WILSON SETS MAJOR RECORD FOR RUNS DRIVEN IN

Sends 176 Over Plate Hack Gets 51st and 52d Home Runs; Leads Ruth by Six. b NEW" 4 Sept. 13.—Lew • Hack) Wilson, burly center fielder of the Cubs, today seemed assured of topping Babe Ruth in home runs this season. Wilson hit his fifty-first and fiftysecond of the season against the New York Giants Wednesday, placing him six ahead of Ruth. Hack, however, stands little chance of tying or surpassing Ruth’s 1927 mark of sixty homers as the Cubs have but nine more games to play. When Wilson hit No. 52 Wednesday scoring English ahead of him, he established anew mark for runs driven in, 176, one better than the record set up by Lou Gehrig in 1927. Bu United Pre• * CLEVELAND, Sept. 18. Earl Averill, young Cleveland outfielder, poled out three home runs in consecutive trips to the plate against the Washington Senators here Wednesday, and then turned in his fourth of the day on his first trip up in the second game of a twin bill. In the first contest he drove in eight runs, enough to win s he game, 13 to 7. He missed his fourth consecutive homer on his final trip up in the opener, when a long fiy ball fell foul and then he grounded out.

C. card at Tomlinson hall next Wednesday night, where the feature scrap will bring together Roy (Tiger) Williams, { prominent Negro middleweight, and Chief Jack Elkhart.

Ohio Coach to Shift Fesler. All-America End, to Half

EDITORS NOTE—Following is the third arUcle of the Ini ted Press series on Big Ten football prospects. Thursday’s article wiU discuss the university of Minnesota. BY DIXOfTsTEWART flnlled Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 18 —Coach Sam S. Willaman, starting his second year at the head of Ohio State university's football squad, is far more optimistic regarding the Buckeyes’ prospects for the 1930 season than are the majority of Ohio football followers. Since Dr. Wilce tired of the situation at Ohio State and gave the coaching job to Willaman, things haven’t been particularly rosy around Columbus, and this year is no exception to the rule. The majority of last year's stars have completed their careers and Ohio's chances depend almost entirely upon newcomers, but despite the pessimism manifested by Ohio fans Willaman has come out flatfootedly with the prediction that the Buckeyes will be stronger this year than last. Willaman’s hopes are founded on the large squad of sophomores available for duty. Senior members of the squad are the only holdovers from the Wilce regime, and Willaman believes he will have a better chance to work out his owm system than w'as t*h e case l ast y ear - The big squad of new men will provide Ohio with more replacements than were available in 1929 and although the squad is “shot” so far as veteran material is concerned the players are showing spirit and the Buckeyes promise to furnish plenty of trouble for their five conference foes. Wesley Feasler. all-America end. ' is the leader of the returning veterans, and Willaman plans to use Fesler's speed by converting him ;

into a half back. Olavi Sola. 190pound sophomore, gives promise of developing into a hard-hitting full back, something the Buckeyes have lacked for several years, and may replace Holcomb, who is scheduled for a trial at quarter back. Mike Roth, star of last year’s freshman team, and Don McKay, Lewis Hinchman and Bill Carroll are tire best of the new r backs, and will compete for places with the veterans, Taylor, Grady, Horn and Nesser. Carl Ehrensberger, Columbus sophomore, is highly touted as a center prospect and is competing for the post with Richard Larkins, a regular tackle on the 1929 team. Other sophomore linemen will compete for places with the veterans Sam Selby and Bill Griffith at guard; and Haubrich and Bell at tackle. Fesler is the only holdover end and if he is shifted to the back field Willaman must develop two new wingmen. Ohio’s schedule for the season is: Sept. 27—Mt. Union at Columbus. Oct. 4—lndiana at Columbus. Oct. I!—Northwestern at Evanston. Oct. 18—Michigan at Columbus. Nov. I—Wisconsin at Columbus. Nov. B—Navy at Baltimore. Nov. 15—Pittsburgh at Columbus.

‘Fox’ Wins Cup Event 3-Year-Old Turf Champ Boosts Earnings Mark to $328,165. B v Times Pvccinl NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Ga.lant Fox, William Woodward's big 3-year-old turf champion, boosted his earnings mark to $328,165 at Belmont park Wednesday when he cantered home an easy winner in the Jockey Gold Cup race, run over two miles, adding $10,300 to his total. The Fox now has surpassed Zev’s winning mark by approximately $15,000. The triumph marked the last appearance, for this season at least, of the Fox on a metropolitan track. The champion’s next appearance probably will be in the Latonia championship in Kentucky, after which he may be retired to the stud. In Wednesday’s race Jockey Earl Sande kept Gallant Fox in second place, behind Frisius, a stable companion, until the mile-and-one-half mark, and then easily took the lead and stood off a stretch challenge by Yarn, the only other starter, to win easily.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18. THERE are things that happen right before our eyes on the ball field and we can’t explain them. We have had one of those puzzlers bothering our club all season and I’ll have to admit that I can not figure it out. I mean the way the Washington club has been picking on the Yankees. I

Babe Ruth Says

have been asked at least a hundred times this year w-hat is the matter with the New York team when it plays the Senators. In twenty-two games we won only five.

There is no set answer to it. It just happened that the Senators were generally better than we were -on the days we played them. They made a lot of runs on days when we were hitting fairly well, and they got good pitching to top us on most of the days when our pitching was real good. ’ They beat us twice in one series by 3 to 2, and in another game they knocked one of our pitchers out of the box after he led 10 to 0 with the bases empty and two out in the ninth. But we won that game. This is my first experience with a club that was so helpless before another. The Red Sox w'ere not bothered that way during my five seasons with them, and the Yankees took no such punishment in _y first ten years with them as they have had to take from Washington this year.

What made the failure all the more puzzling was our record against the Browns. We found the St. Louis team rather easy and the same Browns have given the Senators all kinds of trouble this year. These baseball triangles are not uncommon, but it isn’t often that a team, as high in the race as the Yankees have been all season, is so badly beaten by another team. We need only one more victory over the A’s to take twice as many games from the champions as we have won all year from Washington. There is an odd triangle In the National League. This one concerns the Cincinnati Reds, the Cubs and the Cardinals. No other major league club has been quite so helpless this season as the Reds have been against the Cardinals. And still the Reds can not get worse than an even break in their season’s series with the champion Cubs. Take a slant at these figures. The Cardinals plaster the Reds, nineteen victories against three. The Cardinals and Cubs have broken even in twenty-two games. But the Reds have beaten the Cubs eleven times and lost only seven to Joe McCarthy’s team. I often felt that a condition like this was due to the fact that one team went against another feeling that it would lose. This year I found out that I was wrong. We went into every Washington series figuring that we would get the breaks and
