Pleased, but not satisfied"
That was the verdict of coach E.
G. Hayes, Indiana's new grid men
tor, following the Crimson debut
under his new system last Saturday,
when the Hoosiers stopped the nine
teen-game winning strike of Ohio
university, to 6.
Hayes lost no time in getting
down to work for one of the Grim
sons most important tests-an all
Indiana affair with Notre Dame
here next Saturday. Realizing his
squad needs lots of polishing, Hayes
ordered his varsity out Monday for
dummy scrimmage against Wally
Marks frosh squad using Notre
Dame formations. A longer and
harder workout was carded today.
The old grid axiom, "a team is
only as strong as its reserve" finds
Indiana we'll fortified, with a squad
of eighty men. Coach Hayes has
two complete back fields that are
of about equal strength. He has a
near-veteran quartet in Opasik and

ing the only sophomore. Edmonds,

Four outstanding wingmen forth

performances. Zeller, guard, is a

for the Cubs. Either Red Faber
or Ted Lyons will pitch for the
White SoX.
Manager Rogers Hornsby expects to
use Root, Bush, Smith and Malone
in that order against the White
Sox. Manager DOME Bush will have
to rely on Faber, Lyons, Thomas
and Frasier for all the White Sox
pitching.
The Cubs have a decided edge
over the White Sox, in pitching
strength. Faber has had trouble
going more than six or seven in
nings and Lyons hasn't completely
recovered from an arm ailment
which kept him idle most of the
season. FRASER and Thomas have
been in-and-outers all season.
Two of the White Sox cripples,
shortStop Bill Cissell and outfielder
Carl Reynolds, are expected to get
into the series. The Cubs lineup
which won third place in the Ma
tional League race is intact.
The first two games will be played
at Wrigley field Wednesday and
Thursday, and the next three at
Comiskey park, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. If the sixth and
seventh games are necessary they
will be played at Wrigley field Mon
day and Tuesday.

Rookie Phenom Slated to HurI First Tilt
Against AS; Philly Doubts Haines Injury
HalIahan or Johnson May
Start Second; Grimes
Held in Reserve.
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ga
lanky Kentuckian, Paul Der
ringer, is expected to go to
the mound for the St. Louis
Cardinals Thursday in the
opening game with the
Philadelphia Athletics for the
worlds championship.
Derringer, with eighteen victories
and eight defeats in his first year
OF major league ball, appeared Man
ager Charles (Gabby) Streets
choice today, with either Bill Hal
lahan, only Cardinal southpaw, or
Sylvester Johnson, slated to pitch
the second game of the series.
Street. with two of his regulars
nursing injuries, had other things
to think about before definitely de-
Gliding on Derringer, but admitted
he favored the former Rochester
ace. Burleigh Grimes is likely to
be held in reserve. The Spitball
veteran has been off form lately.
With Jesse Raines definitely off
the list of pitching possibilities due
to slow healing shoulder muscle,
and Sparky Adams, third baseman,
and Pepper Martin, center fielder,
with leg injuries, the Cardinals face
the series in far from peak condi-
ton. Betting odds on the Athletics
to win dropped as result.
AS Rule Coin Favorites
The American League champions
we're quoted at one to two to take
their third successive worlds cham
pionship. A fortnight ago they were
7 to 10 favoriteS. The Cards were
quoted at to on the series, and
as high as 4 to to take two games
straight. Last week they we're
quoted at even money for the series.
Despite the odds, there was a
perky feeling in the Cardinal camp.
It centered around two beliefs. One
was that Lefty Grove, having won
thirty-one games this year, is due
for a few reverses. The other that
jim Bottomley, dismal batting fail
ure of last years series, has regained
his eye.
Bill Walker Helps
The Cards, after a victory pa
rade" through downtown streets to-
day, planned to continue their hit
ting practice against left-hand
pitching. With Lefty Grove in mind,
they imported Bill Walker, New
York Giants southpaw, to help out.
Walker has been effective against
the Red Birds this year. His de-
livery is similar to Groves.
The American League baseball is
being used in practice, with no ap-
preciable difference in the distance
hit, Manager Street said. His pitch
ers reported 1t a little more difficult
to control. The National League
sphere has heavier seams.

Athletics to Leave Tonight
for st. Louis; Open
Series Thursday.
BY L. s. CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.
This was getaway day for
Philadelphia Athletics, who
were to leave soon after sun
& set for st. Louis where Connie
Mack will attempt to win his
third consecutive world series
championship, a feat as yet
unrecorded.
The Athletics engaged in their
last pre-series game when they were
shut out Monday by their home
town rivals, the Phillies, in an UNI
employment benefit game.
incidentally, the defeat at the
hands of the Phillies was the Sec
ond in succession sustained by the
Mackmen. On Sunday the New
York Yankees closed the American
League season with 1871 victory
over the AS.
Klein CloutS Two
Chuck Klein, smuggling outfielder
of the Phillies, banged out two
homers and batted in all the runs
for the victors in Mondays tilt.
Waite Hoyt and Leroy Mahaffey,
the Athletics hurlers, were ham,
mered for ten hits. Phil Collins held
the AS to one hit in four innings
and elise Dudley gave them two in
the last five frames. All Athletic
regulars played part Of the game.
A triple play in the fifth inning
stopped the only threat of the AS
With Miller on second and Dykes
on first, Williams lined to Whitney,
whose throw to O'Rourke doubled
Miller, while the relay throw erased
Dykes before he could return to
first.
Most of the street-corner experts
have Robert Moses Grove assigned
to the opening pitching assignment.
Others recall how Mack astounded
ali concerned when he sent Howard
Ehmke to pitch the first game of
the 1929 series with Chicago, and
believe he will nominate Waite
Hoyt, cast-off of the Yankees and
the Detroit Tigers, for the opener.
Expect Derringer
The fans here are fairly well
agreed that Paul Derringer, husky
right-hander, will be the first ST.
Louis pitcher to face the bats of
Foxx, Simmons and the others.
Many local enthusiasts, however,
know" that Jess Haines, also
right-hander, will draw the assign
ment.
There's story going the rounds
here, that reports of Haines' injury
and probable unavailability are
what are known as the honus-
bolognus.
