By Eddie Ash Klein’s Lonjf-Term Fat Contract Expires BBS Manush’s Reach Counts in Big Scramble

KLEIN, leading hitter of the big leagues, will leave fishing and hunting. Later he will go to Texas and stay a month with Pinkie Whitney, Boston National infielder, his boon companion. Whitney is now headed for Mexico City to take part in fourteen exhibition games with a bunch of barnstormers. He left Indianapolis today following a short visit with Klein. Chuck’s three-year contract with the Philadelphia Nationals has expired, but new terms won’t be discussed for some time. He collected more than $40,000 on the old contract. If Klein is sold to the Chicago Cubs he will get a great break and more money. The Cubs have it and the Phillies do not possess much more than small potatoes in a financial way. Chuck’s wonderful work with the willow the past season put tears in the eyes of opposing pitchers and managers, and rich owners also took notice. a a a bob PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT was late in arriving at yesterday’s world series game. Perhaps he was back in the ticket line and was delayed in reaching the box office. Anyway, it rained before game time and it’s possible the nation's chief had to send out after an umbrella. In a player scramble after the first ball tossed out by the President, Heinie Manush of the Senators captured the souvenir sphere. Heine is a tall guy with a long reach and he made a good catch despite jostling by his mates ana Giants. Baseball Commissioner Judge Landis was there, but his authority was diminished. Roosevelt topped him and remained until the last out. He used to be a third sacker on his school nine. 808 808 MINNESOTA, Notre Dame and every other team that faces the Indiana eleven this year will have to deal with more “team” than did Hoosier opponents last season. Indiana’s addition to the “new deal” is that the average Crimson scrapper this season is almost five pounds heavier than the average man last year. The average 1932 gridder weighed 180 '1 pounds, while the NR A cousin of 1933 has been inflated to 185 ! 2. The “Big Berthas” of the squad are Otto Kuss, Pine City <Minn.) tackle, and Fred Antonini, Clinton center, who wobbles the scales at 215. Both big boys are lettermen. A survey of altitudenal qualifications shows that the average Scrappin’ Hoosier, 1933 model, is 5 feet 11 3-10 inches, just one-fourth of a cleat less than six feet. The skyscrapers are E. Antonini, sophomore end from Clinton; Otto Kuss, the Minnesota giant, and Bob Jones, guard from Wabash, all three measuring 6 feet 3 inches. Average team age is a shade over 21. The “grandpappy” is F. Antonini, veteran Clinton center, who has seen 26 football seasons come and go, while there are nine aspirants who are still in their ’teens, being 19. The average Indiana quarter back weighs 165 2-5 pounds; center, 190 U; guard, 185; end, 180; tackle, 195 1-5; half back, 173, and fuU back, 185. B B B 808 THE defeat of Northwestern by lowa last Saturday was more than an upset. It was a shock to the Big Ten schools that placed the Hawkeyes on their schedule and designated the date as “home-coming.” Campus student managers like to have a suitable and formidable opponent for ‘•home-coming.” but they usually pick one they figure the home warriors are sure of trouncing as a means of making John Alumnus swell with pride and tear around the campus in the manner of a 2-year-old. Maybe the Hawks knew they were tough when they agreed to a lot of heartbreaking games. Anyway, look at their schedule: Northwestern already bumped off and then will come Bradley, a breather; Wisconsin. Minnesota, lowa State, Michigan, Purdue and Nebraska. From an underdog the lowa eleven has pulled loose from the chain and is running at large yapping for more juicy bones to devour. a B B 808 JIMMY PHELAN, former Notre Dame star and later head coach at Purdue, is the enemy of football gamblers on the Pacific coast. He is chief coach at Washington university, Seattle. Thousands of dollars are bet on football games and on points scored out there. It’s a hot bed of gambling rings with college contests receiving heavy play every season. Said Phelan in a recent article: “I try to find out how the betting is before important games. Suppose they are backing us to win by two touchdowns. Well, I make every effort to win by one.” Phelan believes the quality of football played in the Big Ten as a whole is superior to that generally produced on the coast. He expressed the following view: “Southern California probably would have beaten any of the Big Ten champions during the last few years and will continue to be a better football team than any Big Ten team can muster within the next few years, barring accidents. The average strength, however, of Big Ten elevens is above that of the Pacific coast conference’s.” 808 808 MANY early season bouquets are being tossed in the direction of the Boilermaker grid camp at Purdue and the football experts and near experts think Noble Kizer will capture the Big Ten title this fall. And that’s this column’s opinion, too. The Purdue back field is set and the coaches are bearing down on the forward wall, repairing weaknesses here and there. The lid-lifter at Lafayette is carded for Saturday, Boilermakers vs. the strong Ohio university eleven, the Bobcats. It will be a chance for Indianapolis fans to get a good slant on the Kizer scoring machine. It promises hard and swift football. 808 808 A paragraph from the east says a golfer in the New York district drove a ball 200 yards into the pocket of a linksman holing out on the green ahead. Did the bottle break?

