Yankees and Giants Tune Up for the 1922 World's Series Music Which Starts In To-morroJ
Huggins Buys Last 2 Reserved
Seats at Club's Headquarters
Yank Leader Makes a Successful Last-Minute Dash;
Colonels Ruppert and Huston Announce That
No More Ticket Applications Gin Be Filled
By Join Kieran
For Ed Barroxv, the submerged secretary of the Yankees, the big
hattle is nearly over. At 4:30 p. m. yesterday, standard Eastern time,
Cousin Egbert's voie rang through tho corridors of the Yankee homstead
on Forty-second .Street, ais he shouted in a stentorian tone: "Close the
gates, men; vc are surrounded!" ?hc clamorous r.rmy of ticket grabbers
was forced down the guUy and out into the avenue by the burly guards,
just as a iad supped past the portals and ran grinning into the inner
aanrmorv "k-.
"Outside! Outside!'; shrieked Bar?
row, making a wild dash at the in?
truder. "All tickets were sold out
nearly ten seconds ago," but the little
chap only laughed. lie took the
jaunty Babe Ruth cap from his head
?nd stood disclosed- Mille.- Huggins.
The Dusty Miller made r.o secret of
his errand. He was after ti'iket?, too,
?nd Cousin Egbert fell prostrate into
a prolonged swoon. Chubby Charlie
McManus and Mercury Mark Roth, the
attaches of the legation. r-,;;,hed to the
?id of their stricken chief, who was
with difficulty revived and helped into
? revolving chair.
Barrow glared at Ilufrg-tr.n. "Lemme
tell you 6omethin'," said the Yankae
secretary to the Yankee manager, "The
twelve Apostles couldn't get scat.3 for
this here entertainment the way things
look now. Your hired mon, Babe Ruth,
Joe Bush and a lot more such truck
have been around this office cutting
holes in the linoleum with their ?pike?
?11 afternoon. They wanted tickets,
too. The nerve of them! As for you,
here's two small tickets for the first
game only. I have the numbers, and
if they show up in the hands of a
?peculator you'll be playing second
base for the Philadelphia Nationals
next season." With this dire threat
the exhausted secretary barricaded
himself in a telephone booth and fell
into s gentle doze.
That about explains the ticket situa?
tion. Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Till
inghast L'Hommedieu Huston herewith
Implore the fans-at-largc not to send
any more applications to the Yankee
offices unless they merely desire to
give their checks and money orders a
trip and return through the mails of
the big city. The portly ligure of
Cap Huston was discovered yesterday
in the supporting trenches well camou?
flaged with a borrowed soft chapeau
tilted at a rakish angle over his benign
countenance.
"Cap" himself had to employ consid?
erable strategy to get past his own
cuter defenses, where bluecoats and
private detectives held back the horde
of ticket sellers. "I'm half owner of
the Yankees," protested the imposing
Colonel at the first barrier. "That's
the best laugh I've had to-day," re?
turned the guard. "Come again." "Let
me speak to Mr. Barrow," insisted the
magnate. "See those guys hobbling
down the street? See that bird with
the black eye? They wanted to speak
to Barrow, too," was the answer. "I
know Mayor Hyian. I'm on speaking
terms with Ban Johnson. Why, Judge
Landia"--. "Liasen," begged the cop.
"Please, miater. beat it before I crash
in that iron boiler with a swell hick?
ory club, for the luva Mike!"
The esteemed Colonel admitted de?
feat and was just drawing off his
forces when Ed Barrow stuck his head
out of the window for a draft of fresh
?Ir. He caught sight of the masterly
retreat of the military expert and ef?
fected a rescue. "War was never like
this," moaned the Colonel aB he
?lumped into a chair beside Huggin?
and "*mok. a glass of water.
Then Huggins was put through a
cross-examination. Refusing to waive
immunity, he testified that Bullet Joe
Bush would start the first game, and,
he hoped, would finish it, too. Did he
think the series would end in four
games? No. He did not. Five games?
Ko, decidedly no. Did he think the
aeries would ever end? He thought it
might, but he wasn't a bit sure of it.
