~HICAGO, October 16.-They're

song, ION, Wisconsin," with
renewed spirit and hope on
the Badger campus this Fall.
After years Of disappointment the
Badgers believe they have one of the
prize elevens Of the 1880 foot ball wars.
And what's more, they expect to prove
it conclusively Saturday when the
naughty Quakers from Pennsylvania
invade the Badger lair at Camp Ran
dali for one of the outstanding inter-
sectional games of the season.
Only a week ago foot ball enthusi-
asm was at q low ebb at Wisconsin be-
cause Of injuries and the apparent lack
of good material. Then came the
Chicago and the players, students and
skeptical alumni became Wisconsin
foot ball fans again. Ticket sales for

were that q record homecoming crowd

mean anything, the ozone over Camp

during the game. Each team has
sterling forward pass attack and plans
to use it, although each eleven has a
set of feet runners and hard-driving
backs for immediate employment.

points to in two games, will enter the

VINES To MEET
WILLIAMS

SEA BRIGHT, N. j., July 80.
That perpetually youthful vet
eran, r. Norris Williams I'd, who
was winning championships be-
fore Ellsworth Vines was born,
is served UP on the altar Of the
California Schoolboy'S ambitions
In the quarterfinal round Of the
Sea Bright Lawn Tennis and
Cricket Clubs invitation tourna-
ment here this afternoon.
One Of the greatest Shot-makers
of all times, former national
champion and Davis Cup captain,
Williams had been conceded a
chance to conquer the 18-year-old
coast boy before the second round
was played.
But not any longer. Not after
that three-Set victory the Cali
fornia giant scored over Frank
Shields yesterday.
Even after his fiVe-set wins
over Shields and Hunter in
the metropolitan champion
ships last week there was
some doubt about Vines true
ability.
There were still some doubling
ThomaSes" who poo-poohed the
idea that youngster playing on
grass for the first time could be
as good as Vines appeared to be.
There can be no more doubling
after his victory over Shields here,
however. It was the third straight
win over the youngster who has
been called the player without a
weakness" for Vines, and it was
achieved in such brilliant fashion
that even Shields had to acknowI-
edge he had met his master.
All the other quarter-finalS in
the mems singles are overshadowed
oy this meeting between the Cali
fornia sensation and the Davis Cup
veteran, but three good contests
are on tap when Frank Hunter
meets Julie Seligson, Sidney B.
Wood clashes with Davey Jones
and Cliff Suffer plays Gil Hall.

you should avoid breaking the
wrists quickly. Instead OF
breaking the wrists. make your
left arm go upward, the wrist
breaking taking place more
toward the top of the back
swing action. This causes more
pivot, since the left arm, push
ing more and more back and
up, makes the upper body twist
to follow after it. At the top,
then, you should find the club
nicely poised, the slack taken
up in the wrists, the grip closed
but not rigid, and your body
in balance. Now let the club
start downward, and shove
your right hand directly toward
your right trousers pocket.
Swing the clVb-don't concern
yourself about hitting at the

YANKEE YACHTS

The actual tip-off on the array Of

rock, came yesterday when not
one of the three yachts, Yankee,
Weetamoe and Enterprise, would
venture out into a sea that was
believing to find out what they
were made Of.
Old man ocean was defeated be-
cause the tallsparred cup de-
tenders kept close to their moor
ings in Brenton's cove, a very
snug harbor.
The shippers of the three cup
yachts anchored here knew from
the flying clouds what was going
on outside on the Atlantic and
they decided that the best thing
to do was to remain inside the
cove.
If Shamrock v can stand
such blow and such q sea,
she will come very close to
winning that old tankard
known as Americas cup. II
Is obvious that none Of the
Americas cup defenders can
weather anything more than
what is known in nautical
circles, wind moderate"
The yachts now will be cleaned
up for the first leg Of the annual
New York Yacht Club cruise,
which will bring them from New
London back to this port.
On the cruise they will be rae
ing in a special class by them
selves, and their work on each leg
of the cruise will be watched by
the New York Yacht Clubs selec-
ton committee, which will finally
name the defender.
Weetamoe and Enterprise WIG
taken to the Herreshoff yards, in
Bristol.
Yankee, with Secretary Of the
Navy Charles Francis Adams
experimenting the job, was
hauled out here late last night
and her bronze hull is being
scraped and polished for the final
tests which will decide whether
she is to defend the Americas
cup or go to the scrap heap-rep-
resenting q total loss Of a miiliori
and q half dollars.

It is interesting to this OBJ
server to note some of the
modus operandi used by Joe
Mccarthy to keep his Chicago
Cubs up there in the National
League pennant race. and it is
reaSsuring, in view Of some OF
the reports that have gone out
about Rogers Hornsby being a
trouble maker, to hear Joe Nc
Carthy say he hasn't a dissent
ing influence on his entire
team and that, man for man,
the boys are happy, care-free
and without worry.
Not unoften in baseball you
find a team which is seeking
its second pennant in q row,
suffering from the long strain
Of leadership or near leader
ship, and a team that is han
dicapped somewhat by having
TO establish and maintain a
pace. Not so with the Cubs.
of whom Mccarthy says there
isn't a rat" on the team.
Asked how he maintained
such a splendid morale in his
club, Mccarthy recently told
Eastern newspaper men:
"In the first place, I pick
my men," declared Mccarthy.
you cannot change q mans
disposition, but you can pick
the man that has the mental
attitude you want. My men
are all in good humOr be-
cause I haven't . rat on the
club. One diSturber can do
more to wreck your bali team
than all the opposing great
pitchers and hitters in the
league. Those boys out there
know that no one is coming
to me and telling tales or sit
ting ON the bench and criti-
Ching every false move that
Is made. That all makes for
harmony, and without il you
cannot win consistently.
Another thing / try to
make them do is to play and
think baseball ON the field
and then FORGET it.
81 never tell them, This
Is the game you have to win
today or This is the club

words, I never try to put un.
due importance ON any tilt.
I usually say, Let's go out

