Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 29. We fought that famous seventh round over again Monday—Mr. Gene Tunney and myself. But this time we fought it over a mile hish in the atr—more or less—in the grill of the Cloud Club, a distinctive metropolitan bird s nest located on the 567th floor, or so it seems, of Mrs. Chrysler'* ornate aolre, Down below the bi* town, drenched in a bright Sentember sun. reached o(it to the sea and the two rivers with giant arms sheathed In a fantastic nanoolv of stone and iron with a Drecise criss-crossing of thin grav stitches that pedestrians now as the citv streets. Tt was a swell sight and iust a bit different. I imagine than Emporia. Kas Mr Tunnev ha* lust finished a ten-dav task of dictating 75,000 words, long, short and medium, which are in the process of being woven into his autobiography already *ftld to one of the better magazines for the highest price ever paid for this tvnc ol literature. "About that seventh round.” 1 asked. “How do vou handle that in vour story?” ”1 tell the facts.” answered Mr. Tunnev. dressed in modest brown, wearing a soft shirt and looking at vou with those stern. vet placid eves, that helped to make him an unusual flighting picture in the ring. ”1 claim it isn't important how long 1 was down. I was up at nine. That was when I was sunnosed to be up.” Mr. Tunnev points out that the late Leo P Flvnn. then acting as Demosev’s manager. was responsible for the rule which compelled either fighter to go to a neutral corner following a knockdown. "It was Dempsey's stuplditv—or .iverrealousness. if vou will—that provoked the protracted count, and nothing else Had he gone immediately to a neutral corner I would have had to be ud at the end of ten actual seconds or else be counted out.” But Mr. Tunnev continues to maintain that he could have gotten up at nhv time after the count of five and that in staving down he was merely exercising sound judgment and at the same time attempting to reassemble his wits and formulate a plan of strategy. •Alt 7HILE I sat there on the W floor—and I will admit it was not an altogether pleasant sensation—l decided that when I got up I would make Dempsey follow pie, rather than go to him. "On the face of things this was an übeious decision. I mean I had been hit and knocked down. But there was more to the decision than lust caution. Earlier in the fight I had noted that when I backed awav Dempsev had difficulty in following me. that he was slow and that he stumbled In his gait. “I knew mv legs were better than his. I knew, too that it was futile for me to get up and immediately start punching. I fought Dempsev twenty rounds and I haven't vet hit him a solid punch on the chin. Nobody ever hit him a solid punch on the chin. It's lmposible. His chin is always burled in his chest, it's' an instinctive mannerism with him. "I also realized that if I got up and fell Into a clinch I probably would be knocked out. Your friend Dempsey this is Mr. Tunnev’s slv way of reminding me from time to time that I didn’t concede him a Wall Street broker's chance against the old man mauler) had a gay wav of banging vou back of the head with a rabbit punch. I wanted none of that.” At this point the waiter rolled a cart over to our table, heaped with tempting pastries. Mr Tunnev took a look at his waist line, the appearance of which evidently was reassuring. "Give me that.” he said, pointing to a concoction that looked like a bavarian wedding cake. "I can afford to dissipate a little” he apologized. "Mv weight is still lust about what it was When I was fighting.” "I have been criticised for getting up and backing awav from Demnsev. Some of vou writers refer to it. a bit cynically. 1 suspect, as mv aggressive retreat. But as I have attempted to point out tt was sound ring generalship. I knew I couldn’t hit Dempsev on the chin. I knew if I went into a clinch I would be banged back of the head And what was much more important I knew that if he tried to follow me he W'ould flounder, and that when I felt it expedient to start swinging again it would be easy to hit him. As vou know that's exactly how It workedf out.” The fact is that before the round erded Mr, Tunnev hit Dempsev—by Dempsey's own admission—the most.punishing punch ho ever received, a right hander under the heart, which landed a few seconds before the bell “Dempsev couldn’t talk when h" went back to his corner, and his handlers devoted almost the full minute’s rest to massaging awav the congestion. This one punch probably was the reason Dempsev refused to fleh£ Mr Tunnev a third time. Dempsev frankly told Tex Rickard that he wanted no more of him. and when tm told the promoter that, there was a $500,000 guarantee dangling in front of his eves, all his. win. lose or draw.

