Football All-Clear Reveals Casualties | CHESTER SMITH, Pittsburgh Press—“When they sounded the
all-clear after the football season late Saturday night, it was'dis-
covered that a direct hit had been scored on our cozy village.” Expert Smith had. in mind, the wallopings handed Pitt and Carnegie Tech, the former by Minnesota, 50-7, the latter by “little” Geneva, 26-0. . , . Geneva used a 220-pound fullback and a 220-pound tackle to crush Carnegie. ” f J “ } ” tJ ” SMITH ADDS, “that is a total of 76 points given up in one afternoon . « « and without checking too closely, it is safe to say that there have been entire seasons when all the opponents of the Panthers and Tartans together didn’t reap a richer harvest. Demphasis is a lovely pastime.” \

Tanks Too Tough for Veteran Wrestler
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN, the “rassler,” well-known to Indianapolis mat fans, has been invalided out of the army with a bad kidney. . . . He was the first professional wrestler to volunteer after Pear] Haror, although he was 48. . . . Man Mountain served in the gegular army from 1911 to 1920, taking part in the first world war. This time Dean enlisted in the tank corps but it was a bit too
* tough for him at his age. . . . Stationed in Texas, the heat melted 67 pounds off the bearded grappler and also sent him to the hos-
pital. . . . Honorably discharged, he still wants to do something for the war effort and is trying to get back in service as a civilian in-
" structor. . . . He was a technical sergeant in the lst armored corps.

'This St. Louis Team Couldn' / Carry Our Bats'—the Rajah
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 30.—To Rogers Hornsby, the spectacular forthright veteran, it is almost shocking that the St. Louis Cardinals should be pessnliied on the same field with the Yankees in the world series which begins today. “Why, they look like a bunch of Singer's midgets,” he said as he sat pack of the dugout and watched them take their batting licks. Mr. Hornshy’s credentials are such that when he speaks on the subject of baseball, and St. Louis teams in particular, he warrants an attentive audience. Among other things he was the manager of the last National league club to beat the Yankees in the play-offs . . . and it was a St. Louis entry, too Out here the press box historians have been comparing the current team with Mr. Hornsby’s champions. A “Sure, it’s a fast club,” nodded Mr. Hornsby, “but nobody has yet figured out a way to s first base in baseball. As for comparing the two. teams, this team couldn’ have carried our bats.”
THERE IS NO ONE in baseball who speaks his mind more openly and with mqre self conviction than Mr. Hornsby, who is, incidentally, a St. Louisian by adoption ++ + I'M 10. Disay Dean, I don't pop off... “x don’t pop off, and I'm a National league fellow and I'd like to see the Cardinals win the series but at the same time I've got to “be honest with myself. What have they got to win it with?” We mentioned their impressive looking pitching staff, a great catcher, a shortstop through whom it seems impossible to drive a ball and what is perhaps the best outfield in the National league. Mr. Hornsby snorted . .. “If this is a real big league baseball club then the game has gone back 30 per cent since I used to play it. And come to think of it, that’s probably true. I know it's gone back that far in the minors where I now operate.” “They are all little hitters,” he points out. “There isn’t a man on the club who can score from the plate with any kind of regularity.” Sco from the plate, in Mr. Hornsby’s: argot, is banging the ball out of the park. 8 ” ” 8 » hn
WE BROUGHT UP THE point of their speed, how they force the other clubs into jams by making them throw the ball away. “You've been watching them against clubs like the Phillies, Cubs, Braves and Reds. All bad clubs. You can't see them doing that against the Yankees, can you? As a matter of fact, they won't dare try to run against the Yankees. If they do they will get .thrown out so far and so fast it won't even be funny.” . It is always unwise to jump at conclusions but the general drift of Mr. Hornsby’s veiled remarks would seem to suggest he does not care a great deal for the 1942 Cardinals. “Now that isn’t envy or stubbornness or a peculiar kind of loyalty,” he added. “Just make a man for man comparison of the two teams, Half the time you don’t know who the first baseman on this team is. One day it will be Hopp, the next Sanders. We had Bot- _ tomley and that year he hit more than 30 home ™ runs. I was at second and I certainly was a better ;second baseman than this guy Brown. Their Marion is good but he wasn’t any better, if as good, as our Thevenow at short. They have a double A kid at third; we had Bell, and he hit around .350 that year. . “They've got Musial, Moore and Slaughter in the outfield, a fair outfield, but we had Hafey, Hornsby Douthit and Southworth. . .. This same Southworth who's managing these féllows. Of course, Southworth’s in no position to talk now but he knows baseball and he’d have to tell you privately, anyway, there is no comparison between the two clubs, “They claim a lot of pitching but that remains to be tested against a real club. Ours met the test. We had Sherdel, Haines, Hallihan, Rhem and Alexander, all smashing pitchers. They have & good catcher but we had O'Farrell, one of the best and a fellow who knew all the answers behind the plate. Even a blind man (this was Mr. Hornsby’s diplomatic substitute for dumb sports writers) ought to be able to see there was no comparison.”

Bulldogs Prep For Illini
Preparing for their meeting with

through a light ‘workout yesterday afternoon ‘due to the battered condition of the Blue and White. Ten gridders were injured in the Indiana battle last Saturday. ; The last time the Bulldogs clashed with the Illini was 1930, It will be the Bulldogs second straight contest with a member of the Big Nine this year. In scrimmage Coach Frank “Pop” Hedden used three different backfield quartets with subs filling the gaps left by ailing regulars. Leslie Dold, Steve DeWald, Tom Sleet and Francis Morriarity composed one foursome, while Jim Gil son, Steve Vex, Jim Mitchell and Steve Stoyko formed another combination. The third backfield was made up of Boris Chaleff, Bob Rogers, George Mingle and Bob Merchant, a new comer from Ft. Wayne. Gordon Tanner and Kenny Gieman moved up to take over first string end berths replacing Harold Miller and Knute Dobkins who were hurt Saturday. Andy Williams and Billy Howard, two lettermen, were in uniform for the first time in several weeks, but did not take an active part in the day's drill.

Denson Drills
Al Globe, \the San Francisco heavyweight who will be on hand at the Armory Friday night to battle Johnny Denson, of Indianapolis, in the 10-round top bout of a-five-scrap pro fight card arrived here today for a final training session at the Leeper A. C. The Californian will take only a brief drill, having put in his heavy prepping duties at Trafton's gym in Chicago. Globe expects to weigh in at 190 pounds. The local 188-pounder has been stepping through his paces at the Westside A. C., with Al Sheridan and Bob Webb acting as sparmates. Sheridan, who will be stepping into the light-heavyweight class for the first time, will meet Bob Garner, of Louisville, Ky., in the semi-final match, billed for six rounds. Another six rounder will bring together Arnold Deer and Robert Simmons, Indianapolis welterweights, in a re-match. Simmons shaded the former in a recent scrap at Sports Arena.
