PITCHERS ARE IN DOUBT

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 28.-If
the ball players don't get pneumonia
the Junior World Series" will be
brought to conclusion.
The weather man rushed the
season in Rochester Thursday by
turning on December weather in
September and caused the second
tilt of the Glass A A classic to be
postponed until today, which orig
inally was an open date in the series
between the pennant winners of the
American Association and the In
ternational League.
Therefore, the second conflict of
the big minor event was carded for
this afternoon and the hopped-up
tanning bees that took place Thurs
day during the idle hours put in by
players and fans indicated there
would be a gratifying attendance
when the rival clubs took the field, if
weather permitted.
The poStponement Thursday
moved both managers to use caution
about their pitching selections for
today. They said they wanted to
think" about it, and neither would
announce an exatc choice.
Bethel Has Three Picks
Manager Bethel of the Indians
said he would use one Of three men,
Yde, Burwell or Boone. Manager
Billy Southworth of the Red Wings
said his selection would be made
from Bell, Decatur and Irwin.
1t was apparent both clubs were
"jockeying" on pitchers for the
second game. the reason being that
Rochester knows Emil Yde owns a
large-sized batting average and In
dianapolis knows the Red Wings are
wise.
EYde, when pitching, is a danger
- slugger when the opposition
u uses a right-handed hurler, and the
Red Wings desire to use Lawrence
Irwin, a Southpaw, when Yde pitches
for the Hoosiers.
Yde, who throws left-handed,
bats the same way, and he was a
l.. bear during the American ASSocia-
ton pennant fight when he was at
the plate facing right-handed
throwerS.
Ferd Schupp, veteran southpaw
Of the Tribe staff, was called away
Thursday night by the death of his
mother in-law, and he won't be
available until the little series"
shifts to indianapolis.
EvenS Up Southpaws
His absence evens up the Indian
and Red Wing mound stats on
southpaw beavers, each having only
one, Yde with Indianapolis and
Irwin with Rochester.
The Indians, who were 10 to
favorites on the starting struggle
Wednesday, still were the favorite
for today's tilt. But the odds were
shaved down to 10 to 9, but with
Indianapolis money in the ma
jor1ty.
The Indians have strong outside
support, despite the fact they are
in enemy territory, fact which
speaks well for the fame and pun-
licity the team gained the city OF
Indianapolis during its pennant
battle in the American Association
The Rochester Government wealth
er guesser predicted fair and cool
today. He didn't say how "cool."
The Indians must play four games
in Rochester, regardless of post
ponements. before the series scene
shifts to Indianapolis. If the Hoo
siers' stay is extended beyond Sun
day, they are going to be room
.naDf9S" individually. Their hotel res
SS#ations expire Sunday noon, and
after that the New York State
Democratic convention takes charge
of Rochester.
May Be Homeless
