Mc0raw's Inner Fielders Work
to Perfection With Either
Andy Reese or Andy Cohen
at Second; Yankee 1nfield
Has Best Hitting Average

New York, Sept. 25.-(R)-The in
field strength or weakness Of the
four clubs still in the thick Of the
major league pennant battles offers
q wide range Of contrast in figuring
the worlds series dope.
The Yankees have the heaviest
hitting array Of the lot, and the most
experienced. The Giants have the
fastest and Youngest set of inner
workers, brilliant quartet that av-
erakes only Is and hits for 1903.
The Athletics are another seasoned
group, with young firebrand in
Jimmy Foxx. The Cardinals rely
chiefly on the twin stars Of the
right side, Bottomley and Frisch.
On paper, the Yankees, averaging
800 at bat, present the most for
midable array, but their defense has
been weakened by the removal of
Joe Dugan and the long absence of
Tony Lazzeri, now back at his post
but not up to his 1927 form. The
substitution of Gene Robertson for
Dugan at third adds more punch to
the quartet, all the other members Of
which are well over the 900 mark.
but Jumping Joe's skill in the field
is missed.
Much of the late season squirt of
the Athletics was due to the infield
shift that first put the hard-hitting
Foxx on third base, then moved him
to first. with the veteran Jimmy
Dykes at the far corner. Bishop and
Boley form a great combination
around second base, while Max has
taken a new lease on life at bat.
There isn't snapper combination
to watch in either league than the
infield quartet of the Giants, no
matter whether Andy Reese or Andy
Cohen is at second base. Terry. al
ways a hard sticker, has developed
into one of the games best first
basemen, while Jackson and Lind
strom present a stonewall defense
on the left side. There is dash and
fire in the quartet, with Lindstrom
probably the ranking third-sacker
of the senior circuit now, smoother
workman than even the famous Pie
Traynor, Pirate captain.
The Cardinal infield, oldest and
weakest hitting of the four now in
the limelight, has not been together
long enough to function as smoothly
as any Of the others. It has the
most spectacular fielding second
sacker in Frisch, whose batting has
fallen off, and the leagues leading
cleanup slugger in First Baseman
Jim Bottomley. But the old war
horse, Rabbit Meanwhile, can't scoop
'em up at short the way Tommy
Thevenow did in 1926 before a
broken leg stopped his progress.
Andy High has replaced Lester Bell
at third and is doing nicely at it, but
he doesn't compare with Lindstrom
in any department Of the game.

College)
Teams of the Rocky Mountain
Conference, on 4 preseason reckon
ing, appear evenly matched for the
1928 football season. In the final
standing, the team at the top prob
ably will be one Of the larger con-
ference schools with sufficient re-
serve strength to maintain a VIM
ming pace in the face of heavy
schedule and possible injuries.
Dtnver University, second only to
Colorado Aggies last fall, should
have the outstanding team in the
Rockies this year. They have a
strong nucleus from their 1927 ag-
gregation, plus what probably was
the outstanding freshman team of all
time in this conference.
Albers and Specken, two high
class backs Of 1927. will find their
efforts supplemented by two sterling
freshmen, Clark of Loveland and
Ragland Of Denver. Although Coach
Fred Dawson, former Nebraska
mentor, is confronted by a heavy
schedule, he will be helped by play
ing practically all his games at
home.
Utah Teams Strong
Utah and Utah Aggies loom as the
next most likely title winners be-
cause of their freshman teams and
the size Of their 1927 squads. Utah
has lost few stars who played lazy
football last year. New blood from
the freshman team should give
Coach Armstrong the makings Of a
stronger team than the one that held
Northwestern University IL to 6 in
1927.
Although Utah Aggje lost a num-
Der of letter men, few were from the
first team. Hawley, big fullback,
and Linford, tackle, will be the out
standing losses. Worthington should
be able to replace HawleX Coach
Dick Romney il reportedDto have
had an unusually strong frosh squad
with which further to strengthen
his prospects.
Colorado Aggies, winners of the
conference championship a year ago,
will feel the loss of three outstand-
ing players-Captain Caldwell, half !;
Rankin, 214-pound fullback, and
Pitcher, 195-pound tackle. Gradua-
ton of six other letter men, and
some scholastic ineligibility, will