Lowton Witt, yclept "Whitoy," tho
gentleman with the bobbed hits, would
?ilay center all through the series, hav
ng given his solemn oath not to step
en any explosive pop bottles or spike
himself in the back of the neck. "And
don't forget," said the Dusty Miller,
"the Babe will be in there every game
this year. That will make a difference,
?Ten if it's only in gross tonnage."
The Hugmen had a workout on the
Polo Grounds yesterday morning: at 11
a. n., and this morning they will go
through another warming-up process.
It will consist mostly of batting prac?
tice, as the artillery sights of the boys
were somewhat dim and hazy in the
last few battles of the American
League campaign. Their confidence is
k unshaken in spite of their hitting
B slump. In the absolute certainty that
? they would be on the big end of tho
r purse-splitting party Deacon Scott and
fequire Jones went out &nd purchase 1
themselves brand-new automobiles yes?
terday with four wheels, licorice light*,
non-skid radiators and all modern
plumbing "We've got to win now,"
whispered the Deacon to the Squire.
"It would look terrible driving up to
the poorhouso with these boats this
winter if we get only a lisei-'s end."

Easy Practice for
Yale Eleven After
Game With Carnegie
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 2.?Head
Coach Tad Jones restricted the work of
his squad to-day to a long signal drill
and a little work in running back punts.
This was the first practice after tho
game with tha strong Carnegie eleven
and the heat was very oppressing for
this time of the year. Charlie O'Hearn,
who played most of the game against
Tartans at quarter, was absent from
practice, due to afternoon classes.
Mike Eddy, who showed up best at end
last Saturday, was absent for the same
reason as were Hulm?n and Landis.
Mallory and Jordan followed the first
team in signal drill, but did not take
part. Neither is on the injured list,
but the coaches think it well that they
rest a few days, especially Mallory,
who as usual was the bulwark of the
defense, being in or practically near
every play.
In the signal drill Joe Knowles took
Mallory's place at fullback and Eddie
Bench subbed for Jordan. Clevo Storrs
was In Miller's place at left tackle.
Miller was the only man on the cas?
ualty list after the Carnegie gams. Ho
has a bad muscle bruise which will
keep him out at least a week, but it
is expected that he will be in shape in
time to be in the line-up against Iowa
on October 14.
Lovejoy, who played freshman cen?
ter last year until Injured, and who has
been a sub tackle on the varsity this
fall, was to-day moved over to center
in signal drill. Until scrimmage to?
morrow and Wednesday the coaches
will be unable to determine in what po?
sition he will be more valuable.
This afternoon the eleven, except for
the changes noted above, was: Blair.
left end; Crulkshank, left guard;
Cross, right guard; Diller, right tackle;
Doaver, right end; Beckett, quarter?
back; Neidlinger, left halfback.

Neale Will Not Sign to
Coach W. & J. Next Year
PITTSBURGH. Oct. 2.-?Coach Earla
Neale, of the Washington and Jeffer?
son College football eleven, declared
in Pittsburgh to-day that he will not
sign a contract to coach the Wash?
ington, Pa., squad next year.
"There must be only one boss, and
when I am coaching I want to be that
boss," declared Neale. He added that
he has boen "hameperd any annoyed"
i:. his work by "outsiders who attempt?
ed to dictate what I should and should
not do."
Ncals, a former major league base?
ball player, took charge of the W.
and Jr. eleven last year. The team had
a successful season and sprang a sur?
prise by defeating University of Pitts?
burgh, 7 to 0.

Fifty Men Report for
Columbia Yearling Crew
Although fifty candidates reported to
Jim Rice yesterday afternoon for the
Columbia University freshman crew,
real work will not begin until to-day,
when the first year men will be put
in barges with two varsity men in each
of the three boats to accustom the new?
comers to the Harlem River, and to
give them pointers on the Rice method
of rowing.
Rice was not particularly astisfied
with the men who turned out, for a
large number of them were not heavy
enough to make oarsmen. Many of the
yearlings with greater avoirdupois,
who signed up for crew practice, foiled
to come out, but it is expected that sev?
eral of them will make their appear?
ance to-day.
