BUSINESS AND
WESTERN
CLASH
BY GINO SINH

Today's interhigh school base
ball game at Eastern Stadium
at $3.50 is a toss-up, with West
ern's pitching coping against
Business batting. The game is
important in one thing, that the
loser is practically assured the
cellar position at the end of the
series.
1 The pitching assignments are
expected to fall on the shoulders
of George Clark, for Western,
and Jimmy Garner, for Business.
Both proved fairly formidable,
with Clark the better appearing
of the two.
Westerns hickories haven't
spoken quite as frequently as
those of the Stenogs, but their
sound, when they did speak, was
unmistakable. Central dumped
Western by 12-4 count, which
isn't so bad considering the fact
that Tech could only CLEAN four
tallies from that school and
Tech is looked upon as strong in
every department.
Business argued with Eastern
tooth and nail, in their DOW.
WOW but EaStern'S power was a
little too much, the StenOgs
taking the little end of I'LL
score.
Those II digits were compiled
off of Phillips and Lanahan,
which may mean something, or
may be just casual remark.
In their latest appearances,
both came out second best, but
Business clubs did their bit, while
the West Enders connections were
not so good. Gonzaga whipped
the Stenogs, 100, after II
innings of Slugging, Duryee and
Esenstad featuring for the Orange.
Western bowed to Alexandra
High 14-5. Fletcher, Keith and
Roy Yowell were prominent with
the flail for the Red and Blue.
Though Garner was officially
blamed for Business loss of the
Gonzaga game, he pitched first
rate ball, allowing but five hits
in seven innings and striking out
four men.
Tech and GOnZaga are due
to encounter in a contest which
should provide interesting dia-
mOnd scuffling.
Tech dropped two interhigh
contests after terrific battles,
while Gonzaga has been offer
ing sturdy resistance all around,
though, with no title at stake,
the result little noted.
Two other attractive baseball
meetings bring Central in oppo-
sition to Maryland Freshmen at
College Park, and Emerson
against Washington and Lee at
Ballston.
Western netmen, prospective
interhigh champions, are Journey
ing over to Severn Park, Md,
to meet the Severn Park High
School team, while Dewitt and
Friends racket wielders are meet
ing at the Friends courts.
Eastern scored over Dewitt
Prep nine, 6 to S, after a spir-
tied game, decided by a resound-
ing homer Of Bob Snyder, East
ern'S classy backStOp'S bat.
Draper allowed the Lincoln
Parkers six hits. but they made
the most of them, compiling five
runs, aided by several appropriate
botches by the Prepmen.
Georgetown Prep failed to offer
any consistent resistance to the
Georgetown Freshmen, who won,
II to 4, scoring at will. Crowley
allowed the Prepmen four hits.
Keane smashed out a four-baser.

PAVLIKOVIC OUT
 AT RANTS DRILL
Fordham Enjoys First Practice of Year - 50 Candidates Report

New York, Sept 3--What's all this talk about a depression? Jobs, good ones, too, are just crying for the right men at Fordham and Manhattan. And all you have to do Is lug leather capsule around a football field. Just breeze, you say. Well, there were a lot of ap- plicants who turned out yesterday who'll tell you a different story.
 The first official huddles of the 1881 season took place under the eyes of Major Cavananugh of the Rams and Johnny Law of the Jas pers. Cavanaugh has nice flock of fine young Irish boys in Andy Pavlokovic, Mike Sienkiewicz, Wal ter Uzdavanis, Bill Modzelski and Johnny Szymanski with a few Murphys, Keenans and Hurleys thrown in for good measure to keep up appearances. Out of that bunch of syllables there ought to be a few good football players. A good squad answered the roll call at the Bronx campus and took 1t on the lam for bigger and better touchdowns.
 Somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty aspirants tore up the turf at Manhattan under the knowing eyes of the W. k John Law. With Columbia's sessions already under way, only New York U. and c. c. N. Y. of the five Met institutions remain idle. The latter two will be- gin to shake their puppies next week.

PRINCETON COACH
 SUGGESTS CHANGE
 IN ROPER METHOD
Al Wittmer to Do Away With "Pep" Talks Be- tween Halves-TO Sub= stitute Logic
BY DIXON STEWART

 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Princeton University will be the scene of an interesting experiment during the 1881 football season, with the new head coach, Al Witt mer, attempting to substitute logic for inspiration in the pre-gamo and between halves talks to play CTS.
 A Veteran Himself
 Wittmer, a Princeton football player himself not so long ago, says that he never in any circum- stances will urge members of his team to Ego out and die for dear old Princeton" and that his play CTS will not be annoyed by inspi- rational talks between the halves by coaches and old grads.
 This will be radical change for Princeton, where stories of in spired" teams overcoming handi-- ca<,s to win are traditionary. Bill Roper, Whittmer's immediate pre- decessor and former coach, was credited with being one of the most eloquent of dressing room orators Roper's theory that "a team that won't be. beaten, can't be beaten" and his ability to in spire players to superhuman ef- fort is credited with having won many games for Princeton.
 Yes and No
 Football men are divided on the value of the between halves pep talks" Some declare that they are a waste of time and make the speaker appear ridiculous to the players. Others declare they ire uuently decide games.
 There are various methods or approach in inspiring teams. One of them is to berate the players and call the players names. on the theory that. the players will be lashed into rage. Other coaches make the personal pathetic ap- peal and beg. athletes to do some- thing for the dear old coach. Or, sometimes to make it more effec- tive. the "old grads are called upon for the talks and beg the players to do and die" for the "dear old school and good old coach"
 Rockies Fall For Ii
 Football coaches agree that the inspirational talks have an effect upon younger players but are use less with the veterans. A West Point coach admits that the pep talks have little effect on Army players.

