Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK. Oct.. 12.—Natural- — iy I am very embarrassed. I picked the Cards to win the world series, and they cross me up by As a result, It is certain that I have alienated myself from a sizable number of customers. a a a for veart. It ha* bran the custom ot then* loval followers to wait until Williams nicked a winner and then eo the othei *'**• la 'he better conversational circles. 1 had feme to be known as the Jim Corhett of the snorts writers. Whenever I v rote and oredlctcd that blark was luck it was nraclleallv a sure thing that it "as white. But now all 1* changed. I have flnallv nicked a winner. Inevitably, this must create considerable confusion and bewilderment. I fear that "no longer will 1 be looked unon as a person who Is invaflablv wrong and as such, to the reverse, lefthanded bettors, an unfailing source ot dependable Intelligence. In the circumstance* an anologv is necessary. All that I can sav Is that I didn't expect them to win either. • a a a JUST the same, I am rather glad that Gabby Sweet won hioelf a championship. I think it means more to Street than a victory would have meant to Connie Mack. To be sure. If Connie had won he would have set a glorious record. He had a chance to do something no other manager had ever done before, namely, win three world championships in a row. I entertain a vast admiration for Connie and what he stands for in baseball, but 1 think It Is lust as well that he tailed to achieve this distinction. The highest : mountain peak ceases to be interesting when even one adventurer reaches the lop Not all the romance has gone from bass- , ball and It seems fitting to me that two or three records should continue In the books defying the i.iaglc of anv manager, or athlete.

INCIDENTALLY, the series was not exactly a triumph for master minding. In his operations. Street is as different from Connie as Fifth rvenue and Main street. Untlrelv without guile or stately Illusions. Street accepted cverv game as an ordinary contest. He refused to be moved by the added glamour and glory that is attached to the Dlavof To him the world series, in effect, w s lust another set of games. He namd .iis pitchers in advance. There was no mystery about his starting line up When he nominated voune Paul Derringer to start the scries he shocked the gray beards in the press box. John J. McGraw of the Giants, for one. refused to believe Street would give such an important assignment to ft first-venr pitcher. He ts merely kidding you reporters.'’ commented McGraw. ••Why shouldn’t I start Derringer"? asked Street In rebuttal. He has been my best pitcher all year." In this instance. Street was wrong. He followed the book a little too closely. He failed to take into consideration the human eouation. What was Just another ball game to Street was something ouiet different to an imaginative youngster, terribly intent upon making good. It was his one strategical mistake 'n the series. Wild Bill Hallahan mould have been the starting pitcher. This would have set the stage in such a wav that Wild BUI could, it needed, pitch three lull games. As matters turned out it was not necessary But if the A’s had won. Street\s handling of his pitchers would have come in for blistering criticism.

VERY little ran true 1o form in the series, except that the law ol averages is a tough thing to beat. The L. of A. said in advance that no team can win three world championships in succession. It also said that after four straight defeats the odds favored a National League victory. In both cases the L of A. stood up. Sneeze Box Martin was the individual Jiero of the series. Before the plaVoffa started he was lust another ball player, nobody counted on him for a great deal. Jn the done he rated far below Bottomlev. jiafev and Frisch. But in the actual playing of the games hr was the one man vho put the Cards in the fight and kept 11 That 11 he slumped off in the last two games was to be expected No doubt he vs* playing over his head. Another thing, he was cast in the role of a superman. 1 don't know what a superman in baseball Is lunless it's Babe Rutht and I can imagine that it Is no easy task to live up to such a distinction. Astonished at his new and sudden importance the Pepper Pot eprobablv started too bear down and in doing so lost much of his naturalness, which is his oh lei <harm, and in the series, the answer to his effectiveness. u u a C-'tONNIE was beaten by a bush >i league manager—a man who three years ago was trying to get a job as coach or scout with the Brooklyn team. Between the two there is no comparison. Connie has probably forgot more baseball than Street ever will know. But. In * short series, baseball wisdom doesn't amount to much. Connie shifted jits outfielders on everv pitch, made daring chances in his line-ups. was mysterious r bout his starting pitchers—almost childi.hlv so—he plaved everv trick In his hand

to the utmost. And vet in the end he was beaten bv • man who before he became manager ot the Cards was distinguished largely bv the net that he had once caught a bail thrown irom the too of the Washington monu- j inent. The explanation is baseball luck. ; Street had It in the Fenner Pot —a .300 hit- , t-r gone wild—and Connie had it in 'Olh- j ln Next to the Fenner Pot. burly Burleigh C.rimes was the standout Jteure of the ; • eries He was another Cardinal who was ; imt counted on heavily in the advance prophecies. The burly Burleigh had had r bad vear. In the press box the boys • aid he was about washed tin. that he vould be luckv to stagger through a game, j You know what happened. At the finish he was the pitching star of the series. ” Something should be said at this point about the gentleman's changed mcntai attitude A vear aeo he was an archego at -and a much better pitcher physically.

