NINE BIG TEN TEAMS SWING INTO ACTION ON GRIDIRON TODAY
(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 7. Nine Western Conference football teams today were ready for the formal opening of the 1922 football season. Illinois was the only big ten school without an opponent. Eight of the nine active elevens entertained opponents rated beneath, them in strength, while the University of Chicago, engaging in the first of the year's big inter-sectional contests had as a guest the heavy, fighting University of Georgia bulldogs which promised to make Coach Stagg's charges earn every point scored. None of today's games In which Big Ten schools were contestants counted
in the championship race, as all had
non-conference opponents.
Rain yesterday and today made
many wester gridirons soggy for the
opening games. The Chicago-Georgia game bade fair to become a tussle in
the mud. Others In Action
While the Big Ten teams excepting
the University of Illinois, were swing
ing into action, most of the Miseouri
Valley conference elevens, those of the
Little 10 and other colleges of the mid die west also got under way.
Today's engagements on the midwestern front included the following.
in which Big Ten teams were particl
pants, all the conference elevens open
ing at home. Georgia at Chicago. Knox at Iowa. Carleton at Wisconsin. Millikin at Purdue. Ohio Wesleyan at Ohio State. Beloit at Northwestern, Case at Michigan. . North Dakota at Minnesota. DePauw at Indiana. Other games in the middle-west In

ents of their feet in the City Bowling league on the R. and W. alleys Friday night. All three teams took three straight games from the losers. Art King was high score and high average for the evening's bowling. His high game was 247 and average totalled 220. Conklin, of the Feltman's Tramps, ran up a good high game with a total of 224.

Coleman was high score with 191 and he carried high average of the match with 181. The scores:

Every world's series has had its "goat," an unfortunatj victim of fate. Usually this "goat" has been a player. The unfortunate incident which m-rked the close of the second game of tho 1922 series stands out as the high spot in the battle. Umpire-in-
Commissioner Land is throwing the first ball at one of the world's series games, and Umpires Uildebrand, above, and Klem, below.
Chief Hildebrand, after conferring with Umpire Klem before the start of the tenth inning, decided to call the game at the end of that inning. The scor- was a tie when the conference was held and the game called. Thousands of disgruntled fans took out their anger on Commissioner Landis, occupying a box. They jostled him and threw paper at him. In the evening Judge Landi3 an
nounced that the decision of the umpires would be upheld, but that the entire proceed of the game would be given to the di abled soldiers end charities of New York. The reason given by the umpires for calling the game was their thought that approaching darkness might cause the game to be won or lo-; on a "fluke." Fans had not noticed any cunge in the light.
SEE SUNDAY'S GAME ON PALLADIUM'S BOARD Sunday's game of the world series between the New York Giants and Yankees will be shown on The Palladium's magnetic playing board, starting at 1 o'clock. Each play will be shown on the board immediately after it is received over the special leased wire connected with the Polo grounds. Each play or event at the Polo grounds is played on the board and announced for the benefit of the hundreds of fans who have daily been watching the series in front of The Palladium office. The management of the Eagle baseball team has arranged to postpone the start of the game with Cambridge at Exhibition park until after the world series game is over, enabling the fans to journey to the park for Sunday's game, which is the eleventh meeting of the two clubs.

By FRANK G. ME.VKB "Is he or aint he?" The quiz has reference to Siki, the Senegalese smacker. He aint," answers Paris. Which probably is true. Nothing in the record of the dusky poker indicates ring greatness. The only thing he ever accomplished beyond the mediocre was to stow away Georges, the French Carp. And what's that? The Carp never whipped a good man in his life. After Dempsey finished with him in Jersey City he wasn't what he used to be not by a bucketful. And then the Carp did a bit of celebrating which certainly did not help him in a physical way. The pretty boy, who was b,uilt up into something of a Deity by a lot of diligent press agents prior to the mixup with Dempsey under-estimated Siki. He thought the black bird was
a setup. Which was fair reasoning
at that. But the Carp likewise under
estimated what ravages time, Demp
sey and a free and easy life Tor the
past year had wrought.
Job Knocking Carpentler. And then bingo! Even though Carpentier was per
haps a mile out of condition, though he was only half as good a fighter as he was when he met Dempsey, and
though at best, he wasn't much any
way, this Siki person had to devote
six rounds and some questionable tac
tics to insure victory.
So. in the face of all this, how can
Siki be rated as really formidable? Siki undoubtedly would be a drawing card here on account of his freak-

