BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 Q.N.SO.
Being committed to the not un-
reasonable idea that it isn't what
they did against somebody else
this year, but what they'll do
against each other next week, I'd
like to state that think the Sen
atorS will do a lot of hitting down
the third base line next week and
this is one world series that can
and even might be won and lost
on the left side of the infield. It
seems unnecessary to add that, in
a choice Of the two left sides, you
have to send in Bluege and
Cronin, of the Senators, over Jack.
son and Ryan, of the Giants.
The comparison is not neces-
sarily pointless and insipid. For
one thing, most of the Washing
ton punch is right-handed. For
another, these world series hit
ters, in spite of all the blather
about callnness and the spiritual
stamina that prevails during the
gripping encounter, are generally
keyed away up there above the
G-string.
To Test Jackson
The result is that they're liable
to be in there hitting in front
of the ball." which is ball-player
talk meaning that right-hand
hitters like Schultz, Cronin,
Bluege, Sewell and Harris will
pull lot of balls to the left side
Of the infield. It also means that
the repaint job on the knees of
Mr.. Travis jackson may have to
go for what the automobile bust
ness calls a "road test"
Until slightly more than a
year ago, Mr.. Jackson's knees
were naturally a confidential mat
ter. But they suddenly buckled
and foundered under him and
it was only recently that he was
able to play at all, with the re-
suit that they're now getting
more attention than Mistingu-
ette's.
His manager, Mr.. Terry, says
that Jackson is absolutely right"
for the series. He also says he
wouldn't have anybody else in
there. But what he means is
that he's willing to be broad
minded and take the man he
can have, Mr.. Jackson, over the
man he can't, Mr.. Johnny Yer
gez.
Burden on Giants
Anyhow, the burden in this
case will be largely on the Giant
left-side pair, for several rea-
sons not already mentioned.
The only one that really mat
ters is the character of the
Giants pitching. Schumacher and
Bell throw "sinkers";; Fitzsim-
mons, a knuckler that breaks
downward; Luque a low curve,
and Hubbell, a low screw ball.
All of these deliveries, essen
TALLY so different in operation,
have much the same effect. They
cause the ball to be hit into the
dirt, placing most of the strain
on the infield defense; in this
case, probably the left side Of
the infield defense. The left side
of the Giant infield is made up
of a juvenile who is playing his
first year in the major leagues
and a veteran who until a few
weeks ago seemed to be playing
his last.
Maybe they'll stand up through
the series. But, in a case like
this, you want surety, not con-
lecture. And maybe" never sold

BOSTON FELL
UPON STAR
HEAVILY
BY GARRETT WATERS

The record books tell many
interesting sidelights at times and
in a particular review today, one
of which is brought to attention.
This world series episode forms
a distinct parallel to the approach
ing series between the Washington
Griffmen and New York Giants
flag bearers in their respective
leagues.
Well take you now back t..
1915 when the Philadelphia Phillie4
were all hot and excited over tho
prospects of meeting the Bostor'
Red Sox in what was to be the
greatest series ever.
Phils Rated FavOrites
The Phillies, who had just wof
the National League crown, wer
heavy favorites to defeat the Ret
Sox for the championship becausi
they had a guy around by tn
name of Alexander - Alexande'
the Great, to the oldtimers.
Now, Alexander, who had WoI
in the neighborhood OF 80 games
that year, was figured to bea'
the Red Sox almost single
handed because the Sox had nc
body to match the worth Of tn
big Philadelphia righthander. S.
with this as their incentive, tn
Phillies went into the serie
highly confident of winning tb
title hands down.
But, and with a capital 3, th,
Red Sox happened to possess :,
well-balanced team that year.
even though a pitcher of Alex
ander's ability wasn't on the
roster, and threw monkey
wrench into the works by giving
not only Alexander a trimming
but the Phillies as we'll.
Jolt Old "Alex"
The result? The Phillies were
handed a terrible jolt and al
though they were not finally
beaten for the championship,
they realized that they had been
given a battle in every one of the
games played.
Right here, customers, is
where the parellel comes in. The
Giants, in the coming series,
carry super pitcher in Hubbell
just like tn. Phillies possessed
in Alexander in 1915. They also
feel that Hubbell will lead them
to a series triumph over the
Griffs just as Alexander was go
ing to lead the PhillieS against
the Red Sox.
Might Not Be Easy
But the Griffs, quite like the
Red Sox of 1915, are known to
possess a great ball club when
it comes to balance. And there's
every possible chance that history
will repeat itself this year when
Cronin and his gang finally square
off face to face after that opener
at the Polo Grounds next week.
In other words, Hubbell might
not be the Superpitcher in the
coming series, nor find it so easy
to win. Neither will his teammates
find the Griffs such a pushover
as many reports have read that
Cronin and his merry men may be.

