Greenberg May
Not Play
Today
BY JOHN C. HOFFMAN

International News Service Sports Writer
CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Having
tried everything else, the world
series today moves from tragedy
in the afternoon to the comicali-
ties of the man on the flying
trapeZe.
Reserved for the edification Of
the customers who bought tickets
at the cigar counter at any
where from a token to the price
of the Empire State Building will
be the spectacle of a pitcher who
throws from the heel of his shoe
and another who delivers from
the outside corner of third base.
In other words, we are to have
a stirring encounter between Bill
Lee, the National Leagues lead
ing pitcher, and Eden Auker,
who brings them up from the
underneath for no reason at all
except that he likes to start from
the bottom.
Meanwhile, however, there was
some speculation as to the injury
to Hank Greenberg'S hand after
he had dug up half the real estate
in the neighborhood while sliding
into home plate yesterday. Hanks
hand assumed the proportions OF
a ham from a sprain on the way
here last night, and there was a
possibility that he would not par
ticipate in today's contest.
With 20 victories and only six
defeats Lee is the ranking pitcher
in his league. Lee effects what is
known as the kicking-mule deliv-
cry. In other words, he raises his
left foot in a gesture Of dlsdaln
and then throws from behind in
a gesture of supremacy. First he
winds up, rears back with a foot
under the batter's chin and then
lets go.
It is to be Lees first attempt at
world series employment.
Auker is also an acrobatic, but
undaunted bit of the awesome
drama of baSeball'S greatest show.
It was Auker who whipped the
Cardinals last year when 1t
seemed the St. Louis team was in
a fair way to take everything ex-
cept the bat boys esteem. The
Cardinals pounded him for ten
hits, but Eden was still in there
at the finish with a 10-to-4 victory.
Mickey COchrane, the Tiger
manager, is depending on
Auker. He said: "Auker is the
type of pitcher who is tough the
first time you have to hit
against him. He ought to be
cinch against the Cubs"
But, said manager Grimm OF
the amazing Cubs:
"We've got them now. Lees
record speaks for itself. Root
wasn't himself yesterday. We
could see that after he had
pitched to White. He was over
cautious against COchrane. 1t
was just an off day for
Charley"

College Football
Season Opens
In Earnest

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-UpsetS
should be frequent tomorrow as
the 1885 college football season
gets under way in earnest.
Virtually very school in the
country will swing into action.
In a good many games, the
open style of play which has come
into great favor with numerous
coaches will prevail and the pros
poets of big scores are excellent.
In the middle west, Nebraska,
which buried Chicago last week,
will engage Iowa State and the
contest should provide an accurate
line on the true strength OF the
HuskerS.
Frank Schmidt's famed Ohio
State aggregation breaks into the
limelight against a strong Ken
lucky eleven at Columbus. Ken
lucky is no pushover and is Ger
tain to make Ohio State battle
desperately for the long end OF
the score.
Pittsburgh tackles Washington
and Jefferson in what should
prove a hard game or JOCK
Sutherland's Panthers. The lads
from washington, Pa, always put
up a stiff fight against their
Smoketown rivals.
The Princeton-P Pennsylvania bat
tie at Tigertown will be a hard
played contest. Both aggrega-
tions have been primed for this
initial meeting, the first in more
than 40 years. 1t means the
elimination of one of these great
teams from further consideration
for championship honors. Prince
ton has the edge on experience;
Penn has the advantage in
weight. The teams chances are
about equal.
Colgate should not be bothered
much by st. Lawrence. The fact
the latter gave Gil Dobie'S Cor
nellians a trimming last weekend
has not caused any concern to
Andy Kerr or his charges. They
expect 10 DeaC 81. LAWRENCE Oy
comfortable margin. Syracuse
should also open with a win over
ClarkSon.
Columbia should usher in the
Blue and White season with vic
tory over v. M. I. which did not
show anything out of the ordinary
against Tulane last Saturday.
Manhattan should win in like
manner over Brooklyn College.
N. Y. U. should open its season
with a victory. C. C. N. Y. is
picked over st. Francis. Army
looks to be at least tNee touch
downs better than William and
Mary.
Tom Hamilton's Midshipmen
should add Mercer to their vic
Tins roll. Villanova is picked to
beat Western Maryland. Temple
should triumph over Texas A
and M. Yale will not encounter
much trouble from New Hamp
shire.
Lafayette should topple over

thrower.

