By Eddie Ash Bleacher Fan Has Most Series ‘Color’ B tt tt Sport World Mourns Death of Stribling

pXCEPT to the calloused world series goer, the autumnal baseball classics are all of that and more, especially to the fans in the cheaper seats, where John Public reigns supreme and whose picture never appears in the gazettes labeled “dignitary watches mighty teams collide, ’ or “in this choice lx)x sat Mr. and Mrs. So and So and guests.” \ou don't see the true world series baseball expression on the faces of the occupants of the boxes and you don’t hear the dyed-in-the-wool baseball comment in the sections where the news reel cameras forage and focus. , It's the rooters in the bleachers and low-priced grandstand seats who play the game right along with the players, shouting, throwing hats, gesticulating, pulling for their favorites or hurling the Bronx cheer at the “enemy” team. They don’t get a share of the gate receipts, but they want the home boys to get the larger slice of the swag. Sort of makes ’em feel ‘that in a way they will be reimbursed, too. 800 808 WITH the sport world In gay mood as time for the first world baseball series bell was about to ring, gloom stalked in and saddened thousands of fans of all branches of professional athletics. Young (W. L.) Stribling, heavyweight pugilist, passed away in Macon, Ga., early today. He had heard the last bell. With his left foot gone and pelvic bone shattered, as a result of an auto-motorcycle accident, the popular southern boxer failed to rally last night after showing signs of recovery yesterday. He started fighting at 16, and perhaps the wear and tear of fistic action over a long stretch of years weakened his heart. He was 28 at death. He fought all through the south, in the east, north, west, and in foreign lands, meeting the greats, the near-greats and the also rans. Sports fans who listened in on the radio in 1930 the night Stribling fought Otto Von Porat in Chicago will recall the Georgian’s breathless, brief speech after knocking out his opponent in the first round. He called out his wife s name and also to ' Mom,” his mother, who were listening in at Macon. “I knocked him out in the first. I didn’t receive a scratch. Starting home immediately.” tt tt tt tt a tt YOUNG STRIBLING was H six-footer and well built. He was of the “collegiate” athletic type and never took on the appearances of a ‘‘bruiser." He w'as a “Christmas baby," born Dec. 26, 1904, in Bainbridge, Ga. On three visits to Indianapolis, Stribling impressed local boxing followers as affable and courteous Here was an incident. He was approached and asked to autograph a photograph of himself. “My daughter is making a collection of autographed photos of sport celebrities and asked me to obtain yours,” Stribling was told. The boxer looked at the picture proffered and said: “Surely, but let me give you a better photo.” And Stribling went to his hand bag, found a more recent picture of himself, autographed it and handed it over with a smile. B B tt tt tt tt SEVEN pitchers have won three games in a w’orld series, Deacon Phillippe with' the Pittsburgh Nationals and Bill Dinneen for the Boston Americans, both in 1903; Christie Mathewson, with the New York Giants, in 1905; Babe Adams, lor Pittsburgh in 1909; Jack Coombs, for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1910; Joe Wood, for the Boston Americans, in 1912; and Stan Coveleskie for Cleveland in 1920. The 1903 series went eight games, five victories deciding that year. Pittsburgh took three out of the first four and then Boston got under way and annexed four in a row to capture the title. It was in the 1903 classic that Phillippe of the Pirates and Dinneen of Boston each won three tilts. Cy Young won the other two to give Boston the laurels. In 1920 Coveleski beat BrookIvn, 3 to 1, 5 to 1 and 3 to 0, holding the Dodgers to five hits in each of the games he worked. a tt tt tt tt tt 'T'O TIMES READER: It’s customary in baseball to base batting leader--1 S hip and ratings on number of games played in, 100 being the border line. Players who do not participate in 100 or more games are not included in the select group. For example, if one player batted .350 and played in more than 100 games, he would be given a higher rating than a player who batted better than that mark but participated in less than 100 games. The more games the player is in the harder it is to keep his batting averages in high figures. tt tt a tt tt INDIANAPOLIS baseball fans are glad in a way that one of their favorite plavers, Pete Chapman, will receive a chance in the majors next season, but at the same time think another year here would have been to his advantage. The Brooklyn Dodgers hooked the Tribe fly chaser in the big league draft that was conducted in New York last night. Chapman was optioned to Ft. Worth at the start of the 1933 season, but the young Hoosier played below expectations in the Lone Star state. Manager Killefer of the Indians had confidence in the outfielder and brought him back to Indianapolis. Chapman at first was used against only southpaw pitching, but under Killefer’s tutelage gradually learned to hit the righthanders as well and was kept in the lineup as a regular during the second half of the season. Pete also improved in fielding skill. He has a strong arm and is a good runner with sturdy legs.

