LOUGHRAN is EASY
VICTOR OVER GROSS

PHILADELPHIA, October 2-Tommy
Loughran, king of the light-heavy-
weights, had no difficulty winning a
clean decision over Jack Gross, the
hard-punching southpaw heavyweight,
in l0-round contest here at the Phil
lies ball ground last night.
Spotting Gross 10 pounds in weight
and 2 inches in height, Loughran was
master of the situation at all times, and
outscored his opponent at will.
Loughran disdained boxing tactics and
slugged with Gross. Time and again
Tommy rocked Gross with solid upper
cuts and straight rights that carried
plenty of steam behind them.
1t was LOughran's fight all the way
with the referee and judges voting
unanimously to award him the decision.
Loughran at 1873 pounds was better than
he has been in recent fights.

ing has played a predominant
part in the decision of the
4 world series through the base
ball ages and the star boXmen
largely have run true to form. In the
impending battle between the Cardinals
and the Yankees, however. two frayed
and overworked stats will be pitted
against each other and the big question
Is whether the rival hurlers will be able
to match the form they have shown
through the regular campaign.
Although Miller Higgins says his
pitching will take care of itself" any
edge in the box rests with the Cardi-
nails Jess Haines had an erratic season,
but finished with nine straight victories
and eight complete games. He figures"
as the Cardinal starter, even against
a crew of left-hand maulers such as the
Yankees.
Wee Willie Sherdel lost two tough
games to Pennock in the 1925 series,
which Is one good reason for supposing
that he will win this time. If there
is any justice in the law of averages

Against this array Miller Higgins

injured wrist and various other all
ments. but they will have few days
to rest. and this is likely to be quite a
world series.
The Cardinals figure on paper to beat
the remnants managed by Miller Hug
gins, but that doesn't mean that they
will do it. New York and st. Louis
both have fighting teams and in short
series anything can happen.
The only past performance records
we have on the clubs when opposing
each other are gained from their world
series contests of 1926. won by the
Cards, four games to three.
In that series the players who hit
over $50 were Haines, Thevenow and
Combs. Other men who hit above 800
were Southworth, Bottomley, OFarrell
Gehrig and Dugan. Ruth hit exactly
300. Paschal was used five times He
walked once and once hit a Texas
Lacquer which scored a tying run. The
other three times he went out.
Four H0mers for Each.
Each club made four home runs
those for the Cards being clouted by
Southworth, Lester Bell. ThevenoW and
Haines New York's four were made
by Ruth. Many of the players I have
mentioned either are on other teams or
injured. From now on I propose to
consider only such players as are likely
to play in the coming games.
Bottomley and Ruth batted in five
runs each, Gehrig and Lazzeri each
batted in three, Haines and Dugan each
batted in two and Koenig, Paschal.
Douthit and Holm each sent one run
over the plate. Ruth and Hafey each
scored six runs. Bottomley scored five.
Meusel and Douthit scored three each,
Lazzeri, Haines and Koenig scored two
and Gehrig, Holm and Alexander each
brought one run home
Ruth received ten bases on balls,
Gehrig and Meusel five each, Douthit
drew three passes and Lazzeri, Paschal
and Holm got one each. Hafey struck
out seven times, Lazzeri and Koenig
famed six times each. Gehrig struck
out four times, Ruth Sherdel. Bottom

Meusel, Hoyt, Rhem and Haines famed

are the base ball champions of the
world, having trimmed Pittsburgh last
year In four straight games. This is
the third straight season they have been
champions of their league, and they
have largely the same team they had
in 1925.
Their greatest handicaps will be the
absence of Pennock. one of the greatest
money pitchers who ever threw ball,
and the questionable condition of Earl
Combs. who is mighty close to the most
valuable center fielder in the game.
The other members of the club are not
in the best of shape, but they are a
fighting aggregation, and probably at
their best in an important series. Hav-
ing seen them in post-season games for
the last two seasons, fans know pretty
we'll what to expect of them.
st. Louis has fine and game ball
club. 1t Is no easy thing to set the
pace down the home stretch with an
opponent running at your shoulders.
One stumble and the Giants would have
forged ahead but the Cards won when
they had to win. That is one of their
characteristics.
DOME Bush Lauds Cards.
Owen Bush. manager of Pittsburgh.
informs me IIldG Tile CdTQS are one Oh
the greatest clubs to grit their teeth
and hang on that he ever has seen. He
says they never are beaten until the
last man was out and I think they
proved this in those extra Inning games
in Brooklyn and Boston, when they
came from behind and hung on until
they won.
st. Louis is club where even Will
son, their flrst-String catcher. is fast,
and where some of the others are
streaks of light. 1t Is club with
plenty of heart, a lot of power and
punch. and, outside of Brooklyn. the
greatest pitching staff in the National
League.
Just as st. Louis must stop Ruth and
Gehrig at the bat, so must New York
stop Bottomley and Hafey. Bottomley
is great ball player. a great hitter
and poison in pinch. He is one of
those free-swingers who are likely to hit
anything any time. Hafey is another
terrific hitter. He may strike out, but
he also may strike the horsehide out of
the lot.
"Hafey," says Bush, caused my
Pittsburgh club lot of means. He's
apt to break up your ball game any
minute. Aside from that, he is a fielder
who can cover ground like a snowfall,
and his arm is one of the best I ever
saw. He not only has a strong arm
but he has control. That Hafey can
throw strikes from the outfield"