Hunt, Carleton Mentor, Re.
lieved by Return Of Veteran

Northfield, Mimi, Sept. 25.--
Carleton hopes for its opening game
against the University Of North DA-
kota were frightened somewhat yes
terday, after a period of setbacks,
by the return of Stuckslager, vet
eran end. The wing men had been
giving Coach Hunt considerable
worry, and the return Of the vet
was more than welcome.
In the scrimmage last night Hunt
lined up his first team with Perrin
and Satterquist at ends, Sartoris and
Freeburg at tackles, Akkeson and
Colburn at the guards, and Pres
McNurlein at center. In the back
field Captain Annie Since called the
signals. with Broberg at full and
Cable and Swanson ut the halves.
A number Of passes, with SINCE and
Cable doing the hurting and Broberg
and Setterquist most of the receive
ing. featured the practice.
The loss of Nicholson leaves Hunt
with real problem at center. Nc
Nurlen has been used at guard here
tofore, and is best placed there, but
will probably be given the call at
the pivot post.
Hunt plans to use a passing attack
against the Nodaks at Grand Forks.

utcs. Somebody has tempered with
the clock.
What Is It?
These remarks are directed at Mr..
David Belasco and not at william
Harrison Dempsey, who had nothing
to do with writing the play or stag
ing it. Mr.. Dempsey scores . knock
out over his opponent and gets 4 de-
cision from the critics. He's the
WOW" Of the show, if that's the cor
rect technical term.
AS for the play itself. it has every
thing in it except a wolf hunt in Si-
IBERIA and a burning railroad trestlc
with the heroine tied across the
tracks and the midnight freight
whistling in the distance. These
features may have been left out by
mistake. Otherwise nothing Is miss
ing.
Those who left the theatre wonder
ing whether they had seen a comedy,
comic opera or realistic
drama may be enlightened by the
verdict of two fight fans given dur
ing the last act.
Here comes Dempsey"
"Where :"
"Down from the back. He'll pass
right by us on the way to the ring.
Hey. Jack! Well, for crying out loud!
Did you see that?"
Whats the matter?"
THAT Belasco must be crazy. He's
sending Dempsey into a title fight
with clean shave! This is q farce!"

No Realism Here
Then again, the remarks and re-
torts between the champion and the
challenger are all out of order. They
threaten to Anock each other lop-
sided and indulge in other such
verbal crudities. It's 20 to that
man Belasco hasn't chummed around
in fight circles in twenty years or
more. KNOCK your block OFF,
You'll hit nothin' but the canvas!''
That's old style, like the Canterbury
Tales. Here's how it should 60,

lighted"
"Tiger Dillon? Why, Of course.
Charmed"
MAY the better man win and all
that sort Of bally rot"
"Right-o! So nice to have met
you in this informal way"
And 50 on. Those rough threats
heard on the stage are only uttered
by modern pugilist when his oppo-
nent is at distance and newspaper
men are close at hand.
Mr.. Josef Paul Cuckoshay, for in
stance, was sounding off in the old
style preparatory to meeting Jack
Dempsey at the Yankee Stadium a
while back, but when they CHANGED
to meet in Mr.. Richards office they
were lovely to each other; simply
lovely. "How is the family ?"
"Quite we'll. And yours" That's
realism. Mr.. Belasco, take notice.
A Violation of the Law
According to reliable reports, the
Battling Baker now going into the
ring against the champion every
night isn't the same Battling Baker
who appeared against Tiger Dillon
in Buffalo and points east.
The State Athletic Commission
and the Attorney General should
look into this matter. Such things
give rise to suspicion. Three
different fighters appearing un-
der the same name? It looks bad.
The theatrical explanation is that
Tiger Dillon (William Harrison
Dempsey wore out two of them and
is rapidly wearing out third, which
means that there will be a fourth as
soon as this one is washed up. The
explanation is reasonable, but the
situation is illegal.
Fight fans will be shocked at it,
because they remember certain
things. They remember the time
Ace Hudkins was scheduled to fight

