CUBS PUNCH IS IN THE OUTFIELD
Trio Of Eaters Roam the Outer
 Gardens for Chicago Team

New York Oct 1 LP)-1t doesn't take more than quick glance at the figures to realize that the "big punch" of the Cub attack is posses sed by the outfield trio of Riggs Stephenson, kiki Cuyler and Hack Wilson.
 No one member of the Chicago cast has a thing on the very useful Mir. Aloysius Harry Simmons of the Athletics, who happens to be just about the best all-around outfielder in baseball, but collectively the Cub have a distinct edge on their rivals on attack. On defense there is lit- tie, if anything to choose, with Sim mons and Cuyler ranking as the best of the ballhawks.
 Not since the palmy days of Cobb, Crawford and Neach. the Great Detroit trio, has thcre been any harder outfeld group than this Cuyler. Wilson, Stephenson com bnation
 Their batting figure, collectively, on the basis of the latest unofficial averages is .354, a margin of IS points over the aggregate mark of .336 for Simmons. Mule Haas and Bng Miller of the As. The big three of the Cubs has accounted for CTS of the 952 runs scored by the team, either by crossing the plate personally or driving mates over. Their rivals have figured in 621 of the SS2 runs tallied by the As. In dividually Wilson has the best run producing record. In fact the big Chicago dash to the top dated from the time the rotund Hack was shift ed to the cleanup role where his 1 faculty for hitting in pinch could best be capitalized.
 Among a number of vital factors in the Cub rise, few are more con- spicuous than the work of the fleet Cuyler, the leagues leading base stealer who has enjoyed his great est all round year since he helped the Pirates win the pennant in 1925. Stephenson is less spectacular but the ex-Alabama collegian also has | Nui pdoSNu dily lillI6 Pi SNlOuS III III major league career, with a batting mark that Is the highest he ever has had in fast company and second only to Hornsby's in the Cub lineup. When injuries kept either Cuyler or Stephenson out of the game, the Cubs had an able substitute at hand in the speedy Cliff Heathcote. The development of Haas and the steady work of the veteran Miller contributed much to the triumph of
 the As. The formers batting fell off toward the close of the season,
 but when the Mackmen were build
 ing up their decisive lead the young
 center fielder hit at a sensational
 clip. Haas hasn't the punch of his
 rival Wilson. but he is faster and
 rangier. Miller, 35 years old and
 five years older than Stephenson
 nevertheless has retained unusual
 speed as well as a keen batting eye

 TO PLAY HERE SATURDAY
Park City Team Started Off Season Same as Locals Last Saturday With to Victory-Strong Squad of Line Plungers Expected to Start Game-Contest to Be Staged at Willow Brook Park-First Appear ance of Visitors Here in Many Seasons
Bridgeport Central High schools

Bridgeport Central High schools football team, the aggregation which will play the New Britain High school eleven in this city Sat friday afternoon, had the same suc- cess as the Red and Gold team last week in that it won it's first gam by to 0 score. Its opponent was the Milford High school team.
 Three veterans are left from last years team, Captain Joncas, right tackle; Saur, left tackle and Fako- witz, fullback. Last years team took part in nine contests and was successful in winning six. The three losses were at the hands of the Stamford High school team, which also gave the New Britain outfit it's only defeat last year; the Warren Harding High school of Bridgeport and the Naugatuck High school team.
 Selection of the Bridgeport Gen. tral High school team as one of the opponents on this years schedule is a move which has not been ma1e in many years. Year in and year out the alumni of both schools ad- vocated a game between the teams but no final decision could be reach ed. Bridgeport Central is very for tunate, from an athletic standpoint. in that the school has a four year course. Coach Riley who has been in charge of athletics at the school for many years has the advantage of an extra year. He can develop boys in the first year and sometimes a freshman makes the varsity team and is a star by the time he is a junior and senior. In this city there is only a three years' course and the boys are about ready when they are graduated.
 According to Coach Cassidy the only New Britain High players who suffered any ill effects after the Blues game were Al Middleton who has intestinal grip and Stanley Nev- erdoski who has q slight knee in jury. It is expected, however. that both players will be ready for scrv- ice on Saturday.
 The coach is planning on keeping the players in a studying mood so that the team will not lose because of ineligibility. The rule did not hold for the Blues game last week because the contest was considered a practice game. It was said that one of the regulars was low in stud ies at the time.

 The qualifying mark was three strokes under the previous record which was established in 1927 and repeated at Hot Springs, Va. last year.

