Jewel Ems
Loses Job
George Gibson Rumored as
New Manager at
Pittsburgh.
By United Press

By United Press
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 9.-The
Pittsburgh National League base
ball club is in the market for a
new manager. Announcement of
the dismissal of Jewel Ems as pilot
of the club was made Friday night
by President Barney DreyfuSs.
Ems failed to pr-ng his team up
to expectations during the season
just finished, and it was only by a
rally in the closing weeks that the
Pirates gained fifth place in the
final standings. 1t had been ru-
mored he would not be with the
team another season.
Ems broke in with Pittsburgh club
in 1922 as an infielder, and held the
position of coach under Bill Nc
Kechnie and DOME Bush. He was
chosen manager near the end of the
1929 campaign, succeeding Bush.
DreyfusS did not name a success
Sor to Ems, but it was believed
George Gibson, former Pirate man.
ager, would be appointed. Gibson
once caught for the club, and later
served as manager for two and a
half years, resigning at the close
of the 1922 season.

lad took job as a delivery boy for

Always Martin found ample time
to play baseball, however. His
mothers home was situated near
a Sandlot and Johnny took advan-
tage of it.
His first professional job as a
baseball pitcher came in 1923 with
bush league club at Ardmore,
okla. In 1924 he went to Green
vile, Tex, where he played as an
outfielder.

But Johnny knew he would make
good" Mrs. Martin said. HE kept
fighting and playing baseball be-
cause he loved it."
HE is popular everywhere he
goes. At Greenville, Tex, where he
played in the outfield in 1924, they
gave him a watch and at Houston
they gave him car. But he won't
get the big head"
"Johnny's greatest fault" she
added, "is that he is like all boys,

I like"

The two men who will supply the
Grange" element, and are await
ing only the proving of the sopho-
more line, are Gil Berry. an all
conference selection last season, and
Dave Cook, one of Illinois greatest
sophomore prospects in years.
Against the Illinois mystery
eleven, Coach Noble Kizer will
throw great group of alI-star
back field men with an unproven
line, and the battle of the forward
walls to give their acknowledged
great backs openings is expected to
develop into one of the toughest
fights of the season.
Kizer probably will use Moss and
Calvert at ends, with Husar and
Boswell at the tackle berths. West
erman and Janecek are slated for
guard posts, and Captain Miller will
be at center.
Purdue and Illinois have met
twenty-seven times since 1890, with
Illinois earning fifteen triumphs,
Purdue seven and four games re-
sulting in ties.

MISUNDERSTANDING Dame Game

Notre Dame. record of twenty-one
consecutive victories. BY defeating
Indiana last week, it equalled the
twentieth victory record made in
1919-1920-1921
For Northwestern, it represents an
opportunity for the schools first
victory over Notre Dame since a
2-to-O triumph in 1901.
Coach HearJIey Anderson's Notre
Dame regulars have been pro-
nounced in the peak with the ex-
ception of Nick Lukats, injured full
back, while the Wildcats will enter
the game without the aid of Reb
Russell, whose line plunging ability
was counted upon to give North
western the necessary margin of
victory. Dilley, a guard, also may
be added to the list of injured on
the Purple squad.
The Conference season will get
under way at Lafayette, Ind, where
Illinois tackles Purdue, and at Ann
Arbor where the Chicago Maroons
meet Michigan. The first three elev-
ems named had little difficulty in
bowling over their opponents in

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-Well, here
we are back in st. Louis for the
sixth round of the worlds series
battle, between the Cardinals and
Athletics. 1 talked with several of
the AS shortly after reaching here
and they seemed confident, but that
won't win ball games unless there
IS good pitching and some base hits
TO go with it, They all seemed to
be guessing about their starting
pitcher today, some looking for
Grove as Connie Mack's choice and
some inclined to believe that Earn
shaw will be the starter.
look to see Earnshaw start. lie
showed himself in great form by
allowing only eight hits in his two
games, six in one and two in the
other.
Grove on Deck
That would leave Lefty Grove for
the final game of the series if it
goes down to a seventh game. Grove
has not looked good in this series,
but nobody else would get the call
over him for the final game if
Earnshaw should beat the Card
inals today.
So far the Cardinals have played
much better baseball than the AS
and have deserved the lead which
they enjoy. They are better team
than I figured they we're before the
series. Furthermore they have
taken the lead in the series with
really fine pitcher, Jesse Haines, UNI
able to pitch ball, and with their
regular third baseman, Sparky
Adams, out of the series except for
a. few innings.
Now I hear that Burleigh Grimes
may be lost to the team for the re-
mainder Of the action because of the
finger injury which he received
from Haas - hard drive which
bounced against his bare hand last
Monday.
Birds Deserve Credit
If the Cards can beat the AS
with all these handicapS then they
deserve all the more credit. 1t will
prove beyond doubt that the team
was much better than I figured it.
The idea that the American
League ball would take lot more
humping than the National has not
held up in the series. In the two
games paved at Sportsman's park
the AS scored six run and the
Cards four. This was an average
OF three runs a game for the AS
against two for the Cards. The
National League ball was in play
during those games. At Shibe park
the results were reversed, the Cards
averaging three runs per game, wit
total of ten in three contests,
while the AS scored six runs for
an average Of two per game while
using the American League ball.
It's 'How" You Hit
1t looks as if hitting depends on
how you hit it and not entirely on
what you hit.
This town surely has gone Pepper
Martin mad. Everybody you meet
wants to talk about nothing or no.
body but the player who has made
the world series a one-man show.
You can't blame them, either, be-
cause he surely has made this series
one that will be remembered long
after many another has been for
