To-Day's Sport
 P a r a d e
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

New York, Sept 15-(UP)-To- days bit of unasked advice: Don't allow the long hospital list of the Philadelphia Athletics lead you into making a wager on the St Louis Cardinals in the coming world series.
 Now, please don't up and take this advice to mean that we think the Cards haven't a chance of win ming, and to support them with anything more negotiable than words would be silly, for we don't think any thing of the kind. What we are trying to get across Is the fact that the boy or girl who picks the Cards simply because he or she thinks the As will be crippled, is kerazy.
 For just as sure as you're born all the Philadelphia regulars, from Cochrane, who is on the verge of a breakdown, to Boley, who has 396 charley horses and the earache, will be in there swing ing from their spikes, and looking very robust, indeed.
 An old Diamond Custom
 Right now, when they couldn't lose the pennant even if they used hatrack on first base, a grand fathers clock at second, and a bow-legged baggage smasher at short, the As are giving their reg ulars a rest. And 1t is an old base ball custom, when a regular is pulled from the lineup, to assign him some injury. Sometimes he is assigned a sprain, sometimes a bruised ninth vertebrae, and some times a pulled tendon. But always something.
 Of course, the Athletics may really be in bad shape. You never can tell about such things. But 1t is our guess that when the big battle rolls round, all the big boys will be in there taking their cut at the ball.
 Baseball is not the only sports where injured players stage truly superhuman recoveries. How many times have you read on Wednesday where some football player will be out for the season, only to read few days later where this same chappie scored three touchdowns against Siwash, kicked four field goals, made half his teams tackles, and still had enough left to do a mean rhumba at the junior prom. Or where a sprinter, who pulled a tendon on Thursday, ran the hundred" in ten flat against State on Saturday.
 The Malarkey
 Oh yes, don't let us overlook dear old professional fisticuffs when speaking of imaginary in juries. A classic of this type was Primo Cameras broken ribs on the eve of his fight with Jimmy Ma loney last winter. Of course, Primo might have really had two fractured ribs when he crawled in there with Jimmy, but if he did he's the toughest guy in the world. For Maloney. suspicious to a fault, pounded the bandaged area for ten rounds without getting even so much as a grunt out of the big Italian.
 The surest way to find out If a fighters training camp injury Is genuine is to call the promoter and ask how the advance sale is com ing along.

GERMAN SPORTS
 HIT BY SLUMP
By ERIC KEYSER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent Berlin.-German sport author ities are eagerly looking for signs which might herald an abatement in the present economic and fan cial crisis. An abatement would mean much to them. It is, in fact,
 the preliminary condition for Ger
 many's participation in the com
 ing Olympic Games at Los
 Angeles.
 At present this participation is
 highly problematic. With the big
 event a bare ten months off, the German Olympic committee does not know where the money would come from to send teams to the
 United States.
 Any attempt now made to ob- tain such funds would be certain to meet with a refusal. The gov-
 ernment could not grant 1t at a
 time when it is cutting down ex- penses. An attempt to get this
 money from public funds would
 presumbaly net the German Olym- pic committee severe criticism. Industry, too, would not be will ing to donate money just now and
 the German sport authorities feel
 that a refusal might prejudice
 their case.
 On the other hand. it is quite impossible that the German ath- letic associations finance an ex- petition to Los Angeles from their funds, such as they are. Most of the associations are also suffering
 from the general economic crisis.
 Many of the associations have diff
 faculties in collecting membership
 dues.
 To say that this situation is
 placing the Germans in a quan- dary is mild. For the last three , years they have been devoting
 time, energy, and money to the training of a promising crop of athletes. Now that they have de-
 veloped quite a number of top notchers- according to the opin- ion of leading sports experts. Ger many's chances for Los Angeles are at least as good as they were for the 1928 Olympics at Amster-
 dam-they may not be able to let them compete.
 While it is still hoped that
 way out can be found before next
 summer, conditions are precarious
 with view of the winter games at Lake Placid. Germany intended to send two teams each for the two-man and
 the four-man bob events. an ice-
 hockey team of ten men, includ- ing substitutes, four or i've entries | in the skiing events. and one or two representatives for the figure-
 skating championship.
 As things stand now, 1t is doubt | ful whether this program can be carried through.
 At present nothing has been de- cided definitely. Theoretically. the Olympic committee is continuing its preparations for the sending of ful-fiedged representation in both winter games at Lake Placid and the big event at Los Angeles.

