BY JOHN B. FOSYER. 3 EW YORK, September 28.— N Base running has been almost ignored in an- alyzing this Yankee-Cub world series. After the lesson taught last year it would seem that more attention might be paid to it, but the popular mind | is attuned to batting. That was the case in 1931 ‘When two fans met on the corner prior to the Philadelphia-St. uis world series and began to 'discuss it, with others entering the argument, the gathering al- most invariably broke up with | the boys agreeing that the Ath- Jetics had “the old sock.” But it was base running that started the landslide which sent the Athletics jto defeat a year ago. Their nemesis was Pepper Martin, who batted valor- busly and ran bases like a scared cayuse. Speed in base ball is priceless, but Epeed doesn’'t always mean gocd base Side Lines [ With the Sports Edstor. I BY DENMAN THOMPSON. EW YORK, September 28. —Assuming the weather man would refrain from butting in on the world series party scheduled to get under way today the base ball- minded populace of the coun- try should be pretty well wised up by dinner time this evening regarding what to expect anent the outcome of the struggle between Chicago’s Cubs and New York's Yankees for the championship of the universe. It long has been an adage among those who follow the fortunes of contenders for the diamond diadem that the out- fit to win the first game safely can be pegged ultimate winner. There have been notable ex- ceptions- to this rule, just as there are to all others, but in the main it has held good and I can recall no series in recent history where it s more likely to prove a dependable criterion running. Steal second or third in the world series at thie time when it starts a Tun on the way and it is as good as a single. It changes the position play of the fielders and gives more concern to the pitcher. HEN Martin got away with that | | first steal of third base in 1931 i __the St. Louis. players were not | ?osmve that Mickey Cochrane was a ittle wild in his throwing, but when they tried some more and discovered that he couldn't cut them down as he | had in the past, they took more edge off | first base and were ready to run any- thing to the limit. There is one player on the New York | team who can keep Gabby Hartnett, the Chicago catcher, bobbing around like 1rying doughnuts in hot lard. His name | is Ben Chapman. He is the only natural base stealer on both teams. Kiki Cuyler is fast and has a good stolen-base rec- ord to his credit, but he hasn't the cun- ning, the adeptness, the oily way of get- ting away from bases that is Chapman'’s by natural skill. Of all the players of the Cubs and Yankess there is none who is as likely to put a little oil of Martin into the games £s Chapman. Maybe he will never have a fine chance, for the Chi- cago catchers have been advised that they can't keep one eye shut when Chapman is cn bases. 'OLLECTIVELY, the Cubs are fleeter than the Yankees, but Chicago hasn't one player who is so likely to upcet the equilibrium of any one = s Chapman. Until 1931, base running in recent years had not been given much scien- tific attention in world series games. Teams had resorted to an attempt to bludgeon their way through, beginning about 1922. Players had fallen into the habit of believing that the bat was the mightiest thing on the ball field and | managers lost some of their falih in | one of the best arts of base ball—base | running. Last year Martin may have stoien third base under instructions from Gabby Street, but Street says he gave Martin his own option of the methods that he should use when he started to scoot to fame. That put the Athletics squarely on the defensive and they Tailed to recover their poise in that par- ticular game, nor did they regain the confidence they had in Cochrane before the series began. NEWARK OFF WINGING | IN BUSH LEAGUE SET| Takes First Battle of ‘Little Series’ With Minneapolis by 11-t0-0 Count. By the Associated Press. EWARK, N. J, September 28— Youth, speed and lots of vitality appeared to be the essentials of s winning base ball club today as the‘ Newark Bears and Minneapclis Millers | laid plans for the second game of the little world series. | Col. Jacob Ruppert’s Bears added to- gether all of those qualities yesterday | in pounding the American Association ! champions into submission to the tune | of 11 to 0 and were ready to repeat their stunt in the game scheduled to- night under the lights at Ruppert Sta- dium. The starting time is listed for | 8:30 pm. Being one up in a first four of seven- game series was a comfortable place for Manager Al Mamaux's forces, yet the International League pennant winners were just as anxious to increase their advantage by another triumph today. Harry Holsclaw, a speed-ball right- hander, will be the