But the chief of the Giants made speed his fetish, and with speed a variety of play that wouldn't be possible with the current system. I don't say that Terry and Cronin couldn't adapt themselves, managerial ly, to any radical shift in baseball style, but I do say that if the game should suddenly switch back to speed, with the old ball in play, and with the pitchers given back some of the advantage that is now all on the side of the batters, 50 per cent, of the players now in the big leagues would have to turn in their uniforms. For years any baseball scout looking over a new player would first ascertain if the fellow had any speed.

If not, the scout would be likely to pass him up, especially if he was looking at an outfielder. Nowadays, the first thing the scout wants to know is, can he hit 'em hard, and far? Thus has been produced a race of hitters, and hitters only. PROFITS OF NEXT AMATEUR BOXING SHOW FOR NEEDY The Motive Power Association announces that its next amateur boxing show here will be held next Monday night in the Motive Power Hall at Seventh and Boyd streets, and that the entire profits of this show will go to charity, the Women's Aid to be the medium through which the club's charity will be distributed. The association has always contributed a share of profits to the ladies' organization, but in view of the annual campaign, it was felt that it should have the entire profits for this show. The "Three Bills" will again have charge of the show but will in this particular effort have the support of Ray A.

Wells, who will stimulate the sale of tickets. Wells has been friendly to the Bills ever since the shows have been inaugurated, and is anxious to see their efforts on behalf of charity go over in a big way. Bill Granoff, who will have charge of the talent, has already started bis part in a big way. Bill says he will have the greatest galaxy of stars on hand next Monday night that ever greeted a local audience. Invitations have been wired to at least a dozen clubs, and as most of the clubs have been responding recently without invitations, Granoff expects lit I i HI Baseball's Wrongs Told Speed Taken From Game Sluggers Hold Sway Homers Losing Thrill Contention Still Goes Cooyr'rht 1C33 Br Universal Service.

Inc. NEW YORK, Oct. 24 One of Upstate patient's begins a letter, saying: "You ask what's the matter with baseball The gentleman errs. I didn't ask. I told.

Incidentally, 1 was the first to tell. I know very well what's the matter with baseball, and I made my knowledge the theme of a recent declamation in this very column. I judge that some of my brethren heard my ringing tones, as they have since been lefting their own voices. I showed what's the matter with baseball in actual figures, and what's the matter with baseball is the death of speed in the game and lack of variety of play, and lack of strategy. Oddly enough, it is the old men of baseball who are doing the most viewing-with-alarm over the retrogression of the game, and it is the young fellows who are aligned with the present system of play, which is because they know no other system.

The old-timers have seen the derring-do type of baseball, and have watched the game slow down to its present stand-still-and-slug era, and with this era the gradual demise of the game. BASEBALL managers like Bill Terry and Joe Cronin are born of what we must term the lead-in-the-pants school of baseball. This school, offspring of Babe Ruth and the rabbit ball, has one system of i him around It is a throwback to the very earliest days of baseball, to the time of the players with moustaches, and big heavy dogs, or feet, who couldn't run if they wanted to, and who knew of no other way of playing than to take a good grip on their bats and swing. After them came speed, with tremendous individual base runners away back yonder. Then appeared John J.

McGraw to develop speed as a team asset. One of his clubs stole 362 bases one year, and 345 bases the following year, and against that record the Giants and the Washington Senators this year could of Motorists OF snih AT I AM not saying that the baseball public didn't like the hitting. It did. As long as Babe Ruth flourished in his prime, the baseball public loved it. But now the public is tired of home runs, and wants something else, and the only thing I see for baseball is a reversion to speed.

Before Ruth, some felt that the pitchers had too much on the batters. Thus the magnates legislated out the spitball, which I contend is a perfectly legitimate delivery, and by any other less offensive name would still endure. It was no trickier, or unnatural, in my opinion, than the "sinker," or "screw," or "knuckle" deliveries that are now generally accepted. I agree that the "sailors" and "emery" pilches of some of the old-timers were unnatural, but I cannot see that there is any more harm in a pitcher wetting the ball, or his fingers, than wiping his hands on that sack of resin they keep around the mound nowadays. I'd like to see some of the current big hitters hatting against the Raymonds, and Walshes, and Tesreaus, at that.

THERE is a deplorable lack of showmanship in the baseball ownerships nowadays as compared to the old-timers like Charles Webb Murphy, of the Chicago Cubs, and John T. Brush, of the Giants, and Garry Herrman, of the Reds, and Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pirates, and Charley Comiskey, of the White Sox. The owners themselves do not seem to be taking the personal interest in baseball that the old fellows did, and perhaps that's something else that's the matter with baseball. They make no effort to Are Taking OUtt DAY Camera to Rest for Month at Sequals Home ROME, Oct. 24.

