BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1930. Analysis of Five Games Shows It Is Still Anybody's Series A Are 111 Nice SDOt if And They Sa? an Elephant Never Forgets By Ed Hughes Little Colleges Welcome A Grove and EarnshaW 22 I Early-Season Coests Are Still in Condition I WWSiMsLyuk, -tip lfM I Against Bigger Teams By GEORGE C17RK1I A good deal Is being said these days about the inconsistency of sports Pharisees who on the one hand hold up their open-spread palms in shocked dismay when a prize tighter fares forth against an array of setups and on the other, see Br THOMAS HOLMES (Staff Correspondent of the Eagle.) Philadelphia, Oct. 8 Before the dawn of another day the vyorld Series of 1930. may be interred in the record books. nothing astonishing In an opening game between Harvard and the U.

S. Coast Guard team from New London. Or Yal and Maine, Army and Boston Dartmouth and Norwich, Once buried it will be frequently exhumed In the future. But the cold figures of the clash between the vaunted Athletics of this land of the living-dead and the Cardinals of St. Louis will never indicate what a close, tough struggle It has been.

For instance, the first game was anybody's ball game, won by the Athletics because three of their Ave hits ofl Burleigh Grimes were line drives between the outfielders. Game. No. 2 was the only con- Cornell and Clarkson. It reminds one of the old equation which bigger boys -used to confound us smaller boys with in school: No cat has two tails.

Therefore' one cat has three era were snobs, that Yale player) Army to Use I Primo Upset The 'Wise' Element Of Fight Racket By ED HUGHES THE law of compensation exacted its owii terrific' toll on the Madison Square Garden down Boston way last night when Jim Maloney won a 10-round decision over Primo Camera, the "Terror of the Tankers." It tails, for when you add them to-f gether you get no et plus one cat, which is certainly one cat, and two tails plus one tall, assuredly three tails. The fallacy of the equation waa carefully explained when this oae's toiling brain was introduced to algebra. But the fallacy of a comparison between a prize fighter building up a reputation for a big gate In a title bout and a football squad building itself up each, year for the time-honored climax games doesn't seem to be obvious even to some of the high-powered experts. The fighter has to get a reputation before he can get a chance tt the title, for the day Is gone when a champion traveled up and down the country side, taking on all comers.

Yale and Harvard would play each other before 80,000, no matter how punk their teams were. Indeed, no more loyal turnout of sports fans ever showed up than those who filled the Stadium to see Harvard slaughtered by Yale in 1925. They were rewarded by a 0 0 tie, but that is beside the point. One can hardly Imagine a Yankee Stadium filled to watch Max Schmellng fight an unknown pugilist. COACHING FOR PLAYS, NOT FOR SIGNALS There are a lot of other fallacies concerning football floating around.J Bob Zuppke, coach at Illinois, in his weekend syndicate article spoke of "my Frank Pershing, nephew of General Pershing, was down at Princeton, Saturday, looking over the Orange and the Black for Old Man Stagg's Chicago team.

It's a safe bet that Knox of Harvard was in the Yale Bowl at the same time. Knox is famous as being the Harvard follower who is so enthusiastic that he never sees the Crimson play until the Yale' game. He Is always scouting. A year ago I met Stanley Keck. Princeton's great tackle of Don Lourie's time, In the Baltimore stadium.

Stan was chewing an unlimited badgering telegraph operators for the lates't score from Ithaca, where Princeton was losing to Cornell, and trying to digest the announcement of the ten runs the Athletics were amassing in the eighth inning, over in Philadelphia. Keck was flanked bv a midshipman who was obligingly calling the names of the Navy players as they went into the line against Notre Dame. FcontlP? has become a sort of o-cial exchange of jokes, reminiscences, cigars and good nature. The old days of buying opponents' signals and spying through knotholes in the practice field fence passed away long avo. To be sure, a Kansas University coach a couple of years ago tried to alibi defeat by Missouri by alleging the Muleskln- ners had all his signals, but that coach wasn't at Kansas the next year, which seems somewhat significant.

