The two heroes of the American \ e champions' third: straight vic- tory over the Pirates wrapped an arm about each other's shoulders, forgetful even of the daily battle for the hot water showers, and talked the situation over in the clubhouse. Around them clustered and pranced the rest of the Yankee crew, all more or less heroes in the win that just about wafted the Pirates out of ' the championship struggle. "Babe," the lean thought for a while you were going to - let me down. Homer--né nothing. Then, Bam, right down the middle, and game was in." ' Just Had to Do it "Shoosh," growled the Bambino, "I had to hit a homer. I was sore; no hits yesterday and three foozies today, and then Mike Cvengros tossed that curve down the alley. Now I'm satis- fied, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got another tomorrow." Grateful to the whole team for the brilliant support that helped him retire the first 22 Pirates to face him without a hit and carry on to a three-hit vic- tory, Pennock insisted that every man on tbe nine shares in the plaudits tos- sed his way. "The way the gang played was mar- velous," Herb announced. "No pitcher ever got better support. I'm mighty grateful. Modestly, Pennock said that he "mixed them up" today to subdue the Bucaneers, and for a time threat- ened' the Pirates with the first no-hit shutout in series history. "I had good control," he added. "The ball went just where I wanted it. I had good luck, too." And the smile that went with the declaration that the ball was obeying his commands, and the answering grins on the faces of his team-mates indicated that when the vetéran southpaw has "good con- trol" a three-hit victory is no surprise. n NewYork at the ABERDEEN HOTEL 17 West 32nd St., near 5th Ave.' Close to Penn, Station -- accessible to everything!

U. of C. that their amateur cards be taken up. According to evidence offered at the O.S.A. meet- ing, Deanack played in two leagues during the summer months under' dif- ferent names, and was the holdér of two amateur cards. He played in a senior league under his own name and mm a~junor loop under the name of Steve Deanack. Waterfall is alleged to have played in two senior leagues, one under his own name and in the Other under the name of George Wil- se. The protest lodged by St. Cathar- ines against the playing field at Brant- ford was not dealt with, and no action will be taken until the report of the umpire who handled hte game is re- 'ceived. The Garden City representa- tives claim that the grounds at Brant- ford were in anything but playing shape on the day they suffered a 7 to 6 reverse. In the meantime, the teams will clash. in a third game as St. Cath- arines won hte second game 15 to 0. The third game is to be' played in Hamilton on Saturday afternoon. held here last FIFIELD-LEWIS MATCH ATTRACTS MUCH INTEREST Toronto, Oct. 8--If public interest can be taken as a true indication, the George Fifield-Doug Lewis welter- weight championship match at the Arena Gardens next Wednesday night will attract the largest crowd of the year. Fifield, the champion, and Lewis stand out as by far the best welter- weights in Canada, and the fact that it has taken so long to match the pair has added interest to the match. Until this week Fifield has refused to meet Lewis. His. explanation of this is that he has not been in the best of con- dition when challenged before, He ad- mits now that he is at his best, and will have no excuses to offer if beaten by Lewis. Nine straight victories by knockouts established Lewis as a better than or- dinary boxer. The way in which he outclassed Young Firpo after being beaten by that boxer in their first bout leaves the impression that there are few welterweights that can beat him. Matchmaker Playfair Brown is ar- ranging a preliminary card in keeping with that of the last show. VICTORY FOR YANKS TODAY MEANS CASH LOSS TO CLUBS New York, Oct. 7--The winning of today's game by the Yankees, which will mean their second world's cham- pionship and the end of the current series, will also mean a loss in cash of approximately $200,000 to the clubs of the two leagues. This cash sum repr sents the receipts for Sunday's game, which, in the event of a New York victory tomorrow afternoon, woul mean the calling off of the fifth game. Reserved seats and boxes, which have already been sold. out for the fifth game, total $170,000, according to the Yankee management. This, added to the bleacher sale of $30,000, will bring the total to the $200,000 mark. $ J LL oe CRICKET LEAGUE STANDINGS According to the official score sheets received from the club secretaries the following is the final standing in the Toronto and District Cricket Council group in which Oshawa played during the past season: Rawlinson "A" W.L.D.

