By Eddie Ash Frisch on Spot Over Dean Incident mam Interesting Figures on De Pauw Tilt
£)IZZY DEAN was deliated twice over the week-end, as a base runner and pitcher. Shortstop Bill Rogell of the Tigers “took him out” on Saturday and Charlie Gehringer deflated his mound prestige yesterday by smacking that homer. It proved to be the winning tally. The throw’ by Rogell, that knocked Dean cold, had the speed of a bullet on it. Bill said it was an accident. L'sing a pitcher as a pinch runner also marked the deflation of Frankie Frisch as a mandger, especially in view of the fact he had a number of eager substitutes sitting around who really can run and want to run. The average pitcher is no bargain on the bases at any time. The hurlers don’t see enough of that kind of action and are not trained in ducking* dodging, diving and sliding. Bmm 800 THE blistering of Frankie Frisch for his unwise move in permitting Dean to go dancing out on the paths started in the Sunday morning St. Louis papers. Following is part of one story touching on the incident: “In the press box score the reporters looked at one another, puzzled. Dean to run? What for? What about the utility players or pinrh hitter:? But Dean, the man on whom the Cardinals were depending to win the world series for them? In Heavens name, why? "A slide Into .'econd. a wrenched ankle, a spike cut, a bruised arm, torn ligamei t, ar.d there goes your star pitcher. Certainly D*vn was worth $50,000 or $<50,000 net to the Cards in series cut alor" Frr-rh was westing that money on a job that could have been filled bv a SSCO rookie. Why? No one will ever know. We all waited a litt breath!', to see what would happen. Disaster struck like forked lightning. The bill that struck Dizzy on the head bounced thirty feet into the air and 100 feet away ” nan a a a In the last thirteen world series the championship was won by the team that annexed the second game. Detroit captured the second tilt of the current autumnal classic and the hunch players are about to land out In front again aaa a a a AN answer to the question, “How many minutes in a football game are the players actually in action?” was compiled at the De PauwEvansville game at Oreencastle Saturday. B*rt Coffin, who was holding the down box as assistant to the headlinesman and thereby in a point of vantage to note accurately the movement of the ball, held a stop watch on the ball. It is generally considered that the moments the football player actually undergoes of heart, nerve and muscle strain, if any, is from the time the quarter back shouts “Hike ’ until the referee blows the ball ‘down.” During the first quarter, which consumed approximately thirty minu tes. the time that the ball was actually in motion amounted to exactly wo minutes and forty six <2:46' seconds. The second quarter, spread over a little more than thirty minutes had the ball actually in play two minutes and forty-two <2:42) seconds. Then there was a fifteenminute rest period between halves, and the third quarter that consumed approximately another thirty minutes had the ball actually in play two minutes and forty-four <2:44* seconds, and the last quarter two minutes and thirty-four <2:34) seconds. a a a a a a rpwo hours and twenty minutes actually elapsed between the time 1 of the first kickoff and the final gun. Os this time the boys were actually on their toes in tense action exactly ten minutes and forty-six <lO 46) seconds, almost equally divided between each half, the first showing 5:2<5 and the second half 5:18. It also is interesting to note how nearly equal the entire four quarters were, the ball being in play 2:46 in the first quarter for the longest time and 2:34 in the last quarter for the shortest time, a difference of twelve seconds. While the player who was in the game the entire time was the only one to be in action the entire ten minutes and forty-six seconds, it is further interesting to know’ that Coach Raymond Neal of De Pauw 7 used thirty different players and mast of them were in the game at least twice, which further cuts down the total time for the De Pauw warriors. a a a a a a THE action of the Indianapolis District Golf Association in bringing Dr. John Montieth Jr. and Kenneth Welton. greens experts of the United States Golf Association, to Indianapolis to conduct a clinic on golf course maintenance is to be commended. Every golf club in the district area was invited to have their greenskeeper, greens committee chairmen and others interested in the subject on hand today at Highland Golf and Country Club. The turnout proved there Is keen interest in discovering what causes brown patch, greens to sour, how to plant bent greens and other questions the two guests are in position to answer. Ralph Young acted as chairman and during the course of the day the group, numbering near fifty, visited most of the Jocal private and municipal courses, discussing problems on the scene of trouble. Clifford Waggoner, secretary of the district association, said future clinics will be held.
*Powerhouse ’ Matmen Top Hercules Bill at Armory Big Boy Davis Is Unlikely to Have His Own Way When McMillen Climbs Into Ring. Big Bov Davis, who boasts that he is superior to anyone when it comes to “giving and taking" in the wrestling industry, will have an opportunity to prove his claims when he clashes with Jim McMillen tomorrow night at the Armory.
The two powerful huskies headline a “big time" wrestling card arranged by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. The program promises to be one of the best of the indoor season. Davis, who scales 230,. has had things his own way in local wrestling circles, but he has yet to meet an opponent who rates as high as McMillen. Jim is touted as one of the five best heavies in the game. He weighs 225. McMillen. who has not been too popular with local mat fans, is almost certain to be the favorite when he and Davis collide. Armory fans "don't like" Davis’ rough and tumble method? and they have been waiting for the time that someone would come along and tame the husky Columbus (O.i grappler. McMillen might be the man. although Davis has demonstrated that he knows his business.

