BALL CAMPS AS CONFIDENCE. RUNS HIGH BOTH CLASSIC STARTS World's Series Spit to Offset Effect of Injuries When League Champions Meet on Forbes Field for Opener. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 7.—(By The Associated Press) —tThe day of action, long awaited, has dawned. Two mighty baseball teams, Washington’s Senators and the Pirates of Pittsburgh, have come up to the decisive day with injury lurking in each camp, but with a spirit that is calculated to ward off human ailments in the fulfillment of the greatest ambidion any team can know—winning of the world’s championship. A youngster of 28, already veteran of the annual cl sic, leads a squad that has survived the title fire against a manager who has seen ®ervice on many fields and a club that boasts great veterans as well as brilliant youngsters. Stanley Harris and Bill McKech- nie, managers of Washington and Pittsburgh, respectively, have ex- pressed their confidence in the out- come and have named two right- handers who are among baseball's best for the opening engagement. ‘Walter (Barney) Johnson, tall, raw- boned mainstay of the Senators’ staff for a score of years, will enter the contest with an energy born of heart-rending reverses as well as Magnificent victory against the Giants a year ago. He has said that he 4g ready for the new test—just another baseball game for the “Big ‘Train”—yet one of the most impor- tant in his entire career. Opposing him is the only bespec- tacled moundman of the modern day, Lee Meadows, a big man with ® powerful right arm, always clean- ing his glasses when danger pears. Meadows is a constant aid to the youngsters in the infield, comforting in error and praising in exceptional play. ei This opening fray should provide an exceptional pitching exhibition with such as Johnson and Meadows, both of the unexcitable type, defend- ing the Hnes. There have been no overnight changes in the NMenups for open- ing, day, Harris announcing Ruel behind the bat. Goslin, Rice and Joe Harris, with MeNeely, one of the youthful stars of Washington's 1924 victory, are held in reserve. McKechnie depends upon Smith as receiver, - Experts have predicted one of the Braetest outfield clashes of all times, for Carey, Cuyler, Rice and Goslin ate superb In every department of the game, very fast men all. “Barn- hart and Harris are two heavy stickers but lack the leg motion Possessed by their comrades.

Last night a man of 50 years held his place at the bleacher ticket booth to be the first to enter the six thousand seats in center field. The line numbered hundreds at daybreak. They were cold but an enthusiasm that the series has missed for years, goaded them to the attempt and none fell out of the line. Early today the street leading to the bleachers appeared to have been struck by an earthquake for crates and boxes covered the sidewalks and the weary waiters were bundled In overcoats. Vendors did a thriving business in the matter of lunches with hot coffee, Both teams went to the field for practice yesterday, the Senators working for almost two full hours under threatening clouds. Every eligible man was in uniform and at work throughout a peppery drill ordered by Manager Harris. Cove- leskie, one of the-American league's best right handers, appeared to be suffering no ill effects from his re- cent injury and said that he felt able to take his turn on the mound. The youthful manager, suffering from a badly swollen middle finger on his throwing hand as the result of a spike wound, fielded in his usual steady style and appeared to be under no handicap. Peckin- paugh, whose right ankle has again troubled him, capered in youthful fashion about the short field. The Pirates were ready to take the field when the enemy of today had departed but the skies opened and canvas was rushed onto the infleld. A run around the field suf- ficed for the National league cham- pions. Eddie Moore, second base- man, was with them, and said that his injured thumb would be in shape for the series. Pitching selections for the classic, in ofder of appearance, would seem to be Johnson, Coveleskie and Ruecther for the Senators, against Mead Aldridge and Yde for the Extremely mild. 10c and 2 for 25 AREAL PLACE To Get Your Elk, Sheep or Deer AND sport to be out with.

The worry is the kind most coaches would desire. All eight are on an equal footing and the coaches are in a qudndary as to which of them should form the “big four’.

FOOTBALL INSIDE OUT THE? WHY AND HO W OF THE RULES More Pass Technicalities By NORMAN E. BROWN It frequently happens that the player legalized to receive the for- ward pass is “under” the ball when it is thrown but fails to hold it when he touches it. In this case he re- mains the only person on his team permitted to recover or attempt to recover it until it has touched the ground, or is. touched by an op- Ponent. In other words a fellow player cannot aid him in the re- covery of it until it has hit the ground or been touched by an op- posing player. If, after it has been toched by an eligiblo player of the passer’s side, the ball is touched by another player of his side who might have been originally eligible (before the ball has been touched by an- opponent) the pass be as completed. any player of the passer's side who is ineligible to receive it, the pass shall not be considered as com: pleted.” (Tomorrow: Opponents’ rights ‘on passes.)

Batter hits a ground: er to shortstop. ~ The latter is near the base line and the runner on sec- ono starting for third, hesitates in front of the fielder. The latter be- comes confused and makes an er- ror. Umpire rules the runner is out for interference. Runner does not touch fielder or does the ball hit him. T say the runner is not out, ANSWER—The great trouble 1s that the umpire has the “say.” Any, decision of this kind is purely one of personal judgment on the part of the umpire. From the description of the play {t looks as if the runner id interfere. Whether or not he did {t intentionally has nothing to do with it, QUESTION—Is it necessary for a heavyweight to go through a long seige of training to prepare for a fight?
