PIRATE OuTFIELDERS
ten PERCENT BETTER
HITTERS--0N PAPER

New York, Oct. 1-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Two mighty outfields,
strong in every department of base
ball, will clash when Washington
and Pittsburgh meet in the first
game of the worlds series next
Wednesday.
A contest for smuggling honors i'm
Ponds between the two heaviest hit
tiers Of the rival squads. Leon
'(Goose) Goslin, Washington's hero
of the 1924 series and Hasen (Kiki)
Cuyler, sensational young Pirate
outfielder.
The Goose has proved his worlds
series worth. He hit .344 last fall
and was always dangerous. He has
been a bit cratic this year, trailing
his outfield mate, Sam Rice, in the
league percentage column. but Cos
habit of being at his best in the
pinch.
Cuyler, one of the brightest stars
to break into the majors in a decade,
combines with Max Carey and Clyde
Barnhart to form an outer array
which seems superior to the Wash
ington trio of Goslin, Rice and Earl
McNeely or Joe Harris, If the COM
parison of season averages Is taken
as conclusive.
The Pirates, for instance, have an
edge on speed. Carey, long a noted
base thief, has AZ steals to his credit
against 81 for Cuyler. Barnhart has
pilfered nine to give Pittsburgh a
total of SO. Washington's outfielders
have stolen Ga bases, with Goslin
and Rice sharing first honors with 81
apiece.
Cuyler. according to the averages,
is the best hitter in either club, his
800 this season placing him among
the first five batsmen in the National
League, in addition to which he IS
the leading run-getter.
Carey has batted $40 for the sea-
son and Barnhart 1927, an outfield av-
erage of .342. Rice's mark is $50,
Goslin's $40, McNeely's .28S and Joe
Harris 1905. With McNeely playing
center field, the Senator outer works
averages 1925 but with Harris in the
lineup the figures are 1882.
Pittsburgh's outfield, therefore, IS
ten batting percentage points better
than Washington's-on paper.
But to offset this, Washington has
one of the greatest defensive outer
trios in baseball, although Pittsburgh
is not far behind with such sprinters
as Cuyler and Carey. Barnhart can
not match the speed of his fellows
but he is steady and knows his posi-
ton. Rice and McNeely provide most
of the fielding features for the Sen
ators. Rice pulled several spectac-
ular catches in the 1924 series. Cos
lin, also fast man, covers great
deal of ground.

TODAY IS RALLY
DAY FOR CONY FOR
SkOWHECAN GAME

Today will be rally day at Cony.
At three o'clock the entire student
body will get together and give an
exhibition Of the Cony spirit and
loyalty to athletic teams that has
always been a feature Of the school.
While the student body is busy inside
all the loyal graduates around town
will be doing Saturday afternoons
work today for everyone who has
been approached on the subject has
signified his intentions of being at
Williams Field, Saturday.
Unfortunately only eleven men can
play on the Cony team at a time but
in the cheering section there Is a
chance to show as much spirit as
the boys on the gridiron. The sched-
ule this year includes very few home
games, only three in fact and the
Skowhegan game should prove to be
one Of the best Of these three. Last
year the Red and White journeyed
to Skowhgan and came back with a
rs defeat tackled on their slate and
the year before that the Orange and
|
tune of 10.
The Skowhegan team this year Is
guided by Otis Johnson. former
Cony lad and the upriver captain
will plug for a Skowhegan victory.
The fast Somerset team won from
Camden by a decisive score last
Saturday and are confident, but not
too confident. of anneXing their third
consecutive win at the expense OF
Cony.
Although the Cony team will be
without the services of Merrick and
Dorr and possibly Soule the team
should be able to give a good ac-
count Of itself against the invaders.
Trask is a tower of strength in the
line and his presence tends to steady
the greener men. Coach Pierce gave
his charges thorough talk on the
necessity of getting into the game
with the determination to win and
the aggressiveness that wins football
games.
There will be no scrimmage to-
night and the team will make its next
appearance on Williams Field, Sat
urday.

Huge Stadiums Now
Being Built Testify
Popularity Football

New York, Oct. 1.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press.)-A tide of football
enthusiasm which has rushed on ap-
parently unchecked threatens to en-
gulf the ticket Offices again this sea-
son, despite the fact that several
great structures dedicated to the col
lege sport have been or are in pro-
cess of building to meet growing pop
ular demands.
Ten millions, it was reliable esti-
mated, saw last years football cam
paign from coast to coast, with
thousands more turned away from
the more important games. but in
creased facilities in every section OF
the country are expected to add 20
to 50 per cent to this astonishing to-
tai when the last goal of 1879 is
kicked.
Harvard, by erecting horseshoe
shaped structure of steel and GEN.
ent 20 years ago, started the move
ment which has swept across the
United States and now finds gigantic
stadia, monuments to the remark
able growth of football in all sections
of the land. The million dollar
stadium is common now to the Pa
cific coast and middle west as well
as to the East.
Today it is estimated that the
eastern territory alone has increased
it's capacity to 100000 seats for
any single football day this fall with
H. no no
parks, Braves Field in Boston, and
the Baltimore stadium among the
enclosures available for the sport
Yale's famous bowl, seating a.
600 and the big structures at Har-
ward and Princeton, each accommo-
dating around $1,000, still rank
among the largest in the East but
| it is in Pennsylvania that the main
| examples of newer development are
| found. Here, the Universities OF
Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh are In
. vesting in projects that involve s.
100000 each and will eventually pro-
vide in each case seating room for
| 100000.
Franklin Field. Pennsylvania
| athletic grounds, will have it's ca
pacity increased to 10000 before the
| middle of this season, with stands
| accommodating 100000 as the ulti-
mate aim. Pittsburgh's costly new
| bowl already can seat 10000 and will
ultimately take care of 100000.
West Virginia, which erected but
| did not dedicate it's stadium last
year, plans to care for 10000 with
! the addition of an upper tier. Brown
University of Providence has raised
| half of a structure which will care
| for 10000 eventually. Holy Cross al
so has half completed stadium de-
signed to seat $4,000. while Lafay-
cite intends to have stands accom-
modating 10000.
On the Pacific coast, California;
new stadium is the largest, with act
ual seating capacity of $4,000 besides
standing room, while in the middle
west, Illinois has 100000 stad-
ium. Ohio State and Michigan also
have dedicated big modern struc-
| lures.