Notre Dame-Northwestern Post Season Cliarity Tilt Urged After Scoreless Tie Battle

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Ynlted Pre Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 12.—The aftermath of the Notre DameNorthwestern scoreless tie in the rain and mud at Soldier field has started agitation for a return game for charity at the close of the season. Atrocious weather conditions in Chicago's big lake front stadium Saturday did not prevent Notre Dame and Northwestern from demonstrating that they again have powerful football teams.

FONSECA NAMED PILOT OF CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Signs for Two Years

‘Handy Man* Obtained From Cleveland Indians Succeeds Donie Bush. By I nilrd I'rrn* CHICAGO. Oct. 12.—Lewis Fonseca, outfielder-infielder of the Chicago White Sox of the American League, today was named manager to succeed Donie Bush, who re--1 signed last week. Fonseca signed a two-year contract, similar to that held by Bush, who explained that the reason he did not seek to renew his contract was that he felt he “didn't fit in.” The Cleveland Indians sent Fonseca to the White Sox during the last season in a trade for Willie Kamm, third baseman. Fonseca was the leading American League batter in 1929. In 1930. Fonseca was hampered by injuries and lost his first base berth with Cleveland to Eddie Morgan. He was making a comeback with the Indians this spring when traded to the White Sox for Kamm. Lu Blue, obtained from St. Louis Browns by the Sox. was playing first base for the Hose, so Fonseca was tried at second base and later switched to the outfield, where he batted at a .312 clip until the end of the season. Fonseca is 32 years old. Seals Capture Coast Laurels H>/ Time* Sprrial LOS ANGELES. Oct. 12.

They have included among those victories national championships and nation stirring incidents, but even with the inspiration to win for their departed leader, the late Knute Rockne, the boys from South Bend were unable to score against Northwestern Saturday. To some they were lucky to emerge with a scoreless tie on muddy Soldiers’ field before 75.000 fans. On the other hand. Northwestern doubtless was lucky, also. Up at. Lafayette before a crowd

Yale, Princeton Disappoint Eastern Football Followers

U,t TH it i'll Press NEW YORK. Oct. 12.—After two weeks of campaigning, Yale and Princeton are already out of consideration as far as national or sectional honors are concerned —if they ever had any aspirations in that direction. Both teams inaugurated new systems of attack this fall, and both got through the opening Saturday in unimpressive fashion against minor opponents. Each in turn crumbled whe’n faced with sterner opposition—Princeton losing to Brown. 19 to 7, while Yale was being buried under a 26-to-7 score by Georgia.

Both teams showed enough strength to make it unlikely that defeat will overtake either of them this season, barring, of course, injuries to some of their stars.

Yale Invades Chicago U. for Tilt

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Three Big Ten Conference games are scheduled this week. Purdue renews grid rivalry with Wisconsin at Madison. In six games, the rivals have shared honors, each winning two and two ending in deadlocks. Indiana, after a week of idleness, opens the Conference campaign against lowa at lowa City. Ohio also starts Big Ten action, playing Michigan at Ann Arbor in another rivalry affair. Two intersectional games bring Yale west for the first time in history to meet coach A. A. Stagg’s fortieth anni-

The Big Ten already has given each team permission to play one post-season game for charity, but stipulated that it must be against another conference team and not later than November 28, Notre Dame plays Army November 28. so the Irish would not be available for a post-season game until December 5.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jack Takes on Carnera Sharkey Meets Italian Giant Tonight; Ugly Rumors Cut Interest. By United Presi NEW YORK. Oct. 12.— Weather permitting and principals willing. Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, the well-known "in-and-outer” of the prize ring, will battle the giant Primo Carnera of Italy at Ebbets field, Brooklyn,’ tonight, in a scrap scheduled over the fifteen-round route. Described by press agents as a crucial struggle and one likely to develop into a redhot thriller, the scrap, in reality is unimportant. Sharkey “Ran Out” When the match was first made for Chicago a year ago it was believed certain to attract a $600,000 gate. Sharkey, a 6-to-l favorite, "ran out” at that time. The unsavory rumors occasioned by Sharkey's refusal to go through with the contest on Oct. 1, even though X-rays of his alleged little finger injury revealed nothing more important than an imperfect job of manicuring, and Jack’s miserable showing against Mickey Walker have ruined the contest as a gate attraction. Promoter Johnson claims to have a $50,000 advance sale and talks of a $200,000 over-the-counter rush today. If the fight grosses more ; than SIOO,OOO even Johnson will be surprised. Very Little Betting Sharkey is quoted as a 6 to 5 favorite to win, with less wagering on | the result than in any heavyweight i bout of recent years. Sharkey adherents and form players are loath to risk actual money in view of the Bostonian’s previous erratic performances, the suspicion that Sharkey is “all washed up” and ready to retire, and because of the conviction that the clique of Broadway mobsmen interested in Carnera would not risk their “million-dollar prospect” against Sharkey withoiit positive assurance of victory.

