JEFFCO TO MEET JONES VALLEY AT BOYLES ON FRIDAY

Jefferson County Wildcats are get ting ready for their game Friday aft ernotn at o'clock at Boyles with the Jones Valley Brownies. Coach DeYampert put the team through a stiff scrimmage Wednesday after- noon, in which he had the misfor- tune to lose two of his star players for about four weeks.
 Irving, halfback, sustained a broken shoulder. while Sorrel, end, got broken collar bone while run ming interference on practice for going down under punts. This will seriously weaken the Wildcats in ad- dition to the other men they have on the sick list A good many of the players have bad knees and shoul ders, but they will be able to get into the game Friday with the exception of the two badly hurt.
 Coach DeYampert has been run ming the squad until dark on signal drill, tackling and scrimmages and hopes to have his team in the best shape possible to meet the strong Brownie team, against which no team has made a first down so far this year.
 Taylor, at quarter, will be relief upon heavily to do a large portion of the Wildcats work on the offensive and running the team while in the line Barton, at end Morris, at tackle and Dismukes, at center, will prob ably be mainstays in the game for the Wildcats Friday

SINNERS IS NEAR DEATH AS RESULT CASE INFLUENZA

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-While the Giants were winning the first game of the world series and lowing to the frenzied applause of the largest crowd that ever fought its way to a ball park, Ralph Shinners, utility out fielder of the winning team, lay i'll with pneumonia in the Lutheran hos pital, only 10 minutes away by taxi. The crowds passed tlre window of his river for hours before the game be- gan at the Yankee stadium They swarmed by again when the show was over, talking excitedly of Casey StengeIs home run that won the game in the ninth.
 Stengel was playing In the position that Shinners came up to fill when he was bought from Indianapolis two years ago.
 He felt quite happy; 1t cheered him up a bit' Sinners nurse said when some of his friends called at the hospital after the game to learn how he was doing. The nurse said the doctors were strongly hopeful that he would recover. although earlier in the day it had been re- ported that he was dying.
 Shinners never had real chance to make good in the Giants outfield. He was struck on the head by a pitched ball at Philadelphia last year and was out of the game most of the season because his optic nerve was affected by the blow. This year he was only a little better and did not give much of a contest to the three other Stengel Bob Cunningham and Jimmie O'Connell

:GIANTS PLAYED INI
 !BRAINIER FASHION
 THAN DID TANKS
=John McGraW Directed Each Move Of His Team In
 First Game

NEW YORK. Oct. 10.-(By Asso- 2. ciated Press.)-If sport loving .erowds, out to make a Gotham holi- day. revered brains as they do phy- ,sical prowess, John Joseph McGraw, :; manager of the New York Giants and Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Tanks would have needed cot ton in their ears today.
 Both shippers gave ample evidence of their efficient gray matter. And not only they, but some of the men on the field gave remarkable exhibi- tions of co-ordination of mind and muscle under the most severe tests were yelling for all they were worth and with the biggest stake in base e.hall-the worlds series champion ship-hanging on their efforts. 7 Many expressions of admiration for Hugstns were heard in contrast to ,the scorn thrust upon him last year {. when his team went down to defeat in five games. It was generally con ceded that his men were snapper, quicker, more belligerent. more obe- sdient and better ball players today than. they were last year.
 ad It was the consensus of opinion that HuEgins yanked hither Hoyt in ample time and sent in Bullet JCe" Bush as vindication. Bush let down the hard hitting Giants with four safeties in his time on the mound, and 1t was the fortune of war that one happened to be Casey Stengefs 8 :. home run and the marker that de- cided the day. Both managers were quite modest. McGraw, attireo Tn gray suit of multi" his gray locks ell breeze, emerged once from his dugout to nose with Babe Ruth. He did not reappear- again and after the con test retired as quickly as possible to the dressing room or his players to talk over the game and plan to- morrow's battle.
 Huggins made only few appear ances, going to the first base inc during several innings to direct ms men at bat.
 Throughout the game McGraw sat fin his secluded corner erecting hls men by signals. He told Ihs pitchers what to throw, his batters how, where and when to hit; his outfielders when to move to right or left and his Tn = field to move in or out. In the tniro inning McGraw withdrew players and rushed in endorsements with tho precision of a field marshal following up a barrage.
 While the baseball ability of the managers may be argued, with some thing to say on both sides, the head- work of the Giant players seemed somewhat to overshadow the Yankees. McGraw has made an effort of late years to obtain college players. and in all events to get players who show ability to think quickly and act in- simultaneously. His players today showed the result of that effort.
 The Giants got the better Of the Individual breaks-plays that could have resulted to the advantage of either side without anyone being Criticised. But the Giants took ad- Vantage of all of their opportunities where the Tanks did not. The Giants did not have the opportunities to score that the Tanks had. The Amer jean leaguers either missed or under played a half dozen opportunities. disparity, however, was not all due to superior intellect or smarter base ball, but to plain better baseball playing by the winners

NEW YORK. Oct. 10.-Fighting for his head and eager to go faster, Zev, the defender of American prestige on the turf went six furlongs in 1:12:3-5 in a stirring workout at Belmont park Wednesday and appeared certain to be at his best for the race of October 20 with Papyrus.
 He was accompanied by his stable mate, Little Chief, and showed back the quartermiles {, rate so even that he seemed to be going by engine power. Zev did not stop at the sixth furlong but kept on to cover a mile and one-quarter in 2:06:2-5.
 The workout was held in public in order to maintain interest in the race and lend further Justification to the decision of the Jockey club committee in choosing Zev as the American champion instead of Admiral Cary Grayson's My own.

