Injuries to members of the regu- team have become a severe handicap, to the progress of the eleven in the past few days and today there are> four who have been in the regular lineup on the hospital list Quarter back Billy Ross is suffering from a. charley horse and Substitute Guar terback Frank (Pewee) Zaleski has a bad ankle. John Dumin, regular center in the first two games, is bat tered from scrimmage activities and at the practice session yesterday aft ernoon. Captain Joe Potts suffered q sprained thumb. Hope is held that the team will be in shape for the Norwich Free Academy game in that place Saturday.
 The practice session yesterday afternoon was a mild affair. AS yet nothing has been done to improve the forward pass defense which showed such a glaring weakness in the Pittsfield High school contest last Saturday. It is probable that Coach Cassidy will instruct his sec ond team to work passes against the first eleven so that the backfield men can get used to blocking this attack.
 Some fans were critical of the work of the ends during the forward pass drive of Pittsfield. The ends do not rush in to hurry the passes but instead move back and work with the secondary defense in an at tempt to keep the opponents eligible men in check. This system is one which Coach Cassidy is sponsoring. He reasons that an end blocks a punt on few occasions. He said the tackles can hurry the forward pass CT. Some football followers think the New Britain ends would be out , smarted by clever quarterback who would fake a forward pass and then run the ends.

New York, Oct. 15 (UP)-1n de- nying reports that John McGraw had been selected to succeed Miller Higgins as manager of the New York Yankees, Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner or >he Yankees, revealed that the new manager had been selected and will be named within a few days.
 If McGraw is out of a job I will gladly give him the management of the Yankees" said Col. Ruppert. He is a very fine man. Blu. the re- port of his coming to the Yankees is news to me. As a matter of fact he isn't the man that has been de- cided upon."

FANS IN CHICAGO
 NEARLY STUNNED
Surprise and Disappointment Shown by Cub Followers

Chicago. Oct. IS (UP)-An atti- tude of surprise. mingled with dis appointment, characterized Chicago baseball fans today as they pondered the downfall of their Cubs.
 There was a distinct difference of opinion as to whom should be blamed for the four games to one world series defeat that the Phlla- deIphia Athletics handed the Chi cago team.
 Not since Gene Tunney got the so-called IA count when he lay sprawled on the floor as the result of a blow from Jack Dempsey. has any topic been on so many tongues as has the Cubs defeat. Everywhere one went today there was the same query How did they do it?'
 It seemed unbelievable to these Chica 0 fans that any baseball team had the ability to trounce their favorites as the Athletics did. They were willing to admit that the Phil adelphia team rated to be ranked as favorite but they were not will ing to admit that the series should have ended four games to one.
 They pointed out that the As got "all the breaks" Backing that opin- ion was the superb pitching exhibi- tion which Pat Malone put up yes terday only to lose in the ninth in- ming after he had pitched two hit ball for eight innings. Also there was the sun which caused Hack Wilson to allow fly balls to droI safely. and there were numerous others things, such as the failure oi Rogers Hornsby to show up to his customary style, which came in for discussion.
 There was one opinion which seemed almost unanimous and that was that Manager Joe Mccarthy made a mistake when he jerked Charley Root in the first game after the pitcher had hurled three-hit bal for seven innings. The fans seemed to think that the first game would have gone into extra innings with { II tie score in the ninth if Root ha( been left in.
 But the central figure Tn all dis cussion was the comeback ability O. Connie Mack's team. Fans here were amazed that any team could socl the offerings of Pat Malone fol three runs in the ninth when Pa was right and he obviously wa. right yesterday. Few Nationa league teams have put on any sucf comeback against him when he hat the upper hand.
 Too, there was some discussion as to why the Cubs elected to pas Jimmy Foxx in the ninth to get a Bing Miller. True, Foxx is a grca hitter but he hadn't touched Pat fo a safety during the day and Mile is a glutton for fast ball pitching He already had garnered one of tn As two hits and if there ever wa a tough man to face in a pinch it i Miller.

