World Series Notes

The Sox smiled. Even Eddie Cicotte
and Claude Williams. those two ace
hurlers whose colors were lowered and
trampled in the dust of Redland field
by the stampeding Reds, grinned a bit
in the taxis that hustled them to their
hotel For in the dark clouds of dis
appointment and the chagrin of air
castles demolished, the Sox cherish
the hope that the tide will turn on
their home grounds.
The heavy artillery of the White
Sox has been silenced so far by south
paw pitchers. Today they will get
their first chance against a right
handler. To the Reds it seems to mat
ter little from what side of the anat-
omy the Gleason hurlers shoot their
slants.
Claude williams lost a tough game.
He couldn't have won, however, with
Old Slim Sallee pressing the brakes on
the Sox scoring machinery with both
his feet. williams lost his own game

The death blow to his chances was
struck by Larry Kopf with a vicious
triple that broke up the game.

ROUSH And KOPF, HEROES
Reds Pair Irresponsible for Second
Victory in the Worlds Series.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Oakland City.
Ind, and New Britain, Conn. are in
the spotlight today. Two of their sons
jumped into prominence as Cincin-
nati's heroes of yesterdays world
series battle
Oakland City is the home of Roush,
who followed up his first days world
series fielding stunts with another
crop of super-plays at the expense of
the White SoX and also clouted in the
first run of the game.
New Britain is the home of Larrup-
ing Larry Kopf, the turn-around hit
ter, who plays short for the Reds and
who clinched yesterdays game with a
triple that scored two runs and did
some fancy fielding also. His work
in the middle of a double play that
stopped the Chicago bid for rally in
the ninth was especially sweet.
These two players divided the spot
light of yesterdays triumph. And to
of both having been turned down as
n. G. by American league clubs.
They were not good enough to play
in that circuit, but they, with the aid
of their team mates, were good enough
to down the johnson leagues best
team.
Roush has put in two wonderful
days in the field in the big series.
He is one of the rovingest center
| fielders that ever roved.
And, whisper it gently, it was the
White Sox that pronounced him too
! slow for fast company when he was
in the clutches of the American
! league.
He's one chicken that has come to
roost, even if he doesn't do another
{ thing in the series.

HE'S LIKE A FLEA

Despite Small Size, He Is Max

STAR OF THE SECOND SQUAD
He Is Playing Great Game at
Halfback.
Old DOpesterS Predict He'll Be
Good for Counts.
STAR OF THE SECOND SQUAT

There is a sman-a very small-ne-
gro lad on the Washburn football
squad whose ball advancing antics
promise much for the amusement OF
the spectators at the Ichabod games
this fall. The youngsters name is
Butler and he is built much on the
order of a man size toothpick.
1t is an honest fact that his waist
will hardly measure good twenty
five inches. He is just above five feet
six inches tall and looks as tho he
would tip the scales at around lis
pounds. But Butler is a football play
er-every single diminutive inch of
him.
He is the star halfback of the sec
ond string squad-relegated to this po-
sition not so much because he is not
good enough for the first squad as
because he simply does not measure
up to varsity standards OF weight. He
has speed to burn-is speedier even
than Palmatier.
Good Interference Man.
Butler is an able interference man
and is one of the two or three back
field men on the entire varsity and
second string squad who always takes
his man out of a play and keeps him
out.
But it is at advancing the ball that
Buffers light shines the brightest
Butler, given the ball, does not run
He skitters. He is as elusive as a
flea, and just about as hard to down
1t is the expectation of old grads who
have watched him that several Wash
burn touchdowns this year will be
made by Butler, surnamed "Skitter
Butler.
1t is the strategy of these old grads
that Butler be inserted in the Wash
burn lineup just about the time the
Blue has advanced the ball to the
eight or ten yard line.
Fool the opponents.
At this point the opposition usually
stiffens and gets set for a plungine
offense The grads think that per
haps if Butler were shot in. given the
ball, and allowed to exhibit his skit
tering proclivity. that Washburr
would stage a real surprise and the
speed attack would result in the
| touchdown where the plunge nigh

Chicago White Sox for the third con-
test of the world series-the game
which virtually will decide whether
the American pennant winners are to
be serious contenders for the cham

handicap during the remainder of the
series.
The two teams, accompanied by
some two thousand Cincinnati rooters

a dozen trains, the Reds confident

honors and the White Sox determined

playing on their home grounds.
Despite the fact that the White Sox,
