Saturday, October 10, 1931 Grove Lets Gari wit: JUL Martin's Martin Fails to Hit Safely as Speed Ball King Stops Cards ; "Pepper" Gets Only Walk. DECIDING GAME TODAY Cardinals Trying to Break Amer ican League Run of Victories; yMack Seeks Third Title. By Thomas H. Broughton Behind .the five-hit pitchingj of "Lefty" Grove, ace of left handed pitchers,, the Philadel phia Athletics evened the cur rent series with the Cardinals of St. Louis with a 8-1 victory. Grove was in great form, nev er faltering from start to finish. It was decidedly the best of the three pitched by the lanky port sider. His speedy fireball, fast at all times, seemed even faster, too fast even i or the St. Louis batting king, the irrepressible "Pepper" Martin, who for the first time in the series went hit less. Martin's contribution to the lost cause being a walk in the last half of the ninth inning. Grove was taking no chances with the Cardinal rookie start ing a rally and passed him for the only walk of the game. In three tries Martin fouled vout to Foxx, lined out to Miller, and flied out to Bishop. His fourth attempt resulted in Grove's only pass of the game. The Athletics made their eight hits count in the pinches, and together with the wildness of the Red Bird moundsmen, garnered eight, runs, most of which were unearned. The first attack of the Athlet ics' came in the fifth. Foxx was safe on Flowers' error. Miller sacrificed. Dykes walked. Wil liams followed with a single to rightcenter, soring Foxx. Grove struck out. Passes to Bishop, Haas, and Simmons, and Coch- rane's single accounted for the other three markers. There Johnson relieved Derringer, forcing Foxx to pop up to Gel bert. Lindsey relieved Johnson in the seventh, but was unable to stem the tide. Bishop opened the inning with a single. Haas sacrificed. Cochrane flied out to Hafey. Simmons and Foxx sin gled in succession, scoring Bish op. Miller was hit by a pitched ball, filling the bases. Dykes walked. Williams' fly was dropped by Hafey, Fbxx and Miller scoring. Grove grounded to Frisch to end the inning. ; With the final and deciding game of the series scheduled for today, a capacity crowd is ex pected to fill Sportman's Park, home of the Cardinals, to see whether Connie Mack wins his third straight world series," -or that the National Leaguers break the jinx of the American League. Earnshaw arid Grimes are the probable mound choices. , The box score: Athletics ' ab Bishop, 2b ...........

High Spots Of The Series By TOM WALKER' - The Athletics ' certainly wrinkled up the Cards yester day afternoon. In the first big inning, the fifth, ten Philadel phia batsmen stepped up to the plate, and in the other big frame, the seventh, the batting order made one complete round. There were only two hits made in the fifth, but four runs were countered, and in the seventh three hits, coupled with walks and an error put over the other four runs. Old Max Bishop still has plenty of pep, vim, and vigor out at second case. The old Philadel phia veteran fell going after Flowers' drive in the first, but he got up and tjirew the Cardinal third basemen out. In the third inning, Bishop, coming in on Derringer's bunt, ran into Grove, but while lying on the ground he tossed to Foxx at first to catch Derringer. The Athletic infield started off with a double play in the first inning. With Flowers down, and Roettger on first on a single, Frisch grounded to Bishop, who tossed to Williams, who in turn threw to Foxx. At last "Pepper" Martin has failed to hit. He did nothing in three official times at bat, but he did get his first walk of the series in the ninth. . Roettger, in addition to get ting the first hit off Grove, made two beautiful catches in the wilds of right .field. He made a one handed stab of Bishop's long fly in the second, taking the ball right against the fence, and in the next inning he slid along the 0-ronnd to catch Simmons' line drive to right-center. Derringer continued his strikeout campaign against Grove, striking out the Athletic twirler in the third, and repeat ing the performance in the fifth with three pitched balls. The Cardinal infield, after missing several chances-for dou ble plays, filially completed one in the eighth. It was the old combination, Frisch to Gelbert to Bottomley. Jimmy Wilson, after catching nearly six full games for the Cardinals, ' finally retired in favor of a substitute. Mancuso took his place in the ninth. Mickey Cochrane's error in the ninth broke the Athletics string of errorless games at five, but the A's have set a new rec ord for errorless games in a world series. The old mark was made by the Red Sox, who in the 1918 series played four games without having a single error chalked up against them. v ! . TT7T1 T A TT "V rn kT TtTPT ' ' r,IARYLAND-NAVY r.IEETCLASSIC Navy Slight Favorite in District of Columbia's Biggest Game of the Season. In the biggest football game of the season for the District of Columbia, Navy will meet the Old Liners of Maryland this afternoon in a game that prom ises some of the most sensational play of the Eastern season. Both teams are hopeful of victory, and the largest crowd of the season is expected to gather in Griffith Stadium when the two teams line up for the initial kickoff. On paper Navy seems to be a slight favorite, but the Old Lin ers are usually at their best against teams of nation-wide fame, and may come through with the victory. Maryland's upset victories over Yale in the past will keep the future admir als from being overconfident, but Navy's strong defense will give the Liners plenty to worry about. Both teams will present sev eral stars of the first magnitude with Lou Kirn leading the Tars, and Krajcovie, Berger, Chal mers, Wood, and May heading the Maryland array. Maryland has come out on the long end of the score in its first two games but in neither has it looked particularly impressive. Washington college went down 13-0 and Virginia succumbed after a hard struggle 7-6 when Charlie May scored after a 60 yard drive and Chalmers booted the extra point. Play by Play Account .

