THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1981 PAUL DERRINGER 10 LEAD TEAM AGAINST FASTBALLER GROVE Injuries To St. Louis Club Make Them Underdog In Betting Circles HAINES IS DEFINITELY OUT Initial Tilt Will Be Held at Sportsmans Park In Mis- souri City St. Louis, Oct. 1—(?)—The curtain parted Thursday, conjecture ended and argument ceased, and on the great stage of baseball was thrown once more the annual drama of the world series. All the statistics diamond scientists could muster were tossed into waste- baskets. All the predictions, all the brave declarations of hope and con- fidence slipped into the background. And on the battlefield of flag-decked Sportsmans Park the world champion Philadelphia Athletics faced the St. fag Louis Cardinals in actual conflict, the first game of the 1931 world series. Scarcely since the first of the dia- mond’s great heroes, now shrouded by dimming memories, swung into action in the earliest of these fall battles, has there been a setting so tense in its dramatic possibilities, so wide in its appeal to basebell men and the faithful alike. For two straight years the Philadel- phia Athletics, champions of the American League and one of the most. Powerful ball clubs ever assembled, have maced into subjection the cham- Pions of the National circuit. At their head, Mahout of the White Elephants, rides Conine Mack, 68 years old, tall, stately, time-ridden, striving to attain before the curtain falls on his own colorful career, a record no other pilot ever has attained—three straight world championships. In his ranks are three of the out- standing sluggers of the period—eag- er, brawny Al Simmons, the batting champion; the cherub-faced power- house, Jimmy Foxx; and Mickey Cochrane, greatest of the present day catchers. On the firing line he had Lefty Grove, the lanky, taciturn one, probably the outstanding southpaw of all time. “Big Jarge” Earnshaw, the burly right hander, Rube Walberg, another lefty, the veterans Waite Hoyt and Eddie Rommel and the young- sters, Hank McDonald and Lergy Ma- haffey. Against this outstanding crew, the National League mustered the Card- inals, harrassed by injuries, whipped in six games last fall by these same Athletics. For the Red Birds of Gab- by Street it was more than just a struggle for fame and the gold that comes of world series victory. It was @ battle for vindication of the league itself, and the caliber of ball in the circuit that has sent its last four champions out to defeat at the hands of the American titleholders. Anoth- er victory for the Athletics in this series would set a new record for straight series victories in the inter- league competition. But against this background of his- tory making possibilities, there stood out the possibility of individual drama overshowing all else. For instead of pinning his faith on @rizzled Burleigh Grimes, the embat- tied spit-ball hurler who lost two tough games to the A’s last fall, or depending for the all-important “jump” in the brief seven game fray on his veterans, Lefty Bill Hallahan, Flint Rhem, Sylvester Johnson, or Jim Lindsey, all with world series experi- ence, the old sergeant, Gabby Street, Sent out a rookie to carry the load of & man. He was Paul Derringer, 6 feet, 2 inches of yearling, but with one of the finest first year records ever com- piled in the National League. Never before had a world series manager ev- er gambled in the starting game of the classic with such inexperienced material. ‘To climax the pitching drama and bring out the widest possible pitching contrasts on the two club the experts, batting in place of a manager who ‘will not talk about such things, select- ed Grove as the Athletics’ opening hurler. ‘The big Lonaconning Lefty is every- thing that Derringer is not. A vet- €ran now, cunning, tireless, the swift- est hurler of the day, Grove broke all modern southpaw records by winning 31 games for his club during the American League season, The Card- nals beat him last fall, hit him hard in another game, but his great arm and the amazing form of Earnshaw Were the compelling factors in the 1930 St. Louis downfall. They may hit him again, but the baseball world doesn't think so. “Cardinal injuries, plus the all-round 4mpotency of the National League champions in recent series, have aided in marking the Athetics an 8 to 5 fav- orite. Only Joe Boley, limping from leg injuries, has been replaced in the Philadelphia ranks. The Cards, on the other hand, are seriously hit by hurts. Jess Haines, the big right hander, is out of the series with a lame shoulder. Sparky Adams, at third base, has a leg in- jury that probably will force Andy High into his position for the first two games. Pepper Martin, young center fielder, also is bothered by leg hurts. All the series games—Thursday and Friday here, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in Philadelphia, the fol- lowing Friday and Saturday here egain if more are necessary—start at 1:30 p,m. (C. 8.

