After 4-Day Batting

. By WK ST BROOK. PEGLER.
WBW YORK. Sept. 27.?Take the
a^rmce rainfall of your old hotoe
to#n. divide by the square root of
th^ tise of your collar, throw In
yomr lootltfitr*! income tax. and
it'tf plain to be seen that the Yanks
wm win the American League pennant
by Just that much, excepting
odm in four, when leap year gives
an/added twist.
This very simple formula will
obflate much of the figuring on the
backs of old oil stocks, a form of
mdhtal gymnastics that now is
crowding the toddle top for populadty.
There are still so many
*if!p" in the American League situatid|i
that, frankly, nobody but a
^ chartered accountant can say exactly
when the pennant will be "in"
fog the Yanks, and who can understand
an accountant anyway?
I Yanka I?-nad-Outera.''
fhe Yanks have three games to
play with the Athletics and one
wl|h the Red Sox ?that's certain.
They have refused to play off a
postponed game with the Senators
The Indians have Just four games?
alfwith the White Sox in Chicago,
w^o have been soft as homemade
msrlngue for the Indans this season.
If \he Indians win all four, accordln|
to the bureau of agriculture,
thj Yanks must win three out of
fo^r to win the pennant. Or something
like that.
|f the Yanks were not such inant-outers?but
that's like saying.
"1$ only the Swedes wouldn't talk J
SWfede." The Yanks are in-andoiAers.
They were "in" yesterday
w|en they took that hysterical
from the Indians, and they
w^re "out" when Urban Shocker.
th?ir favorite Jinx, called at the
Pdlo Grounds, accompai^ed by the j
8tf Louis Browns, for a series of
on) game only.
( ike a blue-whiskered reformer
at, a first ward rally, this Shocker,
the old spoil-party, sat In on the
Yghks' victory combination "tut
tutting" the home boys for nine
loflg Innings, and the ball game was
a lotal loss by the score of 2 to o.
Ellerhe. of the Browns, tripled In
the first inning, and Oeorge Sisler
smashed Harry Harper for a homer
to the center field wall, scoring the
tWb runs. And Shocker Just pitched
al^ng steadily, depending much on
hia excellent outfield and the admirable
Sisler at first for putouts
when it was a question of putouts
or runs.
? Sharker Polsoa to llafmri.
Shocker Is poison to the Yankees j
and always has been, like Dickie
K#rr, of the White Sox. Shocker
held them to five hits and poisoned
B^be Ruth so badly that the Bam. a
hero but yesterday, slid back into
hla custom-built batting slump
without a single hit In three
chfcnces. On the Babe's fourth trip
to . the plate, in the ninth inning
w?h t wo on and two out. and the |
early shadows of Eastern standard
time darkening the scene. Shocker
peeled back his face in a sardonic
grin at the futile Bambino as he
.sttfod there waggling hjs stick?and
deliberately passed him. flllirV the
bases. Passing Babe Ruth to get
at-<Bob Meusel is like Jumping to escape
a fire in a tall building. But
Shocker's parachute^flapped open on
the way down and Meusel, with
twenty-eight home runs to his
cradit and a hatting average tne
siae of Austria's national debt, filed
oat to center field.
It was a bold way to win a ball
g?me. but Shocker won and that's
hip answer.
There were no more than 6.000
citizens present at this anti-climax
to the masterpiece of yesterday, and
thair faint and feeble huzras
weren't even worthy echoes of the
continuous roar that beat against
Organ's Bluff and surged bacK
across the field when the Yanks and
Indians were fighting for the last
gaem of their series.