Primo Camera. Italian giant who retained his world heavyweight chamoionship against Paulino Uzcudun, of Spain, Sunday night, decided yesterday to rest for a month in Sequals, his home town, before returning to the United States. His plans for doing movie work in Italy have been virtually abandoned. Camera declined to comment on the sporadic booing that greeted his failure to knockout Paulino in the later sessions of their fifteen-round bout. His only comment was: "Anyway, robody else ever knocked out Paulino." Hundreds fo) 'MV' ,3 i srr- sr- Despite reports to the contrary, those in the know declare that the Detroit Tigers will be managed next season by Mickey Cochrane, veteran catcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, shown above.

Rumors yesterday inferred that Cochrane already has signed a contract for 1934 and has been traded to the Tigers for Gene Desautels, a catcher, and $50,000. In the same article, it was reported that Tony Lazzeri, second baseman of the New York has also been traded to the Tigers for Pitcher Elon Hogsett, a lefthander, in a strict player deal. Cochrane is 30. He was purchased bv the Athletics for $50,000 from the Portland (Ore.) club in 1925 and since has been rated as one of the greatest backstops of all time. dress up the game, or to make it anything more than a perfunctory performance.

And they heed no warnings, even from "their well wishers so I am quite sure that what I have said here will make not the slightest difference. But about three or four years from now, when the home run is even a bigger joke than it is today, I'll rise up and say to the magnates: "Well, I told you so."

SALE BOUTS TO BRING STARS TOGETHER Lanky Fred Gfubmier, known in the breezy ranks of matland as ti Empty Fad brings his lean legs and his dismal pan into.Harrisburg tonight, to become one-half the windup at the Zembo Mosque.

They picked out a 4ough old target for those sinuous limbs of Grubmier, as the man who opposes the lean Ne-braskan is Dick Shikat. Shikat, once champion of the world, is having a tough old time to get started in a campaign that will bring him a title battle. The German, who is as strong a wrestler as the game knows, as durable, courageous and skilful as any in the business, seems to have hit a hard spot in the road. Those who shun him as the biggest in the mat realm, and those he meets, save chaps like Grubmier, are a bit awed by the might of the sturdy Richard. Therefore, Grubmier has a fine chance tonight to upset the dope and ruin the plans of Richard to get back into the spotlight.

Freeman Returns The Grubmier-Shikat tilt, however, is not the only important scuffle on the card. Herbie tree' man, the fat boy of the Bronx, has returned to the mat again and is anxious to make the pace swift and his career brilliant. Herb started away like a racehorse, and was going great guns when he had to quit His return brings him into conflict with Babe Caddock, who is a pupil of Farmer Burns from that roted school in Iowa. Cliff Olsen catches a tartar in rugged Dick Daviscourt, while the latter likes to take these young fellows apart to see what makes 'em tick. The curtain-raisers are Dick Raines, one of the notables from California and Little Beaver, who gave up a post in Oklahoma to indulge in his penchant for the mat.

Altogether it is a well-balanced card, with plenty of sizzling action and lots of speed and strength on exhibition. Washington and Lee in Battle With Princeton LEXINGTON. Oct. 24. A Washington and Lee team that three times in five games this season has helped spoil the records of gridiron experts will face Princeton Saturday again doped to lose.

It is a team which has emerged from three games it "couldn't win" with a scoreless tie, a victory, and a defeat. Yale has gained the only win over the Generals this season. West Virginia's heavy Mountaineers fought them to a deadlock, and the giant Wildcats of Kentucky fell before the fury of an unexpected Washington and Lee offense. The Generals showed William and Mary that they couldn't depend on the dopesters or a victory. They also won as predicted over Roanoke.

The first slant on the comparative strength of the John Harris and William Penn High Schools will be available after the two teams engage in respective games thus Saturday. The Crimson eleven of the Hill will meet Williamsport High in probably its most important conference game of the current season. Williamsport crushed Sunbury last Friday night by a 27-to-0 score. Sunbury's Owls will be on the Island Saturday against the William Penn eleven while Harris Is struggling with the Millionaires at Williamsport Whatever Harris does away from home and Penn accomplishes on the Island should give local fans a half-decent idea of how the city rivals compare in strength. This column looks for a Harris nd Penn victory this week-end.

A. football team was the fifth straight victim of the Columbia Mohawks' eleven Sunday afternoon, losing by a 14 to 0 score on the Janson Park field before the smallest crowd of the season. Garland Kise, tall left end on the local team, scored both touchdowns, with Bren Shultz getting the extra points with perfect placement kicks. Linglestown was put in a hole early in the first quarter when Perkey dropped one of Kise's fifty-yard punts, with Broome recovering for the Mohawks on the visitors' twenty-five-yard line. Weisser hit left tackle for five yards.

Shultz then made a perfect forward pass to Kise who legged the remaining five yards for the score, cleverly sidesteonine two men waitinfr to tackle turn. Pok. Mnhawki Unsleatown Tj.E. E. Ostot Wrgj Fleman Alexander Lebo R.O.

Two Out With Injuries On Susquehanna Eleven SELINSGROVE, Oct. 24. Susquehanna's Crusaders will be forced to appear in their Homecoming Day tilt with Washington College, here next Saturday, greatly handicapped with injuries. The St. Joe Hawks were really vicious in their assault last week when Coach Bill Ullery's eleven eked out a 7 to 6 win.

