I've heard Connie Mack called “The Tall Tactician,”| “The Grand Old Man,” “The | Beloved” McGillicuddy” and the “World's Greatest Manager.” But‘ # remained for a Philadelphia fan| to say it right, and with just the proper tremulousness. “He’s a wonder, Connie is,” said the fan, as he clutched a pillar in the lobby of a hotel. “Ilove him-—— the old sweetheart!” | Heinic Groh, one of several hundred ! players who have turned sporting writers | ! all of a sudden, is working for 2 Bing- hamton paper covering the series.

And, to be frank, he agrees with them. Lefty Grove, Mickey Cochrane and Al Simmons are the Athletic players who're | going with the all-star base ball team to | Japan. When Grove was asked if he'd care to make the trip, Mrs. Grove was with him. She spoke before the south- paw did. She cried: “Oh, Daddy, let’s— please!” Lefty waved her aside and said | gruffly 'm the head of this famil; So he is, but Mrs. Grove goes with him to the Orient. | Pinch hitters have been a bust thus far.

Jim, thanks | to Wilson's third-base throw and Eddie Collins’ war dance across the diamond, found himself on first base despite his three strikes.

Comics and Clas sified WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1931 -Wilson5s Slip-Up Continues To Interest Experts as They Puzzle Over BY GRANTLANP RICE. HILADELPHIA, October 5—With the third world series game under way, various delegations are still discussing the Wilson episode in the final round of the second battle where Moore swung at a third strike, Wilson took it on a bound and then whipped the ball to third base to head off Foxx. This third strike came with two out, where all Wilson had to do was tag Moore or toss the ball to first. Wilson still insists he had forgotten about the third strike and was trying to head off Series Chances ball, which is livelier than the Na- tional League missile. With this livelier ball the Athletics expect Simmons, Cochrane and Foxx to respond with some of the heavy artillery fire that broke up the series a year ago.

BY JOE VILA. HILADELPHIA, October 5.— Today President Herbert Hoover was to be among the 38,000 or more who will be packed into Shibe Park as the Athletics and Cardinals, even up after two days of tussling and two more days of travel and rest, meet in the third game of the world series. News that the President would attend this game was received with acclaim by athletic rooters around the town. In the first place, they were grateful to think the President would share with them the joy of seeing a world series game. In the second place, Mr. Hoover, they contend, is the most illustrious mascot the Athletics ever seems that Mr. Hoover has seen the Athletics play five times—twice in world series games and three times during championship seasons—and has yet to see Connie Mack's team lose. Big Chief an Inspiration. Oddly enough, when he was here last year Grove and Grimes were the performing pitchers and Grove pulled through that game in front, although he was hit hawler than his sturdy rival. Mr. Hoover, the fans believe, had something to do with that. Other dignitaries, national, State and city, will be in boxes_adjoining the flag-draped inclosure where the Presi- dent and his party will sit. Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Mayor Harry Mackey of Philadelphia, Director of Safety Schofield, members of the Senate and House; of the State Legis- lature and the City Council will mingle with less distinguished fans and prob- ably bellow as loudly as their obscure neighbors if the Athletics should win to take the edge in the series—as nu- | merous gentlemen of a speculative turn of mind are willing to wager they will.