Maryland Prep
Test With Big^
Coach Byrd Sees Buncl

Prepare for
, i
* ?
By JACK KYK.
Some days ago when the first
call for football practice was Issued
It was announced that Maryland
University had the best football
prospects In many years. It
now develops that this Is a fortunate
*tate of affairs for Coach
Curly liyrd and that an exceptionally
good team will be necessary
tp survive the schedule
maenad out for the College rarkers
Just to satisfy his curiosity concerning
the Rutgers eleven, against
which Capt. "Untx" Brewer will
lead his men Saturday. Ilyrd hopped
a train last Friday and debarked at
New Brunswick.
While Rutgers was crushing
Lrslmis by a score of 33 to o, Ilyrd
sat M a distant part of the stands
and took copious notes. His observations
were something on this
order:
"Thought Rutgers had a heavy
team last season, but this one
looks like the elephant parade in
the circus.
That 250-pound tackle ought to
be pinched for exceeding the
weight limit
"Fullback looked like a giant
last season, but now resembled
Johnny Buff at a convention of
heavyweight pugs." And so on ad.
infinitum.
Rotifer. Are Whoppers.
Immediately after the game Ilyrd
beat it for home to give the boys
the benefit of all this cheering Information.
"They are certainly whoppers."
said the Maryland mentor, "a?d are
going to be a>' hard bunch to lick.
I*ess optimistic? No. We d'>n't let
things like that worry lis a bit.
A game is a game, anil all you can
do is to play your best and accept)
the result without a kick. That's'
what We are going to do Saturday.
You know we have a pretty husky
siuad ourselves." V
News from the Maryland camp
this wee.k has been mlphiy scarce.
Sawing wood and saying nothing
set mi to be the order >f the day.

seem to have reversed the usiial I
order of things. The general idea
is to open with a few e.,sv battle*
and gradually work up to "the hard
ones.s Hut the College Parkers open !
with a man's sistd game, and, not
satisfied with that, take on the
gigantic Syracuse eleven ?>n the
following Saturday. Willie Meelian
Is said to have-only six 2'to pounders
on his big Orange machine this
season.
Have a limit Will Vale. Too.
After these two "practice gamea,"
the next three weoks are light by I
comparison. In November the liyrd- j
men face what is really their biggest
game of the season, journeying I
to New Haven to tie up with S'ale. I
Judging from advaticc report?. th? I

THREE CASUAL!
SCRIMMAGE ON
Three casualties marked the sea-,
son's first scrimmage yesterday or
A1 Exendine's Georgetown football/
squad . Team A managed to score
twice, while Team R shoved over
one touchdown in a short battle in
which Johnny McQuade, A1 Leary.
and 'Tug" DuFour. one of the most I
promising candidates for the quarterback
berth, were sent to the
showers with minor injuries.
Leary, who took part in many of j
the games last fall, found himself j
at the bottom of a heap of youthful
asp.rants for regular berths, who j
showed no consideration of the fact I
that the little fellow is a veteran J
of three years. After r. little firstaid
application, however, he was'
able to leave the field* McQuade's j
progress around one of the ends was
stopped by a husky freshman, and I
the sturdy halfback was at the j
doctor's last evening to find if his I
nasal appendage was mill intact.
Yesterday marked the first appearance
of Rill Kenyon. a South
Atlantic end, and Wertz, a punter
who should give Capt. Jack Flavin
a run for punting honors. Wcrts.
who reported yesterday, donned a
uniform for the first tim^ yesterday.
He hails from Asbury, N. J.. and
weighs in at 186 pounds. Head

College Parkers
Hard "Battle.
repeat their victory of 1921 over
Syracuse. When the College Parkers
downed the Orange last season
10 to 7, they gave the dope one of
the worst upsets of the year. .
Such a heavy schedule may have j
its disadvantages, but a good per- j
centage of victories against the big j
teams 'would give the Byrdhien a
very prominent place on the football
map.
Georgetown will have no competition
in opening the local football
season Saturday, as the start at
Gallaudet has been delayed by *h$
lateness with which school bqgatwThe
Kendall Greeners will be He
Saturday, instead of playing Camp
Humphreys, and will launch their
season next week with Franklin J
and Marshall at Lancaster. With
Maryland, Catholic and George
Washington away from home, the j
Blue and Gray will be the *ole ^
drawing car for the home fans
in their clash with Lebanon Valley.
Charley Outlaw, renowned spell- i
binder for the "Golden Tornaio, ,
passed through Washington recent- ^
ly on his way home from New York,
where he made final arrangements 1
for the Georgia Tech-Penn State I
game at the Polo Grounds. His ,
| stay in the Capital was brief, t'lt (
1 it gave him an opportunity to sing (
j the prasises of the Atlanta team.
"Just as strong this year as iajt. * <
he , avers, "despite the fact that (
i Flowers. Fincher and UatUrinan
are gone. With the freshman rul<;
in effect. Coach Alexander already ?
! knows what his team is going to i
be.' 1
The freshman rule, according to j
this ballyhoo artist, is very wel!
ccme at Georgia Tech. On tne i
yearling team this year are broth- j
ers of Bill Fincher. All-American t
ta*-kle, and Carpenter, the star I
tac kle of 1917. They will be reai'.y <
to graduate to the varsity eleven ?
ntxt season, profiting by the thor- t
ough coaching reeclvtd this year. *
Indications that Georgetown is
going to be many per cent stronger I
than last year doesn't upset the j
Tech supporters at all. In fact, they 11
claim to be highly pleased. i
"We hope they come down with a \
whale of a team." said Mr. Outlaw,^ I
"and give us a good battle. George- 1
town is mighty popular in Atlanta.
We like the team and we like Exen- J
dine. In fact, we "have been partial j
to Indians ever-since Guyon played j
with us."
As an indication of the kind of
support given the "Golden Tornado" j
In its own State, it is announced \
that a special train will transport ' \
500 persons to New York for the |
Penn State game. Heading the dele- j ,
gation will be the governor of the t
State and the mayor of Atlanta. <
Booms for the whole gang have ( ,
been reserved at the Pennsylvania I y
Hotel. #