Cruickshank Lou Scorer In Round In Western Open

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 1e.-"Bob" Cruickshank, Westfield, N. J., profess sional, driving straight and long off the tee and approaching with uncan- ny deadliness, topped field of more than 100 entrants In the first qualify ing round today of the western open golf tournament with a score of 69 for the IS holes-two strokes under par for the Colonial Country club course and within two strokes of the course record.
 Wilfred Reid of Detroit was run ner-up to Cruickshank for low score honCrs for the opening day with a 71-par golf.
 Leo Diegel, Washington, D. C., and James Kennedy, Tulsa, Okla, tied for their place with 72s.
 Walter Hagen, former national open champion, was among those who made the round in "A while Miko Brady of Oakland Hills, winner of the western open title in 1922, and Jock" Hutchison of Chicago had scores of 75.
 Harry Hampton of Detroit, Cana dian champion, who equaled the Colonial course record of 67 in pre- liminary play, took 76 for today's round.
 Approximately 50 players had scores of 80 or better. Another IS holes will be played tomorrow, the low 64 for the two days qualifying for the final days 36-hole round for the title.
 Cruickshanks game was the out standing feature of the day. He showed superior form in comparison with the other stars, and, although he was one over par on the outward nine, he came back tC the clubhouse Olaying a strong game.
 "Wee Bobby" got away from the l ho of a r He took a five, one over par, on the first hole. He got birdie two on No. 3 but overplayed his iron shot and missed putt on the seventh ana was down in five He finished the nine with 35, one over par.
 Coming in, however, he redeemed himself He sunk an eagle three on the "hoodoo" thirteen, a difficult par five hole. Stimulated by this feat, Cruikshank sank birdie fours on the fourteenth and sixteenth and turned the inside nine three under par, for a 34.
 Walter Hagen, paired with Cruik- shank. started badly with five on number one. He made two and three in par, and then ran three lives in 8 row. Par was the best he could do on the last three and he finished the first nine four above. He played the inside nine by the chart, except for a
 
 Joe Kirkwood and John Black played medium game. The Austra- Han was out in 3S and came in one better for 75. Black was out in 40 and failed to retrieve his losses com ing in. He finished with 78.
 Wilbur Oakes of Chattanooga showed good form in the early play and led the field at the end of the first nine with a 33. He finished with 73 for the day and was tied with Herman Fiebig, Chicago; R. G. Mcdonald. the Metropolitan cham pion. and R. F. Spicer. Jr., 17-year-' old Memphis youth.
 Jock" Hutchison got into trouble on the fourth hole going out and was down in seven. Par for the hole is four. This hole was chiefly respon- sible for the Chicagoans card of 75.

money in Moscow. In their half of the first inning, with Witt down, Dugan walked and was forced by Ruth, who rested safe on first. Meu sel whammed a double to center and Ruth came with the first tally. They did their stuff again in the second when Ward singled and Schang did likewise. Then Scott and Bush lost their chances to be heroes by prov ing easy victims. But Witt, the snor- ing champion of the Morpheus league, blinked his eyes and woke up right, on which Ward and Schang scored. That inning was plenty for a MT. Watson, who up to that mo- ment had been more or less pitching for the Giants.
 In the third the Giants did their daily exercise. Kelly singled. Gowdy walked. Jack Bentley, the pitcher who hits. went to the plate for Wat son and gave evidence as to the why and wherefore of McGraw's having paid large dough for him. He hit safe over first.
 There were three on and none out. Gearin, who ran for Bentley, was grounder to short, Kelly scoring Bancroft stole and Groh cleared the bases with swift smash over first that rolled to the bleacher wall. Groh made third on the play and the Tanks gathered around Hoyt and looked him over. Evidently he didn't look good to his teammates, for he was waved to the soothing quiet of the showers and Joe Bush was summoned to see what he could do with the patient. Frisch spanked a single scant inch beyond the end of Pipps outstretched fingers and Groh scored. Young forced F'risch and was out attempting too late to reach second when Schang dropped a pitched ball. Giants, f; Tanks, 3.
 Ryan took up the pitching burden for the Giants then and did well un- til the seventh inning, when Bush singled to center and scored the tying run on Dugans triple to left after Witt had flied out.
 But what matters a run more or less between teams when one of them suffers from the sleeping sickness? There is no answer. The Tanks look good but their appearance doesn't mean anything. They have the sleep ing sickness and it can't be cured. At least if it can it hasn't been so far. And as hereinbefore stated, no team can sleep during working hours and perform a better days labor than the Giants. It is not done.
