G0SLIN- MANUSH
BATTLE IN AIR
Fans Will Not Know Who Was
the Best Hitter Until Off
Gals Decide

New York, Oct. 1.-(P)-Although
Rogers Hornsby clinched the Ma
tional league batting title early last
week, the American league battle
between Goose Goslin of Washington
and Heinie Manush of St. Louis re-
manned unsettled until the last ball
was pitched yesterday. Final set
Element, in fact, will be definitely
made only when the official stats
tics are published next winter.
Goslni and Manush grappled down
the stretch in the closest batting
duel in the younger major league
since 1908, when Larry Lajoie
thought he beat out Ty Cogb on the
final day by making five singles.
But the official averages showed
Cobb with two or three more safe
ties than he popularity was supposed
to have, and the Detroit star led,
after all, with a mark of 1924.
The semi-official statistics of the
official American league statistician
show Goslin in the lead over Manush
today nv the thin margin Of one
point, $40 to 1878. Unofficial fig
ures throughout the major league
cities were at great variance on
these two players, and the final
truth will be known only when IT.
win N. Howe releases the official
standing.
Babe Ruth retained his mastery
over both leagues in home runs and
in runs scored, but again yielded to
Lou Gehrig in runs batted in. The
Babe tied his 1920 mark in home
runs with 81, making this season
rank in tie with the year Of his
Yankee debut, as his third best ma
jor league campaign.
The Babe crossed the plate 1862
times this year, against 1853 runs last
season, and batted in 144 markers,
only to see Gehrig shade him by one.
The first Daseman beat out the Babe
last year in runs batted in by q
margin of It's, the major league rec
ord, to 1854, although Ruth was set
ting new home run mark of so
while Gehrig was smashing only &c.
Lou again was second in homers this
season. but with a mere q.
Paul Waner led the National
league in runs scored this year with
al. Paul topped the National in
1927 with 131 runs batted in. but
Jim Bottomley of st. Louis took the
crown this year with 1873. Bottomley
also tied Hack Wilson of Chicago for
National league home run honors,
each getting 81.
Larry Benton Of New York re.
tanned pitching honors in the Ma.
tional, this time with 25vi ctories
and only defeats for .739. Waite
Hoyt made it an all-New York
proposition last year by taking the
American league title with 20 and
z for no, but Alvin Crowder, the
St. Louis star, gathered the honors
for 1928 by winning 81 and losing
only 5 for .808. Hoyt's won and lost
figures were identical with those he
established last year.

CARLSSET FOR
N0DAK CONTEST

Mortified, Mjnn., Oct. With
the opening game of the season
with North Dakota university at
Grand Forks only a week away,
Coach>C. J. Hunt is driving his men
as much as possible in an effort to
get their plays to functioning
smoothly by next Saturday. The
Carleton team expects a hard game
with the Nodaks with Captain Simso,
star triple threat man.. out of the
game with an injured right arm.
A number of last years men will
be back in the Carleton lineup this
fall, including Lester Gable, half,
back; Setterquist and Stuckslager,
ends; Sartoris. tackle; Akesson.
guard; and McNurlen, guard who
has been converted into a center.
Some of last years reserve men
who will see service are Moses and
Sprague, halfbacks; Swanson, full;
Carisch and Brown. quarterbacks;
and Clauer and Jensen, linemen.
The problem which Coach Hunt
has been working on during the past
two weeks in an effort to put out
strong Carleton team ION the field is
briefly this: develop a tackle to take
the place of Ray Smith, develop
center to take the place Of Jensen,
develop halfback to take the place
of Arlington, and fullback who
can do the work of Willegalle; all
Of these men were lost by graduation
last spring. In addition he must de-
velop a guard to replace McNurlen
and q tackle to, replace Hastings,
who failed to return.
The difficulty of the problem is
lessened considerably by the fact
that Coach Hunt seems to have some
excellent material, recruited largely
from last years freshman team.
For ends he has Perrin and Knowles:
for tackles, Spurbeck, Freeberg and
Beck; for guards, Grannis and COL
burn are playing the varsity on even
terms. Backfield recruits are linn
tied to Broberg and Salvi, who are
potentially the most promising men
in the Carleton backfield.
Starting in his line against North
Dakota next Saturday Coach Hunt
will use Setterquist and Stuckslager
at the ends, Sartoris and either Free
berg or Spurbeck at tackles, Akesson
and either Grannis or Jensen at
guards, with McNurlen passing the
ball. In the backfield Coach Hunt
will probably start Brown at quar-
ter, Cable and Mueller at halls, with
Broberg at full. Carisch, quarter
back, and Sprague, Swanson and
Moses at half, will probably be used
during the game.

