KLEIN has schooled more gooo
arbiters than any other man Id
history. He originated the system
of calling balls and strikes over the
catcher's shoulder nearest the bat
ter.
Long ago. before foul lines were
marked on fences, there was only
a dent to show where a ball MT
by Larry Doyle at the Polo Grounas'
and called foul by KLEIN, had land
ed.
John McGraw had a surveyor
transit and all-take a look at II
the next day. Actual measurement
proved the ball was foul by two
inches.
When Gov. John K. Tener, then
president of the National league,
suspected KLEIN might jump TO the
Federal league in 1914, he prom
ised him a substantial raise in pay
if he would stay in the National
He increased Klems annual salary
$500.
The next time Tener saw Klein,
his umpire looked glum.
Whats wrong. William?" he ask
ed.
Nothing at ali, governor" replied
KLEIN, but to me substantial is a
$1,000 word
The year KLEIN made his bow in
the Connecticut State league right
after the turn of the century, there
was quite a fuss when he tossed a
couple of local players out OF the
game in Bridgeport.
Ankling along the street that
night, he passed John L. Sullivan
seated before an adnliring throng on
a bootblack stand in front OF a
saloon.
Here comes that fresh umpire,
cracked one of the mob.
Put it there kid said Sullivan,
extending his mighty right hand.
you've got more CUTS than any
body who ever visited this town.

TODkY'S SPORT PARAD'

Notre Dame had by watching the
team in its final practice. In the
first place, there are so many Notre
Dame players. I counted up 10
sixty and quit. And they're big. Not
big like Kate Smith is big, but tall
and lean and hard and entirely
surrounded by muscles.
In the second place, they're fast.
Even the biggest ones start ike
sprinters. linemen and backs alike.
Take the tackles, for example. There
are eight good ones on hand, and
seven of them weigh between 225
and 23O. The other one, chap
named Gallagher, weighs only 2l2
pounds so his mother brln1s Im
to practice and stays to see that the
big boys don't hurt him.
The guards are a little bigger than
the tackles. the ends are slightly
larger than the guards. and as
for the fullbacks-well, they look
like scholarly percherons. Chief
among these is Milton Piepul, the
captain of the team, and a man
given to running through, not
around, objects foolhardy enough
to get in his path.
To oppose this Notre Dame team
which everyone around here admits
is far and away the best Irish one
since 1881, Georgia Tech has team
that is light, fast, smart, and bad'y
banged up. One of the biggest ano
best backs on the team. Bartlett

game. Fullback Roy Goree hasn'

Tech played the Irish to a stand

to win fairly easily. BY score, say

NEW YORK, Oct. IL CUP)-The
two best football games in the ma
ton today are scheduled for the
middle west Notre Dame VS..
Georgia Tech at South Bend head
line intersectional, and Ohio State
VS.. Northwestern, tops in confer
ence competition.
From these four undefeated clubs
will come two of the leading con-
tenders for national honors. While
Notre Dame and Ohio State are
the slight favorites they still have
to beat a pair of topnotchers
Georgia Tech boasts a better al
around eleven than the one thai
Notre Dame beas by the margin
of a field goal last year. North
western revealed powerhouse
against Syracuse last week, while
Ohio State Just managed to Skin
by Purdue with a field goal in the
final 10 seconds of play.
But this pair of headliners are
only the cream of a grade A pro-
gram from coast to coast. There
are a half dozen others to chal'
lenge them for attention.
In the all-important intersection
al grouping there is Southern Meth

took from Pitt two years ago;
power packed Fordham entertain

Holtville territory in the first quar-
ter but lost the ball both times,
once on a tumble and again when
Holtville held for downs on the

central field.
The two touchdown win gave El
Centre a record of win and loss
in league competition and inciden-
tally spoiled the loop debut OF the
Imperial Tigers who were playing
their first league game in two dec
AIDES.
Imperial rooterS were not without
cause to celebrate, however, because
the Tigers put up splendid scrap
against the smoother functioning
Spartans and had Ell Centre fans on
edge in the first quarter when I'M
perial twice drove to within Is
wards of the Ell Centro goal line.
Spartans Come Back
The Spartans, after escaping tne
first period Imperial push, came
roaring back in the second period
to score on 70 yard drive, which
was climaxed by an eight yard touch
down gallop by Warren Riedy. Fred
Robertson placekicked the extra
point.
Ell Centre added still another score
in the third period when Gene Os-
walt topped off GA yard push by
passing to Patterson in the enc
zone. Riedy placekicked the extra
point.
The Spartan mentor, Coach Raj
eigh Holt, poured substitutes onto
the field in the fourth quarter, which
saw the Ell Centro reserves threaten
the Imperial goal and vice versa.
Imperial staged brilliant drive
in the closing minutes of play that
took the hall to the Ell Centre l3
ward line where Danskin passed to
Donaldson beyond the end zone as
the game ended. The pass was ruled
incomplete.
First Break
Imperial received the first break OF
the game in the opening quarter
when Morgan fumbled on the Ell
Centro "a after an exchange or
punts. King moved ten yards to the
Ell Centro "a, Danskin made ten
but Fred Robertson ended the drive
by intercepting pass from King.

The fourth quarter was featured,

1t was hard to select outstanding
players from the two teams as all
players executed assignments in no

Reds and Tigers alike are still

ing of balls and strikes in the flrs'
world series game.
Bill KLEIN is 64, but he's still the
best umpire in baseball.
This is Klem's first world series
appearance since 1884, when Judge
Lands fined him $50 for Language
unbecoming an official in chance
meeting with Goose Goslin, then OF
the Detroit club, following their run
in in st. Louis.
KLEIN didn't believe he had the
assessment coming, and told Foro
C. Prick he would not umpire an
other inter-league engagement as
long as Lands ran the works.
I presume KLEIN finally got tireo
of passing up the $2500 fee and Sls

is in his 18th world series. No other
person has appeared in as many.

Here Is A
KiiIer-DiIter
BY DAVID JOHN SON

For the first time in the history
of Maricopa County, the Colored
Precinct Committeeman have
organized themselves into ONE
BODY; Pledging to cooperate for
the benefit of each district in the
county, and to face with combined
strength all political and civic
problems, facing the colored citi-
zens within their jurisdiction.
Isn't that a KILLER-DILLER?
In the past each precinct has
been carrying on its work separate
ly and in many cases the Commit
teemen in a single precinct would
be badly divided, all of which
makes it impossible to obtain the
best results. Of course you'll
always find a Thorn with every
Rose, or Lone-Ranger in every
Forest. In other words there is al
ways some person who will not CO.
operate with anyone, not even
himself, no matter how important
the issue may be. This is another
important step that the Colored
Citizens have made toward getting
someplace".
The meeting was held November
Is, at 1885, f. Jefferson Street in
Phoenix. And the Organization
will be known as the "MARICOPA
COUNTY PRECINCT COMMIT
TEEMEN'S CLUB.
The following officers we're elect
ed: Mrs. Alberta j. Gibson, Pres. :;
Mrs. Alice Roberts, Vice Pres.
David Lee Johnson. Secretary.
Johnnie T. Smith. assistant secre-
tary. and Mary F. Gildsmith, treas
urer.
The executive Board was named
as follows: Ada Walker. Alberta
Gibs"n, Johnnie T. Smith. M. E
Copeland, David Johnson, E
Chapelle, Alice Roberts, William
Jones and Mary F.. Gildsmith.
Let's not just stand behind these
committeeman. but let's work
with them side by side. always
keeping in mind that Together"
we stand, and divided" we fall.
