ODDS ON CARDS
 ARE NOW 2 ID 1
National League Champions Are
 Overwhelming FaVorites

| New York. Oct. c-The odds which favor the st. Louis Cardinals | to win the world series heightened today 10 ? to l.
 Not since 1922. when the New York Giants obviously outcla ssed their -townsmen the Yankees, have the National League cha mp vorites in the post season battle. As baseball men from all parts of the country gather in New York to- day. the talk concerns not so much the probable winner of the series as it does how many games will have to be played before Sam Brea- don's club registers its second vic- tory over the American League pen- nant winners. | Two years ago. when New York and st. Louis met in the world ser ies, the Yankees were favorites, and it needed all the uncanny skill of old Pete Alexander to turn the tide in favor of the Cardinals. This year. thus far. the National League champions are the logical { favorites. The Yanks are so crip- 1 pied that they will have to enter the series with an experimental ball club-and experience of the past has demonstrated that a world ser ies is, no place to experiment. Miller Higgins. astute little pilot of the Yankees. is forced to make a HobSon's choice before the open ing game on Thursday. He can send in a team which includes three or four utility men and trust to their coming through, or he can call on his crippled regulars for eXtraor- Ginary efforts and risk seeing the whole series snatched away by q we'll balanced, well prepared rival ball club.
 Judge kenesaw M k.andis. high commissioner of baseball. has come to town to see the series start de- spite severe attack of influenza which laid him low in Madison Wisconsin, recently. The commis, sioner opines that it will be a great series with the best club winning.
 s"How's the Babe?" the judge asked upon arrival in New York. He said he had seen Ruth in the midst of batting slump just before slumping himself before the flu germs.
 Upon being assured that the Bambino seemed to be himself again. after brief workout at Yankee Stadium Monday, the com- missioner hreathed sigh of relief and expressed the opinion that the series then would be able to open on Thursday.
 The Cardinals. with four good pitchers ready for work, as com pared with two reliable performers on the Yankee pitching staff. went through q fast workout yesterday and emerged cocky and self-satis, fled.
 I've ought to win, and within siN games" Bill Mckechnie. manager of the National League champions declared.
 1 Miller Huggins is not given te predictions. It is hard, in fact. te get a diminutive manager of the Yankees to admit that it is a pleas ant day, even if the sun is shining and the thermometer registers 7t in the shade. Yet Higgins has beer stirred up by talk that his club l' going to be an easy victim Tn the forthcoming series. and Huggins k ready to tell the world that the American League champions are oul to win.

JACKIE FIELDS HANDS
 THOMPSON A BEATING
Los Angeles Battlcr Proves to Re the Latest Ring Sensation Out
 nR NaSf
of West

San Francisco Oct. R,--A smil- ing clean cut youth of cl who beat man who beat a champion today was the newest ring sensation to rise out of the west.
 The youth Is Jackie Fields, tire less puncher from Los Angeles. and the ten round beating he gave Young Jack Thompson. Negro contender for the weltcrweight title. last night, may have placed him in line for a title bout soon.
 Fields handed the Negro. con- queror of the Champion Joe Dundee in non-title fight, the worst heat ing of his career. Thompson has been matched for a title bout with Dundee in New York. November 1s, but Gig Rooney. Fields manager. previously declared he had received q letter from Tom McCardle, New York matchmaker. indicating will ingness to pit Fields instead of Thompson against the champion. provided Fields defeated the Negro contender.
 Fields. weighing 1852 pounds to IA for Thompson. pummelled his dusky opponent with a wilting body attack and short lefts and rights to the face to win seven rounds. Thompson's rallies in the sixth and seventh rounds gave him those ses. sion. The fifth was even. It made eleven straight victories for Fields, five of them by knock. outs.

