VET GRIMES KEYED TO PROVE CLASS AS ‘MONEY PITCHER

Spitball Ace Believes Self Fit for Victory Cards’ Righthander Has Confidence Galore as He Faces World’s Series Assignment: 'Breaks’ of 1920 # Recalled When Pitching for Brooklyn. BY JOE WILLIAMS Sports Editor New York Telegram PHILADELPHIA, Oct. I.—Throughout this broad land of ours, from the rock-bound coast of Maine to the sun-kissed shores of the Pacific, as the politicians so neatly put it, millions of people are following with avid interest the opening game of the world series between the Cardinals and the Athletics here today. There is a hysteria to world series games, ballyhooed to the skies, that catches the imagination of even the casual baseball fan, while the real red-hot enthusiast is bordering on sheer lunacy as the champion-

ahip battles get under way. Among the millions there is one who Is not tremendously excited over the opening game, although scarcely any one has more cause to be. Burleigh Grimes, who will trudge to the rubber at Shibe Park this afternoon and face the Athletics, is the phlegmatic one. To Burleigh, truculent spltballer and stormy petrel of many a clubhouse quarrel, the excessive ballyhoo has become rather boring. Just a Ball Game “Listen,” began Grimes, pausing to apply a fresh light to his cigar, "This is just a ball game, the ume as hundreds that I’ve pitched before. I'm confident that I’ll go out there and beat those guys, and I don’t care who I draw as my opponent. If it’s their best pitcher, why, so much the better, because then he’ll be out of the way for a while. "If I’m as good as I feel, I’ll win, and it doesn’t matter who pitches against me. If it’s going to be a question of the breaks, then I’m due to get some. I was on the short end of that world series game ten years ago when Wambsganss pulled that unassisted triple play and Elmer Smith hit one out of the park with three on, two things that never happened before or since in a world series and both of ’em had to happen when I was working. Deserves Breaks "It e about time some of that world series ".uck rolled my way, and if it doesn’t, well I’ll be out there firing away anyhow. "Honestly, I think too much fuss has been made over the whole thing. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a world series game or not, you’re going to throw the same kind of stuff and face the same kind of hitters, and what if they are strange hitters and I never saw them before? They never saw me, either, did they?” Whereupon Grimes, lord of Burleigh, crossed one leg over the other, lunged back in his chair, and took a good puff on his cigar. His awed listeners awaited further pronounciamentos upon the series and were astonished to hear him

resume his hunting discussing where he had left off when interrupted. It is a healthy and sane attitude that Grimes has taken on the affair and one which reflects the mental poise of the Cardinals as a whole.. The Cards won the pennant before anyone knew what was coming off and they have expectations of doing the same thing in the series. Burleigh Is Fighter Burleigh, with a blue stubble of a beard, seemed amiable enough to he stated his case this morning, but the even tone of his voice was belied by a glint to his eye and a hardening of the firm lines around his square jaw. Grimes is a fighter and always has been one. He came up to the big league fighting, leaning out of an upper berth on his first trip with the Pirates to throttle one of the Pittsburgh pitching awes who was foolish enough to call him a "busher.” In that same year with the Pirates he fought and wrestled with chunky Hugo Bezdek, then manager of the Pirates, up and down the aisles of a Pullman, until he had beaten him into submission. With Brooklyn he engaged in numerous altercations with players who crossed him, both on the other clubs and on the Dodgers. Victory Grimes’ Goal There is only one goal for Grimes —victory. In all of his many disputes, Burleigh never lost sight of that fact. Friend or enemy, it didn’t matter to Grimes as long as that player’s efforts helped Burleigh’s club to win. Aggressive players of Grimes’ type often act as a boomerang to their club because their aggression usually is self-centered, but Grimes is a team-player as well §is a fighter. Never having quit himself, he finds it an unpardonable sin in others. Tire veteran spitballer always has been at his best when the money was up, and the dough—the big dough—is up today and for the rest of the series, but especially today.

seemed to be no end of interest. But the so-called “economic depression” made itself felt at Shibe park where the first game was played today. Tickets in sets of six for which speculators had an asking price of S2OO a year ago, went begging for SSO. The management of the Athletics had to get busy with a telephone campaign Tuesday afternoon to dispose of some 8,000 tickets left on their hands by fans who had ordered them, but had nothing to use for money when it came to paying. So Philadelphia found itself with a world’s series in its lap, but without the usual unrestrained flow of

Indiana State Normal and Franklin clash at Terre Haute Friday night in the opening of the college season in that city. Evansville travels to McKendree, 111., Friday afternoon. Hanover meets the City of Louisville college at Louisville Saturday night, and Valparaiso journeys to Mt. Morris, 111., Saturday afternoon.

