By Eddie Ash SirS. JT Roosevelt Dollar’ Is Sound in Baseball k -w mam Series Pastirmrs Still Nurse Bruises

nr HE world senes of 1934 brought back all of the oldfashioned baseball that the old-timers boast about and marked anew era in the annual classic from the standpoint of “an eye for an eye.” Asa matter of fact, one report stated that in the opinion of the umpires practically all members of both teams were guilty of over stepping diamond deportment one or more times. On top of this, one umpire also drew a fine from Judge Landis, but in this case the incident occurred off the ball field. It happened in a hotel lobby during an argument between Umpire Bill Klem and outfielder Goose Goslin of the Tigers. Harsh words were exchanged. At any rate, the big championship games indicated that the ball players think right well of the Roosevelt dollar.” They were ready to die for it, and some of the athlete- will be nursing bruises for weeks. The difference between the winners' and losers' share of the spoils was great inough to represent a lot of groceries, clothes and fuel over winter, and the boys cut loose in a manner that made It a ‘sudden death” classic. After tacking SSO fines on umpire Klem and catcher Bill De Lancey ©f the Cardinals, Judge Landis remarked: More complaints were received than in any other previous series within my memory- It was no rose water series, but it was a great one. The fines were imposed as a lesson that loud, over-ripe words w’on't be tolerated in baseball.” a a a a a a ITS never too late to join the “93% Wrong Club," and with the baseball season out of the way sports followers are offered free membership in an organization that will carry on throughout the football season. It's true that the grid campaign opened a couple of weeks ago, but most of the pigskin exports were pretty well occupied in reading, watching and listening to the hot finish of the National League race and world series to sharpen up on football prognostications, which is as good an alibi as any for missing a chance to go astray on the several starting collegiate upsets of last Saturday. a a a a a a PERFECT PICKER PETE and Perfect Picker Patricia delayed their “coming out" this year, but have been persuaded to get busy, even though it is late in another week of snappy gridiron games. Pete is the king of the 98% Wrong Club” and Patricia is his queen. The idea Is to oust them from office. We don’t want dictatorship in this country! Therefore, grid fans are invited to fill out the blank carried in this column, mark down the scores of the sixteen games and mail to Perfect Ticker Pete at The Times. Any Pete who forcasts ’em right will pitch the mythical Pete out of his job as the chief of the “98% Wrong Club,” and the Patricia who succeeds in calling the turn will be elevated to queen of the pickers. No fees, no prizes, all in fun Answers must be postmarked not later than Saturday noon, Oct. 13. a a a a a a THE “charter list” of games to be forecast represents several sections of the nation. Many headaches are among them. Anyway, here is a chance to show you know’ your football. The Perfect Picker Petes and the Perfect Picker Patricias scoring “best averages" will be introduced through thus column next week.

I shook hands with Shirley Temple last night and fear I may have to go to the hospital” m The Detroit Tigers won’t have any difficulty filling out the four letter word spaces in cross word puzzles during the off season. - a a a ana NOW that the world series is over Coach Harry Kipke of the University of Michigan football team Is confident his players will come back to earth and keep their minds on the grid sport. Their beloved Detroit Tigers are off the air. The Wolverines were given a surprise licking by Michigan State last week. Mickey Cochrane says he plans to pay a visit to Ann Arbor and have a little cry with Kipke. aaa a a a Some fans thought that when Manager Cochrane had used six pitchers in the closing tilt of the autumnal classic that he had run out his string. Tain’t so. Carl Fischer, Luke Hamlin and Vic Sorrell were on the premises, moaning low. aaa a a a DIZZY DEAN has his fun even with umpires. In the fifth inning Tuesday Dizzy swung at three fast pitches. He didn't see any of them. Catcher Cochrane dropped the ball after Dean fanned and Dean picked it up. Umpire Harry Geisel held out his hand for the ball and Dizzv handed him the bat. Geisel threw down the bat and demanded the ball, which he obtained, after Dizzy had had a laugh. Vaudeville or baseball? ana nan ONE football scribe remarked that perhaps Purdue lost to Rice to fool Notre Dame, and Notre Dame lost to Texas to fool Purdue. Now it looks like a bigger battle than ever at South Bend Saturday. However, the loser will be placed in a tough spot.

