CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Bo McMillin,

In fact, 1t is all detail in the In
diana camp as his Hoosiers prepare
for the Big Ten Conference opener

Indiana upset Ohio State 10 to o
last year and kept the Buckeyes from
a share Of the championship. How
ever. McMillin lost eight Of the 1887
regulars and contends Indiana has
only an outside chance to win two
games-Kansas State and Purdue.
His squad is overrun with sopho-
mores, with only few lettermen as a
nucleus. And he shudders when he
reflects on the more experienced and
powerful Buckeyes. Therefore all the
detail.
He directed his squad through q long
workout on both offense and defense
yesterday. Blocking for wing backs
and ends came In for particular At
tention. He also pointed out other
defects, which showed up in Satrr-
days practice game. and has indicated
that If anything will help his boys stop

'Sore.Arm's' Choice.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-The Chicago
Cubs paid plenty for Dizzy Dean and
expected plenty Of victories in return,
but Manager Gabby Hartnett was
willing to settle for one today-the
series opener against Pittsburgh's Ma
tional League leaders.
Dean and his famous sore arm proved
a gamble for the Cubs from the start.
Today he was Hartnett's finesse to a
championship.
If he wins, the Cubs would be half
game behind the pace settlers and
Hartnett would have his highest
trumps-Clay Bryant and Bill Lee-to
play against the Bucs tomorrow and
Wednesday.
If he loses, the Cubs still would re-
tain an outside chance. 1t was merely
another gamble for Hartnett, who has
called enough turns to bring the Cubs

them in q row.

that probably will determine the 1898
race was expected to attract 10000

surprise announcement that Dean
would pitch. Charley Drake, assistant
to Owner P. K. Wrigley, boosted his
estimate to nearer 10000.
Jim Tobin was the pitching choice
Of Pirate Manager Pie Traynor, who
said I'VE don't care a whoop who Chi
cago pitches against us. We are steam
ing at our proper pace now and if we
win five of our remaining seven games
It doesn't make any difference how
many the Cubs win.
I'm going to play my three aces
Jim Tobin, Bob Klinger and Russ
Bauers-one right after the other.
We've won eight of our last 10 games
and these three have accounted for six
Of those eight. That's doing pretty
good IN my book"
Deans book was something else.
The pitcher for whom the Cubs gave
$185, 900 and three players, made his
last start August 20-against the Pi-
rates. He was knocked from the box.
After the defeat, his only one Of the
season, compared with six wins, the
standing showed the Cubs nine games
out of first.
Great Spot for Dizzy.
Since then Dean has pitched six and
two-thirds scoreless innings IN three
appearances as a relief pitcher. He
last saw action September 18.
Dizzy, whose purchase at the start of
the season was supposed to have been
"a clincher" on the pennant, has a
great competitive spirit. He has con-
troll. He like baseball, and being cast
in a dramatic role-such as the one
he had today.
And while he has been a gamble all

PLAN Of PIRATES
WEAK ON RECORD
Tobin, Today's Pick; KIinger,
Bauers Have Been Marks
for Chicago Club.
By HUGH s. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

When you 60 back into the records,
1t becomes harder than ever to figure
out what may happen in this Pirates
Cubs "pennant" series which is bound
to make all other baseball take a back
seat until it's over.
In the first place. neither has BEEN
able to gain decisive edge in 10 pre-
vious encounters this season. The
Pirates have a 1919 lead so far and
appear in bit better shape, espe-
cially where pitching is concerned, for
a tough series.
On the other hand, the records don't
prove 1t will help Pie Traynor much
to be able to shoot Jim Tobin, Bob
Klinger and Russ Bauers at the Cubs
in order. They're his aces, but in 10
starts against Chicago they have won
only three games among them and lost
five. Only Fireman" Mace Brown has
been consistently successful, being
credited with three victories in fve re-
lief appearances against the Cubs.
Hack, Demaree Help Lee.
Gabby Hartnett, after tossing his No.
l moundsman. Bill Lee, against the St.
Louis Cardinals yesterday to gain a
6-3 victory that put the Cubs only a
game and . half behind. decided to
take a chance with Dizzy Dean for
today's opener. Old Diz has faced the
BUGS twice, winning one game with a
seven-hit job and being knocked out to
lose the other.
Clay Bryant. with two wins and
one loss, and Lee, with four straight
triumphs against Pittsburgh, are due
to follow. But they'll be going in
there with only two days of rest apiece
Lee apparently didn't have to work
any too hard to beat the Cards. He
kept dozen hits we'll scattered and
never was behind. 1t was his 21st VIC
tory. Stan Hack and Frank Demaree
backed him up with three hits each.
and Demaree drove Hack In three
times.
Both Move at Fast Clip.
The winning and losing streaks of
the rivals don't prove much, either.
Since August 8, when the Bucs held
q e1a-game lead. Pittsburgh has won
only half its As kames, and Chicago
has won 30 out of ~. They've both
been going great guns more recently,
however, the Pirates taking of their
last 10 and Chicago grabbing II out
Of 20.

New York Yankees began tuning up
for the world series by conquering
the second-place Boston Red 6ox, 4-3.
