Tony Hinkle, Chicago Boy Who Made Good, Is Wary of Cincinnati; Has Fine Prospects for Third Indiana Conference Title.

FE VER since the days when Jerry Strohl used to clip the grass on old Irwin Field with a hand-powered lawn mower, and Butler beat Wabash on the gridiron with the aid of three placements from Hal Griggs’ golden toe, we've watched the progress of Tony Hinkle. Not that we contemplated a Hinkle biography. But any one who interested himself even vaguely in Butler athletics for the past 15 years could not but note the climb of the Chicago boy whose name stands high among the nation’s basketball expects and whose last two years as athletic director and football coach at Butler have resulted in two Indiana secondary intercollegiate championship teams, Tony loves Butler. You probably couldn’t get him to ~ say so in s0 many words because he doesn’t go in much for sentimentality. But no coach with the reputation and ability of Mr. Hinkle could have stuck to a job like Butler's without ~ some kind of a loyal hankering to see it through. Most every “one will agree that Tony is the man to see it through. No ‘one knows better the heartaches and drudgery that go with

coaching a growing college's football team. s 8 ”

in any current glory. Maybe it’s a lineman who might not be ‘eligible, or maybe it’s a new basketball play for next year’s five, something or other keeps Hinkle busy.

y ” on ” 4 E was busy yesterday morning when we dropped in to see him at the Fieldhouse. But he took time to show us some dope on the University of Cincinnati, whose gridders the Bulldogs play Saturday night. Last week Cincinnati's eleven went down to a 40-to-6 defeat at the hands of West Virginia, but Tony isn’t taking that as any reason to think Butler can do.the same to them. Last year Coach Russell Cohen’s Cincinnati team won seven and lost two. They were runners-up in the Buckeye ‘Conference. And they have 14 lettermen back from last year’s squad. According to scouts, much of the trouble Cincinnati’s opponents are going to run into this year will be in the person of one London Gant, a 200-pound Negro

halfback.

INUS HABY, the Cincinnati quarter back, is back in the lineup after a tough break last season when he received an injury which resulted in paralysis of his arm. After working in Arizona oil fields all summer he is said to be in better shape than ever. : Last year the Buckeye team beat Indiana 7 to 0, scored 241 points to their opponents’ 49. Last year Butler scored ‘229 points to their opponents’ 33. . : Ee The game in Cincinnati will start at 7:30, Indianapolis time.

BY BERNARD HARMON

The Patrick Henry Beer League has moved near the top as one of thé leading scoring aggregations ‘n Jotal tenpin circles. Taking its weekly fling at the maples at the Pritchett Alleys last night, the loop furnished the outstanding scoring eats of the city. ! Ed Tabert's 672 was top individual series over all, Bernie Johnson's 279 was the best single thrust of the evening and the Ale team’s single game of 1090 and its 2950 total outdistanced all team performances. The high scoring came in the AleBottles match, Tabert with his 672 from games of 215, 210 and 230, and Walt Holtman with a 621, boosting the Ales to its big series, and a twogame victory over the Bottles, who had Johnson as its top scorer. His 2790 was the result of 10 consecutive strikes and a spare. : One Pin Hangs " The No. 10 pin refused to fall on Johnson's tenth delivery and halted his perfect score aspirations. His total was 644. The Ales preceded their big finish with games of 931 and 929. The remaining three-game clashes also were decided by odd-game de- . cisions, Half & Half, Office and Warehouse winning over Kegs, Salesmen and Beer. Herman Deupree starred for the Half & Halfs with a 632 as Maurice Collins gave Warehouse a 617. In the Hoosier Athletic Club's ‘session at Pritchett’s, Henry Richardt paced the soloists with a 644, ‘which combined with Freddie Schmitt's 614 gave Indianapolis Office Supply a triple victory over ‘Leo P.Gauss Agency, as well as the ; team series in that league. Closing with a 1019, the winners totaled 2830. Larry Rudbeck led the losing quintet with 603. - 639 by Fancher

. Other games of the loop also alted in shutout victories, Kernel tical and Bowes Seal Fast down-