Babe Believes Macks Will Get jump at Home and Retain Title

BY BABE RUTH I figure the A’s will win the world series, probably in six games. They may turft the trick in five games, as they did last year against the Cubs. In the first place the schedule is in the champion Athletics’ favor. They play the first two games at Shibe park and they are particularly powerful oi) their home lot. They should get the jump on the Cardinals in these games and I can’t figure any club coming from behind to beat Mack’s team. Gabby Street must have a good ball club, but I figure the A’s as an

extra good team. They went more than two months this season without losing a series, and they won the pennant with something to spare. All year long they stood out in their own league in a manner which left no doubt as to their being the class. From the season’s batting averages one would

men. However, I have felt all year, and have mentioned in articles during the season, on what I believe is a difference in pitching. In some years the National pitching excels the American, and in some years the condition is reversed. I believe it is inferior pitching, rather than superior hitting, which accounts for six National League clubs hitting above the .300 mark this year, and for the fact the hitting generally has been quite a bit heavier in the National League. It’s an old story for the Mackmen to appear defeated in the latter fiart of the game, only to put on a rally. They did this twice against the Cubs last fall and they have been doing it all year in the American League. I like the A’s pitching. Some say there is more class in the St. Louis staff as a group; and perhaps there is, but Grove and Earnshaw strike me as pitchers considerably above the average, and pitchers who are of extra value because they are ready to do relief work any day they do not start a game. With travel days after the second and fifth game Mack can jockey his pitching to get the most out those two stars. I always have maintained that any team good enough to win a pennant is good enough to win a series. The

They were those in the head of the bleacher line and the first to buy from the assortment of 2,000 bleacher tickets which were offered for sale at the box office this morning.

Cardinals, can, and may, win. But I don’t figure any team in baseball is quite good enough to be rated a favorite over a dot her team that has done what the A’s have done this season. Certainly the Cardinals have not reached that high* mark in team hitting this year against pitching which is on a par with what they will see in this series. I am sure they have not gone against any such pitching in a single series as Connie Mack has at his command. It is taking nothing from Gabby Street to figure the A’s should have the edge in strategy. My hat is off to Street for coming through with a winner on his first opportunity, but Connie Mack is an old hand at this world series business and he is a past master at jockeying pitchers and pulling surprises. It will take a lot of baseball to beat Mack in a series of any length and I don’t figure the Cards, good as they are, can do it.

New Coaches —No. 1 Spears’ Team Promises Trouble in Far West

EDITOR’S NOTE—This is the first story in a series of ten articles on important changes in Ihe football coaching kingdoms throughout the east, west and middle west. BY CHESTER L. SMITH NEA Service Writer CLEVELAND, Oct. I.—As the weather man would say, "there is a disturbance of considerable intensity developing in the neighborhood of Eugene, Ore., which may cause storms throughout the Pacific coast.”

In other words. Dr. Clarence Spears, illustrious son of Wcwanee, 111., has suncceeded Major John J. McEwen, the former West Pointer, as head coach of football at University of Oregon. It seems to be axiomatic that wherever Dr. Spears sets down his 260 pounds, there accumulates trouble — for his opponents. The balloon-like medico started his coaching at his alma mater, Dartmouth, shortly after the war, and when Major Frank Cavanaugh left, it was only logical that he should take over the schooling of the Green Mountain boys. Dartmouth, which had been wondering when another great team was due, immediately burst into full bloom under the doctor’s dynamic touch, and when he left in 1920 to go to West Virginia the eastern seaboard was glad enough to see his herculean shoulders disappear over the Allegheny mountains.

<Kv yw '

Spears

Spears found the Mountaineers in the doldrums. “I’ll either make a football team out of this mob or quit coaching,” he snorted after his first week. In another twelve months, West Virginia was the scourge of the countryside, his 1923 and 1924 elevens were the strongest in the school’s history. Minnesota claimed the doctor in 1925. He immediately began applying restoratives to the Norsemen, giving them an undefeated team in 1927 and wiping out many of the Gophers’ old scores. Last winter Spears wfcnt to the west coast to attend the series of holiday post-season games. Oregon saw its chance, offered him the berth left vacant by Major McEwan and was both surprised and delighted when he accepted. Spears, named an all-America guard by Walter Camp in 1915, is noted for the fundamental soundness of the line play he teaches and the smashing power he is able to build into his attack. His elevens have always blocked beautifully and tackled like so many young savages. (Next Purdue and Nible Kizer.)

Joe McCarthy

tHE big news out of Philadelphia today preceding the opening world’s series clash was the announcement that Joe McCarthy, until recently the pilot of the Chicago Cubs, had been signed to manage the New York Yankees in 1931, succeeding Bob Shawkey. Hie move keeps the popular Joe with a wealthy club and it can be taken for granted his contract calls for a rich salary. McCarthy took the Cubs when they were in the cellar, advanced them to fourth place in one year and to the pennant in four years as well as to second place this season in the face of injury handicaps and the death of a regular pitcher, Hal Carlson.

Packed Hall Sees Pickerd Slash Out Win Over Cook

A few months ago it was Chuck Wiggins who packed the fans around the local roped arenas. But today there is another. Walter Pickerd, big blonde beak-buster, changed their opinion. The local heavyweight star came through with a surprising ten-round triumph over George Cook, the rugged vet from Australia, at Tomlinson hall Tuesday night. One of the biggest crowds of recent years, locally, that jammed old Tomlinson hall to the brim, was treated to the best card in weeks. Every seat in the hall was taken, including "peanut heaven,” and hundreds stood in the aisles. In defeating Cook, Pickerd exploded the belief that he would wilt before a star performer. He fought Cook in any manner the vet desired and beat him. It was by far Pickerd’s best bout. He tied Cook up in
