Walking up to Mr.. Cochrane, Mr.
Grimes said: IF I had a pointer dog
that looked like you would take him
out and shoot him."
Being lover of animals, Mr.. Coch-
rane was shocked. He made no retort
in words, but he smote Mr.. Grimes for
home run after the full significance
of this crack got home. The suggestion
that pointer dog should be shot at
this time of the year, With the quail
shooting about to open, reused the ire
of Mr.. Cochrane to such pitch that
it did not cool down for the duration
of the series.
The Cardinals, backing Mr.. Grimes
on the policy that, right or wrong, he
was their pitcher, made deriSive re-
marks concerning Mr.. Cochrane'S ears
during the series But though the ears
as the Cardinals limited, were adequate
enough to hear even whisper from the
Cardinals bench, Mr.. Cochrane made
no verbal retort. He said what was in
his mind with base hits, which. after
all, is the best language for a player
in the world series, or even in an
everyday game, to use.
But before the final game Mr.. Grimes
was overcome with remorse for the
crack that he made. Approaching Mr.
Cochrane, he said: I'm sorry, Mickey,
for what 1 said about you and the
pointer dog. / take it back. If had a
pointer dog that looked like you, I'd
give him away. I'm fond of dogs
Mickey accepted the apology and
they shook hands. Magnanimous ath-
letes always are ready to forget what
is said in the heat Of the conflict.

British papers just after it was played
DR.. Alekhine's twenty-fourth move was
commented on as a mistake or over

fer to it as a sacrifice to open file
on the adverse king. Had the Ruman-
ian adopted a strong defensive policy
the world champion would have had
difficulty in winning.

lands Is concerned. You see, the up
keep of the high commissioner OF base
bali is paid out of the world series
money, and the last few world series
have been very brief indeed, shrinking
up the gate receipts and keeping them
down to a minimum.
If this series had been over in four
straight games, there might have been
some difficulty in supporting Judge Lam
dis in the manner to which he had be-
come accustomed since taking over the
dictatorship of the national paStime.
The commissioner has used every means
of economy. He has cut his visits to
the barber shop to one period during the
year and had been wearing the same
soft hat since he assumed the GEAR.
ship" But with two extra games played
this year the commissioner will loosen
I'D and spend a little something in the
barber trade and make an investment
in the millinery industry. This will
keep him from being known as the Cool
idge of the commissioners OF base ball.
HeydIer Deeply Hurt.
THIS being the fourth year in success
i sion that an American League team
has beaten a National League team
in the world series, the boys are start
ing to talk about it for the want OF a
more lively subject. Mr.. John Arnold
Heydler. president of the National
League, appears to be deeply hurt when
some of the boys intimate that the Ma
tional League now appears to be
Glass A or minor league. With Mr..
Heydler base bah is a serious matter,
particularly where it concerns the Ma
tional League, and the sensitive head OF
the National League is suffering great
mental anguish over the results OF the
last four series.
One project is on foot to refute this
insinuation. 1t is proposed to hold city
series in all of the cities where there
are both American League and National
League teams. AS for the cities that
have only one team, these are to be
paired American League teams against
National League teams.
While the world series is being
played there would be games between
the other teams, arranged on the same
basis and under the same control.
When all of these games were played
the results would be tabulated and
world championship league would be
determined.
The scheme sounds logical and plaus-
ible enough. The gate receipts would be
distributed in the same manner as the
gate receipts of the world series. In
this manner there would be some as
surance that Commissioner Lands and
his Office force would have enough to
tide them over the Winter. The only
thing that gives the magnates pause in
initiating this plan Is wondering wheth-
er or not the customers would stand

Lands Homestead Saved.
@HE victory of the Athletics in the
late lamented world series will
be regarded as one for intellect
ual base ball, even though in the
final game which won for the employees
of Mr.. Cornelius McGillicuddy the VIC
torious athletes seemed to be employing
brute strength. They pounded Mr.. Wild
william Hallahan and his successor
with considerable violence, the wild Mr.
Hallahan being tanned shortly after he
started.
This makes it look as though the i'm
portance Of intellect in this and other
series of the national pastime has been
somewhat exaggerated. Also, one must
remember that Mr. Gabby Street, who
has been in there all year MASTER
minding for the Cardinals, is not exactly
a dumbbell. If the series had gone the
other way he probably would have been
credited with being more intellectual in
the matter of base ball than Mr. Nc
Gillicuddy, If this could be possible.
The fact that the series lasted six
games seems to be all for the best as
far as Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain

Six Other Contests Slated
for Youthful EIevenS
During Week.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

Play in the public high school
championship foot ball series
starts next Friday afternoon,

trail Stadium, starting at 3:45 o'clock.
Once more it appears certain that
the battle for the flag will be among
Tech, Central and Eastern, with Bust
ness and Western fighting it out for
cellar honors Tech is our choice to
win. Central and Eastern doubtless
will offer Mckinley tough battling, but
it's our bet that the Maroon and Gray
will be hoisted when the series is over.
Tech and Central both have first-rate
backf1elds, but the line of each is un-
certain.
However, it appears that the Gray
forward wall is developing somewhat
better than Centrals. 1t may be that
a superior line will give Tech the title.
Again, Central. which has not shown
as we'll in pre- season encounters as was
expected, may strike better stride.
Eastern, though its material is green
Is coming along nicely and may offer
Tech and Central plenty of fight. Wes-
tern and Business, though each has
shown plenty of pluck, is without suffl-
Gent seasoned material to figure promi-
nently in the race.
Tech Team Consistent.
Tech will be striving for its fourth
clear-cut series win in five seasons.
The Gray, in addition to gaining top
honors last Autumn, finished ahead OF
the pack in 1928, and also in 1925.
In 1927 it tied for the championship
with Central and Eastern.
There is a real probability that the
annual Tech-Central battle, ever the
most glamorous of the set, will go far
toward settling the title.
Here is the complete series schedule,
all the games to be played in the Cen
trail Stadium, starting at 3:45 o'clock.

BOXING 1877 YEARS OLD

First Ring Rules Drawn Up by
Broughton in 1743.
In IS more years the boxing game
can celebrate the 2Ooth anniversary of
the first set of boxing rules. These were
drawn up in 1743 by Jack Broughton,
famous English pugilist of that day.
The rules have been amended and
added to many times, but in the whole
there is much resemblance between the
rules of that day and the rules of this.
Rule Z of Broughton's code read:
THAT no person is to hit his adver-
sary when he is down or seize him by
the ham, the breeches or any part below
the waist; man on his knees to be
reckoned down."

Listening Post
BY Walter TrumbuIl-

TINE last world series won by the
National League was in 1925,
when the st. Louis Cards beat
the New York Yankees, by virtue
Of the pitching Of Grover Cleveland
Alexander. Since and including 1920,
the American League has won six series
and the National League four series.
Pittsburgh won in 1925 and the
Giants won in 1921 and 1922. But in
the series of 1927, 1928 and 1929, the
American League took IL games out Of
the l3 played. At the present moment,
this looks like another American League
year.

that he does not believe that there is

that the results of the last few years
indicate. He thinks those results are
partially due to a difference in pitching

pitching.

League is curye-ball league. OF
course. they use curves and speed in
both organizations, but 1 think there
are more good fast-ball pitchers in the
American.
Now know from my own experience
that batter looking for a curve and
getting a fast ball is more crossed up
than a batter who is set for fast ball
and gets curve. The best fast ball
pitcher Of the lot was Walter johnson