discovered that the worthy oppo-
nent" was the regular sparring part

name. They remember the time that
William l.. Stribling knocked out

The more one finds himself in any
art, the more he appreciates it.
So how in the world could 4 pro.
fessional boxer or q boxing fan Ap-
preciate Jack Dempsey In his latest
stage play, where he takes the part
Of q heavyweight champion.
Yes, Jack fits the part all right.
But David Belasco is doing anything
but making his setting natural. He
signs up an honest-to-goodnesa
heavyweight champion, and then
proceeds, through his ignorance of
the game or what have you, to spoil
the natural setting by numbering
details.
Read what John Kieran saws in
the New York Times and weep:
Mr.. David Belasco should be taken
to task. As the theatrical handler
OF the famous worlds champion
Tiger Dillon civilian Harrison
Dempsey he has lapsed into many
astounding pugilistic errors. II
won't do.
In the first act Of "The Big Fight -
for instance, the heavyweight cham
pion of the world comes bouncing
down the steps of basement barber
shop, and just day away from a
big fight for the title, too. What;
with no police escort? With no ad-
vance guard of motorcycle cops ?
And basement barber shop !?
Halte-la! Rub that out and start
over again. Our modern millionaire
champions wouldn't be seen in a
basement barber shop. They reside
at the Ritz or the Commodore or
somewhere like that. They send for
the hotel barber, and he comes to
their rooms by appointment and en-
tiers the sacred precincts on his
hands and knees.

Serious Charges
In the second act the worlds
champion and his prospective oppo-
nent, on the eve Of the great day,
meet quite by accident in the rooms
of famous or, better still, infamous
gambler. How in the world did that
happen Possibly it looked like rain,
and they remembered that this
gambler was rich and powerful, and
maybe he might have an umbrella
they could borrow. Otherwise there's
no explanation. They just dropped
in. Queer places Mr.. Belasco leads
his pugilistic heroes into!
There's a touch Of snobbishness in
this scene, too. The gambler is
quaffing some drink that is sup
posed to be champagne. He offers
the champion, Tiger Dillon civilian
Harrison Dempsey, thin-stemmed
glass Of the bubblihg fluid, which is,
of course, refused. But when the
awkward and henighted challenger
stumbles in. what do they offer him :?
The air. They give it to him. They
make him take it. That isn't play
ing fair.
Boxing fosters sportsmanship.

look high, wide and handsome" into
their freshman squad. The team
probably will lack the punch it had
last year, although it may have more
versatility.
Four Are Rated
Along with Colorado Aggies are
four other teams which must be
ranked as having strong potential
possibilities. They are the Uni
versity Of Colorado, Colorado Col
leee, Montana State, and Brigham
Young University. Any one Of these
might be we'll up In the first divi-
sion at the end Of the season. And
any one Of them might drop to the
bottom of the second division.
Colorado Teachers College. the
Colorado School of Mines, the Uni
versity of Wyoming, and Western
State College can hardly be expected
to rank near the top this year. Each
school, however, has some fine ma
terial and may do we'll.
Last year the University of Colo
redo had large squad of green
men with an outstanding back in
Buck" Smith. He should shine
again this year, as should Bagnall,
star on a former freshman team.
With more experienced men than a
year ago, and better schedule, the
University should rank we'll to the
front.
Colorado College will no doubt
build it's team around "Dutch" Clark.
and Vanderberg, backs. Clark has
proven to be the most sensational
back produced in the Rocky Noun
tain division, and if given support
would cause lots Of grief for other
teams.
Has New Coach
Brigham Young will be headed by
OFT Romney, formerly at Manhattan
State. He should produce a strong
team this year.
Rowe and Corbett will be out
standing players this year.
On paper Montana State has the
material for a great team under
Coach Dyche, former assistant to
OFT Romney.
William Saunders, Navy, and for
mer line coach at Colorado Aggies,
is the new coach at Colorado Teach
ers. He will undoubtedly lay a
foundation for the future, being
handicapped by lack of reserves.
Stewart Clark, former assistant
coach at Wyoming, goes to Western
State. McLaren will continue at
Wyoming. as will Allen at Mines, but
like Teachers and Western State,
they are handicapped by small
schools and the consequent lack of
reserve material.
Rocky Mountain Conference foot
ball in 1923 should compare we'll
with other conferences. However,
there will be little opportunity for
comparison as but three intersec-
tional games will be played this
year. Utah University plays
Creighton of Omaha. Utah Aggies
plays Southern California, and
Montana State will meet the Uni.
versity of Nebraska.
