Chicago, Aug. ie.-(UPl-The United @taets army, it was learned from a highly unreliable source to. day, Is keenly interested in the pos- sibiiity of Q World Series between the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs this fall.
 Army officials, 1t is reported, be- iieve that the Yankee bombing and strafing of the new and short bIeachers in Wrigley field here would provide 8 splendid opportun- ity for peace-time testing of army safety theories and equipment.
 I took 6 look at the new Cubs layout today, and there is little doubt in my mind but that the army will be needed.

 McKechnie himself says he is Sperfectly satisfied" with his pres- ent job And President Bob Quinu of the Bees says he is per- fectly satisfied" with MclSechsiie {. Which apparently settles one ques- ton, anyway ...
 Foe . guy who is new to the job, Mel ott, "Littlepcweshouse" of the Giants, is c pretty slick third-sach- CT .. His presence appears to have added . lot of pepper to the jegnts
 Speaking of the Bees and Giants, this is the day that Carl Hubbeil and Lou Fette. Boston's sensational freshman finger, hook up in htirliug duel .. It will be the first time the pair have opposed each other on the mound. ..

Reds Whipped Giants in Seventeenth When George
 Burns Doubled

August ls, 1924, st Cincinnati (Thls is the longest game played on
 any 18th day of August)
 Cincinnati and New York put on c great extra inning battle, the game being decided in the seven- teenth. when George Burns doubled with two men out, to score Eddie Roush with the run which gave Jack Hendricks Reds Q glorious vic- tory over the Giants, 8 to 2.
 The Reds trailed, 6 to 0, starting their last half of the seventh. They scored four runs in this frame, then, after holding the Giants scoreless in the eighth and ninth, they pro- ceeded to knot the score by making two runs in their half of the ninth.
 Following this, neither team cross cd the plate during the next seven extra innings. New York scored once in the first of the seventeenth, and the game seemed apparently won, but the Reds were determined and decreed otherwise when they took their final stand.
 Tom Sheehan, who came to the rescue of Carl Mays in the second inning, and pitched much sterling ball during the balance of this long voombat, opened this decisive round with a single. took second on Critzs sacrifice, third on Dauberts fly to Youngs, and scored the tying run on Roush's pinch single. Burns then settled it with his two-bagger.
 The Giants scored their run in the seventeenth (which, for a while, looked plenty large enough to win) on Keliy's single, Daubert's wide throw, Jackson's pass, and a sacri- flee fly by Snyder.

Joe Di Maggio in command, would devastate this area in short order. The casualties among the custom CTS could not help but be terrific. The army, I understand, is anxious to use this left field stand to test a new system of removing women and children from eInbattled areas.
 As I get 1t, the army's plan is this:
 The moment the first Yankee nome run" shell lands in this ter- ritory siren will sound, signaling civilians to flee to the exits. To in- sure orderly speed, each ticket sold will have the proper exit pinned on 1t in large numbers. Officers are of the opinion that between 5000 and 10000 customers can be re- moved in the time required to play one inning. If this estimate is true the Yankees probably would not have time to score more than four or five direct hits before the stand was completely evacuatel.
 Another protective measure will be the issuing of Q new type steel helmet to each purchaser of left field stand ticket. The helmets are of three-play steel and said to be capable of resisting anything but @ line drive from the bat of such six- teen-inch guns as 0ehrig, Di Mag gio, Dickey and Selkirk. The hel- mets come in all head sizes, and have been thoughtfully provided with blinkers which will prevent the Chicago fans from seeing the scoreboard.
 Army artillery "spotters" will drift over the field during the game to keep an eye on the New York guns, The "spotters" won't use observation balloons, but will 90 alot with the Chicago pitchers. The Chicago pitcher reaching the greatest height will be awarded Q sliding pad with hair from the head of one ot the Piccard boys.
 In an effort to keep the Yankees from smelling the defenseless left field stands the army plans to paint the low fence protecting it with Red Gross signs. The stands also will be equipped with field hos pital, and surgeons will be in ate tendance to treat cases of shell shock, concussiop, and gallopine disappointment. There will also be @ staff psychiatrist on hand to treat mental cases-lneaning those boys and girls who bet on the Cubs
 The army also plans to station Q propaganda writer in the press box It will be his duty to issue bulle- tins each inning falsifying the score. The bulletins, allof whicl, will have the Cubs well ahead, will be distributed among the fans ii, the hope of avoiding panic. Copyright 1887 by United press)

