New York, N. Y, Sept. 29.-There
is no direct comparison to be had
today between the players in the
world series of 1921 and those who
are expected to start in 1922 at the
position of third base.
One of them, Dugan, never has
had any world series experience.
The other, Groh, played in the ser
les of 1919 for Cincinnati, the SER
les in which the Chicago White
Sox were defeated and which re-
suited in the worst scandal in pro-
fessional baseball.
Both of these third basemen
have a great deal of what is COM
monty known as temperament. Du-
gan suffers more from this than
the other player. Temperament, so
far as they are concerned in this
instance, is simply state of mini.
If both of them are feeling well
disposed toward themselves and
the world. both of them are likely
to play third base better than it
was played last year. Each of
them has the ability to so play it.
Groh is player who at any
moment is likely to do something
of the most sensational character
in fielding if the opportunity pre-
sents itself. If there is a hot line
hit to be caught and runs to be
saved when the game is trembling
like a cup OF jelly and apt to sink
down in a sprawling mass, Groh
is the sort of chap who will dive
head foremost and come up with the
ball. II he is fooled by hit in a
game it is more probable to be one
that is crawling along to his left
side than it is to be anything else.
In his haste to get such hits some
times he overruns them.
l.. Dlgan Powerful Thrower.
He is an accurate thrower Is q
rule although he has by no means
as powerful an arm as some of the
third basemen Of the past. Dugan
should throw better than Groh and
especially on the long distance
throws where the third basemeo
must station himself back Of the
line to get the ball.
In playing for hunts Of which

share than Dugan the former will

Chicago. Sept 2s.-(By the As
ISOLATED Press)-Balked by the
Red Sox in the first game Of the
series, largely because of the stel-
lar play of three of their former
teammates, the New York Yankees

elusive mathematical certainty"

Needing only 4 single victory to
clinch the championship, the Yam
KEGS failed yesterday in their at

today against the White Sox after a
lay-off of several days. A defeat
for the Browns would automatical-
ly eliminate them from the con-
test, regardless of 'how the hugg-
men fare.
Should the unexpected happen,
however, and the Browns tie the
Yankees for the pennant, the rules
provide that play-off Of three
games would be necessary to de-
eide the championship. These
games would have to be played in
neutral cities of the league, prob
ably Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston Such an Q. entuality would

Nounk Returns to Fold;
Plans Are Made for Big
Parade Saturday Night
By IL. HUGHES.

Eddie Novak arrived today. He
resist the temptation any
longer to get back into . green jer-
sey. Rejoice, all ye fans, for It's
a happy piece of news.
Eddte's arrival was quite unex-
pected. He had previously indicat-
ed he could not return to Rock Is
land and give up q lucrative posi-
ton in Minneapolis, but when ar
rangements were made for him to
be here half of the week, he drop
ped q line that he was On his way.
And he arrived before an answer
could be filed.
Novak puts the finishing touches
to the backfield. The problem is
no more, ladies and gentlemen.
Behind such a powerful line as pre-
scented by the Independents, Eddie
should scintillate as he has never
scintillated before.
Eddie's arrival was a most happy
surprise. Hopes that he would re-
Join the club this year had grown
mighty dim. In fact, Eddie has
been working out a month with the
Minneapolis Marines. The only out
giving him a chance to join the
Islanders is due to the fact that
he is working for Rock Island
man, Tommy Pearson. Tommy in
sisted that Eddie take up where he
left OF last season. and is show
ing wonderful spirit by releasing
him for half of the week. All fans
will agree that tie arrangement
which gives Eddie q chance to be
here several days before each game
is a perfectly good one.
Big Parade Tomorrow Night.
So much for Eddie. Now for
plans in connection with the big
opening game Of the season, Sun
day, when Green Bay, one of the
strongest in the national football
league, will be the opponents of
the islanders.
Forming at 1880 tomorrow night
at Fifteenth street and Third ave-
nue.. hundreds of fans in automo-
biles will parade through the bus
mess districts Of Davenport and
Moline, bearing red lights and
plenty of noise-making instru-
ments, with the accent on the noise.
Members of the Independents will
head the procession. The more
the merrier. Plans are to make
this the biggest and grandest pa

game. The idea in mind is to make

run his rival a fine race. It is hard
to tell which is the quicker starter
of the two Groh seems to be faster
than Dugan but his shorter stature
helps to create that impression. To
get an accurate test of the compare
tive speed of the men one would
need stop watch and like condi-
tons by which to judge them.
Age has treated Groh generously
but he has always been a tender
player and the past season he was
unable to escape injury and could
not take part in all of the games OF
the schedule. Something might
befall him in the world series
though no one will wish him anv
hard luck of that sort.
Dugan is not a player who has
been bothered much by physical
failings. Now and then he hasn't
liked his company and ran away
from his team but that is more
mental disability than a physical
ailment. Nothing OF that sort ia
likely to befall him in a world ser
les. II it does by any strange quirk
OF his thinking apparatus, it will

Like many other good ball play
ers Groh fiunked completely as q
batter in the world series against

the mild percentage of 125, which
is worse than some of the stars
batted last year.

New York, N. Y, Sept. 29.-Com-
petition today raises its venemous
head over the plans now making
for the annual new years day
football game at the tournament
OF roses in Pasadena. On the day
before New Years the University
of Pittsburgh team will meet the
Leland Stanford outfit at Palo
Alta. The Palo Altans may not at
that time, Dec. 80, be rated as the
greatest team on the west coast
and by the same token Pitt may not
carry with them that prestige at
taching to the ranking eleven of
the east. Just the same this game
is likely to prove mighty attractive
and while the Pasadena game
draws tourists and high lifes from
Hollywood and Los Angeles. yet
there may be no doubt that there
will be a more lucrative gate were
it not to be the powerful Dec. 80
attraction in the north.
OF course by hurrying bit en-
thusiasts could see the Palo Alta
contest and then hustle through
the all night journey to Pasadena,
but it is hardly likely that many,
if any, will do this. This interest
ing gridiron situation is made
somewhat more piquant by the
fact that no great amount of affec-
ton is wasted between the north
ern and southern sections Of the
golden state.
Another engaging element in the
situation is that Glenn Warner,
coach of the Pittsburgh eleven,
completes his contract with the
Panthers at the end of this season
and goes to Leland Stanford as
head coach for a term Of years.
And in the meantime Andy Kerr.
Warmers former assistant coach
at Pittsburgh, and Claude Thorn
hill, Pitts former line coach, are
now at Palo Alta teaching the
Stanfordian football idea to shoot
frequently and with velocity.

eleven OF mediocre ability in its
first test, but not SO the Independ-
ents. The chances of winning or
losing to Green Bay at the thresh-
hold Of the 1922 grind are just
about $3.50. After all. the indie
pendents are still an untried prod
uct, while Green Bay has proved
itself every bit as strong, or strong
er, than last season, when the Is
landers barely nosed out Is to
victory.
Packers R::at Duluth.
AS an indication OF Green Bays
power, we cite its victory of last
Sunday over the Duluth club. The
score was 20 to 0. one point better
than the Independents accomplish
ed against the same club at the end
Of last season. Any team that can
beat Luluth by that score is sure
ly up and coming and decidedly in
the class OF Rock Island.
