The Mudhens piled insult on top of injury whe they walked off with the sixth game of the series by a score of 4 to 0 * for their fifteenth victory in sixteen Sames, counting a run of ten straights just previous to closing of the American Association sytem.

Palmero at His Best. Palmero had complete control ov- er the Bisons, and although the in- vaders got a standoff in hits with the Mudheuns by clubbing out ten, only one Bison penetrated as far as third Base in the nine innings, The clever Cuban walked only one man and made monkeys of Buffa- lo's = leading left-handed hitters, meaning Fisher and Bissonnette, Bissonnette was a dismal flop in the series, and again fanned twice today, while on his other trip he failed to get the ball out of the .infield. Del came to the plate 23 official times in the series and har- vested only five hits for a batting mark of slightly more than .200. . Tyson and Malone also were not- able failures in all departments, and Malone had another error today. He was finally romoved after the sixth inning. when Manager Clymer roust- ed out all his reserve forces and found them unable to do as well as their predecessors, Anderson Pinch Hits, In the seventl Anderson batted for Malone and shot a bit to right. but Carter, attempting to hit 'for Taylor, blasted the' first ball thrown him into a double play. Ogden also failed as a pinch hitter in this inn- ing when he came up for Proffitt. Proffitt sailed along welle enough in his attemnt for a second victory in the series, allowing seven hits and two runs before being derricked in the Buffalo half of the seventh.

The amount of money necessary to effect a hockey deal of such magnitude is not disclosed but it is understood that the Toronto hockey team, the Detroit hockey team and the New services of Hooley » sy - to secure the Smith. With Opening of Season Only a Week Away and No Coach Available, Decision is Reached at a Meeting of Executive and Players -- L Will Make Early Start Next Year RE Following a meeting of the execu- tive and players, as well as a number of executive heads from the athletic association of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, it was announced that the franchise allotted Oshawa in the Intermediate O.R.F.U. for this sca- son would be dropped and that the local club would not fil any of the playing dates in the schedule. While this is rather a sudden turn of affairs, especially when it is consi- dered that the team has becn practic- ing diligently without the services of a tompetent coach for the past three weeks, it was the only move that the executives and players themselves thought feasible. A number of thing: were taken into consideration and thoroughly discussed. The most im- portant was the fact that with the opening game of the club's schedule just about a week. away, a capable coach had not been secured and an- other rankieg almost in line with the first was that tao late a start had been made and it has been too short a time to get the players into condition in time for the games this scason, 'Quite true, every cffort was made cn behalf of the club's executives to secur: the services of a ccach that would be able to round out a squag that would uphold the honor of th: city and one was practically coming here, bag and baggage. That was Chilcott, brilliant player of the Toron- toArgos. He had been out of work for some time and it was with a view to securirig a position in this city, that tempted him to take control of the rugby team. However, sensing they might lose a valuable player, one who has been improving yearly in his dabil- itv as a rugby player, the Argo offi- cials got down to business and secured a position much to Chilcott's liking. The Argo officials also were adverse to the player coming to this city. Persistent attempts to have Chil- cott in charge of the team when it was to have met the St. Catharines tcam in that city a week from to- morrow, proved futile. The Argos are playing an important game against Queen's in Kingston next week and the Argo officials felt they could not spare the player and he will likety be- come a regular on the line-up. Advice from various sources was followed by the local club and it was unanimously decided that carly next year, in January, a mceting will be called when officers for the year will be appointed and moves made then to secure a good, competent coach as wel' , as a number of players to strengthen the squad. It is quite possible that the team then will be run under the juris- diction of the General Motors who willingly fame to the response for as- sistance this year. TOLEDO PLAYERS DIVIDE $26,000 Toledo, Oct. 7.--The Toledo Mud Hens, victors over Buffalo in the Little World Series, five games to one, will divide a players' pool of more than $26,000, while the defeat ed Bisons will split a little more than $18,006, The Toledo players voted full shares to Manager Casey Stengel, Secretary James McGraw, brother of the Giant manager, trainer Andy Poina and to all the players on the club, making 26 shares of a little over $1,000 a piece. Three bat boys were presented with $25 apiece, and $50 each was given Harry Kinnison, groundkeep- er and Walter Green, McGraw's as. sistant. The $1,000 shares are more than double the $459 which the 'Toron:io title winners received with Louis- ville, who never won a game in last Fall's series.