THE POWERS THAT BE

THE TUNERS THAT BE
 The club itself is ruled by a five-man directorate. These direc- tors hold various opinions about Your Uncle. Steve McKeever, who owns one-fourth part of the club, has gone on record in favor of sending Robbie to Elba in a leaky boat. Frank York, president of the club, thinks Robbie should be sent to Siberia without skates. Joseph Gilleaudeau and Harry De Mott, who represent the estate of the late Charles Ebbets. hold that Robbie is the best manager Brooklyn could buy. Now we come to the man who holds the deciding ballot in the affairs of the club-Walter Carter, lawyer and sportsman. The first four named members of the board, fol- lowing their usual habit of voting into a dead heat, Carter's decision is the one that counts.

DON'T COUNT OUT
 ROBBIE JUST YET

You can still get a bet over in Flatbush on whether or not Your Uncle Wilbert Robinson will lead the Brooklyn Balminess Boys an- other season. Even though a num- Der of baseball writers have chant ed an anticipatory dirge over Uncle Hobbies bier, it seems that these things are not settled that way.
 Brooklyn is divided over Rob- bic just as the owners and di- rectors of the club are in discord. A number of Flatbush folk think Robbie is not so hot. Another vast group idolizes the man. Both factions, however, attend the ball games. Part of the crowd goes to see and criticize the mistakes Rob- bie's athletes have learned by assiduous malpractice to perpe- trate. Another part. more con- structive- minded, goes to praise Robbie and not to bury him.

There Is more promising young men in the American league. may be both major leabues. than the Earl. When favors are asked, ne promises to do them. Furthermore, he fulfills his promises.
 Just Mark Down 30
 At New Orleans last spring, the pride of Snohomish was asked how many home runs he thought he ought to hit this season. After care ful consideration of his first year in the big leagues, when he his IS, and his second year crop Of 1S, ne remarked:
 too many this year. Yes. guess I'll hit 30.' l.
 saw him hit No 27, which is just three short of 30. With a full month of baseball ahead of him it looked as if nothing less than an earthquake could stop him short of his promise.
 Averill's mates believe he could even beat out the Babe and Lou this wear if he gave it little serl- ous thought. But being a queer sort of a guy, he has to have special reason for hitting every home run.
 Love Leads the Way
 For example: a pair of newly weds phoned the ball park while inc Indians were playing the Sem ators and asked the man in the office to ask Earl to hit a home run for them. The request reached Averill in the second inning.
 Sure, anything to please q cou- pie of young turtle doves," said the Earl. ,.a with a mate on base and the III, dians two runs behind. Wnam: The ball dropped into the street beyond the right field wall. but to make sure everything was love- Iv for the newlyweds, he poked another into the street in the nrtn. The Toy Bat
 On another occasion school Kids tied pretty ribbons around dime store bat and presented 1t To Eari' asking him to hit home run with if. Taking the bat, ribbons and all to the plate with him in the nrst timing. he socked one over the wall to d chorus of wild cheering from the admiring kids.
 He promised last year to beat his 1929 record of IS home runs. But fooling around from day. to day, he finally realized that he had made only IS circuit smashes ana the 1880 season was practically over. In fact, he had got permis- sion to go back home with his family the next day.
 It was Sunday. Mrs Averill and the two kids sat in the family bus parked outside the park. Earl dashed into the clubhouse.
 T thought you were going home to-day" said Manager Peck.
 q am, but I've got to stick around for the first inning and get that 18th home run"
 Sure he got it. Before the third inning was over he had taken his shower, hoppen into the bus and was speeding westward. Snoho- mish-bound.
 Earl's 2t7h home run the other day was distinguished by more than the number 27. It dethroned Eddie Morgan as al1-time home run king of the Indians and set up a new mark. And 1t was a homer inside the park.

Carter has no financial interest in the team which. despite it's droll de- partures from academic baseball, has managed to make a lot of money for it's owners.
 Carter is well posted on the sit- uation. He is well aware that Uncle Robbie is one of the smart est developers of ball players and one of the ablest tacticians in the game. He is left to judge whether or not Robbie could have done any better with the team at his command this year, a team that disappointed in spots where it was supposed to be strong.
