Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept, 25.—0f course, any ball player, no matter how remarkable his Individual abilities, Is lucky to get Into a world series. Aside from the glory that goes with participation In the classic, there Is the little, but at times interesting and important matter of financial return. Last fall each of the winning Athletics collected $5,038 and the Cardinals got $3,536 apiece Ye*, they're all lucky. But there are • few on the list for the aerie*, which wUI •tart in St. Loul* next Thursday, who Are amazingly favored by the gods. On the Macklan side there are Lew Krausse. Jim Peterson. Phil Todt, Johnny Meting, Jim Moore and last, but not leapt. Waite Hovt. Among the Red Birds the super-fortunate are Mike Oonzales. Wallie Roettger, Andy High and Tony Kaufmann. In most cases the mere mention of the name explains the lucky tag. Just a year ago Krausse was the star of the Radnor high school nine In a auburb of Philadelphia. He had hurled a couple of no-hit, no-run games and was the star pupil of his dad. who will be remembered by older fans as a pitcher With the Phillies. Now Young Krausse Is In line for a full share of the world series swag. Thus far. he has appeared In only two games, with no time at bat. He has made one put out. has had one assist, and to keep the hoks even, has contributed one error, is that bird lucxv? You tell him. Mr. Hoyt! While on the subject of Hovt, there's a man who is a human magnet for the world aeries. A good part of the season he languished with the Tigers, getting nowhere. apparently ready to slide gracefully out of the big show. But Connie grabbed the veteran for the waiver price, and eased what looked like a tough spot for his small pitching staff. Waite has collected his bit out of six world series, and now maybe another •5.038. U u THE most fortunate player among the Cardinals is Andy High. You will recollect that during the winter Andy was released to Rochester. He kicked up quite a fuss. Andy had only a few months to go to become a ten year man and he felt that both the baseball gods and the Cardinals were giving him a raw deal. So High went into the public places and •auawked until even the heart of a magnate was touched. Sam Breadon took him back on the Cards. At the time the Redbirds were shorthanded In the infield and It loked as If High might get a lot of work. A things turned out High got Into flftv-nlne games. Roettger Is one of the super-lucky Cardinals, too. During the winter the Giants sold him for not much more than the waiver price to the Reds. Early in June the Cincinnati club traded Roettger and cash-to the Cards for Taylor Douthlt. It was a terrible blow to Douthlt. who lost his snap and punch In the shift to the banks of the muddy Ohio. But Roettger Is batting .319, and he Is fielding for .982 —and Is all set to take the world series check he missed when the Cardinals traded him to the Giants In 1930. Gonzales and Kauffman were rescued from the minors. Peterson of the A’s made a soft landing In July direct from the University of Pennsylvania. Todt and Heving were saved from the Red Sox. Moore went to Newark and then came back. They’re Just a lot of lucky guys, while thousands can’t even buy their way into the series.

BUTLER MAKES 1931 GRID BOW AGAINST FRANKLIN

Bulldogs to Under Blue Squad Is Smallest in Years, but Enthusiasm Is High.

Probable Starting Lineup

BUTLER FRANKLIN Runts 1 K Ellington Riser L. T Isselhardt L O Burgett . Hliun ............ , C Nelson , Sohl R a Dick i Mecum R. T Cleveland Norris R E Languell Hteaart Q Rohrabaugh Boo* L H Martin Stafford R H • Brower Raber . K Surface BY DICK MILLER Butler's “mystery eleven” will take to the gridiron at Butler bowl tonight for its first test of the season, Franklin providing the opposition under the arcs. Harry Bell, head coach serving his second year at Fairview, faced a gigantic test when practice sessions started this fall. He has found it rather hard to muster up three full teams for his complete squad. There have been larger squads at Butler but few of them have been more enthusiastic than the 1931 varsity group. Spirit and ambition to make the current team a winner is present in abundance. Ends Cause Worry Most perplexing of Bell’s problems is the end situation. Brock, 190-pound youth, shows promise but hasn’t cinched a berth. Ray Miller, Tech product, and Wolfe, two likely candidates, failed to put in their appearance. “Nig” Ennis, former Shortriage wingman who performed at guard last fall, may tie used to protect one of the flanks and snag passes. Pie is a dependable player but lacking in speed. Paul Tauer of Lebanon, making his first attempt at football, Norris and Eynathen of St. Louis, Concannon of Cathedral and i Cast are other candidates. Butler is well fortified at tackle. Mecum, a 200-pound husky who flashed real form late last season, would be a cinch but with the abundance of other tackles, may be shifted to center. Brandt and Lewis Rufli are other veteran candidates, while Mozingo of Shelbyville, Joe Reeves, 230-pound former Tech player and Donges are others in the thick of the fight.

