EARLHAM TO BATTLE I Giants' and Yankees' Firing Lines for World Series Contain Hurling Stars of the First Magnitude, Capable of Accomplishing Great Feats of Masterful Pitching AT DAYTON SATURDAY, HOMECOMING OCT, 23
. . -
i Only a few more days remain for
Coach Mowe to shape his gridiron, war
riors for the opening clash of the season with Dayton university next Saturday at Dayton. A hard battle 1 indicated by the dope of last Saturday
when Dayton walked all over Cedar ville to the tune of 50-0.
During the past week two scrimmages were indulged in on Reid field
which helped materially to shdw tha
coaches and men the weak spots in
the eleven.
Coach Mowe is working on a new
system this year. Instead of giving out a large number of plays at the
start he is dwelling on blocking, charg
mg ana interference. Tnese are tne
main essentials of a well balanced team. By the time of the middle o!
the season the players should be far
ther along in these departments ani should he able to master plays given
tnem m a shorter period of time. Competition for Line
In the line the bid for positions seems to be the strongest. At center Borden, Eades and Raiford are fighting it out. Guards are showing up strons
with Eades, Spaulding, H. Prevo, Hoerner, Blackburn and Townsend all work
ing hard. No man can be picked at
end for a regular berth. Experience
is lacking here but eight men are being worked at end. Huff, Dale, W.
- Stanley, Mendenhall, Hadley, Gilbert, Green and Townsend. In the backfield the Maroon and White have three varsity men from last year's eleven, Capt Carter, Ems-
lie and Hinshaw. Four other men are showing up strong in Hatfield, Shumaker, P. Jones and Young. From this group Mowe should develop a ' speedy backfield.
The Earlham men undoubtedly have a hard season ahead of them. They
play the home-coming games with bot'tf
Butler and Franklin. Oct. 28, the date of the HanoverEarlham football game, has been chosen as the time of the annual Earlham
home-coming by members of the fac
ulty committee on athletics. Plans of those in charge of arranr
ment3 Include a better program than ever before offered at a home-coming event. A student committee 13 to be appointed this week to co-operate with
the family committee in arranging the details of a carefully planed campaign in order to have as many alumn! and old students back as possible. Hanover is an old rival of Earlham
and demonstrated by her great battle
against Wabash last Saturday that tho game in which she stacks up against
the Quakers will be no mean exhibition of football. It is also probable that the annual
lnterclass Ionian cross-countv run will
be a feature of the day. Candidates for the different class teams are in training for the event and have been run
ning over the probable course at var
ious times.

By FRANK G. MEN'KH The Giants ought to gather In another world's championship banner without any excess strain upon their
nerves or physical systems.
They "spotted" the Yanks a Drace of combats in the duelling of 1921 and then romped home. They won't do any "spotting" this season, but they ought to do the romping just the same. In the matter of walloping, the Giants "edge" the Ysnks by something
like 17 noints which is quite a youtn-
ful marsrin. In fieldine, it's aDou-
50-50. In Ditchins. the Yankees seem
to have a mild edge in the possession of Bush and Shawkey, with Hoyt and
Mavs in the background.
But in teamwork and in fighting spirit the vital assets of a ball club,
especially in the brier series in'. Giants have a distinct advantage. And in the leadership, the Nationals
with wise, old John McGraw at the
helm, are quite a few jumps in front
It was McGraw's trick of out-thinking
Miller Huggins a year ago or maybe it was merely the slow thinking of, Huggins which made triumph possible for the Giants of 1921. History 6hould repeat in that connection this year. Huggins Is Slow Thinker McGraw is a born strategist; Huggins isn't. The Giant chieftain rarely has been accused of making tactical blunders in any baseball battling durlne his career. The same cannot b
said of Huggins. Rather, it often has j
been said that Huggins' outstanding
fault is his inability to think fast and command rapidly in moments of emergency. Man for man barring the slingere the Giants do not yield to the Yankees. Certainly the Giant infield Kelly, Frisch, Bancroft and Groh is not only as great, as the Yanks interior quartet, but is is one of the greatest combinations of all time. Babe Ruth, of course, is the Yankee ace. But he was ditto in 1921. And what did he do. Maybe he'll disport
with a bit more brilliance in 1922
and mavbe he won't do as well.
Behind the bat and likewise in tho business of covering acreage in the outfield the Giants seem to have the advantage. Rush and Shawkey constitute a
brace of flJngers who have thown something a bit beyond that of any
Giant hurler. But what pitchers show in a regular season of play is not criterion of what they'll do in brief and spotted world series tussle. History again can be dragged forth and pe rused to find the truth in that. It seems, therefore, from this angle: that the Giants will be more or less a "shoo-in"-due in the main to better
team play, greater fighting spirit and
Keen nimble trained leadership. (Copyright By King Features Syndicate, lac.)