Two veteran backfield aces, Steve Martinee and Dink Walsh, sustained major injuries and will be unable to don moleskins this week. Walsh" will be out for the remainder of the season with a broken collar-bone. Martinee's wounds have not as yet been properly diagnosed but it is almost certain that Susquehanna's great halfback will be out of the harness for a number of weeks. RAFFERTY OUTPOINTED HOLYOKE, Oct. 24.

Lou Amber. Herkimer, N. 135, defeated Phil York, 140, in the feature ten-round bout here last nicht. cidentally, and the same for Steelton when it meets York. Some things unsaid about Steel-ton-Penn game: Many William Penn fans walked from this city to Steel-ton 'to see the Before the contest children gathered on street corners along the route to Cottage Hill and cheered loud and long.

The Penn players set a precedent en the down-river grid when the entire squad walked slowly onto the field in its first appearance. The Steelton stands roared as they jogged easily down the field and went into somersaults and other blood-warming exercises. The coaches exchanged warm greetings before the tiff but all the while Tony Wilsbach kept casting glances at his squad warm- up. A genuine amiability appeared to exist between Assistant Coach Nelson Hoffman and Athletic Director Jesse Rees. The Steelton Girls' Marching Club put on a snappy drill between halves.

Gilbert Dailey, Steelton cheer-leader, turned out to be the Harrisburg Senators best foul-ball chaser. Ed Lewis. University of Pennsylvania football team's interfering back, whose nose was broken for the fifth time Saturday in the game with Dartmouth said, "I'm kind of used to it by now." Local high school place-kickers, attention! The New York Giants' pro eleven has made thirteen straight point after touchdown, twelve consecutive points coming on placement kicks. Last week the column advocated the return of mascots for the Harris and Penn Island games. The suggestion apparently had the desired effect as the Harris cheer-Waders appeared with a mule on Saturday.

Harris used to carry a goat. Perhaps the shift to the mule is a hint to its future foes that it is going to be a stubborn team to defeat. Maybe William Penn can dig up a plavfui little Tieer somewhere? ALL fTAR Ifotikc diu fob a near RIDING TNRIEL on. Here are!

Sale ends October '31. DiCii. P.M.C.T0 CLASH WITH DICKINSON Coach Jud Timm today began bolstering up his Pennsylvania Military College offensive in preparation for P. M. battle with the strong Dickinson team Saturday at Carlisle.

Failure of P. M. air attack and lack of co-ordination in the backfield are believed to be the principle reasons for P. M. 10 to 0 defeat by Rutgers University.

Red Poliock, 195 pound left halfback was the only i Cadet back able- to break through Rutgers' stonewall line. In fact Pollock played a one man game in the backfield, doing virtual all of the punting, passing and running. Mai Stevens, right halfback, is supposed to be a triple-threater; Frank Nalinsky. quarterback, a good passer, and Cy Sobeck, a capable line plunger, yet these three Chester Cadets failed to adequately support Pollock in the Rutgers melee. The Chester gridders staged a flashing air attack in their opener with the West Chester Teachers, and were expecting to score against Rutgers via the air.

but their aerial drive against the New Brunswick machine collapsed almost as as it was launched. Two of the hard tasks of Coach Timm this week will be to coordinate the play of his quartet of varsity ball carriers, and to rebuild and make effective P. M. shattered air game. If he fails to do this there are likely to be some radical changes in the varsity backfield before the Dickinson game.

A meet with Wilmington at Wilmington, has been set for January 13. A return match will be scheduled for this city later. Negotiations are being made for a match with the York and an exhibition will be given at the Millersburg American Legion at an early date. Coach Steele is satisfied with the material on hand but is in need of a 115-pound man and a good heavyweight. The club welcomed last night as new members: William Potts, How ard Hoy, Vernon Gerhart, Russel Wissler, Harvey McBride, and Wayhe Murray.

Shenk Fills Shoes of Star in Perm Lineup 4 This is Clarence (Corney) Shenk, a William Penn High School quarterback, who came into his own this i season.

Win, lose or draw, Notre Dame will carry along under its present coaching administration the remainder of the 1933 football season. The hue and cry raised over Notre Dame's record of one victory, one defeat and one tie in the three games is greater in New York and Los Angeles than it is in South Bend.

The Notre Dame players and coaches are a bit bewildered over the strange pranks that fate has been playing on the fighting Irish, but. there is no criticism of the players by Coach Heartly (Hunk) Anderson or any harpoons hurled at Anderson in official circles. The Rev. Charles L. O'Donneil, president of Notre Dame, is not greatly perturbed over Notre Dame's failure to sweep all before it on the gridiron this season.

"We scheduled teams with a sporting chance of beating us," said Father O'Donneil. "and we expect to lose sometimes." A 0 0 A 1 WITH RAGE JOE TRIES TO CONTROL WIS IMPULSE TO THROTTLE THE BREED FOR.
