Lee Meadows, Pitcher

The bespectacled Lee Meadows figured largely in the 1927 triumph of Pittsburgh. Called upon in emer- gencies to hurl out Of turn, the vet eran Lee was consistent winner and before the season closed he had chalked up a score Of victories against one-third as many defeats. With his bespectacled running mate, Hlll, he was the outstanding Pitts burgh hurler of the year.
 It didn't take Meadows long to break into the big show when he de- cided on baseball as a career. He spent two years with Durhau-1923 and 1924-and then went to the St. Louis Nationals where he remain ed for five successful seasons. He joined the Philadelphia Nationals in 1920 and came to the Pirates fin 1923.

FORMER FRIENDS
 BATTLE SATURDAY
Three Coaches Have Fond Memo
 ries Of Their Playing Days

,Chicago. Oct 4 GP>-Three of the middlewest's football contests of next Saturday will bring together coaches with fond memories of their player days. who now are exerting every effort to defeat their former comrades.
 Pat Page, who was one of the shining lights on Coach Stagg's Chi cago Maroons years ago, will make his first trip to Stagg field Saturday in the role of hostile opponent, when he leads the Indiana university eleven against his former mentors squad.
 Potsy Clark, new head coach at Butler. takes his squad over to the old alma mater at Illinois Saturday. for another try at Zuppke. Years ago, while Zuppke was scouting for Iowa in the Yale bowl, the Butler team surprised and defeated Illinois.
 Next Saturday, Charley Dorais and Knute Rockne. who formed a great forward pass combination for Notre Dame years ago, Dorais at quarter and Rockne at end, will test out their pupils passing ability. De- troit held the army to six points Sat urday and is expected to give a good account of itself against Rockne's ramblers.
 The Wisconsin practice Monday was held entirely indoors, due to the dismal weather Mckaskle, a regular guard, was the only casualty of Saturday, and he is expected back shortly.
 The Iowa jinx Is being developed again for the benefit of Ohio State the Buckeye since 1922 in the days of Gordon Locke, makes the Ohio prospects, despite q wealth of fine material. none too glowing, Iowa has won three and tied one, to match the lone Ohio victory in that period.
 The Oklahoma Aggies, champions of the Missouri Valley conference last year, are already Wltnln a lew hours ride of their Saturday battle with Minnesota. They are complet- ing their training at the Carleton college gridiron at Northfleld. Minn., Coach Spears used knoerr at full back yesterday. in return for his excellent showing against North Da- kota Saturday, and may send Knoerr in to take the place of Herb Joest- ing, saving the All-American full back for his conference foes.

PIRATES HAVE 4
 PITCHING EDGE
National League Hurlers Seem
 Better Than Americans

Pittsburgh, Oct 4 LP-Pitchins is usually an uncertain although decis- i've factor in worlds series competi- ton.
 Victory, on the average. has gone to the club with one CT two twirllrg aces. The records are full of the triumphs that come in baseballs classic through the feats Of Mathew son, Coombs. Adams, Coyeleskie and Alexander.
 If pitching is 10 be the turning influence in this weeks battle, the Pirates seem to have a better chance oI victory than the Yankees Ruth, Gehrig and their mates may down the Corsair curvers but On form, both for the season IS well as during the past month, the Pirate pitchers appear a. better equipped lot than the Yankee staff
 The average of earned runs of the Pirate hurlers for the last month has been only 2.4G a game, oil the Yankees, 3.34.
 It will be chiefly a battle of right handlers, at any rate Dutch Pueth- CT isn't likely 10 try his southpaw slants at all against the Bucs and
New Britain herald., 1927-10-04

Herb Pennock, although he never has been beaten in 3 worlds series. has not measured up to the usual form. The Pirate southpaws. Yde and Cvengros, are both reservists.
 Two flanders, Ray Kremer for the Pirates and Waite Hoyt for the Yankees, are expected to start and the second game probably will witness another starboard exhibition between Wiley Moore and Vic AL dridge.
 kremer, with seven victories in a row in September. has the best record of any Of the contending pitchers in the last month. Strong and with lots of stuff, the Califor- nian is the main Bucoaneer bet.
 Aldridge, the Hoosier Schoolmas- ter, and John Miljus, late season ac- quisition from Seattle. ranked next to kremer in recent form.
 Both may get preference over Lee Meadows, veteran moundsman, and Carmen Hill, bespectacled star, in Manager Bush's selections.
 Against these five aces the Tank ees will toss Hoyt. Moore. Urban Shocker, Pennock and probably George Pipgrass, who has shown as brilliant form as any of his older and more experienced mates in the last month. Moore, one Of the 1927 sensations. is a veteran, even though ln his first year as a major leaguer.