NOW THEY KILL EACH OTHER WITH KINDNESS The atmosphere between the opposing teams has cleared. We no longer hear of battlea "for blood." The Princeton-Harvard break and the Army-Navy rumpus leit such a bad taste in the sports world mouth that, if anything, teams are getting just too sweet toward each other for woids. The annual Yale-Princeton game Is a regular love feast on the field between the plays. in fact, two weeks ago I saw Armstrong of Army throw Boston University's quarterback, little Marino, to the ground like a roped steer. The Cadet tackle picked himself up and then reached out hand to help Marino to his feet.

Princeton and Amherst were playing rood, hard football against each other last Saturday, but once the whistle blnw and the hall was dead, fre'--n -i-tlon, which used to scare old grads and which alarmed the World War commanders no end that Christmas Day of 1815. bloomed like a Princeton chrysanthemum. The old notion that Harvard play- was the biggest upset the ring has developed since the hitherto Invincible Jack Dempsey suffered his unexpected thrashing at Tun-ney's hands in Philadelphia four years ago, but for different reasons. Camera, whose trail of fakes and hippodromes stretches over practically the entire country, thought to be "unbeatable" because of his management's ability to "do business," ruled a 5-to-l shot to obtain the award over Maloney. Fighting shrewdly selected "divers," the ponderous Italian hadn't lost a bout In a score and more "engagements" during the last year.

were drunken swaggerers, that Princeton players were cannibalis tic, out to gobble down ears and fingers and noses, and that Penn players were beer truck driver when they weren't playing football, is as antiquated as the onside kick. LITTLE FELLOWS MUST PAY FOR LESSONS There's no reason why it shouldn't be so, since, after all, football Is- game not, as John L. Sullivan once said with an awed and admiring breath, "plain murther." Very likely something untoward will happen before the season la over that will make a monkey out of the Pollyannas of the sport, such, as I suppose, this writer is. But it will be an isolated case, not a characteristic. Meanwhile, one might ask those who compare breather games to a prize-fighters setups whether they have ever noticed that the little fellows are always charmed to serve as sacrificial goats.

They get a nice trip, have a good time, try to lose by a smaller score than was expected and learn a lot football for their own climax gam And they are becoming rambunctious. Princeton certainly wouldn't call the Amherst game a "breather." Villanova didn't precisely find Gettysburg Just a tune-up proposition. The Bullets were rough and rady and the Blue and White lost Morgan with a broken leg and Hlph-fleld with a fractured shoulder, -he Michigan Aggies knocked the brntb out of Michigan every time the Blue and Maize managed to drive dowm to their goal line. The point is that there Is no such thing as bookng really safe games for next yew schedule, for nobody can tell vfrat the other fellow's freshmen art 3-ing to send up to the varsity (h following season.

No. 4, anybody's ball game. The scored two of their three funs when Jimmy Dykes threw sn a simple play. Bob Grove had everything, yet lost. Jess Haines in two or three bad spots pulled out, nobly aided by some brilliant support from Shortstop Charley Gelbert.

Game No. 5 was anybody's ball game. Burleigh Grimes, pitching air-tight ball, was matched for seven innings by Earnshaw and for one Inning by Grove. Down the final stretch, everybody on both teanu was swinging from his hpels. It was Jimmy Foxx of the A's who was the first and the last to connect.

There you are. The Cardinals were outclassed in the second game. The As wre outclassed in the third game. Games No. 1, 4 and 5 were in which neither team showed any real measure of superiority.

Had the breaks been less evenly divided, either the A or the Cardinals might have won four out of five, and the A lead in the series is three to two chiefly because, at the end of five games, one team must naturally have the erine. FOXX DISPLAYED TALENT AS MIND READER How greatly the fates decided rhe last close contest may be gathered from Mr. Foxx's own story of his game-wrecking home run in Sportsman's Park Monday. The burly and bullet-headed Maryland farm boy says that he had made up his mind to treat himself to one healthy Ions-shoreman's cut at the first pitch before he stepped in to hit against. Grimes in the momentous ninth Inning.

