ington football fans and pitty-pats to Washington co-ed

with John W. Thompson

The Voice of Washington Speaks and Indianapolis Learns That They're Ready for Anything— Even Valley Forge!

WE played center against the Washington High School freshmen yesterday afternoon. They didn’t gain a yard! ; The reason was that they didn’t try. It was just as a favor to Coach Henry Bogue, who was attempting to drill into the greenies’ minds that there would always be some one across the line from them, waiting to knock them flying, | that we even stood up in front of the frosh. He didn’t say 80, but we think we were pretty good—as a dummy center. If Coach Bogue hadn't already sent his varsity to the showers he probably would have been able to give the freshmen a pretty good lesson about the beef that would always be in their way during a football game. .So we had to serve the cause. We're afraid the frosh didn’t get the idea very well. After all, we don’t look like we would ever get in anybody’s way—not to mention a football team’s. » n » : ” ” ” R. BOGUE has some likely looking prospects in his varsity squad. The boys seem to want to play football. Henry agrees with Bo McMillin that football players must have the “heart” before they can make the grade. And when any bunch of boys gets out in the mud back of Washington High School to play in a driving rain and still seem to get as much fun out of it as those boys did yesterday lafternoon, it must be love. - Of course there is always the rather insistent voice of Mr. Bogue, but the boys seem to have a good time obeying orders. "The Bogue voice must be the envy of dozens of athletic advisers. We've heard coaches talk loudly, even yell on occasions. But we'll put Henry's vocal efforts up against any in the country. Before the Butler Relays went high-brow and got a public address system they used to have Henry announce the events without benefit of ‘megaphone. With all deference to the progress of science, we still think folks could

understand Ilenry much better.

ALTHOUGH Washington| lost last year to Cathedral, Shortridge, Southport, Technical and Kirklin, Bogue’s Continentals are out for substantial revenge this season. The squad lost nine lettermen but retained 10, and eight reserves. The biggest blow was felt in the line and Bogue is still having | trouble with guard and tackle posts. In the season's first game Washington swamped the usually strong Bloomington team, 45 to 0. Showing up in the Washington backfield was a red-headed lad named Carter. Now the name of Carter brings fond memories to Wash-

LANDIS POSTPONES SECOND SERIES BATTLE Slugging Lou Subdued by Hubbell

Muddy Field Sets (Classic

Grounds Drenched by Night of Rain; Schumacher and Gomez Due.

BY GEOHGE KIRKSEY United Press litaff Correspondent POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. l.—Ankle-deep mud and big pools of water on the Polo Grotinds today caused B:iseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to order postponement «of the second World Series game be! ween the Giants and the Yankees. The second game will be played tomorrow at fhe Polo Grounds, weather permitting, and the series schedule set back one day, Judge Landis made his decision after a careful inspection of the field from the home plate to the farthest reaches of the outfield. He was accompanied. oni his inspection by Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees, and ‘Travis Jackson, field

captain and third baseman of the;

Giants. Both McCarthy and Jackson agreed with Landis that ‘the diamond was in 10 condition to play any kind of ball game, especially a world’s championship event.

Infield Sloppy

“The field is entirely too wet,” Landis said, “to offer a fair test of baseball. Outficiders simply couldn't run on this wet turf and the infield is so sloppy that fielding a ball would be pure guesswork.” Water stood in many places on the infield and there were yards of mud between second and third and first and second. Landis, in deciding to- call the game off, also took into consideration the fact that it would be dangerous for players to perform on such treacherous footing. Landis found that even the greenswards were half way ankle ceep in mud. The infield, which was left uncovered during last night's rain, because it was already soaked by yesterday's rain, also was heavy,

Smith at Washington. The current Carter is Marion, age 16, brother of the famous Jim. Marion (we think he'd rather be called Red) walks, talks and runs like his big brother. He weighs 144 pounds, is five feet nine inches tall, plays left halfback and is a junior in school. But Coach Bogue is being careful with the youngster and you may not see much of him except in the pinches or

Bohne Paces Pinmen as Lieber Lagers Post 3221

BY BERNARD HARMON

Indianapolis League bowlers today held several records for the current season .as a result of action in its

session last night at the Pritchett Alleys. The pastimers cut loose with an avalanche of striking sprees that eclipsed all early performances. Two teams passed the 3200 mark, two were in the 3100 class, and another passed 3000. Three solo counts over the 700 mark and 26 other individuals with 600 series were re-

