SEE MAUL MONARCH Pittsburg, Oct. 4 --Babe Ruth, a dis- tinguished visitor to Pittsburg for the World Series, had two interesting cal- lers yesterday. Paul and Lloyd Wan- er, star outfielders of the Pirates, sent up their cards to the Big Bam at the hotel where the Hugmen are making their headquarters. The Waner brothers, who are much smaller than their baseball perform- ance would suggest, seemed even more diminutive when they looked up to greet the huge Ruth. The picture struck the home-run hit- ter at once. "Why, they're just kids," he said, as he blinked his amazement. "If I was that little I'd be afraid of getting hurt." ' ADGIE BEATS SOLOMON Philadelphia, Oct. 4.--Matt Adgie, Philadelphia, slugged his way to a 10-round judges' decision over "King" Solomon of Panama at the Arena last night. Solomon carried the bout to the Philadelphian in the earlier rounds and appeared to have the better of the battle for the first six rounds. In the seventh round Adgie came back strongly and continued to pile up points until the ed. Adeie weigh- Yesterday's. RAIN PUTS STOP TO MEMORIAL GAME Philadlepliia, Pa., Oct. 4.--Rain ended the Eddie Plank memorial baseball game between the Phillies and Athletics at the end of the sixth inning yeserday, the final score standing 1 to 0 in favor of the Phil- lies, Despite the overcast skies more than 5000 fans were on hand, Eddie Plank Jr., attired in a mili- tary uniform, stepped to the mound and tossed the first ball. He is 11 years old and a siudent at the Man- assas Military School, Virginia, The proceeds from the game will be used to help pay for the Eddie Plank Memorial Gymnasium at Get- tyshurg College. Tay STAR OUTFIELDER OF PIRATES MAY NOT START IN SERIES Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 4--Mazen (Ki- ki) Cuyler, star outfielder and storm- centre of the Pirates, is not expected to start in the World Series or take part in the games, unless a sudden emergency arises, in spite of the pro- tests of many Pittsburg fans and the feeling amohg experts that the team's outer works would be strengthened by Kiki's" presence. While declining to discuss Cuyler's case during the past few days, Man- ager Bush indicated that he will stand pat on the line-up thht clinched the pennant, with Clyde Barnhart holding down left field. The Cuyler episode is one of the strangest in baseball, involving differ- ences with Bush's disciplinary action that included a $50 fine for failing to slide to second hase one day, and later internment on the bench for the play- er, who was a world Series hero in 1925 and rated among the game's greatest outfielders. It has split the fans into two 'camps, one pro-Cuyler and the other pro-Bush. The hub of the dispute is under- stood to hinge ahout the outfielders superstition against batting second, where Bush placed him. "Kiki", who had baated third before, acquired a "mental hazard" when moved up a notch, He struck a slump, argued with Bush and then warmed the bench, so the story goes, but there are many conflicting versions. GLENNA COLLETT LEADS ENTRY IN QUALIFYING ROUND Miss Glenna Collett, Providence, R.I., former United States golf champion, scored another Canadian triumph Monday when she set the pace and finally led a brilliant entry through the qualifying round of the Canadian Women's open golf cham- pionship at the Lambton Golf and Country Club. Miss Collett returned a card of 77 for the initial test of the tournament. The entry for the championship included 12 players who qualified in the recent United States champion- ship at Cherry Valley, and repre- sents the strength of golf on the American Continent.

Series in 1925 in Mud and Mist at Forbes Field -- Kramer Likely to Pitch the Opener for the National Leaguers > Pittsburg, Oct, 4.--If there is anything in. a weather omen, it seems that the Pirates may have the advantage on the Yankees in their battle for ithe world's baseball championship The swashbuckling National Leag- uers captured the World Series of 1935 in the mud and mist of For- Pes Field, and it appeared yester- day, as a steady rain turned this battleground into a quagmire, that the elements -again were , casting favorable signs toward the Corsairs. But the prospect for the opening day is for brighter and fairer weu- ther, Monday was dark and' gloomy as the rival clan gathered for base- ball's classic, and the game's white- haired overlord, Commissioner Landis, arrived to give the scene a preliminary survey. Howéver, there was anything but a dark and gloomy touch to the spirits of the wallop- ing Yankees, who reached the scene of the conflict yesterday, or the ai- titude of the Pirates, reassembled again after their gfeat fight for the National League pennant, The opening game, it seems "is- sured, will be a struggle between ithe two righthand pitching aces of the contending teams, Renny (Ray) Kremer, the California comet, for the Bucs, and Waile Charles Hoyt, the Brooklyn undertaker, for the Yankees. Smith, of the Pirates, and Collins of the Yankees will be the opposing catchers.