"Big Train" Baseball
Humming Along on Time

Washington, Oct. l - (AP)-The
big Train OF baseball remains an
express, humming through the cities
of the American League, always on
time, it's smoke pouring defeat upon
those who would flag it. Bucky Har-
ris, manager of the Senators and
every other members of the club are
passengers, for the big Train" of
baseball is Walter p. (Barney)
Johnson, out of Humboldt, kans.
After piling up glorious records for
years, the Train" last year whistled
for a stop but the signal went UNI
until once again it has come into
Washington bearing an American
League pennant, it's fuel conserved
but with smoke" still pouring from
one of the games mightiest arms.
Last winter Johnson was through.
his journey at an end-so many of
the experts ruled. He went to the
Pacific Coast and attempted to buy a
baseball club of his own, but failed,
and he returned to the only major
league baeball team he has known
the Senators. Then 1t was that the
writer's of sport saw the end which
has not come. for Johnson, veteran
of 10 baseball seasons, again has
been a great factor in determining
the league title.
"They had me all through" he said
at Philadelphia after winning one of
the Labor Day games recently, which
meant much to Washington hopes,
but there seems to be something
left" He is 80 years old.
Johnson faced the New York
Giants thrice in the Worlds Series of
IN1t hi
down, but at the end. throwing his
Train gained full steam and
hurtled through four innings of that
last great 12-inning struggle in the
National Capital to remarkable
victory. Frisch, Kelly. Young and
the other powerful sluggers OF the
Giants attempted to sidetrack it but
were hurled from the rails, for john
son was piling through to his des-
tination in a cloud of smoke.
Two hundred pounds of Drawn
we'll distributed throughout his six
feet have given Johnson a power of
mound delivery that few men have
equalled and surely there is none to
deny his claim to a brilliant record
of sustained achievement. Last sea-
son, his 10Th with Washington, he
won 81 games and lost 8, winning 10
in succession. On August % he held
the st. Louis Browns hitless for
seven innings, when the contest
ended.
In Is seasons he had 1916 strike
outs and 100 shutout victories.
Christy Mathewson stands second in
the matter of scoreless games. with
SO over period of II years and
Grover Alexander has II. Denton T.
(Old Cyl Young had only 70 shutouts
in his 81 years on the mound, and
Babe Adams of Pittsburg in long
career has been able to register no
more than As.
Johnson entered professional base
ball with Tacoma of the Northwest
ern League in 1906 and in the same
year appeared with the Weiser, Ida
no, semi-pro club. He started with
Weiser again the following year but
soon found himself with Washington,
never again to shift allegiance. He is
expected to pitch the first CONTEST
against tie Pirates at Forbes Field,

NEW YORK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York. Oct. 1-(AP)-Relaxa-
ton OF the recent strain in the
money market paved the way for
n vigorous recovery in stock prices
today. Standard industrial shares
assumed the leadership of the ad-
vance, with bullish enthusiasm
reaching its greatest intensity in
the motor and rubber shares and a
few of the specialties. Net gains
OF two to five points were scattered
freely throughout the list.
Lowering of the bank of Eng
lands discount rate from IL to
percent effectively dispelled fears
that the New York federal reserve
bank would raise its rate at this
time. With call money rates show
ing progressive ease throughout the
day, this conviction grew stronger
as trading proceeded and was borne
out after the close of the market
at the meeting of. the banks direc-
tors. Cal, money appeared to be
more plentiful with the passing of
the period of heavy dividend and
interest disbursements. Trade de-
velopments were mainly favorable
and were utilized TO advantage by
traders operating on the construc-
tive side of the market. Freight
movement Tor the week ending Sep
TENDER 10 again exceeded one mill
ion cars, testifying to a substantial
volume of fall trade. Crude oil pro-
duction again was. reported to be on
the decline. Tie announcement
early in the day that French debt
proposals had been found unaccep-
table was ignored as a market fac
tor in view of the virtual certainty
that attempts would be continued
to reach satisfactory settlement.
Speculative energies in the motor
group were concentrated on new
leaders, curbing the recent violent
fluctuations which had been in prog
ress among several favorites.
Dodge was a star performer
mounting four points to a new high
record above 33 on an enormous
turnover. General Motors resumed
its upward movement with fresh
vigor, attaining new peak price at
112 rs and closing . 3-.S points net
higher at Ill SIS. Game of one to
three points We're registered by
Chrysler, Hudson, Mack Trucks,
Chandler, Dodge preferred. White
and Pierce Arrow.
Time stocks kept pace with the
recovery in the motors. u. S. Rub
Der was the favorite in this group,
soaring five points to new top
price at 90 SIS on transactions ex-
ceeding 100000 shares. Estimates of
increased earnings this year and
the company's strong crude rubber
position attracted buying orders to
the stock. Lee Rubber and Tire.
Goodyear. B. f. Goodrich. and Fisk
first preferred followed with more
moderate gains.
With U. S. Steel again taking
prominent part in the advance, buy
ing interest was reawakened in
many representative industrial
shares. General Electric spurted up
five points and rallies of two to six
