c. U. Prophets Correct.

TN defeating La Sale decisively
Catholic University more than full
filled the prophesies of foot ball critics
who declared Dutch Bergman would
put forth the greatest team in Car
dinal history. Most likely what
pleased Bergman most about the Alt
victory over an eleven that tied c. U.
last year was the performance Of his
reserves. He made many substitutions
without weakening the lineup notice
ably. He used virtually every player
on the squad and the Second-stringers
performed quite as we'll as the men
rated as regulars. 1t was due solely
to a lack of reserve strength that
Catholic University teams have lost a
number of major games in recent
years.
Next Friday night, at Pittsburgh,
c. U. will meet its second important
test, with Duquesne, always dangerous,
as its opponent.
George Washington looks for more
or less of a breathing spell against
Catawba, but will be fortified against
an upset. Little" colleges, hoped up
for a single game, have been playing
havoc with major elevens this Fall

stories Of sport. I'm giving you Chuck
Klein.
For seven years Chuck Klein was
one Of the stars of base ball. For his
first seven years his batting mark had
been .358. He was the coming Ty
Cobb" of the new era. He was the
big home-run hitter of the Phillies.
He had never dropped below 300 in
this long run. Klein, an Indiana
farmer, was picked by the experts as
a joint companion with Ruth, Cobb,
Speaker and Joe Jackson.
The Cubs paid enough for Klein's
release to finance part of Italy's ad-
vance into the mountain passes OF
Ethiopia. But in the wild 2l-game
rush Of the Cubs to a pennant, Chuck
Klein spent most Of the time on the
bench.
He was the forgotten man Of
base ball, doubled and re-
doubled.
The big. truck farmer and steel mill
worker Of Indiana, picked as a sue
ceSsor to Cobb, Ruth and Speaker, the
big boy with 1853 average for seven
years. spent most of the season scowl-
ing from the dugout. This sporting
life can lift you up. But it can drop

Fans Pleas Are Needed.

N The fourth game LlndStron1, with
minor injury, had to be dropped.
So Charlie Grimm stuck in Klein. In
the third inning Bill Herman tripled.
There were half choking noises from
the $4,000 throats Of pneumonia-rid
den Cub fans, who for three days had
been plastered in the middle of an
Eskimo Winter.
1t was now up to Klein to bring
Herman home. Klein's response was
not long outfeld fly or sharp in
field hit. It was q smashing home
run into the right-fleld bleachers that
Travelled on a line. leaving a trail Of
fire behind.
This was the big blow that broke
up the fifth battle. The forgotten
man was now in the cabinet, far
on the dole.
This big smash was all that War
neke needed until something snapped
in his right shoulder Just as he was
choking the Tigers to death.
Up to this point Warneke gave you
the impression that Mathewson gave
80 years ago against the Athletics
that he could pitch forever against
this club and never allow a run. I
can still see Matty breaking up every
form Of Athletic attack. Who can
forget Warneke turning these Tigers
into a cage for the IS innings Of
starting work he has known against
them with no one even threatening
the plate?
Warneke had the old Apache and
Sioux sign on Rowe in both starts.
The Cubs nailed the Eldorado entry
for eight hits that totaled IA bases.
They crowded Rowe from the start,
and Rowe is a slow starter. After the
third inning Rowe allowed only three
hits, but the pardon came too late.
The game was already gone. The
Tigers put on a slashing rally in the
ninth against Bill Lee, when Gehr-
niger, Goslin and Fox all nailed him
on the chin, but the rally ended when
19-year-old Cavarretta. the Cub first
baseman, dived into the right held
Evening star., 1935-10-07

What's more, he missed q huge
home run by inches in the second
game, when the hit blew foul, and
he has been robbed of couple of
doubles by the classy fielding of
Demaree, Klein and Lindstrom.
He doesn't do much talking, Geh-
ringer, even among his teammates.
He is shrewd and careful business
man. He runs string of gas stations
in Detroit. The chances are that he
never will starve, for he plays it safe
and slows the sugar away. About the
current series he has little to say.
Says Greenberg Is Missed.
WE MISS Greenberg more than
w you'd think" he commented
in the club house. Hes become a
great hitter, and his punch might have
won the fifth game today. In fact, it
would have. We had men on base
three times when his turn came in
the batting order-but he wasn't
there"
Greenberg's absence is tough on the
Tigers, of course, but Gehringers
would be far tougher.
II not the spark plug, he Is
the handspring of the Tiger
machine.
He scared the opposing pitchers.
They know there is nothing they can
throw that will bother him. He wasn't
faxed by Dean in the series last year.
Warneke is the only pitcher I've ever
seen who has the sign on Charlie,
and the chances are that, If Lon works
again this week, he will find that
Gehringer has solved him. He stores
up his knowledge. And it doesn't take
him long to learn.
Your correspondent never had the
privilege of watching Napoleon Lajoie,
but they say that Charlie Gehringer
Is the next thing to him. Every move
ment he makes on the field has grace
and rhythm in 1t. If Lajoie was a
better second basernan than this boy
he must have been the pinkest dream
of q second baseman that ever lived.

Instead, Joe's thoughts wander out

pupil and G. U. Prep star, Dick
Heekin, is playing left halfback for
Ohio State. Heekin, you see, was an
all Conference halfback in 1884 and
is being touted by Midwest observers

record which resulted in the "unoffi-

Detweiller, a 14-year-old 13o-pound
quarterback, Is the prize half-pint Of
local prep school ranks, the promising
signal-caller starting his first year on
the grid. No candidate has cinched
the fullback position yet.
The Garrett Parkers' schedule calls
for six games, four against local
schools-Friends, st. Johns, Gonzaga
and st. Adams. They will be the last
of the city's prepmen to begin active
competition, the Friends game on
October 18 being the first on their
schedule. But one contest will be

Gelrringer, Series Outstanding Player,
Makes Cubs Realize He Is Not "Yellow."
BY JOHN LARDNER

~ ETROIT. October 7.-As the
boys come back, back, back
to Michigan for the sixth
- game Of the world series,
there is little doubt in their minds
that Charlie Gehringer, the silent and
graceful German who performs at
second base for the Tigers, is the best
ball player on the two clubs
He is pressed for the place by
Warneke and by Cochrane and by
Bill Herman, but he wins. There is
no one like him for steady, sharp,
timely hitting, and no one remotely
like him for fielding that ball. He has
no batting weakness.
He can throw and run and
think on his feet.
Up till this series, there were
skeptics who held that Charles was
0 bit short on intestinal fortitude-
better known by a more graphic
word. Well, that impression has been
pretty well dispelled. Ask Freddie
Lindstrom.
