By Edldie Ash Big Series Teams Have College Yells m m m Senators Tap Keg After Nailing Hag

pERHAPS a couple of college teams are going to clash in ■*" that autumnal classic next week to determine the world s baseball championship. At any rate each team has adopted a slogan like the rah rah boys. The battle cry of the New York Giants is "They Can’t Beat Us,” originated by Blondy Ryan, shortstop, and the war yell of the \\ ashington Senators is "Let’s Take the Giants,” authored by Joe Cronin, manager. It looks like one of the best years for good, oldfashioned shoutin’ from the dugouts of the opposing nines. When the Senators clinched the American League pennant last Thursday Cronin received congratulations by wire from all over the country, but the best one for a laugh came from Frank Crosetti, New York Yankee infielder and fellow townsman of the Senator pilot. Frank messaged: "Keep the world series in San Francisco, Joe.” Last year the Yankees copped the A. L. flag and then knocked off the Chicago Cubs in the title play. Cronin and Crosetti are idols of the Golden Gate territory. a a a bob CHARLIE DRESSEN. Little Charlie, gets a break at the expense of Johnny Vergez. who has had more than his share of bad luck in life and baseball. Dressen, the former jumping jack third sacker of the American Association, with St. Paul and Minneapolis, was placed on the world series eligible list late Monday after Washington had given its consent to Judge Landis, the baseball chief. Dressen graduated from St. Paul to Cincinnati and after several years under the big top was sent back to the minors with Minneapolis. Chuck finally fell below American Association class and Mike Kelley helped him get a job ns manager at Nashville. He was a playing pilot in the Southern Association this season, turned in a nifty performance and the Giants grabbed him to help out in the emergency when Vergez was knocked out by appendicitis. B B B B B B DRESSEN did not join the Giants in time to be usteu as an eligible for participation in the series, but due to the circumstances the rule was lifted by the Senators and Judge Landis, and here he is. He will receive one-fourth player share of the Giants’ cut of the melon. Pretty soft for a veteran. Manager Terry has not announced if he will start Dressen at third, for Travis Jackson, the trick knee infielder, is available and may draw the assignment at the outset and remain at the position so long as his bad leg holds up. It was Dressen who supplied one of the best h’ehaws of the 1933 spring training season. He approached one of his rookie fielders at Nashville and asked: “Hew do you field?' And received the reply: “Oh, I feel all right. How do you feel?” B B B B B B CLARK GRIFFITH, president of the Washington Senators, had one grand surprise for Joe Cronin and his pennant winners when they walked into the clubhouse last week after putting the clincher on the gonfalon. Griffith shook hands all around with Joe and his players, there were several talks made and then a door swung open and a barrel of beer was wheeled in for the athletes to swim in for the one evening. It u a brief party, but the “real stuff” put an added kick in the pennant celebration. The boys were made to understand, of course, that the celebration was to end with that party and not be repeated “until after the Giants were trounced.” B B B B B B THE Giants have announced the manner in which they will split up their world series profits and the pay-off will extend all the way down to the bat boy, Joe Troy, who will be awarded SSOO. Henry Fabian, groundkeeper, will receive $1,000; Fred Logan, clubhouse man, SBOO, and his son Ed, S2OO. Half player shares will go to catcher Harry Danning and pitcher John Salveson and quarter shares to Charlie Dressen and pitcher Bill Shores. Twenty-one players will receive full shares. Other full shares will go to coaches Tom Clarke. Snyder and A1 Smith, trainer Willie Schaefer and secretary' Jim Tierney. Full-share players are: Manager Terry, Critz, Jackson, Vergez, Ryan, James, Joe Moore, Davis, Ott, ODoul. Peel. Richards Maneuso, W. Clark, Hubbell, Fitzsimmons, Schumacher, Parmelee, Luque, Bell and Spencer. Lefty ODoul and Watson Clark have Lady Luck on their side. They were with Brooklyn at the start of the campaign and got transferred in a mid-season trade. BBS 808 THE clan Antonini evidently is destined to bolster indefinitely the Clinton high school and Indiana university football machines. It has been going on for some years and there is every indication it will continue. At present Ettore Antonini, end, and Fred Antonini, center, cousins, are numbered among the best of Coach Billy Hayes warriors at I. U. Ettore has a younger brother who is an end and FYed also has a brother following in his foosteps as a center. The youngsters are showing much promise in high school and if they enter Indiana the Bloomington campus will see them before Ettore Antonini graduates.

