Time NOW TO DATE
FROM 1924 SERIES
ny HERBERT COREY.

The year of the big wind has been
forgotten. Hereafter our chronology
starts with the year the Bucks fought
the Giants to an eyelash hn'sh Tor
the world stakes. There may have
been better base ball at other times
possibly-but there never can have
been more wild-eyed melodrama
The heroine has forever been lashed
TO the rails. with the lightning IGx-
press running loose. The hero has
,1wayS been tied to the sawlog. The
villain throughout has kept his hand
IN the lever and Kissed and Kissed.
In each game the climax has come in
the ninth frame-just where climaxes
should come. Ard always it came
with a crash.
Take yesterdays game, for exam
pie, in which the Bucks tied up the
series, licked McGraw's best pitcher
and once more lamed Roger Peckin-
paugh. Zachary and Nehf had been
pitching brilliant ball. Nehfs score
sheet is better, for he allowed but
four hits, against Zach's seven, but
then two had been punched in the
fifth irninG and soaped in two runs.
Sometimes Zachary seemed to be on
the verge of wabbling-he never ac-
tuaily wabbled--and at the next mo-
ment reliable Nehf would seem ready
to soar, without ever leaving the
earth
The tallies stood I-2 at the begin
ming of The ninth inning. Just a
little luck would tie the score. A
little more might win the game
Washington ycwled, clamored and
stamped.
For the first three TO face Zachary
are as dangerous with bat as a Moro
with knife. Young, Kelly and Meu-
sci. Not always reliable. but always
dangerous. And they were followed
by Wilson, who only the other day
tore of one Of the longest hits ever
heard tell of on the Polo Grounds
Just little luck would do il. There
was delirium in the stands. 1t lasted
until Wilson famed, and then il end
ed with chat sharp cut notable in
base ball cheering, as though the wire
had been broken.

FOR SPECIAL EVENT

LATONIA, KY, October l0.-Candi-
dates for the third international spe-
cial, having been given their final
workouts and pronounced flt by their
trainers. horsemen and racing fans
today marked time awaiting the call
to the barrier tomorrow Of what was
freely termed the best field of thor
oughbreds that has gathered in many
years.
French champion, Epinard. will ar
rive today. He is more enthusiastic
over the Latonia race than any in
which his colt has participated in this
country, according to New Workers
who have talked with him. NJ.
Wertheimer has planned to show his
friends in France just how Epinard
performed. by means OF motion pic
lures, and with this in view he has
engaged film concern to take pic
lures of the race from beginning to
end. a huge derrick-like platform, to
be usSi by this firm exclusively, has
been built in the infield.
Louis Feustel, trainer of Ladkin,
which pulled up lame after a gallop,
announced that the Belmont winner
of the second International had re-
sponded to treatment and might be 4
starter in the final OF the event.
August Belmont is coming on, and
Feustel will not make known his final
decision until he has consulted with
the owner.
The last of the international candi-
dates to arrive on the scene were Zev
and Mad Play, the Rancocas pair. Zev.
the greatest money-winning horse of
all time, is entered in the -furlong
feature today. If he goes il will be
merely a "pipe-opener" for the big
race tomorrow.
Elaborate preparation is being made
by the Kentucky Jockey Club officials
to provide accommodations for the
largest assemblage of racing fans
ever gathered at the historic Milldale
course.
Cincinnati hotels were jammed, and
late arrivals who had overlooked the
matter of making reservations in ad-
vance Were being turned away. News
paper writer's were early on the scene
among them Albert Leiberfeld, head
of the Havas News Agency in the
United States. and his assistant
Edouard Cournard, who will cable to
France the details of the big race.

teams are to play in outside" games

championship series that will get un-

Business High planned to visit

All three of the games should give
the high school contenders chance

Gonxaga Highs eleven Will strive
to equal the record it set last year
on the gridiron. The I Streeters
flashed to the limelight last season
by trouncing Central High in one of
the big upsets of the season. Jack
and Zube Sullivan, who will play
with the independent Mercury Ath-
letic Club this year, are coaching the
GonZaga gridders
1t will be quite feather in the hat
of GonZaga If ii takes the measure
of st. Joseph's Prep team Monday at
Philadelphia. The local combination
was successful in its first start this
season against Business High.
a lot of speculation is going on in
regard to the team that Coach Mike
Kelly of Central will present. The
Blue and White mentor formerly
coached Business and it was gem
orally regretted that he seldom had
any worthy material to place the
Stenographers on the map. Kelly at
Central will find much talent. His
teams at the Blue and White institu-
ton will be watched with interest.
Catholic University Freshmen, who
annually offer the high school teams
