Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct, 4.—This may be Connie Mack’s last year in <he dugout. And again it may not. The annual rumor that the aged gentleman is about to step down and hand over the managerial reins of the Athletics to Eddie Collins is again going the rounds. Connie tells you there is nothing in it. • “I want to stay in baseball as long as I can,” he says. There is no good reason why he should quit. His noodle is as nimble as ever. a a a A r<ir uo he ont-mneuv*r*d the Culm at ereey tern end thli year he hai handled the Athletlca faoltleMly arainst the Cardinals. That snoeeie play he put on in the Aral tame —and I understand It was his play—still remains the hlrh spot In the aeries. a a a The experts are criticising Gabby .Street for starting the eccentric Flint Rhem in the second game. They claim he had neither poise nor the stuff to work in such a critical contest. The outcome of the jame would seem to confirm this opinion. But Street has made an unusual case of Rhem this year. In his day, Street was something of a himself. Growing older, he changed his mode of living. ana Street *. a very liberal minded n<l tolerant man. It was easy for bin, to be roror a sympathetic supporter h“ n Uoandßhe- claim.* he had ben held captive by two Broad way Kunmen—or waa It tailed Rhem to bis room and told him to foreet all about the Incident. a a it ':TS) £?*'“■.. * *™ a , n s O "JS' l„S°RhKn”n. §asb^Sffifa6.JS , sss sans.? f •£*> a smart hittins: ball club. n * THE best pitching the Cardinals have shown so far came from two substitutes. Lindsey and Johnson, both of whom perforated after Rhem had failed in the second game. Lindsey pitched two and a third innings and none of Mack men was able to get to first Johnson walked two of the first three hitters to face him, but did not yield either a hit or run in the two innings he worked. a a tt Whether Undsey or Johnson could have maintained such a pace over a full length ball game is something else. Undsey. .n particular, looked as If he rou pttehed all day. He is * a with no great amount of imagination, an to him a world series game Is Just another ball game. m a a Ho rame into the game and stopped the KHKe Sfflff ff^pnJe h | him and very likely is. a a a LINDSEY is something of a sketch. The first year up with Cleveland he deserted the club because he couldn’t get the kind of biscuits around the hotel his wife cooked for him. It was his thought that if fellow had to neglect his epicurean desires in order to become another Addie Joss then baseball was hardly the business for him. a a a Lindsey used to pitch in the Southern League. One of hi# team mates waa Dixie WaJker, a fast ball pitcher, who had a couple of big league trials. Walker was a professional bad man. He carried a shot gun around the elreult with him. (In occasions, he would become very malanrholy and only the companionship of Undsey would bring solace to his depressed mind. a a a Lindsey did not care particularly for Walker's company, but he had a deep and abiding respect for Walker's shotgun. One night in a Pullman. Walker did no* wish to sleep alone, so he compelled Lindsey to get out of his berth and sit beside him. a a a He handed Lindsey the shotgun and said: “Now If anybody tries to annoy me give him both barrels.” Lindsey sat up all night from Memphis to New Orleans with th® shotgun across his knee guarding the troubled slumbers of Walker. a a a IF this is not sufficient insight into the charming personality of the Cardinals’ righthanded flinger. you may be interested in another episode in which Walker figured prominently. Walker liked to take long walks after midnight, and his favorite walking companion was Lindsey. *. a a On certain night in Nashville. Walker and Undsey went for a long walk. At intervals. Walker would stop, throw back his head, and emit a lonr ear piercing shout. After which he would turn to Undsey and make him exercise his tonsils in a similar manner and chord. a a a In due time an officer of the law approached Walker and ventured to inquire Just what Walker and his companion were doing and why. a a a “We're hollering, and we are going to holler some more.” he answered. Turning to Undsey he added, “and yor are going to holler rlrht with me. ain't you Jim?” Whereupon the two threw back their noble beans, opened their cavernous mouths wide and tore off another beautiful •cream. a a a Walker and Lindsey were late for the ball game the next day. They had been detained the rest of the night and a large part of the following day in the local jug.

