MUCH DEPENDS 0N
 PITCHING STAFF:
All Four Of Contsadins Clubs
 Have Grtat SbarphooteE

New York, Sept. :7 N,-A famous manager once declared pitching to be sixty per cent of the worlds series battle. Most of the cham pionship history bears this out, punctuated as it has. been by the feats of Mathewson. coombs, Babe Adams. Chief Bender. Coveleskie. Johnson. Alexander and Pennock.
 No matter how the stirring pen nnnt races finish, there should be a number of pitching thrills. whether it turns out that Larry Benton faces Waite Hoyt or Lefty Grove. or whether Old Pete Alexander matches his cunning with old Jack Quinn or George Pipgras.
 All four Of the pennant contend- ing clubs have great sharpshooters, but the Cardinals and Athletics have expended more on their moundsmen than either the Giants or Yankees. Both the Cards and As have a wealth Of box material, while the two New York cluhs have had 10 rely on two or three stars. The Yankee staff, n fact. has been pret- ty weil shot to pieces this year. and even it's reliabies. such as Hoyt and Pipgras. are feeling the effect oi over-work.
 Larry Benton's great twirling did as much as any single factor to keep the Giants in the race. He has won 25 games. He had lot of help most of the year from Freddy Fitz- simmons. who has won 20. but late ly F'itz has fallen off. being unable to finish the last two games he has started. To the rescue has come young Karl Hubbell. the sensational Texas League recruit. who beat the league-leading Cardinals twice in a row last week. Hubbell has real grit to go along with his pitching stuff. He will bear watching If he gets chance to work ill the series.
 Joe Genewich and Jack Scott, who was a hero of the 1922 series for the Giants. are in the second line of McGraw's pitching defense.
 The Cardinals have three veterans in Alexander. sherdel and Haines who know what the worlds series battle is all about. Old Alex has earned place alongside Render as one of the greatest "money pitchers" of all time. If the Cards win out it would not be surprising to see these three bear the entire pitching burden. with Clarence Mitch rll. Flint Rhcm and few others in re- serve.
 The Yankees. if they stick to the top, will miss Herb Pennock's crafty left arm in the big battle. He hasn't pitched since late August and proh- ably won't be able to do so again this year. It is a bad break for the fox hreedr of Kenneth Square. too, for he has won lives games and

never met defea: in series competi- tion, record he shares with Jack Coombs.
 Wiley Moore. who was a big fac tor in the 1927 triumphs of the Yankees, also is out of action. put ting all the more burden on Hcyt and Pipgras. old Tom Zachary has aided the Hugmen in their closing fight. He won two series games for Washington in 1924 and is ready to repeat. Henry Johnson also is avail able.
 Lefty Grove, the southpaw speeri- ball king. and Jack Quinn, remark : able 42-year-old veteran. have been the mainstays Of the Athletics. Grove has won g games and lost eight. six of which were to the Yankees. Both would be colorful worlds series figures. Connie Mack has a great relief hurler in EdtJ !.

Clarence was just short of the green. They both clipped up well but both took two butts to haive in 5s.
 A :ss yard par five hole now faced them. Both hooked and were far short of their standard drives. The pace gas beginning to tell. Dave was in the fairway by a scant margin. He played and just missed running into trap to the right of the green. Clarence went on the green but his ball rolled far past the pin. It was 8 question who was away. No one appealed to in the gal lery would venture a decision.
 So Earl Higbee. as a member of the tournament committee, measur- ed the distance between the two balls with the flag stan and judged that Clarence had ts shoot first. He ran his putt down to the left of the hole three feet away. Dave came up to within four feet and then his butter failed him. Clarence tapped in perfect putt. Manning shook hands with Manning while the gal lery cheered two of the gamest play CTS who ever have met on the Shut tie Meadow course. \ third brother followed tths players and divided hts allegiance between the two.
 The last three matches have dis played excellent competition and very good golf. Hart and Barnes were tied with 7as and Ted won the extra hole in par four. Hart and Sweeney scored 76-77 with Ted the winner on the l7th hole. And yes- terday the Mannings each played IS holes in 75s.
 Sunday the finals will be played offfY. There will be two rounds. one in the morning aud the other in the afternoon. It promises to be a close match we'll played. Manning and Hart are evenly matched as both are rated as six handicap men. Ted has had medal scores of 75. 19 and 76 in the championship rounds and Clarence played his matches close to that mark, There is little to chose from in their play. Both are good putters and approaches. Manning plays long irons and Hart excels with the brassie. Either would wear the crown Of champion with mod esty and credit to the club.