choice of Mamaux in the second start of Newark’s initial little world series competition. Don Brennan earned a major share of the credit for the first victory yester- day. His pitching was well nigh faultless as he blanked the Millers with Jour hits. ~ The crowd, which numbered 6,339, ‘was disappointing to the Newark au- thorities, but is expected that the teams will play to a capacity house tonight if the weather is clear. BUSH’S OLD FANS LOYAL Cub Pitcher Gets Telegram From Town That Started Him. GREENVILLE, Miss, September 28 (#)—The old folks at home have sent a “wish you well” to Guy Bush, Cub itcher. % The lanky Guy came out of the tall timbers nine years ago and broke into professional base ball here. He was born at Shannon, Miss., and was signed by the Greenville club of the Cctton States League in 1923. Jack Doyle, Cub scout, saw him pitch 8 dou- ble shut-out victory one day, and made a deal for him. His purchase price was $2,500. A telegram, wishing him success, was sent today by his admirers here. Bush's teammate, the sensational ‘Warneke, came from across the river in Arkansas. And Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals, who shared a lot of pub- licity with them this year, calls the i'ttle Arkansas town of Russellville his ame. than this one. After all the juggling of fig- ures, comparisons of records and analyzing of statistics has been carefully done—and dis- carded as so much wasted ef- fort—this set of contests re- solves itself into a question of whether Chicago’s generally admitted edge in pitching will be offset by New York’'s unques- tioned superiority in hitting. T should be borne in mind that box work rightfully may be rated as at least 70 per cent of any set limited to seven games, as is this one, al- though it probably would not class so high over a full season. With Ruffing, slated to fire for the Yankees in the opening engagement, and Gomez and Allen expected to follow them in that order, they figure to be at a disadvantage in the first games, regardless of whether Bush, Warneke, Root or Malone are selected by Man- ager Grimm to toil for the Cubs. - That is to say, at a disad- vantage in pitching, for the Yankee top trio have not ap- peared to advantage in the closing weeks of the regular campaign, while the Chicago stand-outs have shown no falling off in form. On the other hand, the New York aggregation of fence- busters so far outclasses the swatsmiths of their rivals that it is a question to what extent one will counteract the in- fluence of the other. The Yankees are a redoubt- able crew when it comes to swatting that pill to distant and unguarded corners of the field—and beyond—but they can be checked effectively, upon occasion, as the Nationals demonstrated during the cam- paign which ended last Sunday. Should 'a couple of the Bruin boxmen, say, Bush and Root, or Warneke and Malone, “get hot” during this limited set and enable the Cubs to get the jump on their adversaries, the cannoning expected from Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Chapman et al, might be produced too late to stave off defeat in a block of engagements where the first club to register four triumphs brings home the bacon. Yankees in Brief ABE RUTH enters his tenth world series just after recovering from an attack of appendicitls, but some of the Big Bam's heaviest slugging has been done after one of his numerous ailments. Lefty Gomez, ace of the Yank box corps, this season crowded out Robert Moses Grove of the Athletics as the premiere scuthpaw of the majors. Lou Gehrig, slugging first sacker, | carried the brunt of the Yankee at- tack during Babe Ruth indisposition. He's tough to get out with men on base. PFrank Crosett! jumped from the Coast League to the shortstop post on the Yankees. The Yanks have dropped the 38-year- old Herb Pennock in “spots” this sea- son. Great control of his southpaw slants has given him around eight victories. Cleveland Indians grow sad every time they think of the heavy slugging this season of Joey Sewell. Yank third baseman. Joe was signed by the New York club in 1931, after his release by the Indians. Bill Dickey of the Yankees is being called by experts the successor of Mickey Cochrane of the A’s as the best catcher in the American League. ‘The Yanks last year shipped Johnny Allen, sensational rookie hurler, to To- ronto to cure a tendency to lose his temper at “bad breaks.” He cured it. Red Ruffing is one of the big right- handers the Yanks will shoot against the Cubs’ heavily loaded line-up of right-handed hitters. He has been one of the American League’s best this year. Ben Chapman, Yankee left fielder, was shifted from the infield by Manlffl' Joe McCarthy. The fastest man in the majors, his only weakness is handling ground balls. 'BAMA FINDS SOUTHPAW.

NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. Base ball woods are full of | young men from the coun- | try who made good in the| big city. But there is only one, Manager Joe McCarthy of the| Yankees, who never did make the major league grade until his play- | ing days were over. | | _Today the stocky, quiet man from | Buffalo, with the lantern jaw, level | eyes and fine sense of humor, is chal- | lenging the world and the Chicago | Cubs in the world series, the only man | in base ball history ever to manage | pennant winners in both the Naticnal and American leagues. | He took over the Cubs, the team he | now opposes, in 1926 after piloting | | Louisville to two pennants in the | American Association. _The Cubs were | then in last place. By 1929 he had them on top of the league, driven up by the dynamic power of one of base ball’s greatest leaders. | ‘The Athletics crushed his club, win- | ning four out of five games, and the disappointment of William Wrigley, | owner of the team, was so great that | he let McCarthy go before the 1930 season was over, installing Rogers Hornsby in the driver’s seat. The death of Miller Huggins, mite manager during the Yankees' heyday. and the subsequent failure of Bob Shawkey, caused Col. Jake Ruppert to turn to McCarthy. | Joe took over the Yanks in 1931 and finished in second place, over a dozen games behind the Athletics. ‘This year, with almost the same per- sonnel, he not only picked up that def- icit, but added another dozen games. | McCarthy was born in Germantown, | Pa. 44 years ago. He played sandlot bali before hiking off to Niagara Uni- | versity in 1905 and bobbed up playing | third base for Dover in the Peach | League in 1906. Afte one more year | with Wilmington and Franklin in the | Tri-State League, he moved on to the Toledo Club of the American Asso- | ciation. For three years, and part of 1911, Joe toiled at second base before shift- ing to Indianapolis. Then he dropped | | to Wilkes-Barre, and in 1913 took over the club, 25 years old and the youngest manager in organized base ball. | Buffalo, in the International League, | took him in 1914 and the following | year the Yanks considered his pur- chase as a second baseman, but the option never was exercised. Joe signed with the Federal League, but the cir- cuit fell apart before he got into action. He moved to Louisville and stayed there until the Cubs called him. Hitting weakness kept McCarthy out of the big leagues. He never got up to .300, although his fielding always was of the best. He once knicked .276 with Louisville, but that was his high- water mark. Facts About Cubs HARLEY GRIMM, Cubs' first baseman, is one of the four | playing managers in the 1 majors. The others are Fon- | seca of the White Sox, McManus of the | Red Sox and Terry of the Glants. Mark Koenig, Cub shortstop, has one of the best arms in base ball. He tried pitching for a time before released by the Detroit Tigers. Johnny Moore, Cub center fielder, was developed on the team'’s Los Angeles | “farm.” The battle with the Yanks will be the fourth world series for Burleigh Grimes, veteran spitballer. He trimmed the A’s twice for the Cardinals in the series last year. — | Perce Malone, big right-hander, will | be battling for vindication in the coming world series. He dropped two games | when the Cubs were routed by the A’s in 1929. Stanley Hack, Cub utility infielder, | jumped from a bank clerk’s job to a job with Sacramento of the Coast League last year. | HARLEY ROOT, Cub right-hander, finally rcgained form this year after his prolonged slump following his single-handed effort to pitch the club into a pennant in 1927 when he | ‘won 26 games. Bill Jurges, whose career was in- terrupted by a bullet wound from the gun of 2 feminine admirer, shares the Cubs’ shortstopping with Koenig. | Ton Warneke, sensational young righthander of the Cubs, owes much of his success this year to the tutelage of Zach Taylor, veteran receiver. Taylor | cured the youngster's wildness. | Woody English, Cub third baseman, | formerly was one of the National | League's best shortstops. He was shifted | to third when the club failed to find | a satisfactory man for the spot. Guy Bush, righthander with the long sideburns, was the Cubs’ only winner in the 1929 series with the Athletics. He has been picked to start the pres- ent series. | e i OR the second time in his nine-, year major league career, Kiki Cuyler, Cubs’ rightfielder, this sea- son has fallen below the .300 mark in hitting. He regained his stride late in the campaign after being handi- capped by injuries. Billy Herman, Cubs’ second baseman and lead-off man, leads the club in total hits and has scored twice as many runs as any other team member. Gabby Hartnett, the noisy receiver, heads all the Cubs in point of con- tinuous service. He joined the club in 1922 after a year with Worcester, Mass., in the Eastern League, Riggs Stephenson, Cubs’ leftfielder, rsonally attends to retaping his bat Emdle just before e time each day.