CONNIE MACK HOPES FOR CLEAN SWEEP OF SERIES

A’s Pilot Seeks First Four-Straight Victory Philadelphia Leader Has Won Every Other Honor During Long Career; Pins Chances on Grove and Earnshaw. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY L'nlted Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4.—Fifty years of baseball have yielded Connie Mack every reward except a w#rld championship in four straight games. Two straight victories over the St. Louis Cardinals in the current series have placed the 1930 edition of the Philadelphia Athletics within reach of baseball’s highest attainment, and Connie Mack has resolved to make every move toward gaining a clean sweep. The A’s need victories today and Sunday to win in four games, and Connie Mack virtually had made up his mind to send Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw back against the Cards to get these games.

Grove beat the Cards in the first game with his stuff, 5-2. Earnshaw handcuffed the Cards in the second game, winning 6-1. The logical move for the veteran manager to make in an effort to win the series in four straight is to pitch Grove today and Earnshaw Sunday, instead of gambling on Rube Walberg, or his two youngsters Bill Shore? and Leroy Mahaffey. After the first game, Mack was asked when Grove would be ready to work again, and he replied: “Ttomorrow if I need him. He didn T t have his stuff today, and he’ll be better the next time he works.” Earnshaw Volunteers Several times during the season Grove worked on successive days, as a starter one day and a relief pitcher the next. On one occasion he pitched three days in a row against the Boston Red Sox, one complete game and twice in reiief roles, winning all three. Earnshaw also has pitched on successive days without rest. Grove pitched 291 innings in fifty games daring the season, winning 28 and losing 5. Earnshaw pitched 293 ininngs in forty-nine games, winning 22 and losing 13. Earnshaw has told Connie Mack that he is ready to pitch again when needed, and volunteered to work today if necessary. A difference of opinion has cropped out among the St. Louis Cardinals as to who should be entrusted with the task of winning the all-important third game. If the Cards lose today, they might as well pack up and get ready to go home for the winter. Manager Gabby Street went to bed Friday night, insisting that Bill Hallahan, erratic southpaw with a dazzling fast ball, would work today. Orher members of the Cards were ir. favor of sending Jesse Haines, a right-hand curve ball pitcher, to the box. Suicide for Lefties The late Miller Huggins used to say it was suicide to pitch a lefthander against the Athletics, with their wrecking crew of right-handed hitters, Dykes, Simmons, Foxx and Millef. Few American League southpaws have had much success against the A.s the last two years. Curveball pitchers always give the A.s trouble. Street announced his choice of pitchers for every game before the series opened, picking Grimes,! Rhem, Hallahan and Haines to work in that order. He has stuck to his program in the first two games, and lost, but in desperation he may be forced to switch today. “If Hallahan pitches today,” said one prominent American Leaguer who is familiar with the southpaw’s style, “he won’t last six innings. He bears down too hard on every pitch. He may go great for four or five innings, and then all of a sudden the A’s will blast him all over the park.” TJp against it any way he turns, Street has made one shift in the Card’s lineup for today’s game, Gus Mancuso, young catcher, in favor of Jimmy Wilson, first string receiver who has been on the bench with an injured ankle. Wilson’s headwork is expected to help steady the Card’s on the defense although it means a loss of offensive strength as Mancuso is a more dangerous hitter than Wilson. Star Drafted by White Sox to Play Here Fred Eichrodt, slugging New Orleans outfielder recently drafted by Ownie Bush’s White Sox, will be seen in center field for the All-Pros Sunday afternoon when they play Jewell’s A. B. S.’s a double-header at Washington park. Eichrodt is a local product held for a big price by New Orleans only to be caught in the draft. Stars from the Chicago Negro League club will bolster the A. B. C.’s for the twin bill. The majority of positions on the All-Pro nine will be filled by Indianapolis A. A. players. Red Russell may be used on the Pro mound in one game. He is trying pitching again after years in the outfield and allowed only one run in five innings last Sunday. The double bill will start, at 2 p. m. PURDUE TILTS ON AIR WBAA Will Broadcast Games at Boilermaker School.

