BOCfTXE BECOMES OPTIMIST
CHICAGO, Aug. 8. (AP)
Knute Rockne has become an
optimist. 1
Rockne, whose prospecta for
winning football teams at Notre
Dame, usually cause him to speak
In melancholy manner before a
season opens, now will "present
a more or less radiant picture of
my prospecta" he told a group of
coaches at the Northwestern uni
versity summer school yesterday.
"Pessimism as applied to foot
ball," Rockne said, "has been
worked to death. It la time to
awing back tbe other way and
accept our problems with a more
cheerful outlook."

Leads Yanks In Slug; Fest
at Opener Yes
terday. ( By WILLIAM J. CHU'MAX)
(AMX-latnl rroae Sports Writer)
With all but two ot the Na
tional league teams In transit
from weat to east yesterday, the
spotlights glare rested upon the
double claah ot the Yankeea and
the Athletics In Philadelphia.
More than 40,000 Quaker City
tana crowded into the park and
countless other thousands lan
guished disappointed In the
streets outside aa the leaders
gained an even-break with tbe
runnere-up In the first two-thirds
ot what some deem a crucial
aeries.
Led by Babe Ruth who hit his
SSth with three on base, the
Yankeea exploded five home Tuns
about the ears ot Athletlo pitch
era In the opening game to win
13 to 1, only to aee the Mack
men run off with the aecond by
4 to 2, leaving Connie Mack's
margin of eleven and one-halt
games unmolested.
The Babe bit his four-run
homer with one out In tbe sec
ond. It waa the Babe's aecond
homer with the basea filled in
successive games and the 12th
such blow of his career.
Roy Sherld deaerred a better
fats In the nightcap, hia second
complete game ot his major
league career of one aeaaon. . He
entered the home halt ot the
eighth with a 2 to 1 lead over
George Earnshaw,. but three hits,
two ot them doubles, and a fum
ble by Laxaert gave the Mackmea
three runs and the game, Connie
Mack seat Boh Grove In to pitch
the ninth Just to remove any
doubt that the game was over.
The Athletics and the Yanks
will close out their current series
with a single - game today and
then repair to the weat for their
final long trip of the season.
At the meeting between tbe In
dians and the Tigers in Cleve
land. Dale Alexander treated him
self to tour hits which helped
the Bengals to halt Cleveland's
rush toward third place with a
14 to 4 victory. Aa a result, the
tribe fell from a tie with the
Browns for the third rung.
Washington defeated the Red
Sox at Bostof by 4 to 2, and the
Browns and the White Sox were
traveling.
The only activity In tbe Na
tional league was at Forbes field
where the Pirates nosed out the
Giants by 4 to 3 In the ninth and
shaved a more or less Inconse
quential half game from the mar
gin ot the Cuba. The Bruins
now top the National field by
seven full contests.

20-Year Old 'Mel' Ott, Boy Mayor Of Swatville
By WM. M. nnAt'CHF.n
NK.t Hrrvlce VYrllrr
Headmaster John J. McQraw
must have rubbed his eyes tour
years ago when a little boy with
a downy chin walked In on him
at the Polo grounda and said,
"Here I am, Mr. Mcdraw, my
name's Melvln Olt, and I'm from
Louisiana."
The other day the aame youth
of tender years but rough waya
with a baseball bat, planted his
Und home run ot the aeaaon,
and lot hla name aloud out In
the chronicles of clout aa leader
ot all the reat. That takea In both
Icaguea, too.
Another Babe Ruth? In a
way, yea, but In many waya, no.
For In Melvln Ott, at 30, we have
the quiet and unassuming person
with affable waya you've read
about In books but seldom see.
Keeps Kyea Down
Polo ground tana go wild when
he belta one Into the bleachers.
but he only touchea hla cap on
his way from the plate to the
bench, and keeps his eyes on the
ground.

of the hundrede of klda, to whom
he Is aa Idol, asked him the oth
er day.
"Tea him yes," chirped up
Fred Llndstrom, Melvln's room'
mats.
And Ott replied, as seriously
as a banker about to turn down
a loan on that 30-acre place:
I don't know. What I'm
hoping la that we don't get Into
any mora alumpa like that one
we had early thla summer.
Ott wore short pants when he
got his first call for league base
ball. He was catching on the
Oretna, La., high school team
when Prealdent Helnemann of the
New Orleans club of the South
ern league sent word he would be
glad t try out Ott along with
the high achool pitcher, Lester
Rouprlch.
Gets Long Pants
Melvln's dad took thla cue and
bought his boy some long trous
ers. But that didn't fool Prexy
Helnemann. He took a aharp
age. Melvln waa then just a little
look at Ott and aaked him hla
shy of 1. Helnemann told both
kids to put on uniforms, how
ever, and watched them.
After a few days, Prexy Helne
mann decided Ott was too young
to break In at once. He sent him
to Patterson. La., where the mil
lionaire lumberman, Harry Wil
liams, had a semi-pro team and

In the aummer ot 1933 Will
iams went to Europe, and on the
way dropped off to see McOrsw,
telling him what a sweet ball
player be had for him, and Mo-
Oraw told Williams to send him
on. -
Thought It a Joke
Ott saya he thought somebody
waa playing a Joke on him when
he received a telegram asking
him to report to McUraw Sep
tember 1, and ha tore up the mes
sage and thought no more about
it. When Williams returned from
Europe, there was young Mr. Ott