HERE IS REASON JEAN GOAR DIDN'T RETURN TO EARLHAM Jean Goar, captain of the Earlham college basketball team of 1921-22, announced -Tuesday, his marriage to Miss Ethel Paul, which took place at Louisville, Ky., last July. Friends knew nothing of the event until the announcement was made at a party given by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Paul at their home n No. blesville, Ind., Tuesday. ..Jean was prominent In Earlham athletic circles and much consternation was In the air when the students found that he had not returned to school this fall. He played floor-guard and forward on the Earlham team for three years and was expected to return to school for a record year in athletics. Word was received that a bungalow was going up for some member of the Goar family, but Earlham officials little realized that it was meant for Jean. Mr. Goar intends to return to Earlham next spring to resume his studies.

"Home Run" Baker In Sixth World Series Encounter This world's series makes it an even half dozen for J. Franklin Baker.
The man who sprung to home run
fame by his circuit drives in the fall classic is the series vet of the Yankee
team. Three other members of the
club have come within one series oi
Baker's mark, however. Babe Ruth, Carl Mays and Wallie Schang are playins: their fifth.
Baker played in lour or tne annual
frolics with the famous White Eie

in the '21 series with the Yanks. . . Startled World With Homers .
It was in the 1911 series against the
Giants, too. bv the way, that Baker
startled the world by his terrific clouting. The Athletics won that series, four games to 2. Against Rube Marquard in the second game Baker
drove out a four-sacker that gave the Athletics their lead. In the next
game, facing the one and only Mathew-
son. Baker drove anotner nomer into the regions beyond, again aiding the Athletic victor. Baker is getting old. Ten campaigns have passed since those hal
cyon days, uut Baser isn t tnrougn, by any means.
r (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 4. In a horseShoe shaped 6tadium under the lee of a rocky bluff named after a man called Coogan, John McGraw's Giants, Na tional league pennant winners, today engaged Miller Huggins American league champions in the first game of a series for world baseball honors. But 30 persons were in line before the gates at the Polo grounds at mid night. In past years a considerably larger crowd assembled before the gates early in the evening preceeding the opening of the world's series, and remained patiently in line until the tickets were placed on sale at 10 a. m
Bernard Berrgran, of Brooklyn, who
reached the polo grounds at 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, held first
position in the line, and Leslie Car
penter, 16 year old office boy, was
second. Irving Amsterdam, Hoboken
N. J., was third and Benjamin Ber-
man, Cleveland, Ohio, was number
four.
Mast of the early arrivals carried a soap box or camp stool, while several spread newspapers on the ground and
attempted to sleep. Battle Second Time
It Is the second time these Manhat
tan teams have battled for the title. McGraw's relentless fighting machine
brushed aside the trim Yankee band
after getting away to a poor start last
year. The Giants were favorites then and came through, though the battle
lasted through eight games.
This year the Yankees because of a great pitching staff composed of
"Bullet Joe" Bush, "Sailor Bob" Shaw

youthful Waite Hoyt, and the depend

as ever the fighters at their best when
against odds, and though their pitchern
on paper do not appear eo well as those of Huggins, they are a dangerous
lot.
Batteries Announced Arthur Nehf, the young left handed
pitching star of the Giants, was in shape for mound duty, while Miller
Huggins announced he had selected
Bush to oppose him. Wallie Schang was to work behind the bat for the Yanks and Snyder was McGraw's back

R?chmond Community Service basbetball leagues will get started on their season's campaign Thursday night when P. H. Slocum, of the ser
vice, meets all managers and captains
in the city who wish to play in the leagues this year. A big impetus has been given tha sport already by Jenkins and company, jewelers,, who through the suggestion of William H. Rindt, have presented Community Service with a handsonle silveT loving cup to be known as the "Jenkins and company trophy." This is one of the handsomest trophies ever offered for competi-tic-. ia Richmond. The trophy will be on exhibition at the meeting Thursday night and after that, will be shown to the public in
the Jenkins window. This interest on the part of Mr.
Rindt, who is a rotarian, is an indica
tion of the attitude of local business men toward wholesome sports. Plan Heavy Activities. Ray Weisbrod. chairman cf men's
and boys' activities of Community Service, announced Wednesday that
not only would Community Service
organize leagues and provide playing
services, but that the committee is
planning to conduct a great invitation tri- countv tournament during the
middle of the winter.
Through arrangement with Prof.
Heironimous of the David Worth
Dennis junior high school, Commun
ity Service games will be staged in the
new gymnasium, which besides be
ing the finest floor in the city is equip
ped with the most modern shower
baths and dressing accommodations
Teams desiring to use the floor be
fore the season opens should see Mr
Slocum immediately.
The meeting Thursday night will be
held in the Community Service office
over 111 North Eighth street, at 8 o'clock. Girls' League Meets The Girls' League will open its season about the same time as the Boys' league. - Girls' games will be played on the new junior high school floor on Wednesday nights. The league will be assisted by Miss Elsie Marshall and it is expected that some of Miss Comstock's Earlham college
teams. The college coaches brought some of the girls' teams to a high state of perfection last year. A meeting will be called soon for the managers and captains of girls' teams at which time preliminary organization for the season will be effected.
Babe Ruth is reported to be in fine condition for the series this year. His injuries of last year are a thing of the past and fans naturally expect great
coaches will be available to coach the i things from him for the Yanks.
