ELECTION PREPARATION
Evening Journal)


Although this years election is a
long way off, the date being Novem-
ber 4, there is much of a prelimi-
nary nature to be done. The all-im-
portant thing, for the individual vo-
ter, is to be sure of place on the
registration list.
Persons who voted at the last
election and have not changed their
residences need not worry, for the
list is permanent. However, any who
did not vote, newcomers and those
who have moved to new addresses
will have to give attention to the
matter if they place any value on
the franchise. Just little effort, on
the. part of each, is all that is nee
essary, no expense being involved.
The only insurance against being
disfranchised is to take the neces-
sary steps to become qualified to
vote. Any who fail to do this duty
may find themselves in an embar-
RAISING position when election day
rolls around. The advisable plan is
to be sure of a place on the regis
tration list before the primaries are
held, otherwise there will be no op-
portunity to help select the nomi-
ness of the political parties.
This year, fortunately, there is no
President to be elected. The resi-
dents Of Delaware can, therefore,
conduct the election with closer re-
gard for matters of purely local
concern. A senator and representa-
tive in Congress will be chosen, but
that fact need have no bearing on
the selection of State and county
officers.
It is obvious, therefore, that every
person who has reached the age Of
21 ought to be sure that he or she
is on the registration list, and, fur
thermore, each should vote at the
election, so that the outcome will
the will of the majority.
Let us Delawareans see if we can
DO this this year. Such a plan should
result in the selection of a good set
of officials, which might not result {
4 many voters take no interest and
stay away from the polls.
1t may be well to remember the
registration days. The first will be I
July 10; the next will be August 80,
md the last October 18.

LAUGHS AT GRIMES
Mickey Cochrane Gets Razz From Cardinals Pitcher But Answers Him With Home Run.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2 (UP)-Mick- ey Cochrane, Athletics catcher to- day was one laugh up on Burleigh Grimes, who pitched the opening game of the World series for the Cardinals.
 In the first game, Cochrane, after walking the first time up and flying out the second, struck out on his third appearance at the plate in the sixth inning. This amused Burleigh and he put his hands to his ears and waved at Mickey as the catcher walked to the dugout
 Cochrane had the last laugh, how ever, for on his last trip up, he caught one of Crimes shoots on the nose and dropped it over the right field fence for a home run.
 Grimes stood still as the ball sailed over the wall. indulging in no ear waving.

VETERANS AMAZED
 AT SMART PLAYS
Former Athletics Say That Team
 Is Like Old Time Crew

Philadelphia, Oct. 2 LP-The Ath- letics' victory in the first game of the World series was like page torn from the records of baseball classics of nearly two decades lago to grzzled old veterans of the house Of Mack, back to view the battle from the sidelines like so many old grads at college homecoming foot ball game.
 These old timers, such as liar ry Davis, Home Run" Baker, Chief Bender, even a 'youngster" aming veterans like Joe Bush, came back prepared to look somewhat askance at these boys of the modern era just a lot of young fellows swinging from their toes," tossing all scien- tific baseball to the winds for the sake of slugging.
 They saw some high, wide sand fancy slugging, but they also saw smart fielding, heady pitching and their eyes opened in amazement when the almost forgotten squeeze" play executed by Joe Boley, shoststop of the As, for the first time in a World series game in at least 17 years.
 Harry Davis, captain of the old As of 1910, rubbed his eyes, aston ished, as he contemplated dupli- cate of the play that Jack Barry, of the noted s100,000 infield of 1910-14, made famous.
 Tt looked like old times" remark see that again. This team plays like the old As, but it has a bigger wal lop."
 Tt was as smart as anythink I have seen in years in the World series," added Joe Bush. Tt was a natural, with Boley at bat and a fast man on third. But it worked so fast that I barely caught Haas start for the plate out of the corner of my eye. Grimes may have anticipated it, but smart as he is, I doubt it. There wasn't anything he could do anyway. Boley laid the bunt down to perfec- ton.
 ITO me, however, Boleys stop of Douthit's smash in the seventh when he fell down and still was able to make the throw for the force-out at second, was the greatest play in the game and the one that decided it.
 "Boley is a great shortstop but he never received the credit due him because he is not so colorful as some other performers. He is steady in the field and a good man at batt is a lot like Jack Barry"
 Bush conceded that Grove was not at his best and nowhere as fast as usual" But he added:
 Bob pitched a good game. good enough to win with the great sup in his next start to now down the Cardinals. Don't forget it was chilly day and that perhaps Grove felt some of the strain of starting the first World series game with everyone expecting him to stand his opponents on their heads. The boys think he has an off day unless he fans about 10 men,"
 The "big four" reasons for consid- ering the As favorites at the start Grove, Cochrane, Simmons and Old Strategy. represented by Mack stood up pretty well, all told, in the first test. They were ready for business again today at the old stand.