Kirschner Auto Service and U. S. Tire Service. Ralph Ortman with a 623 total paced the soloists. Feminine pastimes of the city showed improvement in their scoring during last night's league sessions. Julia Lang led all rivals of the Tuesday Night Ladies League at Pritchett’s with a 581, while in the Ladies Social at the Antlers, the individual battle was a three-way affair with Race Johns, Damsel Baxter and Eva Dawson getting 566s. Games of 185, 201 and 195 gained Mrs. Lang her top series. In the Pritchett League, Flanner & Buchanan and Widofl’s won three games each over George O. Desate auls and Dorn’s Grocery, while other contests resulted in odd-game decisions. Marott Shoes and Knit Shop were the triple winners of the Social League, Hatfield Paint and Team No. 7 being the victims, Moxley’s 618, Trennepohl's. 604 and Hagan's 602 were the top series in the Pennsylvania Recreation League. A pair of double centuries gave Shafer a 606 total, the best solo effort of the Rotary League at the Indiana. Carl Kiefer topped all soloists of the U. S. Rubber Co.’s initial session at the Pennsylvania Alleys with 621, and Fassig halted right at 600 to outscore all rivals in the South Side Recreation at Fountain Square. Two beginners’ leagues are scheduled to open at the Fountain Square Alleys this week. Each of the leagues, one rolling on Thursday night and the other on Saturday afternoon, are short one team, and those interested are requested to get in touch with Paul Crosier at Drexel 2150. i

Series Often Decided With

Joe Finds Only Two Teas Hitting Over .300 in Classic.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special "Writer N= YORK, Sept. 30.—1It sc:ms to be generally agreed thu! if the Giants are to defeat the Yankees in the World Series Dheginning today at the historic Polo Grounds, they must do it on piiching. So let's talk ahout pitching. When Rogers Horiisby took over the Cardinals to . make his debut as a big leazue manager he said, “You can’ win bali games witho ut pitching.” There was nothing. startling" or orizinal in that observation. But conriing from one : of the great hit#5 ters of all time it ”" was impressive and convincing. The records show that only twice in the long history of the World Series has a team hit over 300. The Athletics hi% 317 in five games, in beating the Cubs in 1910; the Yankees hit .313 in four games in beating the Cubs in 1932. From these peak figures the trend drops to the all-time low of .162 by the Athletics in 1905. They lost the series to the Giants. This was the series that produced shutouts in every game played, a total of five.

HAT was the greatest game ever pitched in the World Series? Based on the number of hits allowed, big Ed Reulbach pitched the greatest game. He turned in a one-hitter for the Cubs

.against the White Sox in 1906.

There have been several two-hitters but Reulbach’s still stands as the only one-hitter in the records. And no one, if it is necessary to add, has ever pitched a no-hitter. The closest approach to a nohitter I ever saw was performed by Herb Pennock against the Pirates in 1927. The Squire of Kenneth Square, Pa., had a no-hitter going into the eighth inning when Pie Traynor broke the spell with a single and scored on a two-bazger by the husky Barnhart. From the standpoint of mechanical mastery it was as fine a performance as I

ever saw in the box.

” 2 8 : " A ND yet this almost perfect ¢em- . onstration of pitching did not impress me quite so miich as ancther game I saw Pennock pitch. Ag:inst the Pirates the skinny soutiinaw had everything, control, speed, savvy and tactics. The wonder was that the Pirates touched him ai all. On this other occasion he had piactically nothing, save courage and control. This was in the deciding game of the 1923 series between the

Yankees and the Giants.

The frail Pennock was pretty well spent physically when Miller Huggins sent him to the nox in the :ixth game; he had been worked twice in three days. Huggins was despci ate. Pennock was his only hope. is I have said, he had nothing, nothing but courage and control. The Giants hit him lustily. They combed his delivery for 10 safeties including a triple and a homer, yet they rould scor:> only four runs, and that wasn’t enough to win, In trouble in practically every inning, with runners always in scoring positions, Pennock stood out thers in the middle of the diamond, u:ing his matchless control; feeding ‘the Giants bad balls, making them hit what they didn’t want to hit, never faltering, and in the ¢nd he was the hero of the day and the series. He parlayed a, dime’s worth of stuff that afternoon into -a million dollar triumph. ; o 2 ed NOTHER unforgettable pitching performance I saw ‘was turned in by Howard Ehmke. ‘That was the afternoon he struck oul 13 Cubs for the Athlefics, a record which still stands. ¥¢ had men like Hornsby and Hack Wilson missing the ball by a foot. ‘In some respects this was probably the most dramutic pitching exhibition in the history of the series. It was exiraordinary “ecause Ehmke wasn’t even expected to be in the series. A month before Connie Mack had literally driven him off the squad. = » i» GOT the story about Ehmke and Mack from Eddie (Jollins who was on the club at the time. Collins said that all the time Mack was

“You see Ehmke wii a moody fel-

low,” related Colins, “He took @ lot |: {of handling and hlack knew the!2_

best way to handle him was to insult his pride. ~ “Mack’s strategy gvorked perfectly. Ehmke stayed at home, got in

| shape, recaptured his determin-

tion and just before the series started—in fact, ori the very ay the series opened—h¢ came to Mack and said, ‘T’'m ready to pitch’ And Mack smiled, ‘That's fine, How: td,
