Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—They bundled up another baseball season Sunday and shipped it along to the historians. In games that had no more bearing on the point at issue than the mean average rainfall in the Andes, the A.'s and the Cards formally confirmed their championship accomplishments. Later in the week these two teems come together in the annual fall hysteria for the world* baseball title, so called because It embraces all part of the glo • except the orient. Europe, the continent. Russia and a few other scattered centers of culture. In many respects the season which ended Sunday was extraordinary. In a year In which gold standards fell and platinum blondes did the best they could, baseball maintained a consistently prospe.ous note at the ticket kiosks. There was a general slump in attendance, but on iv e average baseball stood up better under the depression than all other prosesMonal or amateur sports. indicating iherebv that It is still the national The two league races ran true oJorm. At the outset the betting men made the A , and the Cards the favorites. They cam. through. More than Ujjj. the was scateclv a period when there was ever in, doubt as to their ultimate success your correspondent managed tc through another season without having his splendid record for picking winners mined. His choices were the Brooklyn and Washington. The Brooklvns bv dint or sheer fight and amazing PBi*tence succedlng in finishing a bang up fourth. Washington limped home a third There were many reasons why v correspondent's choices did not win. the chief of which apparently Is they were, not good enough. The others don't matThe Yanks, under anew manager, did better than they figured to. I think this In a large measure Is due to the new manager. Joe McCarthy, a success with the Chicago Cubs, came to anew league and promtly demonstrated that he knows what It is all about. A member of the younger school, McCarthy Is Inventive and daring. All season he had the Yanks running the bases and blending speed with power in a way that made the games doubly interesting to watch. Under him. Chapman developed into the best base runner the majors have seen since the days of Max Carey, and the earlier days of Ty Cobb. The public acceptance of Chapman's exploits was enthusiastic. The rarity of the stolen base, plus the ability of Chapman, became a growing sensation. Even the Ruthlan home run as a spectacle suffered by comparison. Whenever Chapman got to first base the stands would boil with anticipatory excitement.

McCarthy's strategy in stressing the stolen base provoked a volume of debate amone rival baseball strategists. In a game where power was still the dominant factor why try to steal bases? McCarthy’s answer to that auestlon was that a runner could always score quicker from second than first. “And besides.” argued McCarthy. “If you have a man who is fast enough to steal a base wouldn’t it be silly to ignore his speed in your attack?” A month or so ago I asked McCarthy how many victories he thought he could trace to Chapman's speed. "Ten at least,” he answered, "gnd what is equally important I can t trace any of our defeats to him.” tt tt tt ON the whole there were no staggering surprises in either league. The White Sox and the Tigers were disappointments in the American League. But with better luck in the matter of injuries they probably would have fulfilled early season expectations. Donie Bush has not been as successful in Chicago as he was in Pittsburgh and before that in Washington. I don’t look for him to be back. Old Man Comiskey is a hard man to work for and Bush is a strongminejed gentleman himself. There is not great bond of admiration between the two. Bush went to Chicago on the recommendation of the late E. 8. Barnard. His personal preference was Detroit. When Barnard died. Bush's enthusiasm waned sharply. If Wilbert Robinson's contract is not renewed I'd like to see him over in Flatbush. Nobodv can tell me that Bush is not a real good manager, a hard, two fisted, fighting manager too. and maybe that's lust what the doctor ought to prescribe for those flatbushers. If the Cards’ viclorv was a surprise in any wav it was in the clear cut superiority, the team speedily established over the rest of the field. The dope had it that anv one of five teams—the Cards. Giants. Cubs. Dodgers and Pirates, bad a chance. But the dope failed to state what they had a chance for. As it turned out. only the Cards had a chance for the top hole, and in baseball, so tar as the customers are concerned, vou might as well be eighth as second. The strange Hornsbv had trouble in Chicago. This was not wholly unexpected. Hornsbv appears to have a knack for surrounding himself with trouble. In his new assignment, followng the popular McCarthy. it was inevitable that he would have trouble of some sort. The complete collapse of Hack Wilson, king of the home runners a vear ago. didn't help Hornsby's predicament any. Obviously he had nothing to do with Wilson's slump from a home run hitter to a flv ball flop but the customers seemed to think the blame belonged on Hornsby's shoulders and that its where they put it. In a season marked by brilliant exploits and individual successes the failure of WUsen stood out like a Cernera bunion It Lettv Grove was the great individual hero of the vear. Wilson was the five-star final goat—the prize bust of 1931.

CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Philadelphia's Athletics, the St. Louis Cardinals and some millions of baseball fans today flew into the calm which precedes the storm.

Rain Costs Terry N. L. Bat Crown When Tilt Is Called

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The 1931 baseball season came to end Sunday with seven games in the, National League and five in the American. Feature of the final day of play was provided by Chick Hafey, St. Louis outfielder, who managed to nose out Bill Terry of the New York Giants, for the batting championship of the National League by getting two hits out of eight times at bat. The unofficial averages give Hafey a mark of .3188 against .3486 for Terry. Rain cost Terry the championship. After getting one hit in the first inning of the second game against Brooklyn he withdrew from the game, knowing he was ahead of Hafey. The hit went for naught, however, when the contest was called at the end of the third inning because of darkness. The final standings in the National League show that only two clubs, New York and Philadelphia, finished better than in 1930. The Giants moved from third to second place, while the Phillies, eighth in 1930, ended this year’s play in sixth position. In the American League, New York’s second-place Yankees and Boston made progress. The Yankees

Meantime the 30,000 to 40,000 fans who will see each game and the millions who will watch newspaper scoreboards and listen co radio reports were having the time of their lives “doping” the series. All hands seem to be agreed that it will be a more closely fought series than the one of 1930. when the Athletics won four of the six games played apparently without working up a good sweat. However, the experts, amateurs and professional, are wondering how successful the Cards will be against the pitching of Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, aces of the A’s staff. The schedule, incidentally, favors the Athletics. Manager Connie Mack could start Grove on Thursday, Earnshaw on Friday, and have each fresh for new labors when the series play is resumed in Philadelphia one week from today. Several factors favor the Cardinals supporters’ hopes of victory. The law of averages is all against the Athletics—against Grove’s chances of adding to his year’s record of thirty-one victories. It’s a feat as yet not accomplished. St. Louis should improve on last year’s batting, which showed only fifty-six total base hits in 190 turns at bat as against sixty-seven bases in 178 at bat made by the A’s. So the conversations go, but they don’t mean much, for anything can happen in a ball game, and in series play it usually does.

were third in 1930, while Boston, eighth in 1930, advanced two pegs. Sunday's play in the American was featured by New York’s 13-to-l defeat of the world champion Philadelphia Athletics. The Yankees slammed Grove, Earnshaw and Walbergr, the A’s star hurlers, for twenty hits. Grove, who pitched the first three innings, was charged with the defeat, his fourth of th? year, against thirty-one wins. Lou Gehrig hit his forty-sixth home run of the season to end the season in a tie with Babe Ruth. St. Louis took a double-header from the Chicago White Sox 10 to 8, and 2 to 1. to beat out Boston for fifth place. In the other American games, Cleveland defeated Detroit 8 to 5. and Boston defeated Washington 4 to 2. St. Louis, National League champions, ended the season in championship style by taking both games in a double-header from the Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 2 and 5 to 3. Paul Derringer hung up his eighteenth victory in the first game. Brooklyn’s Robins took the first game of a scheduled double-header from the New York Giants 12 to 3, Lefty Clark pitching. The second game was called on account of darkness. • Philadelphia and Boston divided a double bill. Boston winning the nightcao 12 to 2 after losing the opener, 5 to Chicago took both games from Pittsburgh. 3 to 1 and 8 to 4.

