THE MICHIGAN DAILY Injured Gomez And Tompson To Pitch Today Red's Refuse To Concede Pennant To New York; Thousands Cheer Team CINCINNATI, Oct. 6.-(AP)-Only two games away from humiliating1 erasure from the 1939 World Series, and facedwith the prospect of meet- I ing the third member of the New t York Yankees dreaded "sore arm" pitching squad, the Cincinnati Reds came home today stubbornly refusing to admit they were whipped yet. And the Rhineland fans agreed with them, despite a Yankee display of hitting dynamite at a lengthy bat-k ting drill in Crosley Field and the news that Lefty Gomez, injured side and all, would be the world cham-e pions' choice to do the hurling chores in #.°lk|MiNtomorrow's. third- game against the Reds' freshman find, Junior Thompson.1 Several thousand of the more wide- eyed fans in this baseball-rabid town turned up at the 4 railroad station asC the Reds' special Thompson train pulled in from New York, where the National League champions dropped the first two games of the current fall set. They cheered their boys on with such figurative back-slapping roars as "You're home now boys; let's go,'' and "We'll show 'em up out here." Hundreds more of the faithful were jammed on the sidewalks all around, the hotel that housed baseball head- quarters, and they added their greet-t ings to those of the horde at the sta- tion. The Yankees, arriving only a few minutes after their foes, also received a noisy welcome, with the loudest recognition of all going to Joe Di- Maggio, who hasn't been altogether a ball of fire at bat .so far in the series; Monte Pearson, who turned in a two-hit performance in yesterday's game to equal the best elbowing job ever done in. World Series history, andt big Charley-the-Red Ruffing, wlise four-hitter Wednesday sent the Yanks off to a victorious first-game start. DiMaggio Likes Cincy Fences Deadpan Joe DiMaggio, the Ameri- can League's batting champion this year, faced Spud Chandler in the batting drill and whacked a fast one clear over the center field wall, 384 feet away. "That's a real nice wall," he commented. Then he turned his attention to the left field barrier, and banged one against the upper rim of that fence. The Reds didn't even look at their home field. Manager Bill McKechnie called them all to the park shortly after arriving, gave them a "skull" session in their dressing room for a few minutes, then dismissed the squad with a brief "see you. tomorrow," and the boys went home without appear- ing on the diamond. Although Gomez still is wearing a wide polo belt under his "monkey suit" to relieve any pressure on his right side, in which, he strained a muscle two weeks ago, he will defi- *nitely go against the Rhinelanders tomorrow unless he informs Manager Joe McCarthy he is not ready. M- X arthy announced the Castilian southpaw's selection today, and El Goofo then went through a brief workout Afterward herand McCarthy put their heads together in a brief huddle, and Lefty informed the boss he-was "okay." Indiana-Iowa Contest Starts Big Ten Race Gophers Meet Nebraska; Irish, Georgia Tech Continue Old Feud By MASE GOULD While Coach Fritz Crisler's second Michigan machine is attempting to hurl back the. challenge of Michigan' State in the Stadium, there will .be plenty of action on more than 20 big fronts today. The first Big Ten tussle of the sea- son will pit the Indiana Hoosier:s against up-and-coming Iowa at Iowa City. The Hoosiers were tied by Ne- braska, 7-7, in the final quarter last Saturday, while Coach Eddie Ander- son's first Hawkeye aggregation started things off with a flourish by routing South Dakota, 41-0. Minnesota, fresh from a 62-0 white- wash of Arizona, encounters stiffer opopsition from one of her arch ene- mies, Nebraska; Northwestern's highly touted eleven has a tartar for its opening game in the Oklahoma Sooners, last ;year's Big Six cham- pions and possessor of a 7-7 tie with Southern Methodist last week; Ohio State has a not too friendly date with Missouri's Paul Christman and company, who swamped Colorado last week, 30-0; and Wisconsin, after tak- ing a narrow 14-13 decision over Mar- quette, faces Texas University. One of the highlights in the Mid- west will be Notre Dame's meeting with the Engineers from Georgia 'Tech. Tle Fighting Irish downed Purdue with a field goal a week ago, while Tech will be inaugurating its season today. Last year, Notre Dame came out on top, 14-6. The big game in the East promises to be that between Fordharm and Ala- bama. The Rams are definitely Rose Bowl conscious, while the Crimson Tide is reported to be one of the out standing teams of the South. It's a natural. The Pacific Coast swings into full gait with four top-notch games. Cali- fornia, still smarting from a 6-0 de- feat at the hands of Amos Alonzo Stagg's College .of the Pacific eleven, runs smack into St. Mary's this af- ternoon. r .. $ Ann Arbor GAME Michigan-Michigan State Ohio State-Missouri Northwestern-Oklahoma Yale-Columbia Cornell-Syracuse Pennsylvania-Lafayette Indiana-Iowa Minnesota-Nebraska Wisconsin-Texas Alabama-Fordham Tulane-Auburn T.C.U.-Arkansas Cal.-St. Mary's Carnegie Tech-Temple N.C.