BIG TEN GRIDDERS SET TO ‘SHOOT WORKS’

N. D. Purdue to Renew Old Grid Argument Boilermakers Place Hopes on Purvis; Irish Coach Shifts Lineup. By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Oct. 11.— One of the Hoosier state’s most j outstanding football feuds will be renewed Saturday with the sixteenth meeting between Notre Dame and Purdue at South Bend. The contest is the major attraction on the Hoosier football schedule this week-end. The game lost much of its national prestige, however, when both teams lost their opening games. Purdue Victor Last Year The Boilermakers succumbed to a last-quarter attack by Rice and were defeated, 14 to- 0, in their opener, while Texas nosed out Notre Dame, 7 to 6. Purdue broke a string of losses to Notre Dame in the series last year with a 19-to-0 victory. Previous meetings had resulted in nine victories for the Irish, three for Purdue, and two ties. Both teams use the Rockne system, as taught by two members of the 1924 national championship football team coached by the late Knute Rockne. Coach Noble Kizer, watch-charm guard of the “Seven Mules,” directs the Purdue squad. Elmer Layden, triple-threat full back of Notre Dame’s greatest back field, is coaching the Irish. Carter, Skoronski to Play Purdue hopes to have Purvis, allAmerica half back, in the lineup Saturday. He was forced to the sidelines last week-end with an injured ankle. Carter, half back, and Skoronski, center, are the only other members of last year’s team which faced Notre Dame who again are available. Coach Elmer Layden has effected several shifts to strengthen the Irish. Robinson at center instead of Solari, Smith’s replacement of Schrenker at guard, and Elser at half back in place of Carideo are probable changes. PLAN H. S. HARDWOOD MEET AT VINCENNES By Times Special VINCENNES, Ind., Oct. 11.—A two-day basketball tourney with sixteen southern Indiana high school teams competing will be held here Dec. 31 and Jan. l, according to plans announced by John L. Adams, Vincennes athletics director. It will be called the Old Post tournament, and the sixteen teams invited will be chosen according to their records and geographical locations.

'Give Me Dashing Team Like Cards/ Says Ruth Bam Praises Martin and Medwick; Says Baseball Needs Players Who Put Everything Into It.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writar NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—We are all sitting in u drawing room coming back from the world series. It is a little after midnight. The train is just about to cross the Canadian border. Here a ceremony is performed that is new to first-time tourists out that w’ay. A Canadian officer enters the train to “break the seal.” You want to know what that means? It means that you can now buy a drink. The train is leaving Canada, entering America, and so now’ there are no re-

strictions on social liberty. We are still sitting in a drawing room. Numbered among those who are thus sitting is Mr. Babe Ruth, who lias just recently announced his retirement from the Yankees, and, unless he gets a manager's job, from baseball. Mr. Ruth is sitting there in his pajamas—flannel they are—and in the shirt pocket there are six cigars, a handkerchief and a comb. You can understand the presence of the cigars and the handkerchief, but why the comb? Presently you can understand the why of this also. Mr. Ruth has a nervous mannerism. He combs his hair a lot while talking. Obviously he is prepared to do a lot of talking. It may even be that he talks in his sleep. You agree this latter possibility would explain everything. The drawing room is filled with blue clouds of smoke that form an eerie sort of funnel around the whirring blades of the electric fan. A tan-faced porter in a white jacket is snapping tin-ruffled bonnets off heads of bottles. There is a lot of talk about the “breaking of the seal” and screwy' laws, and such. a a a PRETTY soon a baseball writer asks Mr. Ruth what he thought of the world series which had just come to a close, with the Cards beating the Tigers four to three in a seven-game series. ' “They deserved to win,” boomed the lusty Mr. Ruth. “I'm an American leaguer at heart because I started out in the league and I spent twenty-one years in it, but I want to say the Cards showed me at least two ball players who are my kind of ball players, that guy Martin and that guy Medwick.” Mr. Ruth went on to explain that that guy Martin and that guy Medwick played the game up to the hilt, they asked no quarter and gave no dimes, they took their chances on the bases, in the field and at the bat; in effect, they said to the other side- “Come on, let’s see how good you are.” “That's baseball,’* said Mr. Ruth. "Put everything you’ve got into every play and if it happens that you send somebody bouncing on his ear, well that's just too bad. And if you are inclined to be screamish, don’t overlook the fact that the other guy isn’t crippled. There is no law against him bouncing you cm your ear when his chance comes.**