Unable to Secure Coach | Ragby Team Drops Out NEW YORK FANS BLUE 'OVER SEAT SHORTAGE New York, Oct. 7.~The joy of New York's myriad baseball fans at the second 'successive- victory of their Yanks in the World Series yesterday was tempered only by the realization that but 64,000 possibly can jam their {way into the Yankee Stadium as the scene of battle shifts tomorrow to "the park that Ruth built," While the stadium's capacity is more than 20,000 greater than that of Forbes Field in Pittsburg, the big arena can accommodate only a fraction of the fans eager to welcome the winning Yanks and their hard-fighting Pitts- burg foes. Thirty thousand seats--10,000 in the upper grand stand and the remainder in the bleachers--were to go on sale at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at the stadium, and some of the ultra-enthus- 'astic announced the intention of standing in line all night. The 34,000 seats in the lower grand stand, which were offered for "advance sale, have been sold out since last week, and countless requests for reservations have had to be denied. The ticket fa- mine was reflected today in the arrest of operators of two Broadway ticket agencies for alleged speculating. HONOR COBOURG BOWLERS Cobourg, Oct. 7.--The Cobourg bowling season was practically end- od here Wednesday night when the finals in a mixed tournament were played. A rink composed of Don Me- Kinron, George Mitchell, Mrs. Har- court and C. Harcourt, skip, won the first prize. F. J. Skitch's rink won second, and A. Martin's rink third. A supper was served afterward, and during a social hour which followed Edsin Guillet, President of the Bowl- ing Club, and Mrs. Guillet, were presented with roses, it being their CUYLER, STAR OF 1925, NOT IN WORLD SERIES Pittsburg, , Pa., Oct. 7---Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler, fleet outfielder of the Pirates and a hero of the 1925 world's series, is not taking part so far in the championship battle with the Yankees, because, in the opin- fon ~ of Pittsburg executives, his present playing form is below that of any of the outfield rezulars-- and some of the other substitutes-- not_because of any persoLal preju- dice or for any mysterious reason, This statement, dealing with an issue which is been almost as hot- ly debated as the outcome of the series itself, was given out yester- day by Sam Dreyfuss, treasurer of the Pittsburg Club, in response to a request to clarify a situation that has provoked a flock of fast flying rumors. "The club's executives share Man- ager Bush's present conviction that there is no reason for inserting Cuy- ler in the regular lime-up for the simple fact that Banhart is playing better ball," Dreyfuss said. "I think Barnhart proved himself one of the stars of the opening game." "Sp far as using Brickell as a pinch-hitter instead of Cuyler is concerned, I think that also was ad- visable. Brickell, left-handed bat- ter and fast, was the proper man to send against Moore, a right-handed pitcher, Cuyler is a right-handed batsman." Bush refused to discuss Cuyler's case. .other than to say he will use him when the need arises, Cuyler, too, ig reticent about his situation.