Three I. U. Quarter Backs, Center to Miss Gopher Fray

By United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 6. With three quarter backs and a center unable to play because of injuries, Indiana university football followers were pessimistic today over the Hoosiers’ chance to beat Minnesota. The Crimson squad departed for Minneapolis yesterday with Don Veller, regular quarter back, suffering from a leg injury; Johnny McDonald, second string quarter back, on crutches because of a broken ankle, and Rip Peters, third choice

Buddy Myer Baffles Experts — Is He Goat or Hero of Series?

By United Press Washington, oct. 6—There are series goats and series heroes, and Buddy Myer is a little of both, if you please. Buddy isn’t quite a veteran, in sports writers’ lingo, and yet he certainly isn’t a youngster, though this is his first world’s series. You’d figure him to play his normal game in a series, treating it all as a matter of business. But you’d figure wrong. In the first game in New York, Buddy blew up like a high strung colt in his first race. He made three errors, and without taking credit away from Hubbell for his fine pitching for the Giants, still it may be said that Myer contributed plentifully to the disastrous opening defeat of the Senators. In the second game, Buddy quieted down and played good, uninspired baseball. In the two games, he got one hit and one run. He didn’t bat in any

Sox Capture Second Game By United Press CHICAGO. Oct. 6.—Victorious in the first two games, the Chicago White Sox moved to their own grounds today to meet the Cubs in the third game of the city series at Comiskey park. Forty-nve-year-old Urban (Red) Faber, oldest major league ball player, blanked the Cubs yesterday, 2-0* for the Sox second straight triumph at Wrigley field before 8,378 persons. He allowed only five hits. Ted Lyons. White Sox, and Charle Root. Cubs, both right-hand-ers, were named to pitch today. The fourth game, scheduled tomorrow, has been postponed out of respect for the memory of William L. Veeck, Cubs’ president, who died yesterday. Veeck’s funeral will be held tomorrow.

Babe Says Whitehill Wrecked Fallacy of ‘Dead’ and ‘Lively’ Spheres When He Held Giants to Five Hits; Myer Recovers Form and Shines. BY BABE RUTH WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—1 always have argued that it is the pitching rather than the ball which would determine the result of the world series, or any other series for that matter. I never could believe that there was any great difference between the ball used in the American League and that used in the National. Yesterday afternoon the answer was Earl Whitehill, not the ball. The Giants got ten hits in each of the games in New York while swinging at the National League’s so-called "dead” ball, and they got only five here yesterday while taking their swings against the so-called “lively” American League ball. And what is more, each of the New York games showed fifteen hits, and this one, with the American League ball, showed one under that figure. That brings us back to pitchers. Lefty Whitehill had his control, and when he has that he is hard to beat. He lost it for just a brief time in the second inning and he was favored with a great catch in the third just before the Giants bunched their only two hits in one inning. Except for these two he always was master of the situation and gave a marvelous exhibition. No team could have beaten him yesterday.

quarter back, suffering from a badly injured shoulder. Ray Dauer, a half back, is expected to be given the signal calling assignment. He was quarter back for the Hoosiers two years ago. In the back field he will be assisted by Sawicki and Sutherland, half backs, and Walker, sensational sophomore, full back. Fred Antonini, 220-pound center, will be unable to play against the Gophers tomorrow because of torn ligaments. Jack Sprauer will assume the center burden. The other Crimson regulars all are in shape.

runs. He made three putouts and five assists. a tt tt SO Buddy trotted out on the home lot yesterday, right in line for the official goatship if he made another slip. And what did Buddy do about it? He slapped himself three hits, one a double. He drove in two runs and scored one. He made three putouts and three assists, including a couple of amazing plays that brought the home town crowd to its feet. So which is 'ihe —goat or hero?