MACK DISPLAYED
 GOOD STRATEGY
Held Grove and Walberg as a
 First Line Reserve Battalion

Philadelphia, Oct. 15 P}-The pitching strategy of Connie Mack in the 1929 series was very differ ent from the type of cunning he displayed in the days when he had Bender and Coombs and Plank 10 send after ball games. Seldom did anybody but a member of this inn mortal trio take the mound for the tall tactician in world title combat in the days of old, but TO fewer than six men toed the rubber in the 1929 classic. Of these only Howard Ehmke and George Earn shaw pitched complete games.
 Professor Mack's decision to es- tablish his two star left handlers, the Messrs. Walberg and Grove, as q first line reserve prevented these two masters from breaking into the winning column until Walberg pull ed out the decision in the fifth game yesterday. but the quality of their work was made apparent in the official earned run averages, re- leased today.
 Between them, Grove and Wal berg allowed only six hits and one run, that one unearned. Each pitch ed six and one-third innings all in relief. Grove famed ten and Wal berg eight; only Nose gave a pass, and only one.
 Guy Bush, who won the only game credited to the Cubs, turned up with an earned run average of .s2. the best showing of any of the Chicago pitchers.
 Despite Ehmke's thirteen strike outs in the opening game, George Earnshaw earned flaming honors for the series with seventeen.

WILSON LEADING HITTER
 IN WORLD SERIES GAMES
Chicago Center Fielder Who Lost Three Flies i'll the Sun Also
 Called the Goat,

Philadelphia, Oct. 15 Pl-Hack Wilson. considered by many the goat of the world series, was the leading slugger in the matches just conclud- cd between the Athletics and Chi cago Cubs
 Wilson, the center fielder, who lost three flies in the burning rays of the sun on Saturday which ruined the morale of the National League champions, batted All, far sur passing every other player. He made eight hits in seventeen trips to the plate, seven singles and a triple.
 For the Athletics, Third Baseman Jimmy Dykes, the handy man of Connie Mack's ensemble was the star. Jimmy batted .421 and many here consider him the luminary of the series, although the fans can never forget the thrill that Howard Ehmke's pitching gave them in that l first game.
 Nearly all the sluggers were up to par, with the exception of Horns l by, who batted only .238. Hagen Cuyler hit 300 and Stephenson bat l ted .316.
 Catcher Mickey Cochrane of the AS swatted at a 400 clip and Al Simmons hit an even 300. The As

the third base coaching line. The venerable, gray haired William Gleason, the kid himself, out ran young men. All wished 10 embrace Miller,
 Harry A, Mackey, mayor of Philadelphia had deserted the presidential box to hug Haas after 1 his home run. He had no chance [ 10 give an encore to Miller. This reception committee was composed l exclusively of players. Connie Mack, safely established even more securely in bascball's hall of fame, which seems to be painting the lily, retained enough of his composure 1 to shake hands with Miller and Haas one hand to each, and then to grab the smiling Rube Walberg, the rescue pitcher, with both. The big lefthanded Walberg, with a sweeping curve that has had few equals in a worlds series game, went 10 the rescue of Howard Ehmke in the fourth inning, with two runs in, and stopped the SCOT ing. The southpaw permitted the Cubs 10 attack his delivery for only two hits and no runs.
 Ehmke Failed to Last
 Ehmke, who won the first game of the series in impressive style, did not have his stuff" six days later He fell after two were out in the fourth. Cuylcr's double started it. He worked too carefully on Ste phenson and passed him. Grimm drove Cuyler home with a single and Taylor's hit to center sent Stephen- son in. Walbcrg rushed in to force Malone to miss big curve for a third strike.
 Connie Mack explained that he had pitched Ehmke because How ard was anxious to pitch and when he is anxious to pitch, I am anxious to have him pitch. It was one of the few Mackian lunches to go wrong in the series, but the result was satisfactory 10 the Athletics family
 Manager Mack also explained that Bob Grove, whose great relief pitching stamped him as one of the | heroes of the classic, was "aiing" and in addition suffered throughout from a sore finger, making it nec- 1 essary to utilize his superb, left handed skill solely in emergencies.
 Mack Among Leaders The latest victory for the house Of McGillicuddy gave the 67 year old dean of baseball managers . everywhere his four worlds cham pionships in six chances.
 The series, one of the most sen- sational of all time broke a score of records. A dozen in one game.
 The As off in front at Chicago by winning the first two games, lost the first one played in Philadelphia and then came from behind as no team ever has done in a worlds series, to win the next two.
 Mack did not fail to be generous in his summing up. "We outplayed the Cubs" he said, but we also outluclled them" He paid tribute to the defeated National leaguers, as "a great club"
 The Cubs, from Manager McCar- thy to the bat boy. were philo- sophical.
 It's baseball" they said, after they had seen their castle of hopes crumble to pieces about them.
