Aian^lQou
The world’s series gave a con
zincing demonstration of the fash
on in which good pitching can
;heck the talk about the “lively
jail."
The sphere may be lively enough,
}ut Grove and Earnshaw for the
Vs, Hallahan, Haines and Grimes
for the Cardinals, turned the se
■ies into a succession of old-fash
cned “pitchers’ duels,’’ The long
range-firing was effective in. spots,
jut not In the least consistent.
The uspposedly heavy hitting A's,
n the three straight games at St.
Louis, scored in only two out of
17 innings, averaging less than six
aits per game.
“That ought to show ’em we
aaven’t inoculated the ball," re
narked Tom Shibe, president of the
Mhletics and also head of the com
pany that manufactures all the
major league baseballs.
“Talk of the National league ball
jeing any livelier than the Ameri
:an brand is Just an example of
ignorance. The only difference be
:ween the two is in the color of the
stitches and the stamping.
“There has been no substantial
change in the type of manufacture
since the cork center was introduced
in 1910.’’
The Shibe family has been mak
ing baseballs in Philadelphia for
about 60 years. Thomas S. Shibe
and his brother, John U.. have car
ried on the business organized by
their father, Benjamin Shibe, who
handled a club in the Quaker Cit
known as the “Athletics’’ years be
fore ho was induced by Connk
Mack to go into partnership in thf
formation of the new Americar
league club of Philadelphia in 1901
The Sliibes manufactured crlckel
balls before they found a domanc
for the production of baseballs
Cricket was one of the most popu
lar sports around Philadelphia 2i
to 50 years ago. Newspapers carrlec
more box scores of cricket inatche;
than they did of baseball games
but the English sport has since lost
most of its following there. Never
theless what are now the leading
golf and tennis centers still art
known as the Merlon, Philadelphia
and Germantown Cricket clubs.
Bobby Jones won his first and
fifth national amateur golf cham
pionships at the Merior. Crickei
club. Bill Tilden a member of th<
Germantown Cricket club, playec
some of his greatest tennis on tht
turf courts there in the Davis Cut
challenge rounds from 1923 to 1927
This column's recent tabulatior
of the 1930 golf record of the

one of the chief features of hi;
march through the British amateui
field.
It was the fourth round vlctorj
of the American over the defend

who lost on the 19th hole wher
Jones laid him a stymie.
This exciting battle was sand

BEER FACES K. O. BY
MILK IN SWISS ARMY
BERNE, Nov. 8—Beer drinking
in the Swiss army, already groggy
before the determined attack of
“Suessmost," (unfermented cider*
is to be given the knockout blow by
milk if the military authorities car
ry out present plans.
A contract was signed between
the government and the United
i Swiss dairies, whereby the latter
furnished the army canteen at the
autumn maneuvers "with as much
pasteurised milk as the soldiers
can drink.”
The milk, was served in handy
paper containers and kept scrupu
lously clean.