A’s Not Playing Over Heads, Says Babe; Believes Cardinals in Slump

BY BABE RUTH

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 3.—l’ve got a hunch that this world series is drawing close to the finish. The Cardinals, back on their home lot and cheered on by loyal home fans may make a fight of it yet, and of course there’s always the possibility that they may come back to win even after those two defeats. But I don’t think so. As I size up the two games that have already been played, it strikes

me that the A’s have done just about as expected. They haven’t been sensational. They haven’t played over their heads. They have just gone along playing the same sort of ball they played all season, no better and no worse. All season long, Cochrane and Simmons, and Foxx and Miller have hit in pinches. All

Ruth

season long Boley, Bishop and Dykes have come through with great plays when great plays were needed. Some of the National Leaguers seem to think the boys have been playing over their heads. But they haven’t. I’ve watched them and fought them all season long and I’m telling you that the A’s, as they appeared in the world series, are just the same as the A’s during the regular season.

Buckeyes Nose Out Butler and Wabash Drops Tight Tilt

BY DICK MILLER Butler university surprised a multitude of grid fans Friday night as the Bulldogs nearly edged out a victory over the vaunted Ohio university team at the Butler bowl. The Buckeyes, undefeated since 1928, were able to squeeze out a 12-7 win in the last quarter. Some times it takes years to do it, but it can be done and Oakland City dropped a powerful Central Normal team of Danville 12-0. A savage last quarter rally by Wabash fell short of victory and the Scarlet was nosed out of a tie in a game that was settled when try for extra point failed after the final gun was exploded. The score was Manchester, 13; Wabash, 12. Franklin Loses Battle It was a stubborn Franklin team, much improved over their performance of a week ago, that battled Indiana State Teachers at Terre Haute before succumbing to defeat 8 to 0. Friday afternoon and night grid results proved entirely the uncertainty of football and the chance for the upset. Lone-handed, or should we say “footed,” Kenny Booz and his educated punting toe nearly gave Butler the edge in their game with Ohio U. After a scoreless first quarter the invaders drew first blood when they benefited bj a half-dis-tance-to-goal-penalty, taking the ball on the 22-yard line from where Phillips and Hart plunged in three plays. Hin :liman Goes Over The Buldogs came back and once Hinchman was stopped six inches from goal. But a passing attack was not to be denied and a heave, Booz to Ray Miller, was short of a touchdown only because Miller stepped out less than a yard of goal. Hinchman quickly plunged over. Polizotto added the edge point with a place kick and Butler led 7 to 6 at half time. A 20-yard punt return by Maurer, a 25-yard pass, Maurer to Burke, and an end run by Hart took the ball to the Butler 4-yard line where the Bulldogs repulsed three plays before Kepler plunged over, but the extra point try failed. It was all Kelly at Oakland City, the Oak quarter back counting both touchdowns against Central Normal both scores coming in the last half. Loge was a great aid to Kelly. Goda Is Star The first half of the FranklinState game was a bit in favor of Franklin, with Downey, Surface and Ellington frequently threatening the State goal. An occasoinal -dash by little Tom Goda, sub half back for State, kept the State team alive. Dick and Carl played great defensive games, but a cut-bcak play with Goda carrying the oval placed the ball on the one-yard line and Martin carried it over. Place kick for added point was wide, but after Franklin stopped a State scoring march on the two-yard line, a Franklin man blocked his own team’s punt and the ball rolled out of the end zone for a safety, which ; ended the scoring. Chapman Leads Chesters Chapman, for three years one of the mainstays of the Manchester team, was the whole works Friday night at Crawfordsville, and he scored the first touchdown in the first quarter after being on the heaving end of some short effective j passes In the third quarter Chap- | man tossed one to Tully after a ; Wabash fumble and Chapman place i kicked the extra point, giving the I Chester a 13-0 lead.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Fields Tops Armory Bill

