[ Talking 1 It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Sept. 29. 808 JONES, the ace of golf clube, today reached Atlanta, tils home town, the possessor of distinction in the long history of the ancient Scottish pastime. By winning the four major championships of the year on both sides of the Atlantic in one season the chubby young barrister has set a record that may last as long as the game itself. 808 I think It ran b* prettv definitely Mated that -lone*' future a tournament roller la behind him. I don't believe he care* whether he ever nilta another rhamnlon•fcio When be told me tn hi* dreasin* room a tew minutes after he had holed nut to win the national amateur at the Merlon Crlrlcet Club on Saturday, thus completing bla grand alara. that he wa weary of working at golf and that from now on be wanted to get some fun out of It. I am nre be was speaking from the heart. Ills victory Saturday was Sand 7. a b a The came of coif and the person of Jones have been siranae bedfellows Asa Tn r e child at the age of 6. he hesai ' vlng ■with th** ramp on the Fast. Lake course, which fronted his in Georgia Prcs#ntlv he beanie extraordinarily adept at the same, and in due time he was comDennsc 1n He necame tne r>ov yonder of eolf. Nobodv in his own field could compete with him on even terms. a a a AS a sort Os civic gesture, it was arranged to enter him in the national amateur at the age of 16 over this same Merlon course. Overnight he became a headline figure. Not only did he qualify, but he went to the third round, where he lost to the experienced Bob Gardner, subsequently a finalist. Prom that day on, young Jones became the property of the public, the hope of his home town and the conceit of his friends. It was up to him tn make good. B B B t_f.fl to bis own desires it i* extremely tirobsble, that be would have placed a very light estimate upon bis own potentialities, certainly It would never have occurred to him that be. had any responsibility* to gespect. a tt a Year after vear he came to the big: tournaments. always he played flrse KOlf. biU for r. long stretch of time the breaks, ■which are so Important In golf, went against him. and while he frequently came close he could never win. The lee * Ire began to crow that he lacked eonn’thirer maybe It, was the heart to stand un under f* arruelinc week of competition. I tma rine n was this uncomplimentary implication more than anything ? ls f...Ml?'' first brought home to .Tones a real, blazing desire to do something important In eon. BUB Finally be broke, through and won his brat championship. Undoubtedly this was a big moment In his life, possibly tbc biggest be has known in golf. But instead of the end Jones found that ibis was but the beginning and now that he had wo.i one championship it was expected and demanded of him that he should keep on winning. aao So vear after year he came back to the bunkered battle fields, urged on bv his friends, idealized by the public, ballyliooed by the press, and fought for additional honors. AT first this must have been a tingling sensation, but as the unending parade moved on, attended by thousands of curious, struggling. milling spectators, a certain boredom and nausea inevitably developed. 808 The young man who had taken up golf as a plavtbing and later learned to know 11 as a stirring sport now found to his dismay that the game bad grown into a sort of monster —an exacting, compelling, demanding ogre that fed on perfection in performance and precision in movement. What once had ben recreation had changed te something Quite different. Where once there had been fun there now was only labor and travail. b n a When Jones started the present season with the announcement that he would play in the two major British and the two major American tournaments 1 believe it was with the Idea that he would try to make the clean sweep he has just accomplished and thus place himself In a position '.o sav. "the came has nothinw else left to interest me." BUB Now with some grace and firmness be ran. as he savs. plav tn a tournament if he feels like it. or stay at home.

Geisel Named HARRY Geisel, popular Indianapolis umpire, announcer and sportsman, will be one of the American League arbiters in the world's series, it was announced today at the Chicago office of the league. He will team with George Moriarty of the American League circuit and two National League experts. It will be Geisel's first appearance in the diamond classic after being a regular on the American League staff for years. He went to the majors from the International League.

Jones Eager to Resume Work r s/ T'nit' and Prr9B ATLANTA. Sept. 29 Robert Tyre ( Bobbyt Jones Jr., came home to a quiet, almost informal reception today, eager to get. back among his law books. There will be little o no golf for Jones for some weeks if he follows his announced intention. Atlanta gave Bobby a princely welcome when he won the open at Interlachen. Everything that could be done was done then, so a celebration today appeared a bit anticlimatic.

MACK TO START GROVE IN FIRST TILT OF SERIES

Grimes Is Probable Choice of St. Louis Athletics Strong Favorites to Continue American League Supremacy, Established in 1927, Despite Fast Finish of ‘lnspired’ Red Birds, 1926 Champs. BY FRANK GETTY Lnited Press Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.—The gray-haired old gent who has been holding down a cracker box for several days outside the bleacher entrance to Shibe park, intent upon being the first fan in line for the world series, was rewarded this morning by the sight of the Philadelphia Athletics reporting for early practice. The St. Louis Cardinals, National League representatives for the third time in five years, were due this afternoon, and with the pennant races at an end this sombre city took on an air of excitement which was reflected throughout the nation wherever baseball fans gathered together.

