Dave SmukIerI

District ELeUen
Primes Its
Attack
By HARRY COSTELLO

If it's true that spectators at q
football game prefer attack to de-
fense-and such appears to be the
case-then tomorrow's Redskin.
Eagle game in Griffith Stadium
ought to please the most exacting
of fans.
Philadelphia, with everything to
gain and nothing to lose, will go
the limit in the way of attack.
Washington, with the leadership
Of the Eastern division at stake,
will uncork everything it has in
the way of an offense in order to
win this one.
Dave Smukler, whom Glenn
Scobie Pop" Warner, the odd
Fox" Of football, declares to be
"the greatest fullback I ever
coached" is the spearhead of the
Eagle attack. Dave can carry that
ball and he can forward pass, too.
BATTLES AND BAUGH
Cliff Battles-"The Gripper"-is
the spearhead of the Redskins
running attack, while "Slingin'
Sam" Baugh is the key to the Red.
skin overhead offensive.
Smukler, of course, is a standout
back. Dynamite Dave" tips the
beam at the 240-pound mark when
he's ready to take the field. With
out a stitch Of clothing to his
back, Smukler scales 229, which
is a lot of weight in any mans
league. He's a fraction of an
inch over 6 feet / inch in height.
That the Redskin mentor, Ray
Flaherty, thinks a great deal Of
Smukler's ability as a back is
proved by Flaherty's statement
regarding Dynamite Dave" OF
him, Ray has said:
TREMENDOUS DRIVE
"Smukler will give the crowd
plenty of thrills. He's a great
backbone of the very best in
the business. He's unusually
strong, has extraordinary speed

ing the ball, especially to Hew-
lit. Dave is the man we will
watch, although this chap, Nor.
tell, is dangerous, as is Keen, a
scat back, who is very apt to
get away any time in a ball
game"
Mortell, it will be remembered,
caught punt in the recent New
York Giants Philadelphia Eagles
game and ran SO yards with it
proof enough that he's dangerous.
Keen tops the Eagles in the mat
ter of average in carrying the ball.
GOING DIFFICULT
If by any chance there should
be a wet and slippery field to-
morrow-and such is not out Of
the question at this time of the
year in Washington - the Red
skins may find the going diff.
cult against the Eagles. Wash

Eagles are mudders and give their
best performances on muddy grid

WORLD SERIES.
IS LACKING IN
HERO OR COAT
BY LAYTON CARVER
International News Service Sports
Writer

NEW YORK. Oct. 9 GN.SO.
Expected to produce a new high in
drama and all-around fireworks,
the World Series of 1887 instead
will go into the records as the
drabest, least colorful playoff suf-
fered by the spectators in years,
with scarcely a hero to be found
and with goats Astounding.
Through it all, the outstanding
performer has been the aging
Tony Lazzeri, playing his sixth
World Series and setting the pace
for the Yanks as they move to-
ward a sweep of four straight
over the Giants. The finish is
expected today.
The 33-year-old Coast Italian,
who probably is playing in his last
World Series, is leading both
teams at bat with an average of
.444, the highest mark he has ever
attained in the so-called fall
classic, and, moreover, he has con-
tributed the only home run.
Jc-Jo Moore, the slender Texan,
is leading the Giants and tied for
second place among all the per-
formers with an average of 1856.
Joe DiMaggio is going along at
similar pace for the Yanks, while
Bill Dickey and George Selkirk of
the Yanks, with neat 1895, are
the only other players above 300.
GOOD ENOUGH
While the Yankees have been
more too brilliant, they have been
good enough, and it is barely pos
sible that they have cought the
doldrums from the apathetic
Giants, who are going through
ting thing more like the con-
denlned heading for the gal)ows
than like championship baseball
team hunting victory.
They are hitting .184 for their
three defeats by 8 to l, 8 to and
5 to /, and the customers have
begun to yawn with them.
In fact, the customers also have
begun to stay away with yester-
days crowd off by 10000.
The Giants have averaged ex.
actly six hits per game, the Yam.
KEGS 9 1-3, the latter compiling a
not too dismal team average of
PTS. Red Ruffing helps to bolster
that with his 500 for the single
game he appeared in.
From standpoint of pitching
the Yankees have shown a dis
tinct edge and there is hardly
any comparison between the two
clubs in fielding.
No Giant pitcher has finished,
and only one Yankee noundsman
has been removed, he being Monte
Pearson who won yesterday. He
was lifted in the ninth with two

DISAPPOINTED
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
International News Service staff
Correspondent

Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-No one
else seems to think so but Horace
Stoneham, president and owner Of
the New York Giants, still thinks
his club has an outside chance"
to win the 1887 World Series.
Stoneham, however, didn't put
any too much emphasis on the
outside chance"
IT don't mind losing" said
Stoneham today. Its the way
we've been losing that hurts.
Frankly, I'm disappointed. I
thought we we're going to win
this series with the Yanks.
THE Giants are a better ball
club than they have looked so
far in the series. Unfortunately,
they're not hitting. To make 1t
worse, some of our most depend
able players seem ratified and
confused. I'll admit, now that
we've lost three straight, that
it looks bad for us.
BAD EFFECT
Losing that first game had a
bad psychological effect on the
Giants.
But today it's Hubbell again
and maybe he'll get us
started"
Stoneham smiled as he made
this parting remark:
I'D like to see the series wind
up Tuesday night, with the
Giants the winners, 4 and g."
The sports writer's think the
series is mo contest" and that the
powerful Yankees will bring the
agony to an end today-or tomor
row at the latest. They haven't
been able to find even a flash Of
drama in it so far.
Neither has Edison S. Brewster
veteran Western Union tele
grapher, who has been tapping a
key at ball games since 1890 and
who has never missed a World
Series contest. He sends out the
play-by-play ccount to the clubs
hotels, poolrooms, bars and electric
scoreboards of the country. He has
seen many strange plays.
ONE HOME RUN
THE strangest thing about
this World Series is the fact that
only one home run has been
made" said Brewster. That was
excess baggage as Lazzeri made
it in the eighth inning of the
first game after the Yanks and
the fact you don't have to hit
ball far to get a home run into
the stands in the Polo Grounds"
Brewster once saw a player hit
two singles at one time at bat
The batter was a pinch hitter. He
made his first hit before the UNI
pire announced the substitution
and he had to bat over. Again, he
saw two successive batterS hit
singles yet neither runner reached
second and no fielder touched the
ball. The second batter's hit
struck the first man, putting him
out automatically.
The tip-off on this World Series
is that lot of sports writer's art
bemoaning the fact they are moi