Rookie Phenom Slated to Hurl First Tilt Against A’s; Philly Doubts Haines' Injury

Hallahan or Johnson May Start Second; Grimes Held in Reserve. BY EDWARD W. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.—A lanky Kentuckian, Paul Derringer, is expected to go to the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday in the opening game with the Philadelphia Athletics for the world’s championship.. Derringer, with eighteen victories and eight defeats in his first year of major league ball, appeared Manager Charles (Gabby) Street’s choice today, with either Bill Hallahan, only Cardinal southpaw, or, Sylvester Johnson, slated to pitch the second game of the series. Street, with two of his regulars nursing injuries, had other things to think about before definitely deciding on Derringer, but admitted he favored the former Rochester ace. Burleigh Grimes is likely to be held in reserve. The spitball veteran has been off form lately. With Jesse Kaines definitely off the list of pitching possibilities due to a slow healing shoulder muscle, and Sparky Adams, third baseman, and Pepper Martin, center fielder, with leg injuries, the Cardinals face the series in far from peak condition. Betting .odds on the Athletics to win dropped as a result. A’s Rule Coin Favorites The American League champions were quoted at one to two to take their third successive world's championship. A fortnight ago they were 7 to 10 favorites. The Cards were quoted at 3 to 2 on the series, and as high as 4 to 1 to take two games straight. Last week they were quoted at even money for the series. Despite the odds, there was a perky feeling in the Cardinal camp. It centered around twq beliefs. One war, that Lefty Grove, having won thirty-one games this year, is due for a few reverses. The other that Jim Bottomley, dismal batting failure of last year’s series, has regained his eye. Bill Walker Helps Ae Cards, after a “victory parade” through downtown streets today, planned to continue their hitting practice against left-hand pitching. With Lefty Grove in mind, they imported Bill Walker, New York Giants southpaw, to help out. Walker has been effective against the Red Birds this year. His delivery is similar to Grove’s. The American League baseball is being used in practice, with no appreciable difference in the distance hit, Manager Street said. His pitchers reported It a little more difficult to control. The National League sphere has heavier seams.

Hayes Drives Indiana Eleven for Irish Tilt

Bp Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 29. “Pleased, but not satisfied.” That was the verdict of coach E. C. Hayes, Indiana’s new grid mentor, following the Crimson debut under his new system last Saturday, when the Hoosiers stopped the nine-teen-game winning strike of Ohio university, 7 to 6. Hayes lost no time in getting down to work for one of the Crimson’s most important tests—an allIndiana affair with Notre Dame “here next Saturday. Realizing his squad needs lots of polishing, Hayes ordei-ed his varsity out Monday for dummy scrimmage against Wally Marks’ frosh squad using Notre Dame formations. A longer and harder workout was carded today. The old grid axiom, “a team is only as strong as its reserve,” finds Indiana well fortified, with a squad of eighty men. Coach Hayes has two complete back fields that are of about equal strength. He has a near-veteran quartet in Opasik and Baer, half backs; Vic Dauer, quarter, and Jones, full back, Jones being the only sophomore. Edmonds.

Grimes Will Be Key Man of Cards’ Slab Staff, Babe Says

BY BABE RUTH. .NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—They tell me Burleigh Grimes has not been as effective this season as he was a year ago, and the advance dope on the world series is that the veteran spitballer will not play so big a part in the coming games as he did a year ago. I have read that Hallahan and Derringer are counted on more than Burleigh to overthrow the A’s. Until Gabby Street proves otherwise, I will stick to the belief that Grimes again will be the key pitcher in the Cardinals’ staff. By that I mean the pitching choices for the games will depend chiefly on the number of times he will be able to take his turn on the mound. I expect to see him out there as Grove’s opponent in- the opening game, and I expect to see Street send him back at the first opportunity. Grimes is a money pitcher of the highest order and the best bet, I believe, the Cardinals have for starting the series. He pitched igreat ball in both his starts last year, holding the Mackmen to five hits in each game. The A’s never could organize anything like a batting rally against him. In the first game they got no more than one run in any inning against Grimes, and in his other games he shut the A’s out until the ninth, when Jimmy Foxx slapped him for a homer, which beat him. Home runs accounted for two runs in each of Grimes’ games. Grimes was none too effective in some of his recent appearances, but that means nothing. Just before the 1930 series, Earnshav; was having all sorts of troubles in his games, and then he turned out to be the hero of the series. As long as a pitcher is physically fit, it makes no difference what happened the last time he pitched. I understand that Grimes’ arm is all right and that is all that is necessary. He is a smart pitcher and not likely to be flustered by an error or two. I understand that Jess Haines will not be able to pitch during the series because af an injured arm. and this is regrettable. I always like to see teams at full strength when they go into a world series, though it usually happens that one team or the other has somebody on the crippled list. Connie Mack's team has been badly crippled during the regular season, but I understand all his regulars will be ready when the series starts. The absence of Haines may be costly to the Cardinals, I was surprised last year that Jess was not used until the fourth game, and he certainly outsmarted the heavy hitters of the American League in his 3-1 victory over Lefty Grove. You may remember that the A’s couldn’t get anything better than a single off old Jess and they got only four of these. It was their lightest hitting game Qf the series. In a world series wise old pitchers of the Haines and Grimes type are often worth a lot more than younger pitchers who may have more stuff. At one time I was inclined to believe that Paul Derringer, now finishing his first season with the Cardinals, would not get much chance in this series. I based my belief on the fact that newcomers seldom are called upon in their first year, because inexperience may be fatal. Wilcv } V ore .A t _ arted a same for the Yankees m the 1927 series with the Pirates, but he is the only first year pitcher to get such a call in many years. So I figured that Derringer was out of Street’s consideration in the comine series. Recent information from reliable sources has caused me to change my mind. Derringer will surely start, they tell me. Grimes as a starter, with Hallahan for the second game *,nd Derringer for the third. At least that is my guess. With the two idle days -ylter the second eame Grimes then would have iOur compy-;- cay.' of rtit after opening day. and should be ready again to pitch