Not since 1926 has the National League had a winner in the world series, and the odds that it will do so thi* time are slight, Indeed. But some of these same Cardinals recall the taste of victory, and the Athletics may be in for a far stiffer fight than they encountered a year ago when they maintained American League supremacy in no uncertain fashion. No Surprise This Year Connie Mack, after nearly half a century in baseball, still refuses to discuss the chances of his team or to tell in advance his plans. But he admitted privately today the Cardinals might as well be prepared to face left-handed pitching on the opening day of the series Wednesday, since one Lefty Grove will be sent against the National League champions. Last year. Connie crossed the Chicago Cubs by starting Howard Ehmke, a side-arm pitcher who had not figured at all in the closing stages of the American League pennant race. Ehmke beat the Cubs, and the outcome of the 1929 series no longer was In doubt. This time, old Mr. McGillicuddy intimates he will play his ace and start Grove against St. Louis. Burleigh Grimes, veteran, spitba)ler, is regarded as Grove’s probable opponent in the opener. Expect Close Series The Cardinals are entering the series touted as an “inspired” team, because they moved up from behind during September and snatched the National League''pennant away from three more highly favored contenders. But, it will take more than inspiration to connect with Lefty Grove’s fast ball and to check the hitting of A1 Simmons, Jimmy Foxx and Cochrane. While it seems probable this year's National League representatives will better the record of their immediate predecessors and take more than one game from the Athletics, the latter remain strong favorites to win both the opener and the series. The Athletics finished the season with 102 victories and fifty-two defeats, having coasted home to victory during September. The Cardinals, on the other hand, only found themselves late in the season, and are on tip-toe. Whether this situation will react to the favor of the National League representatives remains to be seen. Sentimentalists would have us believe the Cardinals’ inspiration will carry them on to victory, somewhat as the Boston Braves rode roughshod over the Athletics sixteen years ago. Sane judgment tells us that the Athletics are the better ball club and likely to demonstrate it this week.

Babe Prefers Cardinals 1 Infield and Macks 1 Garden and Catching

BY BABE RUTH I don't think anybody will disagree with me in a statement that the Athletics will have the edge on the Cardinals behind the bat in the world’s series. The same thing could be said about the A.s in a series with any other club in baseball. Connie Mack is fortunate right

now in having on his ball team the best catcher in the game. In fact, Cochrane stands out as one of the best catchers, if not the very best, in baseball history. It is no reflection on the Cardinals’ maskmen to say that they run second. Jimmy Wilson is one of the best backstops now playing ball.

; !

Ruth

but he has been out with a sprained ankle and may rr 4, figure heavily in the series. Gus Mancuso has come through handsomely as substitute for Wilson and his batting will do the Cardinals no harm. But he lacks the experience of Wilson and Cochrane. 1 consider the Cardinals have an edge in infielders, but I like that outfield of the A's. In grouping the players this way I am considering them in all-round worth, not alone ! as defensive u.iits. . I am taking into i consideration the^hustling spirit, the hitting ability, in fact everything that a player can do. Frisch Is Standout Frank Frisch's presence makes the National League infield stand out over its American League rival quartet. The A's have no such player around second base. I have played against Frisch in four world series and I saw him play through another one. I regard him as one of ithe great “money” players of the years that I have been looking at baseball. By that I mean he rises to great heights with the importance of the event. In the 1928 series, Frank had a rather bad time, but in his four other series he was a powerful hitter and a sparkling fielder as well. He has taken part in something like thirty series games and is not likely to become flustered about anything. Mack has a capable defensive player at second in Max Bishop. Max is smart and seldom makes a 'mistake. But he is no such worry jto opposing pitchers as Frisch, i Max’s strongest point is a keen eye !at the plate, and this makes up somewhat for a shortage of base hits. I believe he gets more walks than any other lead-off man in the American League. The A's impress me as havinr the edge at first bfse and thud, with

Athletics Are 10*7 Choice fir/ t lilted Frees NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Jack Doyle, Broadway betting commissioner, quoted 7 to 10 odds against the Philadelphia Athletics today te win the world series.

