BILL MCKECHNIE HE TAMED THE YANKS IN Going into his sixth world series, Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, battles the St. Louis Cardinals with one of the most crippled teams that ever appeared Tough Fight Ahead In Pro Tournament For Champion Hagen BALTIMORE, Oct. by day the going is getting tougher for Walter Hagen in the National professional golf championship now in its quarter final round.

A virtual unknown, Julian Blanton of Toledo, gave him a great run for his money yesterday and today the Haig, champion for the last four years, faced the prospect of playing Leo. Diegel, Gene Sarazen and Al Espinosa on successive days. The three. like most of the other pros, are getting a bit tired of seeing Sir Walter nonchantly romp off with the title year after year and would almost prefer beating him to winning the title if they had their choice. Unless Hagen plays considerably better than he did in winning from Blanton 2 up yesterday, he is apt to find himself in considerable trouble against any of these three veterans.

But Hagen has a way of rising to occasions and he still is a heavy favorite for the crown. Rockne Grid Strategy Spreads Over Big Ten CHICAGO, Oct. -Knute Rockne's football strategy, which calls for numerous substitutions and the inevitable "shock troops" if needed, is spreading about the Big Ten. Coach Robert Zuppke used the plan last year as his Illinois team won the conference championship, and now Wisconsin has adopted it. So severe is Wisconsin's schedule this year, Coach Glen Thistlethwaite announced, that he does not plan to place all of Wisconsin's hopes on a single "first" team.

Instead, three full "first" teams will be ready for action and substitutions will be many. Notre Dame may feel the force of this change of policy Saturday as it clashes with the Badgers at Madison in the most important game in the conference. Minnesota lost two more prospects yesterday when Al Arsenault and Earl Calendar, backs, were ruled ineligible. Both are sophomores. Judging by the success the grayhaired pitchers have had this year, the training camps in spring are, going to look like a Grand Army encampment.

His team is among GRID LEADERS By NEA Service NEW ORLEANS, Oct. To say the least, Tulane's football eleven should be better this fall than it was in 1927 when the Greenies lost practically all of its important games, the annual game to Louisiana State. One finds many reasons for this optimism in the camp of the Greenles. It will be Bernie Bierman's second year as coach. The material is better and more experienced and more acquainted with Bierman's system of coaching.

Bierman is a Minnesota graduate, but has been coaching southern football for several years. He was assistant to Clark Shaughnessy at Tulane in 1925 and later head coach at Mississippi A. and M. before re- Me NUTS CRACKER The melancholy days are almost here when sporting editors receive letters beginning with, "Permit me to call your attention to Willie Keeler's feat in playing the whole season without striking out. We are now wondering what' became of the Weisenheimers who predicted a couple of weeks ago that the Athletics would win the pennant because the other teams in the league would rather see them cop than the Yanks.

In selecting his all-star team this season, O'Goofty wants to be sure have Clark Griffith to buy and sell the players. It's a good thing Altrock is with Washingon. Griff probably would trade Bucky Harris Goose Goslin and Joe Judge for him. St. Louis crowds during the last few days of the National League chase, ran between 40,000 and 000.

Just as a tip to Sam Breadonhe'd better make room for 1,000,000 for the first game that old Aleck pitches against the Yanks. Rousing Democratic Rally And Public Speaking Senator T. H.

On the every old hand idea coaches of using are only the simple formations in the early season games and are working hard to develop their best scoring plays. Only Tuss McLaughry at Brown has indicated his intention of using only straight football tactics in the opener against Worcester Poly Saturday.

The bigger colleges, inspired perhaps by the ever-increasing danger of defeat at the hands of minor ponents, are preparing to take to the air at tha very start. Army, Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth all ArG working on their passing offense. Harvard, threatened by an aerial attack its first game Springfield, worked on a defense against the pass. The program for the rest of the week for most of eastern colleges is to take it easy and not risk injuries. After yesterday's long scrimmages, few coaches have scheduled hand to hand encounters with the scrubs before the games Saturday.

