FEW BIG THRILLS
 IN SECOND GAMES
IS Opening Contests Have Been
 Decided by Breaks
(By Billy Evans)

Playing under high tension, no doubt explains the fact that 13 opening world series games have been decided by the breaks.
 It is baseball history that after getting the first game out of their system, the strain is off and the play CTS settle down to routine play,
 This holds good for all other games Of the series. even the decid- ing contests. None offers nearly so many breaks as the opening battle,
 Of the second world series games, only four have been featured by the unexpected. None of them provided any great thrill, the breaks being rather commonplace.
 The toughest break of the four was was in the 1914 clash between the Boston Braves and the Philadel- phia Athletics. A misjudged fly ball, followed by bad throw. enabled the Braves to score the only run of the game.
 Frank Bakers home run at the expense of Rube Marquard of the Giants was the biggest thrill-maker.
 Here are the second game breaks.
 Second Game
 1911-SiXth inning: Baker of the Athletics hit a home run with one on, scoring two runs enabling the Philadelphia Americans to beat the New York Giants 3 to l.
 19l2-Tenth inning: Catcher Will son of New York Giants muffed a perfect throw to get Speaker Of Bos- ton Americans trying to stretch a triple into a home run. It permitted Sneaker to tie up the game, spelling Il Giant victory. The game ended Ill 6 to tie, II innings.

VARSITY ELEVENS START OFF SEASON Yale -HarYard- Princeton Only
 Idle Teams Today

New York, Sept 27.-The bulging barrier which has been keeping in- tercollegiate and interscholastic foot ball into the background for the past month will be sprung today. More than 300 teams representing virtually every college and univer- sity from coast to coach and Canada to Mexico, will swing into action with few exceptions.
 These exceptions include the pro- verbal Big Three" Yale, Harvard and Princeton, which will defer their inaugural games for a week. Most of the other leading teams in the east, south and west will open their seasons with traditional first game rivals. The leading teams in the western conference have also elect ed to lay off for one more week be- fore starting but the rank and file of college teams in all sections of |the country are scheduled to pry off the lid today.
 Cornell, considered by many to be on par with Yale in 1923, will open with Its usual game with St. Bona venture. which team 1t defeated last season, fl to 0. Syracuse will emu late its 1923 opening against Ho- bart again this year, while Penn- sylvania will oppose Ursinus and Columbia will meet Haverford.
 Dartmouth will entertain Norwich at Hanover, Penn State will play Lebanon Valley at State College and Boston College will meet Providence in the other days headliners. The Williams-Hamilton gridiron feud of many years, will he, contin- ued as an opening attraction at Clin- ton while Rutgers meets Villanova at New Brunswick and Holy Cross en- counters Catholic University.
 In the west the most important game on the horizon appears to be the Wabash Purdue contest, while in the south Georgia Techs Golden Tornado will hook up with Ogle- thorpe. Many other contests are scheduled for today which will bring together ancient opening game rivals.

Johnson Not Badly
 Hurt When He Is Hit

Boston, Sept. 2T.-No serious in- jury was suffered by Walter John son, ace of the Washington pitching staff, when he was hit on the left elbow by pitched ball in the fifth inning of yesterdays game with the Red SoX. Johnson withdrew from the game later and it was feared he would be made unable to take fur ther part in the series.
 Manager Stanley Harris, of the Senators, announced last night that the accident 10 his great pitcher would have no serious results.
 'The, ball caught Walter on the elbow, on what they call the crazy bone" he said. Naturally. the pain at that time was excruciating There was no lasting injury inflicted, how. ever and the doctor said Johnson will be all right and as good as ever Even last night his arm is not par. ticularly uncomfortable"

But One Game Now Sepa- rates Two and Race Is Closer Than Ever - Giants and Robins Re- sume Their Battles To- day.

 The leaders were further handi- capped by the injury 10 Johnson, who may not be able to take his turn again in the box in any of tho three games remaining to be played.

How important are the mana serial duties? Especially when compared with those of the magnate the man who assemblies the play CTS and organizes the club?
 Branch Hickey of the St. Louis Cardinals is pondering over that question and his decision may be-
 That the man who assemblies the players and organizes the club IS more important than the manager on the bench.
 Anyway, Hickey has hinted that he will resign as manager of Inc Cardinals during the winter and de- vote his entire time as discoverer of material with which to develop his National league baseball machine.
 Remarkable Character
 Hickey is one of tn. most remark able characters in Baseball. He started as a minor league catcher in the Texas league and his careed includes college football coach, col lege baseball coach, business man. ager, club president, vice president and manager.
 Originally an American league product Hickey was busted as man. ager of the St. Louis Browns fol- lowing the close of the 1915 season when his club was purchased by the sr{
 Fielder Jones became the man. ager during the merger and Hickey, holding an uneXpired contract, be- came business manager.
 When the St. Louis Cardinals were purchased by home subscribers in 1917, Hickey was shared from the American league for his high-up job as president. His manager then was Miller Huggins.
 The American league retaliated by snatching Higgins for the New York Yankees and Hickey, without manager for 1918, signed Jack Hendricks.
 A third place club drifted to 2 itaiI-ender during the Hendricks reign and he was fired.
 Manager Six Years
 Hickey then decided to pilot his owR club and he put on the man. agerial spangles in 1918.
 Serving as manager for six years Hickey has hinted that he may ap. point a successor and hereafter de- vote his time to scouting collegiate fields and the minor leagues.
 He realizes that he must rebuild his organization which in 1921 and 1922 gave the Giants stiff competi. ton for the pennant. This year i' dropped out of sight early and hal been in the second division all sea son.
 Bill Sherdel, Eddie Dyer. Johnny Stuart, Jim Bottomlcy, Clarence Mueller, Ray Blades, Howard Frei gau, Chic Hafey, Roscoe Holm anc Flint Rhem are present members O the Cardinals who were found 0, corner lats by Hickey and developed by his own hands