Ford Rejoins Lafayette
And Is in Fine Shape
EASTON, Pa., Oct. 2.?The Lafayette
College varsity football squad was
strengthened to-day for the big game
with the University of Pittsburgh next
Saturday at Forbes Field by the ap?
pearance of Adrian Ford, the freshman
tackle, who was Injured last week.
Ford participated in the varsity
team's long signal drill and appeared
to be in fine shape. Prendergaet, who
took Ford's place against Richmond,
has been playing a bang-up game, and
the battle for left tackle promises to
be a close one.

Gridiron Etchings
No. 5?Princeton
Once more Old Nassau sounds the call
For some long winning run,
But now the somber shadows fall
Upon her golden sun.
For Keck and Wittmer fade from, view,
No Garrity comes crashing through,
No GUroy checks the charging Blue,
And Lourie's day is done.
Football power often spins in cycles, and perhaps Princeton is due
for a slight halt. It might be noted here that in the last three years, in
her six games against Harvard and Yale, Princeton has dropped only one.
Harvard hasn't nipped the Tiger since 1916 and Yale has clipped him
only once since pre-war days. But the run of talent that began with
Maury Trimble ended with the final game of Garrity, Lourle, Wittmer,
Qilroy and Keck. This was a terrific chunk to cut away from one ma?
chine, and it's no wonder the Orange and Black ia fringed with a stripe
of indigo.
Roper's Hard Year
Bill Roper this fall must face a strong Harvard team and a great
Yale team with only three or four veterans. Captain Mel Dickinson,
Cleaves, Baker and Sriively, with Treat, complete the Tiger nucleus. The
reserves that he will toss in may come through, but they failed to show
much last fall against Chicago and the Navy. The Tiger didn't look to be
any exceptional maneater without Lourie and Garrity on these two occa?
sions. The amount of ground he gained with these two backs missing
wasn't enough to cable home about
Now, with Wittmer, Keck and Gilroy also absent, the gaps left are
monumental. The blow hits both attack and defense with shocking force,
and as Yale and Harvard retain most of their stars, about all Roper can
hope to do is to keep down tho score. In addition to Yale and Harvard,
Princeton will have but little chance against Chicago, as Stagg will have'
a strong machine waiting for the late October date. If Roper can win
Bny one of these three big battles he will deserve an armful of credit, as
in each case the odds against him will be heavy. Just now, at least, it
doesn't look to be Princeton's year, after three of the best years in her
footbail history.
^ Princeton, Notre Dame and Illinois have been struck harder by van?
ishing talent than any other big university in the country. The only
luck Roper has drawn is in having his nucleus a well-rounded one, with
three good line men, a good end and a first class back. It may be that Van
Gerbig, Euwer and other reserves from last year will show a big advance
through the growth that experience brings, but they must cover a big gap
to leave Princeton an attack close to the high-power velocity that will come
from Chicago, Harvard and Yale.
'Why have they turned baseball into an infield game, with six in
fielders, and no outfielders needed?" speaks F. L. K. "I wonder if these
dub owners know how nauseated most of the fans are becoming over
these dinky flies that turn into home runs because the fences are so close
in. Fine outfielding has been one of the greatest features of baseball,
but they have killed it in so many parks now that a great outfielder isn't
any more useful than a post would be."
There is no comparison to be made between a fast outfielder hauling
down a lusty-blow to the outskirts and a half-sick pop-up looping into the
right field stands as a bored outfielder leans against the wall, with no
chance to make an easy catch. Over GO per cent of the home runs made
this season would have been easy outfield chances in a real ball park.

hours, and, owing to the great heat,
were near the point of exhaustion at
the finish.
Pate, hard pressed though he was by
his younger opponent, gained the vic?
tory ultimately by greater steadiness
and hia clever change of pace and
length. At volleying, too, Pate was
superior, coming into forecourt fre?
quently as he followed in behind his
forcing shots to finish off the pointa.
The last set found both men giving of
their best, and the final result was in
doubt until the fifteen game, when
Pate broke through service and then
won hia own service in the sixteenth,
for the game, set and match.

Giants Work Out for Half Hour at Polo Grow ?