Two French Stars Lose In Tourney LOS ANGELES, Oct. (P)-A group of. California tennis stars today had cut down the distance to the titles in the Pacific southwest championships and with it some of their most formidable opponents, including two recqueters of the French Davis, Cup team. But the big threat of Henri Cochet, French ace, still predominated despite the defeats of his two companions. Pierre Landry in the singles and Landry and Christian Boussus in the doubles.

The quarter finals of the singles competition found three Californians, an easterner and Cochet as thefavorites. They were Alan Herrington, former Stanford University star, Gerald Stratford, California doubles champion, and John Doeg, of Santa Monica, and Ryn, former Princeton University tennis captain.

Cubs Take Opener Of Chicago Series CHICAGO, Oct. McCarthy's Cubs were one up today Lena Blackburne's White Sox in their annual battle for the baseball championship of Chicago. With Pat Malone blinding the opnosition with his speed ball, the Cubs needed only the first inning to win the first game of the series, 3 to 0, before more than 25,000 yesterday. Malone was in great form, allowing only five scattered hits and only one of Blackburne's men got to third. Urban "Red" Faber, the southsiders' pitching patriarch, was the victim of the game even though he pitched only of an inning.

(P)-Threatened with displacement from the Argentine team after its defeat in the first game of the series for the polo championship of the Americas, Arturo Kenny, young South American No. 1, has earned for himself a place the honor roll of international polo. Kenny seemed to be the weak link in the Argentine four when it lost the opener, but when the four horsemen of the pampas came back yesterday to ride rough shod over the United States to win 10 to 7 and even the series, Kenny was, perhaps, the most brilliant of the four stars.

The Argentine forward scored five of his team's goals and helped paved the way for several others. Captain Jack Nelson, No. 2, scored three more while John Miles and Lewis Lacey helped the cause by fine work both on' the offensive and the defense. The United States "Big Four," however, fell below the form displayed in its brilliant opening victory. The Americans' team work was poor and their hitting erratic.

Philadelphia last night, Marriner discovered his right hand had been broken. Refusing to heed suggestions of his seconds that he quit, he fought on with such determination that he won the judges' decision, knocking his opponent down 11 times, Marriner will be out of the ring for six weeks or more as the result of the injury, his trainer announced. dout Card Fun spac Se 60g TI 650 Di lecti: for those date for TRA Th book will telep fence Th respo incor tions fice morn TO WE hand ing. over To and partn BEST Alab: Selm pitching Alexander, expected than DUKE ingto RADIO expel for Radio Bird turning as head coach at Tulane.

Billy Banker, who last year ran 90 yards for a touchdown against Georgia Tech, is the young man around whom the team is built this fall. He was one of the best halfbacks in the south as a sophomore 1927.

Synthetic Liquors Popular In London LONDON, Oct.

British government has taxed whisky and other liquors SO highly that poorer classes are drinking methylated spirits despite the increasing number of deaths and cases of insanity. It costs about $3 for a bottle of whisky in England and of this, about $2 is governmental tax. On the other hand a substantial amount of methylated spirits can be obtained for about 12 cents. That much will cause intoxication. Many addicts have recently become insane and the British press beginning to throw the spotlight rof publicity on the situation.

Scientists Seek Cure For City Street Noise LONDON, Oct. scientists and noted men in other fields have turned their attention to the elimination of the nerve-racking clamor of city streets. the booming, clanging, clashing. whistling, trumpeting, honking clattering, buzzing and banging which goes on in the streets night and day has become too much for them. Londoners who visit New York leclare they would not live in the American metropolis because of the din of the city.

In fact, however, New Yorkers who come to London say the same thing. London probably suffers from much more noise from the streets than New York. There are several reasons for it. London's streets are narrow and winding and the motorist's view is dangerously blocked at intersections.