In popularity, none of the other clubs which have played here this season, quite come up to the Royals. There have been better teams, that is sure, but the consensus among the fans is that the team featuring MT. Brooks is the favorite. Danger ous hitters, fast base runners and crafty generals in all departments of the game, the Giants are treat to watch. Home Run" Brooks, the gentleman who sends those baseball bills soaring will be back ready to knock a few more over the trees or over the bleachers. Circus Country" Brown sends advance ir- formation that he has a new bag of laughs for the fans and that's what everyone is waiting for.
 Hoben To Play
 Manager George Tracey of the Garage nine wants to be the first team to knock off an exhibition club and with that in mind is coralling "a fine array of performers. He will have Johnny Hoben, Atwood, Mur- phy, Vincent, Radzevich, Ahearn, Mueller. Mullins, Doran, Harlow and Lattimer ready to avenge that last setback at the hands of the colOred sensations
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-03

A break from old Jupe Pluvius would be welcomed by both the promoters and spectators. Only one substitution has been made, Willie Lewis, the tough colored Stamford middleweight, showing in the six round go, for Frankie Linhart against Little Boy Safrit of Vir- ginia. Linhart pulled up with a broken fist yesterday afternoon forcing the change. Little was known of Linhart. but his successor is well acquainted with localities.
 Nichols Pleases Crowd
 A huge throhg crowded Phil Coppetos gym yesterday afternoon to get their first glimpse of Nichols who was quite impressive In his short workout. His southpaw jabs and crosses showed plenty of muscle behind them. Archie should have a very bothersome evening with the white boy.
 Two Good lrishmen
 The semi-final number featuring Jerry McLarn of Watertown and Jimmy Sullivan of Florida should be WOW while it lasts, for both can punch like pile drivers. The later can absorb plenty of punish ment in addition to supplying plen- ty while the same holds sway for McI.arn. It should be one of the best bouts on the card.
 Prelims Look Promising.
 In putting Willie Lewis on the card the promoters made a fine move. for the well-built negro is a crowd pleaser. Little is known of Safrit, who is showing here for the first time. In the opening bouts both four rounders, Andy Strong of Washington meets K. o. Sweeney of Torrington while Frankie Kelma of Oakville takes on Carl Schnider of Danbury.

KAPLAN PICKED TO BEAT PILKINCTON
Rivals Clash at Hartford Tuesday-Beneft Card for Mt Sinai Hospital

Hartford, Sept 3--At least more than two people are lahoring un- der stubborn delusion that Jackie Pilkington is simply being led to slaughter when he meets Louis (Kid) Kaplan of this city. in 10-round bout for the state lightweight championship at Cap itol park here on next Tuesday night.
 This title tilt heads card ar ranged by Promoter Al Weill of New York. the proceeds of which will go to the women's auxiliary of Mt Sinai hospital, and it is not beside the point to explain that MT Pilkington does not in the least expect to arrive at the hospital any sooner than said proceeds.

 STEADILY LOSING
 VALUABLE POINTS
May Wind Up at Bottom of First Division-R0b- ins on Their Trail-- Giants Firm
BY l.. s. CAMERON (ITnifad ppasS Shorts E,fiif


 New York, Sept 3-.UP)-The once proud Chicago Cubs to-day were in imminent danger of drop ping to the bottom of the first diW- sion in the National League.
 If the Chicagoans should lose to the Cincinnati Reds to-day and the Brooklyn Robins take the measure of the New York Giants, the Cubs and Robins will be tied for third place.
 Second Place Out
 Third place apparently, is all the Cubs can hope to gain this season. Their double defeat at the hands of the Reds yesterday, while the Giants were taking a double-header from the Boston Braves, left the New Workers six and one-half games out in front.
 Leo Durocher and Harvey Hen- drick, Cincinnati infielders, were the principal reasons for the Reds "A and S-4 victories. Durocher rapped out six hits in the two games, while Hendricks came through with four.
 Parmelee Aids Giants
 The Giants double victory gave them clean sweep of the five game series. Hubbell pitched the Giants to g to win in the first game. New York took the nightcap 3 to 1 behind the strong pitching of Bud Parmelee, who allowed but four hits.
 The other National League clubs were not scheduled.
 Play in the American League saw both contenders for second place come through with victories the Washington Senators defeating the Philadelphia Athletics to 2 while the New York Yankees nosed out the Boston Red Sox to 6.
 The General in Command
 Alvin Crowder limited the world champions to six hits. Philadelphia did not get runner to second un- til the ninth inning.
 After spotting the Red Sox five run lead the Yankees came from behind to win.
 Detroit and St Louis divided a double header, the Tigers taking the opener to 3 and losing the second to 4. Sorrell and Blaehol- der were the winning pitchers.
 Urban Red Faber pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 3 to ? win over the Cleveland Indians in the first game of a twin bill. The sec ond game ended in a A tie when called on account of darkness at the end of the sixth.