SERIES SIDELIGHlS

Pittsburgh, Oct. 6 P-The press box or "dugout' in back of Forbes Field home plate will hold between 400 and 500 experts and 2S0 gallons of water, statisticians estimate, if there is a repetition of the 1925 worlds series weather in Pittsburgh.
 The speed of the Pirates on the base paths promises to give Yankee irfielders something to worry about. Lloyd Waner is rated the fastest man in the National League down to the initial sack. He beats out infield raps consistently. Forcing hurried throws. the younger Waner has beaten ten seconds for 100 yards. George Grantham, another flash on the paths, has several times duplicated Ty Cobbs' stunt of scoring from first on a single.
 If football tactics are injected into the games an umpire may, from force Of habit, step off five yards TOT Oll-SlQe, or lIItteN EdTuS TOT holding. Ernie Quigley puts off the mask and chest protector of base hall and picks up a referees whistle on western football fields and Charley Moran was with the Pray ing Colonels" as their coach when they put Centre on the football map.
 Some Pittsburgh fans have evi dently been talking to Gene Tunney, sports best word juggler. Stick CTS on automobile windshields ex- horting the Pirates to go out and die for good old Pittsburgh tell them to capture" the worlds championship. No advice here to grab" or ''cop" the series.
 Forbes Field could have been sold out three or four times, Pirate off cials claim, hasing their assertion on the fact that 22,00O requests for ticket allotments had been turned down after the limit was reached. It meant rejection Of nearly s500,- GOO in money, Barney Dreyfuss added.

PIRATE SKETCHES
Ray Kremer, Pitcher

Despite a knee injury early this season. Ray kremer came back be- fore the flag race closed and proved his hurling skill was not affected by the layoff. At the outset this year, Ray was the outstanding Pirate pitcher. He won at will. Then came his layoff and on resumption of duty he had several bag games, But be- fore the close of the season he came back with a vengeance, his victories being two 10 one as compared with losses.
 Kremer broke in with Sacramento in 1914. Before coming to Pittsburgh ten years later. he played with Salt Lake. Vancouver. New York Giants and Oakland. In 1924 he won IS and lost 10: 1925, won 17 and lost s. and in 1926, he won place in the pitching hall of fame by turning in % victories against losses.

HARVARD MAY USE
 FORWARD ATTACK
May Use Aerial Game Against
 Purdue Next Saturday

New York, Oct 4 LPl-The chance that Harvard will open up with a forward passing attack against Pur- due university Saturday In the Harv- ard stadium is building Up interest in this first of the important inter sectional football games scheduled in the east.
 The coaching staff is not alto gether satisfied with the progress made so far but expects to inject a scoring bunch of winning dimensions before the arrival of the Boiler makers. Under the system devised by Coach Arnold Horween, now in his second year at Harvard, the Crimson is using many of its for ward passes on the end Of lateral liips, completing what actually amounts to triple pass
 Harvard football under Horween is q continuation Of some of the points Of eastern and western styles. The Harvard mentor played profess sional football with the Chicago Bears. following his graduation from Harvard Two members of his staff are from the middle west. Duke Dunne came from Northwestern to become head line coach and Chuck Carney was recruited from Illinois to take charge of the ends.
 Eastern observers looked for an aerial bombardnlent against Purdue in view of the failure of the Grim son line to make much headway against Vermont last week. One of the wingmen and the fullback have been shifted into the tackle positions in anticipation of a smashing attack from the Hoosiers.

Mike Cvengros, southpaw hurler, was purchased by the Pirates last winter from New Orleans of the Southern league. Mike made a fine showing at the Paso Robles training camp and when Pilot Donie Bush turned his rookie gang loose as the season opened he retained Cvengros.

Pipgras, like Wiley Moore, came to the Yankees this year from a minor league club and made good with bang. RePrds just before the close of the season showed him in third place in the league behind his teammate Hoyt, and Rommel of the Athletics, with an average of .750. He had pitched in 27 games, nine of which were credited as wins and three as losses.

The All-Hartford football team is seeking to arrange game with the All-New Britain team and the local promoters will probably take the team on the schedule if an open date occurs.
 There are two teams in the Capi- tai City, the Giants and the All Hartfords. The latter is composed of football stars gathered from Hartford and it's roster contains the names Of the Landers brothers and others who have been we'll known to New Britain grid fans.
 The All-New Britain team goes to Stapleton, Staten Island, next Sunday, The 18th is open at the present time but on the 23rd, the Submarine Base eleven from New London will play here.
 The local team might possibly meet the Hartford Giants in this city on October 18th though this is !IOL I'l!I4iltIS oellled as ytl.
 Dates are left open on the sched- ule for All-Bridgeport and the Hartford Giants and these games will constitute the state play this season. Both of the out of town outfits are strong and after a few more games, will be ready to stack mp against the powerful eleven New Britain has gathered together this year.
 Coach Moran of the Yellow Jack cts who "bawled out" his players in no uncertain terms last Sunday, stated that the All-New Britain club was the first non-National league team that was able to score first downs on his club in the last two seasons. New Britain rushed through for five first downs in the game in Frankford last Saturday and in the contest in this city, the locals made thfee.
 The Yellow Jackets put in eight hours of practice daily at their home grounds when not playing games. Any team that devotes so much time to football. should be perfect when it meets opposition.
 Leary, captain of the Fordham team last year and end on the foot hall squad, was let go by the Yel- low Jackets Sunday afternoon. He will find if easy to get a job play ing with some other club because he is q sweet end and q powerful ad- dition to any line.
 The Yellow Jackets cut down their squad considerably after the two games with New Britain. Sev- eral hackfeld men were given their release and q number of other lines men.
 II looked like the "hig parade" the way the Jackets sent in substi- tutos last Saturday and Sunday. New Britain had three suhs'itutions On Saturday in the first half and two in the second. Yet. the team was beaten by only three touch- downs on both days.
