CUBS FACE TRYING TEST IN SERIES
Must Win Today'S Game or
 Baseball Classic Is History

Philadelphia, Oct IA UP)-The Chicago Cubs today faced one of the most trying tests in all world series annals.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy had to pick his pitcher from one of two men-Guy Bush, who has had only two days rest, or Pat Malone, who was knocked out of the box in the second game.
 world series is over. They were hanging on by the slender thread of a single game.
 Out of the debris of Saturdays catastrophe, the Cubs gathered their forces to wipe out the memory of that fateful seventh inning of the fourth game which saw their S-run lead obliterated by q 10-run rally the greatest in world series history.
 But for that astounding Philadel- phia comeback, the series would be tied at two games each and the teams would have to move to Chi cago tonight to finish the series re- gardless of the outcome of today's game.
 Instead, the Athletics need only one victory to win the world base ball championship, and the Cubs | need three straight.
 Back in 1925, Pittsburgh beat Washington after the Senators had won three of the first four games hut the Pirates were never against as great an obstacle as the Cubs 1 confronted today.
 Incidentally it was Kiki CuyleI, i Cubs right fielder, playing with 1 Pittsburgh al that time, who punch cd out the hit that won the seventh game and championship for the pi- rates.
 "They say we quit and haven't the ! heart 10 stage a comeback now. " Cuyler said. Sometimes it takes things just like this to bring out a ball clubs real color. Things have certainly been against us but there's still hope yet. Not member of the i team is ready to coucvdc thc series to the Athletics. We are fighting to tn" last ditch"
 I"" world sercs players have ever been criticized more than Hack ! Wilson, Cubs barrcl-bodied center holdcr, who lost George Haas ny 10 center field and permitted three runs 10 come home in the seventh inning Of the fourth game.
 Other members of the Cubs have not come through unscathed-thcy say Riggs Stephenson played Jimmy 1 Dykes wrong and allowed his pop fiy | 10 drop safe and the two winning 1 runs to score-they say Charley 1 Root let down because he had an eight-run lcad-thcy say Joe Me ! Narthy blundercd in his handling of . relief pitchers in the fatal inning. Flukc victory, the Cubs called the fourth game.
 We have forgotten it." Joe Me ny sand.
 As for the Athletics they had three games in their bag. q pair cf | pitchers, Grove and Earnshaw, ready ] and th" memory of their courageous 1 fourth game triumph to pit against i Chicago's apparently demoralzcd outfit.
 Betting men were willing to lay 10 5, with no takers, that the world series will be over tonight.

to introduce the sport into the me- tropolis and he feels certain that the game will meet with popular favor there. He represented the Broadway arena of Brooklyn, the Dreamland of Newark and the St. Nicholas of New York.
 Although the opening date for the league has been set for October 26. it is quite likely that no games will be played until after November 1. The entrance of the three teams into the league may complicate the playing scheduled somewhat and a revision of the schedule, already started, will be necessary.
 No action was taken with regard to players and no announcements were made by the managers as to the possible makeup of their teams. These matters will probably be taken care of next Sunday.

NOAH LUCAS STAR
 OF GOLF TOURNEY
Bankers Take Advantage Of Columbus Day to Play Course
RN IiPCar