Joe McCarthy Stays, Yankee Boss Asserts Owner Ruppert Answers Ruth: Thinks Babe Will Change Mind. By United Preet NEW YORK. Oct. B.—Babe Ruth’s career with the New York Yankees appeared to be at an end today on the basis of the famous slugger’s own statement made in St. Louis to Joe Williams of the New York World-Telegram. Baseball circles had anticipated that Ruth, his active playing days at an end, would continue with the Yankees in an alternate capacity to capitalize his tremendous box offieft draw. His assertion that he would be a manager or nothing was greeted lightly by Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees. “Sharpen up your pencils and tell your subscribers that Joe McCarthy is manager of the YEtakees.” Ruppert said. “I’m not going to have two managers. Joe did a good job. He put the club in second place and I’m atisfied. On the other hand, how do I know the Babe would make a good manager? Just because a man’s a good ball player is no sign he'd be a good manager. “You know I think that trip Babe’s making to Japan is going to do him a lot of good. A lot of things can happen in the next few months and maybe the Babe will change his mind.” Ruth revealed, in the Joe Williams interview, that he had been offered a three-year contract at a high salary as manager of a National League club, but that Ruppert had refused to give him his release.

As Texas Gave Notre Dame Record Defeat

The powerful Texas university eleven broke a Notre Dame record by beating the Irish footballers at South Bend, 7 to 6.

De Pauw Keeps Record Clean With 7-0 Victory Tiger Eleven Undefeated, Untied and Unscored On in Nine Straight Games; Indiana’s Big Three Have Red Faces. BY DICK MILLER Coach Raymond (Gaumy) Neal maneuvered his De Pauw eleven through its ninth straight shutout victory Saturday, but it was not without a hard battle. Evansville’s purple aces held the unscored-on Tigers to a 7-0 victory.
As for Hoosierdom’s Big Three, they were sporting red faces today. Indiana just wasn’t good enough in her assignment against Ohio State and took a 33 to 0 lacing. Notre Dame lost a close game to Texas university, 7 to 6, at South Bend. With his all-America half back on the bench and with his other ace, Jim Carter, who missed the freshman-va*sity game a week ago on account of a sore foot, getting his first action of the season, Coach Noble Kizer saw his Purdue team go down to defeat, 14 to 0, at the hands of a superior conditioned Rice Institute team of Texas. Duane Purvis, the all-America, suffering from a sprained ankle, was saved for future conference action. Purdue was in touchdown area several times. It was the first time in forty-nine games that the Bailermakers failed to cross the goal line. The game was still a scoreless tie late in the fourth quarter when the Texas eleven uncorked a late scoring drive. Wallace hurled a long pass to McCauley who caught it and twisted to goal. The inexperienced Purdue backs and linemen went panicky and while they were tossing passes deep in their own territory, Craig fumbled in his own end zone and Steen of

B.—President Roosevelt proved himself a baseball expert on a week-end fishing trip in the lower Potomac and Chesapeake bay. Before yesterday's world series game, each of the party wrote their prediction on the outcome of the Sunday world series game. The President was the only one to forecast the correct score, Detroit, 3; St. Louis, 1. On the two-dav cruise the President also caught more fish than any of the others. JOE JUDGE INJURED WASHINGTON.