Jackie Fields

The Cardinals, on the other hand, have slumped from their season form. The Cardinals are a better ball club. A tougher ball club, a more polished club than they have shown in this series. In the two games that have been played we’ve seen them at their worst. Perhaps in the first game here they will find themselves and play the sort of ball they’re capable of playing. Whether, playing at top speed, they are able to win back the ground they have lost re;, lains to be seeh. Personally, I don’t think they can. My experience with the Athletics is that they play just the sort of ball they need to play to win. If winning is easy, they take things that way. If the going is tough, they’ve got the reserve pressure to meet the opposition. Gabby Streei will start Halldhan in the opening game at St. Louis. I’m anxious to see him work. I’ve never seen Bill in a full game, but from the reports I get he must be one of the best left-handers in the business. National Leaguers tell me he is faster than Grove. I can’t quite believe that and won’t until he shows me out there on the mound. Ordinarily, the A’s are a tough club against left handers. But if Hallahan is as good as these fellows tell me, he’ll give the A’s plenty of trouble, or any other club he faces. And if Hallahan can win this one the Cards will be right back in the running again, with Grimes ready for a comeback and Sylvester Johnson on deck. Per-

backs made five first downs and a touchdown, but the kick for extra point was low. When Chapman punted to midfield, Mathews galloped 50 yards for a touchdown as the game closed. With a chance to tie hanging in balance, Weldy, Chester tackle, broke through and blocked the attempted kick for extra point.

Rush Heise of Indianapolis and George Milligan of Evansville will clash in the fourround opener.

sonally, I was more impressed with Syl Johnson than with any Cardinal pitcher I've seen thus far. To my mind that sweeping side arm motion of his is the thing that is most likely to give the A’s real and constant trouble. I don’t know who Connie will start, but I have a hunch it will be Grove. With two days rest Bob ought to be able to come right back again and you’ve got to remember this—that first game he wasn’t himself. He won despite bad pitching and thanks largely to fine defensive play. The Cardinals haven’t yet seen the real Grove—they have not yet had a taste of his real speed or had a look at his best curve ball. If it’s Grove against Hallahan, then I figure we’re due to see the classiest baseball exhibition of the entire series. The disappointment of the series thus far, to me, has been the inability of Bottomley and Hafey to do any hitting. These two boys are real sluggers and I know it. Thus far the Athletics have kept them tightly bottled up and between them they have had only one hit. But they’re apt to break loose any time, and when they do, Connie’s pitchers are due for plenty of trouble. In the long run though—well, I’ve said all season long that the A’s were one of the best ball clubs of recent years and I see no reason to change my opinion now.

Continentals Trip Manual It was a glorious dedication day at Washington high school’s new athletic field Friday afternoon, with the Continentals scoring a 27-0 vicwin over a strong Manual team. Playing before a big crowd, the west siders, led by Captain Luzar, who scored three touchdowns, ended the first half leading 20-0. Pullen also scored for the Purple.

for world series games. Crowds typical only of this city on the west bank of the Mississippi, surged about the streets and found their way to the ball park, but Cardinal rooters were decidedly, in the Missouri "show me” frame of mind. Only a few loyal fans were at the station when the Cardinals arrived from Philadelphia, and, if anything, the Athletics were given a bigger hand when they stepped from their train. However, the city which went wild when the world’s championship was won in 1926 and was only glum when the Cardinals dropped four straight to the Yankees in the i.928 series, still had some hope that today would see the Red Birds back in the running. At the park there were long lines in front of the pavilion and bleachers gates, men and boys waiting for first chances on the rush seats. A local fan, L. C. Bradley, 28, led the bleacher seat aspirants. He had been sitting on a box since 7 a. m. Thursday. The reserved seats, 27,000 of them, were sold out for the series a week ago. The management had 50,000 more applications than seats. Texans in sombreros, Missouri farmers wearing black felt hats and easterners with derbies gave a cosmopolitan touch to the series crowds in the streets.
