Pre-Series Figures Certain ly Backfire on Base
 ball Experts
Ry DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-It's a fav- orite pastime before the World Series to compare the rival teams position by position but oftimes the results, based largely on fielding and hitting figures, backfire
 For instance, most experts would have given the Cubs an edge at second base. The veteran Bill Her. man, best second-sacker in the senior loop, should have stood the strain of Series play better than Rookie Joe Gordon of the Yan- keeS.

Perfect Year For
 Talented Toe

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 25. = Hayward Sanford, substitute end for Alabama, last year scored ten points with his toe. He had a per- feet record with two out of two field goals tried and four out of four points after touchdown. Both his field goals last year won games for the Crimson Tide, enabling it to complete the regular season un- beaten and united.

in six runs, knocking out a homer and batting a cool 400. Herman hit measly .188 Both made two er- TOTS, but Hermans proved more costly than Gordon's.
 Apparently there wasn't a great deal to choose between Frankie Crcsetti of the Yankees and Bill Jurges of the Cubs Maybe Frank had a slight margin But Crosetti probably was the outstanding star of the post-season classic. His field ing featured the first game and his hitting clinched the second. He also started the Tanks attack in the fourth game Crosetti tied with Gordon with six runs batted ln Jurges hit ,231 and didn't bat in q run.
 DiMsg Shaded
 Red Rolfe was chosen on many all-star teams above Stanley Hack Of the Cubs But Hack was the bet ter man Hack was the batting star of the Series. His AT was higher average than that of any player who figured in all four games Rolfe hit a low .167 and made two errors.
 Joe DiMaggio, fine star during the season and ranked above any of the Cub fly-chasers, hit a poor 267, while Joe Marty and Phil Cavarretta turned in 500 and .462 figures.

Titans' Defense Record

DETROIT, Oct. 25.-University of Detroit football followers claim that the defensive record of their teams ranks with the best in the nation. Since Charles E. (Gus) Dorais be- came head coach at Detroit in 1925 the Titans have won 83, lost B and tied 6. In only nine games has the enemy scored more than two touch- downs. Five of the nine games oc- cured in Dorais' first two seasons at Detroit.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 30.-Manufac.
turers of farm equipment have en-.
Joyed relatively high volume of SHIN
ments to dealers during the early
months Of the current year, due to
the high level of the 1887 farm income,
according to Poor's Stock Reports.
Prospects for the coming months
indicate that some recession from
current levels may take place, despite
optimistic estimates from some sources
that 1888 volume will exceed last wears
levels continues the report. Gov
ernment payments to farmers under
the Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1888 will provide a cushion to the
downward trend of farm receipts, and
crop control should stabilize farm
prices around current levels, or even
eject a moderate increase However,
whether these factors will entirely
offset the recently unfavorable farm
income trend remains problematical.
Current estimates of 1888 cash
farm income from all sources indicate
q figure of $4,000, 900 900, or about
per cent under the level recorded
last year."
Competition this year is likely to
become increasingly keen, as mail or
der houses and other concerns have
entered the agricultural machinery
field in recent months. In the tractor
division. especially, competition for the
1888 farm dollar has become extremely
intensified"

A new type of bomb which when
thrown into the water beside ship
will attach itself to the hull through
strong magnets, is believed to have
been used in the explosion which
cut a large hole in the German
steamer Vancouver while steaming
along the Oakland Estuary at San
Francisco several weeks ago, it was
learned here yesterday.
Department of Justice operatives
are working with series of such
magnets as the only tangible clue
salvaged from the wreckage after
the ship was f1oated
Credence was given the magnetic
bomb theory when persons exam

vessel after it was floated found
number of small pieces of metal pol
ished on one end and painted red
on one side, and which were heavily
magnetized. They remained intact,
serving perhaps the Same purpose
as shrapnel.
Reports received here indicate that
the explosion was caused by most
powerful agent, yet unknown. Con-
ferences of Justice agents and Army
explosives authorities have failed to
determine the medium used, and the
destruction of the bomb was almost
as complete as the damage done to
the ship, with the exception of the
steel magnets. Reports received here

I LMOST UNPRECEDENTED in mllltsr,

A LMOST unprecedented in military
annals Is the story of Andre
Pierre Gales. French prisoner in a
German war camp who went home
to France to visit his dying father
while the war was still in progress.
Wounded at Suippes on February
IL, 1915. he was captured and in
termed at Wursberg, Bavaria
Early the following year Gales re-
ceived word that his father in Belves.
France, was dying and was calling
for him. He petitioned the German
authorities to grant him leave to visit
his fathers bedside.
Strange as it seems. word which
came from the Kaiser himself granted
Gales the leave he requested! Against
all military tradition, the prisoner
boarded train for Switzerland.
When he arrived at the French bor-
der and told his story. Gales was
laughed at; he was held and oues-
toned for several days before it be-
came apparent that he was telling
the truth. He went home and then
returned to prison
For the duration Of the war Gales
remained model prisoner. until his
release in 1919, three years later. Gales
has today preserved documentary
proof of his story.

Der and duplicate bridge are two Diff
ferent games. In the former, when
holding good cards, the objective in
both bidding and play is naturally
to win points. but with the least pos
sible risk. And when less fortunate
the objective is to hold losses to a
minimum. In duplicate bridge the
main object at all times is to obtain
the best score possible on a hand. al
most regardless of the risk involved.
To illustrate further l.0OO-point set
In rubber bridge is indeed a severe
loss, but in duplicate it is only bot

the next hand. Please note some
duplicate tactics that failed COM
