SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press staff Correspondel

NEW YORK, Sept. q. UP
/ Comparisons are odiouS, as Gandhi
SAID to Marlene Dietrich, but they
! are never so odious, not TO mention
odorous, as Just before a world
series when the sports writing boys
pile on pair OF statistics on another
and by a process Of mental arith-
metic tell you who has the stronger
team.
What We mean is. you can take
all these dope stories dealing with
the rival first baseman. the rival
second basemen, the rival third
basemen, the rival water boys, the
rival groundkeepers, and the rival
batboys Of the Philadelphia Athle-
tics and st. Louis Cardinals and
throw them out the window. For
they don't mean anymore than q re
volution in South America.
# you doubt US and want to check
up, why just pun out a couple Of
baseball guides eve use the 1881
and 1880 editions) and run through
the composite box scores of the las.
series.
Editors Note. The curtain will
be lowered for five minutes while
the skeptics are busy checking up
Now. what did we tell you. hope
YOU noticed, the smartieS. that Jim
Bottomley, WHO hit better than 300
during the regular season, could get
no more than one single in - times
up for a grand average OF 045 in
the 80 tiff with the Athletics. And
that Taylor Douthit, another 300
hitter. batted at the breath-tak
clip of .0S3 And when you bat 083
il simply means you couldn't hit
medicine ball with two by four
While Bottomley and Douthit, two
of the St. Louisans who were touted
to the skies in the pre-series dope
stories. were falling down. Charley
Colbert. shortstop. led the club n
batting with mark Of .3l6.
The same thing was true on the
Philadelphia side of the fence
Mickey Cochrane. who hit .357 dur
ing the season, batted .222 in the
series. And Mule Haas, who batted
a respectable 800. could do no bet
ter than II in the big battle. The
same thing happened in the 1929
series. We quote these example
merely as proof Of our argument
that these dope stories are Just SO
much malarkey. The boys might
as well say Colbert had ar edge
on Boley because he takes his cof-
fee straight. or Dykes will outshine
Adams because Dykes has size ID
feet. while Adams takes a No. 9.
On yes. we almost forgot to men
ton Roger Peckinpaugh and the
1925 series. Because Of Peck's bril-
liant play during the season Che
vas awarded the trophy for mos
valuable players the boys gave
Washington d tremendous edge al
shortstop. You know what hap
pened. Peckinpaugh went out and
made eight errors for an all-ttme
record.

FOR APACHES

The Mohawk and Apache foot
ball teams will meet Sunday at
Griffith Stadium to determine
which is the best semipro aggre-
CATION in the District of Colum-
bia.
This contest is not South

and they wanted another crack at
the Apaches, who defeated them
recently.
Coach Artie WOnrack, of the
Hawks, said today: 1--WE will
trim those Apaches handily SO
they won't have any alibis!"
Patsy Donovan has issued or
ders for the Hawks to drill every
night this week in order that they
will be in the best of condition
for the struggle Sunday.
The teams have met twice be
fore. The first game ended in a
7-to-7 tie and the second game
went to the Apaches by a 13-to-e
score.

unable to play this year because
of scholastic ineligibility.
Basketball Next Week
Basketball at Gonzaga Will
not commence until next week,
according to Mitchell. Mid-year
examinations are now occupying
the attention of all athletes at
the school and sports are not to
be thought about until the busy
period is over.
The Eye streeters will be pretty
well fixed for the court game
when it is finally begun. No less
than eight men will be back

clude Fitzgerald, Perusso, Hurley
and Grace, guards; Joe and
Garlic Mills, Hall and Tom Nolan,
forwards, and Jack Carr, center.
The team will be light again,
as of last year. However, Mitchell
feels that the collection Of men
on hand will play step better
than in 1881 because of the de-
veloped experience. Gonzaga
opens its 1882 season against
Western on January 6 at West
ern.
Games with all of the high
school fives are on schedule
now being compiled. Many night
contests are also on the list, which
will bring many an interesting
contest to the floor at the Eye

at a fast pace within the past
few weeks.
His most notable performance
was a victory over Rudy Tusek
nearly two weeks ago in Boston.
OF course, Dusek wreStled Kiri-

of the fans attend his matches
in the hope that the Greek is
beaten. Kirilenko hopes to turn
the trick Thursday night.
The supporting card could
hardly be improved upon. Rudy
Dusek and Frank Brunowicz will
grapple in the main preliminary
and these chaps should cause no
little excitement among the fans.
Besides, there will be bouts be-
