Louis Wins Struggle Mon- day Before Largest Crowd of Present Series Detroit, Oct. 9—(P)—Of these things, and these alone, could the baseball world be certain Tuesday as the Tigers and Cardinals staggered down to the starting line for the sev- enth and final game of the 1934 world series, punch drunk from the wildest orgy of form reversals, accidents, bril- liance, mediocrity, and pugnacious- Prepare for Final Game of World Series ILLINOIS ELEVEN TACK Ga THIS NATION 1S I HAVE FIGUR' CANDLES TO A ness in the modern history of the classic: Anybody is likely to pitch. Anything may happen. Anybody is likely to win. And it just might rain on top of everything else. ' Mickey Cochrane was in a hospital overnight but he insisted on coming out to catch somebody who must eventually go to the box for the Tigers. ‘The Cards, right back on even terms, where they were before the series started, when everyone knew every- thing about everything, had a choice either of big Jerome Dizzy Dean, the/ great failure of Sunday, or little Will Hallahan, the huge success of the second game. Anybody May Pitch For the Tigers, the field consisted of Rowe, “General” Alvin Crowder, Tommy Bridges, Elden Auker, and Indian Elon Hogsett, in that order, which is all there are. Rowe, the choice of the Tiger players despite the fact that young Paul Dean, the best pitcher of the series so far, beat him 4 to 3 in a madhouse battle Mon- day, evening the scries at three victor- jes each, also was a hospital out- patient. After Monday's ten-hit walloping, when the news still was fresh that Cochrane, from his hospital cot where @ spiked kneecap and strained liga- ments were being treated, wanted to try again Tuesday with the 22-year old right hander, the bombshell word came that the schoolboy also was a} patient. He went to the hospital in the eve- ning complaining of pains in his pitching hand. It was x-rayed. ‘There were no broken bones, But bruise showed abaft cf the knuckles, and the diagnosis was “muscular abreness.” Handshake Responsible Schoolboy’s explanation varied. He said he shook hands with a 120-pound motion picture comedian, Joey Brown, before the game, and the grip was too much for his 200 pounds, 6 foot 4 inch physique. The pain got worse; the longer he pitched. | The Cards won Monday before the 44,551 fans, the wildest throng Detroit ever turned out to a ball game and the largest of the series.

In the east, the headliners are the Penn-Yale conflict, the battle between Brown and Harvard, and our game with Southern California.

D., Oct. 9.—(P}— The homecoming spirit flamed pre- maturely at the University of North Dakota Monday night. Without benefit of cheers or mar- tial music, flames consumed a huge pile of timber accumulated for the traditional campus bonfire scheduled Oct. 19 as an event of the alumni homecoming celebration.

HOMECOMING Hard in Preparation for Battle With Ramblers PURPLE TACKLES STANFORD Pitt Out to Avenge Two Severe Rose Bowl Defeats by . Southern California Chicago, Oct. 9.—(#)—Illinois’ foot- ball followers will expect a lot of en- tertainment when the Illini tackle Ohio State Saturday at Champaign, and they very likely will get it. The battle will be Illinois’ only ap- pearance of the season at against a Big Ten foe, the ony other major attraction in the Memorial stadium being the Army game Nov. 3. Also, it will be homecoming, with Red Grange, Illinois’ “Galloping Ghost” of a decade ago, as the guest of honor. Practice in most camps Monday was of the usual easy Monday type. However, in spite of having slammed Indiana about, Ohio State put in its stiffest session of the season. Coach Francis Schmidt stressed ball-hand- ling, trying to eradicate the germ which caused 11 fumbles Saturday. Purdue Primed for Ramblers Purdue, which meets Notre Dame lat South Bend, also worked long and hard as Noble Kizer sought to strengthen the left side of the boil- ermaker line. Notre Dame's lineup also was shifted by Elmer Layden, who again ordered a long blocking session. Chicago, scenting a victory over Michigan in the other conference battle, put in a lot of hard work qn its offense. Limbering-up drills were in order at Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mich- igan, Indiana, while Northwestern, 34 strong, left for Palo Alto, Calif., to meet Stanford Saturday. PITT PANTHERS GIVEN EDGE OVER TROJANS : New York, Oct. 9—()—On the face of returns to date, it looks as though the Pitt Panthers at last are going to avenge those two terrifying Rose Bow! defeats by Southern Cal- ifornia but Jock Sutherland, no doubt, will be prepared for a Trojan comeback in Pitt Stadium Satur- di jay. Pitt has rolled up 53 points against 12 for the opposition in winning its first two games from Ws m & Jefferson and West Virginia. South- ern California, held to a 6-0 score by Amos Alonzo Stagg’s little col- lege of Pacific, was trounced, 19-0, by Washington State. Presto, Pitt should win.

Volk, Linton fullback, smashed over for the touchdown on the second play. Dobler’s kick for the extra point was good. Another touchdown in the second period came when Lauinger passed > Dobler who also dropkicked the extra point. Blore added another counter on a 30-yard return of a punt. In the final period Dobler and‘ Volk each added another touch- dewn. Linton made 10 first downs to Wishek’s one. Balliet, Quast and Bender showed up well in the vic- tor's forward wall.

If the impetuous Jerome Herman izzy) Dean comes through to tame the Tigers in a final attempt, there will be a double-barreled answer— “The Deans”—and consequently no question left to decide as to the most heroic figures of the championship conflict. Otherwise it’s a wide open fight for individual honors in a series that has developed some of the most amaz- ing form reversals of all time. Paul (two-gun) Dean, the only double pitching winner so far, tops the Card- inal ranking list for the time being but the Tigers can point. to no single individual standing out conspicuously among the rest of the American Leaguers.
