dusty) Cooke, leading slugging outfielder of the American Association; Ben Chapman, star third baseman, and a pitcher. Hargrave managed the Saints the past season. Three Places Open Three places on the Yankees are definitely open—left field, third base and shortstop. The pitching stall will be made over around George Pipgras, Roy Sherid and Ed Wells. Herb Pennock, Waite Hoyt and Tom Zachary are not likely to figure very prominently in Shawkey’s plans. Pennock is about through. Hoyt may be traded. Zachary has lmost played out his string, despite a good 1929 record. The two youngsters, Bill Dickey and Aft Jorgens, are expected to shoulder the catching burden, with occasional aid from Hargrave, who also is expected to act in the capacity of coach. Hargrave is 37, but made a strong comeback this year. Gehrig, Tony Safe Lou Gehrig, despite a mediocre year, will again play first base, and Tony Lazzeri will perform at second base, but the other two infield jobs are wide open. Detroit has made an offer for Mark Koenig and the brilliant recruit of 1926 may go to the Tigers. Lyn Lary is expected to step into a regular job at third or shortstop this season, but he may still be a year away. Leo Durocher will have to battle for his place, if any, on the team. The Yanks need a crack shortstop badly. The release of Bob Meusel to Cincinnati leaves left field open. Dusty Cooke, a left-handed slugger, who murdered American Association pitching the past season, or Sam Byrd will get the job. Earl Combs and Babe Ruth seem certain of their jobs in center and right field, respectively. Byrd or Cooke may have to give Ruth occasional relief because of the inevitable injuries which the Babe always acquires in the heat of the pennant race.
