Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
Philadelphia Oct. B.—it is very embarrassing to walk out on one ol these baseball classics, as I believe they are called, and at a later period return to find that the thing has taken on all the aspects of a raging hit. I mean it sort of makes you look like a mug and the derisive cackling on the part of the brighter young men who had greater faith only serves to accentuate the torment. ana Njturtllr, Tour slandlnr an a reliable expert and a trustworthy critic suffer* because If you cannot tell when a aerie* in color to bo both a wow and a wham after looking at a larce nart of It then there mini he aomethlnr the matter with your lodgment and you ourht to co hack to the delicatessen store where yon were always considered a valued employe in the cheaper trade cheese department, except on Saturday nlrhts when the rush was on. ana I do not blame my colleagues for ‘•nickering as 1 pass them bv In the hotel lobby with mv chin held high and mv clear blue eves looking neither to right nor left To be sure, it Is an Unclubby atlitude and it shows thev do not esteem me as a brother, but this is because thev do net undei stand. ana From the beginning I had a feeling that the 1930 blue ribbon event of baseball would be the greatest series in the long history of what Calvin Coolldge -all* the national pastime, and It was with extreme reluctance and bitterness that I closed up mv typewriter after the second -ante and announced that I was leaving the troupe flat. ana THERE is about me the attributes of a Christian martyr. I stand up under punishment very nobly if I may say so myself. But there is a limit to all things and after t w o days of sitting in the press cells with George Herman Ruth directly back of me in an elevated position sprinkling hot cigar ashes on my neck I could go no further. a a a My neck Is not exactly what vou would call a model of physical perfertion. 1 don't suppose it even Qualifies as an ordinary neck. There is an interesting bend or bow In it midwav between the ears and the shoulder blades and there are curious wtreads of network here and there in the flesh that make it undesirable for caressing purposes, except in cases where the interested party is not very discriminating. But even so it’s not such a monstrosity as to be mistaken for an ash tray or a refuse box. a a a Ruth, as an observer of these great autumnal spectacles, has other characteristics which hardly add to the comfort or "i ell-being of the person or persons who 1 are unfortunate enough to be placed near him in tho press chambers.

3 Big Ten Tilts Set Vie With N. D.-Navy Game for interest in Midwest, BY DIXON STEWART Vnited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. B.—Big Ten football competition will begin in earnest Saturday, three conference games vicing with Notre Dame's intersectional classic against Navy for the feature position on the middle west's attractive gridiron program. The week's major games are: Notre Dame vs. Navy, at South Bend. Ind. Northwestern vs. Ohio State, at Evanston, 111. Michigan vs. Purdue, at Ann Arbor. Mich. Wisconsin vs. Chicago, at Madison. Wis. Minnesota vs. Stanford, at Minneapolis. Indiana vs. Oklahoma A. & M.. at Bloomington. Ind. lowa vs. Centenary, at lowa City. Illinois vs. Butler, at Champaign. 111. Notre Dame, as the west's leading contender for national championship honors, offers the most attracting spectacle, not only because of the expected excellent competition. but because the game marks the formal dedication of Notre Dame’s new SBOO,OOO stadium Big Ten interest is centered on the Ohio State-Northwestern clash. Northwestern is the universal favorite for the conference championship with Ohio State's early showing establishing the Buck"eyes as “dark horse” contender for nonors. Michigan and Purdue hold second rank in the conference, with Purdue almost a prohibitive favorite to win The Wisconsin-Chicago game will furnish the first serious test for both contenders. Wisconsin, boasting its best material in years, may be a strong contender for Big Ten honors. Much of the lustre was removed from the Minnesota-Stanford intersectional classic by the Gophers’ drubbing at the hands of Vanderbilt. The remaining three conference garnet are regarded as “practice” tilts, although both Indiana and lowa face possible defeat and Butler may give Illinois a strenuous test. • ;

