FRENCH TRYING 10
 JET ONTO SLANG
Sports Writers Preparing for
 Baseball Games

Paris, Oct. 4. - The announced transforming tour of the Giants and White Sox through Europe the lat ter part of this month and early November has started the French sporting scribes studying the vo- cabulary of baseball. Some of the French renditions of the terms fami- liar to American fans are quaint. The translation for home run is "a complete tour of the bases" while a foul tip is ascribed by one writer as "the bat just flirted with the ball"
 The fans here hope Babe Ruth will be included in the party of big lcagucrs. "Le Gros Bebe," as She French sporting sheets call him. is the only player whose name has be- come widely known here. His title to. fame, however, is due rather 10 his money making ability than his .knack of smashing out homo runs.
 Ruth draws Il larger salary than the president of the French repub- lic,' was d headline which appeared in a weekly sports publication a short time ago.
 There has been considerable inter- est in the local baseball league this season, and crowds Of 4,o00 or 5000 fans attended the inter-city games between London and Paris.

"Gosh, l Feel Rotten Says Heartbroken Giant Mascot Billy Craig Has the "s5OO Blues" But Remains Loyal to Cosy Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell
By GENE COIN NEA Service Writer.


 New York, Oct. 4,--There is one whose faith in Jimmy O'Connell and "Cozy" Dolan is unshaken.
 The whole world may point con- demning fingers at the two Giant players, outlawed from the diamond on a bribe charge, but there is a 13- year-old kid, with a cap pulled well down over his eyes and with freckes marking trail over his nose, upon whose loyalty to the finish you can bet your shirt.
 That's Billy Craig-mascot to the Giant team,
 For Billy, like all boy hero- wor- shippers, had built him a shrine and upon it were certain idols. In the eyes of tens of thousands these idols fell with crash. but a very heart sick Billy tries to pick up the pieces and fashion them together as he knew them.
 It was "Cozy" Dolan who first noticed Billy hanging around the players gate at the Giants ball park.
 Day after day the kid made bee line straight from school to the green fence that walls the famous Polo Grounds.
 Then one afternoon "Cozy" wink cd at the kid, Tipped a finger under hn hot atn in?"
 It was only matter of days until Billy became mascot to the Giants. That was four years ago.
 And it was Jimmy O'Connell, the kindly, friendly, young outfielder from the coast, who took Billy under his wing and made real pal of the kid mascot, It wasn't so many years ago that Jimmy was "sandlot kid" himself out in San Francisco.
 In the winter months when mem- bers of the team transformed through the south Billy would so as guest of O'Connell and Snyder.
 So you can understand why Billy Craig was very heavy~hearted lad at time when, as mascot of the National League leaders. he should have been the happiest kid in Amer ica.
 But a fellow has to be a man" under such circumstances and Billy had to pretend 10 be untouched by the double blow. If you're going to be big leaguer some day, you've got to go right along no matter what happens.
 Gosh, I feel rotten about this But I'll stick to Jimmy. He's my pal. Didn't he take me on the trip through the south with the team him and Snyder. He's the best friend had on the team. And Cozy's the fellow that first got me in. Can you beat it?"
 Swatting a big catcher's glove for Billy walked across the diamond, his head hanging and his eyes more than a little sad.

 >. Washington, Oct. 4.-Ban Johnson president of the American league has Spoken out of turn" in criti- cising the conduct of the O'Connell- Dolan bribery scandal investigation and the Washington Senators are soidly in support of Commissioner Landis. It was declared last night by Clark Griffith, president of the local club.
 Johnson has no right to attack Landis without showing he had something to back up his state ments" Griffith declared. This is Landis' job, not Johnson's. When the judge fails to clean things up, then it will be time for some one else to step in. But so far as know, I heartily approve of all the commissioner has done and feel he has the case in hand, prepared to take any additional steps needed.
 Johnson, it seems to me, is simp- ly utilizing the present upheaval to further his personal ends and stab at Landis."

CLASSIC PLAYS
 ON GRIDIRON
When the Great Gipp of Notrc Dame Used His Bean and Made
 the West Pointers Look Silly
By Knute K. Rockne
<otre Dame University Coach

Notre Dame University Coach
 It was in the Army-Notre Dame game of 1917 that the play have decided was the greatest l have ever seen in football was pulled.
 Throughout the first half, the West Pointers had outplayed us and. as a consequence, were lead ing to 0. But in the second half our running attack worked from midfeld to the Army scycn-yard line, mainly through the passing and running of George Gipp. It was fourth down and goal to make.
 Notre Dame took time out 10 plan the next move. As l have said, it had been Gipp, Gipp, Gipp in the march down the field and now it was Gipp again who saw the way to touchdown, Army would watch him closely on this last, a1I-import- ant play. Gipp felt confident Of that. So he suggested bold stroke.
 The quarterback parked. The ball was snapped and Gipp and the full- back went breaking into the line bat not with the ball, Brandy, an other back. had that and he was catapultng madly, unescorted, in an opposite direction. In fact so engrossed were the West Pointers with stopping Gipp that Brandy was across the line before he was even seen.
 The cheers that went up were for Brandy, for the public seems to watch only the ball-carricr But equal credit at least belongs to Gipp for his brilliant headwork and 10 the linemen who opened the hole for Brandy.
 Wits put over that touchdown, just as they do in business or any where. The lesson 1t teaches also applies universally. Don't devote all your attention to one man. Keep your eyes on the ball.