The Bison mentors sent 20 men in
to the game and uncovered several
new stars. Cy Pescehl was the shin
ing light Of the day at quarterback.
The Wop ran his team smartly and
made several nice runs. Pete Ger-
gen didn't show up as in former
years, but the mentors expect him
to come into his old form soon. Pete
made an 18-yard run for a counter.
Shrum, Seliterman, Fiola. and

NODAKS BEAT
JIMS 80 TO O
University of North Dakota
Outfit Runs Wild Behind
Good Blocking

Grand Forks, N: D., Oct. H.
North Dakota's point q minute
steamroller applied some fast rum
ming tactics to overwhelm James
town college at Memorial stadium
Saturday, 80 to 0, in the university's
second appearance this year.
An IS yard run for a touchdown
from the kickoff by Paul Boyd,
North Dakota halfback, was the
longest gain made by the Nodak
legion. This came in the second pc
riod and followed an 80 yard dash
for a touchdown off the kickoff
shortly after the opening whistle by
Glenn Jarrett, sprinting sophomore
sensation.
According to oldtimc fans here,
the feat of running two touchdowns
back off the kickoff has never been
duplicated before at North Dakota.
Maintains Pace
Although Coach Jack West kept
his substitutes on a steady run
throughout, the Nodaks maintained
an even pace, counting 40 points
each half, while jamestown was be-
ing held to / first down.
jamestown presented green
eleven, which had something to do
with the score. Nevertheless. Coach
Cowles who VS. scouting the con-
test for Carleton prior to that
teams appearance here Oct. 6, ex-
pressed himself as impressed with
North Dakota's showing.
~ssk
Of their holes, hopping up the OPP
position and the task of the backs in
the ball was compara-
lively easy. Ideal weather helped
the crowd, which numbered 1000,
officials estimated.
jamestown Scraps
jamestown, although outclassed,
courageously throughout
its team play showed lack Of prac-
tice, but several individuals such as
Gussner, half; Weber, end, and
Watson, played well.
Jarrett flashed more brilliantly
than Curtis Schave Saturday. He
counted three touchdowns. Schave
ran the team well at quarterback,
however, and added some flashy bits
of play. Allen, Kahl, Boyd, Knauf,
and Tho.es were impressive.
knauf's tackling was the best seen
here this year.
Lee, center, and Showers and
Vern Smith, tackles, were outstand-
ing in North Dakota's line.
Between halves of the varsity
game, two teams selected from the
freshman squad put on 10 minute
scrimmage. They battled back and
forth to scoreless tie. Frank
Smith, halfback at South Dakota
State last season, cut loose with
enough ability to mark him as
fine all around performer.