PRINCETON AGAIN l HAS OLD SYSTEM
Roper Feds Int Hadds System Has Lost Advantages

New York. Oct. ! N1Princeton. first of the big eastern colleges to adopt the huddle system. has revert ed to the old signal-calling system in vogue before quarterbacks had 70 much vocal opposition from the crowds.
 The change was not made be- cause Bill Roper. the Tigers head coach. thought the crowds were going to be any smaller this season. But Bill feels that tho huddle system has lost one of its chief advantages through the new ruling which forces players coming out of the huddie to halt full second at the line of scrimmage before the ball can be snapped. Heretofore the ball could be passed back before the defensive team had g change to meet new line or back formations. A quarterback with 8 husky pair of lungs ought to be able to be heard above the clamor of the crowd, however loud the noise it makes. Bill opines. At any rate the quarterback will be calling sig nals when Princeton lines up against Vermont in its opening game on Saturday.
 The other two-thirds of the one time "big three." also get their initial tests on the coming weekend. Yale, featuring an aerial attack, takes on Maine. While Harvard ia meeting Springfield.
 A defense against lateral as we'll as forward passes is being stressed this week by "Bih' Jones of the Army which battles the Southern Methodist university's crack array in what should be the banner engage ment of the week. Another team from below the Mason and Dixon line. William and Mary, comes north to uphold the south's football prestige against a Syracuse eleven still in the process Of finding itself. Not to be outdone. the north sends Colgate to Nashville. Tenn, to face Vanderbilt. Completing the inter- sectional card 30 far as tho east ti concerned is West Virginia univer- sity's fray at Wheeling against the Haskell Indians. of Lawrence. Kas.
 There will be plenty of work for Navy Bill" Ingrams Annapolis Midshipmen this week. The Navy got of on its wrong foot against Davis Elkins and needs to be in bet ter form to down a pretty good Bos- ton College eleven.

PITCHERS PLAY
 IMPORTANT PART
Yankee and Cardinal Hurlers Are Prayed and 0YtrWorked

New York, Oct : tR - Pitching has played a predominant part in the decision of the world series through the base ball ages. aud the star boxmen largely have run true to form. In the impending battle between the Cardinals and the Yam kees, however. two frayed and overworked staffs will be pitted against each other. and the big question is whether the rival hur,- CTS will be able to match the form they have shown through the regti- lar campaign.
 Although Miller Huggins says his pitching Twill take care of itself," any edge in the box rests with the Cardinals. Jess Haines had an er- ratio season, but finished with nine straight victories and eight com plete games. He "tigures" as the Cardinal starter. even against a crew of left-handed maulers such as the Yankees.
 We Willie Sherdel lost two tough games to Pennock in the 1926 se- ries, which is one good reason for supposing that he will win this time. If there is any justice in the law of averages, Willie will take the close ones in the forthcoming bat | tie.
 old Alex the Great is q. instead i, of 39. but he still is Alex the Great and many of the Yankees remem- Der it. Another veteran. Clarence Mitchell. the southpaw spitballer. has a mean way of making strong batsmen weep over that dinky curve. He hasn't got a thing" but many clubs can't hit it, particularly the Giants.
 Against this array. Miller Hug gins must hurl an overworked Hoyt, an uncertain Pipgras, veteran Zachary.and no Pennock at all.
 The Cardinals will depend on the above mentioned quartet to start all games, and Huggins will be tempt- ing fate of which he already is suspicious if he ventures forth with anybody except the "big three" who helped the three-time champions stagger under the wire.
 The 1928 series presents to Hoyt the greatest opportunity for per sonal achievement since Matty and Coombs and Adams were in their prime. AS good as he is. Hoyt is some leagues short Of big six at his best. but he is young enough. and strong. If the Yankees are pulled through, the final check up doubtless will reveal Master Hoyt in possession of three victories and no defeats-a mark shared only by Matty. Adams Coombs and Stanley I ICoveleskie.
 The former Cleveland Pole won his third victory in battle which never would have been played in a seven-game series-it was the fifth Indian triumph in one of the four Vve-out -of-n mine clashes in world series history. But Matty and Adams and Coombs earned their laurels over the seven-g game route, Matty and Coombs in seven-game series decided in five.
 Other pitchers, including Din neen, Wood and Faber. have won three in series, but all have lost one or moee.

HARDWARE A. C. WILL
 STAGE FIGHTS AT ARENA
Compromise Reached Betweea Officials of Club and Perlstein - Only One Organization to Operate In This City During the Coaing Season-First Card Scheduled for Next Week - Favorites In Former Amateur Ranks to Be Seen.

