By Edldie Ash I nhappy Ending to Strib’s Ring Career ana, Seats Brought $7 at One Fight Here

A K TER traveling all over the world and all over his own country, meeting all comers in the squared circle, from pushovers to champions, Young (}V. L.) Stribling, the King of the Canebrakes, passed out active prize fighting yesterday as the result of an auto-motorcycle collision on the outskirts of his home city, Macon, Ga. His left foot was severed at the ankle and boxing followers everywhere, as well as all sport fans, are pulling for him to survive. Stribling fought twice in Indianapolis and returned on another occasion in 1931, as a second for a fighter in his father’s “stable.” His first appearance here was in 1924, at Tomlinson hall, against Harry Fay, whom he easily defeated on points. Ringside seats sold at $7 and the hall was packed. The Georgia battler performed in Indianapolis again in 1927, against Chuck Wiggins at old Washington park in a no-decision ten-rounder, the newspaper verdicts being split three ways. LOOKS like Babe Ruth will be back with the Yankees next year. The Big Gate Man socked a homer Saturday and another Sunday, helping win his own game on the Sabbath—which he pitched the full nine innings. Even an "efficiency expert” would throw up his hands over the ability of this old boy to carry on. The Babe made a speech Saturday night and picked the Senators to win the world series. ana ana BASEBALL fans backing the Giants confess they are placing most of their faith in Carl Hubbell, "the lefthanded Mathewson,” and they may be right. The immortal Christie carried the Giants to the world’s title in 1905 and established a record that never has teen equaled in a world's diamond classic. Matty pitched three shutouts against the Philadelphia Athletics, all nine-inning tilts. He downed Eddie Plank, 3 to 0, in the first game at Philadelphia, Oct. 9, allowing only four hits. In the third battle, Oct. 12, also staged in Philadelphia, Christie hurled another four-hitter and won, 9 to 0. Two days later, in New York, Oct. 14, with hardly time to cool off, he won again, 2 to 0, giving up only six hits. a a a a a a THAT 1905 series was strictly a pitchers’ combat, the huriers dominating in each contest of the five played. All conflicts were shutouts, Matthewson scoring three for the Giants and Joe McGinnity one. Joe won the fourth game, 1 to 0. The Athletics captured the second battle of the classic, 3 to 0, with Chief Bender on the mound. The losing pitchers were McGinnity, of the Giants, to Bender, in the second skirmish, Plank, twice, Andy Coakley, and Bender in the final game. Top honors, of course, went to Mathewson, with three victories and no defeats and twenty-seven innings of pitching without allowing his opponents a single run. He fanned nineteen and issued one walk in three games. He had one wild pitch and hit one batter and gave up only fourteen hits. a a a ana THE Joe Savoldi-Jim Browning heavyweight wrestling match In New York tonight will be carried on the baseball ticker tape. Joe is the champion of Three Oaks, Mich., and Jim is the champion of New York. The ticker will be up against the.same problem that puzzled the radio in attempts to broadcast mat bouts. The task of describing a yawn. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow. .Evidently Jumpin’ Joe was a large-sized acorn when he was a little shaver. He put Three Oaks on the map. a a a a a a IP you want to make away with yourself and desire to have somebody do it for you. send a box of shoestring potatoes to Coach Prank Wilton of Miami university of Oxford, O. Shoestring potatoes never again will be served on that campus. Wilton’s boys got caught up on the ancient football play Saturday at Bloomington and Indiana put over the winning touchdown. If you don't happen to know how the shoestring play works, write to Coach Wilton—and then leave for the port of missing men.

Stribling Recovering After Losing Foot By United Press MACON, Ga., Oct. 2.—W. L. (Young) Stribling, his ring career definitely ended by a motor accident, was in a serious condition today in a local hospital. The heavyweight's left foot was cut off by the fender of an automobile that sideswiped the motorcycle upon which he was riding last night. His entire left leg was crushed and his pelvic

bone w T as shattered. Stribling remained conscious. A few hours after an emergency operation at a hospital, he chatted cheerfully with his wife. Stribling showed improvement today and hospital authorities reported his general condition "better.” He spent a fairly good night, it was said. Stribling started winning ring fame as a Georgia high school boy of 16. He was nearly 29 years old when yesterday’s accident ended his career. He reached his peak two years ago when he fought the then world’s heavyweight champion, Max Schmeling, and lost in the fifteenth round on a technical knockout. Stribling's splendid physical condition and quick first aid by a trained nurse who happened to be passing by the scene of the wreck are believed to have saved his life. Stribling was returning from the Idle Hour Golf

Stribling

Club. An automobile driven by R. V. Johnson swerved to avoid hitting another machine and sideswiped Stribling’s motorcycle. ’ Miss Frances Jones and Roy Barrow rode by in another automobile.