natives steamed up considerably.
And Siki would draw just because
the American public does like to slant
at freaks.
But as far as fighting ability is concerned Well, it is a reasonably safe wager that the first fighter along these shores who gets a poke at ttie dome of the Senegalese Smacker, perhaps will achieve a decisive and probably speedy triumph. (Copyright ny Kin Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

All the remainder of the stars in the worldseries are being crowded to the background, with the exception of Babe Ruth and Heinle Groh, who attracted considerable attention when they had a wee argument over a bump which the Babe gave the Giant third baseman when he came into third base.

Series Sidelights
(By Associated Press) 1 NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Their aspira
tions cooled by the frigid breath of a ghost from baseball's graveyard, Miller" Huggins' Yankees stood today in
the shadows of their own tomb. They must recover from the blight of the phantom. Long John Scott, whose rattling tar-heel bones gave them a scare yesterday from the likes of which only one team in world series history ha3
recovered. The unearthly pitching that the spook brought from the cemetery caused the Yanks bats to pass through as if the balls were bits of ectoplasm, and in a wordly way of speaking defeated them 3 to 0 in the third game of the world's series. The defeat was the second in the series for the Yankees. In the. series of 1921, the Giants set a precedent by winning the title after
spotting the' Yanks to the first two
games. Long John's pitching bones were
laid to rest last July. Pat Moran, of the Cincinnati Reds officiated at the
obsequies. He had pronounced John's
pitching days over, the dirge was
droned and the baseball world soon forgot that John Scott had ever lived.
Scott Comes Back. Then some worldly being communi
cated with spiritland and Scott learned there was a dearth of pitchers. He turned over in his musty coffin, push
ed out its sides and stalked the earth. He liked it, decided to stay, got a job, and showed faint signs of materializing. John McGraw of the Giants needed pitchers, and he would have them,
even if they had to be resurrected.
So the gaunt figure of John Scott
appeared yesterday on the mound they call the pitcher's box. Versed as he was in the tricks of the "beyond" he put 'em where the Yankees could
not. see them. Everywhere a l ankee waved his bat there was an emptiness."
Some times long John left them tapthem, depending on the support and his dependence was well placed.. Want No More Ghosts. Most tvery living being in the baseball world is thinking about Scott today, but the Yankees are thinking of other things. Miller Huggins never wants to see a ghost materialize again, and he's trying to forget about it by making desperate plans for today's game. He believes that Carl Mays, who hasn't been having any great success with his undchand delivery this year, might halt McGraw's men. If Mays does not bear out this belief, Huggins is prepared to make a still more desperate play and send Bush into the game with but two days rest. McGraw, with two victories chalked, can afford to take chances, and he has nominated Hugh McQuillan for the pitching duty. Ryan, the youngster who relieved Nehf and worked so well for a short spell in the opening gam is to be kept ready for relief. Snyder probably will be behind the plate for the Giants. - Stengel's lames
leg still bothers him and Cunningham will most likely have the centerfieid
job for the Nationals.
The Giants scored their runs of the
third game in the third and seventh innings. The phantom opened the
third with a single over second. Ban
croft then sent a hot grounder to
Ward, who kicked It into center. The
blow might have gone for a hit, as
Ward had to make a great dive to get
behind it, but the scorers called it an error. It sent Scott to third. Groh
then bounced a high one to Hoyt, who tossed to Dugan, catching Scott on the way home. Bancroft got to third
and Groh to second while the out was
being made. Bannie scored on
Frisch's sacrifice fly to Witt and Groh
counted on E. Meusel's single to right
center.
Frisch's single to right In the seventh after two were out, scored Bancroft, who had walked, and advanced to third when Groh singled on
a hit and run play.
Huggins tried to stave off defeat by using Elmer Smith and "Home-run" Baker as pinch hitters for Ward i.nd Hoyt in the last moments of play. But
the spook's curves were too much for
them. Sam Jones pitched the final
inning for the Yankees.
PETERS WILL COUDUCT
BASKETBALL GLASSES
FOR INDUSTRIALITES
Classes in basketball coaching will
be carried on at the Y. M. C. A., start-1 ting next week, under Sidney C. Peters, physical director of the association, for the benefit of the teams of the Y. M. C.