full back; Saluski and Sawicki, half backs, and Ray Dauer, quarter, are in the other group, with Sawicki and Dauer as the recruits. Edmonds and Jones shared the kicking Saturday and it was the best seen here since the days of Pooch Harrell. Four outstanding wingmen fortify the line. Hansen and Lyons were most impressive Saturday, but Dick and J. Sawicki also turned in fine performances. Zeller, guard, is a cinch at one berth, while McDonald and Nylec, a sophomore, are other contenders. Anglemyer, giant rookie, and Rhem are battling for a tackle berth, while Ambrose Rascher looks good for the other side. At center, Beeson and Spannuth are waging a close tussle. While Notre Dame’s inspired team of 1931, with a big group of veterans, rules the favorite, I. U. hopes for their first win over the Irish in many seasons are high. A near sellout is forecast by officials, with many here to watch the Irish in their first game in twenty years without Rockne either playing or coaching.

the fourth game of the series. With Haines out. I look for these three pitchers to do all the starting. This leaves Johnson. Rhem, Lindsey and Stout for relief work. Rhem started the second same last vear but I do not expect to see Manager Street start him this vear. If he has to start anybody besides Grimes. Hallahan and Derringer. I believe Sylvester Johnson will be his choice. But with the schedule as it is three Pitchers will probably do most of the work for the Cardinals.

Athletics to Leave Tonight for St. Louis; Open Series Thursday. BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Snorts Editor PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29. —This was get-away day for Philadelphia Athletics, who were to leave soon after sunset for St. Louis where Connie Mack will attempt to win his third consecutive world series championship, a feat as yet unrecorded. The Athletics engaged in their last pre-series game when they were shut out Monday by their home town rivals, the Phillies, in an unemployment benefit game. Incidentally, the defeat at the hands of the Phillies was the second in succession sustained by the Mackmen. On Sunday the New York Yankees closed the American League season with a 13-1 victory over the A’s. Klein Clouts Two Chuck Klein, slugging outfielder of the Phillies, banged out two homers and batted in all the runs for the victors in Monday’s tilt. Waite Hoyt and Leßoy Mahaffey, the Athletics’ hurlers. were hammered for ten hits. Phil Collins held the A’s to one hit in four innings and Clise Dudley gave them two in the last five frames. All Athletic regulars played part of the game. A triple play in the fifth inning stopped the only threat of the A’s. With Miller on second and Dykes on first, Williams lined to Whitney, whose throw to O’Rourke doubled Miller, while the relay throw erased Dykes before he could return to first. Most of the street-corner experts have Robert Moses Grove assigned to the opening pitching assignment. Others recall how Mack astounded all concerned when he sent Howard Ehmke to pitch the first game of the 1929 series with Chicago, and believe he will nominate Waite Hoyt, cast-off of the Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, for the opener. Expect Derringer The fans here are fairly well agreed that Paul Derringer, husky right-hander, will be the first St. Louis pitcher to face the bats of Foxx, Simmons and the others. Many local enthusiasts, however, “know” that Jess Haines, also a right-hander, will draw the assignment. There’s a story going the rounds here, that reports of Haines’ injury and probable unavailability are what are known as the honusbolognus.