"Grimes retired Simmons on the lame pitch he used to strike me out in the seventh inning," says Foxx, "and I figured that he throw that very thing at me to get me in the hole, so I just stepped and cut at the first one, determined to gamble for one strike, anvway." The features of the husky young giant of the A elated In jjrtn as he summed up the result with. "Well the ball was where I swung." to which might be added, But not for long. SEVERAL IN LINE FOR HEROES' CROWNS The spectacular home run of the gallant Foxx puts Jimmy high up in the running among the unofficial heroes" of the series. Picking out the star of the current excitement mav be prodigiously difficult. Most of the outstanding athletes have hrllliant performing pitchers.

Earnshaw pitched in two games, held the Cardinals to one run in 16 innings. Because Gabby Street has a better-balancfd pitching staff than his ancient and angular adversary.

BurlelBh Grimes. Bill Hallahan and Jes Haines hardly stand out with Earnshaw and Orove. Although he nlfhed two fine games. Grimes suffered two defeats, so he is out of the running for the "hero" crown. Hallahan.

with one brilliant shutout to his credit, tries aialn today while it Is possible that Haines will get another opportunity to distinguish himself. Outside of the pitching staff, two of the Cardinals have loomed large in the uphill fight of the National League champions. One, of course, is voung Gelbert, who has been hitting, and whose fielding has been spectacular, day In and day out. The other is Jimmy Wilson, black-browed St. Louis catcher, who made his first appearance of the series In the third game and whose glngrv presence appeared to bring the rest of the team from hark on their heels to up on their toes.

FfTTOMI.EY AND DIKKS IN SMSPRERRY TTI.E There is also an annual award f-r the outstanding World Scries rth of rasnberrv leaves. Hat each team has one out- standing candidate for this qucs tlonable distinction. The longest-horned athlete In St. Louis uniform has been Bunny Jim Bottomley, whose habitual working smile has changed to a frown, charged with self-disgust, as he does little save strike out time and again. In five games Bottomlev.

who swings In the fourth-place aleanup shot, has made one nnlin-nrevslve hit He languishes In one vt the worst alumns any reasonably r-wrt hitter ever rxpcrlrnred tn the World Series. Jimmy Dykes, third baseman the A's. Is a diimpv, round little euy. and It no outlandish ftleht cf l-ra-'na'cn to menlly irt-w him with the blaring red cutflt and long while whiskers of Santa Claui. Hi error gave the Cardinals one of the two St.

Louis victories, while a rockhead play in Monday's game might have been equally costly and enthroned Dykes beyond quibble in his position. As a matter of fact, Jimmy's disastrous error was a more mechanical one in spite of a widespread and probably successful attempt to heap carloads of odium on the Philadelphia inflelder. Chick Hafey was on second base with two out when Ray Blades rapped a bounding ball which Dykes came in and grabbed. DYKES SEEMS TO HAVE CALL IN VOTES Dykes had the ball in front of the line between second and third. Hafey came charging in with his head down, but Dykes, concentrating on fielding the ball, could not see that.

Besides, unless an inflelder has a certain play in front of him he always should play for the man going to first. At least that's what they taught when I wetit to school. Dykes took what seemed the easiest and natural course, threw to first base and threw wild. So great was the criticism heaped upon Dykes that, in Monday's game, with Gelbert on second and only one out, he became all confused when Douthlt rapped a grounder at him. This time his play was unquestionably on the runner nearest the plate.

He ran Gelbert back toward second but didn't throw the ball, although Bishop, standing on the base, was crying for it. He attempted to tag Gelbert himself and missed when Gelbert won the race to the bag. Fortunately for Dykes, the Cardinals failed to score after this excellent start. MASTER MINDS WILL GET THEIRS LATER Comparatively little criticism has been leveled at the managerial master minds of this series. Gabby Street was in the grease for falling to remove Flint Rhem for a pinch hitter in the second game, while Mr.

Mack was panned a bit for his failure to remove Grove for a pinch hitter in a late Inning of Sunday's game. Both of these moves, however, fall under the head of second guessing Mack performed a fruitless gamble the other day, however, of which you may hear later on. With two on base in the eighth inning of the Monday contest and after Earnshaw had pitched a two-hit shutout for seven Innings, he took the desperate gamble of sending Jim Moore, a raw recruit, in, to bat for Earnshaw, while having nobodv but Grove, who had pitched nine innings the day before, ready to finlf-h the paino. Grimes passed Moore and filled the bases, then got out of the hole. A'S WILL DEPEND ON GROVE AND EARNSHAW The fine spot in which the A's find themselves today would be preatly improved if Earnshaw and Grove had not been so greatly overworked.

