hi. Sporting W erld By JOHN A. CLUNEY
A Great Prospect

Most of the thousands who will
 take in one or more games of the
 World Series opening next week at the Yankee Stadium, ought to
 see some real inside" baseball.
 That is, those that can appreciate it when they see 1t worked out on the field before them, are sure to
 be witnesses to a real mental duel from the dugouts as wei as a phy-
 sical combat on the field. Joe Me- Carthy practically knows all there is to know about the team playing
 against him in the series for 1t was he who built that team to a point where others moved it into a chal- lenging spot for tn weorld's title.
 He can tell you if Woody English
 is adaptable to hay fever, or if
 Perc Malone has gotten rid of that
 bashful complex that he, used to carry around Lakewood Park. On the other hand, Manager Charley Grimm of the Cubs, is sure to lean heavily on Charlie O'Leary, Yam kee coach for nine years for some inside" knowledge during the series, such as how and what to
 pitch to Ruth, Lazzeri, Gehrig and
 the rest of the boys. Charley knows
 just where to have the boys hit 'em eff they can) against Frank Cro-
 setti and how to make Lazzeri pop
 up. It vii be a great series, and
 with the Tank pitchers going the
 way they have been against the As | these past few days anything can ,tI1

Charlie Grimm, playing mana ger of the Cubs, was elevated to his present role less than two months ago, and from 1926 through 1880 he was field captain under the manager he now opposes in the World Series.
 Grimm is the first manager to take over a team in August and pilot it to pennant, and Me Carthy Is the first manager to win pennant in both major leagues.
 Who Could Tell?
 This would be better story If President William Veeck hadn't dismissed Rogers Hornsby as managef of the Cubs on the night of August 2 in Philadelphia. If Hornsby had held his job and piloted the Cubs toI the pennant. the World Series would bring to- gether two bitter enemies at the helm of the contending teams. But then If Veeck hadn't dismissed Hornsby there might not have been any World Series in Chicago.
 Instead of a grudge battle be- tween Mccarthy and Hornsby, the managerial rivalry is between two steadfast friends. Under McCarthy's regime at Chicago, Grimm was one of his most loyal players.
 Because of his. bitter disappoint- ment in the 1929 World Series, Mccarthy is doubly anxious to pilot the Yankees to the world championship. It was the tragic collapse of the Cubs in that series against the athletics which event. ually led to McCarthy's dismissal by the late William Wrigley, Jr. Mccarthy has proved himself a great manager during his years in the majors. He took the Cubs over in 1926 after they had finish ed last the previous season, and piloted them to fourth place. He laid the groundwork for the present team. He has never had a team to finish out of first divis- ion. Specialist.
 McCarthys greatest talent is perhaps as @ developer of pitchers. He brought out Bush, Root and Malone when he was with the Cubs. In his two years in the Yankees he has converted Gomez and Allen into two of the finest

Vernon Lefty" Gomez, ace of the New York moundsmen. was blasted off the hill by the Athletics in three innings yesterday, and on Wednesday Charley Ruffing was humbled by the As rookie finger, Sugar" Cain.
 Tanks Come Through
 Although Gomez was sent to the showers yesterday, the Yankees took a 1O-inning decision, 8 to z. Jimmy Foxx drove out his 55th and 56th home runs for Philadel- phia. Eric McNair also made a circuit clout for Philadelphia, and Lou Gehrig and Myril Hoag did likewise for New York.
 The Tanks won in the 10th. Sam Byrd singled, and successive walks by Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri filled the bases. Then Byrd scamp ! cred home with the winning tally on Jorgen's grounder.
 This defeat cut the Athletics lead over the ird-place Washing ton Senators to two games as the Senators downed Boston, 4 to 2. Alvin Crowder limited Boston to four hits.
 Chicago at Detroit was washed out.
 FOOlin' Around
 Chicago's Cubs, champions of the National League, were blanked, ' to O, when Harold Smith of the Pittsburg Pirates limited Chicago's second string lineup to six hits. Paul Waner drove out his 59th two-bagger of the season, tying Chuck K!ein's National League re- cord.
 The St Louis Cardinals took un- disputed possession of sixth place by beating the Cincinnati Reds, 8 to 5, while the New York Giants dropped to seventh position when beaten by Brooklyn, to 2.
 They were the only gamesssched- : uled.

COlOred Elks to

Meriden, Sept 23.-Harry Rath- burns South Meriden A. C. will play two tough games over the coming weekend in one of which it will be seeking revenge for a recent setback.
 That defeat came at the hands of the Waterbury Colored Elks by a 9-5 score at the Lewis avenue field last Sunday, but Manager Rath- burn is confident his charges can reverse the decision in their next meeting, which is to take place at Waterbury on Sunday.

Buffalo Means Battlers

Young Steve Halaiko's five round knockout of Eddie Rawson in Boston last night. showed that the boy from Jimmy Slattery's home town will soon have to be reckoned with as a contender for Tony Canzoneri's lightweight title. It seems Buffalo is an incubator for top-notch ringmen. Though Slattery is all done, he was a great boy in his day. Along came George Nichols to keep the name of the city on top of the boxing world by winning the NBA light heavyweight title. Then there was Rocky Kansas, great lightweight of Benny Leonard's day. And now Haliako. What do they feed 'em up there?