i
__ 1
i Coach Albert Exendine devoted con- '
siderable time to the light-haired
| lad after the scrimmage. Johnnie i
I Quinn. who participated in most of j
I the major melees last fall, arrived *
from Maine yesterday. Quinn is a
tackle, and while weighing but 182
pounds. should give some of the .
I "giants" of the squad a stiff battle j
for a regular berth.
"Pauly" Byrne, the old Oonzaga i
! flash, impressed the coaches with
j his defensive work at fullback on \
j T^am A. Although a little fellow, ,
Byrne reminds one of Johnnie Mc- ]
Quade in the way he hits the line. ,
Yesterday the local boy scored the ,
I first touchdown. while Captain \
I Jack Flavin hurled over the second.
Livers, fullback on the 1919 team, i
I but whe did not return to college i
j last year, registered Team B's only t
marker. Livers' decision to return j
to college has furnished Coach Ex- 1
icndine with a hard-plugging full- ?
i back, who. If he can be taught to '
work as well on the" defensive, <
should be a tower of strength. J
I Among the new men whom the s
! fracas brought out favorably 'are 1
jLleb, Hie heavy tackle from 1
Wyoming; Sheehan, the former St.
'John's Prep star; Payne, a stogjey 1
lad from the Maine coast line; Ca- '
[hill, a speedy end from Lowell. *
Mass.; McNamara, the 200-pounder 1
from New Haven, Conn., high school,
land Kimball, probably the heaviest
of tlfce linesmen who seem to have
a chance for regular berths. Kimball
hits as high as 223 pounds. He
carries a little superfluous fat,
however, and at playing weight will 1
probably register at 210. Jim a
Sweeney, runner-up last year to i
pentathlon champion Bob LeGen- 1
dre, in the weights, registers at i
193. and looks good at tackle.
LcGendre returned to the Hilltop
yesterday and the great track star
is in the best of condition. He 4
will not play football this season. \
PuFour, Martino, and Shea looked ]
well at quarter yesterday. Today i
and tomorrow the coaches will caty ^
for scrimmage, with light signal !
drill Friday in preparation for the |
opening contest with Lebanon Valley
Saturday at American League
Park.

expressed himself as being well ;
pleased with the work of his pro- j
e'ges. One of the game's features ?
K'as \he work of the reserve string |
nen sent in in the last of the game. \
This crew seemed to have little I
IHTlculty in putting across a touchSown.
Burge and Hubbard got;
away with good runs, and Harris j
showed up exceptionally well on
line plunges, taking the ball across i
the line after his teammates had j
>ut him in striking distance.
Carringjon and Foster, who both
urere giv*>n' a chance at quarter,
along with Witt, who started the j
(came, ran the team well. Foster!
Igured in several good gains, and !
Harrington and Stephenson, who !
Mas substituted at end. completed :
i neat forward pass for a touchlown.
The team that started off the fray
wrought the stands to their feet by
galloping down the field for the
Irst blood of the season Just a few
minutes after the whistle ?nened
the game. Hinehart and Oppleman
Igured in a neat pass that netted
i substantial gain.
BUCKLEY SHOW ING

"Red" Leghorn and Joe Kelly, j
etter men of last year, returned yesterday.
