CLASSIC PLAYS
 ON GRIDRON
BY ossIE soLEM
Football Coach. Drake University,
 Des Moincs, Iowa

Two weeks before our big Thanks giving Day game with Grlnnell ih 1921, we had lost both our half backs. One with an injured ankle, the other with a dislocated shoulder. And at the end of the first half Grinnell had us beaten 10 to o.
 x, During the third quarter our sit- uation got no better 50 it was time for bold stroke. Time was called and out onto the field trotted "Bill" Boelter, the halfback with the dis located shoulder.
 Give me a sound-bodied substitute in preference to crippled star, l seem to hear you saying, And or dinarily I'd vote that way myself. But let's follow developments in this instance.
 Boelter's entry into the game was automatically the signal for forward passing fireworks to starr In the next five minutes we flung four passes, and Boelter carried three of them to touchdowns, with runs ranging from 20 to 40 yards after receiving the ball.
 Drake 21--Grinnell 10. That's the only answer to those who questioned the wisdom ocssending Boelter into the game. Some players seem to have, in addition to marvellous na- tural ability, sort of magic spark that puts new life into laboring machine. Such a one was "Bill' Boelter. Sending him into the game was more than the injection of 8 limp arm and heroic figure, It was breathing new spirit into the whole Drake team.
 Never have l seen as spectacular pinch hitting as Boelters handling of passes and running in that rapid fire overhead rally.
 But his performance that day wal only typical of his exploits through out three-year career, ending las fall, in which his feats were recog nized by numerous critics in thei selection of Missouri Valley and All Western mythical teams.

JUNIOR WORLD
 SERIES ARE ON
St. Paul and Baltimore Stage r First Game Today

Baltimore, Md, Oct. e.-The first battle of the junior world series will be fought at Oroole park this after noon when the St. Paul Saints, American association champions, meet the Baltimore Orioles, pennant winners of the International league.
 On edge as the result Of a close finish in the Western league, the Saints are expected to furnish stiff opposition to the siX-time 1nterna- tional league champions, who gained a commanding lead over their rivals sometime before the end of the sea son, and let down considerably dur ing the last weeks of play.
 Jack Dunn, manager of the Birds, will not mark time today, but will send his pitching ace" Lefty Groves, after St. Paul at once. Cliff Markle, righthander, or Howard Merritt, a southpaw, will oppose Groves.
 In the comparison of team aver ages, the Orioles enjoy slight ad- vantage over the Saints. Individu- ally, too, they have an edge. The Birds have five regulars who hit over the 300 mark, while the saints have four 300 batters. There is lit- tie difference between the two clubs in the other departments, however.
 Both teams will go into todays game with their regular lineups practically intact. The probable lineup:
 St. Paul--Chrostenson cf.; Boone, ss,; Neun, h.; Lee, rf.: Dressen Sb.; Haas, f.; Morse, 2b.; Dixon, C.; Markle or Merritt, p.
 Baltimore-Maisel, Sb.; Connolly if; Jacobson, cf.; Porter, 2b.; Boley ss.; Sheedy, h.; Clarke or Jacobs f.: McCarty, C.; Groves, p.

At the tin}e of his sale o'Connell was a first baseman but at the request of the New York >club the San Francisco officials played him in the outneld in 1929.

 It Is doubtful whether any Pa cihc Coast baseball player was ever more idolized than O'Connell, sports writers said last night. Leading the league in batting. O'Connells future was thought to be extremely bright when he was bought by New York. Fans and players in the league alike all united in saying that o'Connell was the best ball player ever turned out by the coast organization.
 An "O'Connell Day" was held at the local baseball park before the close of the season when, he was to leave for New York and the fans in a testimonial gave Jimmy" home \ in the mission district. He makes his home here in the winter.
 Two years ago o'Connell spent the winter at the ranch of Duffy Lewis, now manager Of the Salt Lake baseball team and former star outfielder of the Boston Red sox.

letter said it could mean only more
unhappfness to him. Yet he was
hungry for it as one who longs for
a soothing drug.
He pushed together yet more close
ly the burning sticks of his little
fire and bent over to read. 1t was
very little that he saw written, but
it spoke to him like a voice in the
night:
"Come back to me-ah, come back,

made no reply to him. The stars
glowed cold and white above him

facets of pitiless light turned upon
his soul
The quavering howl Of a wolf on