EW YORK, September 28.—Fail- ure of the major league clubs to exercise their privilege of se- lecting players has put a tem- porary quietus on the cries of anguish which have risen from time to time from minor league clubs which ob- jected to giving up some of their best players for low prices through the draft system. Where it almost caused a rebellion of the minor leagues against the rulers of organized base ball a couple of years ago, the draft this season saw only four players drawn into the major leagues. At the annuel draft meeting last night three pitchers and an outfielder were chosen from four class “AA™ clubs. N 1931 a list of 15 drafted players was considered unusually small, compared to the 20 to 25 men chosen for several seasons before. The players drafted were: By the Chicago White Sox—Joe Hev- ing, pitcher, from Indianapolis. Won 15 games and lost 9 in 1932. By the Detroit Tigers—Frank Nekola, | pitcher, from Newark. Won 6, lost 11 | in 1932; played also with Torontq By the Chicago Cubs—Lynn Nelson. pitcher, from Seattle. Has won 21 and lost 15 So far this year.

Series Managers Say Usual Thing EW YORK, September 28 (#).— Here's how the rival managers locked at the world series be- tween the Yankees and the Cubs, starting today: Charley Grimm, Cubs: “Natural- ly, I think we’ll win. I won't at- tempt to say how many games it will go. My men aren't afraid of the Yankee hitters. We have con- fidence in our pitchers.” Joe McCarthy, Yankees: “I think we'll win, all right.

EW YORK, September 28.— One of the “unknowns” of Connie Mack’s famous freshman class of | managership, will lead the Cubs into the world series. It was 'way back there when Mack was seeking far and wide | for young blood with which to | reconstruct his self-dismantled Athletics that Charley Grimm spent a season on the Philadel- phia bench. “Bench” is used figuratively, for there were so many freshmen that year Connie didn’'t have enough uniforms, and many hopefuls had to sit in the grandstand awaiting a wigwag signal | from Mack to come down and get in the game. Grimm’s first contact with major league ba, though, was as a pop ven- der in Sportsman’s Park, St. Louis, while in his very early teens. Big Ed | Konetchy, Cardinal first baseman, was | | | | his icol, and Grimm gives credit to Konetchy and Branch Rickey for early tutoring that made him one of the niftiest fielding first sackers the game has known. The off-field talents of “Jolly Cholly” are probably move diverse and exten- sive than those of any big leaguer. He is adept at mechanics, at painting, either barns or canvases, could get by in vaudeville as an entertainer with banjo, guitar, harmonica or piano, and |is a first-class amateur prestidigitator. | | | | BY GRANT! ‘The scenes are set for base ball’s greatest melodrama, a wcrld series, | always one of the headline features of any sporting year. ‘(he stout defense of Chicago's pennant winning Cubs meets the blasting power of the Yankee attack.

BY BILL KING, Associated Press Sports Writer. EABODY, Mass., September 28 —Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, who has dominated women’s golf for the last decade, today found a sturdy stumbling block in the path lead- ing to her sixth national cham- pionship. This brilliant competitor, con- | sidered unbeatable until a year ago when Helen Hicks removed her crown at Buffalo, drew Mrs. C. S.