Following . conference between the officials of the Hardware 4. c. and A. g. PeFlstein. one of the pros prietors Of the stanley Arena, both of whom sought licenses for con. ducting boxing bouts in this city at . meeting of the license commits tee last Tuesday night. 1t has been decided that there will bs only one fight club to operate. that being the Hardware A. c. which was repre. scented by J. J. Whaler.
 Tho Hardware A. c. will conduct its boxing bouts at the Stanley Arena. Articles of agreement cover. ing all tho details, have been drawn up and sigped by both parties. This leaves the field open to . single club which will operate new-talent shows here.
 Following the meeting of the Ii. cense committee at which both Mir. Perlstein and Mir. Whaler appeared, 1t was thought that the t~o clubs would operate in competition with one another. This would not have been conducive to the best interests of the sport in this city and boxing fans are exultant over the amicable settlement of the question between both parties.
 Although the plans of tho offi' cials of the Hardware A. C. are anything but definite at the pres ent time. it is proba ble that the first boxing card of the season will bs staged at the arena next week. The boxing shows will probably be con. ducted every second week with all tho old favorites of the former anna teur ranks. being seen in action.
 Tentative plans are in the works to bring Jack Britton. for years welterweight champion of the world to this city in one of the feature bouts. For the most part. the shows will be all in tho class now known as new-talent. These will feature all of the leading performers in the amateur ranks. All of them have been seen in action in this city at one time or another.
 A probable star bout for the opening show will be for the cham pionship of this city with Joe Zotter pitted against Jimmy Cltnch. Zotter's star has been calling. high while Clinch has been meeting with great success recently.
 Announcements on the further plans of the fight club managers will be made within . short time.

BY HENRY, l.. FARRELL NEA Service Sports Writer

Only the great pitchers are able to maintain a steady winning pace over a period of years. The best pitchers have their good years and their bad with such reg ularity that their managers make their plans and build their hopes accordingly.
 Charley Root had a great year last year with the Chicago Cubs but when the chances of the club in the 1928 race were being discussed last winter, Root was rated as a doubt full quantity.
 He was too good last year. He IS due for an off-year this year." it was said.
 For the same reason the new owners of the Cleveland Indians were optimistic about the chances of their club.
 "uhle is due for a good year." they said. He was off last year and he works that way. He ought 10 be good this year.
 Some pitchers have one great season and come back the third season after the intermediate slump. The flashes have one great season and never show again.
 Considering consistency over 8 long period of years. there is no pitcher in the game today like Old Pete Alexander. Urban Shocker ranked next to him in the life time averages. but poor Shocker is gone.
 Among those rated as veterans there is Waite Hoyt. the ace of the New York Yankee staff. who is go- ing right along in the accumulation of great record.
 It seems rather out of tune to hear Hoyt referred to as veteran. It doesn't seem so many years since he was known throughout the land as the Brooklyn school boy. It hasn't been so long. in fact. And it hasn't been so many years since Bobby Jones was the Georgia child and Winnie Richards was the New York infant.
 Hoyt is only 29 years old now but he has been campainging for ten years in a row in the big time and he has been pitching professional baseball since he was a pink cheek ed. roly-poly kid of seventeen.
 He was with the Giants when he was 19 and although he lasted only one inning he got his name in all the papers and his picture has been appearing in print with incrca sing regularity ever since.
 Hoyt led the American League last year in the least number of runs scored against him per game And he will be close to the top this year. That is some sort of consist ency in a day when pitching con- sistency is a gem.
 He won 2c games and lost z last year and he won ?" games and lost only : this year. And four of the games he lost went against him b, one run.
 In eight years with the Yankees he won l43 games and lost S7 foI
 
 the earned run average against him has been about $40 per game.
 Hoyt is q rugged young fellow who thinks enough of baseball as a career to keep i'll condition. Ht takes very good care of himself ant he should have several good year: ahead of him because his arm is moi on the verge of decay and he ha. q good head when the other ma chinery gets creaky.
 He has made good money ant cut in on q lot of world serie. dough since he has been with tn. Yankees. He IS d mortician dur ing the winter months and is tn, ! owner Of new home and estate a | Larchmont N. Y.
