EV7E are still wondering about
wv an incident which came up
- in the world series game Of
Saturday. When Bucky Harris
shifted his team around in the
seventh Leibold batted for Fer
guson and McNeeley ran for Lei
bold. McNeeley then took Joe
Harris place in the field. Mar
berry went to the mound.
In the batting order, unless we
are some way twisted, this would
make McNeeley bat in place of
Ferguson Neibold batted for Fer
guson and McNeely ran for Lei
bold and Marberry would take
Joe Harris place in the hitting
order.
In the last Of the eighth Mar
berry batted in Fergusons place
instead of McNeely. Press dis
patches carried nothing concern
ing any protest made on the play.
We cannot understand it and are
anxiously awaiting an explanation.
Syracuse defeated William and
Mary, 33 to 0, on Saturday. I. u.
lost to Michigan, SO to O. That's
something unpleasant for the
Crimson fans to think about this
week before Syracuse invades the
new stadium at Bloomington.
4 Somebody may jump all over us
Yor this next statement. But we
think a SO to 0 defeat is inexcusa-
BILE. To speak plainly, it Is a dis
grace, no matter how or why it
happened.
f"7 THIS is one day late for SER
mons, but Walter johnson
- Is such q wonderful theme
we can not resist the temptation.
If ever there was an example of
what perseverance, temperance
and preparedness can do, Barney
Is the greatest of object lessons.
He Is hero of the baseball
world and no one ever more
richly deserved the honor and
homage.
Johnson trained for the series
like a fighter trains for a fight.
He was ready when the great
test came.
Wonder what Home Run" Ba-
ker thinks about when Illuminating
over all these homers. His ex-
PLOTS in former years are dwarfed
in comparison. A circuit clout
these days is as common as f1eas
on mongrel pup.
~7OOTBALL is one game in
r which star players cannot
- shine without assistance
from their mates. Team work is
an essential in the grid sport. A
team cannot be made in a week.
Coach Erehart Of the Ferndales
will develop a machine, but he
must have little time.
= The local gridders lost to Elwood
5Sunday, to 6, but if they do not
sget discouraged and keep plugging
away Erehart will get them going.
He knows what he is about.
We wish to apologize to Short
ridge High School. On the sport
page a story said that Shortridge
won its third football game last
Friday. 1t was the fourth victory.
We wouldn't take away a victory
from the north siders for the
world.
UST as Yale was congratu.
lating itself on its over
LI whelming defeat of Middle
bury, along comes Harvard and
piles up a bigger count. Looking
a long way ahead, it begins to
look as though that Yale Harvard
contest which will close the sea-
son for the fasteners at Cam
bridge on Nov. 81 will be terri
fic struggle. None of the eastern
teams at this time looks any bet
ter than those two Of the big
Three"
That smack of Joe Harris Sun
day was an honest to-goodness
homer. It landed about fifteen
seats up in the regular left field
bleachers-a mighty clout that
travelled something like 400 feet
from home plate. When Joes
/ powerful shoulders get behind the
apple it's good night!
4 Why be so surprised because
home runs are figuring so promi-
nently In the world series?
Haven't they been hitting them
all season? Is there any reason
why the sluggers should quit in
the big games with even shorter
stands to shoot at?
Buffers great stand against ILL
nois is another feather in the cap
of the local school. In fairness to
Butler the Irvington team did not
play UP to standard in the De
PAW tie game. A muddy field and
some breaks" at the start which