Friday Afternoon Broad Ripple v S . Manual at Manual field. Friday Night Technical at I.inton Shovtridge at Flwood. Saturday Afternoon New Albany vs. Cathedral at Washington Park. Crispus Attueks at Xenia. Ohio. BY DICK MILLER Cathedral high holds the spotlight this week in local prep football circles with a clash against New Albany on the schedule for Saturday afternoon at Washington park. Sporting a couple ot topheavy victories this fall, the southerners will get a real test in the Cathedral game, as the locals have compiled a fine record. The game will be the only local grid attraction Saturday. Undefeated last year. New Albany has anew coach in A. E. Thom, brother of W. H. Thom, wrestling and assistant football coach at Indiana university. Thom has a big, powerful tackle in Kelso and some flashing backs, the leader being Wilcox, younger brother of Cotton Wilcox of Purdue fame. Kelso is the driving, aggressive type of tackle, usually smearing plays before they start. Cathedral dropped a big team last Saturday in Elder of Cincinnati, 13-6. On Friday afternoon there will be a city' series struggle between Broad Ripple and Manual at the Manual field. Washington gridders are without a game, due to cancelation by Rensselaer. Manual and Ripple should battle to the last ditch, as they appear evenly matched. It will be a great battle at Elwood Friday night with undefeated teams meeting, Shortridge and Elwood. Coach Jerry Naugle has a little the better of the advance record with wins over Westfield, Kirklin. Technical, all by four touchdowns, and a 14-12 win over Marion. Lon Goldsberry's boys dropped Sheridan, but ran into a tartar in Cathedral, the game ending in a 6-6 draw. Broad Ripple was easy last week, so the locals should be in great shape for Elwood.

Philly Fans at Last Show Some Interest in Classic
BY H. ALLEN SMITH I'nited Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 8.--Pledged to do or die for dear old St. Louis, for dear old Philadelphia and for the dear old gate receipts, which should easily approximate ,$150,000, the Cardinals and the Athletics will take the field at Shibe park today to decide a great number of wagers. Many of the gaming men, who have laid money on today’s contest, would like to see McGillicuddy’s clan polish things off for the year. But an even greater number would be tickled to death to see the westerners- take bludgeon in hand and do some old-fashioned whamming, scattering baseballs all over Philadelphia’s Eighth. Ninth and Tenth wards, which abutt the field of battle. At market opening in Independence Square this morning, the boys were putting down three to one that the A's will ultimately achieve victory. But as to the much discussed and equally moot question of today's contest, the odds were somewhat narrower. There being no clearing house for world series bets, it is difficult to de-

Bill Hallahan to Duel Earnshaw or Grove Both Clubs Batting Far Below Average. Due to Excellent Hurling: Bambino Expects Mack to Start Big Right-Hander. BY BABE RUTH PHILADELPHIA. Oct. B.—Well, perhaps we ll be going home tonight. Jt all depends on Bill Hallahan The little left-hander who started the Cards to victory last Saturday will have to carry the burden again this afternoon, I figure. I don’t see how Gabby Street can start anyone
else. Coming over on the train from St. Louis there was some talk among the boys that he might shoot through with either Haines or Sylvester Johnson today' and have Hallahan for Thursday. But that's foolish. A mistake today and there won’t be any Thursday. When a team is up against it like the Cardinals are, there’s no time for strategy’. You've got to shoot the best you have and let the other games take care of themselves. So far as that's concerned. I don’t see how Connie can gamble much either. About the only advantage Connie has is that he needs only one game to win while the Cardinals need two. So far as pitchers are concerned, I think the Cards have the edge. They have both Hallahan and Haines ready. Both men have pitched great games in this series. Both of them will go into the game with the full confidence of their team mates, and both have had ample rest.
Connie has only two pitchers who have shown anything at all—Grova and Earnshaw. Both of them have been overworked, but I figure Connie has got to depend on them just the same. I don’t know who he will start - —— ’ ... ... oro Vi if finer /inltr a Hffla AVOr
today, but it will be either Grove or Earnshaw, and you can bet on that. Personally, I would not be surprised to see him start Earnshaw. George is a big. strong fellow’ who can stand a lot of work, and I figure it would be good baseball to start George today and then use Bob for relief work if necessary'. However, that’s Connie’s problem, and I’ll say one thing for him, he doesn’t need any advice from me or any one else. He knows how to run his club and he’s a cinch to make the right move. I’ve a hunch we’ll see some real hitting out there this afternoon. Thus far in the series the games have been just one pitcher’s battle after another —and with hitters of the caliber of these two clubs, it doesn’t stand to reason that the series will be played without at least one free hitting contest. Neither A’s nor Cards, you know', have been hitting up to form. The

B,Joe McCarthy, former Chicago Cubs manager, may or may not sign with the New York Yankees, as reported, but one thing was certain today'— he will not manage the Boston Red Sox in 1931. Bob Quinn, president of the Boston American League baseball club, made that clear in a statement issued here Tuesday night in which he said that “under no circumstances will the Boston Red Sox consider McCarthy for manager.” Quinn’s statement follows: “After conferring with Joe McCarthy for more than tw’o hours, during -which conversation I made him the most generous proposition ever made to any one connected with the game of baseball, I am satisfied that I have done everything humanly possible to secure McCarthy’s services. “During the course of our conversation he impressed me with the fact that he preferred to handle a ready-made ball club that required little or no handling, to one that needed attention.”