Hack Wilson Gels Most Valuable Player Award PhllBdelphio. Oct. 8 (4) Wilson, singling left-hnndcr of the Chicago Cubs, has been voted th most valuable player of the National League bv a committee of the Baseball Writers Association of America. The election, although made by the same committee that functioned on behalf of the National League In 1929, was unofficial inasmuch as the league last year abandoned its annual custom of picking the moat valuable player afid rewarding him with $1,000. However, William L.

Veeck, president of the Chicago Cubs, announced that the Chicago club would give Wilson the 11,000.

Encroaches on Domain of N.A.A.B.P. Governing Amateurs By ARTHUR F. JONES Jr. The peculiar situation arises in bold relief on Friday night where a national championship challenge match at 18.2 balkline will take place in New York City and which will not be recognized by the amateur governing body. It will mark the start of the 900-point match between Percy N.

Collins of Chicago and T. Appleby of New York. The scene is the New York A. C. This championship is being staged under the auspices of the amateur division of the National Billiard Association of America the body which controls the professional situation in America.

Both contestants were formerly members of the Natonal Association of Amateur Billiard Players, the organization foimdcd and still recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union It Is regarded by many that the scene of this challenge match was arranged for New York as a direct demonstration of defiance to the N. A. A. B. which body removed Ed Appleby from its rolls early this year when he failed to offer his resignation after taking part In the N.

B. A. tourney held in the West. That is the only interence to be drawn, since challenge matches usually take place in the home city of the champion. Collins won the title tourney.

UNFORTUNATE MATTER There has been various times considerable talk of the two amateur billiard bodies getting together. It would be a great thing for the game If tlirX could be accomplished. And as a mutter of fact the only hitch in the amicable settling of affairs is the mr.tter of representation in the board of governors. The N. A.

A. B. P. claims the N. B.

A. wants to sew things up with so many of ts own delegates that It would be able to decide upon any mode cf procedure it desired. Officials of the N. A. A.

B. P. believe this would lend to widespread which it might. As a matter of fact some of the players who have been competing in N. B.

I might add that what must have shocked the Garden also bewildered me. Along with some thousands of others, I would have wagered anything I had that It was another pushover. for the Primo, but I doubt that my astonishment matched that of the Garden when Maloney was declared the winner. The Garden's curious certainty of a Cernera victory places It in a highly embarrassing position today, ft had publicly nominated the Primo for the big Malm! shot. Shortly before entering the ring Camera waa signed to articles calling for a bout with Younj Stribllng (as remarked In this column yesterday I.

That's how sure they were of a Camera triumph. The corporation may well perspire with trepidation and anxiety today. In publicly announcing the Camera assignment it has opened hostile relations with its ancient enemy, the New York Boxing Commission, which, as noted above, had placed a ban on the Primo. That, though, la only one of its new-found Camera burdens. Car-nera has been spoiled as a big box-office puller for Mtami, and what will become of the contract that promised juicy business is a question.

To be beaten by the oft-flat- i tened Maloney is something that Camera well be a lonj while living down If ever. Moreover. In hastily espousing the "redoubtablllty" of the Primo. the Garden served notice on Jack Sharkey that it had no Intention of using him In Miami this February. The abandoned Mr.

Sharkey can now extract quite a chuckle out of the whole business, but you can't blame the Garden for not seeing the joke. Why the Shooting?

Business first, ethics later, If necessary.

Anyhow, since when was fighting a sport, anything but a cold business proposition? At that It wasn't such bad business logic as professional fighting goes. And how cou'd any one divine the fart that the law of compensation had derided to mark the Garden for Its own? But It did, and devastating were the results to the Garden, It matched him with poor old Jimmy Maloney, and behold the agonizing outcome! Maloney, who looked a sure thing for the giant new pet of the Garden, actually trimmed the massive Italian. The trimming, though, was mostly upon the collective officials and stockholders of the wayward Garden. So Sale IN THE first place, surprising to say, the bout Itjwlf Is reported to have lost money.
