Spearhead of the visitors attack

The Cardinals spent yesterday in

repeat the performance again today

soggy condition of the premises.
Maryland supporters were heart

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 4.-Navy, with
seven big games on It's football
schedule, feels it might find an
eighth one in the Virginia contest
slated here Saturday.
Navy appreciates the determined
effort of Virginia to reach a higher
level in football and its great chance
Of success this season, so every prep
aration is being made for the i'm
pending contest which will mark
half century of football between
sailor and Cavalier.
All five Hnemen, whose absence
from the William and Mary game
caused a drop of more than 100
pounds in the weight of the front
wall, will see service in the Virginia
contest, but Navy will miss Cliff
Lenz, the fast 200-pound back who
received a cut over an eye and
will be out for 10 days.
The forwards recovering from in
juries are Hal Hanson, left end:
Capt. AL Bergner, left tackle; Tom
McGrath, left guard; Harold Har-
wood, center, and Bex Trimble,
right guard.
Hanson, most severely injured, has
been on crutches but is expected on
the field soon. Dave Wolfe and Jim
Rowney, big reserve guards, are
expected to resume practice this
week.

down on the bench during game
or have listened to Mccarthy pass

refute that one.
Riva! Catchers Powerful.
There are a couple of other guys
on these particular World Series
clubs who usually are overlooked,
but who are as valuable and neces-
sary to a winner as having the most
runs at the end of the ninth inning.
These are the fellows who squat
out there behind home plate day
after day with a big mutt, a heavy
mask and a hot chest protector,
and the Yanks and Reds are blessed
with the best.
In Bill Dickey, the Yankees have
a tall. lanky Arkansan, who tops
any catcher in baseball. He can
pull the whole club together when
it starts to slow down into low gear.
He's good mechanical receiver and
large dose Of poison to enemy
pitchers, with a batting average
over the 800 mark and more than
100 runs knocked in to his credit.

the Nations Capital in the Eastern

tall plans for a training campaign
after being introduced yesterday to
Washington sports writer's. Macken-
zie was honored at a luncheon
given by Severine Leofaer, owner
of the Riverside Stadium. which
will house the Eagles home matches.
Coach of the Atlantic City Sea
Gulls for the last nine years, Mac
kenzie promised a top-notch sextet
for Washington-one that will have
color as well as speed and a scor-
ing punch.
Explores Canada for Talent.
Nucleus of the young squad will
be the forward line of the Atlantic
City outfit, but Mackenzie will re-
cruit the remainder of the players
in Canada. Signing and sitting
talent requires weeks of work be-
fore training even starts, and the
coach pointed out that he faces a
task Of sizable proportions in
whipping together a club for the
opening match the first week in
November.
Because the stadium is committed
to certain shows, including the auto
display and Ice Follies of 1910, the
team will play it's first four, and
possibly five, games on the road,
and Mackenzie said he could use
them to bring his squad to tip-top
condition for the home debut.
Stadium Will Seat 400.
Several exhibition matches also
will be played in Canada before
the team heads South.
Seating facilities at the stadium.
which will be improved over last
season, will care for 400 fans for
hockey, and twice that many for
boxing. Leoffler said he planned
to use mobile floor over the ice
to permit the playing of collegiate

but boxing would not be tried, If
at all, until next summer.

the boys also will be playing for the
meandering managers champion
ship of the big leagues in their
current World Series get-together.
For, in Marse Joe Mccarthy, on
the one hand, and Will McKechnie,
on the other, you have a pair Of
bosses who really get around.
Marse Joe is the only manager in
history to pilot pennant winners in
both leagues. Deacon Will is the
only guy to lead clubs in three diff
ferent cities to the big dough.
And they probably are the two
most famous examples of baseballs
nasty little habit of rewarding pen
nant- winning managers by firing
them. Both know all about that
one. Marse Joe booted the Cubs
home in % and was politely kicked
out the following year. The good
Deacon won with Pittsburgh in '25
and got the little pink slip from the
Pirates in '27. He repeated with St.
Louis in 1928 and was out of a Job

Similar In Many Ways.
They're both sitting pretty now,
however. The Yankees would as
soon sell Joe Di Maggie as move
McCarthy's big jaw out of their dug

are thinking of electing mild Mr..

Reds Won't Be Pushovers
McKechnie Insists

The Yankee blockade has been set
up again. The Reds are out to run
1t. The Cincinnati commodore thinks
he has q good chance with two such
cannoneers as Derringer and Wal
ters.
Breaking the Yankee blockade can
be done-but it's a rough ordeal. 1t
means smashing combined offense
and defense about as robust as any,
thing baseball ever has known. For
the last few years the National
League casualty list has been ter
rife. But Bill McKechnie still re-
fuses to cut his throat or take to
cyanide as new series starts.
You can't do much worse, Billy"
I suggested, than the others have
done-three games out of the last
% starts against the Yankees-a
Yankee percentage of .870 against
.130 in their last five world series
operations. which is the right word"
Mr.. McKechnie did little glover
Ing.
I'VE are not out here to make a
better showing than 130-to do as
we'll as the Giants did No tide can
run one way forever. Not unless the
moon blows up. We are not in this
series just hoping we can make a
good showing.
Reds Bound to Hustle,
McKechnie Claims
II can tell you right now the YAM
KEGS are not going to romp all over
Walters, Derringer and Thompson
and you know the part that pitch
ing plays in a short series or any
other part of baseball.
Ito hear lot of people talk you'd
think we'd barely staggered over the
line, all out of breath. That isn't
$50. This bunch 1 have feels deep
responsibility in the way of prot
tecting National League interests
This means you'll see hustling,
fighting ball club all through this
series-no matter how it ends"
On the other hand, the main
blockader, Joe Mccarthy, was long
way from being too optimistic.
This may easily be the toughest
series we've had yet" he said
This is the first time we've ever
moved out against two pitchers
good enough to win 50 ball games.
You can't win that many ball games
In one year with a sawdust arm or
a sawdust head or a sawdust heart.
We've had better average pitching
strength for pennant race, but
we'v had no two pitchers good
enough to win So games-even with
Yankee hitting to carry them along
And everybody knows the part that
two star pitchers can play in a short
series where each one can get his
full share of rest.