Deluded by this anciemt theory, idea or superstition, Stanley Harris didn't use Dutch Ruether or Tom Zachary in the 1925 series when Washington played against the clouting Corsairs, on account of it. Almost shuddering at the grave chance he was taking, Miller Hug- ging started Herb Pennock in the third game of the present series, or breeze, as the Yanks have come to call it, and Herb shattered the dope. Pennock upset everything in the way of tradition with the Pittsburg ball club, When the mews reaches Forbes Field that an ' American League left-hander hung cyphers on the necks of the bloodthirsty crew which can rip southpaws apart, the gloom will be deep and the mourn- ing plentiful. N But Facts Are Facts But facts are facts, and Pennock yesterday turned in one of the best world's series games ever pitched. It upholds the statement of Miller Huggins a week ago, when he said dhat Pennock isn't a 'left hander. "He's a pitcher," said Huggins ana the returns prove it. Plenty of ordinary games have, been won by one run, and plenty of world's series games by one run, or rather with one run. Babe Ruth, when he was a pitcher, took a couu- ple that way. But the pitcher opposing Pennock Friday would have needed the spit- ter of Ed, Walsh, the curves of Miner Brown, the speed of a Matty and the craft of a Bender to do it. The Yankee southpaw ace showed himself the craftiesi, smoothest, neatest workman of any of the pit- chers in this series, and a lot of others, too, And but for the smashing greed of his team mates to score a lot of runs in the sevenih inning he might have had a no-hit game in a world's series, which is the farthest morth-- 'the last word-- in a pitcher's ambi- tion. Cooled Off 'in Seve™th The anxiety of the Yanks to run up a lot of runs probably cost Pen- nock a place in the hall of baseball fame. He has one aready for his deeds last year, but if the Yankees hadn't allowed him tq cool off in their savage attack on Lee Meaa- ows in the 'seventh, Herb could have gone on throwing: the deft, merciless, series of cross-fires, cur- ves, fast balls and fade-aways thai baffled the Pirates for seven in- nings. When he went on the mound in the eighth he was cold, and tight- ened up. He hadn't the machine- like precision which had marked his it. Yes, sir--Babe Ruth got his first home run of the *"'Series" in yester- day's World Series at New York. A mighty roar went up from the crowd as he '""waddled" around the sacks. Even hundreds of ball fans and fol- lowers in Oshawa were tickled pink when. they heard the mighty Bam- bino had clouted for the circuit. It just goes to show you that a person does not need to be mighty to be popular. Today is a pretty quiét one as far as sport is concerned in this city. However, with ball games practic- ally every Saturday afternoon and on nearly every night of the Sum- mer season fans can have a good rest over the week-end and thus prepare themselves to turn out and support the Chevrolets when thev meet the winnter of the Brantford- St. Caharines series. This game will likely ha plaved here sometime next week. the date of which is not yet known. In talkine about the modified for- ward pass last night, Coach Shaugh- nessy of McGill areed that in its nresent state. and under the rnles that govern the nroposed play, this method of attact is anife too dan- rarons to be vwsed in closely contest- ad games He helieves, however, that -the nlav ia tha mast genaatinn. al wet tried in Cano2dian football, and he ia anxiana that mora ev- narimentine he dona in an effort tn waka ite intradnetion nnscihlae, The Martin tntnr evnlainad that hig team nrastieed the nlav on onlv ona after. noon. aq it wae degmad inndvigahlae tn devate ton muneh time ta the nase with tha same arainat TTnivergitv of Targntn in tha affine, "Shag dnaon not preeant ariticiam of the forward nace He ballavag, howave= that anly hv pa-anaration oon the Pnlag Cam- thission improve the Canadian game.

