FULL SQUAD OUT
ATST. AMBROSE

A full squad greeted Coach
Brindley Oh the gridiron at St Am
brose college last night and all the
men appeared to be in good condl-
ton after Saturdays tussle. The
mentor stated that he was satisfied
with the showing made by his men
in Saturdays game, especially that
of the line.
Much of the time this week will
be spent in perfecting the back
field, so that the Saints will have
as strong an offense as defense.
The main fault of the backfield was
milling and poor interference
Mckenzie was the only man in the
back who gave good interference,
while Bouquet was the only one
that handled the ball without con-
siderable fumbling.
Brindley has been training his
charges on the use of the forward
pass as he expects to use the open
style of football to a great extent
this year. Several men were used
at the wing positions Saturday and
the member has not yet decided who
he will use for regulars. Murphy
and Green worked well together
and look like the best combination
but Green will probably be needed
worse at his regular position OF
right guard.
The Junior-DeWitt game that
was scheduled for next Saturday
has been cancelled. The Dewitt
management writes that they have
better offers for this date but it is

NOT TAKING ANY
LIBERTIES WITH
BABES BATTING

New York, Oct 5.-George Her
man Ruth, chief circuit ciouter OF
the universe, and owner of a sea
sons batting average of 1878. en-
tered the worlds series today with
a lowly hitting record for title ser
les in which he has participated
The famous Yankee 0utfielder was
a Boston Red SoX pitcher in the
title games against Brooklyn in
1916, and also an incidental out
fielder in the contests with the
Cubs in 1918.
In the first series he failed to get
a hit. Against the Cubs, his hitting
mark was 200.
But these figures, made before
Ruth became a heavy hitter, will
not be used by Manager McGraw As
a guide to his pitchers as bow to
twirl to the Yankee home run
champion.

bridges until l come 20 Them" the

ed to pitch the ball Quinn started
to swing at a very deceptive spit
ball, which broke rather low. He
tried to stop his swing at the half
way mark. believing the ball would
be low. Unable to do so, his ex-
tended bat came into contact with
the ball, low dropping liner that
just cleared the right field stand
being the result. That hit broke
up the ball game.
l once saw Ping Bodie drop to
the ground to avoid a wildly pitch
ed ball, only to have his bat which
was extended high in the air, come
into contact with the ball. and a
lazy high fly which just fell into
the lower stand was the result.
Back in 1911 / saw Frank Baker
crash a low liner into the right field
stands at the Polo Grounds and tie
up a world series game with the
Giants. The hit came in the ninth
inning. The Athletics had been
held scoreless by the great Mathew
son up to that time. 1t was ter
rife hit, but would have hardly
been more than a two-bagger on
any park other than the Polo
Grounds. The Giants were later de-
feated in extra innings.

more f1uke home runs at the Polo
Grounds than on any other major
league park I have ever worked.
Right here l want to say in be-
half of Babe" Ruth, that he has
profited only slightly as result
of such a condition. l have it on
the very best of authority, that
only three home runs made by him
at the Polo Grounds this year have
been of a fiuky nature. That is,
balls that just cleared the stand at
the shortest point in right field,
hits that would have been outs on
the ordinary ball park.
These unusual conditions at the
Polo Grounds very often result in
a game being decided other than on
its merits. AS matter of fact a
four-run lead is nothing to brag CT
at the Polo Grounds. I have seen
such leads wiped out almost in a
twinkling of the eye, by a couple
of passes, an error, and then a high
fly to right or left, which barely
cleared the stands, while the fielder
stood watching the course of the
ball, in a position to make an easy
catch, had he the room
During the last few years 1 have

home runs possible made at the

new RECRUITS
ARE RECEIVED
BY iowa COACH
HaWkeyes Drill Long and Hard for
Important Games With Notre
Dame and IIIini,

Iowa City, Iowa, Oct Slight
new candidates for the Iowa foot
ball team reported to Coach How
ard Jones this week to help the
varsity round into shape for the
all-important battles with Notre
Dame and Illinois. Although late
in the season the recruits are heart
lily welcomed. since Coach How
ard Jones has been working thus
far with the smallest squad on a
conference gridiron. and has, in
addition, been placed under a con-
siderable handicap through injuries
to several players and unexpected
ineligibility of two dependable line
men.
Iowa has settled down to two
weeks of the hardest work that
ever faced an old gold squad. With
the Catholics and Illini to be met
on successive Saturdays, Iowa must
round into mid-season form if by
any degree of earnest, consistent
practice the team is to win these
encounters.
Against Notre Dame Iowa will
be at a decided disadvantage in the
strength of the reserves of the two
teams and also in the matter of
previous experience this season
Coach Rockne's men have played
two practice games to Iowa's one.
and Rockne is blessed with substi-
tutes for most of his positions who
are just as good as the first eleven
which will start the game.
Work with the forward pass is
featuring Iowa's practice this week.
especially in a defensive sense,
since Knox was able to put over
two touchdowns against Iowa last
Saturday by the aerial route Be
ginning Tuesday the Hawkeyes lin
ed up for practice scrimmage and
the expectation is that a tussle each
afternoon will be on the program
until Thursday.

since all the games are to be play
ed at the Polo Grounds. That Is all
very true, yet it is far from pleas
ing to have some tall fly, that on
the ordinary grounds would be al
easy out turned into a Polo
Grounds home run. That happens
time and time again during the
summer.
l am of the opinion that the
Yankees have q slight advantage in
that all the games are to be play
ed on the Polo Grounds. Any man
in the New York American lineup
is liable to get home run be-
cause all of them take free swing.
The Giants have a number of slug
gers, but 1 am sure the advantage
on this score will be decidedly in
favor of the Yankees.
The short confines of the stands
in right and left field go directly
back at the pitching. When work
ing at the Polo Grounds, pitcher
can never for a minute get care
less with men on and groove" a
ball He is always working under
restraint.
1t is simply murder to pitch in
side to Ruth or Meusel
1t is my hope that if a home run
plays j part in the result of any
game, that it is a legitimate hon.
er. not some of the excuses l have
seen registered at the Polo Grounds.
