WILL PLAY With
ROBINS IN 1928

NEW YORK, Oct. IA, R-Dave
Bancroft, manager and short-stop of
the Boston Braves for the past four
form next season. His unconditional
release was announced here today by
Emil Fuchs, president of the Boston
club, but there was some mystery
about the actual details of transfer
ring his contract to Brooklyn.
Fuchs said Bancroft's release was
granted at the latterIs request and
that no money or players were in
volved in the transaction. At the
Brooklyn clubs offices, however, it
was indicated that cash considera-
ton figured in the deal. Baseball
men circulated an unconfirmed re-
port that the release cost the Robins
about $4,000.
Observers attributed the poor show
ing of the Braves this season in fin
islaing seventh as factor in Ban
croft's release, as we'll as the fact
that the shortstop himself fell con-
siderably below his usual high play
ing standards. Mr.. Fuchs, however,
, emphasized that the Boston club was
prompted solely by Bancroft's wishes
in the transfer of his contract to
Brooklyn. In a letter to Bancroft,
Fuchs praised the player as credit
to the American game" and extended
the Braves goodwill, best wishes and
affection"
Under four years of Bancroft's
leadership, the Braves finished eighth
in 1924, rose to fifth in 1925, but
dropped back to seventh last year and
this season.
Bancroft figured in a sensational
row with Earl Smith, Pittsburgh
catcher this seson. In game at
Pittsburgh after they had had some
dispute, Smith attacked the Boston
manager, knocking him down with
punch to the jaw The Pirate back
ston was fined $500 and suspended
for month as result.
The first break in the ranks OF
major league managers will not al
feet the Brooklyn clubs leadership.
Wilbert Robinson, veteran pilot, who
also holds the club presidency, has a
managerial contract for another year.
Bancroft, who finished his 18th
major league season this year, made
his professional debut in 1908 in the
Minnesota Wisconsin league Joining
Portland of the Pacific Coast League
in 1912 he served three years there
before being sold to the Philadelphia
Nationals. He played short with the
Phillies until the 1920 season, when
McGraw brought him to New York
in a deal. The Giants let Bancroft
90 to Boston to succeed Fred Mitchell
as manager in 1924, trading the
shortstop along with Bill Cunningham
and Casey Stengel for Joe Oeschger
and Bill Southworth.
Although he is 35 years old, Ban
croft is still rated as one OF the
greatest shortstops in the game.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA, R-
Big college football elevens modified
their forces and heavy guns today
for important conference engage

Most attention centered on the
Stanford University of Southern
California clash at Palo Alto. For
these great gridiron rivals the game
is as important as any of the sea-

one or the other from the conference
race. While the teams seem fairly

accommodate crowd of 10000 or

comes before storm or finish fight
made itself felt in the liniment-laden
air of hundred college gymnasiuns
throughout the east tonight as major
football teams made ready for the
sounding of the charge against worthy
foes tomorrow.
Arriving early this year, the open

powerful Notre Dame array out Of

New York state rivals; Pennsylvania
tries to hold its seasons record in

Lafayettes scoring juggernaut tackles
West Virginia.

the rule for nearly all the major
teams throughout the week, tapered
off today to a final polishing in
which personal contact was taboo.

that the Middies have scored SO points

the forward pass to a nne, point of
efficiency.
A Yale team which stumbled be-

that lost it's first game in two years
to Penn last week are rated on
even terms on the eve Of their battle

Used Fast Ball Only

OSeu rdSC Dali only
good fast ball is a winning asset
even in curve ball league.
George Pipgras, of the New York
Americans, conclusively proved that
in the second game of the world
series.
Despite the fact that the Pirates
are noted for their fondness for
speed, Pipgras won, as he pleased, a
game in which he didn't use over
dozen curve balls.
bad seat in the press box
nearby John McGraw, famous man
ager of the New York Giants. During
the early innings of the second game,
there was much comment relative to
the great number of fast balls used
by Pipgras.
mo twirler can get away with
that kind of pitching against the
Pirates" was John McGraw's view
point
Pipgras did get away with it
and in a most effective manner.
At no stage Of the game was he
in danger, although he threw only
a limited number of curve balls.
Curve Ball League
The National league is known as
a curve ball league, which means the
curve is the most used style of
delivery
John McGraw, one of the games
greatest managers, has always been
an advocate of the curve. He likes
the fast ball merely as a threat.
Since the ideas of John McGraw
are far reaching in the National
league, most of the managers have
come to the same view as McGraw
relative to curve ball pitching.
In the second game of the world
series, George Pipgras, Yankee re-
cruit, used a fast ball almost ex-
clusively, against a team noted for it's
liking for speed and won breezing.
That can be taken as quite a
compliment to the fast ball which
Piperas served to the Pirate
batters. He must have had some
thing OH it.
Recruits Hog Glory
In the remarkable victory scored
py the Yankee recruit, PipgraS, much
credit is due the clever manner in
which Benny Bengough handled his
stuff.
His was far from an suspicious
start when Lloyd Waner,s the first
man up for the Pirates, tripied to
left. 1t would have upset many a
youngster. No doubt Manager Hug
gins Immediately sent orders for
someone to warm up.
However, Pipgras settled down, per-
formed like a veteran and turned in !
one of the most remarkable per-
1ormances ever credited to a pitcher
working his first year as a regular.
When looked the Yankees over
in the spring, no one for a minute
thought two pitchers by the name
of Moore and Pipgras would PLAY
prominent parts in the first two
games Of the world series of 1927 |
Yet that is just what happened.
1 doubt If ever in the history Of
the game have two pitchers, little
considered in the spring, came 50
fast and played SO big part In
the success Of club as wiley
Moore and George Pipgras.
