BUTLER’S LINE COMES THROUGH

JUST as many football in-the-know boys suspected, Ohio State concealed its true strength before the season opened, purposely refrained from ballyhoo and warbled the blues about “lack of reserve strength.” . .. Then the Bucks defeated both Texas Christian and Purdue in stride and without expending too much effort. . .. Purdue was the victim Saturday, 13-0, and the Boilermakers seldom had a chance. . . . Purdue’s forte is the aerial game and Ohio - State was prepared for it. . . . The Bucks intercepted six Purdue passes and converted two of them into drives that resulted in touchdowns. . . . The winners outgained the losers almost three to one and the victory was decisive. Purdue made a couple of gallant goal line stands, but in the end the Hoosiers were “winded” by the strain of holding their opponents scoreless in the first half. ” ” » . » ” 2 OHI STATE apparently is protected in all positions with capable stand-ins. . . . Purdue faces the problem of building a running attack for a change of pace from the passing game and Coach Elward believes success will come later in the season when the sophomore players start clicking with the veterans. . ..

Odds Shorten Against Yanks In First Tilt

McCarthy Likely to Desig-|-

nate Lefty Gomez to. Oppose Giants’ Star.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Corrrespondent NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Carl Hubbell has been named officially to start for the Giants and the price shortened today on the Yankees winning the opening game of the World Series at Yankee Stadium Wednesday. . Bill Terry, Giants’ manager, picked Hubbell and ended rumors that Cliff Melton, the sensational rookie southpaw who won 20 games, might draw the first game assignment. ; After Terry's announcement, Jack Doyle, Broadway pricemaker, readjusted his odds and made the price 7-10 against the Yankees and 11-10

‘| against the Giants for the opener.

He previously had quoted 1-2 against the Yanks and 7-5 against the Giants. Manager Joe McCarthy will name his starting pitcher today. He will pick between Lefty Gomez, who won 21 games, and Red Ruffing, hefty right-hander who scored 20 victories. Gomez, who beat the Giants twice last fall, is favored to get the assignment over Ruffing, who lost once to the Giants and failed to finish the other game. Every box seat has been sold for the first six games, club officials announced. The Yanks have sold their supply of 4748 at $6.60 each for the first, second and sixth games which will be played at Yankee Stadium. The Giants’ supply of about 5000 boxes have been disposed of for the third, fourth and fifth games to be played at the Polo Grounds.

Crowd May Set Record

Indications are that if the weather is favorable for the opening game, there will be a new World Series attendance record for one game. Seating capacity of Yankee Stadium for World Series games is 71,303. The largest crowd ever to see a World Series game was 66,669 at the fourth game last year. Hubbell has opened two previous World Series, pitching the Giants to victory over Washington in 1933 and beating the Yanks in last year’s rain-swept opener, 6-1. The Yanks beat Hubbell in the fourth game, 5-2. - In 16 innings against the Yanks, he has allowed 15 hits and 5 runs. Terry is expected to follow up with Melton in the second game and Hal Schumacher, who was knocked out of the box by the Yanks in the second game last year but won the fifth game, in the third game.

Jake Powell May Not Play

McCarthy's pitching assignments are likely to call for Gomez in the opener, Red Ruffing in ‘the second game, and Monte Pearson in the third game. - With Hubbell pitching the first game, - Myril Hoag will play left field for the Yankees and George Selkirk right field. When a righthander works for the Giants, Tommy Henrich, 'a left-handed hitter, . will replace Hoag. The Giants also will make one shift against southpaw pitching, with Hank Leiber or Wally Berger playing center field when Gomez pitches. When the Yanks have a right-hander on the mound Lou Chiozza will patrol center field. Jake Powell, hero of last year’s series when he hit 455, may not play in the series because of sinus trouble.

Birds and Bears . To Resume Play

COLUMBUS, O, Oct. 4 (U.P). — Atlee Donald, winner of 19 games for the Newark Bears during the regular campaign, was the nominee to keep alive the International League's representatives hopes for the “Little Worlds Series” championship in the fifth game of the series here tonight. Donald was to be opposed by John Chambers, winner of the opening game of the series. The fifth game, originally scheduled yesterday, was postponed because of rain. Joe Beggs, lanky right-hander who hurled Newark to its first vietory Saturday night, has been fined $25 by the series commission for objecting too strenuously to a decision made by Umpire Ray Van Graflan, it was announced today.