majestic Ruth rose gently in his
seat and caught it in his bare

And for once IN his life after
the game, instead of autographing
baseballs, he was in the Cubs
dressing room getting Freddy's
signature on the pill that came
into the press box.
The Tigers are still laying a
great store by Lady Luck because
they used their charmed black
ball to warm up between innings.

when they'll have to face him

didn't seem to cut much ice with
the Cats.
The Best Incident
A world series always presents
its laugh. Charles Grimm, the
Cub manager, has given me the
my loudeSt guffay since I
started to scout this series.
The Cubs had ended the sea-
son and were fresh from having
scored 81 victories in a row. An
office boy of the Cubs head
quarters informed Grimm
newspaperman from Ipswich
Courier wished to interview him
and was waiting in the outer
office. Grimm had only been
interviewed about At times
by feature writer's, includ-
ing sob sisters who wanted to
ask Mrs. Grimm how it felt to
be a baseball widow six months
Of the year-but he thought he
could stand one more interview
and deferred to the tank town
writer's request.
"T'm Joe Zilch from the
Ipswitch Courier, Mr.. Grimm"
the tanker said half apolOget-
ically, "and I know you are a
busy man, but I'd like to ask
you just three or four questions,
and then I'll be on my way"
Certainly" said Grimm,
''ShOOt."
The rural journalist twisted
his shabby felt hat. Moved his
feet and hands restleSSly and
with apparent embarrassment
and discomfort, cleared his
throat nine or ten times hem
ming and having a bit in be-
tween, he blurted out:
'WeII, Mr.. Grimm, how is
your team been dOing?"

and southern accent.
There are two annual sports
events Riley never misses. and
the Kentucky Derby is the other
one. Riley is publishing a
weekly in his West Virginia hi
bernating headquarters, and on
being asked how business was,
replied in the typical Wilson
draWl:

or potatoes or chickens or cab
bage, so its 7 to 5 1 won't
Starve."
Besides his weekly, Riley
maintains a farm, whereon sew
eral families of his hired hands
are sheltered under the same
roof.
A week ago early Sunday
morning he was awakened from
his slumbers by the frantic calls
of one of the dusky denizenS Of
the tenant house.
"Whadday war: SambO!" Riley
grOwled from meath his covers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Going into
the third game of the 1885 world
series, that Washington hero,
Goose Goslin, has yet to make
hit. He has been at bat Off
cially six times and managed to
go out each time.
However, he has been at bat
on two other occasions and drawn
bases on balls, one in each game,
which do not count for times at
bat. The law of averages says
that the Salem Goose is due to
hit, which bodies i'll for the Cubs.
Goose has been thrown out by
the pitcher twice at first showing
he hasn't yet started to take hold
Of the ball. And added to that
he has hit two short flies to- the

feel of the ball as it skins up
to the plate.
Stanley Hack, Cub third base
man, has been the outstanding
fielding star of both teams. His
defensive play is marvellous to
watch and wise old baseball heads
are speaking of him in the same
breath with Ossie Bluege and Pie
Traynor.
The Cubs showed a new wrinkle
to this series by warming up their
relief pitchers behind the grand
stands, but for all the good 1t did
them they might as well have left
them down town in the hotel.
Babe Ruth was still playing
right field in a world series. When

Now some of you may say the man should

who would make such q statement in an
American League town, but never did &C
count sentiment as an integral part of base