Bob Friberg, De Pauw’ Half Back DE PAUW university football warriors made the outstanding collegiate grid record in the country last year when they went undefeated, unscored upon and untied in a seven game season. Two mainstays of that mighty eleven were Bob Fribley, half back, and Earl Pierce, full back. These two stalw’arts are back with the 1934 eleven that has extended the record w'ith a 33-0 win over Oakland City and a 7-0 conquest of Evansville college. Fribley, a Ft. Wajuie lad, towers 6 feet 2 inches, and is a letterman, a senior, and a capable runner and passer. He weighs 200. u tt a PIERCE, scaling 169, is a great line plunger, and coach Neal considers him the best full back in the state. Earl hails from Kenosha, Wis., and stands 5 feet 8. Saturday the Tiger team w’ill be the homecoming attraction at Ball State Teachers college at Muncie. State has displayed power at times and is eager to be the first team to check the De Pauw winning streak. However, Fribley, Pierce and other Tigers are keyed to extend the victory march.

MR. RUTH proceeded to explain further that drive and spirit and power never hurt any sport. “I wouldn’t have a ball player on my team.” he said (still dreaming of the day when and if he may manage a big league ball club) ‘‘who took the easy way out on any kind of a play. I can't go for these guys who bump into a player and immediately exclaim, *Oh. goodness gracious me, I am so terribly, terribly sorry.’ ” The implication here is plain enough, though Mr. Ruth was careful not to put it in w-ords, possibly on the knowledge that his advisers would compel him to issue a statement in denial saying that the very same thing in different phraseology. What Mr. Ruth was saying was that the National Leaguers play more spirited baseball than the Anerican Leaguers. I don't think that is generally true, but it certainly was true of the world series. The fact is there is a lot of sour puss, heavy-hipped baseball in both leagues. On too many teams there are players who seem to think they are doing the customers a favor by merely appearing at the park. The fire and dash of the Cards was so unusual and extraordinary as to be completely astonishing. Not only Martin and Medwick but practically everybody on the team played as if they were hopped up about the series, the sport and the esteem of the customers. They gave you the impression that they were having a perfectly grand time humiliating their opposition. If you can possibly think of another reason besides the Deaus why they won, this was it.

Nine Teams Have Struggles Carded for Saturday With Two to Be Intersectional Indiana University and Northwestern Travel for Games; Crimson Meets Temple and Wildcats Clash With Stanford: Chicago Gets Chance at Michigan. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY t'nitrd Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Big Tea football Saturday will be set to the .empo of “shoot the works.” With four conference teams—Michigan, Northwestern, Purdue and Indiana—already tumbled to defeat, and two others Illinois and Wisconsin—frightened in close battles, virtually every team will have to wheel its heaviest artillery into action Saturday.

The lone exception is Wisconsin, i which catches its last “breather” against South Dakota State at Madison. Minnesota has an open date, but the rest of the Big Ten teams will have to cut loose with all their stuff to stay in last football company. Grange to Be Honored The two conference games bring together Ohio State and Illinois at Champaign, and Chicago and Michigan at Stagg field. Illinois will honor its greatest football player, Red Grange, at the Ohio State home-coming game, which is expected to draw a crowd of 40.000. The victor of the Illinois-Ohio State game will be one of the favorites in the Big Ten title race. Ohio State, under its new’ coach, Francis Schmidt from Texas Christian, ripped Indiana apart last week, 33-0. Illinois had to stage an eighty-five-yard drive in the final period to defeat Washington U. at St. Louis, but there is a suspicion that Bob Zuppke was playing possum. Both Harry Kipke, Michigan coach, and Clark Shaughnessy, Chicago mentor, contend their teams haven’t a chance for victory when they meet, but the battle may prove one of the most exciting of the day. lowa Plays Nebraska Two conference teams play intersectional games on opposite sides of the continent, Northwestern meeting Stanford at Palo Alto and Indiana opposing Temple at Philadelphia. The Big Ten will be lucky to get an even break in these two battles. Notre Dame and -Purdue, both beaten by Texas teams in their opening games, each will attempt to redeem last w’eek’s defeat. Purdue will be slightly favored if Duane Purvis, all-America half back, is ready to play. low’a, conqueror of Nothwestern last w’eek, will attempt to duplicate Minnesota’s 20-0 triumph over Nebraska. The Hawkeyes’ 20-7 victory over Northwestern established them as one of the most dangerous teams in the Big Ten.