' corded. The loop had a floor aver-

age just short of 980. Herman Bohne paced the individuals with a 718 from games of 235,

. 244 and 239, which, combined with

Bob Wuensch’'s 640, Phil Bisesi's 636, Percy Henry's 628, and Jerry O'Grady’s 599, gave Lieber Lager a 3221 total, the top series of the season. The Lagers had games of 1057, 1101 and 1063, winning three games over Indianapolis Power and Light, which had Bill Shine's 605 as its best series. : Trailing the Lieber quintet by two pins, resulting from Eddie Striebeck’s 705, Fonnie Snyder's 644, Larry Fox's 634, Dan Abbott's 621 and Lou Daugherty’s 615, Bowes Seal Fast shut out Coca-Colas. The team had games of 1087, 1137 and 995.

Four Over 600

Barbasol, with four members over the 600 mark, rolled 3121 to avenge a two-to-one defeat last week at the hands of Packard Motors by taking its series the same margin. Don Johnson had 653, Johnny Murphy 640, Lee Carmin 622, and Jess PritThe Packards, led by John Blue's 702, Walt Heckman’s 634 and Chuck Markey's 617 totaled 3086. ‘Clarence Mack paced Falls City . Hi-Brus to a double win over Hudepohl Beer with a 681. Joe Fulton and Charley Cray joined him with 633 and 625 to give the A. B. C. champs a 3101 series. Featuring Don McNew's 646 and Bert Bruder’s 616, the losers closed with an 1106. * With the aid of Paul Stemm's 658, Oscar Behrens’ 650 and Harry Wheeler's 601, Marott Shoe Store won twice over Marmon-Herrington, which had Ray Chrisney's 618 as its top. Biil Brunot’s 658 and Jack ‘Hunt's 63¢ gave L. S. Ayres & Co.

-an odd-game decision over Fender-

ich Restaurant. Neil King's 614 was ‘best for the losers.

Chamber of Commerce Dashes and Junior Chamber of Commerce Dots. In the St. John Evangelical League at Fountain Square, Fred Hohlt topped soloists with 643, with all team series being decided through two-to-one scores. Hare's 638 easily took honors in the Automotive League at the Antlers. Hoosier Casualty was the outstanding team, taking the only shutout of the evening. : Six honor series were turned in by the Uptown Recreation League at the Uptown Alleys, with Rex Dawson setting the pace with 623. Riley had 621, Roberts 616, Morgan 606 and Hale and J. Himmell 605s. Hoosier Pete continued its winning ways, taking three games in last night's gathering. Bader Coffee and Ko-We-Bas also turned in triple wins. At Pennsy Alleys Ted Barrett and Dr. Paul Kernel were leading soloists of the Knights of Columbus League at the Pennsylvania, the former totaling 616 and Kernel, 611. J. E. Kernel Optical and Pittman-Rice Coal took the only shutouts of the evening, In the Indiana Recreation, Printers Baseball Club took undisputed possession of first place, a two-game victory giving it the edge over other teams. Myers was the league’s outstanding soloist, a 615 winning him the honors. Leading the soloists of other loops were Frank Coval with 590 in the Postoffice at the Central; Gauker with 588 in the Mutual Milk at the Fountain.

Outside the Polo Grounds a crowd of 2000 which refused to be daunted by the forbidding weather was waiting when word of the post‘ponement wag passed to thom by police. The skies at postponeméni time were overcast, but the sun broke through occasionally. Barring further rain today, the field should be in good shape for the :ccond game tomorrow. Commenting on yesterday's game, Manager McCarthy, boss of the losing team, said he thought the umpires “handled the whole thing perfectly and that comes from the loser. The game had to be started because it wasn't raining, and once under way there was no time at which play should have been halted.” President to Attend

The postponement means that President Roosevelt will visit the Polo Grounds instead of the Yankee Stadium if there is a game tomorrow, as he planned to attend the Friday game. Encouraged by a 6-to-1 victory in the opening tilt of the dismond classic yesterday, “the Giants will use Hal Schumsacher on the mound tomorrow, hoping he will eniulate Carl Hubbell’s mastery over the Yankee batsmen, Vernon (lefty) Gomez is slated to toe the rubber for the Yankees. Disappointmernts during the season, Gomez and Schumacher played minor roles in the pennant races. Gomez, once rated as the king of American League southpaws, was buffeted from gillar to post during most of the season, but came back in September to show flashes of his once blinding southpaw speed. Gomez's record was 13 won an lost, but many of the game: won he never firniished. But af season’s end he was pitching with the old-time efficiency.