An indication Of the good
feeling on the club is the ten
dency Of the bali players to tell
stories in which they are usu-
ally the "butt" of the yarns.
Hack Wilson, for instance, has
this to say of a recent incident

New York, July 3o.-My, my,
what a tonic that stribling VIC
tory has been to boxing!
Around Madison Square Garden
it seems like old bonanza, Tex
Rickard days, what with this
manager and that, yonder promo
ter and beaming boxing "direc-
tors" buzzing around, wanting to
know when and how they could
get in touch with Bill and Pa
Stribling.
It seems that Frank Bruen,
general manager of the Garden,
had stolen a march on them all
by getting into telephone COM
munication with the Striblings
Monday night, shortly after they
had come back to their hotel in
triumph, after the Knockout Of
Phil Scott in two rounds.
Herman Taylor, for in
stance, came tearing over
from Philadelphia, wanting
to know how the Garden
could hope to. get any part
Of StribIing when he has him
matched to fight Primo Car
nera for the Ice and Coal
Fund at Atlantic City.
Bruen sat back and grinned.
He seemed to think that he had
Stribling UP his sleeve for good
and whenever he is ready to do
little slight of hand work, max
ing the little pink-eyed rabbit,
the growing roses and the glass
of wine instead of the glass Of
water from his silk hat, he will
do it. The kids clever, he is.
This is Bruen's plan as he laid
it out yes-tiddy. Stribling and
Campolo will positively meet in
September for Madison Square
Garden. Something that Pa
Stribling said over the telephone
from London made Bruen cock
sure of that.
Then, the winner Of that
bout will be matched to fight
the fellow who stands out in
Miami, and that winner is to
meet Max Schmeling for the
worlds title, next June.
The Miami match will have TO
be arranged in the latter part Of
September or early in January.
Bruen said:
"NOw, I'd like Sharkey to step
out and fight somebody. fight
lot of fellows.
HE owes it to himself to
prove to 25,OOO persons who saw
him at Miami and some SO,0O0
others in New York that he
wasn't guilty of intentional low
hitting in either place. Instead
Of sitting around waiting for
100000 purses, he ought to
make himself the big figure"
WELL" your humble servant
asked, 'If St1ibling whips Cam
polo and Sharkey does some
thing to attract attention, would
you put Sharkey and Stribling
back In Miami?"

an attraction here. Stribling

BY BABE RUTH

~ BOSTON, Mass, July 30
Now that the most valuable player
!, award has gone out OF fashion
among the two big leagues. I'm
getting dozens of letters asking
z me what / think of this PLAYA
and that player, and his valI
' to the team. Naturally / can't
answer all those letters. If did,
II wouldn't get any time to play
! baseball.
9 But have some ideas on the
subject and maybe the best way
for me to answer the letters is
to do it at one jump by NAM
ing my idea of the most valuable
man to his club, on each OF the
is major league clubs.
It isn't any easy job. On most
Of the clubs, particularly the
pennant c0ntenders, there are
three or four outstanding men
and it's hard to pick between
them.
On the Philadelphia Nationals,
for instance, both Klein and
Lefty O'Doul are powers with the
stick and between them are win
ring three out of every four
games the Phillies manage to get
into the win column. So far as
these two are concerned / haven't
been able to figure yet which one
/ Is the more valuable. SO I've
called it a tie-and named them
. both.
Some Of the others, of course,
, I figure are real standoutS. Eel
lows like Frankie Frisch, of the
Cardinals; Bill Terry, of the
Giants; Babe Herman. Of the
Dodgers, and chaps like that are
Just kick-overs in my opinion.
, And If the two leagues were
still offering their most valuable
player awards those fellows would
be sure to be right up there In
the money.
Anyhow here's my idea of the
most valuable player to his team
on each of the big league clubs.
] Remember there's nothing off.
. cial about this--and, of course,
there's always chance for argu-
] ment-but it's my own personal
idea, and you can't shoot a man
{ for having ideas. So here goes:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Boston Americans - Pitcher,
. Milton CASTOR.
New York Yankees - First
baSeman, Lou Gehrig.
WashingtOn-O utfielder, Sam
Rice.
Cleveland Indians - Pitcher,
Wesley Terrell.
st. Louis BrOwns-Ou
Goose GOSlin.
Chicago White SOx - Out.
fielder, Reynolds.
Detroit Tigers-SecOnd base
man, Gehringer.
Philadelphia A's-OutfieIder,
Al Simmons.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Boston Braves - OutfieIder,
WaIly Berger.
New York Giants-First base
man, Bill Terry.
Philadelphia Outfielders,
Klein and O'DOul.
Pittsburgh - Outfielder, Paul
Waner.
St. Louis Cards - Infielder,
Frank FriSch.
Chicago Cubs - Outfielder,
Hack Wilson.
Cincinnati Reds - Outfielder,
Harry Heilmann4
Brooklyn DOdgerS-Outfielder,
Babe Hermann.
And that's that. Maybe you've
got different ideas-but we won't
argue. AS I said before, there
are other players on q lot OF
clubs who are mighty close to
the ones I've mentioned and
there's plenty to be said on each
side. If you don't agree with
me, why, it's an honest differ
enct of opinion, and anyhow I've
answered the questions that seem
to have been bothering lot of
fans for quite some time.
