"In turn, Dave Harris forced Goslin," Connie adds. "Had either of those bunts been able to advance the man on first, he could have scored on Cronin's single and the Senators would have won 2 to 1 in nine innings, instead of losing by that score in the 11th. "Then, in the fifth inning cf the final game, Fred Schulte and Joe Kuhel singled. Ossie Bluege got two strikes and then bunted foul to strike out under the rules.

Ha.l Bluege made his sacrifice, Schulte would have had no trouble scoring on Sewell's long drive, and, again, the Senators would have won 4 to 3 in the ninth, instead of losing by that count in the tenth."

Watsonville, jurors refused to accept fees in two trials and waived traveling expenses as a means of cutting public expenses. i jj Mountaineers Completely Bottled by Panther Creek Team and Are Defeated 12-0. Flashing a strong and versatile attack against the Hazleton A. C. before a big crowd the Coaldale Panthers walloped the Mountaineers 12-0.

Coaldale's first touchdown in the second period after a sustained drive by the Panthers planted the oval on the 3-yard line. A line by Zenko carried the pigskin across the goal line and the score was 6-0 remaining thus when the try for the extra point was a failure. i he Panthers' second score came in the third quarter when Motto chucked a bull's eye pass to Pan-tella. The ex-high school star snared the ball on the run and galloped 20 yards across the final chalk mark for the touchdown. The try for extra point again flopped and the score 12-0.

Hazleton had no opportunity to score during the game. Their running attack was bottled up completely by Coaldale who played a smart game defensively. The lineups: Coaldale Panthers Hazleton A. C. Trimmel Gallagher Left end.

Classified Ads Bring Resufts FOR PAINT AND WALL PAPER Giants' Ace Polls 77 Points Out of Possible 80 and Wins Out By Decisive Margins Over "Chuck" Klein and Wally Berger, Slug' ging Stars. NEW YORK, Oct.

11. (JP) The selection of Carl Hubbell as the Na tional League's "most valuable player for 1933" will bring few squawks from John Heydler's cir cuit ana aosoiuteiy none at an irom the Washington Senators, champ-ions of the American League. By almost unanimous consent, the slender southpaw pitching ace of the world champion New York Giants was adjudged most valuable to his team in balloting by a committee of eight members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The results of the poll were announced yesterday by Den- man Thompson of the Washington Star, committee chairman. Hubbell polled 77 points out of a maximum possible total of 80 and won out by decisive margins irom Chuck Klein and Wally Berger, slugging outfielders of the Phillies and Boston Braves respectively.

For several years Hubbell has been rated one of the National loop's most effective hurlers but the lean master of the screwball never before enjoyed so sensational a sea son as he did this year. He was the dominant pitching figure in the Giants' dramatic dnve to the Na tional League pennant, winning 23 games, ten of them shutouts, and twice turned back Washington in the world series. The Senators failed to get an earned run off him in 20 innings. Hubbell's selection marks the first time a pitcher has gained the award since 1924 when Dazzy Vance then of Brooklyn, was the winner. No member of the Giants had been named since Larry Doyle won the old Chalmers award in 1912.

Back of Hubbell in this year's balloting finished Klein with 48 points, followed by Berger with 44. Manager Bill Terry of the Giants was fourth with 35 with Pepper Martin of the Cardinals fifth at 31. The complete results of the voting: Carl Hubbell, Giants, 77; Chuck Klein, Phillies, 48; Wally Berger, Braves, 44; Bill Terry, Giants, 35; Pepper Martin, Cardinals, 31; Gus Mancuso, Giants, 24; Dizy Dean, Cardinals, 23; Pie Traynor, Pirates, 20; Eyan, Giants, 19; Al Lopez, Dodgers, 18; Ben Cantwell, Braves, 18; Hal Schumacher, Giants, 11; Rabbit Maranville, Braves, 11; Guy Bush, Cubs, 11; Larry French, Pirates, 10; Frank Frisch, Cardinals, Jim Bottomley, Reds, Joe Medwick, Cardinals, Gabby Hartnett, Cubs, Lon Warneke, Cubs, Red Lucas, Reds, Dick Bartell, Phillies, Floyd Vaughan, Pirates, Randy Moore, Braves, Virgil Davis, Phillies, Chick Hafey, Reds, Adolfo Luque, Giants, 1. WILDCATS BOOKED FOR McADOO GAME The Hazleton Heights' Wildcats foot ball team of this city, will meet the McAdoo Wildcats Saturday afternoon at St. Michael's Park at the latter place.

