 New York, Oct. 7-(UP)-The 1886 World Series, in which two mighty teams not only came to grips but locked horns and waged bitter inter-city strife as well, has ended. Before we lay the memory of it away in lavender and old moth balls, let's check back over the six games and name a few first"
 Here's one mans opinions on the tops and bottoms of the series:
 The No. guy: A fellow named Jake-Jake Powell. How much would you have liked to bet before the business started that JaBey would outhit Gehrig by 163 points and DiMaggio by almost as much? But he did, and his mark of .455 was far and away the fattest aver age of the series.
 The No. 999 guy: A fellow named TraviS-TraviS Jackson. He was a great one when he had it, and he had 1t for many a year, but he had no business being out there in 1886. His figures are bad enough-a bat, ting average of 200 and three er- rors-but they don't tel half the story. He didn't put his glove on half & dozen balls that any other third baseman in either league would have knocked down. And yet they say Bill Terry is hard-heart- ed guy! Hell, Stoney'S his pal, and he played his pal. Right up to the end.
 Best pitching performance: It belongs to a losing pitcher-Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons. None of his rivals came close to turning in the performance he did in getting licked in the third game.
 The worst pitching performance: don't remember their names ex- actly, but they were Giants and stopped off here enroute from Pe- oria, in the three-eye league, to some place in the Kitty or Sally cir cult.
 Best catcher-Mancuso Best first baseman Gehrig. Best second baseman-Lazzeri. Best third base man-Rolfe. Best left fielder Powell. Best Centerfielder-Ripple. Best rightfielder-Selkirk.
 Best umpire: There ain't no such thing!
 Gamest guy: Terry. He played hard baseball for six games on 8 left leg which wasn't fit to walk around the streets on. He'll be 8 lucky if he doesn't wind up with 8 permanent limp.
 Second gamest guy: Hal Schu- macher. It took courage of the rawest, reddest sort to win the game he did.
 Best fielding play: Dick Bartell's bare-handed stop of Crosetti's burn ing grounder in the seventh inning of the final game.
 Best outfield catches: Those by acrobat Ripple in the fifth and sixth games.
 Hardest hit ball: The liner off Gehrig's bat in the fourth game which all but removed Terry's ail- ing leg, with Moore's home run in the final game close second.
 Biggest Beef: Pat Malone's, when Umpire Pfirrnan called Pats sixth pitch to T8erry in the tenth inning of the fifth game a ball.
 Biggest dope: A guy with the ini- tials H. M. who predicted (and beD the Giants would win in six games

 Milwaukee - Quite by accident Marquette University's football squad discovered sure touchdown play during practice-except that the play works to the foes advan- tage.
 A sophomore back, on receiving the ball from center, turned to give the ball to a mate on 8 spinner play.

A substitution was immediately made in the varsity backfleld.

T0AV0|D RACE
UPT0JAPAN
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
international News Service

The United States would vel
come any proposal from Japan to
prevent the danger Of a naval race
between the two countries, provid
ing such q proposal was based on
the American theory Of equality
OF security"
This was made plain today in
official quarters following discus.
sion in the japanese Diet Of the
possibility Oh Japan taking the
initiative in seeking to prevent the
danger of naval rivalry between
the two countries.
viii Not Start Race
Authoritative quarters reiter-
ated the United States had no in
tention Of starting any naval race
with Japan or any other naval
power and that if this country is
forced to build above the levels
established in the expiring Wash
ington, and London naval treaties,
1t would be only because some
other nation first exceeded those
limits,
The view prevailed that a mis-
understanding was developing in
Japan over the American naval
building program. The Japanese,
1t was feared, were being led to
believe this program represented
an uncalled for expansion of the
American navy, whereas in re-
atty it merely means replacement
OF old ships and development of
the fleet to the strength permitted
by existing treaties, a step which
Japan already has taken.
Attitude Changing
Qualification was expressed that
some sentiment appeared to be de-
veloping in Japan against chal-
Longing this country to any naval
building race.
In connection with this Govern
n1ent'S willingness to consider any
proposal to prevent such a race,
it was said it would depend on
whether the proposal involved any
disturbance of the so-called
equality Of security" theory.