Heeding the calls of charity, the Big Ten Wednesday voted to sus- pend its rule against post-set games and framed plans whereby five extra contests will be played. Under tentative plans, the two teams with the highest percentages would mect in the headline attrac- tion of the charity schedule.

Only the actual production expenses will be deducted from the gross. Soldier Field, Chicago, was regarded as the certain location for the headline at- traction of the charity game. Most of the conference teams to- day were tapering off for their bat- tles Saturday. —. tatiana la SPORT SLANTS oH The Athletics have outscored | the Cardinals in advance of the world’s series, in the matter of accumulating cripples. Whether it handicaps them. is something else. Every regular of the world’s champ- ions, with the notable exceptions of Lefty Grove and Rube Walberg, has been incapacitated at one time or an- other in the latter part of the season. The only serious casualty in the Cardinal camp is the veteran right- hander, Jesse Joseph Haines, one of the best “one-game” pitchers in the business, The injury to Jim Collins, young first baseman, can be overlooked in view of the fine comeback of Sunny Jim Bottomley at his old post. With the possible exception of Joe Boley at shortstop, the A’s will put their championship line-up on the! field for the first game at St. Louis.} Dib Williams has played so well in the short field that he may get the call, even if Boley is in shape again. Connie Mack's reserves have ex- ceeded his expectations. In fact it is due to their ability and alacrity that, the A’s steamrolled all opposition at a time when they were beset by ail- ments and mishaps to the regular; troops. ‘The club’s performance, under diffi- culties, is one of the most remarkable in major league history and another potent reason why it will be favored to register three world’s champion- ships in a row. —-o National Climbs Slowly Of the last 19 world’s series games, the National league has collected a meagre three. One of these was scored by the Cubs in 1929, the other two by the Cardinals in 1930, On the basis of this improvement, even if it is slow, some substantial hopes may be cherished by the forces of the sen- ior circuit. ‘This domination cannot last for- ever. There isn’t the difference in playing class between the two leagues that the series results would indicate.

RUSSELL-MILLER MILLING CO. | itch Fi rst Game High School Football Gets New Start Schedules Take On Series As- pect With Early Season Games Out Of Way By The Associated Press Better football is in prospect for North Dakota during the remainder of the season according to coaches of the high school teams who generally reported their teams were heavier, faster and in many instances more ex- Perienced than that of the last fall. Graduations each year leave gaps in the line and backfield but usually enough veteran material returns for the next season so that coaches have some veterans around which to build the new team. Most coaches were for- tunate in the number of returning lettermen this fall. Many had a large number of the monogram winners back while the majority had several and only in scattered instances did coaches have to work with only one or two of last year’s men. ‘Wahpeton, last year's unofficial state champion, was one of the teams reporting only two returning letter< men.

This margin of 19/to 7 for the American league in the past six years is an extraordinary tribute to these two money-winning outfits. They have simply had too much class for the best. that the National league could offer. After the A. L. forces finished shoot- ing Ruth, Gehrig, Hoyt and Pennock at the opposition, they commissioned Simmons, Cochrane, Grove, Earnshaw and Foxx to continue the big cleanup. It’s asking a lot of any team to stop any one of these super-stars, let alone @ combination of them when the go- ing is close and tough. A few of them are all time all-stars. All of them would be on anybody’s all-star outfit for the past decade. How To Beat ’Em Good as has been the Cardinal curving staff this season, good enough to outclass the rest of the league with- out recalling so great a youngster as Dizzy Dean, it does not figure to match the work of Grove, Earnshaw and Walberg or Hoyt, in a series or over @ season. ‘Two essentials are required to beat either Grove or Earnshaw; first, they must be hit in the pinches; second, the opposing moundsman must be as good or better. One or the other may transpire but the combination is rare. ——<———$— *TWAS NO BULL Seattle, Wash. Oct. youths, armed with wooden swords and red beach pajamas, were playing toreador with “Betsy,” W.
