Will be play in tonight's game
against Furman? Absolutely,
friends. He'll be at his regular
guard post when the referee blows
his whistle opening play at 8
o'clock at G. w. gym.
But back to Mr.. Shirley. His
greatest characteristic is his cool
ness under fire. The steadying
type of player. One who can al
ways be looked upon to be "in
there" with the ball at the right
moment.
In High Series
He first came into prominence
two or three years ago in the
inter-high school floor series. He
played with Eastern then and was
one of the big stars of the series
in each year he appeared with
the Lincoln Parkers.
Two seasons ago he tried out
for the George washington fresh.
man court team. He made it
with little effort. Last year he
was among the candidates for
the varsity and only failed to
make the grade as regular be-
cause the Colonials boasted Of one
of the greatest teams in the his
tory Of the school. This team in
cluded such men as Ty Hertzler,
Forest Burgess, Jimmy Howell,
OTIS Zahn, Wick Parrick, Wayne
Chambers, Johnny Fenlon and
Fred Mulvey.
Just The Man
This season Coach Ted O'Leary
saw in Shirley just the performer
to hold down one of the regular
guard posts on the 1933-34 team
He gave him. every chance to ill
the bill and so far the former
Eastern High School flash has
done exactly that.
He'll be Sin there" tonight
against Furman quite the same
as he performed in his hi g h
school days as member of the
Eastern High Five-playing
cool-headed game, a flashy bit
here and there and above all,
dependable game.
That's the sort Of player Mr.
Shirley is. And his fellow team
mates know it, too.

knowing a pitcher to allow FOUR
hitters to slug that first ball.
But Gleason didn't tumble even
then, nor did anyone else. A
bad break was the concensus
opinion, with the play at the
plate a natural mistake in the
excitement.
Strategy In Field
Meanwhile "Swede" Risberg
was Scintillatingly brilliant in
the shortfield; Gandil collected
two hits, and Felsch, a magnifi-
cent fielder always, raced back
on one occasion to the deep Red
land Field wall to make one of
the most miraculous catches in
World Series history. It is in
teresting to note, though. that all
these feats were recorded AFTER
the Reds had piled up a command
ing lead.
For the rest, Dutch Ruether,
the old Flatbush favorite, was the
afternoons hero. He pounded
out two triples and a single and
pitched with the utmost skill.
Yet later in the series he was
well pounded by the White Sox.
There's an intriguing story in
connection with that late series
rally of the Sox. The gamblers,
so it goes, repudiated their bar
gain. Through the first few
games they delayed cash pay
ments to the traitors, stood them
off with promises. Thus the
situation stood when the series
reached the sixth game, with the
Reds four games to one in front.
The Rhinelanders needed only
one more victory.
Then the gamblers showed their
hands. They laughed at the men
who demanded payment, who
asked a share of the dishonest
spoils and taunted them as fol-
lows:
"Pay you? For what? Try
and collect"
The cheaters were cheated.
Gamblers in Panic
But even rats will fight when
cornered-and these traitors had
weapons with which to hit back.
Cicotte went out and pitched a
shutout. The gallant Dick Kerr
won the next day. The gamblers
were thrown into a panic. The
Sox we're really playing their
game. applying the pressure. On
the field it was being demon
strated that the Reds were out
classed; that they didn't belong
on the same field with SoX Ceam
that was trying.
So a haSty conference. The
double-croSs was crossed again
and palms crossed with green
backs. The works were in once
more. The records tell the rest.
The Reds scored six runs in the
first inning, and the Sox lost,
10 to 5.

CAROLINA AUTOS
MEET; COLLIDE
Eight Passengers Hurt in
Crash: Going To and
Coming From Fair.
Miss Viola Kinley

Two groups of tourists from North
Carolina, travelling in opposite direc-
tionS, met informally today when
their automobiles locked wheels on
Road 81, eight miles south of the
city.
All the passengers, four in each
car, were injured, but none seriously.
They were treated at Greenwood for
cuts and bruises.
Aside from the fact that both
cars were from North Carolina, the
meeting was unusual in that one
car was en- route to the worlds fair
in Chicago, while the other party
was returning.
Simpson P. Baker, %, of Kan
napoliS, N. c., driving home from
the fair, attempted to drive
around a truck as the automobile of
John H. Coble, 42, Lauenburg, N.
c., approached from the south. The
left front wheels of each car locked,
throwing the cars into a ditch.
In Bakers car were Miss Edna
Parker, 20, Miss Ruth Savage, 81,
and Mrs. Ira Lynn, so. Riding with
Coble were his wife, an aunt, Mrs.
Roberta Coble, so, and Mrs. R. E. l..

seriously, with a broken arm.