Exhibition games should be indulged in and thus keep up the interest among the players and fans so they will take hold of the matter more regdily early next year when it is proposed to hold a meeting. The proper thing to do eariy next january is for those interested to call a gathering of both fans and players and organize so there will be some strength behind the club, both financial and personnel. Efforts should then be made to secure a coach who will come to this city to reside and who will take a deep interest in the squad's welfare. It is understood that strings will be sent out to secure a number of experienced and prominent players, who with lecal material now available should round out a fairly formidable team. In the meantime, however, fans will have to console themselves with collegiate rughy, and hockey gossip. By the way, fans, the Junior O.H.A. team is losing no time in getting' down to training on October 17. The early start will give the players ample time to get into condition and get rid of all stiffness so that when they step on the ice they will be able to concentrate on combination and team play. The action of the Junior O.H.A. team's officials in making arrange- ments to take the team to Toronto so the players will be able to practice on artificial ice in one of the arenas there, is gratifying. Should the Oshawa arena proposition go tarough as Hambly Brothers claim it will, the junior kids should be ready to make themselves right at home on the artificial surface. There is quite a difference between artificial and natural ice surfaces, Ernst Vierkoetter, the professional swimmer, winner of the Toronto $50,000 Marathon, stated upon his arrival at Cologne yesterdav that he had been commissioned by William Wrigley, Jr., to select a place in Ger- many for a world's championship Marathon swimming contest. Vierkoet- ter expressed the belief that the proper course could be found either at Wannserends or Maggellsee, near Berlin, and intends going there shortly to investigate. The winner of the Canadian Marathon says the entrants to the coming contest will not be obliged to pay any fees. Vierkoetter is coming to California in the middle of November to participate in two races. He is to begin training immediately. y Radio station WEAF _ of New York City, is taking quite a stand in . regard to broadcasting the Sunday baseball game of the World's Series. Officials of the National Broadcasting Company announced late yesterday that this station will be the only one of 41 broadcasting the regular week- day games, that will resort to its ustal Sunday program. The station will make many friends by broadcasting a different program than its ppposi- tion, as there are thousands and thousands of radio fans who do not care about baseball games. Ohawa Junior O.H.A. hockey team will be represented in the Sports- men's Patriotic Association's junior series this year. This will be welcome news to followers of the team and it will give the fans and officials in general a chance to see what the team looks like when against another. The S.P.A. series usually meets the cream of the province and it is a case of survival of the fittest. Andy Cohen, the Bisons' shortstop, decided to put. aside his religious scruples and play yesterday on Yom Kippur, since his team necded his help badly, with third baseman Bill Huber out of the game with a sprain- ed ankle. Andy talked it over with Rabbi Joseph S. Kernfeld, former American minister to Persia, in the morning. The Rabbi advised him to go ahead and play, and fixed him up with a lunch to break his fast. *Andy's sacrifice was in vain, as far as a Buffalo victory was concerned, for Palmero, the former. leaf, southpawed the Bisons into submission. New York again went away from Pittsburg leading the World's Ser- ies with two straight wins over the Pirates. The game today is being played in New York. It looks as though the Yankees will make a clean sweep of the series and if they do it will be one of the shortest world series in history. Record breaking attendances are cxpected to take in the contests in New York. Collegiate rughy should make quite a hit here again this year in view of their team being the only one to represent the city in any series, At- tendances should be materially increased as there are many who will at- tend this year and who would not have had the intermediate squad con- tinued to operate. When everything is considered collegiate rugby, while not quite as fast as the other brand, tends to create more interest, es- pecially among the younger members of the community than does the O.R. F.U. brand. The announcement. made yesterday by Harold Luke of the Junior O.H.A. team to the effect that there is considerable new material avail- able for this year's team will surely be accepted by the fans with thanks. This year's team will be made up mostly by members of the Shamrock team of last year and former members of the Deseronto team. While the officials know nothing of the calibre of hockey some of the players play, time will tell and 'there is nothing to do but wait.' ° ig A sss Pittsburg Fans Have the Blues Pittsburg, Oct. 7--Miller Huggins cashed in yesterday afternoon on another of his veteran rookies and justified the faith which made him hold George Pipgrass through six long years of tribulations and dis- appointment, The big ranger from the North- west came through with a skilful, steady, though hardly brilliant world's series victory, and gained or the Yankees an edge which it is going to take better pitching and 'hetler all around work by the Pi- rates ta overcome than they have shown in the two games here. In fact, the Pittsburg rooters are through. They are a sore and sour lot and their almost unanimous op- inion is that the Corsairs can't make the grade. Pittsburg Fans Quit on Bucs. "You won't have to come back here," they informed the Yankee team as the players dashed off the field