LITTLE WORLD SERIES RESUMES TODAY Toledo, Oct. 4.--This city has gone baseball mad and record crowds arc expected to attend the fourth. fifth and sixth Little World Series games between the Toledo Mud Hens and the Bisons from Buffalo on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With the American Association champions leading by 2 to 1, pros- pects are bright that the Mud Hens will turn back the International League champions. ' I"ans in Toledo cannot understand what kind of strategy kept Outfield- er Joe Kelly on the bench when Bui- falo used right-hand pitchers, and put him in .as a regular when the Bisons trotted out a lgft-hanyder. Kelly "murders" righthand hurling, but isn't nearly so effective against southpaw slants. Manager Clymer of the Bisons claims that his team, having hit its stride, will sweep the Mud Hens aside in the remaining games, five wins being necessary to decide the championship. Clymer maintains that the Bisons arc one of the best minor league teams of all time, but many experts do not agree with him. On their- showing to date thev are Forbes Field no nearly as strong as the Toronto to shelter. ile has been the mainstay | Internationals were last year, when they won five ganies in a row from the Louisville Colonels.

Officials of the Maroon club denied on Monday that Smith had been secured by Mont- real, while similar dénials came from Ottawa. However, the Maroons were non- committal when questioned regarding negotiations for the transfer of Hooley Smith here. It has been known for over a year that the Montreal owners were keen to obtain Smith from Otta- wa. Last year, it is reported, Mont- real had offered $15,000 for the scrappy right winger, but at that time Ottawa claimed he was not for sale. Since then, it is known, Montreal made fur- ther efforts to secure Smith, but with- out success. Smith himself has intimated that he would not be with the Senators this winter, which lends color to the rumor form, though he is barred from playing for the first month of the season, fol- lowing a suspension meted out by President Frank Calder of the N.-H.L. as an aftermath of the wild playoff games at Ottawa last spring between the Senators and Boston, The Maroons are expected to take vastly different form this coming win- ter as a result of the wholesale sign- ing of amateurs and minor pro, league players and trades which are in view. These trades are expected to bring at least three seasoned players to the Maroon camp. The roster of the local club now numbers some 25 players, and a decided pruning operation by Manager Eddie Gerrard is in sight. Broadbent, Noble, Dinsmore and others are believed to he on the mar- ket, while a number of the other play- ers will be farmed out to minor lea- gue clubs, Star Outfields In World Series P§isburg, Oct. 4--Two of the greatest as well as the most color- ful outfield trios in baseball will roam the outlying precincts for the Yankees and Pirates in the World Series. The Yankees have the uncompar- able "Babe'"' Ruth, just finished ear. ning his $70,000 salary by shatter- ing nis own home.run record, but the Pirates have the famous Waner brothers, hitters and, ball-hawks ex- taordinary.

