Thanks to an old established act, as
dependable for drama, thrills, and
the triumph of virtue as was "East
Lynne" back In the gas-lit days, the
Yankees were booming along the vic
tory trail today, possessors of their
ninth straight world series triumph.

on the way to breaking up an act
that flourished through the poet
Benson championship struggles of
loae, 1027 and 1928, the team of
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig rose In
their might, emote the traiutgrensor,
and shattered the morale of the Chi
cago Cuba In the opening game of
Vie world series.
At the end of a stormy day, next
to the poorest In the matter of At
tendance a Yankee world series ever
has known, a day that started In a
rain storm and ended in glistening
sunshine, the score stood la to 6 In
favor of the American league cham
pions. But the final score told
nothing of the gawdy return to world
series play of the heroes of 1037 and
1928, when the Yankees won two
world titles from the Pirates and
Cardinals In eight successive games.
It was Ruth, Just recovered from
a mild attack of appendicitis, who
marched to the plate In the fourth
Inning with the Cubs lendir.g 2 to 0,
and Earle Combs, the first Yankee
Bush had allowed on base, resting
on second through the medium of
a base on balls and an infield out.
The Babe smashed, a long single
to right and the giy-halred Ken
tucky colonel raoed home. Lou Oeh
rlgh tramped to the plate. The
count reached three and two. lie
laid Into the deciding pitch, a
"screw" ball on the outside corner,
and belted It far on a line Into the
deep reaches of the right field
stands. The Yankees led, 3 to 3, and
the game might Just as well have
ended there.
That home run smash unsettled
Bush, king pin of the Cub survers,
and shattered the morale of a team
that had pranced Into battle, cocky
and confident to grab a quick two
run lead off hurley Charley Ruffing,
beat of the Yankee right hand pitch
ers. Bush lost his control and his
stuff. Hie mates faltered behind
him. And the game wore on to its
Inevitable conclusion, a dreary, point
less sort of duel, like two friends
boxing for the fun of It. Ruth and
Gohrigh, their work done, faded Into
the background of the general
scramble.
Only 41,469 spectators, far under
the record for world serlee attend
ance set at 63.000 by the Yankeea In
1916, braved a chilly rainy morning
and the decreasing showers that de
layed Vie start of the opening game
lft minutes, to see the highly favored
Yankees tear away to an Impressive
start.

CONNIE MACK TO REVAMP
A'S BASEBALL MACHINE
(By Oayle Talbot, Associated Press 8porU Writer.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. (P) Connie Mack, venerable pilot of the Phil
adelphia Athletics, has started tearing apart the great baseball machine
he drove to three American league flags In 1930. '30 and '31, and the
Chicago Whit Box, at the same time, have thrown their resources Into
the market for players of proved ability
In on, of the most startling deals i
of recent baseball history. Manager
Mack announced last night he had
sold outfielders Al Simmons ana
George (Mule) "Haas, and Inflelder
Jimmy Dykes to the White Sox for
cash.
The price paid for the three stars
was not announced, but Sox officials
said It was the largest amount of
cash they ever handed out and prob
ably the greatest sum which ever
exchanged hands in the American
league. It was estimated the Sox
put around 915(XO0O on the barrel
head.
Whether the sale presaged a gen
eral breaking up of the present Ath
letic team, Connie Mack would not
say. The consensus was, however,
that the 67-year-old leader had some
thing of the sort In mind.
Just IT years ago he wrecked a
glamorous team because It had be
come satiated with victory. At that
time he sent one of his greatest
stars, Eddie Collins, to the White
Sox and Collins became the corner
stone of a championship club at Chi
cago. Where Mack contented himself
with the bare announcement of the
deal, Sox officials were less reticent.
"It means we are through trying
to develop a winning team with rook
ies," said Secretary Harry Qrablner.
"This Is only the beginning. We are
out to got the players we want."
While Haas and Dykes are consid
ered valuable playors, Simmons Is the
big gun In the deal. Possessed of a
nine-year major league batting av
erage of nearly .380. he la recognized
as one of the game's greatest stars.
He Is one of the most feared batters
In ths big leagues, a ball hawk In
left field, and withal, a player any
manager would welcome with open
arms.
During the last season he finished
with an average around .333, but he
still Is comparatively young and
should prove a sound Investment for
the Sox. Ha waa the batting cham
pion of the American league both
In 1030 and 1031.
The Junior high school football
team and Coach Ray Henderson will

tomorrow evening at 3:30 o'clock

Brown, guards; Cave, center; Evans,

SOUTHERN OREGON NORMAL,
Ashland, Bept. 39. (Spl.) Coach
Howard A. Hobson, new grid mentor
from Benson Tech of Portland, la
working his Southern Oregon Normal
school vsrslty squad overtime In prep
aration for what promises to be the
hardest game of the 1932 season Sat
urday when he takes his team south
to meet the California Aggies In a
night game at Sacramento.
With less than two weeks practice
Hobson Is faced with the task of
moulding a team Into a new system
of play and getting it Into condition
to meet an eleven which has already
held two coast conference teams, the
Ucla Bruins and Navy Bill Ingram's
Bears, to low scores.
The finding of two combinations of
ball carriers has eased the precarious
backfleld situation a good deal.
Claude Hlnea, sensational negro half
back, and Bud Jones, formerly of
Orant high of Portland, were ex
pected to carry the brunt of the
work, but the finding of Tommy Mc-
Klttrlck. who burned up the Willam
ette valley prep school league at Eu
gene and George York, ex-Benson
Tech fullback, Hobson now has two
threats to carry out his running at
tack.
Jim Crockett Is handling the quar
terback lng job and Cliff McLean,
flashy basketball star also of Benson,
Is working at the remaining halfback
post.
'8wedc" Anderson, the great line
man from Med ford, has been shifted
from his old position at tackle to
guard, where he Is teamed with
Dwlght Patterson, also a veteran.
The tackles are Mike Balkovlc, a re.
liable letterman, and another Benson
man, Harvey Oakes, who stands stx-
four and weighs considerably over
200 pounds.
Bob Patterson and Frank Sapp, both
veterans, have Hobson 's end problems
In their hands while Con Mahoney,
a fighting 160 -pounder, has the edge
on the center Job.
Roan Oreen. another of "Prink'
Calllson's proteges, back In the state
championship days. Is playing a whale
of a game at guard and Is a constant
threat to step Into one of the first
string assignments.
Frisco McOale of Seattle and J-k
Olbbs of this city fought a 10-round
draw at the Armory In the main
event of last night', boxing bill. Mc- ;
Dale showered Olbbs with lesther j
most of the way, and In a couple of
rounds gave the local entry a boxing
lesson. Two or three times, Olbbs
missed the slippery colored gent three
feet with what be Intended to be a
knockout punch. Some of the fans
thought McOale won the fracas. Mc
Oale landed oftener, but Gibbs hit
ths hardest punches. The negro was
an expert at covering up and stop
ping licks with his elbows.
Circus Red Howe and Turkey Red
Hansaker clouted to a draw. Circus
Red outweighed his foe and cut the
Turkey's eye in the second round.
Hsnsaker finished In a rush and was
peppering his foe lively at the finish
of the six-round affair.
Charles Norman of Medford slap
ped down Lloyd Barkdull In the sec
end round for the count. Cort
Mitchell was given a technical knock
out over Jack Slmms, and Prank Nel
son was knocked out by Emerson
Babb In the second. The preliminary
winners had little opposition, and the
first three fights were short.
The main event, however, waa a
fast, furious and scientific engage
ment, and was rated by many as the
best battle of the year. )
