Not that any one in Chicago, except perhaps gamblers who bet professionally, really wants them to lose.* This is as loyal a baseball city as it is an enthusiastic one. Even the White Sox fans from the south side, ordinarily ready to fight at the drop of a Cub compliment, have declared a truce and will flock to Wrigley field as staunch supporters of the north side club. As soon as the last out was made in New York late Thursday, Chicagoans started planning a homecoming for Charlie Grimm and the players. And out at Wrigley field the thud of falling hammers, the skirl ol electric saws, the shouts of workmen toiling against time was audible proof that the extra bleachers they are building will be needed to hold the estimated crowd of 52.000 for the Cubs’ first series game at home.

He is right to the extent that there is only one ball player on the Yankee team up to and during the second game of the world series.

and when the game was over, Manager Charlie Grimm of the opposing Chicago Cubs graciously hailed him as one of the outstanding pitchers of modern baseball. “He’s a greater pitcher than Lefty Grove of the Athletics was in the world series of 1929,’’ Grimm declared in the Cubs’ dressing room. “And that's some pitcher. I don’t know of any other flinger who could have held down the Cubs today because we were out there to hit. But Gomez had too much speed and hop for us.”

Certainly Lou is the one ball player who stands out above all the rest. There are other points in Kennedy’s oration that are worthy of attention. “Look over your list of ball players," he demands. ‘‘How many of them are New York boys. Very few in the whole league, and Gehrig is the only home-grown on the Yankee team. How about that?” Well, personally, that does not mean a whole lot to me. There never was a ball club that specialized in native products. I will ad-

In the Yanks’ dressing room, Gomez was the center of a whirlwind of congratulations. ‘‘What a pitcher—ivhat a pitcher!” echoed through the disorderly room as players scrambled out of uniforms. Meanwhile Gomez had managed to wriggle his six feet two into trousers apd shirt and was combing his hair, despite a pestering pack of reporters. Someone remarked it would be an appropriate time for Lefty to announce the date of his approaching wedding. “I can do that very thing.” Lefty came back with a smile. ‘‘June set the date today. We’re to be married the day after the Yankees come back from Chicago. Naturally, I hope we win the next two games— I’ll be home quicker.” Lefty's fiancee is a brown-eyed Irish beauty, Miss June O'Dea, the 19-year-old dancing star in the hit, "Os Thee I Sing.” She’s a New York girl. Gomez met her at a theater party some time ago. They will make their home in New York. Gomez comes from the obscure town of Rodeo, Cal. His fathher was one of the first professional rodeo riders in the country. He is a fastball specialist, reputed to have as much speed as any hurler in the big leagues. He played his first professional baseball in 1928 with Salt Lake City of the Utah-Idaho League. He went to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League in 1929. The Yankees brought him to New York in 1930, but were not impressed and sent him to St. Paul late that season. Last year Manager McCarthy of the Yanks didn’t use him as starter until mid-June. Then Lefty amazed every one by winning twenty-one games and losing nine. This season he won twenty-four and lost seven.

Ruth’s understudy. If you accepted him as that you were, by his own admission, paying him a very high compliment. The young man’s name was and is Gehrig. I will argue that there was a time when Gehrig should have been a very happy young man to carry Ruth’s bat, because when Ruth was Ruth there was no player who was even reasonably close to him in sheer ability—which is, and always has been, the least of his appeal. I have to confess, however, that fie is through. I watched him in the first and second games against the Cubs and he is just a well-fed veteran athlete, enthusiastic in his ambitions but quite lamentable in his accomplishments. The Babe has been to bat six times officially. He has made two hits—both singles. They don’t pay the Babe $75,000 a year to hit singles. Even doubles and triples mean little to him. The Babe is the high priest of slugging. With him It is four bases or no count. Well, before the series is over I expect to see the Babe slam out at least two home runs, because that is the one part of his genius that will endure for a long time. He can still follow the flight of the fast ball and he can still swing from the hip—and with a gusto and a grunt that nobody ever has duplicated in baseball. a st a KENNEDY is eminently correct. At least about giving cheers for Gehrig. The Columbia Dutchman is probably the greatest ball player the metropolis ever has developed. More than that, he is one of the finest team players, and competitive athletes. He is always in there dying for dear old Ruppert, and nothing ever gets his dauber down. They were wondering some days ago how much Ruth would contribute to the series. Well, in two games Ruth has contributed practically nothing. They are wondering now if Gehrig can win the series foV the Yankees single handed. The thing may change before the show is over but up to now the master has been dressing the valet.

Gomez Outpitches Warneke in Battle of Great \ oung Flingers

Fumble and Bad Hop Deprive Lefty of Shutout; Ruth Praises Cub Youngster as One of Year’s Best Hurlers Despite Loss. BY BABE RUTH CHICAGO, Sept. 30 —We had to swing against one great young pitcher in New York Thursday, j?ut we had the good fortune to have another great one working on our side, and now we can see nothing ahead but success in this world series with the Cubs. Lon Warneke, about whom we American League players read so much during the summer, proved to us that he was all they said he was. The fact that we beat him does not take away the fact that he is quite a pitcher. Vernon Gomez, of course, is better known. Lefty was a star through 1931, and he rang up twenty-four victories this year, seven of them against the Athletics. He turned in one of his best performances of the year in taking the second game decision over the Cubs, and he probably could have beaten any pitcher starting against him Thursday. A fumble and a bad hop alone prevented him from registering a shutout. It was our good fortune to have such pitching on our side on a day when Warneke was working. The Chicago box man showed us a better curve ball than Bush did, but he was a bit unsteady in the early innings, apparently from trying too hard. After the third inning, we did not get very far with his fast ball or his snappy curve. Yes. sir, Mr. Warneke is one of the best pitchers I have looked at this year.