The Heights recently lost a 12-0 decision to the Coaldale Panthers. Hughie Gallagher, coach of the Heights team, will have his squad out this week and when they invade McAdoo they will have an array of fast stepping backs, with a good strong line. LITTLE ANNIE HILL CLASH HERE St. Gabriel's and Mauch Chunk Squads to Battle at Buhler Stadium Saturday. St.

Gabriel's High School team and Mauch Chunk Catholic High squad will clash at Buhler Stadium here Saturday afternoon starting at 2:30. The kickoff is scheduled for 2:30. The Saints recently lost to the McAdoo High School team but they have improved materially since that time. Coach Loughran has confi dence that his proteges will avenge that defeat when they meet the Carbonites and is working out with his aggregation every day. The Chunkers are coming to Hazleton with a clean record having defeated all their opponents which included some first class foot ball teams.

This year's team that Mauch Chunk will present here is by far faster than other years. TfEEflS ORGANIZE FOOT BILL The Hazleton Tigers A. A. will be represented on the gridiron this season by the strongest team in the history of the organization. The eleven will play independent foot ball and is under the management of Joseph Mattis.

Mauro Forte, former Hazleton High grid star, was named to coach the team. The following players make up the roster of the club: P. Obert, J. Stich, N. Agresta, C.

Strenk, John Toman, A. Pavlick, P. Takach, Jos. Toman, J. Katrisin.

J. Antolick, A. Stash, J. Voitek, A. Mehall, P.

Katrisin, J. Geffert, and Al Warburton. Coach Forte will have the players working out all this week in prep aration for the opening contest. The team is open for a game for Sunday, October 22. PASSES.

(By The Associated Press) ITHACA, N. Y. Gil Dobie's pessimism is a football byword but it scarcely is warranted by the record he has compiled in 31 years of coaching. In that time, at Minneso ta, North Dakota Agricultural College, University of Washington and, for the last 13 years, Cornell, he has moulded or helped to develop teams which have won 207 games while losing only 22. HAVANA Dr.

Miguel M. Go mez, mayor of Havana during 1925- 29, goes to the head of the class as a football fan. A political exile last year, Dr. Gomez attended all of Columbia's games and became so enthusiastic about the game in general and Columbia's team in particular, that upon his return to Cuba he arranged to have all Columbia's scores cabled to him as soon as the games were over. BOSTON A new comer to in tercollegiate football, Northeastern University finds itself beset un expected problems.

One of the most serious, however, already has been solved. When the Engineers played their first game last week, 500 residents of the neighborhood peered out their windows and saw the game without financial outlay. A high canvas wall, erected yesterday, was Northeastern's answer. CHICAGO The Chicago plaver I who makes the first tackle in any i game will win a prize from Coach ougMpNEy is almost WE GOTTA ETAT- BUT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD AM' MAYBE: KIN GET A A5 PERFESSIOMAL Brotherly love is exemplified on the Luzerne High School foot ball squad which defeated Hazleton High here, 6-0 on September 30. It boasts 17 brothers.

Three members of the Gunari family play on the team Francis as regular halfback, and John and Victor as substitutes. Richard Morgan is captain, and his brother, Thomas, is a teammate. Both of the Inman brothers, James and Abe, are substitutes, as are Daniel and John Killeen. Joseph and John Sakeri hold down regular varsity positions. The Perugino brothers, Andy and Nick, play in every game.

Frank Yakus is a regular varsity player, and Edward is an aspirant. Larry and Orville Atherholt represent their family as substitutes. SETS FAST PACE FORPRD BACKS Ex-West Virginia Wesleyan Back Has Gained Twice as Much Ground as Any Other, NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Cliff Battles, former West Virginia Wes leyan back who toils now for the Boston Redskins, is setting a sensa tional pace for national professional football league backs.

In four games he has gained 413 yards, twice as much ground as any other back in the league and an average of eight yards per try. Glenn Presnell of Portsmouth is the leading scorer with two touch downs, three points after touch down and two field goals for 21 points. Arnold Herber of Green Bay leads the passers with 20 comple tions in ii attempts for a gain of 281 yards. The new rule placing the goal posts back on the line has produced eight field goals already, more than twice as many as were booted in the entire 1932 season. DFFI APPOINTED BY LEAGUE At a meeting of the Anthracite Foot Ball League held at the Alta-mont here last night neutral officials were named by the managers to have full charge of the games in the circuit hereafter.

