1 It was further revealed to the Mirror, that Tom McArdle has mo- | tified the Garden heads he will resign as matchmaker of the Sth Avenue emporium when Three Jay takes office as the pair have been at loggerheads for some time. It is obvious that a general house cleaning will be made when Johnston steps into office. Just whom James Jay will select to suc- ceed McArdle is problematical. A selection in all probability will be made from Jimmy Bronson, Jess McMahon or Al Weill.
 To Meet Later
 Others are also under consider ation, but no change or appoint ment will be made until Johnston submits the name of the new matchmaker to the board of direc- tors for their approval. The direc- tors. incidentally, postponed yes- terday's confab until October Is
 While neither Johnston or Will jam F. Carey, president of the Garden, could be reached, the writer learned that Carey and others affiliated with the Garden, have been propositioning Three Jay for the past few weeks in an effort to get him to accept the as- signment.
 Johnson tiped his mitt to the writer some time ago that he was offered a post at the Garden, but declined it at that time to promote at Ebbets Field, where he will offer Sharkey and Camera Mon- day night Three Jay also inti- mated that if the job was still open after the outdoor season he would consider 1t.
 On the Line
 Just what salary Johnston will receive has not been divulged. But it must be a good figure to get him to give up his idea of running opposition to the Garden this win ter at one of the local armories as we'll as at the St Nicholas Arena, though it is likely that his brother, Charley, may step in at the West 66th Street Rink.
 Carey will remain the active head of the Garden, however. Johnston will have full sway over the boxing end, Colonel John Us. Hammond will supervise hockey. It is expected that Johnston will sponsor his first show next month. following the horse show and rodeo, during which period the Garden will not house any boxing for three weeks.

Hartford High
 Set for Bristol

Hartford, October - Coach Johnny Newell yesterday shifted his Hartford High School back field again. returning Tommy Shor- tell to quarterback to replace Red" Whinnem who directed the Hilltoppers against Springfield Commerce last Saturday. The change will probably send Welch back to his halfback position team ing up with Captain Jack Gallivan with Blake holding his post at full back.
 Coach Eric Norfeldt has sched- uled a game with a tteam of Will liam Hall alumni for Friday after noon when he will test his West Siders in scrimmage before open ing their final round of practice in praperation for the Bristol game next week. Norfeldt is drill ing his line with a new charging machine which he intends to use each day.

MANHATTAN PLAYS OCLETHORPE TEAM.
 IN NIGHT CONTEST
Jaspers in Initial Flood- light Game Friday - Three Local Boys With New YOrkers-Hartnett Returns

New York, Oct 7.-Feeling that his Manhattan team must have perfection in fundamentals if it is to beat the powerful Ogelthorpe eleven in the intersectional night contest, Coach Johnny Law re- placed the customary Tuesday scrimmage with a long session of individual instruction in basic tac- tics yesterday.
 The Jasper coach took an active part in the workout. After don- ming pads and helmet, Law showed his regular linesmen in turn the fine points of offensive and de- fensive play.
 The backs were drilled on aerial defense by Assistant Coach George Shay. Improvement in this phase of the game was indicated by the way the regular quartet of Del Negro, Thomas, Ashkar and Battle was breaking up the Ogelthorpe pass plays of the freshman eleven.
 The first eleven engaged in a short dummy scrimmage against the freshman team, which used Oglethorpe plays exclusively. John- who is expected to win a place on the varsity line before the season is over, reported for practice yes- terday after weeks absence.
 Many Waterbury fans will jour ney to New York to witness this game as Bunny Christian and Tip per Conley, former Wilby gridders and Johnny Hartnett, ex-Crosby ace. will be in the Jaspers lineup. Conley hurt his shoulder in Sat urday's encounter, but will be ready for duty Friday.

SOUTH ENDS DRILL
 FOR HARTFORD II

Prompted by the requests of ar- dent followers of his South End football team, Manager Ralph Mas triano is burning up the wires these days endeavoring to set a date with Manager Henry L. Bro- phy of the Thomaston Ponies for the annual battle which will be played again this year in the Clock Town. At the current writing att tempts are being made to stage the contest on Oct 25
 The locals went through an inn pressive workout last night at Hamilton park in preparation for Sundays encounter with the Frog Hollow Echoes of Hartford at Hamilton park. With Luddy Burke, 1880 Manhattan captain, forming the nucleus of their backfield the locals are confident of tripping the Capitol City aggregation.
 Part of the receipts of Sundays game will be turned over to City Amateur league players who were injured during the past campaign.

BLUE RIBBONS IN
 WILLIMANTIC GAME

Willimantic, October ' - Willi- mantle is staging it's first major bowling match on Friday night at the Lucky Strike alleys when the All Stars of Boston and the Con- necticut Blue Ribbons meet in the final half of a ten game series. The Blue Ribbons are ahead in the singles and lives and lack only 29 pins in the doubles. Nick Tronos- Xii has 17 pin lead over Jim O'Lindy in the singles. Tn the lives the Connecticut team has a pin lead. After losing "A pin lead and falling behind 26 pins the Blue Ribbons rallied once again, and Bill Tato putting a triple strike on top of a ninth box spare was the means of giving them the lead mentioned.