when the last sad plays of the ninth inning had been finished, Some of the more bitter who blame Ronie Bush for bad manage- ment and poor handling of his pitch- ers, assert that the Yankees will take four straight and that the game of Sunday scheduled for the Yankee Stadium never will be play- ed. *- hgling) Pipgrass, the youngster--he's on- ly twenty-five, though he has been pitching for seven years--out-did one of the best of the world's series veterans this afternoon, Vic Aldridge, you will remember, won the second game of the 1925 series with the Washington Senators and the won the famous 6th game here in that year which carrier the combat to the seventh game and vic- tory for the Pirates. Aldridge has had a good year, and has beaten National League clubs regularly, but he couldn't keep step with the pesky Pipgrass today. He survived the first agsadlt in the third inning, when two clean, slash- ing hits and two long sacrifices ac- counted for three hig runs--the game was won right there--but he cracked completely in the seventh, Hard hits the dash of the Yanks. a burst of speed by Bob Meusel, and he collapsed, and wild-pitched him- self out of the game, Pipgras Never Weakened Pipgras never weakened. He car- ried a truck load of blazing speed, fast curves, his famous . knuckle ball, which will one of these days be as famous as Wileey Moore's "sinker," into the box with him, and never lost it He was as good in the ninth as in the first--Dbetter. He has never been a regular till this year but yesterday he was as cold and unmoved Alexander on that famous wind-up day of the last year's series. The Pirates hit him a lot of blows clean and hard, but whenever the Corsairs attempted an attack Pipgras "bore down' the harder. They're saying here in the Yankee camp that Huggins won't need to experiment with a left-hander. That Pipgras and Hoyt and the ruddy- necked Wilcey Moore can finish this assignment, SAME TEAMS AS IN 19260 IN THUNDER BAY GROUP Port Arthur, Oct, 7.--The Thun- der Bay Hockey League will again function during the coming winter, as a three-club circuit, the same as last year, with Kenora, Port Ar- thur and Fort William in the run. ning. It had been announced earl- jer in the season that Kenora would not be represented. This was be- cause certain backers of the team last year had decided to quit. out a few days ago when some of the other hockey boosters began to dis- cuss the situation, in view of the fact that last year's team is intact cieps were taken toward again plac. ing it in the running. as old Grover i NOW PLAYING JOHNNY HINES in "Stepping Out" See the Funniest Picture of the Season!

Series Hockey will get under way in a preliminary manner in Oshawa. about October 17 according to an announcement made by Secretary Harold Luke of the Junior O.H.A. team. Road work will commence then and a2 few weeks later, the boys will be taken to Toronto where they will get down to business on one of the artificial ice arenas, This is rather a contrast when it is considered that the lawn bowl- ers, footballers, cricketers, sbftball artists and rugby players as well as. loves of the tennis game are still indulging in their favorite sports. Just about the time that Chevrolets play in the Ontario finals for the 0.A.S.A, championship the hockey lads will start doing their stuff. While plans for the coming sea- son are yet in their infancy, every- thy g points to a successful season as far as the juniors are concerned. A meeting will be held shortly when officials and players will get to- gether and discuss the situation. In the meantime, however, any new players who have not made their presence known and who have been residents of this city since May are asked to get in touch with Mr, Luke at the General Motors. In speaking to the Oshawa Daily Times in connection with plans for the coming season, the secretary stated he was pleased to note that plans and negotiations are under- way for the erection of an artifi- cial ice arena in this city. He add- ed that if Oshawa juniors are not provided with a new rink this year, the juniors would play their home games in the Whitby Auditorium, The rink in that town accommodates more people and in addition the ice surface is larger. However, it MONOHAN WILi, NOT PLAY Kingston, Ont., Oct. 7.--Vinecent "Irish" Monohan, has set wild rum- ors about his football career this season by his return to Queen's University where he has registered for "the ensuing year. It was stated that Monohan would return to Oi- tawa and would line up with the Senators in the Big Four, His re- turn to the uapitol was daily anti- cipated but still the big line plung- ing star failed to show up. This morning, he reported at the Univer- sity but will not p:ay football this season. He is determined to get an 'education, fociball or no football Monohan will be greatly missed from the Tricolor ranks this season. He is one of the greatest line plungers of the day and his loss to football this season is a heavy one. derstood negotiations for the new arena are almost completed, This year's junior team, which will be a combination of the Deser- onto team of last year and the lo- cal Shamrock team of this city, will be entered in the junior Sportsmen's Patriotic Association series it is ex- pected and this game will tend to give the local boys good experience after a good early training. "Coxie" Cox will do the training again this year and like last season it is be- lieved he will be able to put the players into the Lest of condition. On paper, prospects look fairly good, although ofricials are loathe to boast about things, A number of new players have arrived in the city since last year and several of their cards have been sanctioned by the O.HA. On the other hand a couple have been held up tempor- arily until matters between the O. H. A. and the N.OR.A. have been settled. This will likely be one of the topics at the next meeting of {de OH.A.