At first they don't mind playing on a diamond, no mat- ter what shape it's in but when they lose the game. Oh well, then it's a different story. If St. Kitt"s would have won that game they would work against twenty-one batters, not a one pf whom had been able to hit the ball even moderately hard. Pennock retired the twenty-sec- ond man on a wonderful play by Koenig, but he hadn't his control. The result was that "Big Pie" .Tray- nor nicked him for a. single--a fast grounder between Dugan and Koe- nig--and the spell was broken. Barnhart followed with a long drive, and the hope of a shut-out--- even without the no-hit game honor ---also vanished. The Yanks lay the blame only on themselves. Meadows Pitched Well Theories, superstitions and such things regarding the alleged inabili- ty of the Yanks to hit southpaws al- 80 received a hard jolt in the course of the afternoon. Take the seventh innings. Mead- ows, who really pitched a creditable game--the manner of his undoing will be taken up later--was forced out of the box by a series of happen- ings, such as a single by Lazzeri, another by Coombs, a bad play on the ground ball, and a rattling {wo- bagger by Koenig. It's hard to alibi a two-base hit. But Koenig never should have bev at bat in the seventh. However, Meadows was taken out after Mark's hit, and Cvengros was mominated io pitch against Ruth. » History Repeated Perhaps Donmie Bush never heard of Ruth's hitting against Cvengros. He should have, for he was 'a man- ager in the American League, and there mamagers stick to the fetish business of. knowing things. 3ut it happens that I was pres- ent when "Babe" Ruth a year or ago, 'hit the longest homer-- really the longest that he ever smacked, He did it in the White Sox ball park at Chicago, and the man he did it against was none other than Mike Cvengros, the left-hander Brother Bush seleted to drag the Pirates out of danger yesterday. Perhaps Bush figured the was gone and said to game himself "What's the use?"

That just reminds the writer of that famous "committee room" game which received so much | publicity in the Intercounty Baseball League. The columns around the circuit were hot, Guelph being the main exponent. Jack Dempsey and Tex Rickard engaged in a three-hour conference yesterday, but. neither would reveal the outcome of the "confab." The generally accepted story is that the ex-champion is not satisfied that he is through, and will engage in at least two indoor battles this winter. Dempsey leaves after the World Ser- ies for California. where he will con- tinue light training and be ready to answer Rickard"s call at any time. The former king of the heavyweight The former king of the heavyweights is evasive when questioned as to his intentions, but e leaves the impres- sion that he is working for one more shot at Tunney. The inter-school athletic meet be- tween the Whitby, Bowmanville and Oshawa Collegiate Institutes will likely be held here sometime next week. The committee has not set the date as yet, possibly waiting for the track at Alexandra park to dry up. That heavy rain of late Thursday night and Friday morning, made it a quagmire. In all fairnses to the contestants, the meet pos- sibly could not be held before Tues- day. A fipal meeting of those inter- ested in the erection of Oshawa's new artificial ice arena is to take place today, it is understood and something definite should be taken on the stand. While there is no doubt but what the proposiion will go aead, difficulty is being experienced in having the contracts let. It was expected that this final meeting would take place last night, but for some reaso nor other it did not ma- terialize. It can't take place too soon to satisfy hockey teams and fans as the need of a new rink is felt here more than ever now. It would really be too bad should the Junior O. H. A. management find it necesgary to play the home games of that club over in Whitby. How- ever, under the circumstances it would be much better and the fans would" be better accommodated in te town than they could be at home. No doubt the team would get as good support over in Whitby as it gets at home. There would be more ter- ritory to draw from. Tune in on Pittsburg and one can hear the wails because Donje Bush did not use Hazen Cuyler. Of course, everything would have been differ- ent had Cuyler been used on the Pir- ate team, according to the wailers. One thing is certain, and that is that Messrs. Bush and Cuyler are due to part company. One or the other i3 going to "be out o' there." But the whole Cuyler family and all their Loughran of Philadelphia last night lifted the light heavyweight cham- pionship from Mike McTigue, getting the judges' decision at the end of 15 rounds. The contest was marked by rounds, but there also was much heavy punching. Through the entire bout the vet- eran McTigue crfried the boxing to Loughran, but Tommv cleverly de- fended himself and piled up points. He rocked McTigue a number of times with heavy blows to the head and stomach. In the fourteenth McTigue came out stronger than his ten.year- vounger challenger and drove him around the rine with a furious -bar- rare nf lefts and rights, Tn the fifteenth, when he was ex- pected tn ha tired, McTigue slashed and hanged awav nntil it seemed Longzhran could not last the round.

