WORLD'S TITLE TO COME AFTER FIGHT Senators and Pirates Have Their Back to the Wall; Choice of Pitchers Is One Big Question Br JOHN B. FOSTER Special Leased Wire to Harrisowg Telegraph, Copyright. rittaburah, Oct. 14. The great day for the final of the greatest dope upseeting World Series for many a year aawnea over Plttsburgn this morning as clear to skies as the Smoky City's atmosphere permits, but with deep, murky problems facing the managers of Flrate and Deepest of all was that of the twlrlers.

Imag JOHJI B. FOSTER ne, If you can, this situation: Both teams had their backs to the wall. i Only one Washington twlrler, Walter Johnson, the In comparable, has been able to dazzle the Pirates. The Big Train has worked two hard games. He may be tried.

Yet, this morning it' seemed Harris had no ntlAM nhnln rt A mnet bfant Vi I 1 i UU1U BIIU IIIUV 1CC fa 111 111 critical game, a fitting climax to the record of this wonderful man of baseball If he wins it. McKechnie Choice McKechnle had no one in sight of great value except Morrison a.ntl Oldham. Alridge did not seem physically strong enough to pitch another game after his successful contest in Washington Monday. The Pittsburgh manager' has been rather reluctant to start Morrison in a game, yet it seemed likely he would have to go in, for he has a beautiful curve ball and the Senators arenot over fond of a right hand twirler with a good curve. Before to day's game, the series stod exactly as it did in 1924 when Washington played New York, 3 and 3.

And it was a wonderful comeback for those slow starters, the Pirates. Manager Harris found himself in a. peculiar position when lie got! back to Pittsburgh. Tuesday. Stach nxy, on Monday, showed he was not lit for the World Series this year.

It was out of the question to use ltuether. Coveleskl had made a Hub of both games he had pitched, and besides, had pitched the day before. So Harris had to fall back on Ferguson. This young man pitched very good baseball. For a kid In the World Series he has shown splendid ability.

He was matched against another World Series kid, but an older pitcher in years. Had Pittsburgh not won, it would be almost impossible to tell whether Ferguson or Kremer was the better of the two, 1 pf KEEPING IN TOUCH By DICK LUTZ Will Be Battle Royal Gattysburg is looking forth to Its contest with pickinson this year as a "battle royal." This is apparent among followers of both institutions in. this district, accepting the present pace of the two elevens as a criterion. Bobby Books, the former Har risburg Tech star, who was a big factor in Gettysburg's defeat by Dickinson last season, Is in the Carlisle backfleld again this year, and his work against Villanova is an indication that he still proves a big threat. Tuckey, also an ex Tech High athlete, is a backfleld man on the Gettysburg squad.

The game is scheduled to be played on the Island grounds in Harrisburg on November 77 when Tech plays Jn Greemsburg. Will See Indians Play There will be several hundred persons from Harrisburg and direct vicinity in the stands at Lewisburg Saturday for' the Buck nell Haskell Indian fray. Among these will be several admirers of John Lev, outfielder with the Harrisburg NY baseball club this past season, and a brother of George Levi; who is captain of the Haskell grid, team. John Levi was a factor in the Haskell lineup the last three years. George Levi is known as the "Swift Antelope." He is an Ara phoe from Oklahoma.

six foot, five inch lineman, weighs 230 and is known as "Little Bald Faced Boy." Other names on the Indian squad are: E. Smith, "Swift Deer," 'Oneida tribe, Wisconsin, halfback; J. V'Otipoby, "Two Hatchets, Comanche tribe, Oklahoma, halfback; A. Hawley, "Sleeping Bull," Gros Ventre tribe, Montana, center; L. Colby, VTakes the Gun," Klamath tribe, Oregon, fullback; T.

Stldham, "Red Creek tribe' of Oklahoma, tackle; E. Ward, "Fire Starter," Yakima tribe, Washington, quarterback. BeU Hit at .287 Lester Bell, Harrisburg's only representative In the major leagues, hit the ball at a .287 clip during his first year in the upper circles. Bell returned to his home here several days ago, accompanied by his wife, and will probably spend the winter months in this city. BeU figured in 15 games during the season, the total number the St.

Louis Cardinals He did not miss a contest. Nearly all of his work was at third base. He was a bat SSI times, and connected safely 17 scoring 79 runs. His clouting heavy, he hitting eleven home runs, in addition to quite a few doubles and trlolaa. Four Kremer'i Experience Kremer has had a queer sort of an experience In baseball.

Some years ago he belonged to the Giants. He reported to the team at Marlln, Texas, and was 111 almost from the time of his arrival. He had made, a good showing before he joined the New York team, but his Illness was! so severe it was deemed best to let him go. He drifted to the coast and made good during several years. Finally Pittsburgh took him away from Oakland, and brought him East.

Kremer pitched one of the best back to the wall games for Pittsburgh Tuesday, that has been pitched since the World Series began. It was win or lose all. To give a quick and comprehensive glance of what he did, look at his In the first inning, with two out Goslln bated a homerun Into the right field stand. Then the next player went out. In the second inning Judge began with a base hit to rightfleld and was forced out at second on Bluege's sacrifice.

Peckinpaugh doubled to right and Bluege scored. That made two runs, but thereafter, throughout the remainder of the game, only twenty four batters faced him. Peck in Trouble Pittsburgh did no begin to score until the third and poor Peckinpaugh, who' has been the goat this series for Washington, Into trouble again. Moore started the inning with a base on balls. I'arey hit the ball to Peckinpaugh and 'the hard luck shortstop, in hurrying to' make a play at second, forgot to touch the bag, and two men were on bases.

