8. Three men powerful in making the destinies of baseball sat at a table in an improvised social room of the Jefferson hotel last night and talked of the fortunes of the game. Their names never appenr in the box scores. They are figures seldom seen by the fans. To them baseball is a big business, but it is a sporting proposition, too.

They were Col. Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York Yankees; Sam Breadon, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, and John A. Heyd-ler, president of the National league.

Two football weeks have passed by, and neither Pitt nor Carnegie Tech has been forced to uncover anything out of the ordinary to win the preliminary games. Duquesne, third of the local schools, has been hard-pressed to take both of her contests, but it was no mean feat that the Dukes put over on Saturday in mastering the heavy St. Thomas aggregation at Scranton. The Tartans will have one more week with the minor college boys before starting the gruelling grind that will send them against W. Pitt, Georgetown, Notre Dame and New York university.

The Plaid is scheduled to entertain Thiel next Saturday at Forbes Field. Those who delight in comparing scores as a manner of ascertaining the comparative strength of teams will get that chance at the end of this week. The Panthers tallied 20 on Tommy Holleran's boys.

8. Chicago's Ameri American business. Sam Breadon had just seen his high-priced National league product lose three games in a row in a world series, the most profitable phase of the baseball industry. Col. Ruppert, witn reason for more pleasant mood, nevertheless faced the prospect of his Yankees winning the world series in four straight games for the second consecutive year, thereby depriving his bank roll of the additional currency accruing from an extended number of games.

LIKES TO SEE 'EM WIN. It was a diverting social chat. The fierceness of competitive spirit entered into it not at, all from either the sporting or comemrcial aspects. It was just a couple of big business men talking shop. It presented a side of the baseball picture seldom seen from the bleacher seat.

"Well," mused Col. Ruppert, "maybe the boys will make it four straight. You can't tell about ball games. If they win tomorrow, that'll show they're good ball players. I like to see them win." Col.

Ruppert did not mention the fact that if his club does win four straight games, he and the management will lose about $150,000 which would be theirs if the series went the limit.

The Yankees got a break Sunday. The Cardinals cracked under the strain for a bit, and we were in position to take advantage of it.

Nine times out of ten that play wouldnt have worked but Bob and Tony newcomers in the lineup. Carnegie's Saturday fracas was a romp, Ashland being utterly unable to give the Skibos more than a workout, and none too spirited a one at that.

One thing that stood out in the play of the Plaid was the work of Glenn Moorhead, and he showed that Eyth and all the other new backs will have plenty of work keeping him out of a regular job. It must be a pleasant sensation for a coach, however, to have two such sterling speedsters as the Bellevue boy and the Mars flash. UNMATCHED BACKFIELD.

The inquiring reporter received President Heydler's view in an aside some distance from the table. Mr. Heydler, as essential a part of a baseball commerce as the club owners, may be pardoned if his is a partisan National league viewpoint. HEYDLER SPEAKS.

So far as the Yanks are concerned, I am not sure what I will do. I may start with a walk, filling the bases. Hoyt and I may start Henry John straight games, we can't feel too bad about it, when you consider they've already tossed away two of the first three," said Mr. Heydler. The whole episode, important as it probably is, at least reveals baseball in a light which seldom appears to the public which pays its fee at the turnstiles.

It would seem that baseball, highly commercialized institution that it is, nevertheless is never quite like any other business in the world. Ruppert and Breadon, owners of the two most valuable baseball clubs pitch glanced off Forquer's shirt and Henderson was forced across the football around here these days, to direct things this Carnegie backfield can hardly be matched, at least in this district. How the young men in the line will stand up when they meet real competition is Carnegie's question mark. Tech rooters are banking upon Dreshear, Schnupp, Highber-ger and the others to come through with a bang, and if they do there is no telling how far that foolproof backfield will go behind them. As for the Panther, the beast is feeling very much better this morn-ning.

thank you. Rarely has there plate with the run which gave the Aces a 3 to 2 advantage. In their half of the ninth, back came the Fisks with Coughlin slap ping a drive past third which Ren quist held to a single. Moran's fly was impossible for Jimmy Garvey to son. Henry is a young fellow and I would like to see him get the experience of world series pitching, and he is the sort of fellow who, if he is right, would give the Cardinals all sort of trouble.