Miss Jones, a trained nurse, wore a georgette shawl and made it into a tourniquet to bind Stribling’s leg. She said Stribling calmly asked if his foot was cut off entirely. She told him it was hanging by just a few' shreds of skin. Stribling turned to Barrow, a

That veteran strike artist. Johnny Fehr. steps into the limelight this week with a perfect 300 score rolled during the City League plav on the Hotel Antler drives Friday night. Fehr now will be wearing a ring from the American Bowling Congress as a reward for tvs feat. The new ruling of .he A. B C. gives the bowler the choice of the ring or medal, and a* Fehr already has the medal the ring is the logical choice. John Blue was on fire during his two sets last week, his total in the Indianapolis League Wednesday being 102 and his Washington League count Friday 117. a total of 1.419 for the six games, an average of 236'a pins per game. Jack Hunt also hit them in great, style and his four sets for the week were 693, 719. 619 and 624. an average of 221 pins per game. When the Fall City Larger Beer team tossed in a season's new high single game of 1.162. Ray Roberson was the hero with a 279 count. Hornbeck had a 258, Hunt 255. Quill 211 and Cray, suffering from that same old jinx, a 160. The teams three-game total of 3.094 was the week's high three-game score. Among the fair sex Laura Alexander Is showing the wav with an average well over the 180 mark This girl has been one of the outstanding stars on local drives each year, but this season appears better than ever. Amy McDaniel and Evalvn Wiesman also rolled some fine totals during the week's play. McDaniels' 584 being high for the week in all leagues Other names that appear regularly in the honor roll are Court. Lathrop and Cooney. Eddie Schott showed some old-time form when he crashed the maples for a 690 series during the South Side Business Men's Plav at the Fountain Square alleys last Monday night. Schott poured in the strikes for a 278 count one game. Lev Koelling finally broke the Ice and registered a score of 608. If this boy has hts hock working now. vou mav expect 600 totals to appear behind his name most anv aeries. C Schneider made the bovs of the St. Joan of Arc League think that a big leaguer had stepped in when he pounded the maples for a 679 to lead this loop bv a wide margin. The Dea Jeans who is seen in the Indianapolis League each week is the same lad who formerly battled it out with the veteran Walter English each vear in the old Big Four loop Several rears ago he was transferred east, but is back to stay and the bowlers all loin in when we sav welcome. Some one will have to start scouting that fellow Nessler who rolled a league leading total of 671 in the Service Club loop last Monday. Totals of these kind are needed very murti in anv loop. Hev hev— look at that bov Rutch McAllen go! McAllen has been having a hard tima reaching the 500 mark all season. but he snapped out of it Friday night and .turned in a total of 633. That looks wore like vou. Rutch. For a fowler who was winning watches and other prizes back in the Spanish American war days. Bob Darnaby is doing

friend, and said: “Well, kid, I guess this means no more road work.” The Striblings agreed that the accident w'as unavoidable and no i charges w r ere preferred against Johni son. He offered to give his blood I should a transfusion be needed for ! Stribling.

WITH LEFTY LEE

very well, thank you. His sets last week were 626 in the Indianapolis League and 654 in the Avalon loop. In the latter circuit it was the high total and he is the leading Individual with a season's mark of better than 200 pins per game.g W'hen laving those bets on 600 sets dont’ forget to place Fred Mounts on your list, as this bov is another bowler who is always appearing in the honor roll. Last week he was merely normal, when he registered counts of 621 and 668. Dan Abbott, his doubles partner, has not hit his stride as yet. but can be expected to break lose any time. That team of youngsters called the Fox Jail House team of the St. Philip No. 1 League is doing things and going places. The youthful pastimers are but one game awav from first place with a record of seven wins and two setbacks. One or two of the bovs will have to learn to hit under pressure, but that will come with experience, and they will be in the running all the way. Dr. Joe Kernel must have found the fountain of youth, if his bowling totals can be used as an indicater. as he has been hitting the old pocket in grand style His latest effort was a 661 that led the K. of C. League last week. This loon has felt the conflict of schedules more than anv in the city, and as their field is limited, the logical thing seems for them to change nights.