Down the Alleys BY LEFTY LEE

The Falls City Lager team seems to be a winning combination in the Indianapolis and Fountain Square Recreation loops, having yet to lose a game on the South Side drives, and leading the fast Indianapolis loop with a record of eleven wins against one defeat. This team lines up with E. Striebeck. F. Hueber, C. Mack. F. Schleimer. C. C. Gray and E. Schott. After Hardin’s Coal 432 series last Wednesday night, Elmer Burt, the captain of the Gregory-Appel team, was in a mood to ask waivers on his “spark plug.” Hardin redeemend himself the following night, however, with a big 600 count. Harry Woodard was just another bowler last week and had a lot of explaining to do to convince Dude West and McNew that he was not too old to get the wood. Inflated averages are sure to appear' early in the season, but one bowler who has shown real promise for several years and has finally arrived is Fred Shaw of the Uptown alleys. Shaw leads the Community League with a mark of 227 for nine games, leads the Intermedite with 209. and is sixth in the Uptown League, having an average of 194. These totals give him an average of 210 in all leagues for twentyseven games, a mark anv bowler can envy. The veteran Earl Goodhue leads the Uptown League to date with an average of 203. Walter Heckman has taken a fancy to the new Pritchett alleys and is boosting a mark of 202, which is some timber for a youngster. Jess Pritchett has his Coca-Cola quintet v.’orking in fine stvle now. and they have moved into second place in the Indianapolis League, one game above the Wheeler Lunch boys, who are third. Incidently the Wheeler team handed Pritchett's club their only setbacks, taking them for two on the opening night. The Van Camp Packing League, always a late starter owing to their busy season, will roll their first series on the Pritchett alleys next Wenesday night. This loop is restricted to employs only and a friendly rivalry gives added ''pep” to their sessions. Kromer. the speedy lead-off of the Ft. Harrison team, leads the Washington League with an average of 211 for nine games, passing Cross, a team mate, during Friday night's play. Another youngster who is going great I guns is Tommy Voilmer of the St. Philip No. 1 League. Volmer is boasting a mark of 216 for his nine Hansen placed the universal League at the top for the second consecutive week i when he won the free air ride prize of the ; Hoosier airport with a score of 715. His games were 256, 214 and 245. The Jess Pritchett girls took all honors during the week's play, rolling scores of 2.600 and 2,556 for first and second high. Mrs. Eddie Meyer, the lea .-off for this team, rolled the first 600 total of the season to make the 2,600 score possible, having 604 The Orohev team of the St. Philip Ladies League won three games from Moran, as Drohan took the rubber from Welch.

With another major league season down in the books, A1 Simmons had added another record to his list. He is the first slugger to win two consecutive batting championships since 1919. He took down the 1931 crown by running ahead of Babe Ruth. Chick Hafey is the unofficial National League champion, winning over Bill Terry, 1930 title holder, but a fraction of a point.

Indians Close Season in Third Place; Play Benefit Tilt Today

Tribesmen Win Two, Lose One and Tie One Over WeekEnd in Pair of Twin Bills With Columbus; Meet City Champs for Charity. BY EDDIE ASH Tribe pastimers concluded the league season over the week-end with two victories, one defeat and one tie and today the men of McCann will engage in a benefit game, playing the Indianapolis Power & Light nine, city amateur champions. Proceeds will go to aid the unemployed. The charity contest will get under way at 2:30 and the pass gate will be padlocked. The Power team is recognized as a sturdy outfit and in the national amateur title tourney held in Cleveland recently the locals reached the semi-finals, being eliminated by the powerful Cleveland champions.

The Indians clinched third place in the A. A. by defeating Columbus in both ends of the Saturday’s dou-ble-header, 2 to 1 (ten innings) and 5 too 2 (eight innings). In the first half of the Sabbath twin bill, the Red Birds finished in front, 2 to 1, and the closing tilt ended with the score knotted 2 and 2, darkness halting action. Bill Morrell pitched the Sunday opener for the Hoosiers and Kenneth Ash operated on the Columbus mound. The victory in the Sunday first game gave Columbus fourth place ar.d both clubs used makeshift lineups in the second fracas because there was nothing at stake.

Hard Luck NEW YORK, Sept. 28— Speaking of hard luck, consider the case of Lou Gehrig, the socking first sacker of the Yankees. Lou crashed one of his longest home runs in years Sunday to tie Babe Ruth, his teammate, for major league homer honors at 46. Gehrig actually knocked 47 four-baggers this season, however. Back in May, he slapped one into the stands but received no credit. Lyn Lary, Yan>;ee shortstop, who was on base at the time, thought the ball had been caught and ran to the dugout instead of the plate. If Lary had not chosen that particular time to do a bit of day dreaming, Gehrig have won the championship all by his lonesome.