Rice pounced on the ball for another touchdown. University of Texas’ victory over Notre Dame was a sweet one for Jack Chevigny, former Notre Dame assistant coach, who now directs the Longhorns. Melinkovich fumbled the opening kickoff and Gray recovered for Texas, seventeen yards from goal. Wolfe and Hillard pounded out that distance in four plays, the latter scoring two minutes after play began, Hillard kicked the extra point. Purdue Kick Fails It looked like an Alphonse-Gaston stunt as Michuta recovered a fumbled punt on the Texas nine-yard line. The Irish soon converted it into a touchown, Melinkovich scoring. Millner failed to kick the tieing point and the game ended without another score. Bo McMillin, new mentor at Indiana, and Francis Schmidt, also a new mentor at Ohio State, made their debuts in Big Ten competition at Columbus. Bo lost. McMillin used his five-man backfield, although his starting lineup was orthodox. Fox made some fine returns of punts, Antonini caught some passes and the Indiana forwards tackled better most of the time than the Buckeyes. A 78yard dash early in the game by Boucher put the Ohio team in the lead. Fox’s fumble of a punt on his own five-yard line paved the way for the second Ohio score in the first half. Boucher scored again on an eight-yard dash in the last quarter and Heekin and Dye made touchdown dashes in the last quarter to make the margin of victory 33 to 0, the second worst defeat ever suffered by an Indiana team at the hands of Ohio State. Pass Helps De Pauw In De Pauw’s tussle with the Aces, a pass which Shaffer tossed to Hickman paved the way for the only score. Hickman went to the 1-foot line. Fribley plunged over with the touchdown. Pete Vaughan’s Wabash squad, smarting from a 6-0 defeat at the hands of Hanover the previous week, unleashed a fast running game and deceptive passing to defeat Manchester, 18 to 6. Herman Berns tossed a 26-yard pass to little Bill Snyder in the end zone to start Wabash scoring. In the second quarter Berns made a 15-yard run and tossed passes to Snyder and Johnson, the latter into the end zone, for the second score. Riggs, sub half back, intercepted a Manchester pass and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Buffinberger smashed his way through the line for Manchester’s only goal. Hay Shines Again Hay, quarter back, who sparkled in Hanover’s victory over Wabash, was in top form again Saturday against Earlham and contributed three touchdowns and three extra points. Arnold came through with another marker to make the final score: Hanover, 27; Earlham, 0. Valparaiso stopped the rambling Charlie Bush of Indiana State to defeat the Sycamores, 14 to 7. Bush tossed a 40-yard pass to Pacatte for State's score early in the game Dierker and Smatlak were outstanding for the Uhlans. Terre Haute’s other college team. Rose Poly, won its first victory of the season by defeating St. Joseph college. 14 to 7, at Rensselaer. Rose Poly meets Indiana State in their annual city championship game Saturday.

