True, re- sounding plaudits of the multi- tude may not be known, but,| however slim may be the crowds that watch the opening contests, however unimportant may be these games, actually as the first c:ashes of the year they have a sgnificance that would be unac- cooded them later.

But there are three sets of brothers on the Catholic University squad this season in the Gearty boys, the Nallys and the McVeans.

Bible this year as he penders his chances of winning a third Big Six Cenference foot ball championship in his fourth year as Cornhusker mentor. The best material he has ever had for his style of play, a fast open run- ning and passing attack, brings the smiles. The search for a quarterback and a pair of guards, along with a| streruous nine-game schedule, brings the worries. | Nebraska will play its five Big Six | enemies and Minnesota. Iowa, Pitts- burgh and Southern Methodist “With that schedule we might have our best team and still lose several games,” Bible says. “But we will have our most diversified attack this year.

He scored last vear to add grim tragedy to the great water classic—so the customers will be watching that turning buoy intently this year. Sport fans are that way. They like to see the hairbreadth tilts out there with | Davy. This year's race promises to be as thrilling in pursuit of time marks as was last season's.

BY PAUL MICKELSON, Aszociated Press Sports HICAGO. September 16.— Joc MeCarthy'’s marauding = Yan- kees were whooping it up with a somewhat one-sided world series discussion from their dugout at Comiskey Park when a lithe, somber- looking mate edged out of the noisy crowd. b It was one of their stronges§ talking points—"Lefty” Gomez, ace-‘Southpaw of the American League champions. A glance showed that he was glad to get away. “Not much use of me saying anything about this world series,” he mumbled. “The only post base ball series I've ever seen or played in was back in 1928 in And then I = was just a relief pitcher.” e\ JOPE, he doesn’t know anything about a world series, but the world scries will know a lot about him befoie he’s retired that soup bone,” chimed in the old “war horse” of the Yankee coaching staff, Cy Per- kins. “What a lot of pitching those Cubs are going to see!” Lefty doesn't throw soft ones to the opposition batsmen. Neither does he toss soft soap in his reluctant discus- | sion of what's going to happen when he | tangles with the Cubs. He frankly ad- | mits that he’s all excited and isn't sure | Whether he'll be a bust or a success. | “I wish this series was on right now and it was my turn to get in there,” he said wistfully. “I'm puzzled about it all, and am afraid I'll be so nervm‘%‘ at the start that I'll walk the first twi batters. | 4] CAN'T realize it's true because after all I'd be thrilled just to get a peek at a world series from the | bleachers. At the start of this season | I promised myself a trip to the world | series even if we didn't win the pen- nant. It's been one of my biggest ambitions. But now I'm in it and a| lot_may depend on my every pitch.”| ‘Gomez, whose slim left arm has won 24 games for the Yankees in their merry sweep up the American League flag pole, has seen the Cubs play but| one game and that was in 1930, when | his present hoss, Joe McCarthy, was at the Bruin managerial helm. “They belted a left-handed pitcher hard that day, and as I left the park I thought how lucky I was not to be pitching sgainst that crowd.

TLANTA, September 16.—The Chattanooga Lookouts have their first pennant, the South- ern Base Ball Association has another row and the folks who pay for the show have leerned a lesson about the subtle art of ballyhoo as results of the wild-eved finish of the Dixie League's season. Chattanocga won by percentage points over fight which keyed base ball interest in the pot-likker belt to a fevered en- thusiasm seldom equaled even in the boom days when the fans sat in box seats instead of bleachers The Lookouts will pl n f the Texas League in the Dixie series and the old South is for the home town. but it is split badly over the method Chattanooga used to capture the a margin of 2 Memphis in a | league’s title. Joe Engel did it. “Col'nel Joe of Tenn-o-see, suh.” who came down from Washington, transformed Chattanooga into a red-hot base ball town, called his shots, beat the league's directors in a battle of maneuvers and shook the staid loop with his high-pressure bally- hoo and press agenting Chattanooga and Memphis were tied | virtually all the way down the stretch and it soon was apparent that Memphis had an advantage because its schedule called for one more game than was on the Lookouts' bocks. So Col. Joe, a silk-topper perched jauntily on his head. asked John Martin. president of the league, for permission to replay a game with Knoxville which had ended in a tie at dark Martin s2id “Okeh.” fans howled and Tho; . the boss man of that c asked the league directors to ove the president "They did and the game was called off So Col. Joe got in touch with Com- missioner Kenesaw Landis an ruled that the game was on ag: Chattanooga won it and the penn. The Memphis club argued that if th tied game were replaved, then m others tied during the season should hook his head and his ruling stuck Memphis fussed and raved. Ct tanooga celebrated and the base b experts reckoned the victory of Cha: tariooga would stimulate the national game in little cities. Engel bought the Lookouts years ago. “I'll win & pennant in 1932,” then. He did He built a new sta up with canary three he said m and dressed it birds to entertain | the ladies. He wore silk toppers and drove an old automobile. He called nis club a circus—and it was. A Negro nondescript band played for the crowds and Joe whooped it up by kidding every other club president with taunts and jibes. The fans ate it up and paid and paid. The league was suffering its worst financial vear, but Col. Joe packed them in and explained to the league that folks might count pennies in tough years, but they would spend quarters to see a good show. The close of the season was perhaps the most dramatic in the league’s his- tory. Harry Kelly of Memphis pitched and won two double-headers in a k and his fellow-clubman, George Grainger, pitched a no-run. no-hit, no- -react -base classic the same week.
