PC. 75 0 303 N Hack Wilson the Chicago Cubs have one of the leading home-run batters of the major leagues, and every time the, short, squat fly- chaser comes to bat in the world series between the Bruins and Athletics, his followers are going to make the parks echo with Wilson is a very colorful player. He is batting .348 and has made 39 homers and 34 other extra-base hits, but he is prone to strike out often, and his career in the series may be somewhat checkered. The Mackmen have a hustling young player to oppose Wilson in center fleld in Mule Hass. Connie Mack purchased him from Atlanta two years ago, and after he broke into the game, when Tris Speaker faded in 1928, Connie never made another change. Haas is not a mighty batter, but he is a good one. However, it is in the field that Haas shines. He has a queer method of catching flles, taking the ball almost on his chest. But seldom does he miss, and only six errors have been charged to him in 132 games. There are few center flelders in the American League capable of covering more ground than Haas, and he is likely to be the fielding “:1{ of the outer guardians during the serles. Wilson has a chance to outbat Haas in the series, judging by performances over the season, unless he is com- pletely blinded by the speed of Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw. But on fielding, Haas can oubstegr;he broad- shouldered Hack, and throw equally as well. Wilson is one of John McGraw's mistakes. John had him once, and Hack played in the world series against Washington for the Giants. But he was farmed to Toledo and allowed to slip away from the New York elub, which is another proof of Joe Mc- Carthy's shrewdness. Haas once had a trial with Pitts- burgh, but that club could not see him. So now the two castoffs will play in what promises to be one of the greatest of all world series. Along the Water Front By Carrol FTER s Summer of uniformly excellent week ends, the last, with its strong northeast winds and overcast skies, came as somewhat of a shock and sur- ise and found many enthusiastic tiacs digging into long closed lock- ers and drawers in search of extra blankets and heavy clothing, and for the first time this season galley fires ‘were kept going for purposes other than Soon will come the time of the year when the chap who all along has been intending to “do something” about keeping the boat warm will begin be- rating himself for failing to do so, and the reek of hastily acquired oil stoves eate the breezes of Gunston and Mattawoman. And with the com- ing of cooler weather we may expect rainy spells and all those little leaks 5o easily forgotten in dry weather will make themselves unpleasantly evident, 50 if you wish to avoid sleeping under blankets and tin cups, get busy right away with seam filler and putty knife. It's a safe bet after such a long dry spell that ollskins also are forgotten and neglected, either dried out so that they no longer are waterproof, or stuck together o tightly that a half hour will be required to wedge one's self within them. If you haven't already done 50, break them out and overhaul them now, for even if you never use them the knowledge that they are in good shape and available will lessen your lnxlp:ty in gloomy weather. ‘Another item worthy of mention is the compass, and the possible necessity for using it. Foggy and moonless nights, when the old familiar lights and marks are obscured, are now to be expected, and a bit of brushing up on onc's navi- gation and equipment therefore is in order. .

Suppose one's boat is lying at Cowarts Wharf, in Coan, for example. The steamer has been observed offshore pos- sibly an hour previous and has been forgotten. Who-0-0-0-0 goes her whistle. One rushes topside ex&cctlnl to see her close aboard and making for the wharf. Instead she will be found making for Bundicks, only her smoke giving a clue as to her whereabouts. A bit later the performance is repeated, and this time she is located at Lake Landing. Another long who-0-0-0-0 and again one rushes topside to find her but a quarter mile at Lewisetta.

Again a who-0-0-0-0 and again topside for a look around. No steamer is visible, but far off across Cherry Point Neck a smoke will indicate her location, probably this time at Lodge Landing, away over in Yeocom- ico. And so it goes through a whole afternoon as she makes the many little wharves and villages—Kinsale, Munday Point, Cintra—whistling her arrival and departure for all the nearby world to hear, finally passing over the horizon for Piney Point and Breton Bay. And_ again, in Breton Bay, one is treated to a strange sight, if anchored in the lower portion. Another of those long-drawn who-0-0-0-0's and one is startled to see the steamer evidently under way through a cornfield, as though on wheels, as she comes down from Leonardtown for Abells Wharf, on Lovers Point.

And to those seeking & yardstick for the measuring of beauty spots where the components are sky, land and water we commend this bay as among the best.