The fact that we have won the two games with something to spare, while not coming through wtih anything like a real batting rally, makes us all.the more certain that the championship will be ours. We surely should win when we start to get hits in clusters. So far, we have not made more than two hits in any inning, but we have had the good fortune to get them while bases on balls were being passed out. Cub Attack Is Weak The first three runs scored in the second game were the direct result of passes w’hile Warneke was getting himself steadied down. Once he stopped walking us the innings became brief and the runs almost nothing. These Cubs surely showed us plenty of snappy work around the infield, but they don’t strike me as having so strong an attack as I had looked for. Perhaps that is explained in the fact that they have been swinging against two of the best pitchers in the American League—Ruffing and Gomez. When either one of these pitchers is going well the hitting of the other team is bound to suffer. They tell me that the Cubs are tough to beat on their home field, so we are looking for harder battles in Chicago. The Yankees have been tough to beat at home all year and there is no overlooking the fact that we had some advantage, slight or otherwise, in playing the first two games at home. We are invading Chicago with the idea of making another clean sweep if possible, but it isn’t going to be easy. The Cubs are bearcats on their home field where the fans are quite wildly excited about them. Picks Pipgras to Win I expect to see George Pipgras do our pitching in the third game of the series and if George shows anything like the form he displayed in the late weeks of the season, we should make it three in a row on Saturday. It looks as if they can't stop Lou Gehrig in this series, and when Lou is hitting at his normal clip, we don’t lose many games. I think we have two of the best men I ever saw at the top of a batting order. They have to pitch to Combs and they have to pitch to Sewell. It was because of Combs’ uncanny ability to judge a pitched ball that he drew the first inning pass Thursday after Warneke had two strikes on him almost as soon as he stepped to the plate. Combs’ walk made Warneke too careful with Sewell and Joe walked. Two passes w f ere cashed in later on hits by Gehrig and Dickey as runs and we never trailed after that.

Veteran Ohio State Eleven Strong Big Ten Title Threat

This is the last of a series of articles on Big Ten football prospects. Bp l iiitcil J’ress CHICAGO. Sept. 30—Ohio State is decidedly a contender for the Big Ten football championship this year. The Buckeyes have the material for a championship team, and most favorable schedule of any of ,the contenders. There seems to be just two stumbling blocks in Ohio State's path to its first title since 1920, and they are Michigan and Northwestern. Ohio State's other conference foes are Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois, and the Buckeyes count those games already won. A big factor in Ohio State's favor for their two big games is that Michigan meets Northwestern on the Saturday before playing the Buckeyes. and Northwestern plays Minnesota the week before meeting the Scarlet and Gray. Those two bat-

Writers Pick Boilermakers to Cop Title BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 30—Purdue, Big Ten champions in 1929 and cochampions in 1931, is favored to win the western conference football title this season, the annual United Press poy of mid-western gridiron experts revealed today. With one of the closest races in years in prospect, Purdue is picked to nose out Michigan for the championship with three other teams, Ohio State, Minnesota and Northwestern, dangerous contenders. A composite of the predicitions forecasts the following finish: 1— Purdue 6—Wisconsin 2 Michigan 7—lndiana 3 Ohio Stale B—Chicago t—Minnesota 9—lllinois s—Northwestern 10—Iowa Purdue’s favorable schedule and the wealth of veteran material at Coach Noble Kizer’s disposal were outstanding factors in making the Boilermakers favorites.

ties certainly won’t help either the Wolverines or Wildcats for the Ohio State game. Last year Ohio State won four conference games and lost two, being beaten by fterthwestern and Minnesota. Only three men of importance were lost from the 1931 team. They were Stuart Holcomb, half back, and Bill Bell and Bob Haubrich, regular tackles. There are fifteen letter men back, eight of them linemen and seven backs. Sam Willaman. beginning his fourth year as head coach, will continue to use a modified form of the Warner system. Carl Cramer, all-conference quarter back, and perhaps the greatest sophomorn player in the Big Ten last year; Captain Lew Hinchman and Bill Carroll, half backs, and Mike Vuchinich. full back, will form the first team back field. Cramer is a brilliant field general and a triple-threat man who will be a constant menace to the opposition. Hinchman is a great blocker. Carroll an elusive runner, and Vuchinich a powerful plunger. The reserve backs include Marshall Oliphant, letter man. and John McAfee, sophomore, quarter backs; Tom Keefe, letter man, and Dick Heekin. sophomore, half backs: Watson Welever. letter man, Damon Wetzel, sophomore, full backs. The line is made up of all veterans except at taikles. where Ten Rosequisl. 230pounder. who dropped out of school last year, and Regs Monahan, who weighs 208 and already Is being touted as all-confer-ence material in his sophomore year, have plugged the gaps.
