Detroit's Infield
Packs Bat Power
Tiger Combination Considered
Superior to Either Giants
or Cardinals

New York, Sept. 27.-(R-The De-
troit infield quartet Of Greenberg,
Gehringer. Rogell and Owen may not
be able to give q mellow touch to
Sweet Adeline" under the clubhouse
shower but they can play harmonious
tunes with their bats and put up an
ironbound defense against anything
the baseball enemy has to offer.
They are four Of the main reasons
why the Tigers are we'll equipped to
tackle either the Giants or the Cardi-
mails in the forthcoming world series.
Like quartet of grenadiers they
have stood shoulder to shoulder all
season, breaking up opposing attacks
and in turn providing most Of the
ammunition for Detroit's winning
rallies.
The best proof Of this remarkably
durable infield's power is its aggre-
gate batting average of 1926. It's SUI
ficient evidence to entitle these IT,
gers to an all-around edge over
either the Giant combination of Ter
~, Critz, Ryan and Jackson or the
Cardinal cast Of Collins, Frisch, Duro-
cher and Martin.
The Detroit quartet's margin over
the Cardinals in hitting is around 80
points per man and nearer SO points
over the Giants. The clinching EVIL
dence IS that the Tiger infielders have
driven over AS runs this season as
compared to less than 800 by the Car
dinal quartet and less than 200 by the
Giant inner workers.

Discover New Thrills
In Six-Man Football

Hebron, Neb. Sept. 27.-(R-A
crowd Of about 1000 persons found
new thrills in six-nan football here
Wednesday night, as four picked high
school teams conducted the first ex-
periments in abbreviating the ma
tional sport for the needs Of small
institutions.
Both games ended in ties, but the
crowd seemed to like it, the players
enjoyed it, and the officials showed
their satisfaction by promising to
arrange more midget" games. Hal
J Bower Of Lincoln reported several
Kansas schools are planning to try
It.
Stephen Epler, assistant Beatrice,
Neb.. high school coach, father Of the
innovation, was so well pleased he
rejected Q suggestion to modify his
plans BY adding another man to each
team. Epler said the play showed
that the offense and defense are we'll
sbslanced, that the incentive to pass
Ing opens the game to make 1t easier
to follow and more spectacular, and
that injuries are minimized.
The feature game, played under
lights on . special 80 by 20 yard grid

MINNESOTA MENTOR
MOURNS SLOW START

Minneapolis, Sept. 27.-(P)-Words
spoken two years ago have gone home
to roost on the doorstep Of Bernie
Bierman in the midst Of his disap-
pointment over progress Of the Min
nesota football squad.
It was In 1882 that the 0ophers'
head man, speaking Of championship
prospects, said, 1884 may be the
year." Many sports followers are
picking Minnesota to win the Big Ten
title this season but Bierman isn't so
sure, despite what he said two years
ago.
II can't say we're going to win any
championship" he mourned Thursday.
We'll have q pretty good team, but
every other team in the conference
will be stronger just as well as We"
THE 0ophers are not as advanced
as they should be at this stage Of the
game" he added between efforts to
pump more speed into the Maroon
and Gold eleven. ''They have not
come along as fast as everyone had an
idea they would, and I must admit
that I really don't know just where I
am at because Of the lack Of oppor-
tunity to watch the new boys under
fire."

First-Game Showing
Heartens Sioux Fans

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. T.-(R-
University Of North Dakota football
players and followers are somewhat
more heartened this week because OF
the flashes Of brilliancy shown by
the fighting Sioux In their first en-
gagement of the season Friday night
against the Winnipeg All-Stars, who
succumbed 1873. Although these
flashes were abbreviated and ap-
peared only in spasmS, still the No
dak boosters are entertaining hopes
Of gradual improvement In the Uni
versitys game against Omaha Uni
versity, Friday In Memorial Stadium,
here.
Previous to the Winnipeg game,
the North Dakota fans expected lit
tie from the Sioux who had lost four
stars from the 1888 team via grad
uation, as well as q number Of prom
is.ng reserves and sopnomores who
were unable to return because Of
financial conditions. Too, the 1888
Sioux eleven had compiled the poor
est record in the last seven years,
winning three, losing five. and tieing
ore.
And where, asked University fans,
can Coach West find players to re-
place the speedy Ralph Pierce, 1888
captain and halfback who could run
the 100 yard dash in :09.8 seconds, or
the behemoth tackle, Ted Meinhover,
6 feet Z inches tall and weighing $50
pounds, or the excellent blocker, Rip
Dablow, or the agile tackle, Don
Olson. These and other perplexities
bothered the followers Is well Is the
coaching staff.
They are still q long way from be-
ing solved, but after viewing the
Sioux in action Friday night, most
gridiron fans are willing to admit
that Coach Vests proteges have pos
s:bilities. Little Walt Halverson, 40
pound halfback, filling In for his
Grafton high school team mate, Bob
Campbell, who was on the sidelines
nursing an injured knee, received
favorable comment from all angles,
largely because Of his excellent hand
ling Of punts and his brilliant 81 yard
dash off tackle for the Nodak Sec
ord touchdown.
Maybe say the fans, this little
Halverson, coupled with Campbell,
who Is only 10 pounds heavier, can
fill Pierce's shoes.
The blocking back in the Sioux
offense this year is the right half
back. which was played by Bill
Dutch" Leidholdt, who returned to
school this fall after years absence.
So adept was his interference Friday
night that even the people in the
stands, who usually have their eyes
glued on the ball carrier and thus
miss the performances Of the other
10 players, applauded him.
To replace the gigantic Meinhover,
Coach West has sophomores Butch
Gainor. 100 pounds, and Louis Chu-
mich, 2o5 pounds. At present dainor
has the edge and though compara-
lively small for . tackle. he Is one
Of the most ferocious linemen on the
squad. Both he and Chumich played
good ball against Winnipeg.
! The paSs-receiving Of Jack Char
b0nneau, quarterback, and the for
ward passing OF Irv Kupcinet, full
back. were other targets Of praise and

Triumph Over Browns
(By The Associated Press

The National League pennant issue
was put squarely up to the Cardinals
Thursday as they opened their final
four-game series against the last
place Reds while the Giants began
4 two day layoff before completing
their season against Brooklyn Satur-
lay and Sunday.
Both leaders cracked Unexpectedly
Wednesday and as a result the Cards
still were a game behind and had
just enough extra games on their
schedule to make up that difference.
They play four and New York only
Two unless the weather interferes.
It looked as if the Giants had
blown" their chance yesterday when
4 passed ball by Gus Mancuso gave
he Phillies the odd run to take their
second straight from the league lead
ars. But Waite Hoyt, the pirate We
teran, shut out the Cards, 3 to 0,
giving them only two hits, and the
rivals we're back where they started
again.
Deadlock Looms
The possibility of the first PEN
nant tie in league history doomed.
Both the Giants and Cards have been
highly successful this year against
heir finishing opponents. Brooklyn
has won only six games out of 20
from the Giants. The Cards have
won II and lost six against Cincin-
natl.
Detroit's champion Tigers gave a
convincing demonstration of power as
they walloped the White Sox twice,
IL to 10 and 10 to 3.
The Dodgers cut Boston's fourth
place margin over Pittsburgh to q
half game by trimming the Braves
to l. The Yanks, with Rookie
Charley Devens pitching, defeated
the Athletics in II frames, to 3, and
Willis Hudlin's five-hit hurting car
