CUBS, 6 TQ2
Eddie Mulligan in the Role Of Hero
With Four Lusty Swats to
to His Credit.

Chicago, Oct. Eddie Mulligan
finally had his Jay. Scorned dur
ing the season as a mere misfit
who seldom rose to the occasion,
the White Sox third sacker came
through with bang yesterday, eX-
ploding a salvo of four clouts that
nattened the Cubs ana helped to
elevate the South Siders to to
2 victory in the first of the city
series engagements. 1t was the
18th consecutive win the American
leaguers have registered against
their time honored rivals.
For those who, among the capac-
ity crowd Of 17,434, had pinned
their hopes on the Cubs there was
only one bit of consolation. That
came right in the first frame when
the mighty Urban Faber tottered
and run scored. For four innings
that lone tally looked formidable.
The Sox could do nothing with Vic
Aldridge. Then Mulligan broke the
charm with a homer into the left
field. seats in the fifth. After that
the yictors ran wild.

camps of the Big Ten.
Virtually every varsity team !,
the western conference clashed
with the yearlings OF their respec.
tive schools last night, and the 70.
suits brought mingled joy and de-.
preston to the coaches.
At Chicago, Director Stage rave
the yearlings the ball and told
them to hop to IT," which they aid
with SO much energy that they
smashed through the regulars on
line bucks for two touchdowns. A.
second combination of varsity gave
the goal better protection and kent
the youngsters from scoring.
The Northwestern freshmen held
the varsity to three touchdowns in
two hours Of scrimmage, the las,
strenuous workout before the Be.
lott game Saturday. After turning
the ball over to the freshmen eley-
en-, the varsity had little trouble in
breaking up aerial attacks such as
are expected when the Purple
meets the Wisconsin school.
Yost's Wolverines beat the Mich
igan freshmen. z to 0, in a half
game and then ran over a team of
varsity reserves with apparent
ease. The yearlings could not
penetrate the varsity line. but
gained on passes. Captain Goebel,
who is in good condition, remained
out of scrimmage to save his mend
ing knee.
/ Aubrey Devine's Iowa freshmen
could make no Roadway against the
champion Hawkeyes, although the
varsity reserves frequently stopped
the regulars.
Minnesota Improves.
The Minnesota varsity showed a
little improvement over earlier en-

the Gopher yearlings, who used
North Dakota. plays.
Bob Zuppke's Illini were put on
the defense against Iowa plays ex-
emplified by the Illinois Freshmen,
and the Freshmen crossed the line
twice. Durant, injured halfback
was back as a running mate fol
Dawson. The varsity line showed
in tackling and charging.
The Badgers had little difficulty
in routing the Wisconsin Freshies
and made long, consistent gains. On
! the defensive they held the year
lings to a standstill.

HOLY CROSS TO
GIVE HARVARD
AHARD BATTLE
Crimson Remembers
Test Received
Last Season.
BY WALTER CAMP.

tCopyrlght. 1922, by The Argus.)
Harvard probably will receive
from Holy Cross next Saturday a
test very similar to that which
Carnegie Tech gave Yale last Sat
urday. Today's reports from Wor-
cester added to recollections of
what Holy Cross did last Saturday
IN their first game against Provi-
dence college, suggests that the
team has not refrigerated since
last year when Harvard was held
to 3 to 0 score and Boston cal
lege stampeded Al to 0. The one
blot on their 1921 record was the
defeat by Georgetown, % to Z. and
Georgetown in 1921 had a wonder
full eleven.
Howard Jones, according to re-
ports from Iowa, is having trouble
with cripples. The meeting with
Yale is drawing close and Jones
has begun to play safe, lest the
hospital list grows sinister. Locke.
lowa's backfield mainstay, is being
kept on the sideIines in order to be
in condition for the Ellis. Doubt
less the reports OF Howard Jones'
scouts who saw Yale play Carnegie
Tech made the Hawkeye coach
wish he had Aubrey Devine to run
the ends from kick formation.
Once the wisdom of following out
what has been advocated in these
columns. to-wit: not being a one
sport man, is demonstrated in the
Pennsylvania eleven. where George
Sullivan. captain of the baseball
nine, and Voegtlin, captain OF the
basketball team. are backing up
Captain Pos Miller on the varsity
alavan.

Training in double doses will be
melted out to the Rock Island indie
pendents the remainder of this
week. Captain Jimmy Councilman
has ordered his athletes to report
every morning at Douglas park and
after time out for MONDAY repast
they'll hop back into their harness
for the afternoon session. This
stringent training regime has been
laid down by Boss Jim because he
is determined to have the team in
mid-season form for the all-impor-
tant clash with the Staleys at Dou-
glas park next Sunday.
The Staleys! Why. the very name
is uttered with something akin to
awe by every football fan. The
Chicago Bears? That's what they
call themselves this year, but
they're still the Staleys to Rock Is
land. They are the same team
which for two seasons past has
rubbed the noses of the Independ-
ents in the dust. They are the one
and the only team which if Rock
Island succeeds in defeating this
season will mark 1922 in red let
ters on the football calendar.
Is it any wonder that Jimmy
Councilman and all of his high
strung athletes are keyed to the
keenest pitch possible? Mental eff
fort is written all over the features
OF Jimmy as he drives his men
through hours of untiring drill
each day. He knows, and everyone
else knows, that anything better
than the Staleys in the profession

Jim is one Of those fellows who
will leave nothing unturned to
bring victory. b.