Heavy Scoring in Grid Loop Games Flyers, Groves, Brightwood and Shelbys Win. Breaking away from the neck and neck contests of last week, the grid squads in the Em-Roe Senior League ended their games Sunday with topheavy scores. The Spades buried the Midway Flyers under a 25-to-0 landslide. Beech Grove looked strong in swamping the Irvington Merchants, 20 to 7. Brightwood and the husky Lawrence A. C.s turned in the tighest score of the day, Brightwood winning, 13 to 0. A large crowd was on hand for the Shelby Service-So-Athics fracas at a Garfield park. It was a flashy battle in the first half. In the final half the So-Athic defense broke down and Cook swept around end for a touchdown on an eighteenyard run. Wyss and Priller of the Shelbys (hen smashed the weakening Athics’ line for two more goals. The final score was 19 to 0, Shelby. Keeley, giant full back for the SoAthics, broke through tackle time and again, but the squad lacked the scoring punch. Trout, center, and Algers, guard, played strong defensive games for the losers.
World Series Gossip —
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Oct. B.—Pickups and putouts from the world series: Goose Goslin says Jo-Jo White’s catch of Pepper Martin’s long drive to left center in the eighth inning of the fifth game was the greatest play he ever saw in world series competition. . . . Goose is playing in his fourth world series, and has been a spectator at several others in the last ten years. . . . Opinion varies as to how far White ran to spear the ball, . . . White says he doesn't know. . . . Goslin says it was seventy-five feet. . . . One St. Louis sports writer says it was between thirty and forty yards. . . . A Detroit scribe says it was 100 feet. . . . Any way it was plenty far, and saved the ball game for the Tigers. 0 tt tt “TT wasn't how far White ran, but x how close he came to the wall just before making the catch,’’ says Goslin. "That’s when they're tough.’’ . . . White was only a couple of steps away from the wall, running full speed, when he made the catch and then veered sharply to his right to avoid a collision. ... If White had missed the ball the Tigers would have had only a one-run lead, and the Cardinals would have had a runner on second or third with two down. 000 White is from Red Oak, Ga., and says he was born right in the middle of a cotton patch. . . . Eldon Auker and Tommy Bridges, who won the fourth and fifth games for the Tigers, are roommates. ... “I Just had to w’in that game yesterday,” says Bridges, “or my roomie wouldn’t have let me have a minutes’ peace next season.” Both are college boys, Auker a graduate of Kansas State and Bridges from the University of Tennessee. 000 BILL DELANCEY'S tirade against Umpire Brick Owens for callin* him out on three straight pitches in the ninth inning yesterday with two men on base probably will cost him S2OO. . . . Delancey called Owens “a robber," according to Mickey Cochrane. . . . When Owens said, “that will cost you $100,” Delancey said: "Why don’t you make it $200” ... “I will,” replied Owens, “and, kid, you had better shut up and go on back to the bench or you won’t have any world series cut left at all.” 000 “QCHOOLBOY” ROWE, picked to pitch today's game for the Tigers, drank a bottle of beer and read the funny papers before retiring at 9:30 o'clock last night... Rowe isn’t worried about the outcome of the sixth game, but he is fretting and fussing about his batting average "I'm sho’ gonna get me some base knocks off those Cardinals,” says Rowe. "I may hit one all the way to El Dorado ’cause they got me mad. Struck out four times. Shucks, I'm really gonna lay into 'em.” Here's Schoolboy Rowe's private opinion of Dizzy Dean without benefit of ghost writer: “He's not the pitcher I thought he was.

By the time the Tigers reached their cabs, the cheers became a mighty roar that could be heard for blocks, even above the vibrant honking of automobile horns. A fleet of taxicabs w 7 as hemmed in by the fans, wno even stood on the running boards to catch a glimpse of their idols. Police pried them off as the Tigers eluded autograph bugs and fans yearning even for a chance to pat one of the players on the shoulder. Howling Jams Everywhere As the cabs crept off, the crowd melted around them, and strung out for blocks. Down Fort and Thud streets, the Tigers and their escorts ran a gantlet of the howling jams. Traffic officers held up motorists on their way to work, as the Tigers and their police escort finally fled off to the privacy of their homes and hotels. Many of the thousands who stood in w’ait for nearly an hour were late for work, but work was the main thing Detroit cared little for today. Confident that the Tigers w r ere going to win the series today the city’s populace prepared to devote its entire attention to the game. Frankie Frisch, manager of the Cards, looked very tired as he stepped from the train. ”1 don’t know yet who’ll start today’s game," he said. “Either Hallahan or Dazzy Vance will go in. I think w’e’ll take today’s game, too.” A nearly cloudless sky and fairly warm weather were in prospect for the sixth series game. A light southwesterly breeze prevailed early today.