Cuyler sacrificed, moving up both runners. Barnhart was thrown out by Bluege, scoring a run, and Pie Traynor, who Is the livestswlre of the Pirates, batted saffely' Carey scored. Now comes the odd part of It all. This young man Moore, who has not been a very striking figure In this particular series, caught the ball, in the center his bat and hit it into leftfield stand for a homer that won the game. Only twenty four hours before the Pittsburgh fans, who have been panning Moore for a long time, wanted him thrown out of the series.

Joe Harris' went three times to bat Tuesday without making a hit, but In the ninth inning, when everything meanly go much to Washington, he doubled to center field with only one out. It was a brave strike for victory, but mounfully enough for the Senators, Judge filed to Carey and Bluege was thrown out at first by Pie Traynor. bases were the results his efforts in this lfhe on the path. Bottomley the only other Cardinal player to take part in every league game. He hit at .367, and "was second to the National League hitting leader, Rogers Hornsby, aJso of St.

Louis, who batted .403 in 138 games. Wrightstone a Leader Russel 'Wrightstone, the Le moyne athlete who figured In 'a number of positions in the Philadelphia National League club lineup during the past season, finished in thirteenth position In batting, with an average of .339 in 93 games. He slammed out '14 homeruns, and had a total bf 98 safe hits in 289 times' to bat. He tallied 48 runs. Leach, the former Harrisburg NY League outfielder, who was recalled by the Phillies from Beaumont of the Texas League this summer, hatted at .312 in the 65 games he got Into for the Fletcherites.

He had 91 hits, Including five homers, in 292 times at bat, and he score 48 runs, the same total as Wrightstone. Heathcote Had Slump Heathcote, the York county player with the Chicago Cubs, had a batting average of .261, quite a slip from last season. He played in '109 games, and had 99 safeties in 379 times at bat. He maintained his speed on the bases, with fifteen pilfered sacks, scoring 57 runs. NFive of these were homers.

"Lefty'' Sherdel, Hanover, York county, hurler with the St. Louis National League club, had a better percentage In hurling this season than Vance, of Brooklyn, but did not participate in as many games. In 22 contests, Sherdel won and lost but six, for a percentage of .727. He completed 18 contests, and scored 'three shutouts. Vance won 22, lost nine, finished 26, and had four shutouts.

His mark was .710. Army Game on Radio Among the large collegiate football contests booked for this coming Saturday to be broadcast over the radio, play play, will be the Army Notre Dame fray.

WHO IS TO BLAME FOR CANCELLATION OF GRID CONTEST? Who canceled the game between Mechanicsburg High and New Cumberland High? This is a question being asked In every town along the West Shore. The battle was scheduled for Saturday, and in spite of the cancellation reports may be played. Notice was given yesterday from Mechanicsburg that the game had been canceled, and it was stated that Now Cumberland did not want to play. The reason given was that two players on the New Cumberland team would not be eligible.

Now comes the denial from New Cumberland, and officials are trying to put the blame for cancellation where It belongs. New Cumberland Is not a member of the Pennsylvania Inter scholastic Athletic Association, but Mechanicsburg High Is. New Cumberland has the right to play their team, but it is claimed from Mechanicsburg that to play New Cumberland with ineligible players would mean a penalty for Mechanicsburg. Is also that Mechanicsburg has two ineligible players, one who is over 21 years of age. I.

W. Zeigler, principal, said New Cumberland is anxious to play, that more than 500 tickets had been sold for the game, and that all arrangements' had been made for the meeting. While the controversy still rages as to who canceled, New Cumberland continues to hope that the game will be played.

lafayettFworks on field goals; to meet colgate Knslon, Oct. 14. The possibility that Lafayette, may have to resort to field goal kicking to defeat Colgate on Franklin Field Saturday, 6aused Lafayette coaches to give special attention to Maroon kicking possibilities in to day's practice session. This method of point scoring is the Maroon's weakest offensive threat. Liz Ford, right end, has been reasonably successful In garnering points from touchdowns by the place kicking method, but whether he can score consistently from farther out on the field is a question.

Charley Berry, now graduated, handled this department of the game last season. Frank Kirkleskl, left halfback, has some ability as a drop kicker, as do Frank, Grube, left and Dinty Moore, who alternates with Rabe Marsh at quarterback. But none of theje is sufficiently accurate to make this, a point of particular offensive strength. STATE HIGT HAS OPEN DATES Due to last minute cancellations, the State College High School football team is without home games for the weekend of October 24 and the, weekend of Nov.ember 7.

Even fhough Penn State Jost Georgia Tech In Ne.WvYork last Saturday, the Nlttany Lions showed flashes of strength that surprised their followers, and there la no down hearted feeling in the blue and white camp over the loss of this early season game.

Penn State gives credit to Georgia Tech's fine second half rally and to their powerful backfleld, and gets comfort fromNthe thought that the much out weighed Lion machine actually gained more ground than did the Golden The first move made by Coach Hugo Bexdek this week is significant. He has made the contemplated shif tof Mike Michalske, 00 pound guard, to the backfleld where his great speed and weig'it will serve to add driving power to the speed of the pony backs, Pln eurs, Dangerfleld and Lungren. Barring injuries, it looks right now as though the Penn State mentor intended to use this combination for the rest of the season; To fill Mischalake's place at guard, Bezdek has ack Fllak, Newark boy, who was a regular last year. Filak is just ing from an injury and he was aot at his best against Georgia Tech, but he has the ability to make a strong lineman. Roger Mahony is back at the center post; and until Captain Bas Gray recovers the ground lost during his long layoff, it is likely that Mahoney will re main there.

Bezdek expects to work on "Sen Slamp, Easton boy, at end for the next few weeks, for he sees great possibilities in the former year ling star.
