Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

Philadelphia, pa., s-pt. 22. One of the reasons why the boys are making the Yanks emphatic favorites to win the world series, starting next week, is that there is only one left-handed pitcher on the Cubs staff —and even he is a third stringer. There is a theory, quite generally accepted by the savants of the sport, that you must have left-handed pitching to combat left-handed batting strength. It’s probably more of a superstition, like corn likker being good for snake bites,, than anything else, but it commands respect in the dugout and the press box. Well, there are plenty of lefthand hitters on the Yanks. Including such fellows as Ruth, Oehrig. Combs, Sewell and the like. How, you are asked, does Chicago expect to stop these fellows with a third string lefthander, by name Jakey May? Personally, I wouldn't know. But over here Wednesday 1 saw a young righthander fresh up from the minors stop them pretty effectively, so it may be that the Cubs really haven't anything to worry about. Possibly their righthanders will prove competent enough for the fob Studying Sugar Cain of Baltimore from the stands, you wouldn't call him a great pitcher, but he was great enough to limit the new American League champions to seven hits and four runs, while the Athletics were getting ten hits and eight runsfor him off the large Red Ruffing. No matter how able Cain is, you would hesitate to say he ranked ahead of pitchers like Warucke, Bush, Root and Malone, the four right-hand standbys of the Cubs. And yet he was able enough to win. Now Isn't it reasdnable to assume that if they can be beaten by one 'right hander they can be beaten by another—or even a flock of them? a'o a . WHAT’S that? A world series game is different? Grant you that. But the Yanks weren't exactly loafing out there Wednesday. On the contrary, they were trying earnestly to win, . For one thing, it was their first formal dress rehearsal with full cast. All regulars were in the lineup. Babe Ruth returned to competition for the firs! time since a gaudy seizure of the cramps laid him low in Detroit some days ago. Moreover, Ruffing, the pitcher, who is scheduled to face the Cubs in the opener, was in the box. In short, you were looking at the Yanks, man for man, as they probably will appear when the title curtain rises. No little interest was attached to the return of Ruth. Was he the same old Bam? Or had those cramps cramped his style in a serious wav? You couldn't tell Judging him oft that one ball game. The only hit he got was a scratch single through second base. The first two times up he dldn t get the ball beyond the infield. The third time up he filed to right. In batting practice he put three over the fence In the seventh inning, Jimmy Foxx lifted one of Ruffing's slants clear over the left field stands for his fifty-fourth home run of the season, a blow which further strengthened his position as the home run king of 1932. Ruth was playing left field. He didn't move from the time the ball was struck until it sailed out of the grounds. He Just stood there and looked at It, as If to say ''well, it's a nice poke, but that young fellow should have been around when the old master was banging 'em.” $60,000 RACE RENEWED By Timm Special LEXINGTON, Ky„ Sept. 22.—The $60,000 Hambletonian Stake, world's most valuable harness horse race, will be renewed for 1933, the Hambletonian Society voted here Wednesday night.

WITH scorekeepers and referees to check any possibility of a recount or penciling of the cards before the totals are tnnounced (such as might be customary in a political feud), Wally Middlesworth, city recreation director, and Tom Scanlon, deputy sheriff, were scheduled to settle the golfing supremacy of the Indiana Democratic Club this afternoon. In the annual tournament last week over the Speedway course the two turned in counts of 83. making the playoff today necessary. Ralph Stonehouse. pro at Coffin course, and his brother Russell, pro at Riverside, will play along to complete the foursome and referee and score the match. U St 0 Another city employe cut in on the golfing Rlory today when It was announced that Arthur Jines. a patrolman, had entered the hall of fame with a hole In one at Riverside Wednesday. Jines was playing with O. D. Bramniell and when they reached the third hole, a 125-vard poke, Jines hit his shot and paid little attention other than to direction. When Jines and Brammel were seen searching for the ball Bill Milan, greenskeeper at the course who saw the ball trickle into the cup, realized they did not know what had happened and told them where to look for tne ball. a a a Club championship of Pleasant Run will be settled Sunday in a thirty-six-hole match between S. A. Tomlinson and Harold Strickland. The first eighteen holes will be played at 8:30 a. m.

National League partisans stoutly assert that the Cubs’ staff of Warneke, Bush, Root, Malone, Grimes and Tinning has no equal. But American League supporters loudly proclaim the Yankees’ group of Gomez, Ruffing, Allen, Pipgras, Pennock and Walt Brown the foremost pitching array in baseball. If you believe in figures, the Yankees’ big four of Gomez, Ruffing, Allen and Pipgras has a shade on the Cubs’ quartet of Warneke, Bush, Root and Malone. Through games of Wednesday, the Yanks’ quartet has won 75 games and lost 26 as against a record of 71 victories and 43 losses for the Cubs’ four aces. But it may be a serious mistake to compare the two pitching staffs on their season’s record,' inasmuch as the Cubs’ staff didn’t hit its real stride until Charlie Grimm became team manager in early August. While the Cubs’ pitchers reached their peak during the last two months of the season, the Yankees’ pitchers have shown definite signs of slipping. The Athletics pounded Red Ruffing for an 8 to 4 victory Wednesday, and Lefty Gomez was knocked out of the box by the White Sox last week. Red FaWr, White Sox veteran, ‘who has spent nineteen summers pitching in the American League, remarked, after seeing the Yankee pitchers in action here last week: “The New .York club’s pitchers aren’t in shape. They’re loafing and have lost their form. Gomez doesn’t look to me like he can go nine innings. The Yankees are in for a surprise if they expect to beat the Cubs with the pitching they showed against the Sox.” The probable pitching choices for the first three games are: First Game—Guy Bush, Cubs, vs. Red Ruffing, Yankees. Second Game—Charley Root, Cubs vs. Lefty Gomez, Yankees. Third Game—Lon Warneke, Cubs, vs. Johnny Allen, Yankees. That lineup seems fairly certain, except the Cubs’ pitcher for the second game. If Bush should win the opener, Grimm might decide to gamble on Burleigh Grimes, pitching hero of last year’s world series, in the second game. Grimes has I been bothered by illness all season, and may not get into the series at all. Guy Bush, who has proved himself a great money pitcher, must be accorded an even chance to beat the Yankees at least once. The two leading pitchers of their respective leagues are scheduled to work the opening game in Chicago.

