FANS ID WITNESS GREAT FOOTBALL
Feature Battles on Gridiron
 Program for This Week-End

New York, Oct. 15.-(P-With five intersectional games and five con- tests involving ten undefeated teams, eastern football fans have a great feast of first class football to look forward to this weekend.
 While Pittsburgh. Colgate and Boston College are setting what they can do in the way of upholding eastern prestige in the middle west Pennsylvania, Navy, West Virginia and among the smaller Duquesne and St. Thomas, will stand by on their home grounds to repel attacks by invaders from other sectors.
 Pennsylvania, its expected scoring strength missing in its first three games, must tackle the California Golden Bears at Philadelphia. Unless Head Coach Lou Young has been fooling the boys, Pennsylvania looks to be in for a beating.
 Navy, barely beaten by another fine Notre Dame eleven, should take Dukes measure without particular difficulty and West Virginia, despite an unsuccessful early season, will be favored over Washington and Lee when they clash at Charleston, w. Va. Duquesne. unbeaten and tied only by West Virginia, meets strong foe in Loyola of Chicago at Pitts burgh and St. Thomas. at Scranton. will lock horns with John Carroll of Cleveland.
 On alien fields. Pittsburgh, ap- parently heading for sectional and perhaps national team honors, has a big hurdle to leap in meeting the heavy Nebraska eleven at Lincoln Pitt held the Cornhuskers to one first down last year but could dc little gaining themselves and the game ended in scoreless tie. Col gate meets it's third intersections opponent, Indiana, at Bloomington Boston College plays Dayton in the , latter's home territory.
 Heading the list of domestic games is Army's fray with Harvard at Cambridge. The Cadets last year broke long spell the Crimson had cast on them in previous meeting. but they will not be more than bare favorites to repeat their victory O, last year. Dartmouth and Colum. bla, two more unbeaten teams clash at Baker field; Washington and Jefferson battles Carnegie Tecf at Pittsburgh; Holy Cross meet!

on his knees. The ball rolled to the fence for a home run and three runs scored when an out should have resulted.
 Unsung hero-Zach Taylor, Cubs veteran catcher who played the most consistent baseball for the losing team. Obtained on waivers by the Cubs in mid season, Taylor never once wavered in the series.
 Hardest luck player-Charley Grimm. captain of the losing team. who had half a dozen great efforts wiped out by succeeding events. He made impossible catches around first base. He hit homer with one man on in the fourth game which broke a scoreless tie. He drove in the Cubs first run in the final game. None of these things counted in the end
 Luckiest player-Ed Rommel, who pitched one inning of the fourth game and received credit for the victory as a result of the Ath- letics 1O-run rally.
 Best pitched game-Howard Ehmke's spectacular pitching in | the first game which beat the Cubs, 3 to 1.
 Most courageous offensive effort -Bing Miller's slashing drive to center in the final with two strikes on him which won the game and world championship for the Ath- , letics.
 Most courageous defensive effort Guy Bushs victory in the third game, pulling himself out of hole after hole by smart stout heart pitching. The Athletics got 12 men on base, but only one of them

Malone forced Mickey Cochrane, who bats third for Philadelphia, to roll out to Rogers Hornsby, and 1t seemed as though the worst had happened was that the Athletics had tied the score.
 But then Al Simmons slapped a two base hit up against the right field score board. Still Malone seem- ed to have the game in hand. There was further consultation of the Cubs board of strategy, and it was de- cided to pass Jimmy Foxx and work on "Bing" Miller.
 This may have been grand strate- gy, but it ended the world series. With the count two and two, Miller, once Mack cast-off, hit to right center, and Al Simmons came danc- ing and prancing home with the winning run.
 The fans went wild. President Hoover stood up and clapped his hands.
 The Mackmen rushed to carry the man who had delivered the winning punch off the field on their shoulders.
 By winning the fifth game In just this dramatic manner, the Athletics became champions of the world of baseball. Considering the series as a whole, they had earned the award. But the drama of the last two games saved the 1929 series from mediocri- ty.
 "Rube" Walberg, the southpaw pitcher, who entered and finished the fifth and final game after Howard Ehmke had been batted to all cor ners of Shibe park, must not be over looked when credit for the winning Of the championship Is allotted. Wal berg came in under trying circum- stances and allowed only two hits and no runs in five and one-third innings.
 Ehmke, who not only beat the Cubs to 1 in the opening game of the series but struck out 13, a new record for such engagements, was not effective Monday. It was obyi- ous that it was only a matter of time before the National league cham pions would level off and knock him into cooked hat. The end for Ehm- ke came in the fourth. AS matter Of fact, Howard was through when he retired the last man in the open- ing game at Chicago a week ago.
 Walberg stopped any Chicago as- plrations, and this, in the final analysis, made 1t possible for the Athletics to break through in the ninth and win the game and the championship.

