OTTO MILLER, better known in Indianapolis as Dutch, still is somewhat of a baseball landmark around Brooklyn, according to Tom Meany, New York PM sports writer. : . Miller learned the game’s fundamentals on Indianapolis sandlots and at Manual Training High School before he took off to the leagues and became one of the Na-

tional loop’s leading receivers for many years. -Miller also played football at Manual, where he used his buik to great advantage in the line. | Meany dashed off a “piece” recently after attending a party ot

. old Dodgers in Brooklyn and said, in part: “Some of the boys were . Sitting around the Behan-McLaughlin saloon cutting up.old touches.

“Otto Miller, who caught for Brooklyn, man and boy, for so long everybody thought he was part of the franchise, is manager there, which explains the gathering. : \ Zach Wheat was there and Arthur Dede, a bullpen catcher for the Dodgers years ago. So was Eddie Murphy of the New York Sun, who is filling his 23d year of covering the Dodgers; Harry Schumacher of the Journal-American. and Clint Hoard, an exbaseball ‘writer. “In such a gathering, there could be only one topic—Robbie. To an old Dodger, all Brooklyn® baseball stories start and stop with Robbie. The cast of characters may vary all the way from Mike Mowery to Chick Fewster, but Robbie always plays the lead. |

Turned Castoff Pitchers Into Stars

I ZACH WHEAT, outfielder, and Dutch Miller were Dodgers before Robinson transferred from the New York Giants, under John McGraw, to the Brooklyn club. . . . He was an old catcher and took charge at Brooklyn in 1915, winning two pennants, 1916 and 1920, and losing both World Series starts, to the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland. : “He tried to be like McGraw at the start,” said Miller to Meany. “You know, discipline, rules and all that stuff. It took Robbie nearly a year to be himself and then he was swell. “Robbie really had a way with old pitchers. e took many a castoff and made them stars for the Dodgers—Ruelhach, Marquard, Coombs, Douglas, Cheney, Schupp, Doak—a lot more.

“ROBBIE would give them the old pat on the back, tell em they were as good as they ever were—darned if they wouldnt believe him, At least they'd go out and pitch for him better than they had pitched for anybody else for ten years. 1 know, because I used to catch ’em.” “And Robbie's theory on big pitchers was right, too,” supplemented Wheat. “Remember how everybody used to kid Robbie because he insisted on big pitchers? Well, every good team they ever had in Brooklyn had a lot of tall, rangy pitchers.

Used Same “Sign” For Many Years

“ROBBIE said a big pitcher could scare batters just by lboking at 'em. A little pitcher gave the batters confidence. ‘Who the hell Would be afraid to bat against a midget?’ Robbie used to say. “The only objection I ever had to Robbie's managing was he gave me the same sign for almost 15 years. He used to wave his hand down for a bunt, jerk his thumb toward ‘the outfield for a ne, And everytime I came up, Robbie’'d jerk his thumb toward the nce. : » 2 x = Ts 8 on

“I WANTED a change, so one day we had a man on first and I went over to Robbie and told him I was going to hit and run. ‘Suit yourself, Buck,’ was all he said. So I put on the hit-and-run, a flick of my right hand against’ the uniform. That was the only hit-and-run sign I ever had. Never changed it in the 18 years I was with the Dodgers. e first pitch was inside .and a little high, but I was able to get some wood on it. Enough, in fact, to hit it to Bedford Ave. As I trotted back after the homer I winked at Robbies ” Yer oughta've hit behind him, Buck’ said Robbie. ‘I did, Robbie,” T said, ‘Just happened to get it a little high, though.’ Robbie laughed for a week.” :

When Grimes Took It Out on Cubs

WHEAT was telling about the 1924 finish, when the Dodgers almost caught the Giants at the wire. After winning 15 straight, Dazzy Vance was beaten by the Cubs in ten innings in a game in which he allowed three hits, all of which happened to be homers. Burleigh Grimes was to face Chicago next day, but Robbie and Grimes weren't speaking then and Wheat had to act @s intermediary, “Grimes said he'd pitch all right, if everybody would be behind him,” said Buck. “I wasn’t sure what he meant, but I told him everybody on the club was with him. “As soon as the game started, I found out what Burleigh meant. He was pitching for blood and he didn’t care whose blood it was, either. ; 2 ” ” LA ” s