Series Chatter By United Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 1—World

; Series notes:

Most disappointing thing about the first game of the World Series was the attendance. With a sell out thought assured, the rainy weather held the crowd down to 39,419— some 13,000 short of the Polo Grounds’ capacity. The reserved seats and the bleachers were filled, meaning that the 13,000 empty seats Vere worth about $43,000 at $3.30 each.

Break of the Game—Burgess Whitehead’s shoestring catch of Joe Di Maggio’s curving line drive in the eighth inning with a Yankee on first and third. Whitehead’s snap throw to Terry doubled the gent on first—pulling Pitcher Carl Hubbell out of his worst hole of the day.

Hardest Hit Ball—Georgie Selkirk’s home run in the third. It was a line drive straight into the upper deck of the mid-right field stands, and with Hub and Ruffing pitching shutout ball, it looked mighty big until Dick Bartell’s four-bagger in the fifth.

Biggest Disappointment — “Iron Man” Lou Gehrig, leading major league slugger of the year, who didn’t get a hit. He grounded out twice, struck out, then got a base in ihe eighth when hit by a pitched all. 3

Biggest Surprise—Carl. Hubbell’s the batting honors from Ruffing, who was supposed to be the heavy hitting pitcher in this series. Big Red fanned twice and’ grounded out the other time he faced Hub’s screwballs. J

Outstanding Hitter—Jake Powell, Yankee outfielder, who collected a double and two singles in his first three times at bat, and was thrown out at first in his fourth attempt.

Statistics—The first World Series game the Yankees have lost since the final tilt of the 1926 series with the St. Louis Cardinals. Since then they had won 12 straight. It was Carl Hubbell’s third straight World Series win. He defeated the Senators twice in 1933.

Long-legged Carl Hubbell deserved the victory. Allowing only one run during a shower is a real accomplishment. It wasn’t Carl’s kind of a day, because it was cold, and a thin curtain of rain bathed him most of the way. Hubbell has reached an age where his arm needs the hot sun to be at its best.

BREWERS RAINED OUT

BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 1.—The Milwaukee Brewers and the Buffalo Bisons were to resume play in the “Little ‘World Series” here tonight, after the fifth tilt was postponed by rain last night. Milwaukee, with three victories and one loss, needs only one triumph more to clinch the junior baseball title.

Eight Remain in Chase for Women's Title

English Girl and Seven Americans Gain Golf Quarter-Finals.

BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent

SUMMIT, N. J, Oct. 1.—The Na- |g

tional Women's Golf Championship battle seemed to be heading. teday toward the first international final since 1914. Eight players—an English girl and seven Americans—remain in the running for the title relinquished this year by Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare of Philadelphia, six-time champion. The consensus was that the in-vader—19-year-old Pam Barton of London, British champion—will be one of the two to survive today’s quarter-finals and the semi-finals tomorrow.

Has Three Opponents

Pam has three stern foes in the upper bracket of the tournament being held at the Canoe Brook Country Club. Today she faces young Beatrice Barrett of Minneapolis and a semi-finalist last year: If Miss Barton triumphs, she must meet the winner of the match between Marion Miley of Lexington. Ky. and Mrs. Carl H. Donner of Springfield, N. J. If the English girl gains the final round it ‘will be up either to a married veteran or a young Southern star to keep the title here. The last time the trophy left America was in 1913 when Gladys Ravenscroft of England defeated Marion Hollins.

Hill and Crews Meet

In the lower bracket, out of which will come Saturday's other finalist, are Mrs. W. E. Shepherd of Beverly Hills, Cal; Katherine Hemphill, a youngster from Columbia, S. C.; Mrs. Opal S. Hill, Kansas City veteran, and Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., finalist in the 1927 tournament. Mrs. Shepherd and Miss Hemphill meet today and Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Crews clash in 18-hole matches. Mrs. Hill gained her position today with the most startling upset of the tournament. She accounted for young Patty Berg of Minneapolis in yesterday’s third round. Mrs. Crews gained her bracket by defedting another pre-tournament favorite, Dorothy Traung of San Francisco, 1934 runner-up.