New York, N. Y, Oct. 5.-What
Higgins will do next in the pitch
ing line was today's biggest Ques-
ton mark.
The Yank leader put Hoyt in to
relieve Bush, it's true, but the lit
tie that Hoyt did Wednesday
should not affect him for a full
game at once. In addition to Hoyt
there were Shawkey and Mays and
Jones. They are four great pitch
ers, but Higgins realized he must
exert great care in making his
nomination because this peculiarly
constituted team which represents
the American league in New York
needed a victory in the second
game if it wasn't to be pretty near
ly put to rout for the series. If
the Yanks get one Of their pessi-
mistic and misanthropic attacks at
work in their systems it will need
allopathic medicine and a small
charge of nitroglycerine to wake
them up. In the course Of sea-
son they would get over it and the
sun would shine for them again,
but in a series of seven games they
can be converted into the gloom
lest of gloomy Gusses.
So, if the Yanks get lethargic-
send for the gardenias.
Y Defeat of itself in the first game
should actually mean no more to
the Yankees this year than it
meant to the Giants last year. The
so-called moral effect of being beat
en- leaves only the mental impress
sion of failure to win.
The manner, however, Of being
beaten often eats into the brain
like acid into metal.
Hit Nehf Effectively.
Last year in the world series
the Yankees never batted Nehf as
effectively as they did in that first
game Wednesday. Once in 1921 the
Yanks defeated Nehf when they
made only three hits, but the
Giants made only two in the same
game. They scored enough runs
on Nehf Wednesday to have won
any ordinary game of nine innings
! when seven of those innings are
| scoreless for the other side-as
was the case Wednesday.
Then came the reversal of what
happened in 1921. Instead OF pass
ing cut passively with their jaws
fallen and hanging loosely, the
Giants jumped in from behind, and
| with one of those batting rallies
in which everything seems to
break for the batting side. they
banged out three runs and won.
The manner of that defeat will
not give the Yankees any super.
! confidence in which to continue. As
a team they are not attuned to in
; spiration except as they attain il
by their own deeds, as they have
shown on occasions, in a series
to mutter when they should have
been singing.
| Criticism has been made alread,
of Higgins for using Bush in the
first game. That can be thrown

HUecINS PICKS
SHAWKEY TODAY
Much Depends on Ability Of Bob to
Put . Crimp in Attack It
Giants.

New York, Oct. 5.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press-)-Dope, like bowls
of milk, can be upset, as proved by
the nine of McGraw's men in TAX
ing the first game Of the worlds
series from the Yankees, 8 to 2.
Higgins, mite of man who leads
the Yankees, tried to salvage OF the
split lacteal fluid and has nominat-
ed Bob Shawkey for the twirlfng
Office today.
Men called experts declared that
the Americans, with Bush, one OF
the. most highly rated pitchers OF
the season, would be invincible.
Sportsmen accepted that dope and
bet on it. Bush was poked from
the pitching mound by McGraw's
pummelers and now the dope bowl
is upside down.
Bob Shawkey's name has been
heard and applauded during other
worlds series. He is in form, too,
this year. He wore his red under
shirt, just like That worn by Mi.
Bush. But red undershirts neither
win nor lose ball games. McGraw
has chosen Jess Barnes, the rangy
Oklahoman who brought the Giants
out of the depths of defeat in the
championship games last fall, to
work against Shawkey.
Should Shawkey falter, Carl Mays
of the under-handed delivery prob
ably will be called on to relieve
him, while Deacon" John Scott
was told to keep warmed up ready
for action in case he would be need
ed to relieve.
The Yankees. even with Shawkey
at his best, will need to bring to
bear some of their batting ability in
order to win today, said little Hug
gins.
I'VE know" he added, that the
Giants are fighters, and that the
only way to beat them is to wade
in and play their game. Smooth
beautifully working machine, is
by team. But even a good machine
will stop running If somebody hit:
it with a sledge hammer. Wei

