Speaking of Sports Interest locally in the present world series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Ath- letics, is greater this year than it has been for some years past. This is attested to by the talk along the street, the remarks about the betting being heard all over and especially by the crowds who gather around radios, playographs and billboards. Yesterday, during the first game, a sizeable crowd gathered at the Herald to watch the play by play account being depicted on the player board. Between the hours of 1 and 4:30 o'clock, a total of 330 telephone calls was handled over the Herald switchboard. Interest will increase as the series progresses, especially if the Car- dinals show the same power as they did yesterday and are able to turn the tables on the Athletics. Coach George M. Cassidy of the New Britain High school football team announces today that he is trying to arrange a game with South Manchester High for Saturday. Soush Manchester is willing to play here tomorrow but does not wish to play Saturday afternoon. Arrange- ments for the game Friday may be made, The High school team needs plenty of action before the important games of the season roll around. The open dates on the schedule are harmful rather than helpful at the beginning of the season. Still, ef- forts of the coach and other ath- letic authorities to secure games for the local team are not meeting with any great success. The board of governors of the Int dustrial Baseball league have been divided into committees to make ar- rangements for the banquet for the P. & F. Corbin championship team. James Lynch was selected as chairman of the entertainment com- mittee with Joseph Jackson, David Beloin and John Storey as his aides. Harry Linnehan is named chairman of the banquet committee and he will be aided by Willlam Forsyth, W. D. Murdock and James Murphy. Members of the Corbin team will be presented with leather jackets as an appreciation from the league while the team as a whole will be presented with the league trophy. This should be one of the most successful social affairs in the his- tory of the Industrial Baseball league due to the healthy condition of the treasury, due, in a great measure, to the generosity of local fans. - TRADE SCHOOL NOTES P The New Britain State Trade mchool opened its annual inter-de- partmental gentleman's football league yesterday at Walnut Hill park with three games being played. The first contest was between the Electriclans and the Draftsmen. ~The wire pullers easily defeated the pencil shovers by a score of 12 to 6 in a fast clean game. The second battle was between the Carpenters and the Masons. There was no score until the last minute of play when a long pass from De Simone to Johnson resulted in a touchdown for the wood butchers. The final score was 6-0. In the final contest on the pro- gram the Machinists took the Print- ers into camp by the score of 6 to 2. There was some difficulty as to the result but the referee settled the argument. These games will be held once a week at Walnut Hill park.

More than 32,000 fans sat through nine innings of the first game of the serfes yesterday, saw Philadel- phia, the home team, win 5 to 2; witnessed the flight of two home runs over the left field fence; gazed upon ‘the president of the United States who was there with cabinet officers and others of high place; and they didn’t utter a full throat- ed roar the entire afternoon. There was no rooting section. A few people did break down now and then and clap their hands deli- cately. There was no brass band, instead music came from phono- graph records played over an am- plifier. Even “Hail to the Chief,” played when Mr. Hoover entered, and the “Star Spangled Banner,” which brought all those thousands of people to their feet, heads bare, were ground out by a talking ma- chine. The pop boys didn’t shout their vwares, but talkml in low tones as it they were intruding on some one's quiet. There wasn't a fist fight any- where; not even when a foul ball went into the stands and a dozen fans scrambled for it. Some of the fouls even failed to inspire & scramble. The old pennant raising ceremony | was missing. When it came time to raise the pennant some ground keeper just went out and ran it up the flag pole. Nobody cheered. Not half the people in the park knew anything was happening when President Hoover tossed out the first ball. Most of them saw it bounding across the fleld and and thought it just another ball roll- ing around. Mr. Hoover smiled and | seemed to do his best to liven things | up but not even the president could | do it. About the only touch of color all | afternoon came from Babe Ruth and later from Mickey Cochrane and Burleigh Grimes. Ruth, bigger than anybody on the fleld and looking still bigger in his great tan overcoat, puffed stout cigars, and displayed boyish enthusiasm. He chewed gum between full lunged puffs at his big perfecto and generally acted like a human being in love with baseball. Cochrane and Grimes made their contributign when Grimes struck out Cochrane. Mickey took a couple of steps into the diamond so Grimes could hear and cast a half dozen words which must have been pretty well chosen, straight at the pitcher who had humbled him. Grimes knows some words him- self and he cast them right back at Cochrane, who then was strolling in the direction of the Athletics' dug- out immediately benecath President Hoover's box. What was more, Grimes placed his right thumb at a right angle to his right ear, his left thumb at a right angle to his left ear, and wiggled his fingers. It not only was a very derisive gesture, but it was right in the di- rection of the president of the Unit- ed States. Cochrane knew it was not directed at the president, however, and so he countered with a stiff glare down the nose and the inci- dent was declared closed. But it was a demonstration of what a versatile person this Grimes is, because he can twiddle his fingers at his ears and say some pretty powerful Saxon words of one and two syllables, all at the same time, . The victory of the Athletics yes- terday seemed to have put a little more life into the city of brotherly love and last night there was more noise, gaiety and clatter on the streets than there was at the ball park. This afternoon’s game may find the fans clearing their throats, at least, even if they don't shout. But one gets a feeling from Yyes- terday's game—from the quiet of the crowd. from the whining phono- graph records, from the machine like system on which everything is run—that baseball is falling a Vvic- tim to the American trend towdrds mechanization. It makes one think that perhaps mechanical pitchers serving up motorized baseballs to automatic batters, for the amuse- ment of fans watching via television, may be just around the corner. On the other hand, maybe its just the “economic depression.” GOING T0 ROBINS Lefty O'Doul, Philadelphia Outfield- er and National League Batting Champ, May Be Traded. Philadelphia, Oct. 2 (UP)—Lefty 0'Doul, Philadelphia outfielder Who led the National league in batting in 1929 and was among the first five during the past season, is slated to play with Brooklyn next season. 0'Doul told the United Press today that he expected to land with the Robins. Ray Moss, southpaw pitcher; Clise Dudley, right hander; several other minor players and a bundle of cash probably will be shipped to the Phillies in exchange for O'Doul if the deal goes through as expected. ) STRESSES BACKFIELD DEFENSE Norman, Okla., Oct. 2 (#—Back- field men this fall must be good de- fensive players or they will not stand much chance of being regu- lars on the Oklahoma University team.

