By RICHARD M’CANN NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Ever since that blubbery, baby-faced fellow on spindly shanks named Babe Ruth started bashing baseballs against the cornices of distant buildings, folks haven't paid much heed to the

New York Yankee pitchers. You always seemed were just so many poo being supported by their more affluent brethren, the sluggers. And, so, just from habit, a fellow trying to analyze the forthcoming World Series is liable to say it'll be a question of American League power over National League pitching. But a gander at the records this season—particularly in the last half of the campaigning—shows that the Yankee hurlers pitched right in and did more than their share to meet the upkeep at Yankee Stadium. Pitching, unquestionably, has saved the misfiring Ruppert Rifles in the last two months during which the Yanks dropped to fourth among the

to start at the same drives tonight.

The Rotarians actually started ®

their pin activity in 1917 when a team was formed to represent Indianapolis in the International Rotary telegraphic tournament. And the-local team won the event with a total of 2832 pins. A series of matches with other cities—including Chicago, Which boasted a league of its own—led ‘to

the organization of a Rotary League |

here in September 1919.

Six teams made up the loop, which rolled at the Capitol Alleys, 115 West Market St. Fourteen bowlers from this original circuit still take part in the weekly matches. M. E. Clark, now vice president of the league, was captain of the Bee Vee Dees, which ' were in third place at the end of that initial season.

Ringers Won in 1920

In 1920, the loop was increased to 12 teams and the championship was taken by the- Ringers, captained by Charles B. Dyer. Thirty-four of the pinmen who competed in this league remain as members. The circuit wigs divided in 1921, with 10 teams¥in the No. 1 group

and six in -No. 2. There were 20-

teams in 1924 because that many alleys were available at the Delaware plant. There still were two divisions, 10 teams in each. The divided league was abandoned in 1929 when 16 teams bid for hon-

ors. The present size of 18 teams was inaugurated last year. A total of 109 prizes have been contributed by club members : for the league this season. Clarence J. Hill is president; Dr. Clark, vice president; Everett E. Allison, secretary, and Edward A. Gardner, treasurer. '

State Tourney Set

Indianapolis will be. host late in February. to the state Rotary tournament which will be held in connection with the annual district conference here. The state tourney is being staged for the first time since it was held here in 1932. The event will be for the visiting Rotarians only, regulations barring hometown bowlers. The Kiwanians started with an eight-team affair in 1920. Veterans

recall that only one “experienced”

bowler turned out for the league. He left town after two weeks, leaving the field to the novices. L. 8S. Fall, one of the 17 original members still in Kiwanis competition, was the first league president. Another charter: member ‘was Robert Bryson, also still active. Bryson was president of the American Bowling Congress in 1903 and was credited with saving the A. B. C. tournament from oblivion. It happened that the first A. B. C.

Gomez Ranked af Top

Of course, at no time this season have the Yankees possessed the ablebodied manpower on the mound that a pennant-winning team should possess. But what they have lacked in quantity they have made up in quality. Senor Vernon (Lefty) Gomez, The Goofey, is the best pitcher in baseball at this time. And his playmate out there on the sand dune, Sir Charles Ruffing, The Red, is one of the best. And, strangely, these are two gentlemen the Yankees were expecting to get along without this season. Gomez, you know, was be-

lieved washed-up a year ago last.

spring, distrusted by the management and trailed by detectives last summer, and forced to accept what he called “a bat-boy’s contract” this spring . . . “We've gotten along without you for two years, we can do it again. So do as you like about coming to terms,” Col. Jacob Ruppert declared.

Colonel Makes Amends

And, of course, you remember how the Colonel told Ruffing to take it or leave it and how poor old Red missed all the fun down South and several weeks, pay checks until he finally bowed down and surrendered unconditionally. : Incidentally, Colonel Ruppert has already written out and signed a check for $1500 to present to Ruffing to make up for those lost pay checks. It’s an appreciation for Red’s cheerful, tireless work and refusal to hold a grudge. > Manager Joe McCarthy undoubtedly will give Senor Gomez the starting assignment on Oct. 6 when the series opens in Yankee Stadium.

The Senor has been positively

sensational this year, staging the biggest comeback since old Bill Perkins from up Muddy Valley way won the hog-calling contest back home after two years of laryngitis. Gomez is the Gomez of ’31, and 32, and ‘34. Gone is the scattery, putty-pitching Gomez of ‘35 and 36. The slim lefthander this year was the first American Leaguer to win 20 games, is leading the league in shutouts with six (three of them in four games), and tops all pitchers in strikeouts with nigh onto 200. Ruffing, without doubt, will be Manager McCarthy’s choice for the

In its two games this season Marion has defeated Kokomo, 6-0, and tied Wiley of Terre Haute, 6-6.