Elser to Wing Earl Elser, who plays at end or tackle, probably will be used at end, along with Ennis. Blinn of Kokomo, Moore of Shortridge and Blackburn are center candidates, all good passers but lacking in size and probably will give way to Mecum. Chuck Sohl, a letterman, appears a certainty ‘at one guard, and Snyder of Galesburg, 111., a fast youth, looks good for a job. Koss of Shortridge, playing his first year, also is a candidate. With several versatile linemen, the outlook for strength in the forward wall is not as dark as lack of numbers would indicate. Booz Leads Backs Kenny Booz, triple threat performer and captain, probably will do the quarter back duties. He is getting stiff competition from George Zimmerman, a reserve last year. Jim Stewart, former Shortridge husky, is another backfield candidate of prominence who may get the signal barking duties. Raber, a letterman, is a leading half back candidate. A pair of huskies, Short Ray of Memphia and Stafford of Galesburg, 111., have excellent chances of making the varsity grade, both being fine blockers. Red Compton is seeking the full back job again. Hughes, a sophomore; Conrad, Peru husky; Dayton of lowa, small but a fine blocker; Knock of North Dakota, Boling and Layton, track athletes making their first attempts at football and Harrison Miller of Ft. Wayne are other candidates. Good Punters on Hand Booz, Knock, Compton and Stewart are capable booters in the backfield, and Elser and Mecum are available punters from the line. Booz, Zimmerman, Stewart and Stafford are accurate passers. Franklin comes here with its heaviest team in years, according to Coach Roy Tillotson, but will be handicapped by the temporary loss of Tom Downey, hard running and accurate passing half back frho is injured.

Twenty-one letter men are back from last year’s good team. Van Bibber and Buttner, tackles; Stears, Christman and Trimble, guards, and Kissel and Pope, half backs, are the most important players who are gone. - There is plenty of material to round out a strong line despite the loss of five regulars at tackle and guard. It is in the back field, however, where the Boilermakers abound in strength. Eleven backs who made letters last year and several prominent sophomores are bidding for places. Two back fields may be used. One is composed of Jack White at quarter back, Ed Risk and Jim Purvis at half backs, and Alex Yunevich and Roy Horstman at full back. All are seniors except Horstman who is a junior. Risk was the leading ground gainer of the Big Ten last year, averaging 6% yards every time he carried the ball.

Birds Invade Stadium Saturday for Windup Indians Will Close A. A. Season With Pair of Twin Bills; Exhibition With Cincy Reds Cirded Today; Cooney Blanks Tribe Thursday. BY EDDIE ASH Following the exhibition tilt with the Cincinnati Reds today, the Indians will battle the Columbus Red Birds on Saturday and Sunday in the final games of the American Association, double-headers being scheduled on both days. The Saturday twin bill will get under way at 1:30 and Tie Sabbath bargain attraction at 2 p. m. The Birds of Nemo Leibold have put on speed during the waning days of the campaign and are only one game back of the third-place Tribesmen. John Cooney, versatile pastimer with the Toledo Hens, took the mound Thursday for Casey Stengel’s crew and proceeded to turn in a shutout, winning Bto 0. The left-hander was in brilliant form and held the locals to four hits Manager McCann poling three, including two doubles. George Smith got the other Tribe bingle. Cooney was backed by marveloff ofThe paths* StOPS rUnning catches helped keep the Indians

Bill Thomas, rookie right-hander, was no puzzle to the Hens and was knocked out in the third inning. Smith toiling in the box the balance of the game. Two triples and two doubles were included in the seven-teen-hit total compiled by Toledo. The Thursday triumph gave the Hens three out of five in the series. Toledo hopped off to a three-run lead in the first stanza and in the fourth another rally good for four runs was staged, bringing the score to 7 to 0 in three rounds. The other Hen marker was registered in the fourth canto, ending the scoring for the afternoon. Ernie Wingard walloped two doubles and a single, Nigro poled a triple and two singles and Turgeon was another top hitter with three singles. Shortstop Mulleavy was another Toledo factor with a single and triple, batting in three runs. Cooney touched off his "mowing” performance in the opening round, striking out Goldman and McCann and getting Rosenberg on a grounder. No local athlete reached base until after one down in the fourth when McCann hit for two cushions to the left-field corner. Koenecke walked in the same inning. It was after two outs in the sixth before the Indians obtained another safety. McCann again shooting a double to left, but was left on second. In the eighth after two down Smith scratched a single through the infield and was promptly forced by Goldman. In the ninth McCann found a safS snot for his third consecutive blow. Rosenberg popped out and Koenecke hit into a double play to end the game. In six of the nine Innings only three batsmen faced Cooney, which Is convincing proof that he enjoyed a rare day. This same Cooney also operates at times in the outfield and at first base for the Hens as well as acting as pinch hitter occasionally. He spent several years in the National League, but has not lost the spirit of youth and is a real hustler. Turgeon’s single In the first that scored two Hen runs was a pop flv that fell safe in short center. The wind was blowing in and the Indians failed to figure the breeze. The Toledo boys got other "bleeder” safeties, but they also landed on the sphere for enough solid swipes to beat any team the wav Cooney was pitching and with the suport they gave him. Mostil dashed over near the foul line in the third and came up with a low liner whaled by Kroner. There was nothing too tough for the tailenders in that game and they looked like champions. After McCann doubled in the fourth Rosenberg sent a hard smash at Mulleaw and McCann was erased sliding Into third. In the seventh Nigro ran all the wav to the scoreboard in left center and captured Fitzgerald’s mighty blast. In the eighth Kroner connected for a red hot liner and Turgeon was in the wav and snared it, though handcuffed. Mulleaw made a good stop on Riddle in the eighth and his hurried throw hit the dirt, but Wingard took it on the hop with a fine catch. While sprinting across the infield to call a play at first base In the sixth umpire Johnston lost his footing and performed a fancy skidding act on his stomach. His face got, red. naturally, but he gave the fans and players a better laugh by making decision before regaining his feet. The Indians also contributed some sparkling fielding when they weren’t running down base hits. Koenecke had six