With His Educated Toe

most sure to rise, not once, but
many times during the progress OF
the game.
The only player whom Rock Is
land has to match up against
Sternaman's place kicking ability.
is Jerry Johnson. Jerry was kept
out Of last Sundays struggle with
Green Bay to prevent possible
sprain again to the ankle which he
suffered in the contest with the
Moline Indians. Captain Conzel-
man avoided taking any chances of
not having Jerry fit for the epoch
struggle with the Staleys. All this
week Jerry is putting in hours OF
practice at goal kicking and he
should measure up well against the
formidable Sternaman in this re-
spect. It should be duel between
kickers well worth travelling many
miles to witness. There is no ques-
ton but that the kicking will play
an important role in deciding the
ultimate outcome.
Duel With Lauer.
But Rock Island has another
player to compare with Sterna-
mans running ability. This is none
other than Harold Dutch" Lauer,
who by his brilliant game at half
back last Sunday jumped immed-
lately into popular favor. Lauer is
another edition of the former Hi
nois star. A true forecast of their
respective abilities will not be had
until they line up against each
other. Lauer runs in much the
same form and he possesses to {
great degree the elusiveness and
twisting ability Of Sternaman. The
duel between this pair Of brillian'
performers alone should be worth
going many miles to see.
Late Starting Time.
Announcement is made that The
starting time of Sundays game
will be delayed until the finish O
the world series game. This will
permit those fans who desire tt
see the game played on The Argus
player to remain downtown unit
late. The football game will no
start until 80 to As minutes afte,

SDutch' Sternanan beyond
question is one Of the greatest
football players b the game
today. He is the real nenaoe
to the hopes Of the Independ-
ents in next Sundays epoch
battle ut Douglas park. He has
been this ever since 1870, when
tho Staleys began to beat the
Islanders at every opportunity.
But along with Sternanan Is
La Fleur, a giant fullback, who
played such . great game
against the Racine club last
Sunday. La Fleur may Or may
not start against the Indepoad-
ents (Halas has others equally
rs well.fitted for the posltfon)
but, according to all reports,
he's q real ace.
These are only two Of tho
obstacles to victory the Inde-
pendents will have to contend
with. Sternaman, by his abil-
ity to run, kick and pass, Is .
triple threat man in every sense
Of the term. La Flear Is one
of those husky young fellows
who takes particular delight in
crashing head.on into the mix
up and trusting to his bulk and
speed to make q pathway.
Sternaman Is q whole attrac-
ton In himself and IS sure to
attract many fans anxious just
to see him perform. There is
no doubt but that he will try
for goals from the field every
time the Staleys get within the
Independents territory, and
usually makes good.

Fear Mental Effect of Losing
First Game Will Cause Yankees
to Crack IF They Drop Another

into the wastebasket, for had Hug
gins not used Bush, but instead one
of his other pitchers had been
beaten he would have been criticiz-
ed for failure to pitch Bush.
Had Higgins not been so cock
sure Of Bush, the chances are that
he would have opened the series
with Mays, but he, like, all the
board Of strategy which matches
Its opinions around the Yankees,
was positive that Bush could not
be outdcne by the Giants. l. locked
very much like the board of STRAIT
egg was correct until the seventh
inning, wnen Bush was unquestion-
ably touched, but as he got out
Of it cleverly Higgins let him go
on. Then came the tree hitting of
four Giants in succession in the
eighth and Bush went overheard
with three runs charged against
him.
Second Guessers Busy.
The second guessers are insist
ing that Higgins should have TAX
en- Bush out Of the game after the
first hit in the eighth. What a
cowardly game baseball has come
to be when all that you hear in re-
gard to it is why didn't he take
him out?' It's no mans game
which permits of all this substi-
tuition whenever player happens
to be we'll met by a rival and par
ticularly SO pitcher. The fact
that players can be taken out has
made the national pastime" moth
ing but defensive contest in which
the manager who does take them
out is carpeted if he does and the
manager who doesn't take them Out
is "blowed around the block.
1t has made all the players un-
certain of themselves and uncer-
tain Of their fellows and that is
why, In the case of a team like the
Yanks, the particular. manner in
which Bush was beaten will bore
into their craniums with poisonous
effect because it will leave then
with the idea that their best maj
| got it" and may get it again.
Giants Like Shawkey.
Physically, Shawkey is all righ
enough to go ahead. The Giant.
have no fear whatever of him
They have always held that he is {
nervous, over-anxious pitcher, no
able to control to the best the biz
curves which he can pitch and too
high strung to pitch in the bi.
series. They got that impression
from players in Philadelphia. Per
haps a certain manager helped
along when he had no idea tina
Shawkey would ever pitch in ;
world series for the New Yorl
American league club.
Mays can fool the Giants if h,
doesn't fool himself. If he get
petulant he is likely to cross hi
team, his catcher and the worl'
generally. Hoyt can beat tn
Giants if he will stick close to tn
line and not try to play the gam
alone, and if Jones were all RICH
physically he could hand more Il
the New York Nationals than an,
pitcher that Higgins has.

Greb could give him one and still
get a much needed sum in return.
At the same time he could hold his
own title as securely as Benny
Leonard held his lightweight title
after Jack Britton had won deci-
sion over him in a mixed weight
bout last winter.
As for Wilson, he has taken on a
lot of weight in the period of en-
forced inactivity which has been his
lot since New York and other
states barred him out and the
chances are that he could never
train down to the 160 pounds limit
and De strong. Same for Greb.
Harry has been doing a little grow
ing on his own account lately. He
never looked stronger and more
rugged than he did at the Madison
Square Garden Wednesday.