POLICE 0N GUARD
 IN DRIVERS STRIKE
Three Hurt Yesterday as Sym-
 pathiZerS Stone Trucks

New York, Oct. 15 UP)-Police scattered through the five boroughs Of New York today in an attempt to prevent recurrence of violence in the strike of gasoline truck drivers.
 So serious did Police Com missioner Grover Whalen consider the situa- tion that he doubled the number of men, making a total of 1.6o0 patrol men assigned to strike duty. While there seemed to be little prospect for speedy settlement of the contro- versy, no alarming shortage of gaso- line was reported
 Differ on Gas Available
 oil company officials insisted they were delivering between so and 100 per cent of the normal volume, but union sympathizers contended busi- ness was down to a 50 per cent basis.
 Tenseness was added to the situa- ton by the announcement that fill ing station workers would assemble In two mass meetings tonight to vote on a proposal to join the truck dri- vers in the strike. Union leaders said such a walkout virtually would halt the sale and delivery of gasoline in New York.
 An attempt on the part of the fed eral department of labor to mediate yesterday met with rejection by the oil companies. Peter J. Prunty, sales manager of the Standard Oil com pany of New York, told Thomas J. Williams and William c. Liller of the labor department that his com pany would not recognize the union and that in view Of that policy there was no basis for mediation.
 The direct cause for the strike Is a demand for higher wages, but since the walkout the issue has swung over to a question of recognition of the union by the Standard Oil company and other distributing concerns.
 Three Hurt Yesterday Three persons were injured yester- day. two of them being youths not involved in the strike. A gasoline truck. escorted by three automobiles filled with guards. attracted a crowd of strike sympathizers in Brooklyn The crowd jeered the strikebreakers | who operator the truck. and some one hurled stone through the "lnd- shield of one of the escorting cars.
 The automobiles then drove into the crowd and during the melee one shot was fired. When police restored 1 order, William Tuffy, IS, was founu to have been stabbed in the back Police said Robert Talbot. Jr, b. was run down by one of the auto mobiles, suffering internal lnJurles which might prove fatal.
 Louis Kaufman. 52, proprietor ot a Brooklyn filling station, was the third person injured; he drove hls own truck to the Marvel Oil com' pany for 6 load of gasoline; on the way back, police said, Kaufman was attacked by five men who beat hin and dumped his gasoline. At St Catherine's hospital Kaufman was said to be in a serious condition wltE q fractured skull. His assallants es- caped.

The world series is over and the Athletics are the champions of the baseball world. Those who backed Connle Mack's tribe in the playoff are Jubilant while the packers of the Cubs are in the depths of despond.
 The victory of the Athletics again raises the question that is so often and completely mulled over. that is, whether the American league brand Of baseball is better and faster than that played in the National league.
 From the distance between us and the actual scene of the strife, we are inclined to side with the fellows who say that the American league is a faster and better base ball circuit than the National league. This difference is not so great that the American league can be chased as a major league and the National as minor circuit.
 Taking judgment from the results ot the world series, it appears that most of the heavy and leading hit- ters ln the National league are gen. orally impotent when facing Ameri- can league pitching. On the other hand, the American league hitting starts generally come through in the classic each fall.
 It Is very evident that Connie Mack had much better pitching stair than Mccarthy. He also had steadier team and a crew of fight CTS. Any team that can overcome an eight run lead to win such q game as the Athletics did Saturday and then turn about on Monday and stage a rally like in the ninth inning yesterday. will be hard to beat at any time and in any league and the team that does score the victory will do so only by the small est of margins.
 This dope may be all wrong and It can be taken for what it is worth, the opinion of one man giv.- en at the time of writing Others may have their opinions and may be able to advance arguments SUD- porting their claims that there IS absolutely no difference between the two leagues. Maybe they are right but it doesn't seem so to us.
 The ending of the world series really puts football in the drivers seat on the sports wagon. The end of this month will introduce the indoor season locally when roller hockey will get underway. Fights have already been driven indoors because of the chill weather.
 The Nutmeg football team will invade Hartford for the first time thls year to meet the Giants at the Hurley Stadium, formerly the velo drome. This will be one of the real battles for both teams for the en- tire season and although New Brit ain is considered by far the favor- lte in the contest, there may be an upset such as there was last year
 Manager Conley will leave no stone unturned this week to get his crew in shape for the coming game. Johnny Grip will probably be back in harness for the contest, giving the locals their entire regular back field ready for action.

WHALERS MAKE
BIG SEA HAUL,
$500 Whales Killed In Last
Six Years By Fac
tory Ships

SYDNEY, Australia, July 1S.-tH
Il is estimated that 5000 whales
have been killed in the last six years
in the Ross sea by three whale fac~
tory ships and their attendant CHASE
erS.
According to reports received from
New Zealand, the Norwegian factory
ship G. "A. Larsen made $4,000 bar
rels of whale oil, representing q
catch Of 1856 whales, and valued at
approximately S 100000 In the
United States. The Sir James Clark
Ross. when she left New Zealand
for Europe, had on board 40 1000 bar
rels of oil, representing a catch OF
543 whales. This made a total OF
1929 whales for the two ships In
four months.
The N. T. Nielsen Alfonso, which
returned to Hobart from the Ross
sea recently, was reported to have
treated 1872 whales, which yielded
63. 500 barrels of oil. Thus the three
whalers, representing only two con-
Germs, have accounted Tor 2,O6l
whales this season.
Adding this seasons reported
catches to the official figures for
previous years published by the New
Zealand marine department, the
three factory ships have accounted
for more than 5000 whales In six
years.