“WE WERE PLAYING af Ebbets Field and naturally the Cubs were up first. Their lead-off hitter was a kid outfielder. who had just got off a train from Wichita’that morning. Art Weiss was his name. He'd never seen Grimes, or even the Cubs before. “Powie! Burleigh’s first pitch took his cap right off. on, right down the line. Grimes even dusted off the Cubs’ pitcher, Grover Alexander. In turn, Alex dusted me off, first and last time anybody ever threw at me in the big leagues. : “As you can imagine, the Cubs were a little foot-loose at bat all afterr@on. Burleigh won that one, 2-1. Robbie called it ‘heady pitching.’ It was—in more ways than one.” v

Colonals 1.Up On Blues

By UNITED PRESS

The Louisville Colonels had a first-round decision on their side to-

to determine which of the two American Association teams will meet the International League representative in the Little World. Series. Louisville won the first game of the finals last night, 9 to 8, in 10 innings before 1500 shivering spectators. Socking Tommy Reis’ pitching almost at will, they stacked up a six-run margin in the first inning. The Blues came back with four runs in the second and tied the score at 8-all in the ninth. Louisville scored two runs in the 10th and the best Kansas City could do in that inning was a lone run. Don Hendrickson replaced Reis in the second. ' Charley Wensloff and Al Gearhouser also saw mound duty for Kansas City and off the four, the Colonels got 13 hits. Bud Parmlee and Tex Hughson held the Blues to 10 hits. Hank Borowy will pitch for Newark tonight against Floyd Stromme of Baltimore as the two clubs, all even in the International League playoff with one victory apiece, move into Baltimore for the third game of the Governor's Cup series, The Bears scpred their first victory over Baltimore, 4-3, in 10 innings last night.

2 Bouts Added To Mitt Card

munity Center featherweight, will collide with LeRoy Simmons, Hill Community Center, and Danny Shea, unattached scrapping Irishman, will take on Sammy Allen, English Avenue Boys’ Club featherweight, in three-round scraps added to the weekly amateur mitt program, Friday night at the Armory. Allen edged out a clpse decision over Shea in a recent three-round go, and both boys have asked Matchmaker Fred DeBorde for a return fracas. In other bouts already scheduled, Eugene Miller, English Avenue Boys’ Club, will tackle Robert Woodson, Leeper A. C. 115-pounder; Raymond Glenn, Washington A. C. feather-

And the Redskins Are Even Using I. U. Formations

Manual High School, we are privileged to report, has gone completely overboard for the Bo McMillin system. : ; . Not only are the Redskin pigskinners employing the pet I. U. forma-

tions, but already Head Coach Harry Painter has adopted without reser-

vation Colonel Bo’s philosophy. “We may not win a lot of ball games this year, but watch us next year,” he announced. It sounded exactly like something transcribed from a McMillin message, although Mr. Painter still could stand some practice on the Texas accent,

Janzaruk Has the Plays

The gentleman responsible for this breakway from Manuals customary Notre Dame style is John Janzaruk, who will be remembered as one of the fellows on the payoff

end of Hal Hursh’s tosses last year. When Janzaruk left I. U. last spring he rolled up most of Mr. McMillin’s extra-special diagrams inside his diploma and was only to glad to make them Manual property when he was added to the South Side coaching staff. 4

In all frankness, this does look [ike the beginning of a new gridiron era at Manual. Besides Janzaruk, John Piper, a former Manchester hand, has been added to the coaching staff. But Coach Painter’ knows you can’t run a fireball-powered football machine off an assembly line overnight. “Maybe you won't see a whole lot of improvement in Manual year,” he confessed. ‘But that squad there is loaded with sophomores and juniors. And we'll be having our say in this town in a year or two.” |