ROSEN HELD TO
 DRAW IN FIERY
 60 BY BAC|NSKI
Dom Garry and Adam Ko' hen of Waterbury Lose
 By Kayos Last Night

New Haven, Aug. le-Two great little fighters poured leather at one another for nine minutes in the feature bout on Dick Gray's arna- teur fight card at the White City stadium, sending $500 fans into a frenzy, as they ended up with honors all even. The boys who per- formed this feat were Able Rosen, local Jewish bantamweight, and Charlie Baginski, Springfield, Mass, the New England champion.
 Rosen was given his first real fight since arriving in this city while Baginski was sensational in his local debut. Rosen started str6ng and took the first round as he outlnaneuvered the Bay State punch- CT. Rosen rocked the visitor with left and right hooks in this round.
 Charlie came back strong in the second heat and ripped open o1e- inch cut high over Rosen's eye Baginski staggered the Jewish lad as the fans shouted for Q kayo. Able proved he could take 1t, as he finish- ed up the round, his face a bloody spectacle. The third round was a torrid one, with both fighters land. ing wnth short lefts and rights that carried plenty of steam. Haginski was slightly in front going into the stretch but Rosen's final drive even. cd the count for . well.merited draw.
 Dick Turcotte, 137, Waterbury, floored Mickey Canta, 13e, Spring. field for . count of six in the last minute of the third round, turning apparent defeat into victory. Canta furnished Turcotte with a great bat- tie, and after going down for q countof two in the first round, bat tered Turcotte with a slashing at- tack of rights to the chin in the second round. Canta was out in front until he ran into Q long left to the chin.
 Billy Perron, 160, New Britain, caught up with Emil Etters, i56, Waterbury, in the last round and slammed the Brass City Italian around enough to win @ decision.
 An unpopular decision was award- cd Henry Davis, ll9, New Britain, over Eddie Mientka, 1lo, Springfield in another fast bout. The loser won the first two rounds with Davis tak- ing the third. However, Mientka forced the fight all the way and de- spite Davis finish, he appeared enc titled to the decision.
 Tony 0illo, i4o, New Haven, sur- prised the fans and probably him- self, by punching his way to Q win over D schlosser. i46. Springfield 0illo grabbed an early lead and withshood the Bay stater's last round rally.
 Other results: Billy Towne, i46 Springfield, won . technical kaye over Adam Kohen, 145, Waterbury (O: Tommy Ciarlo, 135, Waterbury won on a technical knockout over Joey Rogers, l33, Danbury, (Rogers twisted his left knee); Patty Rogers Ii6, Danbury, defeated George Kotch, ii4, Shelton, Willie Andrews, l34, New Haven knocked out Joe Polwitzey, i35, Windsor Locks, (O; Pete Rockne, l47.

 Emil Etters, Waterbury middle weight, meets Art Peplau, New Brit ain; Tommy Tucker, Waterbury featherweight, takes on Joey Mar GUS, Windsor Locks: Sammy Nam none, Stamford, faces Henry Davis, New Britain bantamweight; Billy Kusaiha, Central Y heavyweight, goes against Joe Casey, New Haven; Kid Sal, Meriden lightweight, mixes with Chick Harris, New Britain, in other bouts already arranged.

 The outcome irked Warren on end and he was e happy boy when the rematch was arranged. He has been working hard getting in shape for the hookup and he contends that there will be no question of doubt when the hostilities are con- cluded tomorrow night.
