By The Associnted Press New York, Oct, ~Official an- nouncement of the batting orders for tomorrow's opening game of the third | suceessive all-New York, world series s upgu.-.l late today, | The probable announcement will follow the finul “polishing-up” prac- tice sessions this afternoon as the | Yankee Stadium and the Polo | Grounds, All Must Come Out To these workouts Managers Mc- Graw and Huggins have summoned both the well and the injured or il members of their squads and those in the latter classification will be called upon to go through their paces under the watchful eyes of the rival man- agers and the club physicians to es- tablish their fitness or unfitness to en- gage in tomorrow's play. The majority was present at yes- terday's practice, when the Gilants tested out the-Yankee stadium while the Yankees scampered about their former stamping ground the Polo Grounds, but several of their num- ber, notably Wally Pipp, the Yankee first sacker; Bob Meusel, the Yankee outfielder, both of whom have in- Jured ankles; Pep Young, the Giant outfielder, and Jack Scott, the Giant pitcher, who have been suffering from heavy colds took things much casier than will be possible one day hence. Doubt About Pipp Wally Pipp smacked the ball hard while at bat and walked without any perceptible limp but did not do any #uick starting or fast running and Bob Meusel followed his example. The latter is expected to round into shape before the start of tomorrow's game but there still is considerable doubt as to whether Pipp will hold down his regular assignment. Should Wally be unable to play, Babe Ruth will draw the first base job and, according to Manager Hug- gins, Harvey Henrick, not Eimer Smith, will fill the right field berth. Henrick has been clouting the ball with considerable regularity of late whereas Smith has experienced a slump. In the event Meusel is un- able to start Hinkey Raines, the for- mer Penn State football star, is said to be the choice of the Yankees' manager. Predict Good Weather Doubt as to the immediate avail- ability ‘of the ill or injured regulars, appears to bhe the only annoying fea- ture for the club owners for local weather forecasters promise ideal con- ditions for the series games of to-| morrow and Thursday and see no positive signs of inclement weather for the remaining dates of the series.

Martin weighed 200 pounds and Burke 176, BY ROBERT C. ZUPPKE Foothall Coach, University of Illinois, Author of “Football Technique and Tactics.” A sound football system teaches its quarterback and captain that the punt is its greatest play, and encourages the quarter to punt when in doubt; that on every perfectly executed punt, backed up by a well-drilled team, the ball is given to the opponents in ex- change for 40 yards of valuable ter- ritory. Should the opponent's receiver prove himself a trouble maker, it is much better to kick out of bounds, but, on the other hand, should the re- ceiver allow himself to pe easily wor- ried and tackled, it may prove profit- able to encourage the punter to kick the ball as high as possible so as to increase the chances of a fumble, for which the system has prepared its ends to' be on the lookout. On defense the system teaches its quarterback to signal for a fair catch if the punt is high and the opponent's ends close, or, if he can catch it on or within the opponent’s thirty-yard line, in which case the rules allow a choice between a free kick for goal and a scrimmage. It teaches its men what to do with a loose ball, the result of a punt that is allowed to roll, and it advises the | quarter when to call for an outside kick, and when to expect one from the opponent, and it asks him to re- mind his forwards which opponent they are to take, should the op- ponents line up ostensibly for such a kick. The quarterback is taught when to call for a drop or place kick in prefer- ence to a ruaning play or forward pass, how to protect the play on of- fense, and how to break it up when on defense. The system should prove to the team that as a rule it is lar better than it is to receive the ball at the start of the game and that a team should not choose to receive the Kick-off unless seven points be- hind with approximately five minutes left to play. A team guided by such takes less risk than one upon the whims and guesses of average quarterback.

Charles H. Ebbets, owner of the park has undertaken a new seating arrangement which promises to in- crease the capacity and at the same time give the customers a better broadside view of the game. The grid- iron will run from home plate to cen- ter field instead of parallel to first or | third bases as in previous seasons, The hoosier squad will reach New York next Friday for an afternoon workout at the Brooklyn park. They will be quartered at the Westchester Biltmore club at Rye where the club polo field has been put at the disposal of Coach Rockne for extra practice. Up at West Point the army already has begun the grand putsch of gruel- ling work in preparation for the en- counter with a 30 minute mixer head- lining each day’'s work. Reports that the hoosier eleven is under weight and green are not taken seriously there and drill masters of the squad are outspoken in criticizing their men for slow and bunglesome tackling. It has become apparent that some- one must be developed in a hurry to replace Don Storck, three stripe vet- eran at vight and whose leg injury improves so slowly that it is consider- ed certain he will be unable to ap- pear against Notre Dame. Intersectional interest in Saturday's schedule is shared by Colgate and Ohio State who play at Columbus, Ex- perts say Dick Hartow has the best Colgate team in years. Yale, which confronts the Universi- ty of Georgia four days hence and Princeton, matched with Georgetown, both concede they have work to do. Yale is appearing on the practice grid with two new faces in the squad as a result of the facully's removal of the disqualification placed on fresh- men last spring.

NATIONAL GRITIG PIGKS THE YANKS Davis Thinks Giants Strong But Hugmen Better By RALPH & DAVIS Bporting Editor, Pittsburgh Press Pittsburgh, Oct. 9.—Although Pitts- burgh Isa city represented only in the Natlonal league, It has been my good fortune to sce both the Glants and the Yankees in action this season, so that my opinion on the outcome of the worlds series between the two New York clubs may carry a bit more weight than otherwise. It appears to me that the Yan- kees' big chance lles just ahead. If they are ever to triumph over their city rivals, this looks like their big chance. A triumph for the American league entry in the autumn classic is not an unreasonable prediction. Better Balanced I belleve the Yanks are a better balanced outfit than the Giants. However, I cannot concede them an easy trlumph. The Giants will battle over every inch of ground, and are likely to prove much more formi- dable than many critics anticipate. John McGraw never piloted a team of quitters. When it comes to grit, his 1923 combination Is right up to the old standards, otherwise they would never have won the pennant, They have had a bitter fight of it, The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates have given them a hattle all the way. At times the Giants wav- ered, but McGraw always managed to bring them through in the crises. Up to Hurlers World series games generally hinge on the pitchers. Big-score con- tests are the cxception, rather than the rule. 7The twirlers are keyed up to the highst pitch, and deliver mor often than do the reputed star hitters. Yanks Have Edge Taking this into consideration, I believe the Yankees have a big edge on the Giants. McGraw doesn't have a single twirler who ranks with at least two or three slabmen on the Huggins' roster. A perusal of the National league records for the season to date reveals the fact that in less than half of their fames have the Giant twirlers gone the distance. It has been very clever maneuver- ing on the part of the manager, rather than outstanding work on the part of the pitchers, which has pulled the Giants out of the fire. On the other hand, the have a staff that is superlative. other club in elther league has many first-class artillerymen, Hoyt, Shawkey, Jones, Pennock Yankees No s0 In and (Continued on Tollowing Page) It Happens In The Best STANDS BACK OF one PLAYER'S CHAIR TRYING TAND WHAT 'To UNDERS ITs ALL ABOUT OBSERVES FouR ACES IN ANOTHER PLAYER'S HAND AND NEARLY MAKE S REMARIK | Both driven by Murphy, but not until| | after each had lost a heat, | next two in 2:01% cach, T4AT HURPHY'S MOUNTS ONCE MORE GOME IN WINNERS But Merviman and Mrs, Yerkes Are Forced to Go Three Heats, Lexington, Ky, Oct, 0,—Close fin- ishes, split heat contests and the suc- cess of the Murphy stable were the features of yesterday's Grand Circuit card.