Let's Forget Friday

Manual opened its season last Friday night against Jefferson at Lafayette and, to put it mildly, took a trimming, But even then, against this overpowering opposition, Wilbert Allanson, Manual left half, got off for a 57-yard gallop. Keep it quiet, but he's one of Mr. Painter's sophomores. - : The sparkplug of tHe Manual backfield is. Clifford Matthews, a nice lad to have had around during Manual’s dreary days. Matthews is a senior now and calling signals from the fullback spot. : Other posts in the backfield are being filled by Paul Brandes, quarterback, and John Gimeron or Bernard Davis, right halfback. Up front Coach Painter has Wendell Garrett and Leonard Gray at ends, William Gillock and Kenneth Nusbaum at tackles, Jim Hardesty and Everett Montgomery at guards,

- land William Vandermoere at center.

Friday afternoon the Redskins will have a heavy assignment against Park at Delavan Smith Field. After that their opposition will come. in this fashion: Oct. 4—at Washington; Oct. 11—at Southport (night); Oct. 18—Technical; Oct. 23—Broad Ripple; Nov.1—at Sheridian (night), and Nov. 8—Cathedral.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Sept. 25.—! Judging the prospects by the super- | |latives with which they are described, some college publicity department will win the national | football championship this year.

But the publicity departments are not spinning their sensational epithets and smiles out of thin air, at that. The national crop of bright prospects is really exceptionally good this year. Even the coaches are admitting it. We hasten to add, of course, that our schedules are tougher than ever before; but the fact remains, all this smoke-up comes from many fires. There will be more good teams in the field than usual, and the -play will be correspondingly more interesting. Then, too, the style of play will be pleasing to the average fan.

If the secondary doesn’t react immediately, the receiver gets well started on a run. Snappy huddles result -in more plays and add color to the routine of a football game. Another chante in the rules automatically snaps up the huddle by reducing the time between snapbacks from 30 seconds to 25. Perforce, there will be more action this fall. Breaks of the game add to the thrill of football. There may be more breaks this year as the result of a “clarifying” statement by the rules committee relative to protection of the kicker. That protection is to be enforced only in cases where it is “reasonably obvious” the player intends to kick. Added pressure on quick kickers as the result of this ruling should produce more

The remark was relayed to Warner, now advisory coach to the San Jose State College squad, who was in Salt Lake City en route to Ogden, Utah, for a game. . Pop Warner's roar was heard for miles. “Yost’s statement is ridiculous,” he preambled. “But Yost is a big bag of wind and always popping off.” He noted that Texas Christian University, the country’s top team in 1938, used the double-wing back offensive exclusively. His own San Jose team was the country’s highest scoring team last year with the same system. “The double-wing created by Warner is' the poorest offense ever conceived in the mind-of man , . . and its inventor, Pop Warner, my old friend, will tell you it’s no good,” said Yost. :

A Warning to Ol’ Purdue

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 25. — Shooting the angles on this week's crucial opening games involving four Big Ten teams:

Butler at Purdue—Mal Elward’s reconstruction job runs into something that may not, be so harmless as it looks. Butler is a well-bal-anced group that will take advantage of any sluggishness Purdue hasn't ironed out.

Washington at Minnesota — A beauty for a warmup! By the time the extra-husky Huskies and Minnesota’'s reviving Gophers get through pounding each other there may not be enough of either of them left to finish the season. Wash-

|ington is considered in a great spot

to. replace Southern California as champion of the Pacific Coast Conference and despite its long trip, probably will be favored.

Michigan at California — Michigan, a speed team, will run into one nearly as fast at Berkeley. Although California has the better reserves, Tommy Harmon makes Michigan the bet. California’s style of play, altered to fit speed material, may revert to crashing line play and that's Michigan's worry.

Pittsburgh at Ohio State — The Big Ten champions are out to even their series with Pittsburgh and the odds say they will. Quarterback Don Scott, most versatile back in the conference, is the boy to start watching. Francis Schmidt complains of two things: Too much ballyhoo for Ohio State and too many good backs from Pittsburgh. But Ohio State will have its best defense in several seasons.