Gabby Knows How to ‘Four Flame’ on the Boys—He Learned hi France

EDITOR’S NOTE—Gabby Street was a. soldier in France. Stories of his World War experience and his leadership of the National League pennant winners arc told in this second and concluding chapter of “The Life of Gabby Street." BY WILLIAaFbRAUCHER NEA Service Sports Editor TWO buck privates sat on a log in the Argonne forest Oct. 2. 1918, discussing the discrepancies of the United States army. Suddenly overhead there was the roar of an airplane motor. “Let’s take a pot shot at that bird,” said one of the bucks. He had no sooner spoken than the rat-a-tat-tat of a machine gun broke through the drone of the engine. One of the bucks went dowrn with a bullet in his leg. “Guess he beat us to it,” said the buck, ripping his mud-caked pants to give himself first aid. And that was how’ Charles (Gabby) Street, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, got his w’ound stripe in the World war. B B B CRABBY STREET, a black-eyed J Alabama boy, came to the majors in 1908, and caught the fireball of Walter Johnson for four years. The Senators traded “the old Sergeant.” as he is familiarly called by his associates, to the Yankees in 1912. Gabby w’as with the Yankees but a short time when he was sent back to the minors, W’hence he had emerged in 1908. “The old Sarge” drifted from place to place in the Southern League. He was at Chattanooga and Nashville. Wherever he went he carried the reputation of being

the Cardinals carrying the greater strength at shortstop and second base. Neither Foxx nor Bottomley has batted this year up to 1929 form, but either one is always dangerous. I recall what a lot of misery Bottomley gave us in the 1926 series, but he had a sorry time in 1928. That was true of most all the Cardinals. Bottomley is a flashier fielder than Foxx and I guess a little more effective in defensive play. But Foxx is a very capable first sacker and a powerful hitter. I like Dykes over Adams because Jimmy is one of the “fightingest” players in the game. By that I don't mean rowdy. I mean he is always hustling, full of pep and never gives up. He is the type of player who will keep things pepped up even when a game is going the wrong way. Adams is of a calmer and quieter temperament. There isn't any worthwhile difference in their

Babe Ruth Hurls Yankees to Victory Over Boston Red Sox

By United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 29 —Final major league games Sunday provided many surprises. Babe Ruth, after many years in the outfield, returned to the mound to pitch the New York Yankees to a 9 to 3 victory over the Boston Red Sox, the team for which he was a star hurler back in 1916 and 1917. Despite his long absence from the box, Ruth seems to have retained much of his pitching skill which made him one of the greatest lefthanders the game has known. He allowed eleven hits, but the Red

STOPPING these powerful righthanded swingers will be one of the i3 big problems for the Cardinal pitchers in the baseball classic startI ing in Philadelphia Wednesday.

a smart baseball man, full of tfie tricks and cunning of the trade. When the United States declared war in 1917. Street was just starting the bqseball season. He was torn between two loves, his natural love for baseball and his appetite for fighting. Finally, in November, 1917, “the old Sarge” succumbed to the temptation—and enlisted in the Thirtieth engineers, a gas and flame regiment, at Williamsport, Pa. 808 THE Thirtieth Engineers were hustled overseas without much ceremony. After reaching France Gabby found himself attached to the First gas regiment, chemical warfare division. In September, IS2B, the regiment was rushed to the front for the last great offensive in the Argonne. On Sept. 26, they gave Gabby his fireworks with orders to “lay a screen of smoke and liquid fire for the One hundred thirty-eighth infantry of the Thirty-fifth divi- ! sion.” And how “the old Sarge” poured it on ’em! It was a few days later when the German flier paid Gabby back for the chemical outrages he had wreaked upon the Fritzies. With the bullet in his leg, Street was taken back to a field hospital, where he remained until December, 1918. He arrived back in the United States on New Year’s eve and was mustered out at Camp Dix. tt B B “T WENT over as a first sergeant,” A Gabby once told me, “but after having a row with my company commander over how to run the war, was reduced to private.”

stick work and their fielding is about on a par. Both are transplanted third basemen who have spent a great part of their major league careers at either positions. Dykes has had more experience at third. I give Gelbert the call over Boley on his superior hitting. Joe is quite a fielder and they tell me the same goes for the Cardinal shortstop. He wasn’t in the majors when we played the Cards in the 1928 series. National League men tell'me he is a dandy player. Boley is not an impressive pastimer, but he is good enough to keep all rivals on the bench. Joe hasn’t the best arm in the world, but he gets a ball away fast and gets as many runners as any of the strong arm shortstops throw out. Each team stands out above the other in two infield positions, but for all around strength I like the Cardinals’ quartet. fCoovrisht. 1930. by The Christv Walsh Syndicate i

In proof of the fact that you can’t keep a good man down, Gabby was restored to a sergeantcy a short time after his demotion. But he became entangled in another argument with the military powers and was reduced to private’s rank again. Finally, however. Gabby was mustered out as a first-duty sergeant. Home from the war. Street, nearly 36 years old, went back to baseball in the minor leagues. He bobbed up as manager at Suffolk, in 1920.