Fitzsimmons also pitched better ball than one would suppose from the 4 to 0 score. He couldn’t make that knuckle ball work properly in the first inning, and the result was a pair of doubles and a single which sent him away to a two-run handicap. Once he got really started he had the knuckler in control, but it did him no good, because the Giants couldn't get to Whitehill for some runs. Early Strain Off It was the fastest and best played game of the series so far. I figure that was due to the good pitching and also to the fact that the early series strain was worn off. You often hear that players regard these games the same as any other games, which is true. However, it usually takes them a day or two to let the importance of world series games wear off. Most of the players of these two teams are taking part in their first world series, and victory means so much every day that it is only natural to find them “pressing.” There was some great fielding out there yesterday, with Critz and Myer doing the real spectacular work and Bluege the consistently steady play. The only error of the game was the result of Cronin trying too hard to start a double play. I said after the first game in New York that Buddy Myer wouldn’t let these three errors annoy him. Myer Stages Comeback He was the all around star yesterday, with three hits which figured in as many runs, and six chances in the field, including the best catch of the series to date. Myer started the first inning attack and brought in the first run. all that Washington needed to win. He drove in a run with his double in the second, and another with his single in the eighth. It will be Hubbell against Weaver today. At least, I understand that Joe Cronin plans to use Weaver. Naturally, Bill Terry wants to protect the advantage which he gained by winning those first two games, and Hubbell is his best bet. I hardly look to see him be as effective as he was in the first game when he struck out ten and allowed only five hits. Weaver has plenty of stuff. I look for a low scoring game, dependent entirely on how much that Tuesday game took out of Hubbell. (Copyright, 1933, Christy Walsh Syndicate)

Purdue Is Overwhelming Favorite in Big Ten Race

By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—Purdue is an overwhelming favorite to win the Big Ten football title, according to a poll of leading midwestern sports writers by the United Press. Fifteen winters participated in the pool and twelve selected Purdue to win the championship outright. Os the other three, one picked Purdue and Michigan to tie for the title, another picked a tie between Purdue and Ohio State, and the other picked Michigan to win the title, with Purdue and Ohio State tying for second place. A majority figure that Purdue’s so-called light Big Ten schedule will enable the Boilermakers to carry off the laurels for the third time in five years. The Boilermakers play Minnesota, Chicago, Wisconsin, lowa and Indiana. One critic rates Purdue and Michigan on even terms, but figures Purdue’s schedule will allow the

Hagan Gets Irish Post Steve Banas Ousted From Back Field on Eve of Opening Game. By Times Special SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Oct. 6 —With Lowell (Red) Hagan, senior from Monroe City. Mo., promoted to the full back job, Notre Dame’s starting back field for the Kansas game Saturday will be completed with Frank Gaul, diminutive quarter back, and Nick Lukats and Ray Brancheau, veteran half packs. Hagan displaced Steve Banas, triple-threat star of last year’s club, who apparently had clinched the job. Three sophomores are in the alternate back field, which will have Tony Mazziotti at quarter back, Andy Pilney. sensational ball-toter and passer, and John Tobin at half back, and Don Elser at full back. Anderson plans to use both combinations as first-string quartets, alternating them under the unit system, in which he plans to substitute from two to five men—four backs and a center—to get the best combination. In the line, veterans will get the call at all positions. Ed Krause, all-American tackle candidate: Hugh Devore, star end, and Harry Wunsch, acting captain and guard, are the stars of the forward wall. Kansas is expected to provide the Irish a stiff opening test. The western crew has won two games this season and are in top shape for the battle. Notre Dame, however, is a big favorite. Prep Elevens in Six Games Four games today, one tonight and one tomorrow afternoon are on the program for city prep elevens. Heading the card was the Short-ridge-Cathedral rivalry struggle this afternoon at the north side field. In previous battles, each has won two decisions, and one game ended in a tie. Tech’s powerful eleven was reported in top shape for today’s conference tussle with Morton of Richmond at the east side field, while Broad Ripple hoped to break into the victory column against Noblesville at Ripple. Southport's unbeaten warriors played at Seymour this afternoon. Tonight, Washington’s husky machine invades Shelbyville for action. In Saturday’ only game, Manual invades New Albany.