I. U. Backs Seek Jobs Crimson Line Nearly Set, but Ball-Toting Berths Are Uncertain. By Timet Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 26 The polishing of a line averaging 200 pounds and bitter battles between sophomores and veterans for back field berths continued at Indiana U. today as Coach Billy Hayes prepared his charges for their first start of the season here Saturday against Miami U., 1932 Ohio Conference champion. A real fight is being waged for the wing berths, with Ettore Antonini, giant sophomore from Clinton, apparently certain of one starting assignment. His work has been Lyons Faces Battle Fitz Lyons, big Negro who starred as a sophomore but slumped last year, will get the other job if he regains form, but he is getting a lively battle from Don Phipps and Ralph Schilawski, sophomores. and Bruno Vercusko, Akron (O.) junior. Eddie Anglemyer and Ralph Rcnegar are certain at tackle, with Richard Zoll, Pete Beeson and Owen Jackson as other veteran candidates. Bob Jones, former full back, is starring at guard, and his starting mate probably will be big Dick Voliva, with Oren Crum, Wes Busbee, Red Stevenson and Franklin Wade as reserves. Jack Sprauer holds an edge at center, with Fred Antonini, giant senior, as his leading rival. Veller Sure Starter The back field is far from settled. Don Veller is a certain starter, probably at quarter back. He may be moved to half back to make room for Johnny McDonald, another Clinton giant who is a snappy field genera! and triple threat star. Wendell Walker, fleet 200-pounder from Vincennes, will make his collegiate debut at full back. "His replacements will be Adolph Sabik, stellar pass tosser, Bob Keck and Russell Wyatt. The half back assignments are scrambled. Larry Sawicki, veteran blocking star, probably will get job. Ray Dauer, Jack Sutherland, Jesse Babb, and Ivan Fuqua lead the other contender.

was no one to referee. In a moment of weakness I was persuaded to act. For several reasons it would have been the better part of wisdom to remain outside the ring. I don’t know yet flrhy I insisted on going in there. Those two cocktails seemed feeble enough. The first bout brought together Benny Ginsberg, who is known as the Jewish champion, by way of avoiding possible confusion, and Andrew Mixner, an immediate descendant of the Piltdown man. Neither of the gentlemen paid a great deal of attention to the referee. I am afraid I merited their scorn at the outsef when with a naivete peculiar to the novice I demanded to know which one was supposed to win. This seemed to me

a fair question. After all we were among friends. “You referee. We wrestle,” boomed Mixner with a finality that put me firmly in my place. ana THE second bout was much mere trying on the referee, and had the ultimate effect of making me both a referee and an ex-referee all in the same evening. I mean when it was over, I formally announced my retirement from the ring. A more energetic press would have had some mention of this in the daily newspapers. A young Jack Hurley wrestled a young Ernie Dusek. They seemed singularly anxious that I continue to referee. They recalled some of the wrestling stories I had written.

The local grid machine is taking on power with daily workouts enabling Coach Joe Dienhart to work up a smooth-running offense and further stress defense which proved to be a strong local forte last week against the Chicago Cardinals. Bill Boyd, local back field man and a reliable punter, who has been on the injured list for several days, joined the Tribe in practice Monday and appeared to be in good shape for the Giant tussle. All other players on the Indians’ roster, with the exception of Schoenfelder, who was injured in the Cardinal fray, are reported in excellent shape. The game is expected to draw the largest crowd of the season here, with no increase in admission. Seeing a bright future for pro football in Indianapolis, John Joss, former Yale tackle, and Conrad Ruckelshaus, well-known local sportsmen, purchased the controlling interest in the Indianapolis team Monday night. Both declared themselves ready to give the team much personal attention and support * n addition to making every effort to strengthen the club.

Deunerline’s score was 588, and it carried off the top honors. The Grotto team was below its usual form during the Fraternal series at the Illinois drives and as a result lost all three to Gun Club. Seimier Towel also dropped three to the Moose as Crown lost two to Imps. After a slow start W. Heckman found his stride in the final game and rolled a 257 to total 601. C. Schneider was the star of the St. Joan of Arc play on the Uptown alleys, when he closed his series with the season’s second highest game, a 289. to total 679.

Then Dusek would take dead aim and hurl Hurley at me. This continued for twenty minutes. ana HURLEY employed a rather primitive technique. Ha was remindful of Walter Johnson in his early days.

First Hurley would be thrown at me on a straight line, then in a wide sweeping curve, and finally with the bewildering, fluttery effect of a knuckle ball. It was the knuckle ball throw that finally brought me down flat on my face. I saw it coming, but I couldn’t pull away fast enough. I was nicked on the thigh by Hurley’s head, and then everything went black . . . when I came to the appreciative doctors were shouting: That's swell. Hit him again.”
