ro \ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1931 -- Athletics and Cardinals Take Stock of Strength as Series Looms HANLEY’S WILDCATS SHARPEN CLAWS FOR NEBRASKA |jgs iN ONLY Shires to Languish in Minors Again PHILADELPHIA PINS HOPES FOR VICTORY ON PITCHING STARS Grove and Earnshaw Seen as Means of Another Quick Win For A’s INFIELD NONE TOO STRONG Al Simmons and Mule Haas Are Two of Finest Fielders In Game New York, Sept. 29.—(?)—Measured by the calibre of pitching or the’ yardstick of fielding skill and experi- ence, the world’s champion Athletics possess a margin of superiority over the Cardinals in defenseive strength for the baseball championship battle. The National League champions have a faster infield, featuring the Frisch -Gelbert combination around second base. The A’s, otherwise, have an edge on the mound, behind the bat and in the outfield, especially if the sensational ballhawk, Mule Haas, is back in top form, Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, the twin aces upon whom the hopes of another quick American League victory are based, always have had the benefit of sterling support from their teammates. Inspiration works both ways when either of these fast- ball flinges is on the mound. It’s an old baseball axiom that “you can’t hit what you can’t see” and at times last October, it appeared some of the Cardinals batsmen were not properly visualizing the smoke of Grove and Earnshaw, let alone pene- trating it with any substantial suc- cess. Walberg and Hoyt will form the second line of pitching defense for the A's. The Cardinal twirling defense will be distinctly a gamble, if Gabby Street is forced to rely on Paul Der- ringer and Bill Halahan, instead of Burleigh Grimes and Jesse Hines, veterans of the Red Bird flock. Der- ringer is a newcomer ‘to series fire. ‘With Hallahan, it's either a shutout or a knockout. He blanked the A’s the first time he faced them last year and was routed in two innings the next time. ‘The A’s infield has never been the club's strongest point. Foxx, for in- stance, does not compare with Bot- tomley as @ defensive worker, al- though Big Jimmy is steady Bishop is not so spectacular as Frisch, one of the great defensive second basemen of all time. Boley, an old reliable, cannot cover the ground, nor has he the arm that Gelbert owns. The Mack substitute, Williams, is more on Gelbert’s style. par with either Adams or High at third. On the outer patrol, the A’s have two of the finest fly-chaseres in Al Simmons and Mule Haas. Both cover ‘acres of ground and have great arms. Hafey, in left, and either Pepper Mar- tin or Orsatti in center, for the Cardi- nals, do not quite measure up to the exceptional standard of their rivals. Watkins or Roettger, in right field for the National Leaguers, lack the experience of the veteran Bing Mil- der. Mickey Cochrane may have one or two mechanical faults behind the bat. His arm is good, though not the best in the back-stopping business, but, ‘the great Mack receiver's all around ability surpasses that of the clever ‘Wilson, No. 1 catcher for the Cards.| ‘Toronto, Ont., Sept. 29.—()—The, Mickey’s biggest advantage is at bat.| defending titleholder, Maureen Or- He is one of the greatest “money|cutt of Englewood, N.

Joe Bourne, weighing just 160 pounds, stepped into the job last fall and he is still hold- ing it against all comers. The aggressive youngster from Watertown, 8. D., is playing a smart game in all departments. Rochester Gets Lay of Land For St. Paul Series Champions of International League Have Initial Prac- tice in Lexington Park St. Paul, Sept. 29.—(*)—Members of the Rochester baseball club, cham- pions of the International League, got the “lay of the land” here Tuesday in their initial practice for the little world series with St. Paul, pennant winners of the American Association. Twenty-two players from the New York City who arrived Monday night, planned to work out at Lexington Park, home of the Saints, to familiar- ize themselves with its lights and shadows prior to the opening game of the series Wednesday. ‘Walter (Huck) Betts has been an- nounced as the starting pitcher for St. Paul in Wednesday's contest, and while Manager Billy Southworth of the Red Wings would not definitely commit himself on his hurling selec- tion, it was expected to be given to Roy Starr, young right hander.