SOX SOCK CUBS,
 WIN CHI TITLE

Chicago, October Donie Bush's White Sox won the city series from the Cubs yesterday af- ternoon. to 2, in the seventh and deciding game of the annual joust.
 The big inning for the Sox was the fourth when they scored six runs, knocking Bob Smith from the Cubs hurling mound. The Cubs drew first blood with a run in the first, but the Sox made it even in the second inning.
 The Cubs tried to come back in the eighth inning but were only able to make one more run. Thomas toiled throughout for the Sox. but the Cubs also used May. Sweetland and Malone. The Cubs were able to make only four hits off Thomas while the Sox were nine.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-07

With honors even at two tri- umphs apiece, these perfectly matched foemen sought to outdo each other in the game which ap- pears to be the decisive battle of the current series.
 The Athletics, paced by George Earnshaw, ace right-hander, SCOT ed a spectacular victory yesterday to pull up on even terms with Gab- by Streets fiercely fighting Card inal horde. The score was to O..
 The advantage for to-day's game at least. was all in favor of the red-shirted Cardinals. Street had the advantage of a greater selectivity in the matter of pitch CTS. Further, he has kept the As from winning two successive
 Nice Mound Work
 And. based on performances to date, it's pitching that counts. Ex- cept for the first game when hits were plenty, victories came as dt- rect results of excellent mound performances.
 The Athletics won the opening game behind the creditable- hurl- ing of Robert Moses Lefty" Grove.
 "Wild Bilr" Hallahan pitched for the Cards in the second game and let down the Athletics with three hits. The Cards won the game, 2 to O. Burleigh Grimes worked for the Cards in the third and held Philadelphia to two hits.
 Yesterday George Earnshaw. beaten by Hallahan in the second game, practically stumbled over Crimes heels for he, too, pitched a two-hitter.
 Looks Like Lefty
 Coming into the fifth game, Street is able to pitch Hallahan. fully rested after his grand victory last Friday. And, unless Street tries to be funny, he'll name this same "Wild" William.
 Mack, however, cannot pitch either of his aces. Grove pitched Monday, and Earnshaw only yes- terday. So he has to choose from the lesser lights of his staff. May be he will name "Rube" Walberg and maybe it will be Waite Hoyt, base balls bad boy. Then there are those fans who believe Mack will not choose either. If he does- mt he will have to select a pitcher from among Hank Mcdonald, a youngster with a lot of promise, Leroy Mahaffey who has had a successful season, and Eddie Rom mel, the knuckle ball artist.
 Any one of these lesser lights is fully capable of turning in a fine performance, but its one thing to have a pitcher who can be counted on. and another to have one who is at best little more than a gamble.
 Out Of Order
 Second-guess on the Cards pos abilities results in choosing young Paul Derringer, who pitched cred itable but losing ball in the first game of the current championship. That game, by the way, was Der ringers series baptism, and with the experience gained should be better in his second time out. He went in as relief pitcher in the last inning of yesterdays game, his nose in a sling after an abscess had been removed, and pitched creditably.
 Except for Pepper Martin and Charley Gelbert of the Cards, and Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics, none of the series batsmen have any records of which they can be proud. Jim Bottomley, prize bat ting "bust" of the 1890 series, has but two hits in IA turns at bat. Al Simmons, As outfielder, who led the American League in batting, has four in 16. And Chick Hafey. Cards left fielder and National champion, has a mark of 2 in 16.

 Before I go any further. let me announce in stentorian tones that this column is devoted, dedicated. pledged and presented to Mir Bot tomley, the sweetest guy on the St Louis Cardinals.
 Boys. Jim Bottom1ey could go out there to-day. strike out IT times on purpose, make IT errors, and play like he had his skull frac- tured in six places (to say noth- ing of his legs, arms and neck). and he would still be my pal.
 Bad Luck Galore!
 We know he isn't helping the St Louis Cardinals win the world series. And we know he did even less (if that is possible) in 1880.
 But Jim Bottomley had got color. He makes that first-basing job something worth watching. He knows how to wear his cap. And before you call him goat please remember that Sunny Jim" is un- lucky-powerful unlucky.
 Sunny Jim" probably is the un- luckiest man since Job, Julius Caesar on assassination day. (and Brigham Young, who had AS wives each of which trumped his aces). When Jim goes to bat, what does he get? The hardest, crookedest, meanest, hoppingest balls the pitcher can throw. And his own infiedlers take a delight in throw ing him inshoots, outshoots ,up- shoots. downshoots, sideshoots and what have you.
 Is there any wonder that the man can't hit and makes errors?

Frank kerner threw a few hand springs in an effort to knock off a strike but to no avail. . .Apothecarics Hall the Waterbury Mattress over the hurdles for two games, thanks to Hoot Carolan, who had a large night with 320. The Miker brothers put on a little song and dance number but it didn't help their score very much. Captain Na.dozzi of Chatfield & Chatfield took in the games and feels his team will grab the bunting. He might win a few games if his team were given about a 50 pin handi- cap. .Famiglietti of Tracy Bros. will bear watching. getting high single last night with 140. :.