in offense and defense. Tactics of the game will be properly demonstrated and numerous skull talks will
be given by Mr. Peters.
Two representatives from each team
in the league will be eligible to attend the classes, and they will be in

Cambridge has won five games . of

mound against the Birds when play

"Spike" Flaherty failed to hold his edge over the locals in last Sunday's games, as he did at Cambridge a while back, and the Gray management is banking strong on their , regular hurler to produce for them. "Rus" Hawekotte Is slated to work for the locals on the hill. It is hoped that he will be as effective as he has been in past encounters with the Grays. Creager, former Gray and Connersville Minute-MCn third baseman, has announced that he will come to play the hot corner for the Eagles against his old teammates Sunday.

the series began were driven home by Irish Meusel. His clout in the first
game drove across the two runs that tied the score and advanced a third runner so that lie was able to trot in with the winning run on a sacrifice fly. The second day Meusel swaed a home run with two on base, giving the Giants all of their scores for the afternoon. Yesterday his single in the third sent Groh across the counting rubber. He got only one hit a day, but each came when it was of utmost value.
Christy Mathewson, playing the reporter's role in this eeries, warms up his writing arm before the game starts by complying with requests for autographs on baseballs, score cards, programs, or whatever the besieging souvenir hunters have handy. Just before the start of yesterday's game, Garry Harrmann, owner of the Cincinnati Reds left his box to pay a short visit of greeting to Matty. He did not bother Big Six with a plea for his signature.
Many a fan, who craved a place among the 22,000 unreserved seats could not even get near the park yesterday in the last 45 minutes before starting time. Police scattered in a loose barrier a block from the Polo grounds turned back every one who had no ticket after the upper grandstand and bleachers had been tightly packed.

Mr. Cannon commented on the con

Evidence that the route from Rich

SARAZEN'S PUTTING
ENABLES HAGEN TO TAKE LEAD FRIDAY
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 7. Gene
Sarazen, the boy golf wonder, lost the
lead in hi3 72-hole golf match with Walter Hagen, British open champion, for the unofficial title of the world, when he became erratic with his
putts; while the British champion put
ted superbly throughout the entire match.
Hagen did not miss a single short
put during the 36 holes, but Sarazen
missed many at as short distances as
five feet.
Sarazen drove equal to Hagen all
the way and his approach shots were remarkable, but Hagen took advantage of his poor playing on the green.
Gene started poorly in the after
noon. He was three down at the end
of the twenty-seventh hole. Once more
he made his struggle on the home stretch. When the match was finish
ed, the Emiling Hagen received an ovation, but as Sarazen walked to the
club-house, there were cries:
" ou'll come back tomorrow. Gene." ' The two players left for New York
to play their final 36 holes of the
match.

Three times Scott pitched to him with such exceeding skill that the home-run slugger topped the ball so that it took a high bound and was fielded between first and second. The only time the Eambino got on base was when Scott curved the ball into his ample anatomy. Hoots and boos were sounded by Giant fans every time the "babe" struck at the ball, or had a strike called on him.
