7 am ewe a v Giant Selection for First Game Not Yet Known. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.— (By The Associated ‘press), The sturdy right arm of Walter Johnson and the port side paw of Arthur Nehf yvill carr yon the major share of the pitching burden for the Wash- ington Senators and the New York Giants in the coming world'n series It is almost an established fact that Johnson will be used tn the firs. game of the series in order that he may rest up for another assignment in the event he is needed to stem the tide of a Giant sweep. McGraw’'s first game pitching se- lection will be cloaked in mystery until the tedms take the diamond for the game but it is believed that Hugh McQuillan will draw the open- ing assignment, opposed to Johnson. Both Johnson and Nehf represent the peak of pitching ‘efficiency of their respective teams. Johnson, playing his eighteenth season as a member of the Washington club, won 23 and lost seven games during the 1924 American league campaign while Nehf, the “ace” in the McGraw deck, hurled 14 victories and four de- feats in the National league. The pitching burden will Hkely fall on the shoulders of the “Big Four” of each team, two left hand ers and two right handers in each quartet. Harris will rely on the slants of Johnson and Marberry, his star board flingers, and Zachary and Mosridge, both left handers. Me: Graw has two star left handers in Nehf_ and Bentley, and two very ef- fective right handers in McQuillan and Barnes, Baseball critics agree that Harrie will use Johnson, in the first game and then again likely in the fourth or fifth, depending upon the aspect of the series. It is Paden McGraw's Hey sto ace” at. F, ee Anand tetauee Fe itiis figured that McGraw will not use Nehf on Saturday, but Mkely save him for a Sunday shot. pf a ee NEW ORLEANS SCHOOL GETS WRONG SLANT ON “NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL BY LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—It would seem that the authorities of Loyola college in New Orleans have an erroneous {dea of what the fume- “tions of the Notre Dame football eleven are. ‘The South Bend team will be in Aflanta playing Georgia Tech and President d’Antoinie, of Loyola, has asked the Notre Dame authorities to “make a two weeks trip of it and drop into New Or‘eans,” where they can remain a week and then play the team of the young New Or- leans institution on the Saturday following. Money consideration is a_ ten thousand dollar guarantee and ex- penses, a matter, it is estimated, of about two thousand dollars. It wil perhaps be brought to the attention of the Loyola promoters that football is not the main interest of Notre Dame University ang that strange as it may seem, the young gladiators are gerlously more or less in pursuit of an education. At any rate, the president of Loyola seems to be under a misapprehen- sion concerning this Atlanta jour- ney of the South Benders, ‘They will not sojourn for a week or so in Atlanta before repairing to’ Grant Fie!d to meet the Yellow Jackets and once this game is played they will have to hurry back to their college to attend classes the following Monday, The intimation is that if $10,000 and expenses are not enough to interest Notre Dame, the ante will be raised. Somehow, one suspects that the Louisianians have got Notre Dame confused with the Canton Bulldogs or some other “pro” eleven. 5 ‘ ————— Polo Matches Expected Today NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Semi-find! polo matches for the Monte Water- bury cup, twice postponed, will be played today if weather permits. The Hurricanes and Orange county will meet in the first game and the Shel- byrnes will clash with the California Midwicks, National open and junior champions, in the second. The final will be played tomorrow. —_—_—_—_ In England first-class racing pig- eons are very valuable. At a recent sale for example, 104 pigeons real- jzed in all more than $18,000. One particular bird alone was sold for $1,126. TO CROWN ne LATEST BOUT PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.—Mickey Walker of Elizabeth, N. J., sitll wears the welter weight crown to- day, having knocked out his latest challenger, Bobby Barrett, Clifton Heights, Penna., last night in the sixth round of their scheduled ten round bout. The champion clearly outclassed Barrett in speed and punching pow- er and was not once in danger, At the opening of the sixth round Walker sent Bobby dewn for a count of nine with a left to the body and a little later ho landed a stiff right to the chin and Barrett went down for the fuli count of ten. oo WALKER LACKS SQUARE DEAL New York Commission Is Criticized for Treatment.

What happened as a result of -hat Moran bout was only what a jot of followers of the game .had wedicted would happen—Leonard ajured his thumb and Walker lost 4 chance to make $140,000. He yot only lost money because of the blow-up of the Leonard fight but 16 lest because he had turned down \ lot of offers to mect other fight- ‘vs. in the intérest of the Leonard ight. Walker, with Leonard, had signed an agreement to fight Dave Shade after Benny and Mickey had met, Now, altho the two have not ‘ought, Mickey is ordered by the boxing commission to box Shade just the same, before boxing any other opponent. And Leonard is not even mentioned by the boxing commission, Can you beat it? There is an ugly story afloat that Walker could have made an easy $140,000 and more by meeting Leon- ard and taking a dive. not named as connected with the pot. Anyway, anyone who thinks he can get rid of money by paying Walker to law down to anyone is selecting the hardest way in the world to dispose of his coin. Mickey is on the level and the man who stays with him has got to be able to stand more punishment than the welter king can hand out. pi A nd Nai FOOTBALL QUESTIONS ADDRESS: Lawrence Perry, Special Football Correspondent of the Casper Tribune, 814 World Bullding, New York.

FOSTER. (Copyrizht, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Oct. 2,—The world series of 1924 promises to be one of the most interesting in history because it will be played between two baseball clubs which have abso- lutely refused to consider defeat in the closing weeks of the season. The Washington Senators, with their 28-year-old manager, “Buck” Harris, are ‘a courageous lot of young men, So are the Giants— though not quite so young in spots —ted by the redoubtable cam- paigner, John McGraw, Washington began showing bulldog brand of disposition way back in spring training. season. Tney were always coming from be- hind and winning in their games down at Tampa. The clubs they beat then tossed their heads and essayed to predict, “They'll find their places when the season starts, all right.” They did find their place, all right—but not where their de tractors meant, ‘Two characterietic and far reach- ing statements were made last spring in Florida about these two clubs that have finished at the top in their respective leagues. McGraw sald: united, they played better and bet- ter ball. Had Washington had a batter or two like Ty Cobb, they would have had the championship stowed away long before they did. ‘The coming world series is going to be ona in which the figure “dope! will be worth mighty little. It ¢ going to be a series in which there may be low score pitchers’ battles and high score batting bees, And it is possible that a game or more than a game may de won by a mis- play. The mental state ts going to have everything to do with the re- sult. There wilk be lots of speed and exciting rallies may be looked for. Young “Bucky” Harrisjs going to have his hands full outwitting the strategist McGraw. If the Washingtons win out it will be a great victory for them— and for Harris., RIFLE MATCH NEARING END CAMP PERRY, 0., Oct. 2.—The its .