The new plan goes into effect next Sunday when Beaver Meadow meets Eckley at the former place and Freeland stacks up against Drifton. The next meeting will be held Thursday evening at 7:15 at this office when the officials will meet with the league president. The men appointed are: Joseph Phillips, Wil liam Bell, Tony Dougherty, Metro Weston, Carl Richards and William Kramer. Bloomsburg Called "Huskies." In conforming with the custom of most colleges, Bloomsburg has decided to have a mascot for their athletes. And the name none other than the Bloomsburg Huskies was chosen for Bloomsburg State Teach ers College athletes.

This name was selected and voted upon by the student body. COLGATE'S A shaving cream that soaks wiry whiskers soft.

KIM YOU THREE GHME5IN WEST Intersectional Warfare Provides Competition Eastern Interest in Pitt Game.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11. P) If it's competition that foot ball fans want, a trip into the middle west might be advisable this week. No other section of the country will be so liberally endowed with outstanding games although the South will not be far behind. The "corn belt" program is headed bv three prime intersection al duels, Stanford's clash with northwestern at Chicago, Cornell's joust with Michigan at Ann Arbor and r.derbilt's sally against Ohio State.

Then there will be a pair of Big Ten Straggles, Purdue and Minnesota, and Wisconsin and Illinois Notre Dame's second start, this time against Indiana; and two Big Six contests, the one involving Nebraska and Iowa State, the other between Kansas State and Frank Carideo's hapless Missouri Tigers. Although it is topped in general interest by such battles as Duke-Tennessee, Auburn-Georgia Teach and Georgia-North Carolina, Louisiana State's clash with Centenary's Gentlemen will be watched closely by Southeastern Conference members, anxious to determine just how sturdy a team Biff Jones has succeeded in building at Louisiana. The Baton Rouge outfit so far has bowled over Rice, 13-0 and Millsaps 40-0, but Centenary should offer a sterner test. The Gentlemen were undefeated last year, beating Louisiana State, 6-0, and turning back three Southwest Conference members, Texas, Southern Methodist and Texas A. and before Arkansas held them to a scoreless draw in their final game.

Centenary has won its first three games this season by comfort able margins, the last a 19-0 conquest of Baylor, another member of the Southwest Conference. While other favorites have been falling by the wayside in droves, Southern California's Trojans con tinue their all-conquering sweep in so impressive a fashion as to indicate that it will be the Trojans against the field for the mythical national championship. Developments later may force a revision. Southern California has scored 141 points against none for the opposi tion in the first four games but St. Mary's, Oregan State, California, Stanford, Oregon, Notre Dame, Georgia and Washington lie ahead.

Eastern interest this week will be centered at Pittsburgh where the Pitt Panthers meet Rip Miller's Navy eleven. Pre-season- calculation pointed to Pitt as one of the country's major gridiron powers again but that remains to be proved competition. Navy, much improved, may provide the answer to the riddle. 9 End of Season Clearance Sale. Every Car A Bargain.

11. VP) Baseball's veteran strategist, Connie Mack, speaking from the authority of 50 years in the game, justified Manager Joe Cronin's selection of young Cliff Bolton to pinch hit for the Washington Senators in that "hot spot" of the fourth game of last week's world series. At the same time he points out that if the Senators had been equal to making two bunts in the last two games, the series would have returned to New York with Washington a game in the lead. "Bolton hit hard right down to the close of the season," he explains. "He was 'hot' and you always use your 'hot man to bat in a pinch.

That was why Cronin, no doubt, selected Bolton to bat in the fourth game with the bases loaded." Analyzing those two failures to bunt, Connie says the Irst was in MAUCH CHUNK 10 MEETJMZLETOH Blue Stars of Carbon County Will Oppose Professionals Sunday at Cranberry. Officials of the Hazleton Profes sionals football team announced to day that they have booked the Mauch Chunk Blue Stars Sunday afternoon at the Cranberry baseball park. In booking this aggregation from Carbon county the management of the Mountaineers is following its policy of bringing only the best at tractions available to Cranberry. The Mauch Chunk team this years is one of the best to ever represent the county seat of Carbon. To date they have defeated Over- brook White Jackets led by Tex Hamer, former Penn star and last week the Chunkers triumphed over the Lancaster Roses, regarded as a strong aggregation.

Due to the rivalry existing be tween two teams situated so closely a record crowd is expected to attend the contest. The Hazleton squad will work out this week, getting in trim for the conflict and reports from Car bon county state the Blue Stars are rounding into shape for the encounter. The St. Paul's M. E.
