HENDRICKS HAS
CONFIDENCE IN
VETERAN STAR
BY JACK HENDRICKS
Manager Of the Cincinnati Reds
Written Tor the United Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Without
detracting a whit from the fine
pitching of Waite Hoyt and the
timely batting of the New York
Yankees, the st. Louis Cardinals are
still my pick to twin the world s
championship -
l look for "Petc" Alexander to
turn in a victory in his first start
against the American leaguers, and
once the teams get to st. Louis the
tide of battle should turn definitely
in favor of the Cardinals.
Shcrdcl pitched a game which
would have been "A winning one nine
times out of ten. He ran up against
Hoyt when the latter was at the
Teak of form, and hc tried to get a
curve ball past Fob Meusel which
went into the stands instead. That
WAS the story of the opening game.
Even with the loss of the open
ing game, / believe the Cardinals
are no worse than an even money
bet to win the series. Alexander,
Haines, Rhem and Sherdel, who was
not tired after yesterdays s effort,
constitute a pitching staff which
should be able to stop the Yankees
i'll short order. The only change in
my opinion about the outcome of
the series that | would make would
be to say that it now may take
six games before the st. Louis Cards
are declared champions of the base
ball world. I looked for them to win
within five.

opposition in his battle with Pimcn-
thai. The latter is fighting under the
colors of the San Diego Olympic
club and has turned in victories over
some mighty good boys. Listed
among his victims are Benny Chavez
and the crouchy Goldie Hess.
Hess gave ArraGon plenty Of
trouble here a year ago but Frankie
has improved considerably since
that time and is apt to surprise by
turning in a win over Pimenthal to-
right. Arragon has developed a good
right in the last year and this
coupled with speed and wicked
left, makes him hard to beat.
Pimcnthal, however, has knack
of turning in wins over left hand
battlers.
The bout should prove colorful
one for both boys are of the scicn-
tific class of battlcr, willing mixers
and good punchcrs.
In the scmi,final event, Andy
Brooks of Imperial may find a boy
that is a little too good. Joe Con-
trcras of san Diego is booked to
meet the Deacon and is rated by
flstic followers as favoritc to win.
Andy, however, punches hard and
is always a threat.
Jimmie jackson, an old timer
seeking to come back, will meet
Andrew Armstrong in the special
bout. These boys gave fans a run
Tor their money Il week ago and
should provide plenty of action.
The, opener will be between Jim

There may he even, more truth

The st. Louis board of strategy
elected to pitch to Ruth in the
opening game and the plan resulted
in costly defeat for Little Billy
Sherdel and the Cardinals. In pitch
ing to the Bambino, the Cardinals
traded three hits for one strike
out.

league champions nothing, but

kortments of slow curves held no
terrors for haseball's mightiest slug

iapped out two doubles, scoring both
times. Tho third time he faced
Sherdel, Babe was called out on
strikes after working the count to
two-three.
Then in the ninth he slapped out
single off Sylvester johnson and
helped get Mark Koenig home with
the final run of the game.

MAY ESCAPE TRIAL
Haig MurdereSS Not Want
ed Here or in Chicago.

Trial Of Lawrence Ghere and
Arthur McClelland for the MUIR
der Of Wilkinson Haag, Indianapolis
chain drug store official, who was
shot to death at the Green Mill
barbecue inn, May II, 1926, appeared
less probable today.
From a situation where Chicago
and Marion County both were anx-
ious to try the pair, the case now
has turned to where neither wants
the prisoners, Judson Stark, deputy
prosecutor. said today.
Marion County'S evidence is such
that McClelland can not be tried
here without Ghere, and the latter
has skipped $4,000 bond in Chi
cago. Cook County is seeking to
get Stark to resist a habeas corpus
effort Of McCllenad which has been
pending in Cook County several
weeks.
Stark today refused to enter the
case on the grounds that he can not
get conviction of McClelland with
out Ghere, who Cook County al
lowed to be released on bond on a
robbery charge.
Cook County refused to allow
Marion County to try the pair when
both were under arrest, on the
grounds that they could be con-
victed in Cook County.

Street FUNDS
SHIFT is URGED
Engineer Would Use Gas
Tax to Repair Paving.

On the ground that the city needs
money to buy materials for street re-
pair as much as for buying new
street repair equipment and fixing
up old machinery, City Civil En-
gineer L. N. Moore today announced
he will ask the city council to
amend an ordinance appropriating
$25 600 of gasoline tax money, passed
recently.
The ordinance limits use of the
fund to buying new equipment and
repairing old. Moore says only
about $1,000 is needed for equip
me1t and machinery repair.
Restriction of the fund to one
particular use only cause confusion
for the department. I will ask the
council to put as few strings on the
money as possible to enable the en-
cheering department to use it as
it sees fit" Moore said.
Street repairs can be made con-
siderably cheaper by the city's force
than by contract, Moore said.
The city will receive about sos 900
in gasoline tax money from the
State, March 1.

CHICAGO, Feb. IS. - TON
Thumb" pickpocket, who is known
to police all over the United
States, at last has grown old
enough to be prosecuted.
Half a dozen Chicago detectives
who met Tom when he stepped from
a Cleveland train last night said
he had reached the age of IL and
now was old enough to be punished.
He was taken to the juvenile home.
Two years ago, Tom, whose real
name is Frank Grzekiewicz, con-
fessed to more than fifty robberies,
but police released him when he
promised to "go straight" He was
so young that they couldn't do any
thing else with him anyway. Tom
jumped his parole and travelled all
over the country.
Women's organizations in Cleve-
land obtained his release after his
arrest there.
Recently he has been touring the
Far and Middlewest, learning" his
way. Police say he preyed principal
ly on women because he couldn't
reach mems pockets.