q saw Jim in the clubhouse, Gosh, he looked sad Sure. I told him to buck up. l don't know what to think. It don't make any difference what happens. he's my friend and I'm his.
 But all the bravado in the world and all the gestures of loyalty couldn't hide the disappointment and the hurt that Billy's tone and look revealed.
 Tt don't seem natural that Jimmy isn't going along"
 Billy didn't dare trust himself to look up at the Giants clubhouse, which was but dozen feet ahead.
 In one of the windows, looking dismally out upon the diamond, was Jimmy O'Connell.
 All around were the suitcases, the bats, gloves and blankets ready for the Washington trip. Out on the field the last practice was under way And Jimmy was in blue street suit, with light cap pulled over his eyes, now looking out the window and now looking disconsolately at the pile of baggage.
 If never. a fellow needed a friend Nope. it's pretty tough" Billy continued. Its pretty hard to be- lieve that there isn't mistake somewhere. But Jimmy can always bank on me, no matter what hap pens.
 Sure. I've got to see the series through. The team comes first. al- ways"
 Billy Craig-his idols crashed to

JOHNSON TELLS OF
 ANOTHER SCANDAL
Says Attempt Was Made to Buy
 'OS Series
By The Associated Prrs.

By The Associated Prefs.
 Chicago, Oct. 4.-Presidcnt Ban Johnson, of the American league, last night made public a hitherto secret affidavit revealing that crook edness was attempted in the first Worlds Series ever played, when in 1903, Lou Criger, famous catcher with the Boston Red Sox, contesting with the Pirates was offered s12,- GOO to throw games.
 The affidavit relates that the at tempted brihe was made by a pro- fessional gambler, introduced to Cri- ger two years previously in the presence of John H. McGraw. man. agcr of the New York Giants, and Wilbert Robinson pilot of the Brook lyn Nationals.
 Made Affidavit in 1923.
 President Johnson said the affi- davit was made by Crigor in Fcbru- ary, 1923. at a time when the ia nous catcher, rapidly failing in health, was starting for the west, abandoning all hope of living longer than a few weeks.
 Tt was a statement of a man going west to die" President John son said. "Fortunately Criger is alive today however, and is living in Nevada"
 Criger in his affidavit declared he was introduced to a professional gamblef of the name of Anderson whose first name he does not recall, by Robinson in Baltimore in 1901, and that in the company of Me Graw and Robinson, he spent the afternoon with Anderson at a country bowling club near Baltimore
 Criger said Anderson left the inn pression that his business was that of a professional gambler.

Two teams that are primed for a hard battle will clash at Memorial Field tomorrow afternoon, when tie All-New Britains stack up against the All-Torrington eleven. Having in mind the worlds series, the local management several weeks ago looked around for a stellar attiac ton for October 5, and in securing the All-Torringtons, it is believed that such has been accomplished. The upstate team has been organ- ized for several seasons, during which time fine record of per- formances. While the team lost to Meriden team last Sunday afternoon 70, it is said by the local fans that witnessed the game that the Silvnr City team was lucky. Manager James Minetto, of the Torrington team explains that the team IS weakened by the loss of Kearney and Kovacs, the bulwarks in the backfield. Both of these men will be with the Torrington club against New Britain tomorrow. The man. agement of the rorrinstln team also states that about 400 fans will make the trip to this clty to vii ,y.ts the game. The defeat of last Sum- day has not tended to discourage the Torrington club bit. On the other hand, the visitors are coming to the Hardware City, with one ob- ject in vieW-a win over New Brit ain.
 The Torrington team is one of the heaviest that the locals have met in several seasons, some idea of the size can be gleaned from the following statistics: Concannon, left end. 160 pounds; Abraham, left tackle, 19O pounds; Wedland, left guard, 1855 pounds; Whiticage. center. 190 pounds; Sarog, right guard, 190 pounds; Ryan. left tackle, 22O pounds; Minetto, right end. 160 pounds; Radzewitch, quarterback, 1SO pounds; Kearney. left halfback, 1S0 pounds; Hooker, right halfback. 175 pounds; Kevacs, .fullback, 195 pounds. The team is well fortified with substitutes; with McNeil, guard, 190 pounds Burke, tackle, 2O5 pounds; Hogan, quarterback, 150 pounds; Glasheen, end, 16S pounds; Dwycr, tackle, 1S0 pounds; Negri, halfback, 1SO pounds and Baloskie, halfback, 1S0 pounds.
 With the acquisition of Eddie Sherman at center. the locals should look more formidable in the line. Warner will be back at his position at tackle, which is usually good news for the fans. The game will start at 3 o'clock, and returns of the world series game between the Giants, Ma tional at Washington, will be told to the fans during the game.