No one in the majors is clamoring for him in a very loud tone of voice and Art fears that, this sea- son at least, he has been overlooked. Shires, probably the original what-a- man, was eased out of the Chicago White Sox for assorted misbehaviors, and a year’s penance in the American Association was supposed to be good for his cocky spirit. And now, indi- cations are, there will be two years of penance around first base in Mil- ‘waukee, ‘Determined to regain the good-will of major league moguls Shires did be- have in Milwaukee—pretty well. “I admit,” said he, “that I lifted a stein or two on occasions, but I was always out there the next day to play and produce, I thought I was enti- tled to another shot in the big show, and I was disappointed when no one put in a bid for me.” But he'll be no sulking wall flower. “All that is past and forgotten,” he observed. “If I'm not drafted, and I don’t expect to be, I'll come back here and play just as hard as I did this year. I'll show ’em. I’m young, only 24, and I'll be back up there yet.” Shires made ‘an impressive record with Milwaukee. He was batting close to .400 all season. Cubs and White Sox To Play City Series Chicago, Sept. 29.—(#)—The Cubs and White Sox will open their city baseball championship series Wednes- day at Wrigley Field, home grounds of the National League representative. The set will be conducted along world series lines, four victories being neces- sary to decide the title. Red-Faber is expected to be the Sox’ starting pitcher, with Charlie Root opening for the Cubs. around the top when his final south- west conference game ‘is played against ‘Texas Christian. As for predicting « championship, | he says “It looks like too tough a year on all of us for that.” “The return of Marion Hammon to his tackle position, and the recov- ery of Weldon Mason, who was in- jJured most of last year,” Morrison’ Said, “gives me an-experienced club. and one that I believe will win a few) games.” . Southern Methodist, known as the aerial circus of the southwest confer- ence. will be just that again this sea- son. Morrison's system is a serles of passes plus a running attack from pass formation and this year he has enough versatile backfield players to keep the opposition guessing when the Mustangs are on the offensive. Giants Are Slated To Meet Bismarck Preliminary arrangements for a two game series between the Elks- sponsored Bismarck team and the Grove Giants have been completed ‘and the two aggregations are sched- uled to clash at the prison diamond Oct. 4 and 11. ‘The Giants, who have been playing bang-up baseball during the current season, annexed their 18th victory of the year Sunday Flasher Braves, 4 to 2. of Lefty Klein, one of the greatest Five hundred boys partici summer at Wichita Falls, Tex. .OUR BOARDING HOUSE QUIET NoW,SASON ! ~ T MUST CONCENTRATE oN His MaST DECISIVE AND © & NERVE WRACKING STROKE ! aw IF I SINK fT, MY SCORE FOR “THE EIGHTEEN HOLES WILL BE 132 ~~ A VERY SATISFACTORY SCORE ~ER- UM ~~ CANSIDERING| You HAVE NEVER CADDIED BEFORE ~~ YES + ~~ AH THOUGHT CATCH IT wrth A PLAVER YEH ~NEX" Time AH7LL BE BETTAH ~ AN’ AH KNOW No'LL Grr 1SO EASY! ~~ Vo" SEE, AH NEBBER KNOWED NUFFIN) ABOUT DIS GOLF GAME!

A fair reply may be had on Oct. 3 when the Irish face Indiana; but a definite retort will most certainly be had the following Saturday when) Notre Dame meets Northwestern at) Soldier Field. Both the Hoosiers and Wildcats are natural rivals of the Irish. Notre Dame's first contest of note in grid- iron history was with Northwestern back in the ‘90's, Neither Indiana nor Northwestern ever beat Rockne. Now that he has gone these two rivals will be the first to test the armor Rockne left behind him and not even Army or Southern Califor- nia will have more heart for the task than Pat Page or Dick Hanley.

LOUIS CLUB Gabby Street Believes Both Martin and Adams Will be Ready to Start TEAM IS WORKING OUT Paul Derringer Seems Likely To Get Pitching Assign- ment Thursday St. Louis, Sept. 29.—()—Except for Pitcher Jess Haines, who probably will see no action because of an arm injury, Manager Gabby Street ex- pects the St. Louis Cardinals to be at their full strength for the world series. Gabby said Tuesday he believe: both John (Pepper) Martin, center- fielder, and “Sparky” Adams, third baseman, will be ready for action in the first game against the Philadel- phia Athletics here Thursday. Martin, who suffered a wrenched left knee in Cincinnati Sunday, work- ed out with his teammates Monday, handling himself without favoring the injured knee to any noticeable degree. Adams, who an ankle Sept. 20, also worked out. Haines. Street said, probably will not pitch during the series. The big righthander pulled a muscle three weeks ago, and has not pitched since. With Haines out of consideration, it was regarded as likely today that Street would send Paul Derringer, giant righthander, against the Athle- tics in the opening game. Street, however, said he would not announce the opening game pitcher until Wed- nesday. “Wild Bill” Hallahan was considered the logical choice for the second game. Street ordered another workout for this afternoon, after the players re- turn to Sportsman's park from a “victory parade” through the down- town streets. They will be joined in the polishing up maneuvers by Bill Walker, lefthander of the Giants, who has volunteered his services. The Athletics apparently will not hold a workout at Sportsman’s park before the series. They are, of course, familiar with the field, as they play their American League games there against the Browns, and, in addition. had world series experience there last October.