BY EDDIE ASH Times Sotrl* Editor The official baseball family of the Indianapolis Indians was. minus a veteran member today with the announcement of the resignation of William E. Clauer as club secretary. 'Clauer, active in politics and a former city councilman, joined the Tribe as secretary under the regime of the late William C. Smith nearly thirteen years ago. He has been a prominent figure in local and American Association baseball over the long stretch of seasons. Attendance at the annual winter baseball powwows and journeys with the Indians to the southland each spring combined to give Clauer a wide acquaintance in the national pastime. Under the William C. Smith ownership of the Indians Secretary Clauer was more active than during the past season owing to the fact Smith left most of the executive duties to him. President Perry was out of the city today, but it is presumed he asked for Clauer’s resignation to reduce operating expenses. It is hardly likely the position will be filled, friends close to Perry intimated. The resignation of Olauer was at the request of Owner Norman A. Perry, according to the former secretary, and followed other changes in the Tribe family during the 1931 season, including a managerial change, Emmett McCann succeeding Johnny Corriden, and Zeke Laubis succeeding Jim Pierce as club trainer. McCann has not signed a contract for 1932. but is expected to visit Indianapolis this week for a conference with President Perry, according to Jack Hendricks, assistant to Perry and team scout.

BY BABE RUTH ' f T, J Loins, Oct. 12.—The world series of 1931 will be remembered ch eflv for two things. One was the overthrow of one of the greatest. t . heßame ever has known. The other was the personal Dcrformance of Pepper Martin, Cardinals’ center fielder The Athletic r s c "yr se ' „ Th s’ were <*"** * • cSEu. we J[ de f rved ’ Evcn when the *r home fans became weak hearten Llkfm^ a . nd ,H S P ' aYer J kCpt on ’fighting and won the £s£ ' a lrn nf ThT *°. rld . ser,es thls one caused many surprises and scrambled a lot of the early dope.

And the same advance dope made only passing mention of the fact that a fellow named Martin was to play center field for the Cardinals. In fact, there was a story that an injury he sustained late in September might keep him out of it. But nobody seemed to regard that condition seriously. It was pointed out that Manager Street had plenty of extra outfielders if Martin could not play. Pepper Winning Factor I think it would have been quite a difference if Pepper had missed the series. I am sure the A's would now be world champions if Martin had been unable to play. He not only did great things himself, but his work inspired other members of the Cardinals to do their work well. It was an odd series in many ways. The Athletics' pitchers showed marvelous control while losing the series, and the Cardinals brought out only one hitter of .300 or better. The As led the Cardinals in runs, but not in victories. Dib Williams of the A’s was one of the four regulars who hit above .300, being excelled only by Martin and Foxx and being tied with A1 Simmons. But he led all the other players in strikeouts and many of these third strikes came at important times. Earnshaw’s Luck Bad Then there was George Earnshaw, who pitched well enough to win three games ordinarily and still he lost two. He was the hard luck player of the series. In twenty-four innings, big George allowed only twelve hits, or as many as the Cards got off Grove when Lefty beat them the first time. Earnshaw had remarkable control and he struck out more men than any other pitcher in the series. He allowed only six runs while pitching one complete game, eight innings of another and seven innings of the final game. But he could win only once. I regard Earnshaw and Simmons as the outstanding stars of the A’s in the series. I rate Simmons as sharing top honors because of the number of runs he batted in. The big outfielder was credited officially with driving eight runs across and the A’s scored only twenty-two.

Doubt at Finish Another oddity of the series was that Burleigh Grimes was regarded as a question mark when it started. He wasn’t selected until the third game and there was a story that Manager Street debated for some time whether to send Grimes or Johnson to the mound in the third game, but Burleigh came through twice with the kind of pitching that will not be denied. Grimes and Hallahan rate next to Martin as Cardinal heroes. It was a great series, with the result in doubt after two were out in the ninth inning of the final game. And the Cardinals fully merited their success.

PLAY SCORELESS TIE Midways and St. Pats. Local Rivals, Stage Heated Rattle. In a stubbornly fought game. Midways battled to a scoreless tie with St. Pats at Pennsy park Sunday. 'Eikorne of Midways tossed forward passes to Kimble and Lynch for gains of five to fifteen yards several times during the game, but Midway backs could gain but little ground on line plays and end runs. NEW COACH REPORTED By United Pre.ss * PALO ALTO. Cal.. Oct. 12.—Defeated by Stanford in an intersectional game here Saturday, the Minnesota university Gophers were homeward bound today preceded by reports that anew football coach will lead them next season. Before the team left here after Stanford’s 13-to-0 victory, it became known that Bernie Bierman, former Minnesota half back and now coach at Tulane, probably will replace H. O. (Fritz) Crisler as gridiron mentor. Crisler will remain as athletic director of the Gophers.