MCCARTHY WILL
 MANAGE YANKEES
Deposd Pilot Of Chicago Cubs
 Reported to Be Signed

Philadelphia, Oct 2 P}-Whether or not Joe Mccarthy, deposed pilot of the Chicago Cubs, actually has come to terms with the New York Yankees for two-year term as manager in succession to Bob shawkey, indications today pointed to the completion of negotiations to such an end in short order.
 After day of conflicting reports, it was understood Mccarthy had re- jected a flattering offer to take over the Boston Red Sox on a long-term contract in preference to accepting tentative proposal for the man. agement of the Yankees, with con- sequent greater opportunity to dis tinguish himself in a new field. Mccarthy not only admitted he was in a receptive mood to a New York offer, and that he already had had some preliminary conversation, but revealed that he planned to go to New York in a few days to talk definite terms with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees. Tt is not always a question of money" Mccarthy said. T want to go where there is the greatest op- portunity. You know, when they break your heart, you want some thing to come back with.'
 Reports have been published that Mccarthy will sign on a basis Of two years at the Yankee helm at s25,000 a year. but he denied that any such detailed terms had been discussed.
 There Is plenty of rpecedent for the shift which is expected to see the man who led National league championship club in 1929 bossing an American league contender in 1881.
 The Yankees themselves obtained their most successful pilot, the late Miller Higgins, after he had at tracted attention as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and the dis coverer of Rogers Hornsby, now ap- pointed to succeed Mccarthy as leader of the Cubs.
 In later years, the White Sox signed Donie Bush after he had been let go by the Pittsburgh Pirates, al- though Donie originally was an American league shortstop, with De- troit. The St. Louis Browns also were managed this year by an ex- National leaguer, Bill Killefer.
 The Yankees, in the process of being rebuilt, finished third this year under Shawkey, something like IT games behind the champion Ath- letics. This was considered a good showing under the circumstances. with prospects of improvement in 1881.
 For some time the idea has pre- vailed that Babe Ruth eventually would be given a chance to handle the Yankee reins, after his present player contract runs out. This con- tract, calling for the record sS0,000 salary and signed last spring in training camp, has one year more to run. The Babe is known to have a distinct ambition to try his hand at managing but the replacement of Shawkey by Mccarthy would put off an early prospect of Ruth gain ing his desired opportunity.

GRID STARS MAY
 BECOME COACHES
Young Players Getting Chances
 to Shine as Mentors
By TED VOSBURGH

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 New York, Oct. 2 P}-A flock of young fellows whose deeds on the gridiron were thrilling the fans not so long ago are getting their chance to shine in the coaching field this season.
 At Syracuse probably the greatest all-around athlete the institution ever produced, Vic, Hanson, becoems head coach. If the former All- American Is half as good a mentor as he was an end, Orange fans will be fully satisfied.
 Pete Dwyer. erstwhile coach of Niagara, will be on tic's staff to lend an experienced hand.
 Charley Bowser, one of the great est inspirational players Pittsburgh ever produced, takes charge at Bow doin after a liberal education in coaching methods as an assistant to Jock Sutherland at Pitt.
 Opponents of the Panther teams of six or seven years ago remember Bowser as a raging, rampaging fighter who flung away his head gear and shifted from quarterback to center or vice versa to get where the going was hottest.
 Howard Harpster, called "the quarterback with a coach's head" when he played for Carnegie Tech couple of years ago, succeeds Mack Flenniken a9 head coach at Geneva.
 John Law, wealthy youth who was a star guard and captain of Notre Dame the year before last, is to run the destinies of Manhattan in another interesting test of the coaching abilities of the younger football generation.
 Judson Timm, one of Bob Zupp- ke's best backs of recent years at Illinois, replaces Si Pauxtis of Penn at Pennsylvania Military college.
 At the University of Mississippi, Ed Walker, sturdy lineman at Stan ford and last year a member of the Columbia University staff, succeeds the one-time Rutgers All-America, Homer Hazel, as head mentor.
 Swede Oberlander, one of the greatest ball-heavers that ever hurl- ed a touchdown pass and the mov- ing spirit of the mighty Dartmouth team of 1925 when he gained AlI- America recognition. now presides as head coach at Wesleyan.
 Another outstanding star who has drawn a head coaching assignment iG Chris Cagle of the Army, who will be in charge of the squad at Mis- sissippi A. & M.

SILENT ON PITCHER
Despite Announcement by Gabby Street that Rhem Would Hurl, Mack Refuses to Make Choice,

Philadelphia. Oct. 2 (UP)-Super- stitious man, this Connie Mack.
 When the veteran manager of tho Philadelphia Athletics was question: ed concerning his pitching choice to- day in the second game of World series with the St. Louis Cards, he answered.:
 T won't know until game time. I started the custom of not naming my pitchers until the last moment in last years series, and it has worked out rather successfully. It may be little superstition of mine. but l think I'll keep it up for a while"
 Just the opposite from Mack was Gabby Street, leader of the Cards.
 "Rehm will pitch the second game. Bill Hallahan will open in St. Louis Saturday, and Jess Haines will pitch Sunday"