Hoyt is ready to pitch too, and anxious to wind the thing up, and if I go with Hoyt I am sure he can win but as yet I am undecided and I may not make up my mind definitely, until the boys warm up before the game. Zachary pitched a great game of ball Sunday, the sort of game that he can pitch best; a game that in the world, one a winner in the American league in six out of eight hold in right and it went for vi i 'i double, sending Coughlin to third years, the second a winner in the National league in two of the last McLaughlin fanned but Polk hoisted a sacrifice fly to Neville, to score three years, are contrasting types.

been such a vast difference between the week to week form of any club as Pitt displayed on Sept. 29 and Oct. 6. The fumbling of the Thiel game was gone against Bethany, the line was charging hard and in perfect unison, the interference was forming with rapidity and precision, and the runners had little to do but run, so well were paths cut out for them. The Bisons were a big disappointment.

They were expected to give the improving Sutherlanders some tough opposition before the Mountaineer invasion. They carried beef and had plentiful reserves. Lund and Latto, two regulars, did not start, to be sure, but there presence could hardly have made much difference. Perhaps it was just Bethany's misfortune to catch Pitt in anything but a jovial mood. Naturally there would be an eagerness to make good knows how to pitch.

Sunday he had TEMKO SWEET HURLER. Both sides were tied in the tenth as the shadows began to fall heavily over the field, and Umpire Cox called the game.

Ruppert, a true sportsman, meant it when he said he was glad to see the Yanks win, just for the sake of winning.

Make this tesi for a week-smoke cigars exclusively and you will find yourself feeling better, with no cough or throat irritation, improved nerves, increased vitality and less of that tired feeling. To really test cigars with justice to yourself and to cigars, we suggest the test be made with La Palinas. Since they are America's largest selling high grade cigar over a million a day you can smoke them, confident that they will please you. The sensational success of La Palina results from an exclusive and secret blend which combines for the first time in one cigar an extreme mildness with a rare richness of both taste and fragrance.

CONGRESS CIGAR Inci Philadelphia, Pa. AS a result of a survey, it has T. been ascertained that 90 of the principal executives of the New York Stock Exchange smoke cigars men of their standing, confronted with their daily responsibilities, must keep themselves mentally and physically fit. A cigar, while yielding the utmost enjoyment and the greatest comfort tobacco can give, neither harms the nerves nor irritates the throat. Since it is smoked for taste it is consumed slowly, each puff being enjoyed to the full.

One cigar is not lighted from the butt of another merely to satisfy habit, or harried nerves. To quote a prominent New York throat specialist: "The principal reason for throat troubles amongst smokers is the burning, drying effect of hot tobacco smoke upon the tender tissues of the throat. Cigar smoke is cool. A cigar is smoked leisurely and since no quick-burning foreign substance is used for wrapper the "breaker" across, whiffing nine Aces.

STEAM ROLLER STUFF. Ends and tackles were ruthlessly pushed out of the way by a human steam roller, and several of the Bethany boys, with all due respects to them, saw most of the game from their backs.

Gehrig of course has been our heaviest siege gun.

Lou is a great hitter and in this series he has been right in stride. He has driven in eight runs for us in three games and looms as the most dangerous man of either club in a pinch. I am proud of my club proud of the way they have played and the spirit they have shown. I am proud of my pitchers and proud of fellows like Lazzeri and the Babe who have gone out there and played great ball despite injuries that would keep less courageous chaps in bed. We will win now.

and I hope we can win in four straight. This has been a hard, tough season. I want to get it over with, and if there's any way in the world the Yankees can end it in four straight you can bet we will do it. (Copyright, 1928, Christy Walsh Syndicate.) Home. Aces i Fisk Oharas ABB.
