1 10 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1934 Chick Meehan's Yearning Is Satisfied After Years of Disappointment Newcomers Prominently Cast in Dodgers' Rebuilding Plans A Left Side Runner Sets Jaspers 'Right' And His Name's Elmer Series Contenders Strong in Pitchers Cochrane Will Place His Greatest Hope in School hoy Rowe Thinks He Is Better Than Huhhell and Is Willing to Start Him Against Giant Twirler, 'I 7 if riS'V'- By HAROLD PARROTT Left-side runners are to football coaches like manna from above; for the peculiar fact is that most lads with an armful of leather look like Granges when they can spin and twist and cut to their right, but once they are forced to their left they have little balance or skill. They dodge with all the agility of a wooden Indian and they are brought to earth like a sack of flour. But listen: Manhattan College has this year a left-side runner of great skill, and this alone lends versatility to an attack which is scheduled to take the glamorous Green to the top places.

By FRANK REIL When, as and if, the Giants stagger into the World Series, practically all of the pitching they are going to see will be done by right handers. Detroit's "Big Four," con sisting of Schoolboy Rowe, Tom, Bridges, AIvin Crowder and Eldeq; Auker, are also fast ball heavers. However, there is a chance that. Mickey Cochrane, keeper of Ben gals, wUl use only the first thre4 named, as Rowe is expected to pitch, the first and fourth games of th series. In that case Auker and.

But that is not the fault of the New York pitching staff, which has been toiling with almost matchless efficiency to keep the men from Harlem out in front. And If the Giants are the ones to tangle with Detroit's rampaging Tigers next week. Hub-bell, Schumacher, Fitzsimmons and Parmelee threaten to worry Mickey Cochrane It Co. to a greater extent than any other National League representatives.

A certain amount of really good pitching is essential to the team that would win a pennant. The Giants have been receiving exceptional pitching from Bill Terry's quartet of tried and talented hurlers. Hubbell Giant Ace Carl Owen Hubbell is the most famous member of the New York La Salle M.

"In the first game my quarterback called one left-side play, but they never used it again. I tried to get 'em to use 'em, but they just wouldn't. It was unnatural, that's why. And 1 learned a lesson: I had wasted three weeks of training time!" As a result, Meehan's teams, always noted for their power, had a strangely one-track attack.

He always had one back do the running while he was in the lineup; the others blocked or decoyed, but it was the running back who carried the ball nine times out of ten. Ken Strong was one; they tried to make Tanguay his successor and failed; then came McNamara, the last of Meehan's great ballcarriers at the Violet institution.

Rowe is a fast ball tosser, but he also has a baffling change of pace that he uses when Retires Nassau Trophy By RALPH TROST Golfers made news on Long Island yesterday. In the final of the Nassau Country Club's annual amateur Invitation tournament Dan Topping, the medalist, didn't win a single hole. That never happened before to the olive-skinned, monied young man who is playing "banker" to the Brooklyn Dodgers football team. Not one single hole.

Three recent additions to the Brooklyn Dodgers, who will play an important part in Manager Casey Stengel's revamping plans for 1934 are from left to right Pitcher Bob Logan, purchased from Indianapolis, and Outfielder Mario Farotto and Catcher Walter Millies, bought from Dayton.

THINGS EXPECTED OF THIS TRIO Now Jimmy Downey, 110-pound Lackawanna boy at quarterback, seems to be the busybody in the Green attack; but this year the presence of Taber and the end-round and safety-man ball-carrying of Big Joe Gallagher add more lustre and versatility to this offense than anything Meehan has previously hatched out. Downey carried the ball five times in a row to the touchdown; but Gallaghers daring reception of punts and his power running were outstanding Saturday.

That's sometahing of a record.

Possibly it has been equaled. Probably there are as many "no-holes-lost" golf matches waiting to be recorded as holes-in-one. However one hears little about them. If asked to recall another "no-holes-lost" match the writer would have been able to remember just one important one. That occured in the National Amateur last year when George Dunlap beat Gus Moreland.

WHITE'S VICTORY RETIRES TROPHY The White-Topping affair came within an inch of being a match In which the victor not only didn't lose a hole, but won just one and that proved his winning margin. Topping lost but two holes. The seventh and the ninth. The ninth was doomed to be lost from the time he topped his tee shot. Not so the seventh.

But Taber's showing was one of the things that pleased Meehan most. Buster is tough and hard to bring down.

And his deception comes from a hip twist. "Right-side runners get their chance of pace from an ankle or knee tiist," explained Chick, "but these rare left-side birds usually seem to get their moves from the hips.

He Is a knuckle-ball pitcher with a most peculiar delivery.

He whirls around until he faces centerficld, fires the ball out of "his hip pocket." How he maintains such excellent control completely puzzles most ball players. Most pltxhers trying to conceal the ball in that way would seldom get it over the plate. Fitzsimmons came to the Giants In 1925 from the American Association and, like Hubbell, has never fallen below .500 In percentage in the National Lague. Fitz is an extremely hard worker, a tremendous competitor In an important game, one of the best fielding pitchers anywhere. Casey Stengel, Brooklyn's manager, points to one of the creases in his forehead and says "Parmelee gave me that." LeRoy Parmelee.

who started life as a Michigan farm boy, is a 27-year-old husky whose nickname is Tarzan. He always had tremendous speed and a great curve.