REJECTS AMERICAN - SWIMMING MARKS By the Assoclated Pr LONDON, September zl,—!nenl. world swimming records, submitted by the Amateur Athletic Union of Amer- ica, were rejected at & meeting of the Bureau of the International Swimming Federation today on the ground that they were not submitted within the prescribed period of three months from the time they were made, It is understood that all these rec- ords were made last year. Thus far the authorities have not made public what records are involved. J. T. Taylor of the United States rec- ommended certain alterations of the rules regarding the breaststroke, but these were not agreed to. It was decided that there will be no curtailment of swimming programs at future Olympic games. Also it was de- cided to recommend that the swimming programs at the next Olympies in Los ‘Angeles should take place from August|last 1 to August 8, 1982. After considerable discussion concern- ing the advisability of limiting the tours of amateur swimmers, the bureau de- cided to insist on strict adherence to the existing rules and to ask for cer- tain powers of control and investigation in case of need.

The report from Great Falls says that the Potomac is clear at that place, and the river is clear around Washington and below. No reports have reached us about any small-mouth bass bei ing caught, but several big-mouth beauties have been landed in the Lower Potomac. Last Sunday the Potomac Anglers® As- sociation, local chapter of the Izaak Walton League, held its annual Fall fishing excursion at Chesapeake Beach. ‘The outing this year was unfortunate in that it met with adverse weather conditions. There had been a strong northeast wind blowing all during the week and on last Sunday it blew per- haps & little harder. Noah Hazzard, captain of the fishing fleet at the Beach, did not want to risk taking the anglers out in the Bay, but finally con- sented to go out a short distance. Just a few small fish were landed and the prizes of some of the donors were re- turned to them as no fish in that par- ticular class were caught. Bad weather is one of the things the lnfilel‘ has to contend with and cannot help. If our memory is not at fault, this organiza- tion met with practically the same con- ditions last year. 're were about 90 enthusiasts on hand for this excursion and from reports over two-thirds of them did not catch a fish. 'ODAY the Atlas Sports Goods Co. is giving its_annual fishi excur- slon to the Beach. A s Lnfll & p.m. - ter conditions will await the anglers to- day than prevailed last Sunday.

These anglers landed 180 trout, blues, King William perch and pan rock.

Secon: ‘malletm IN CHESS CIRCLES BY FRANK B. WALKER. NE_ often hears the question who is the best chess player in the District of Columbia? This is not easy to answer. ‘There are several players who are very near the top, but I do not be’l‘l:v‘: there is any oumndmg player W generally noofin as supreme. ‘There is the brilliant A. W. Fox, whose chess playing partakes of the Prench style. He lived for several years in Paris. Then there is V. Sournin, strategy. L 8. Russia and is & ?l!mlld player, re- sourceful and sound. N. T. Whitaker is a most aggressive player, with thorough knowledge of the game and good position judgment. N. S. Perkins is a thoughtful, far-seeing player. J. W. Byler delights in a complicated situation, where he can work out a win series of moves. G. E. Bishop is ughly up on the openings, and has good understanding of positions. ‘When thess top-notchers meet in team matches, as has happened two or three times, 8 system is devised by which the players are switched around, and it cannot be determined by the line-up who is the best player. Usually the man at the top-board is recognized as superior, but not so in the matches mentioned. ‘The question given does not involve the matter of the title of District chess champion. Often the best players never enter a tournament or play a match where that title is at stake. In 1880 a Dr. Jones was recognized as the best. of the local chess club. In 1893 a tournament was held here to settle the question of District cham- plon. Frank P. Libbey offered a cup as . It was won by F. M. Wright, James E.