Reading that article about St. Kitt"s protest of the Branford game jin the latter city, reminds one of that diamond out at Alexandra park that the Guelph boys were forced to play on. It was just as bad at Guelph. It's a wonder Guelph did not protest that game here. Perhaps they knew what they, had to offer in their own back yard. Now that the call for hockey training has been issued hy the Junior O. H. A. management, fans will be uneasy until they see the team on fice. It's always that way. People are very anxious to see the new blood which will likely be in- jected into play this year. That the team is to be entered into th~ Yunior S.P.A. series his winter is gratifying to thd fans in general and it will do the players themselves a world of good especially in regard to getting experience. It should go up to the third or semi-final round at least when the team on paper is consid- ered. Argonauts will not be at full strength for the exhibition game against Queen's. University seniors at Kingston' this afternoon, but Coach Dr. Frank Knight will send a well-drilled team into action, and Argos should give Harry Batstone and company a stern battle. Armour Munroe, ,the best punter on the local team; will be unable to play, but, with Sinclair, Thomas, Chantler and Boadway on the backfield, there is no cause to worry. Any team in the country could use that quartet. Oshawa Collegiate gridders will play their first game of the season at Cobourg next Saturday afternoon and it is expected that a large crowd of followers will make the trip. The local collegiate only plays three games in this group and one of these is at home, so in ordeg to give the team the support it deserves as many fans as possible should make the road trips. The boys are in thé best of shape and should make it mighty interesting in the group race. © There is a strong possibility that the Inter-school athletic meet be- tween Oshawa, Whithy and Bow- manville collegiates which was orig- inally scheduled for Alexandra park Friday but which had to be post- poned dre to the heavy rains, may take place here Tuesday. At first, it is understood. it was billed for CI a 0.B.A.A. was left to the executive, and a resolution was passed endors- ing daylight saving~time for the sea- son of 1928.

CUP FINAL DISPLEASES GUELPH TEAM Guelph, Oct. 8--Consternation reigns in the Taylor Forbes camn as the re- sult of word received from Bobby Muir. secretary of the O F.A. confirm- ing the postponement of the Ontario Cup Final. which was to have been plaved today. Contained in the rules issued an- nualv by the O.F.A., is the clause which gives the Ontario Cup competi- tion precedence over all other leagues, etc. Yet the Robertson charity cup semi-final, a competition confined to the Toronto and District League, is given priority to the Ontario Cup final. As soon as the information concern- ing the postnonement was received here. Tavlor Forbes, throuoh the local district council man, W. Phil Evans, protested. But Bobhv Muir, whilst admittine that the O.F.A. could insist on the Ontario final beine plaved. gave an opinion that it would be vwnwise to cross swords with the T. and D. Jea- gue. over the matter and the feelino nre- vaile in Guelph. that the axe will have to fall severely at the next annual 170% ) meeting of the provincial bodv. for it is anparent that the centralization of officials does not tend to the promo- tion of the game.

He lavished praise on his infield and on the team generally, but didn't foreet to sav a word in commendation of the Pirates.