Miss Van Vie shot more consistently, bagging IS going out and 41 coming back. Three putt greens blasted her hopes of clear possession of the medal
 One shot behind the leaders was Kathleen Wright of Los Angeles with Edith Quier of Reading, Pa. and Mrs. Alexa Stirling Fraser, nov of Ottawa, Canada, completing the par breaking group with SIS which landed them in third position. Glen ma Collett of Los Angeles, he de- lending champion and favorite 10 win again. had to be content with a par S2 along with six other stars.
 Miss Collett was faced by a com paratively easy opponent in today's initial match play round-Mrs. W. A. Johnson of Philadelphia, who qualified with an S7.
 The feature match today brought together Miss Hicks and Maurecn Orcutt Of White Beeches N. J.. present metropolitan champion, who qualified with an S4. Miss Orcutt has been off her usual game for several weeks and was expected 10 fall before the steady firing 19 year old Long Island girl. however Miss Van Vie, who was crushed by the champion in the 1928 finals. had Peggy Wattlc9, Buffalo. as her first round rival

Three Football Teams to Meet Rivals on GridirOn

New York. Oct. 1.-lPt-The east will send three football representa- lives into foreign territory next sat urday and expects at least two or them to come home with the well known bacon.
 Pittsburgh's great machine, one Of the strongest in the territory. travels south to Durham. N. C., for a battle with Duke; Davis and Elkins, con- uueror of West Virginia for the past two years, is to board the rattlers for Missouri with a game against St. Louis. Andy Kerr's Colgate team is booked for an argument with Wis consin at Madison,
 Of these three. Pittsburgh and Davis and F,lkins are favored to win but the Colgate Wisconsin fray is something of a toss-up with the ad vantage, if any, lying with the 1 Badgers.
 These intersectional battles, along with the opening appeara ances of l Yale.

 A dull Monday of practice ses- sions was marked by Head Coach Fuss McLaughry's drastic shakeup in his Brown varsity lineup following Saturdays defeat by Springfield. When McLaughry had finished with his alterations seven men had been dropped off the regular first string eleven and there was no assurance that the other four were permanent ly established in their present posi- tions, With the Springfield defeat in mind McLaughry probably is await ing the game with Rhode Island i with some trepidation.

 Except for q couple of dog fights for positions down the line in the two major league standings, very little Of interest is left for the clos Ing week of the baseball campaign.
 In the National league there IS the possibility that New York's Giants can take second place away from Pittsburgh with q strong finish and real battle is going on for the top of the second division between Philadelphia and Brooklyn. The only other question left for the older circuit is whether the champion Cubs can run their total Of victories up to 100 games before the end.
 The American league has only enc real chance among the possibilities. Washington in fifth place and be troit in sixth may reverse their posi- tions before Sunday night. A Mathematical possibility remains that St. Louis may gain tie for third with Cleveland, but it is q slim one
 The Giant-P Pirate squabble also is nearer the realm of pure mathema- ties than Of probability so far as a change in the standing is concern ed. Pittsburgh has a three game edge with as many 10 go. The Giants have five to play. To capture second. New York would have 10 de- feat the Phillies three times and Brooklyn and Boston each once while the Pirates dropped a pair 10 St, Louis and one to the Cubs. The Giants could lose one game and fin ish in q tie.
 Brooklyn and Philadelphia have a real struggle on their hands, They are tied for fifth place with three games apiece left. On the books 1t looks as if the Robins had the better chance. for two of their contests are against the tail end Braves and one with the Giants while the Quakcrs take on New York three times.
 As for Joe McCarthys Chicago boys, they have G5 victories on the books so far and six more possibly in sight. The Cub schedule calls for a five game series at Cincinnati be- fore they close at home against Pittsburgh.
 Cleveland fans expect to have lit tie trouble in clinching third place in the American league, The Indians wind up the year away from home with four games against their rivals, the Browns. St. Louis has to capture every one to gain tie.
 Washington has rather tough row to hoe in keeping fifth place out of the lands of Detroit's Tigers. The Senators have only two game margin and have pairs Of games to play against the Athletics and Red Sox. Dctroit's schedule calls for four game series with the loWly White HoX, already beaten in II of their IS encounters this year.
 The intermittent schedule Of the closing week sends the teams off to slow start in their closing campaigns today. After a complete day of scheduled rest yesterday, only two teams in each league are due for action this afternoon. Washington meets the Athletics at Philadelphia and the Giants wind up their home campaign against Brooklyn.