Mr.. Hough recently returned from
New York and Chicago, where he
was in conference with the new
heads Of the organization.
The vaudeville season will open
shortly after Stuart Walker
terminates his season Of stock at
Keith's in September.
To my way Of thinking, the big
time vaudeville policy is the thing
needed at Keith'S in regular season.
I received a letter from Carlton
Guy, formerly in charge of the
Municipal theaters under Mayor
Shank, but now in Chicago, stating
that his play, "The Green Football
is being presented in Chicago this
week at the National Theater by
the Sistaire Stock Company.
n
It has always been my policy to
speak straight from the shoulder.
We have at Keiths this summer,
l think, the best organization OF
organizations that Stuart Walker
has ever given this city. I think
that Walkers plays this season
have been chosen with a fine re-
gard for his public. The thing that
worries Inc is that this worthwhile
organization is playing to too many
vacant seats. Walker is making no
howl. I am the one that is howiing.
We are going to wake up to the
fact one of these days to the zeal
worth Of the Stuart Walker Com
pany. 1 know that 1.-The Jest,
wonderfully acted and marvelcusly
mounted, did not do anything in
box Office way that it should have
done. Here was a big play that
had big acting. We have had casts
this season in plays that would make
Broadway jealous. A study of the
names of the players for Stuart
Walker this summer proves my
point. If we expect to keep Stuart
Walkers organization here season
after season we must patronize mis-
bills.

KEITH'S HAS A
CROOK PLAY

There has been variety OF
underworld drama offered recently
in the theaters, and several notable
'crook" successes have been given
already this summer by the Stuart
Walker Company at B. F.. Keith'S
Theater. In Night Stick however,
the Walker company will have We
hicle which has been acclaimed by
critics of the East as one of the
most gripping of the plays dealing
with the denizens of the underworld.
might Stick" will be presented
for the week beginning Monday
night, with Gavin Gordon and
Muriel kirkland at the head OF the
cast, and with Jack Storey, Charles
Starrett, Elizabeth Taylor. Will
Geer, Eugene Powers and George
Alison prominent in support. 1t
will be the third play by this group
of players since their return mere,
and the twelfth play of the current
Stuart Walker season.
The plot Of Night Stick" re-
wolves about a patrolman's daughter
who is engaged to a young detec-
tive who has already distinguished
himself in the service. But she
wants to get out of the atmosphere
of automatic pistols, man hunts,
night sticks and conversation deal
ing with criminals, so she swings to
the other extreme and marries an
ex-convict, a man whom, though
the girl doesn't know it, is being
hunted by her former ~fance for
shooting down a patrolman When
his back was turned.
The complications which arise
over this strange matrimonial ALI
ance, the love Of the detective for
the girl, and the crooks plan to use
his wife as a shield to save himself,
form the basis for the thrills of the
play.
John Wray, the Nugents-Elliott
and Jofn-and Elaine Sterne Car
ring, wrote the play in collabora-
ton. Elliott Nugent and John, his
father, are best known as authors
Of "Kempy' and 1.-THE Poor Nut,

Thrills to
Be Given
at Park
Claude Shafer to Make
Parachute Jump
Sunday.

M ANY inquiries have been re-
1VA ceived at the offices of the
Riverside amusement park during
the last two weeks in regard to the
next appearance there of Claude
Shafer, the daring parachute
jumper, known as the Patent
Leather Kid" and it is with a great
satisfaction that the park manage
ment announces that Shafer has re-
turned from his tour of the Middle
West and once more VII entertain
the Riverside fans, Sunday after
noon.
Five parachutes, apparently the
limit for balloon jumpers at the
present time, will be "cut" by the
Kid" tomorrow afternoon when he
scars over Riverside, although
Shafer is planning an attemrs to
break the worlds record at the park
in the near future, when he will try
to make six parachute leaps on his
way to the ground.
This has been done, balloon men
assert, but never from hot air
balloon, the one time when it was
accomplished having been from a
gas balloon in California several
years ago. 1t is, of course, necessary
to rise to an unusual height to per-
form this stunt.
1t is becoming the habit of many
families from out of town to drive
to indianapolis each Sunday and
spend the afternoon and evening at
Riverside, the high and dry auto
parking spaces, the free admission
to both children and grown-ups and
the sensational free attractions
furnishing fine holiday. Many
families bring their lunch along and
make use Of the parks free check
ing service for their baskets, while
others find the numerous res
taurants in Riverside serve whole
some food at reasonable prices.
Next week will see two more big
picnics at Riverside, the Weber Milk
Company customer" picnic coming
on Wednesday and the Brotherhood
OF Engineers and Firemen of the
Big Four occurring on Thursday.
