Odds Are 7-5 Bengals fake World Series Figures Show Detroit Has Better Record Than Senior Champs. RV THI.ON WRIGIIT In 1 1.4 Fr I rrpn<l*nt NEW YORK. Auc 31—Folks whOM interest in a'hietic contests is confined chiefly to cash laid on the line may be interested to know that odds of 7 to 5 are being laid tha' Mickey Cochrane and his Bengal cat' will take the world champion New Ye r* Giants in the coming world series. The odds may appear not only too long, but premature, considering that neither Detroit nor New York has been officially invited to take part. The Yankees and Cubs are still turning out in uniform and going through the motions. Hitting .30.i Face However, it may do no harm to peer at the comparative records of the Tigers and Giants. Detroit appear- to have the best of it on paper. with about a month to go. The Tigers are hitting at a 305 clip—a remarkable average for any club, and far in advance of either contestant in last year’s series. The Giant batting average is .287, eighteen points behind. Last year the champion Giants went into the big series with a batting record of .283. twenty-four points behind the Senators, who were hitting at .287. The Giants, it may be recalled, won the series. In fielding averages the Tigers show a definite edge. They have been officially accused of 18 bum plays, and their average is .974. The Giants have committed 147 foozles, for a mark of .970. Morale Counts Much Probably the most significant edge the Tigers have is in morale. Mickey Cochrane has his boys hustling along like a Kiwanis membership drive. Yesterday the Tigers gave Cleveland a smacking around to inaugurate their stay at League park. Held scoreless by Monte Pearson for six innings, they tied the score in the seventh when Rogell came in on a force-play and went ahead on JoJo White’s single, scoring Greenberg The Tigers added four the next inning and won, 6-1. Lou Gehrig pumped home two in the first to give New York its winning run over the Washington Senators, with Vernon Gomez dealing out only five hits for a 8-2 win.

pvR HARRY LEER, Indiana uniU versity alumnus, was the best golfer among more than 100 I. U. alumni who took part in an outing at Highland Golf and Country Club yesterday as a late summer excuse to gather together and hear Bo McMillin, new football coach, talk about his football prospects. The afternoon was given over to golf for the most part and Bo journeyed around the links, which he admired very much, in an even 90 blows. We did not keep count, but we believe he defeated his playmates, Le Roy Sanders and Willis Coval. a couple of golfing alumni who are very much interested in the downstate grid situation. tt a a 80. who is top fiite in congeniality, went through a series of antics such as standing on his head, showing how he dashed off tackle as an all-American quarterback at Centre college a few years ago. This after he introduced his new coaching staff composed of Ralph Graham. Clyde Smith and Tim’’ Temerario. Graham and Smith will assist Bo and Temerario will assist Paul (Pooch) Harrell with the backs.

WHILE traveling around the links we gained from Bo the information that he will be handicapped for at least another year in getting his squad up to some semblance of efficiency in fundamentals. The five-man back field, which has been called by some the right and left full back formation, but in reality is a shift proposition that has men shifting out of here and there and into here and there for the express purpose of overbalancing the opponents’ defensive formations, is a McMillin system that requires time to install, just the same as it takes time to install the Rockne, Warner or Yost systems of offense. At the dinner, in which approximately 150 enjoyed fried chicken, McMillin advised the alumni that he “nerds some big, raw-boned boys down there." Alumni were requested to ship, haul or drive that kind into the registrar's office. tt U tt M MILLIN went into the huddle with Noble Kizer recently and learned that Ohio university, his opening game opponent, is just as touch a team as any in the conference. he said. Kizer should know, after last year. Bo picks the Chicago Bears to win tonight's game against the AllStar collegians in Chicago because of superior team work, but he reserved the opinion that there were several classy ball toters among the collegians who might break away at any time for a touchdown. eon THE caddv championship at Highland was captured by Joe Stark. The final match with Edwin Beeson went extra holes, however. Beeson for several years has been a champion extra-hole match loser and this time he lost to Stark on the nineteenth hole. Both toured the links in 74 and on the extra hole. Joe had a birdie 3. while Beeson took a par 4.