Although he backed away in
the early rounds of his eight
round fight last night with Cary
Wright at Fort Washington,
Make Koshover had the happy
faculty of stepping out at the
right moments in a most effective
manner, and when the smoke
was cleared away, it was found
he had won the decision.
It was simply a case of too
much experience facing Wright,

BAHR IS THREAT
TOC.U. TEAM IN
INAUGURAL
"Watch Ray Bahr!"

That'll be the warning ringing
out at Brookland Saturday when
Catholic University's football team
goes into battle with LaSalle Col
lege, of Philadelphia, at Brook
land.
Captain of his eleven, a shifty
and versatile halfback and as
tricky as they come, the 1877
pound Bahr is reported to be the
spearhead of a backfield that is
smartly drilled and superbly re-
enforced with reserves.
LaSalIe Is Stronger
A sensation last year and en-
dowed with triple threat qualities,
the LaSalle leader is said to be
looming even brighter this sea-
son. Furthermore, he is flanked
by two complete sets of backs
who teamed up with him a year
ago.
Pairing off with Bahr at full
back will be another nifty ball
runner in Mark Knox. Joe Lucas,
147-pounder, plays a haltbacK,
while Hugh Gallagher performs
at fullback.
Excellent Requirements
In reserve are cracker jack re-
placements in John Gibbons,
johnny Byrne, Frank Ardito,
Mitch Kudzin, Ed Sutter and Sol
Newman.

AUDITORS REPORT
BARES SCANDAL IN
MINOT FINANCING
Improper Transfers and Alleged
illegal Payments Cited to
Commission

Minot, N. D.. Oct. 4.-(P)-A report
by special committee on auditing Of
the Minot city council, filed with and
accepted Tuesday by the council, de-
clares O. 2. Void, who has been audit
ing city records, has discovered Inn
proper transfers Of special assess
ment funds by the former city COM
mission, allegedly illegal payments OF
a considerable amount" and "a large
number Of city warrants which appear
to have been illegally issued"
The council adopted two recomnen-
dations contained in the report. One
was that "this entire matter be re-
ferred to the city attorney for such
action as he deems advisable in order
to protect the city's interests" The
other was that Void immediately
make complete and full report on
the results Of his investigation and
lay the same before the city attor-
ney."
The report discussed acts OF the
commission relative to $500. 600 is
! sue Of refunding bonds in 1929 and to
subsequent transfers Of funds. There
was a brief paragraph relative to
investigation Of the waterworks ex-
tension fund. Then followed another
paragraph dealing with city warrants
in connection with the issuance OF
which it was asserted that "a con-
siderable sum Of the city's money has
been misappropriated."
May File Claims on Bonds
In referring the matter to City At
torney v. E. Stenersen, the council
intends that he shall prepare and file
claims against the state bonding de-
partment which provided surety on
the bonds OF the members Of the now
extinct commission.
In discussing the allegedly illegal
warrants found by Void, the report
states:
In many instances they were is
sued upon claims or vouchers which
were not actually signed by the party
who appeared to be the creditor in
the claim, and in many instances the
signature which appears in the claim
is apparently q forged signature. In
many instances these warrants were
no. issued in payment for any services
or for any other consideration
It Is charged in the report that the
city commission cashed sal ,55O.18 of
special assessment warrants which al
ready had been paid and cancelled
the alleged second payment of the
warrants having been made through
Minneapolis bonding houses which
handled the 100000 funding bond is
sue. The report charges the funding
bond issue was made approximately
$4,000 larger than the amount of the
warrants which could properly be
funded by the issue.