How They Compare. Taking the two outfields as a whole, the Pirates' trio on the ree- ords has a decided defensive advan- tage, whereas the Yankee combina- tion, chiefly due to Ruth, packs a much heavier long-distance punch. There is basis for a merry argument over the rival right fielders Paul Wanér and Ruth. Paul has a 23- point edge on the "Babe" in straight hitting. He also has a big- ger collection of doubles and triples to help offset the "Babe's'" home- run supremacy. There is another margin in Paul's favor, in fielding, where he hgs nearly 100 more putouts and I4 more assists than the "Big Bam." Both are great "team" players, but the "Babe's" all-round influence, his constant threat at bat and the prospect of his breaking a ball game on short nofice cannot be measured in figures. There is only one Ruth, all observers agree. This is the "Babe's" eighth World Series and Paul's first. PIRATES EXPECTED TO HAVE EDGE ON NEW YORK YANKEES! Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 4--With the peppery and aggressive Earl Smith slated to do the bulk of the work be- hind the bat, the Pirates are expected Ly most critics to have an edge over New York in World Séries catching. Smith not only has a better defen- sive record than either of Huggins" re- gulars, Pat Collins and Grabowski, but he is regarded as a morc danger- ous threat at bat. Earl's fiery spirit cost the Pirates his services for a month of the league campaign, during which he was sus- pended and fined $500 for attacking Dave Bancroft, manager of the Bra- ves. Smith has always been talkative and aggressive. "Oil" got much of his baseball education in the John Mec- Graw school. The players credit him with getting the "goats" of "Bucky" Harris and "Goose" Goslin in the 1925 series, which the Pirates won from the Senators. Johnny Gooch, Smith's alternate, is a capable receiver, but he lacks Smith's experience. Collins, a heavy hitter and steady backstop, has done the bulk of the New York team's work, but Pat's slow- ness afcot is a handicap. Grabowski and Bengough, who has seen compara- tively little action since breaking an arm over a year ago, are younger and more aggressive.

Gains Wins From 1 oledo Boxer Toronto, Oct. 4.--Champion Larry Gains of 'the Canadian heavyweights, turned back another United States in- vasion last night, but the knockout punch he was said to have developed did not make its appearance. Gains went ten hard rounds to defeat Joe Kohman, of Toledo, in the main bout of the Shamrock A.C. show at the Arena Gardens. Lohman offered much stronger opposition than any of Gains' former opponents here, and the bout developed into a contest considerably Letter" and faster than the average heavyweight match produces. Gains very decidedly had the advan- tage in weight and reach, to say no- thing of height. ic entered the ring at 193 pounds--13 more than the an- nounced weight of Lohman. He was several inches taller and in the matter of reach there was no comparison, Lohman was afraid neither of Gains' reputation or punches. He was willing to make 1t a toe-to-toe battle at all times, and repeated rallies of that na- ture developed in almost every round. The Toledo boxer, really a light- heavyweight, offered a far cleverer defense than most big men and Gains missed more punches "than a boxer of his ability might be expected to. Duck- ing and head-rolling were the defen- sive measures cmployed by Lohman, and he was an adept at each. Slight turns of the head caused many of Gains' punches to whiz harmlessly past or land without their full force. Gains. Leads Often While missing a great deal, Gains did more of the leading than his op- ponent, and landed far more clean punches. Lohman was never in dis- tress, but he was undoubtedly « out- pointed. Due, perhaps, to the differ- ence in reach, he landed few straight punches, but he connected with plenty of lusty swings and hooks. The bout became better and better as it progressed, In the first couple of rounds there was not a great deal to evoke excitement, although Lohman, distinctly outpointed in these rounds, did come back with a few unexpected attacks. Lohman jarred Gains a little at the start of the third with solid body blows, and by this time the fans were convinced that Gains was in the ring against real opposition. Early in the fourth Lohman ducked a heavy Gains lead, and the Toronto boxer swung around from the force of the blow, Lohman taking advantage of the sit- uation to send home a countering left hook. Lohman made a most impres- sive showing in this round, in which he had a slight advantage. In the fifth round Gains appealed to the referee when Lohman landed an accidental low punch, He was not badly hurt, and the men were mixing it furiously a few second later. The Lardest blow the Canadian champion landed during the bout was in the sixth. Gams sent in a jarring straight leit to the head, and followed behind it with a hard right to the jaw. Loh- man was hurt, but launched a coun- | ter-attack which prevented Gains from following up the advantage. A two- handed assault kept Gains busy de- fending himself for a few moments, BOYS' WINDBREAKERS for .... Dominion Clothing Co. 68 King st. W. Phone 2141 DIAMONDS BURNS JEWELRY STORE 23 Simcoe St. S.