He held it until 1927, when he relinquished it, in order that an- other tournament for the title might be held by the local chess club. believe all the strong players in the District were invited to take part in this contest. First prize and title were won by F. B. Walker. At the ization me of the chess unu% City clu%s ques- m o© | tion of District champion came up, and |some doubt was expi as to who was_entitled to that honor. The title holder contended that the title was won in the tourney of 1927, that there had been no_ subsequent tourney or match in which the title was involved; that he still held the title; that if there were players who did not want to enter these tourneys, they should mnot refuse to recognize the winner of the tourna- ment as the District champion. ‘The rules governing the 1927 tourney contained the following provision: ““The winner of this tournament shall be declared District champion for the year 1927—and for any period subse- quent thereto, until his title shall have been lost through defeat or non-partici- pation in some future District cham- pionship tourney; or through defeat in a private match.” ‘The title holder has been approached by two parties on the subject of play- ing a private match for the title. The first time was nearly a year ago when Mr. Byler proposed playing a match at the City Club.* This plan was not ac zeptable, as the holder was then a mem- ber of the Capital City Chess Club, where the title had been won. Last Spring, Mr. Bishop proposed that it be merged in & match of two games up to settle the title of tournament champion of the City Club, Messrs. Bishop and Walker having tied for that honor. That proposition was not ac- ceptable either, two games up being regarded as inadequate to settle the question of District champion. Messrs, Bishop and Byler are each now proposing & match. There prob- ably are others who would like to con- test for the honor. If a tournament, with suitable prizes, could be arranged, Mr. Sournin, former District cham- plon, and others might be induced to compete. In the absence of such a tournament, the _titleholder suggests that Messrs. Bishop and Blyer and others who desire to g’hs for the title, play private matches etermine which one shall play him for the title. ‘The Barcelons, Spain, tournament is under way with 15 entries.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC DAILY SBAMTONPM FOURTEENTH ap K STREETS “Slats” Was Mack’s Nickname As a Kid Player 55 Years Ago BY RAYMOND A. HILL. HILADELPHIA, September 28.— He looks at you squarely and steadily from eyes as blue as the sea, eyes kind but. penetrating. As those eyes, set beneath shaggy 1brows, gaze into yours, he takes your hand with a friendly grasp. “Glad to know you, ‘Slats’,” hardly would be the right thing to say upon being introduced to Connie Mack, who is to lead the Philadelphia Athletics into the world series with Chicago. But “Slats” he was to those boys with whom he received his base ball baptism 55 years ago in East Brookfield, Mass. Cornelius McGillicuddy then was 12, and he played ball whenever he could find time to get away from the shoe factory where he was working, From this kid beginning Mack fought his way steadily through base ball wars and base ball politics until finally he got the Philadelphia franchise in 1901, when Ban Johnson decided his new Americal League would invade the East. On that day began a new era for ball ?lnyerl Other managers might storm, uss and fume at them, but Connie Mack chose to be more of an adviser and friend. Always eager to help the other fellow he never chided a young player in angry tones for misplays, but quietly corrected him when they were alone. Other players, men who never wore the uniform of the Athletics, soon came to know Mack and to regard him high- ly. They often went to him for ad- vice, and still do. Repository for Troubles. “Every year players from other clubs come to me with their troubles,” the 67-year-old manager sald. “Most of these fellows have been in the game a good while, and figure they are about through in the majors. They are mis- taken, for a player usually quits big league competition five years too soon.” Young fellows seek Mack's advice daily, sending letters from all parts of the country. “Every one is ambitious to succeed,” sald Mack, “and that's why I try to answer them all. A word of kindness often gives the youngsters the confl- dence they need to stick in the low class minor leagues and fight to im- prove themselves.” “The great” Shires, almost friendless recently after a fist fight with Lena Blackburne and Lou Barbour, found a comforter in Connie Mack. Shires, first baseman of the Chicago ‘White 8o0x, had been barred from Shibe Park by the club officials. With a police- man at his side “Art” espled Connie as the Athletics’ manager was on his way { to the fleld entrance. “Can’t you fix it for me to stay in the park, Connie?” Shires pleaded. “So far as I am concerned you may stay,” Mack replied. “But Blackburne and Barbour want you out of the park, so I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry.” ‘Then, placing his hand on Shires’ | shoulder, Connie said: { “They have two strikes on you, { boy. Don't let them get you down. | . The downcast look left Shires’ fi His shoulders squared as he said, * be_in there swinging again, soon.” In these championship days Mack is being tered by men wanting world serfes tickets, aufographs, photographs, old hats and base ball jerseys. So Con- nie has haa his. home telephone “plugged,” and won't answer the door bell or the telephone until after the series is over. Mack arises at 7:30 every morning, and has breakfast with his children. Earl and Roy Mack, sons by a former marriage, have homes of ‘their own now, and Mary has entered a convent. Mr. and