PITTSBURGH STILL

NEW YORK, Oct. with all
the surprises and disappointments of
the 1925 season recorded in a clos
ed book, baseball today was ready
for the first game of the world
series between the champion Wash.
ington Senators aud the Pittsburgh
Pirates starting Wednesday in Pitts

cials, scribcs and those fans who
have enough money to qualify as
regulars, left 10 make sure of prom
iscd hotel room and get in on all
the preliminary conversation with.
out which Il series never can be
started.
John \. Heydler, president of the
National league, headed the New
York delegation which included
John j. ~MeGraw, manager of the
former champion Giants, and
llughie Jennings, his first assistant
Others in the party were Colonel
Jake RUPERT, owner of the Yankees
and his reformed prodigal, Babe
Ruth.
Opinions identified the speakers.
Those who picked the Senators
were American leagucrs, and those
who favored the Pirates were from
the National league.
Not Many Takers
Pittsburgh WAS still II q to ) fay

done in the financial districts, but
here was no Washington money in

If there is to be any betting, the
market may get some life III Pitts

may encourage the home town folks
to show their loyalty by making IT,,

Opinion as to the length Of the
series is just as evenly divided as
the gacsses on the winner. Some fiy
nr"l that the championship will be
decided in five games, while others
believe that il Will go the limit of
seven games. With two such evenly
matched teams, il looks certain, that

YUMA OFFENSIVE
IS TOO STRONG
FOR LOCAL LADS

in game featured only by the
splendid offensive work Of the
Yuma football squad, Central Union
high school wcnt down to defeat in
the opening game of the season on
the local gridiron Saturday after
noon, the boys from Arizona rum
njny up a total of 10 points while
the local squad S score was nil.
The Yuma squad ripped off two
touchdoWns IN the first quarter,
kickiug goal after thc first one and
missing the second. Thereafter Cen
traI managed to keep the ball away
from its goal posts until the third
quarter when Yuma scored again,
failing to kick the goal.
Central showed glaring weakness
cs in the attack and dcfense, but
with the team made up largely Of
green men, such misplays could have
been expected in the opening game.
The work Of Captain Willoughbv on
the line and Bill Peters in the back
field, stood out prominently through
cut the game. WilFoughhv WAS Il
tower OF strength in bursting
through The Yuma defense and in
keeping his men fighting. Peters
is the same good football player he
has always been aud with better
interference from his teammates, he
would hav" been able to- do much
better work against Yuma.
Lad Breaks Leg
The game was marred by an ac-
cidcHt in the second quarter when
Fullback Smith Of the Yuma team
suffered Il broken leg. Smith was
carrying the LaII VIXEN he was
tackled by Peters, the throw rolling
the Yuma boy over SO that his leg
caught under him and snapped
Smith is one Of Yuma 5 star play
crs, and his loss throughout the
season will be a heavy blow, Coach
Powers said.
Central viii be put through its
PAGES this week, Coach Armstrong
said, and the errors revealed by Sat
urday's game will be corrected if it
is possible TO do SO.
One thing that stood out in Satur
day 5 game was the wocful collapse
of Central 5 cheering section. With
as many students as Central has, it
uttered about two feeble chccps at
Saturday 5 game. To cheer or not
to cheer, is the question. If cheer
ing counts for ANYTHING, and any