\ eller’s Toss Gives Indiana Close Win; Evansville Upsets Franklin

BY DICK MILLER The college footballers tuned in a lot of heat waves and boiled off a lot of poundage as they competed in half a dozen games on Hoosier soil Saturday. The results were only half-satifactory, with one out-of-state club going home in defeat, while another captured victory in our territory. Indiana warriors annexed a nonconference game from Miami, 7 to 0, and should be in top form w'hen they clash with Minnesota in the cooler climate of the Gopher district this w'eek. Evansville upset a vaunted Franklin crew, w'hile Purdue and Notre Dame each held final brushup sessions with games against frosh squads. Fans who saw Don Veller toss the pass to Wendell Walker that gave Indiana a 7 to 0 win over Miami of Ohio, recall the days not long ago when these two lads were bitter rivals while playing with southern Indiana high schools, Don with Bicknell and Walker with Vincennes. With 10,000 fans looking on and the game gradually nearing a 0-0 windup, Walker stole out to the sideline while the Ohio boys were occupied in bringing down Vercuski who had caught a pass for a twenty-yard gain, and before they could cover Walker, veller lined up and shot a spiral to him for a touchdown. Dauer place kicked the extra point. Miami was the aggressor in the opening half, registering six first downs to one for the home boys. The Hoosiers turned the tables in the second half and made nine to ! three. Sawicki slashed the visitor j line all afternoon and Veller and Walker hung up several nice gains. Purdue, with Purvis, Carter, Hecker and Pardonner doing everything expected of a back field quartet, smothered the frosh beneath a 63-0 count. Andy Pilney, sophomore half back sensation at Notre Dame, injected

Berger’s Pinch Homer Gives Braves Fourth Place in N. L.

By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—For the first time in twelve years, the Boston Braves finished in the National League’s first division, beating out the St. Louis Cardinals for fourth place on the last day of the season yesterday. Wally Berger, hard-hitting Boston outfielder who has been out of the lineup for two weeks due to illness, crashed a pinch home run off Reg Grabowski in the seventh inning with the bases full to give the Braves their victory over the Phillies, 4 to 1. Lon Warneke held St. Louis to six hits as the Cubs beat the Cardwjinning Giants be wed to Brooklyn, 5 to 2, despite some good pitching by young Johnny Salveson, while Cincinnati tightened its hold on the cellar by losing twice to Pittsburgh, 7 to 5 and 6 to 5. Babe Ruth pitched and batted New York’s Yankees to a 6 to 5 win over the Boston Red Sox, allowing twelve hits over the nine innings and hitting his thirty-fourth homer of the year. Rube Walberg’s six-hit pitching stopped the pennant - winning Washington, 3 to*o, in eleven inn-

Luck May Give Giants Edge in World Series Senators Stronger Off the Records, but New York Gets the ‘Breaks'; Hubbell Sure Starter, but Washington Slab Selection Still Is Secret. BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Not so many hours from now. In the Polo Grounds, and with better than 50,000 citizens in attendance, the New York Giants and Washington Senators will meet in the first game of the World Series. Both clubs have been "in” in their respective leagues for two weeks and during that time the experts of the press box have flooded the nation with statistics to prove the superiority of this club or that club. We have been told Hughey Critz's batting average, how many double plays Buddy Myer has worked in, how many shutouts Carl Hubbell has pitched, and how unorthodox is the strategy of Joe Cronin. And yet, who can name the winner with any degree of faith in his selection? No one, for all followers of baseball know that in a world series the only ordinary thing Is the extraordinary. The very nature of the competition makes it so. With the best four of seven games deciding the winner, breaks are exaggerated. Such trifles as pebbles in the infield, sun in an outfielder's eyes, a wild pitch, a bad decision can, and have, decided a series.

Rated strictly off the records, Washington has an edge. The Senators hold an advantage in the outfield and the infield and are every bit as strong as their rivals in the box. But the man who counts the youthful, inexperienced Giants out, is crazy, for the young men of Manhattan have much in their favor. Hubbell After Triple Win There is the little matter of luck, for example. They’ve been getting the breaks all season—even they admit as much—and the power that pulls the strings on the diamond boys might see fit to watch over them in the series. Then the Giants have Carl Hubbell. The lean, hungry-looking Oklahoman with the rubber left arm is a great pitcher. And, the study of the records show that a great pitcher has, single-handed, pulled an ordinary club through more than once. Matty did it. So did Smoky Joe Wood. And so did Babe Adams. Who knows but that Hubbell, with his smoking, mystifying screw-ball won’t take three games all by himself? “Another Pepper Martin” r Then tjiere is the possibility that one of the Giant youngsters will go berserk at bat, just as did Pepper Martin against the Athletics in ’3l. Only a fair hitter during the regular season, Martin went completely wild and it was his supposedly ineffectual bat that swung the tide toward the Cards. Manager Bill Terry has announced that Hubbell will pitch the opener. This occasioned no surprise, for the sooner Carl gets in there the quicker he’ll be ready for a second shot.