 Columbus Day being bank holi- day. Noah Lucas of the New Britain Savings bank took advantage of the first opportunity he has had for many moons to play golf on a week day morning. It was not q wasted day for the popular banker. With Gail Porter as q partner the pair administered a trimming to Banker Fred Chamberlain and Clarence Barnes in the morning. In the aft crnoon Mr. Lucas shot S6-1S-GS to take first prize in class 'B' in the 18-hole medal play tournament at Shuttle Meadow.
 Lately this golfer has been going too good 10 rate an IS handicap and the tournament committee has cut a couple of strokes off his handicap. That reduction places the banker among the class "A" players
 But he is not alone in thus gain ing golting prestige. Ted Hart, who won the championship a couple of weeks ago, has been cut to four strokes; Clarence Barnes handicap has been lowered 10 eight and Frank Shield has demonstrated his ability to play with a 10 stroke ad- vantage. Saturday he came in with S2-13-G9 and he has been lower than that several times this season. His last round was good enough to win first prize in class A in the tournament.
 Second place in the same class went to Logan Page on a draw. Judge J. H. Kirkham and Howard S. Humphrey were tied with him with net TBS. In class "B", o. F. Parker and P. F. King tied for scc- and honors with net 72s and Parker was lucky on the draw.
 Carlisle II. Baldwin and Howard S. Humphrey returned from meet ing of the Connecticut Golf assoCia- tion held at the Shore Haven course in Norwalk. Malcolm Farmer re- tired as president of the state or ganization and Howard s. Humphrey was elected vice president, which means that eventually another New Britain representative will head Connecticut golfers in an official capacity.
 Finally Len Morse and Duncan Shaw got together to play off the aemi-hnals in the lower bracket of the second 16 championship tourna- ment. The long delay did not hurt | Morse any but it worked havoc with | Shaw's game. He could not putt when he met his rival from Corbin | Cabinet Lock and found himself four down at the end of the first nine,
 Fighting against these odds Dune" got three holes back on the upper nine and then Len bore dowI again to finish the match three III and one to play, Some time before the water hole freezes over, Morse and "Kcck" Parker will play off tho finals.
 Val Flood has his course in won. derful condition for fall play. The 1 greens are true and keen and, to ado spice to putting. the holes are cut 1T i ticklish positions. Mir. Humphrey reported that Shuttle Meadow is IT better shape at present than seNera courses he has playing on during the past two weeks. The fourth fair way is being widencd by t1ll-in O. the swamp, an improvement noted with satisfaction by the golfers wht have lost balls in the same frot hole, when they stopped drives iron the short tee.

 Spectators Stunned
 The calm Of Sunday was a boon to 30,000 persons who participated as spectators in Saturdays wild scramble They saw 1t but still could not believe it on weekend rchcc- ton. The Athletics supporters watched their favorites enter the "luclly seventh" eight runs behind, with three pitchers listed as cas- ualties The Cubs at that time had needed only Charlie Root to bear the pitching burden for their side. He had seemed more than adequate, yielding but three widely scattered hits in six innings.
 Before the hectic session ended, one Chicago pitcher had grown to four and the Cubs were overtaken and passed Records were clutter ing up the grounds and all was chaos, particularly in the vicinity of the Cubs bench, After that a pitch CTS battle today would not be un- welcome.

Photos Reveal Cats
of Horses and Dogs

For the purpose Of investigation
and observation by scientists and
horse breeders, there is being pre-
pared for exhibition at the American
Museum of Natural History in New
York the skeletons Of racing horse
and running dog. These are to be
mounted side by side as in action,
Offering opportunity for comparison
Of the respective gaits of the two ami
mails. Before starting the work on
the horse Doctor Chubb devoted a
great deal of time to studying the
anatomy of the horse, particularly
while the horse was in action on the
track, but this was not regarded as
thorough enough and certain questions
arose in the DOCTORS mind which he
concluded could only be settled by
series Of pictures taken from a point
over a horses back while the animal
was in motion. 1t was impossible to
do this at the race tracks so various
experiments were tried at the mu-
scum. BY means of ropes stretched
from the museum roof to the base of
a tree some 70 yards away, block
and fall, Doctor Chubb hoisted him
self up so feet into painters chair,
from which point, with his camera
wedged between his feet, he took sew
eral photographs Of race horse

Wind and Fish

1t Is reported that a singular cor.
respondence exists between the pre-
vailing direction of the wind on, the
coast of New South Wales and the
average catch of fish.
1t appears that the winds which in.
tuence the ocean currents influence.
in turn, the course of the fish. These
influences have periods of three or
eour years. Thus, in 1919. there was
general scarcity of fish. but after
ward they became more and more
abundant up to the year 1929. In
1924. there was another scarcity OF
fish, but the next year they returned
In increasing numbers.
The cause of these variations was
regarded as mystery until the coin