Horse Sense BY O. RE VILLA AMERICA'S greatest race hoss of all time, Equipoise, is to be retired and will spend the rest of his days on the farm in Kentucky and eat the bluegr?.ss of which the state is so famous. His owner C. V. Whitney, said so himself, so it must be so. nun Equipoise, to my opinion, Is a greater horse than Man O' War, and the second greatest money winner on record must hang up his shoes and stay away from the ovals which made him famous and which he helped publicize himself. He must go into the discard after running his last race at Havre De Grace Saturday, finishing one length back of Osculator, who broke the track record for a mile and one-eighth. Ekky finished a length back, or one-fifth of a second off the new record, which equals the old track record, so you see the big boy was In there trying and don’t forget that with equal weight he would have beaten Osculator. a tt a Dark Secret popped down a week previous and defeated the Big Train from the Whitney stables, but you noticed Dark Secret finished up the race track Saturday while Ekky was equaling a long standing track record, which all goes to prove Ekky is the greatest and still the best bangtail America ever had. People will ask if that is so why are they going to retire him. That s just it. Remember, never believe anything you hear at a race track especialiy if it comes from an owner or trainer regarding his own stock. Ekky is being retired fust as he was last year and the year before. * ts Retired from the fall and winter racing, but you can take It from yours truly th3t when the sun is burning down with | a i°l °f power next summer you will be in there listening over the radio or at the track watching the big son of Penj nate - Swinging thundering down the stretch passing the field like It was tied i to trees. BUB This big racer doesn't like chillv weather and never did. and when the leaves begin to fall Whitney starts the old swan song and Ekky is rushed off to the farm with the peoples minds filled with regret that the big hoss is broken down and all that sort of thing. Don't get gray. He is still sound as a bell of brass and will be with you all again next summer, and permit me to predict that this time next year he will be the biggest money winner of all times.

‘Himch’ Players Have Big Problem in Series

Both Giants and Senators Appear Favored by Good For-

tune; Nats xHold Edge on Paper, but Terry's Men Htave Been Surprise of Year.

\ BY JOE WILLIAMS Nen\ Tork World-Telecram St>ort Editor ” NEW YORK, Oct . 3.—1 think it was Canfield, the mauve decade gambler, who said: “I wouldn’t trade a good hunch for all the information in the world.” By information, he meant inside tips, probabilities scientifically arrived at, and the like. I entertain a deep weverence for these spiritual messages called hunches myself. Such a Airmula at least makes the proposition of being wrong painless. There is nothing comforting about reaching an incorrect conclusion through the medium of tedious effort. At the Polo Grounds tlUp afternoon, the Giants met the Senators in the first game of the world series. The series is loaded with hunch possi- * bilities. A hunch player can ffcnd It very easy to like the Giants. Or, for 4 that matter, the, Senators. ' \ The Giants are reminiscent- of the White Sox of 1906, in that they are weak at bat and strong in the) box. The White Sox won their pennant acd then beat the great Cub ma'chine in the playoffs. Any Journeyman huncher can find enough nourishment in these facts to predict a victory

for the Giants over the Senators. r jSue Giants have been the surprise* team of baseball this year. has been the greatest reversal of form, the sport has known in a number of years. At one time last year t\iey were in last place. Back in 1914 the Braves, last in July, were champions in October. Nor did they stcf.l there. In the playoffs they beat the"! supposedly invincible Athletics fo<\r straight. The parallel here is close enough to stir the emotions <i\f any huncher. Huncfters Also Like Nats But that'* is only one side of the case. The' more earnestly the huncher dids for divine guidance the more comused he becomes. Consider the Senators. They won their first championship in 1924 under a boy manager • who played the Infield. In the\ playoffs, they beat a team of Giants that had won four successive penna nts. After winning, their own league fight again the .following year the Senators suffered! a slump in power, and did not return to pennant land until this year, -when once more they won under a \boy manager stationed at an infield; position. Adding to the coincidence! the Senators again face a team Giants in the series. \ Asa general thin A, luck plays a vital part in determining the series, and for that reason, ifi is not always wholly idiotic to ignoxe obvious advantages in team strength and Individual factors. How l is any one ever to-known, for example, when a Pepper Martin is going, to come roaring into the series to* take command all by himself? Before the 1931 series started, Martin was looked upon* as just another ball player. He t*irely had managed to hit .300. In. the advance calculations nobody considered him seriously. You recall, of course, what happened. He made a one-man rodeo of the series, and a mental wreck of Mr. Cornelius McGillicuddy. Senators Lead on Paper', On paper, it is simple to figure the Senators as the ultimate victors. They lead both leagues in hitting, with .289 against .265 for the Giants. They lead their own league In fia’.ding, with .978 against .973 for ihe Giants. They have made 136 mdve hits than the Giants and forty-oiie fewer errors. They have two pitchers who have won more than twenty games. Carl Hubbell is the only Giant pitcher who has won as many* as twenty games. Add it all up and it means a better balanced ball club. Admitting the superiority of the Senators as reflected in the season’s records and the greater power of the American League as indicated by five triumphs in six starts, I still concede the Giants a better than fair chance to come through on top. I like their spirit, their pitching and their ability to rise to emergencies.
