Spark Irish

ern game leaves a distinct feel
ing that the Irish will beat the
Wolverines Saturday at an Arbor.
And the suspician grows that Notre
Dame hasn't yet shot the works.
Coach Frank Leahy of Notre
Dame would be the last to admit
this, but that's Frank Leahy.
Because, actually. the Irish were
terrific against the Southerners,
and they didn't appear to be ex-
tended at all.
On the other hand, the motion
pictures and first hand reports on
Michigan's PIT win over North
western show the Wolverines ball
handling was faulty and their tim
ing off, and their regulars played
most of the game.

Mello, and Creighton Miller. What
about Johnny Lujack, the boy
who's to succeed Bertelli when Bert
goes to the Paris Island Marine
Base early in November? Well,
what Lujack did was done we'll,
but not much was seen of him.
It's hard to say whether Ryko-
vich or Mello was the more impress
sive in wading through the Georgia
Tech line after Bertelli had served
up the ball from the T formation.
Both were wildfire, and about even
on yards gained. Although Mello
scored three touchdoWns, Rykovich
certainly was a dangerous ball car
rier, too.

more He did his chores with re-
markable precision and strength
last week, and the shock of his
drives, alternated with those of
Mello and the sweeps by Miller,
was more than Georgia Tech could
handle.
Notre Danes running power,
then, is SO great that under no cir
cumstances can the Irish be accus-
ed of being on Bertelli's passing.
Yet the Italian boy IS showing off
much better this year than previ
ously.
Berteli hit on three of four aeri-
al attempts a week ago against
Pittsburgh, and after missing his
first try against Georgia Tech pro-
ceeded to connect on six straight,
three for touchdoWns. Another
time he sent lateral square to
Mello who ran Tor another score.
But the Irish could have won with

The other ST. Louis tally in the
fifth, temporarily trying the score,
started with the silliest bonehead
of all. Sanders beat out hit on
a grounder which Gordon stopped
in back of second base with a
remarkable effort.
First Baseman Etten, recruited
from the Phillies this year by the
Yanks, was enraged by the de-
cision and threw the ball on the

Yankee dugout. While Dickcy

second. He moved to third on a

The outcome of the contest was

AS far as its effect on the series
is concerned, it put the two clubs
in exactly the same situation they

night at Robert Strange Park by

League and City Softball Champ
ionship for 1943. The Guards were
lead on the attack by shortfield-
er Otis who banged out double
and a single as his mates found
Jordan for six more bingles. The
Firemen were able to garner z
bingles off Lancaster but were
unable to bunch them effectively.
Sloppy fielding on the infield spell
ed defeat for the Red Hose.
The Guards drew blood first in
the second inning as Check reach
ed first on an error, Depompolo
bunt-singled, and Welborn singled
in Check for the first run. De-
pompolo scored from third as Cole
beat out an infield hit to make
it 20.
Lancaster opened the third by
walking, stole second, went to third
on a fly by Check, and scored S
the relay from the field hit him
in the back.
The usually reliable Fireman in
field fell apart in the fourth frame
as it made four errors and allow
ed three Guard runs to cross the
platter. Only two hits were made
in the inning, and all runs were
unearned.
In the top of the sixth the Guards
added their last run as Otis walk
ed, stole second, and was doubled
home by Mobiles 18th hit of the
series.
Though trailing 10 in the last
of the sixth, the Firemen fought
back to score run to avert a
shut-out. Dave Sandlin walked,
Beasley reached first on an error,
and Harold Sandlin singled in the
only tally.
The outstanding star of the series
was Johnny Mobiles, the Guard
flashy second sacker, who lead all
players on the offensive, scored
the most runs, 6, and fielded bril-
iantly throughout the series. No.
bles collected IA hits to have a
batting average of 1858. Check
hit $3.50, Knight 1915, OTIS $50
and DeRose 1888 to lead the Guards
at bat. Harold Sandlin lead the
Firemen at bat with 1863 and was
followed by Carter Casteen with
.307, and Billiard, Beasley, Smith
tied with .250.
Figures showed that the Guards
deserved to win as they out-scor-
ed the Firemen 1918 and out-hit
them $3.50. The Guard team bat
ting average was 1888 as COM
pared to the Firemen's ,220.
The pitchers, Clyde Jordan ard

Under his plan, the interest," rate
would vary by one-half Of II per