Mrs. McGillicuddy still have a large family at home, however, with Connle, jr., and the girls, Rita, Ruth and Betty. Mack never is so busy he won't stop to greet old friends, autograph base balls, have his photograph taken with the groups of children he invites to the park every dnY as his guests. These children _usuaily are from orphan asylums, Boy Scout troops or school. Mack is an outstanding figure on the bench, as he waves his scorecard to and fro. The card records every ball pitched. If the umpire errs and the A’s suffer, you never hear Mack pro- ! test. Only twice in his long career— and he is the only man who has man- aged a big league club .continuously since 1its organization—has Mack come excited and argued with the um- pires. Ty Cobb was the center of both storms. Not the slightest detail of the game escapes Mack’s keen attention. A mis- take by an opponent is noted with as ‘much care as one by an Athletic player. A small black notebook Mack carries in his vest pocket records very player's weakness and he can tell you why Jones can't hit a high ball inside or why Brown goes better to his right for ground balls than to his left. After the game Connie will stop to advise a pitcher what to throw to so- and-so when they meet next, or to pat his shortstop on the back. He might ask why Simmons tried to bunt instead of hit behind the runner, but such in- stances are rare. For Mack has con- fidence in his men. Mack neither drinks nor uses tobacco. He objects to his players drinking, but he doesn't care whether they smoke my FORD Visiting HOOVER FIELD Monday, Sept. 30th, to Monday, Oct. 7th, Incl. ‘The plane will fiy at regular intes every day. For charter trips call Nat. 6945. or not. “The boys know what's best for them,” he says. On the other hand, most of the boys believe Connie knows what's best for them. Some of them may not be church members, but they attend religious_services during the road trips of the A's. Seeing Connie attend church every Sunday has gotten the boys into the same habit. Mack's personality is so impressed upon his players that they'd go the limit to do anything for the “old man.” Jimmy Dykes said recently: “I be- gan my major league career in Phila- delphia, and I hope I end it here. It would break my heart if Connie ever sent me away.” - (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- paper Alliance.) COOKE HOLDS HITTING LEAD IN ASSOCIATION By the Associated Press CHICAGO, September 28 —With op- portunities for increasing batting av- erages reduced to a matter of four days, Dusty Al Cooke of St. Paul clung to his slender lead over Tony Cucci- nello of Columbus in the struggle for the American Association individual batting title. Averages, which include Wednesday's games, gave the Saint slugger a mark of .363, with the Senator sensation 4 points behind at .359. Marty Callaghan, another Columbus sticker, was & point behind Cuccinello. Other regulars fol- lowing Cooke, Cuccinello and Callaghan were Rosenfeld, Toledo, .352; O. Miller, Milwaukee, .345; Grigsby, Kansas City, .343; 'Tucker, Kansas Cil 342; Seeds, Kansas City, .342; Simons, Louisville, .341, and Rogell, St. Paul, .339. Bubbles Hargrave, manager of the second-place Saint:, had a mark of .369, but had been at bat only a little more than balf as many times as Cooke. The Saints appeared certatn of the team batting championship, finishing the week with a mark of .307, the same as a_week ago. Toledo remained second with .299, also the same as last week’s average. Americus Polll, St. Paul's leading pitcher, still had the largest collection of victories, 22, but had dropped 9, and was topped in the percentage column by his teammate, Archie Campbell, who had won 14 games and lost 3. The strikeout leadership remained the prop- erty of John Brillheart of Minneapolis, who had_fanned 131, to 120 for Fred Schupp, Indianapolis southpaw. Indianapolis assumed the team field- ing leadership, breaking a tie with the champion Kansas City Blues. The In- dians had fielded for an average of 968, while the Blues had amassed an average of .966. The Toledo Mud Hens clicked off 13 double plays during the week and brought their total to 198 for an unassailable margin over Mil- waukee, which was second with 163. .

Ingram, director of athletics at the Naval Academy, is about to urge the restoration of the heavyweight class to the competitions held under the auspices of the Inter- collegiate Boxing Association. The heavyweight class was eliminated last March by the action of the execu- tive committee, but Comdr. Ingram and others in_ touch with intercollegiate bexéng feel that a serious mistake was made. Comds. Ingram will write to the rep« resentatives of the different colleges composing the assoclation and urge that action be taken soon enough to insure heavyweight representation in the matches which will begin early next year. Comdr. Ingram and others who sup- port his view hold that the elimination was unfair to those who weigh more than 175 pounds and desire to engage in competitive Xlnfil; that it elimi- | nated the most popular bout from in- tercollegiate competitions, and that it is contrary to the principles of other sports, none of which eliminates a con= testant on account of his weight. During the finals of the Intercole legiate Boxing Association at Pennsyl- vania State College last March the ex- ecutive committee, without previous discussion of the subject, took the action which eliminated the heavy- weight class. The committee provided that in the future the classes should be at the 115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165 and 175 pound weights. One reason given for the change was that the Intercollegiate ‘Wrestling Association would take the same action. This body, however, has not eliminated the heavyweight class.