Bv United Preen ST. LOUIS. Sept. 29.—The spirited St. Louis Cardinals were en route to Philadelphia today to represent the National League in the world series opener at Shibe park. Charles E. (Gabby) Street, manager of the champions, led his players to the train shortly after a 3-to--1 victory over Pittsburgh completed the season Sunday. The victory gave the Cardinals their final series of the season, three games to one, and was their thirty-first victory in thirty-seven starts. Street said before departure that he saw no reason “but to hope and look forward to the world's championship.” Jimmy Wilson, catcher: Sylvester Johnson, pitcher, and Frankie Frisch, second baseman. ! whose ailments or injuries caused 1 worry last week will be in firsti class shape for the series, Street said.

for him. He was a driver, inasmuch as he demanded a day’s honest work out of every man, but he was fair. In October last year he was notified that he was the choice for the manager’s job in 1930. Almost from the first, the Cardinals ran into hard luck. At one time they battled along without Bottomley, Frisch, Hafey and other stars incapacitated by injuries. But “the old Sarge” kept up the spirits of his crew. Two months ago the Cardinals were not being spoken of as pennant contenders. Still Gabby kept fighting. There were signs of indifferent playing. Gabby lectured the boys until his jaws ached. Some of the players gave evidence of paying no attention to his exhortations, whereupon Gabby began slapping SIOO fines here and there. Gabby talked so much to his men,

having succeeded Bill Carrigan. Prior to becoming manager, Wagner served as assistant to Carrigan while the latter was manager. Following the recent ousting of Joe McCarthy as manager of the Chicago Cubs, it Had bee>- rumored that he might become .nager of the Red Sox. Preside Bob Quinn of the Red Sox and McCarthy are close friends, and it is known Quinn has a high regard of McCarthy's ability.

Indiana, Rose Poly, Ejirlham and Muneie Elevens Win

BY DICK MILLER Hoosier football fans, after two weeks of appetizers, today were looking forward to a select menu of games next week-end, when every state college eleven will swing into action. Nine Indiana squads were in action Saturday, several for the first time, and some interesting results were recorded. Pat Page and his Indiana boys got away to a good start against a powerful Miami team. The Hoosiers were ragged in the first half, particularly on defense. It was a fighting gang of veterans from Oxford, however, and Pat’s boys should not be criticised too severely. Indiana never got near the goal in the first half. But the second half was a different storv. Ross completed a march from midfield with a touchdown, and Hughes plunged a short distance for one after Ross intercepted a pass and Saluski ran twenty yards off tackle. Hughes place kicked both extra points. Two of Page s new faces, Edmonds and Saluski, showed well. Reports from Franklin indicate that Phil Brown's Rose Poly team was superior in their game with Franklin, although the score was only 14-6. Hilton pounced on a blocked punt for six points after Rose had fumbled after carrying the oval to the 4-yard line. Franklin got a break when Poly was charged with interference on a forward pass on the 1-yard line and Downey scored In the last quarter Hill carried the ball over after a long drive. Tonetti kicked both points after touchdown. Tom Felix, veteran .'.uarter back, did splendid puntir.g for Earlham which enabled the Quakers to trounce Bluffton college of Ohio, 14-0. One of Felix's well-placed kicks went out near the Buckeye goal line. Earlham blocked the punt out and Powell fell on it for a touchdown. Kastetter intercepted a Bluffton pass and ran fifteen yards for the second touchdown. Whitey Toler and Red Meyers were the big guns in the Ball Teachers College, 14-0 victory over Valparaiso at Muncie under the lights.

Cathedral and Shortridge in Draw Struggle A crowd estimated at 8,000 was at Butler bowl Saturday night when Shortridge and Cathedral grid teams fought to a 6-6 draw. The game was ragged In spots, but some nice ball toting by Bulleit and McCreary, back field aces of the rival squads, and a fine passing attack by the Blue and White offset the dull moments. Shortridge scored first when Bulleit reeled off a forty-five-yard run and a pass to Berns in the end zone was made good. The extra point was not allowed. Cathedral scored in the second quarter after a march and a pass, McCreary to Sweeney, who eluded a tackier to run ten yards for a touchdown. Plunge for extra point was short. Shortridge nearly counted again in the final quarter, but Cathedral braced and held for downs on the one-yard line, and Wulle punted out.