Christian, Hartnett and
 Conley, Jasper Stars, to Play Against Eonefgan,
 Pilla and Fryer To-rnor.

New York, Sept 23-The distrib- ution of game equipment to the Manhattan football squad at the conclusion of yesterdays two-hour workout on Manhattan Field marked the end of the Jaspers' strenuous preparations for their opening encounter with St Bona ventures College on Saturday. A brief rehearsal of signals in the only work Chick Meehan will give the Green eleven today.
 New Uniforms
 Captain Brendan Pete" Battle drew the distinctive "1" jersey, and Bin Pendergast, offensive ace of the Jaspers, will wear a conspicu- ou1 "22" on/the back of his shirt. The new Manhattan uniforms will have white trimming on Kelly Green jerseys and stockings. Snowy white helmets and light colored brown pants will complete the out fit.
 A brief line scrimmage featured the Manhattan practice yesterday. The first and second Jasper for ward walls were sent through a rehearsal of their plays against a third line that used the upright Notre Dame defensive stance that St Bonaventure will employ.
 Tippcr Conley at Tackle
 The 17O-pound first line that Meehan plans to send against the Brown Indians showed the speed and aggressiveness that he hopes will offset the fifteen pound aver- age advantage the St .Bonaventure forwards will enjoy. Jack sullivan and Win Liberto, ends; Bill Conley and Jack Boylan, tackles; Dick Ciccolella and Ed Ashkar, guards: and Jack Hiemenz, center, made up this combination. The second line also showed marked improve ment.

Farrell played under the non- de- plume of Mike Freddino, a St Raphael substi- tute player. Inasmuch as the series is of an unofficial nature. ho action on the incident will be forthcoming. The series was arranged without the filing of official rosters, thereby making Farrell eligible to play. The third game will be played Sum- day afternoon at Washington Park at 4 o'clock.

"Butsy" Makes the Grade

No more will the boys around the Wooster Bowling alleys kid that bewhiskered man about town, Butsy COsmo, about his ability as a bowler. Last night. it was Butsy who saved their dough for them with a brilliant 149 that won two out of three for the locals, enabling them to even their series with the Dam bury Hatters. The Sena selcc- tion lost the first game by pin but won the next two, by con- yinciny margins.

Note From Newington

The gallant comeback of Miss Bernice Wal lof Oshkosh, WiscoH- sin, yesterday, not only ind dicates the uncertainty of golf, but the fact that you can be a champ one minute and a chump the next. Four down at the end of nine holes, you can imagine the task that confronted Miss Wall in her match with the medalist of the Canadian women's national tourna- ment, Mrs Alex Gold. but, fighter that she is, came through the last nine with a brand of golf that won the match for her and brought her a thn Snpni -6nalc

Championship Stuff

Angelo Rossi, (Bobby Kelly to you) Is just as hot after what's going on in the old home town as he ever was despite the fact that he just dropped decision to Kid Carbuncle. The prospect of lying in bed and getting the World Series play over the radio is not too discOuraging for him, but he says the burden could be made even lighter by word from Waterbury now and then during the next two weeks. In a clfnch with Kid Carbuncle for 4S hours, Bobby was finally dropped on a table and it was all over before he could count ten.

 If Mccarthy knows all about the Cubs, Grimm has a right hand man who knows all about the Yankees. He is Charlie O'Leary, nine years a Yankee coach, who moved when Mccarthy went to pitch to lem. 4<
 Popularity.
 Grimm's remarkable success in his brief managerial experience is largely the result of his popularity with his players. When he suc- ceeded Hornsby, he merely went about his duties as if he were still field captain. He probably has had more success with less effort than any manager who ever hand led a championship team.

The greatest reduction is in
Anne Arundel county, where the
levy has been cut from $2.45 to
SLIT per 500. The reduction was
made possible largely through
pay reductions in official jobs.
Baltimore county, the Wealth.

from SITS to $3.50. This county
will levy cents for unemploy-
ment relief.
In Hartford county the rate was

David Lloyd George, wartime
prime minister of Great Britain,
today replied to the warning of
viscount Hailsham, secretary for
war, that any former cabinet
member revealing official secrets
would be liable to two years i'm
priSonment.
Lord Hailsham'S warning was
delivered in the House of Lords
as the result of a controversy
between Lloyd George and Sir
Robert Horne, former chancellor
of the exchequer, who publicly
disagreed over the Interpretation
of a cabinet instruction issued to
Stanley Baldwin during the war
debt negotiations with the United
States in 1922.
Lloyd George said: .......
'If / am sent to Jail I'll be
sent in the company of Sir Rob
ert Horne. He and I might
spend a merry Christmas there.
Two or three members Of the
present government might have
to go also, as there has been
no end of disclosures Of cabi-
net secrets"
Lloyd Georges jocular reference
to Lord HailSharn'S warning was