 FOR SECOND GAME
Little World SeriS Continues
 With Fisd Temperature

Rochester, N. Y.. Sept. e7 Rt- Showers and continued cool weather and a battle ot southpaws were forecast for the second game of The Little World Series' here to- day.
 Manager Bruno Betzel of the ln- dianapolis Indians delegates Emil Yde. former Pittsburgh Pirates star, to work hts, left-handed magic on the Rochester Red Wings and make 1t two in row for the American association pennant winners
 Billy Ssuthworth. directing the In- ternational league champions. was confident that Lefty" Irwin, anoth- CT and younger southpaw, would stop the Indians and even the ser les. There was possibility South worth might switch to Art Decatur before game time but the proba bil- ity was that Irwin would start.
 Although licked to in II in- ninEs in yesterdays frisid thriller. Rochester appeared 10 the experts to be the faster team but lacked the vital punch that puts, runs across the pan. The Red Wings had 15 men stranded on base against eight for Indians and in seven innings two or more Rochester runners were left high and dry.
 Manager Southw orth. who carried off the batting honors himself with three safeties out of six times ut bat, was giving due thought to the inability Of his team 10 drive home the needed tallies, but there was little likelihood of shakeup today.
 The unseasona bly, cold weather apparently was the big feature. With the temperature around %6 the less hardy fans abandoned their seats at the baseball park and dashed for one of the countless radio centers and movie cameramen after nasty shots left their posts on top of The press coop for more sheltered spots. The traditional ice cold pop bottle was absent and in it's place came steaming hot cccoa.

 For . while last night it looked as if COrbett was going to score an even more decisive victory. The Californian started fierce attack in the first round that gave him a lead and had Baker on the verge Of knockout in the third. But the soldier scrapper gathered the storm and scored heavily with a punishing body attack in the clos ing rounds.

Tonight at Rogers Recreation AL ] leys, 2 state league match will be rolled between Manchester and New Britain. The New Britain bowlers handed the eilk Tswners . facing in M@pchester last Monday night and they are confident that they will re- peat the victory tonight.
 A beneht baSebsll game will be staged at Willow Brook park Satur. day afternoon between two chosen teams of Industrial league players. It will take place at ::y0 o'clock and . the proceeds to be taken up during the contest will be given to Al Blanchard who has been Ill for sev- eral weeks.
 The teams to play will be on the one side a combination of Stanley Works and Stanley Rule players. while the other will be formed from players in the American Hardware Corp. namely the P. ( F. Csrbin and Russell {, Erwin teams.
 The four umpires who worked in the Industrial league during the sea son will work in this game. They are Mike Lynch. Herbte Sautter. Billie Fitzpatrick and Larry Man. gan.
 Blanchard was stricken several weeks ago and his condition at the present time. though not grave, will prevent him from returning 10 work for at least month more. He has been one of the outstanding baseball players in the city for many years and 1t was. in a great part. hts work that contributed to whatever success tho R. & E. team had in the Indus trial league.
 He k considered to be one of the most popular of the Industrial lea Euc players and his misfortune has caused his friends and acquainta ances to rally in 2 small way to help him.

 There was no brothcrly love rhoWn on the course during the match. Each played spectacular golf throughou; and when the 18th hole was reached both were tied. Each bad a medal score of 75 or three over par.
 This has caused more than a ripple of excitement because another sizzling match is due to be played Sunday between the tinalists, Ted Hart and Clarence Manning. Eighteen holes will be played in the morning and IS more in the after noon.

TOO CHEAP

When Frank Becker sourdough newspaperman now in Seward left Seattle recently he figured devouty that he had crossed the last frontier of the paper napkin Vain hope than which other has sprung spontaneously from the human chest Must it be possible that Alaska where man has always wiped off pugnacious chin with hearty gesture begin her advent into the world of paper with such flsy useless irritating and altogether cry speas imitation of the real thing paper napkin. Why Oh Why must story of great emprse be herald ed by the fluterng futity of that fatuous fantasy
 The darn things won't stay on your lap but mmed- lately skid under the table If you tuck them into your vest the stick up and gets in the soup If you sWpe but of the carnverous orce, they form into ball and when again called to service only be found hiding behind the lettuce
 Besides they don't do the job properly. If you are still wearing the facial lingerie of olden me dab and the paper napkin becomes innocuous wet and soggy
 restored to the prmeva pulp from which it sprung If the vsage is clear and unencunbered vigorous mop of the paper napkin deposits the last stage of the apple pie behind the ear. Enough is enough. Give us back the old linen napkin forsooth the cotton dish tow lest we beriven in desperation grow hair the back of the hand.