Texas Head Unable To Accept I. U. Bid

Sept. 25.—President Homer Price Rainey, of the University of Texas said today he would “not be able to make the trip” to Bloomington, Ind. for Indiana University’s opening football game against the Steers, Oct. 5. Dr. Rainey explained that he had “received a very kind invitation from President Herman B Wells of Indiana University. I would like very much to attend the game, especially since I have many friends in Indiana. But unfortunately I will not be able to make the trip.” Texas opens its schedule Saturday against Celoradd and the Steers were scheduled. to hold their last heavy workout today.

No Takers for | Benny McCoy

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25 . (U. P.).—The Philadelphia Athletics have asked waivers on Benny McCoy, second sacker whom Connie Mack purchased after he had been declared a free agent, and none of the 15 other major league clubs has offered the $7500 waiver price, it was reported today. It is customary for clubs in the closing days of the seasons: to ask waivers on players they may use in winter trades, but baseball experts considered it significant that McCoy was the only player mentioned in the waiver report. MgCoy, former Detroit. utility second baseman, was declared a ‘free agent by Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis last year and the veteran Mack outbid the -field by offering McCoy $45,000 and a two-year contract at $10,000 annydlly. Although McCoy failed to live up to the fans’ ©xpectations, Mack kept him in the infield until he injured his leg in mid-season. Since then McCoy and Larry (Crash) Davis, former Duke University captain, have been alternating at the keystone post.

Bouthers Face Loop’s Two Weakest Clubs

Cleveland Is Desperate; Detroit on Spot

By GEORGE KIRKSEY ‘United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.— The terrifying shadow of tha Yankees fell across the pennant paths of the Tigers and Indians again today. With six in a row and seven of their last eight games won, the Yanks have sneaked up on the pacemakers once more, The Yanks now trail by 214 games with six left to play, three each with the Senators and Athletics, the league's

weakest clubs. ! They may sweep them all. If they did the Tigers would have to win four of their remaining five games to clinch the pennant. The Indians would have to take all their remaining four to tie. The upsurge of the Yanks ineans that the McCarthymen have no intentions of giving up and letting the Tigers and Indians have a duel all to themselves Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Cleveland. All sorts of complications are possible as a result of the Yanks’ twin triumph yesterday over the Senators, 6-5 (10 innings) and 9-4 (7 innings).

Tigers Must Go ‘All Out’

For one thing it puis pressure on. the Tigers, who head the Indians by a game and a hall. Detroit plays the White Sox a dou=-ble-header today and winds up with the three-game Cleveland series. They- have to go all out to try to win them all. Cleveland's -.situation 1s now desperate as a result of yesterday's 7-2 loss to the Browns. , If the Tigers win -a double-header today, the Indians will then have to take today's single game from the Browns and sweep the three-game Detroit. series . . . always remembering that the Yanks can get up there by winning all their games. The Yanks pulled the first gama out of the fite .in 10 heats, 6-5, and then drubbed the Senators, 9-4, in the short game. Dutch Leonard hadgthe Yanks licked 5-3 going into thé ninth but let the Yanks get up, and put over the two tying runs in the ninth. Then Walter Masterson ‘came in the 10th in a jam and pitched the game-winning single to Red Rolfe. Johnny Murphy came in as a relief man, and won both games for the Yanks.

Red Sox Slug A’s

The Red Sox came out of their slump and slugged out a twin trie umph over the Athletics, 16-8 and 4-3.. In the opener the Red Sox pounded out six homers, three triples, five doubles and nine singles for 52 total bases to ‘come within one of tying the modern tota! base record of 53 set by the Yanks in 1939. : They also: came within one of tying the record of five homers in one inning when Williams, Foxx, Cronin and Tabor hit for the circuit in the sixth. It was Foxx's 35th of the season and 500th of his major league career. Jack Wilson shaded Bill Beckman in the nip-and-tuck nightcap. : _ The Dodgers clinched second place in the National League race with a 5-4 victory over the Giants. This is the highest the Dodgers have finished since they ran sec ond in 1924. The Dodgers have now won 87 games, the fourth time in the 40-year history of the cluh they've won that many.
