ANNAPOLIS, Oct. g. Undefeated
Navy and Virginia met here today in
the sixth annual game of their modern
football series and the Middies were
slight favorites to make it six in row

The Tars walloped William and

Virginia's improved showing in Navy

its supporters to hope for an upset.
Virginia's 1912 tie with v. M. I. in
the first game of the season doesn't
look so good alongside Nays four
touchdown victory last week. but the
fact that the Cavaliers held the Cadets
even when the latter were prohibitive
favorites arouses suspicion that the
1888 Virginia team isn't as weak as
indicated in preseason dope.
Virginia's chances were enhanced
somewhat by the fact that Lem Cooke

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-This can't
be called a great World Series so far
but in one respect 1t is unusual.
Any way you look at the first two
games, you see fine Italian hands
written all over them.
frankie Crosetti, shortstop Of
the Yankees, easily Is the star SO
far. His great fielding in the first
game at Chicago gave Red Rufing
a 3-to-1 victory over Bill Lee. Some
of the plays that Crosetti made
were amazing doubt II any other
shortstop in the business could have
made them. Then, in addition to
fielding well in the second game.
also won by the Yanks, Crosetti hit
the home run OF Diz Dean that
changed q 80 deficit into . 4-3
lead that never was lost.
Di Mag Good Country" Eater.
Another Yankee hero Is Joe Di
Maggie. Not that Di Maggie has
been making marvellous catches or
even hitting consistently, but that
home run he hit of Dean to clinch
the second game deserves q para
graph, even in retrospect, all by
itself. It was one of the longest
hits I've ever seen.
For the Cubs, Phil Cavarretta,
another Italian, has looked as good
as anybody with q 800 batting
average.
I have been talking to some OF
the Yankees and they tell \ story
on Di Maggie that may explain how
he gets all of his power. During
this season Joe played a game
against the Tigers in Detroit. After

with all the trimmings. Then he
got a call from some Italian friends,
who had cooked up a big pot Of
spaghetti Joe grabbed his hat and
rushed of to put that away, too, in
Guiding antipasto and minestrone
soup. To top it of, he got back to
the hotel around midnight and, just
to tide him over until morning, he
ordered couple of club sandwiches
and a quart of milk.
Tough Loss for Tigers.
Crosetti's display Of batting power
in the second game was amazing.
II it were not for the strong wind
blowing against him, Frankie would
have had three home runs. The
exhibition reminded me of the time
I was managing the Detroit Tigers
about seven years ago.
The Tigers had first crack at
Crosetti, who was playing in the
Pacific Coast League. Wish Egan,
one Of the Detroit scouts, was i'm
pressed with him. So was I. We
went to the late Frank Navin, who
was president Of the Tigers, and
asked him to buy Crosetti.
Il don't think it would be a good
buy" said Mr.. Navin. Il have
been talking with our Pacific Coast
League scout, Walt McCurdy, and
he says that Crosetti never will be
strong enough to play good. steady
baseball. McCurdy says he's
anemic and has to drink milk and
cream all the time to play at ALL"
So the Tigers didn't get Crosetti.
I wish McCurdy could have seen

Cubs Bryant Is Fast Ball
Moundsman Like Most in
American League.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Subject of
much of the hot stove oratory that
agitate this town as the world series
moves in Is Claiborne Bryant-Clay to
you and you-who Is slated for the
Cubs mound job today in the third
game.
Most National League rooters think
he is a, whiz, but won't guarantee him
against the Yanks. Bryant was better
than fair at the Polo Grounds this
year against the Giants. He chucked
two shutouts, a three-hitter and q
two-hitter.
He Is fast and contrary to rumor can
throw pretty fair curve. Ask the
Dodgers. He twisted them into knots
a couple of times.
But as one folorn National League
rooter said, Il wouldn't bet on Math-
ewson against those guys"
Monte Pearson, today's nominee to
oppose Bryant, is considered by many
the best curve baller in his league
He is an oddity on the Yankee staff.
The Rupert Rifles usually run to fast
ball pitchers. But Pearson, like the
ma aJority Of National League pitchers,
comes up with his hook in the clutch.
He is a great hand at throwing two
fast ones high inside and then break
ing his curve at the same place.
Crosetti Nipping at Record.
Frankie Crosetti is that far away
from one Of the innumerable records
attached to the series. He has taken
care of 18 fielding chances in two
games and needs only nine more to
erase the record of 26 for a 4-game
series. Just to take the jinx off that
last one, the record for seven games
is So set by Swede Risberg of the
Black Sox, in 1919.
If it gets too cold for baseball-ah
there, Mr. Barrow--the boys might put
on dummy scrimmage this afternoon.
The four umpires all have heard about
football. Uncle Charley Moran was
coach Of Centres Praying Colonels
when that upstart eleven came up and
knocked off Harvard Cal Hubbard

Va 4NdtAoiio, >|oWdiN, 0lksy ocdIs Olil-

Lou Gehrig, the old Columbia line
man, and Spud Chandler, a back at
Georgia, might lend a hand, too.
Imagine Gehrig blocking Moran!
La Guardia Apt to Smoke Pork.
1t seems there were two Mayors:
Mayor La Guardia of New York:
THE Yankees will make 1t four
straight; you watch"
Mayor Kelly of Chicago: "There'n be
five more game; you watch"
M. L.: I'm betting Mayor Kelly a
box of the best cigars against a box
of stogies that the Yanks win"
M. K: mo, I'm betting Chicago
prize porker against the cigars that
the Cubs win"
M. L.: We've got great team"
NJ K: I'VE sure have"
You don't hear any one moaning
about how baseball has been taken over
by the hitters. Right now it's the
f1elders, especially frankie Crosetti,
that attract attention. The players
say Frankie's best plays Thursday were
overlooked in the fanfare surrounding
his homer. Il never saw better plays
in my life," said Lou Gehrig. talking