When .the World Series opens

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 4—The other afternoon at the Advertising Club someone asked Babe Ruth if he through Rudy York or anybody else

would ever break his home run record—60 in a season. York is the converted Detroit catcher who became something of a ‘slugging sensation this season when he made more home runs in a single month than Ruth ever did over a corresponding stretch of time. Ruth - said he never expected to see his record beaten . . . “And I'll tell you why. To hit 60 home 8 BN runs a season you Williams must average approximately two to every five games. That isn't impossible to do if you can keep out of slumps.” But according to Ruth slumpsare inevitable. All players suffer from their stifling effects. - In 1927, the years he made his record-breaking 60, he didn’t have a really serious slump. . . . “To that extent I was lucky. I wasn't hitting the ball any better. I was just hitting it with greater consistency.” With | particular reference to oYrk, the point Ruth seemed to be making was that too much significance shouldn't be placed on the Tiger catcher’s one-month record. The time was too short for a slump to catch up with him. York was on a hitting spree and sometimes hitting sprees last for two or’ three months. But never for a full season. 2 » 2

Those Brave Guys Who Manage Fighters

Barney Ross is in town for the World Series, plainly disappointed the Cubs didn’t grab the brass ring. The welterweight champion has his left hand in a cast. He broke it in the second round of his recent fight with Ceferino Garcia at the Polo Grounds. “When I came back to my corner I turned to Sam Pian, one of managers, and said, ‘I think the hand is gone,’ ” Ross said. - And Sam shouted: “You think it’s gone! This is a hell of a time to be thinking about that.. Go out there and belt that guy’s brains out. This is another illustration of the flaming courage of prize-fight managers whose heroic credo is “they can’t hurt us.” ; I thought Ross showed himself to be a great little fighter in winning from Garcia. In view of the fact that he fought from the second round on with a broken hand against one of the hardest punchers in the division, his performance, in retrospect, takes on added luster. Courage .and skill are qualities to

be admired in anybody. They are elementally important in a prize fighter. Ross turned back Garcia with these two assets. There were times when he was in severe distress—and it was at such times he showed himself to be a great fighter. When he was in trouble and visibly hurt, he came back throwing leather with all the power and fury at his command, and more than once he made Garcia, who just a moment before had seemed to have him cornered, break ground. That's how you like to see your champions perform. _ » Why Barney Ross Is a Great Champ Looking at Ross you realized precisely what keeps Joe Louis from being a great champion. He doesn’t fight back when he is hurt. similar circumstances Louis probably would have been knocked out. He deesn't like to get hit and when he is hit he won’t fight back. THe Negro seems to lack the animal instinct—which after all is just a normal instinct—to strike back when struck. He was at his best against Temmy Farr when he resorted to the jab. In fact, it was the jab that won for him. The jab is an effective weapon; it keeps the opponent off balance and it polls up points.

in their fists, go in for the dipsydo stuff it is hard to restrain a yawn.

Incidentally, I seem to remember that Louis claimed—or one of his managers claimed—he hurt his hand in the fourth round against Farr. This was presented as an explanation for his mediocre showing. If the hand was hurt it must have been unimportant. Louis immediately went on tour with a softball team, played first base and took his regular turn at bat. A heavyweight champion doesn't run the risk of aggtavating any kind of hand injury by swinging a bat. I think it can be said in all fairness that Louis did the best he could against Farr, that it wasn’t very much, and that the hurt hand was just an alibi, which lacked even the thin merit of originality.

War Admiral Vs. Twenty Grand

Charley Kurtsinger is a little bright-eyed fellow who won't weigh more than 105 pounds even with a heavy grouch on. He is the jockey who rode War Admiral to victory in the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont this year. He is, literally speaking, a natural born jockey; he was born amid the fragrant odors of the barns at old Churchill. Downs in Kentucky. Was the Admiral the greatest horse he ever rode? . . . “That’s hard to say. It's like comparing