(P —Represen- tatives of 28 states today signed a convention guaranteeing financial assistance to a state which is the tim of attack by unother nation. The ceremony took place in a plen- ary session of the assembly of the League of Nations. ignatories were Australia, Lith- uania, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Great Britain, Bulgaria, Cuba, Den- mark, Spain, Estonia, Finland, Ethi- France, Greece, Latvia, Nor- way Holland, Peru, Irish Free State, Persia Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, and Albania. The assembly paid tribute todav to the memory of Simon Bolivar, the great South American liberator, ia adopting a resolution of com- memoration presented by all of the Latin American countries. In this connection the group heard the wish expressed that the United States and Mexico would some time become members of the league. This suggestion came from Giuseppe Motta, the Swiss delegate, who compared Bolivar to George Washington and said he was a fore- runner of the league. Motta Applauded M. Motta expressed the hope that the Argentine, Brazil ad Costa Rica soon would return to the interna- ional organization, and drew ap- plause as he added:— “I hope that Mexico, and indeed the whole American continent— north and south—will at a later time join us in peaceful union of the whole human family.” Others who lauded the memory of the South American patriot were rcpresentatives of the Spanish- American countries, of Japan, Por- tugal, Spain and Rumania. After thes resolution was adopted Nicholas Titulescu, the Rumanian who is president of the assembly, remarked that from this time Bolt- var, hitherto a great figure of the Americas, becomes a part of the common heritage of mankind.

Senator Brookhart, republican, Iewa, saig he belleved Mitchell's interpretation of the power act was | incorrect, but regardless of this he proposed to seek an amendment to prevent the commission from waiv- ing control over non-navigable tributaries of rivers which are gov- ernment controlled waterways. Brookhart said Senators Frazier and Nye, North Dakota republicans, had agreed to join him in question- ing the commission us to what policy it intended to adopt under the opinion. This was rendered on | a protest by the Appalachian Elec- | tric Power Company to terms of a| license for a development on the| New river, tributary of the Kana-| wha, in West Virginia. Meanwhile, F. E. Bonner, the commission's executive secretary, said the Mitchell opinion substan- tiated claims of certain states that the power group in the past had ex- ceeded 1ts jurisdiction, encroaching upon state rights. Brookhart said the opinion “ap-| parently gives the commission au- thority to destroy its own power.” At the commission offices it was said the opinion affected six out- standing licenses and other pending| applications. | WON'T RUN IN RACE New York, Oct. 2 (M—Gallant Fox, champion three-year-old, willI not run in the Hawthorne gold cup | at Chicago on Oct. 11.
