career was called upon to make
a drastic decision that many
thought might abruptly end his
career. . His star pitcher was
Grover Cleveland Alexander.
1t seems that Mccarthy soon dis
covered Alexander didn't take
his orders seriously and was also
lax as to training. He Sus-
pended Alex. Tt took nerve for
a bush Lacquer to give the gate to
the star of his team. AleXan-
der later was sent to st. Louis
and Mccarthy stayed. That
act established Mccarthy with
his players, for they realized he
was going to run the team and
brook no opposition. Is a fight
err of the old school, never knows
when he is licked and has in
spired his club with the same
spirit.

WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO,
Oct. "A pale October sun was
sending It's first faint rays through
the lattice of temporary bleacher
seats today when the vanguard of
the 1929 world series throng stepped
gingerly through the gates of Wrig-
ley field to see the opening game
between the Chicago Cubs and the
Philadelphia Athletics.
Bleary-eyed and shiVering were
these early arrivals on the scene
of the big annual baseball conflict.
Some of them had stood or sat or
lain in line for as long as twenty
four hours for the honor of being
among the first to settle down for
the opening of Chicago's first world
series in more than ten years.
Race for Bleachers
But the long night during which
a chill wind from Lake Michigan
had penetrated their blanket and
o~vercoat coverings seemed to have
taken none Of the enthusiasm out
of the "shirt-sleeve" fans.
Pell-mell at dawn these fans went
scampering through the openings in
the barbed wire fence that had kept
them out for so many hours and
clattered over the pine bleachers IN
a race for choice positions. Sand
wich men served them breakfasts Of
hot-dogs and coffee-all save James
Masek, who had a loaf of rye bread
under his arm. MaXek said he
would eat nothing else until the
Cubs had been acclaimed world
champions.
First in line at the ticket window
as the 10000 bleacher seats were put
up for sale was R. R. Taunton Of
Chicago. He had been waiting since
noon Monday.
Man, Wife Hold Place
Poncho Peters an his wife, Odessa,
had held n place in the lines all
night, one sleeping a few hours while
the other stood guard. The Peters
came out from Rensselaer,, N. Y,
and announced through the
"Missus' that they were for the
Athletics.
Scores of other people insisted
that their names be put down as
among the first to enter, but at that
hour in the morning the sharpeSt-
eyed reporter is likely to leave some
body out.
While this strange group was
passing through the gates, many OF
the luckier, but less publicized 49,
600 who had obtained reservations
in the boxes and grand stands we're
just turning in at their homes o.
hotels.
Into the small hours of the norm
ing the streets of the Loop district,
cafes, cabarets and hotel lobbies
were alive with talk of the great day.
milk Toast Affair"
The only serious shadow in the
world series picture for many
of the fans was an ominouS threat
from the office of E. G.. Yellowley,
prohibition administrator, to make
the series a milk toast affair" yell
said this meant that the
series was to be bone dry.
Word of the dry threat reached
several already insecure speakeaSies
in the neighborhood of Wrigley field
and their proprietors closed up in
the face of the greatest demand for
that Chicago had experienced
since the Tunney-Dempsey fight.

Coast Loop
in Play-Off
Missions and Hollywood
Mines Launch Series.

BIZ Times Special
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-First
of a seven-game series between the
San Francisco Mission Reds and
Hollywood Stars, first and second
half winners of the split season, for
the Pacific Coast League pennant,
was to be played here today.
The two mines also will play here
Wednesday and Thursday, moving
to Los Angeles for three more games.
If the seventh game is necessary,
a diamond will be decided on later.
The finish Of the league this sea-
son was one of the closest in the
history of the Coast loop. Only a
small margin separated the Mis-
sion Reds, winners of the first half,
from the stars, second half winners.

GOVERNOR VETOES
SUNDAY DANCE BILL

Governor Erickson has vetoed the
Sunday dance bill, designed to permit
Sunday dancing in cities with $4,000
or more population. A similar dance
bill passed by the goth assembly also
was disapproved by Governor Erick-
son.
Explaining his action on the dance
bill, the governor said opposition to
it is most profound from all parts of
the state" He added, however, that
while the demand for the repeal OF
the present law are insistent and en-
titled to respectful consideration,
cannot make myself believe that the
general welfare of the state and OF
its people would be promoted by the
repeal of this statute" He said that
the purpose of the present law is to
prevent Sunday dances from being
commercialized and made "resorts fol
bootlegging, crimes and immortality"
