PORTS fans were in their glory today ... what with a mixture of World Series baseball and a galaxy of Big Time college grid games on the afternoon menu... . It's the last week-end for the national pastime and baseball then will step aside until after the grid season before lifting the lid on the hot-stove league. . . . First winter meeting is in December at New Orleans. Hoosier college elevens are in the thick of the campaign early this year and next Saturday will offer more key clashes. . . . Purdue plays an intersectional with Fordham at New York, Indiana goes to Nebraska and Notre Dame will be host to Illinois. On the home grounds DePauw invades for its annual grapple with Butler in the Bowl and it promises to be a closer thriller between a pair of evenly matched rivals. ... Jot it down for a sure-fire grid show. Other Oct. 15 games: Earlham at Wabash, Ball State

ALERT BASEBALL PART OF YANK FORMULA

Jimmy Foxx Again Tops A. L. Batting

Lombardi Captures National Crown; Grove and Lee Lead Pitchers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (U.P) Jimmy Foxx, Boston Red Sox first baseman, staged one of the greatest comebacks of the season to win the American League batting championship for the second time in his cae= reer, according to final unofficial ave erages released today. Foxx beat out Taft Wright, rookie Washington outfielder, by one point with an average of .349, an improvement of 64 points over his last year’s average of. .285, Wright, in his first year up, hit .348 for 100 games. Another rookie outfielder, Jeff Heath of Cleveland, took third place with .340.

the National League's Cubs looked overmatched. The Yankees have now won seven opening games in 10 World Series and only lost three of the series. . . . And, incidentally, the

ENCH managers of champions become excited, too. . . . Joe MecCarthy fell over a step in Chicago and picked himself up all hot and bothered. ... “It's ail because of the candid camera fiends,” he said. “My neck’s sore from making sharp turns to please the amateur photographers.” Milwaukee Brewer officials are trying to break Manager Al Sothoron’'s contract and install a new leader. . . . Sothoron led the team to the A. A. pennant and Little World Series title in 1936, finished fourth in 1937 and third this year... . Which is a pretty fair record in any league.

Terry’s Going to First

Base Just Talk, Belief

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 8—Don’t you dare tell a soul, but—that talk about Bill Terry returning to first base for the Giants next year is so absurd that only a Terry could have started it in circulation. . . . The truth is, the Giants are in such desperate need of a first baseman that other tlubs are taking advantage of the situation and raising the price on their first sackers. . . . And Terry figures that if he spreads the rumor that he is going to do the job for the Giants the other clubs will lower their demands. . .. .

THE JUDGE EXPLAINS

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (U. P.).— Judge K. M. Landis said today he was not taking any “personal” action when he ordered the working press credentials of Rogers Hornsby confiscated at Wrigley Field, Chicago. “There were press credentials distributed te people who were not identified with the press in any way,” Landis added. “I ordered those credentials picked up. It was not an order against Hornsby personally.”

.Crosetti had come over from short

| the San Francisco Italian was there {to pick it up some 15 feet back of the bag. And when Stanley Hack tried to go home on the play Crosetti’'s string-straight peg caught him at the plate. To repeat, it was no accident. Backing up the play at every point of the field is a Yankee fetish. If you watch them in practice you will see this going on all the time. Of course, all teams do this, but few do it better than the Yankees, more consistently, or thoroughly.

McCarthy Considers Wind The Yankee manager doesn't overlook many bets himself, It was no accident that no catchable ball

fell in front of any Yankee outfielder in the wind swept Chicago arena. Joe McCarthy had his outfielders playing only medium deep. He realized the head on wind would slow up any ordinary hit. Tris Speaker always said no fly ball should ever fall safe inside the playing field. This probably is an exaggeration, although very few fly balls ever fell safe in the region of center field when the Gray Eagle was |out there. Speaker could go back lon a fly ball as fast as he could come in on one. | Outfield play is pretty much routine. The defense shifts for right and left-hand hitters, plays deep for some, and close in for others. Atmospheric conditions arz important, too, and are fully considered. A ball wiil travel faster in light air, for instance, than in {heavy air. And a head-on wind will {naturally shorten the flight of a

Frank Demaree gave the Yanks a (fat run in the first game by playing too deep for Dickey. This was in the sixth inning when Dickey’s third hit of the game fell untouched at Demaree’'s feet in left field. Demaree wouldn't have had to move for the ball if there hadn't been a head-on wind. But it so happened there was such a thing and when Demaree came charging in from his deep position he couldn't get there in time toc make the catch and the fly ball |went for a single. Had he given greater consideration to the deaden|ing influence of the wind he would not have been caught out of position. It's little items like this that can turn a tight game upside down. Baseball isn't made up entirely of strike outs, double plays and home runs. Anticipation is an important factor. The alert teams have this. and generally they are winning teams. They are seldom caught fiat (footed by the elements or trickery.

That Cub Collision

In the second game a peculiar play developed. Out of it the Yankees got a two base hit on an infield roller and two runs after two were out. Joe Gordon was the hitter and Dizzy Dean was pitching carefully to him, for the day before the Yankee second baser had got a single and a double. This time Gordon topped the hall and it rolled slowly in the direction of short. Bill Jurges, the Cub’s shortstop, came running in for the ball, and at the same moment Stan Hack, the third baser, came storming over for it too, even though it wasn’t his play. Both players reached the point of pick-up at about the same time, collided hard and went sprawling in the grass. The ball continued to roll slowly toward left field. Meanwhile Joe DiMaggio had scored from second, and Lou Gehrig from first. Scoring from first on an infield roller was Ty Cobb stuff. For Gehrig, who isn’t quite as fast as War Admiral, it was miracle stuff. The fact is, of course, neither man should have scored. And least (of all Gehrig. The Cub outfielders simply didn’t back up the play. They didn’t have the anticipation [that Crosetti showed the day before in somewhat similar circumstances. The collision between Hack and Jurges may have been pardonable, though it was a strange performance by big league infielders, at that; but the failure of the Cub outfielders, Carl Reynolds, in particular, to back up the play and cut off at least one run was just plain bad baseball _.. . w+ _g

Seven Games.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 8 (U. P.).— New York Yankee farm club cham-

when the Kansas City Blues and the Newark Bears meet in Ruppert Stadium. The Blues squared the series at three games each when they de-

feated the Bears 4-2 last night. Marvin Breuer, “clutch” pitcher of Kansas City, held Newark batsmen to nine scattered hits, while the Blues got to three Bear hurlers for 10. Kansas City clinched the game in the fourth inning when three runs crossed the plate. Ralph Boyle got a walk, then Walt Judnich scored him with a double. Joe Gallagher's single and a walk to Jack Saltzgaver filled the bases. Johnny Riddle then lofted a Texas leaguer that brought in Judnich/, and Gallagher. Kemp Wicker, who scored three of the Blue's three playoff victories over St. Paul, will take the mound tonight against Johnny Haley, the Bears’ leading pitcher.