Most of the other teams will meet Conference opponents, although Tulane plays Spring Hill, V. M. I. plays Citadel, and V. P. I. takes on the Davidson Wildcats in non-conference con tests. In view of Florida's 34-0 win over State last Saturday, the Tar Heel-Gator scrap this afternoon takes on added interest and promises to. be one of the best battles of the day. In winning over the Wolfpack, Florida played some fine football, but we still think the Tar Heels should come out on the long end of the score. Some of the 'Gators' most effective plays last week were through guard, but they will have a far more difficult time running through Ellis Fysal and Henry Mclver than they did Le Forte and Duke of State. Caro lina will be out to get in the Con ference win column and should do so by something like six points. ' Duke meets Villanova in North Carolina's big game, and will probably come out on the short end of the score. The Blue Dev ils defeated Harry Stuhldreher's club last fall and he will send his boys on the field today to wipe out that blot decisively. Villa nova by two or three touch downs. ' In one of the biggest intersec tional games' of the day, Georgia will meet Albie Booth and his Yale Bulldogs at New Haven. The boys from Athens opened their season last week against V. P. I. with a 40-0 win and, with that in mind, we pick the South erners to win again. Roberts and Downes are leading a pow erful crew this year, and are shooting for national honors. We call this one Georgia by a touch down. Other intersectional battles will see Georgia Tech against Carnegie Tech, Vanderbilt against Ohio State, Auburn a gainst Wisconsin, and Mary land against Navy. The South ern teams will be the underdogs in all of these games, although we are rather hesitant in picking Ohio-State over Vandy. Vandy has a powerful team, but Amos Leonard will be missing from the line-up and the Qhio State boys trounced Cincinnati 67-6 last week. - '. .. In the set-up games of the day Alabama will take its . exercise against Mississippi Aggies, Tu lane will meet Spring Hill, and Tennessee will play Mississippi Alabama should win by about four or five touchdowns (maybe more) over the Aggies, while Tu lane can garner something like 40 points against Spring Hill without startling anyone. Miss issippi is still trying to recover from a pair of healthy lacings handed it by Tulane and Ala bama and should be an easy vic tim for the Vols. ;Five or six Play by 'Gator Ends Expected to Give Carolina Stiff Competition; Rogero Leads. Florida Back field Threat ; Heels to Use New Shift. N When the University of North Carolina attempts to tame Flor ida this Saturday at Gainesville, it must look out for the treacher ous lunges the 'Gators will un doubtedly employ in their en deavor to keep the Tar Heels from stepping upon them. Chuck Collins" aggregation has lost to Vanderbilt, 15. to 0, while Florida was swamping North Carolina State, 34 to 0, under an avalanche of touch downs, but the comparative merits of the two teams can not be based on last Saturday's scores as Vanderbilt is con sidered several touchdowns bet ter than the Raleigh contingent". t Florida and Carolina use the wide-open Notre Dame aggres sive style of football, both Coaches Bachman of Florida and Collins of Carolina being former South Bend men and proteges of the late Rockne. A great open attack coupled with a lot of passing is anticipated. Buck, Hughes, Fountain, Silsby, and Rogero are the luminaries of the Florida back field, the latter being especially adapted to open field running of J a high order. Two outstanding ends in Cherry and Hall are ex-1 pected to bother Carolina in run- J ning the flanks. Carolina's line is stout and tough and compares favorably with any in the conference. Fysal and Underwood have been outstanding so far this season at guard and tackle. Johnny Branch is not incapacitated in the least from the Vanderbilt imbroglio, and with this dimuni tive ground gainer in the back field Florida has to be wide awake at all time. Besides being a triple threat, Branch supplies the mental hazard for the other team wfiich is an asset to have on any football squad. Rip Slusser. Stuart Chandler, and Johnny f Phipps comprise the first string backfield with Pea cock, Lasjsiter, and White being capable reserves. A capacity crowd is expected at the battle. Florida must win to keep in the running for the prized gonfalon of the South ern Conference, while the Tar Heels face the same situation. touchdowns might possibly cov er this. , State and Clemson clash this afternoon, and anything might happen before its all over. Both look pretty weak, but we pick State to win by a touchdown. Another game between two poor ains wiU see Virginia playing its last game on Lambeth field against Sewanee. We pick the Cavaliers to win by one touch down, but it wouldn't surprise us to see the Tigers go home with a victory. L. S. U. looks good for a one touchdown win over Billy Laval's Gamecocks, although the South Carolinians will probably offer quite a bit of trouble. Kentucky should take W. & L. for its first Conference win of the season, while V. P. I. and the Citadel should win over Davidson and V. M. I. respectively. Maybe the Democrats will win next time, if" the boys don't cut loose and act like Democrats. Florida Times-Union. CAROLINA vs. FLORIDA Play Account Direct From Field in Gainesville agC Ir.rf THIRTY PLAYERS LEAVER GAME Team Run Through Long Drill on Pass Defense in Prepara tion for Florida Game. Some thirty-odd determined Tar Heels crowded into busses Thursday night and left for Ra leigh to catch the Seaboard Air Line train to Gainesville. A crowd of enthusiastic followers gave the team a rousing send- off from Swain hall. The squad arrived at Gainesville yesterday at 12:00 and then they held a workout yesterday afternoon on the Florida field. Thursday afternoon Coach Collins put his charges through a stiff workout. After having a lengthy signal drill with threa full teams taking part in this, he sent for two frosh elevens and had them run the 'Gator aerial attack against his two teams. He evidently expects to have the 'Gators using the over head attack today. The var sity teams were adept at knock ing down the passes. After a short scrimmage this first team took the offense and ran a few plays against the frosh. Coach Collins was not entirely pleased with the spirit of the first team's work Wednes day and he saw a much improved (Continued on page two) The Shoe Of The SEASON We have just received this sturdy built Moccasin type Oxford built especially for us by one of the largest shoe manufacturers.
