PREDICTS VICTORY New York, Oct. 16—Percy Haugh- ton, football coach at Columbia, pre- dicted a victory for his team in the game Saturday with Pennsylvania. “We do not look on football as a | game,” sald the Columbfa coach,s! speaking at a rally last night. “It is war, a battle. We geclared war on Penn when the schedule made up and we have been prepar- ing for It ever since.” * “FLIRTING WITH LOVE” NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16,1924, EVENASTER HIND SOMETINES FALS Second: Guessers Get Chance in World Series (By Billy 5 Even th¢ master minds make mis. takes in baseball, It is a rather interesting experl- ence to sit In the press box and hear the comments of the scribes. Having the second guess is a de- c/ded advantage but I must also ad- mit that I have listened to a lot of very intelligent first guessing in the world series games, As the unusual situations come up it s only natural that the experts should try to analyze them in ad- vance. In the third game of the series I did a little of it myself, The stage was set for a Washing- ton rally, the bases filled, only one out and the Glants' pitchers were parading fn and out of the box so fast it was hard to keep track of them, Throughout the game the Giants' pitehers had been very generous 2 | with bases on balls, always being in 9 the hole. Lack of control gave Washington the big chance in the ninthe Miller Had the Opportunities With the score standing 6 to 4 in New York's favor, a base hit would tie it up for Washington. Tt was fate that Miller, a rookie who had only been in parts of four games, should have been the batter. What should Miller do? Would it be good ball for him to continue to wait out the New York pitchers? Or should be try to get the pitcher in the hole and then hit? There was cohsiderable delay at this point as Pitcher John Watson was summoned from the bullpen ‘in far right fleld, “How will Washington play ft, Bill?" yelled a dozen scribes as Manager Harris conferred with the recruit, “It's a tough spot for a manag- er,” I replied, “two possibilitics are open, wait out the pitcher to the limit and not hit until the count of two strikes force you to, or get the pitcher in the hole and swing on the cripple. ! “If T was the manager I believe I avould have Miller wait Watson out and not hit until he was compelled to. It is very possible that Watson feels the straln and may be just as wild as the other New York pitch- ers. It's worth going the limit on.” Where Experts isagreed Miller took the first one, a very bad pitch, for ball onme. It looked as it he intended to wait the pitcher out. To my very great surprise he 55 |swung at the next one, another bad ball, and popped weakly to third. Watson was out of trouble. Here age a few other spots where the leadin® experts have taken ex- ception: Not playing the outficld in close with one down, score tied and bases filled. In such a case a short fly could be handled and the winning run either held at third or thrown out at the plate. In one game & short fly ball fell safe and decided the game. . Pitching to a man noted as a star in the pinches rather than tak- ig a chance on some one else. This was done with the winning run on second and lost a bail game. No sport offers the opportunities for secondeguessing, and first guess ing, as does baseball. T am learning lots of things from the press box. BARRED BY RADIO . La ' Follette Complains That Des Moines Statlon Refused To Broad- cast His Campaign Speech. Des Moines, Oct. 16.—Before leaving Des Moines today Senator La Follette issued a statement in which he declared that Radiocast WHO, owned by the Bankers' Life Insurance company of Des Molnes, refused to broadcast the meetings of the progressives here last night. “I am Informed,” he continued, “that this station has heretofore broadcast the meetings of both the democratic and republican parties. “This broadcasting station has & monopoly of the broadcasting from this city under a license issued by Herbert Hoover, but dominated by the officials, of the American Tele- phone & Telegraph company on its aftillated corporations which owns the basic patents upon which the radio industry s founded. “The radio is rapidly becoming & most important means of communi- cation, of dissemination of news and intelligence. It is unthinkable that this artery of communication should be controlled by a private monopoly.” A five-foot girl beat up a six foot New York press agent, but the P. A. later declared he had been weak- ened trying to make the weight. TO CONTEST SALE Jefferson Race Track Interest Re- ported Sold—Lawsult Pends.