Riggs Stephenson

Allen, who has won seventeen games and lost three in his first year in the majors, is calculated to be most effective in Chicago because of the center field bleachers which form a handicap to the batters. Warneke, who has won twenty-two games and lost six, has allowed only 78 runs in 273 innings, or an average of about 3 runs per game. The biggest flaw in the Cubs’ staff is the fact that it is made up entirely of right-handers. Five of the Yankees’ regulars, Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Combs and Sewell, are lefthanded hitters, and as a rule murder right-hand pitching. To balance this defect, the Cubs have two great screw ball pitchers in Bush and Warneke, and the Yankees’ most formidable batters are known to be helpless against this type of pitching at its best. The Yankees have all the edge in previous world series experience, as they have three pitchers, Pipgras, Pennock and Wiley Moore, who

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NOW that the sports writers have hashed and rehashed the story of Mark Koenig and Tony Lazzeri, pals and former teammates who will be rivals in the 1932 world series between Chicago’s Cubs and the New York Yankees, maybe they’ll devote a little time to two more buddies who’ll be glaring at each other when action starts next Wednesday, They’re Joey Sewell, Yankee hot corner guardian, and Riggs (Ol’ Hoss) Stephenson, Chicago flychaser. You know that Koenig, the Cubs’ shortstop, and Lazzeri, New York’s second sacker, once rormed the keystone combination of the Yankees, and that their flawless teamwork largely was responsible for the championship New York team of five or so years ago. The relationship of Sewell and Stephenson is even more intimate. Joey and Ol’ Hoss were college lads together at Alabama—even fraternity brothers. ‘ When they left the campus, both turned to big league baseball, and both eventually reached Cleveland of the American League. Steve was a second sacker then, and Joey a shortstop.

Former Boss Indignant ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.—Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago | Cubs until Aug. 2, expressed indignation today that his former mates had not voted him a share of the profits to be derived from the world series. “There is something funny," Hornsby said. “I should have been counted in. Who is more entitled to a share? I had the team for the better part of the season. I built up the team. 1 played in right field and at third base, in addition to being manager.” By United Prcat CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—Rogers Hornsby, Chicago Cubs’ manager for two-thirds of the season, will not

share in the world series spoils of the National League champions. At a meeting Wednesday the Cubs voted to include twenty-three players and four attaches of the team in the division of the players’ end of the receipts of the world series with the New York Yankees, and completely ignored Hornsby, their ex-leader. The Cubs’ end of the receipts will be divided in twenty-four full shares. Twenty players, including Manager Charlie Grimm, and the two coaches, Red Corriden and Charlie O’Leary, will receive full shares. Mark Koenig, who joined the team in August and played an important role in the pennant drive, will receive a half-share, as well as Secretary Bob Lewis and Trainer Andy Lotshaw. Frank Demaree and Leroy Herrmann, other players who joined the Cubs in August, each will receive a quarter-share. The nineteen players, besides Manager Grimm, and the two coaches who will receive full shares are: Bush, Malone, Grimes, Warneke, Smith, May, Tinning, Hartnett, Hemsley, Taylor, Billy Herman, English, Jurges, Hack, Moore, Cuyler, Stephenson and Gudat. If each of the first four games is a sellout as expected each full share will be worth about $7,000 to the Cubs if they win and about $4,800 if they lose. The players share in only the first four games.

r T'HE Ol’ Hoss slowed down around second base, and Cleveland shipped him to Kansas City and then to Indianapolis. Here he learned to roam the outfield and he never lost his batting eye. The Cubs spotted him, and since his return to the big time he has been one of the biggest worries to National League pitchers. He's leading the Cubs in stickwork this year and his timely blows have won many games. Sewell also was tossed off by Cleveland. It was a break for Joey and the Yanks when the New Yorks picked him up as a free agent. Despite his age, Sewell took over the Yankee hot corner and has withstood the challenge of several youths. He’s still tne hardest man in baseball to threw ’ei past, having fanned but three times this year. And what's more, he’s been hitting in the pinches. He went on a batting rampage in June which helped the Yanks pile up the big early season lead which gave them ths flag. Wonder what Billy Evans will think when he sees Riggs Stephenson and Josey Sewell, two Cleveland castoffs, performing in the world series?

Keen Interest Displayed in Butler Sport Luncheon

Supporters of Butler university athletics, alumni, students and friends will turn out in large numbers Friday noon at the Columbia Club as a tribute to Fritz Mackey, new head football coach, and Tony Hinkle, athletic director.