With Jesse Barnes and Jonnard Pitching? ?y
or Scott May Open Against Yankees To-rnVm!
By W. B. Hanna
No sooner had the Yankees trudged off the field at the Polo r
yesterday noon than the Giants trudged on. Each went through
mentary practice, and tho next to last drill of the Giants, prior t^
start of the world's eerie? baseball to morrow, was short, much ?J
than the next to last drill of the Yankees prior to the start of the *
series to-morrow.
The Giants did no fielding practice
at all. In that respect they wore dif?
ferent from the Yanks, who had field?
ing and betting practice. Maybe. John
McGraw reckoned that a team which
had just finished a six months' cam?
paign didn't need any elaborate work.,
out two days before the big series, with
its money and renown.
The Giants had batting practice, and
the pitchers and catchers fooled around
a bit, bunting and shagging flies, the
usual routine. There was only a half
hour's work in all. Jesse. Barnes and
Claude Jonnard pitched to the batters,
and Bob Meusel, of tho Yankees, stood
there looking on a while and talking
to his brother, Irish, of the Giants.
Frank Frisch, whone foot hasn't been
altogether right since he was spiked in
the spring, didn't put on his uniform,
but Frankie is pretty fit, as those know
who have seen him in ball games re?
cently. He put in the time watering
his Chow pup, a recent addition to tho
P'risch menage, and trying to induce
said wooly canine to enter his car and
be driven home. ?he pup preferred to
stay and see tho practice, or else
didn't think much of his boss as a
driver.
Nehf and Scott Chase Pile?
Arthur Nehf and Jack Scott caught
a few flies and hit a few balls, but
did nothing to overexert thomselves. It
was beastly hot, to tell the truth. It
is believed, though McGraw has given
no hint on the subject, that Nehf or
Scott will open against the Yankees
to-morrow. Each is in good trim right
now.
Scott, some of the Giant fans argue,
is a man the Yankees never have faced,
and a pitcher new to them often has
their measure the first time he faces
him. So they rather think Scott will
scale the heights to face tho Yankees
to-morrow. The prevailing opinion,
however, is that Nehf will top the
mound, on the strength, if for no other
reason, of the way he turned them
back last year. He has rounded into
capital condition after emerging from
his stone bruise age.
But neither Nehf nor any other player
on either side has come out with any
flat prediction that his team will win.
There is no bitterness in the rivalry
of these two clubs and wasn't last
year, except what transitory rancor the
heat of combat may have engendered.
I ran into Everett Scott as he was
coming out of tho Yankees' dressing
room and asked him how about it.
"The team to win the first four
games will win the series," was Scotty's
sago pronouncement. "A man would
be a sucker to say anything else.
How is anybody going to tell how these
two teams will come out?"
"Don't ask me to make a predic?
tion," said Arthur Nehf.. "That's some?
thing I never do. If they catch us
when we're hitting we'll beat them; ii
they catch us when we're not they
may beat us. We're going in to do the
best we can, and now that the pen?
nant is in I am not worried over the
world's series. None of the boys is
worrying, and I think you'll find oui
pitchers stand up pretty well.
Curtains in Center Coming Down
"The curtains will be down in centei
field, and it's hard to tell how that wil
affect the batting. It's harder to hi
with the curtains down?there's n<
doubt aj??!Ut that?and if a man lets i
get on his mind?a left-handed hitte:
?those Bigns on the left field fenc?
can bother him when he's facing i
side-arm right-handed pitcher. It de
pends on the man whether he's goin
to be bothered or.not. Psychology ha
something to do with it.
"On the other hand, in any game that'
close a batter may get hold of thi
lively ball, whang it into the stand witl
a man or men on, and away goes th
ball game."
Two of the men who were named 01
the Giants' list of eligibles for th
world's series have been taken ofl
They are Maguire and MacPhee, the in
field youngsters. Their names on th
list brought the Giants' list of eli
gibles up to twenty-seven, includin
coaches, but not manager, and Judg
Landis ruled a while back that tn
twenty-five must include coaches. Mc
Graw, when ho was aprised of this con
dition, promptly took two names off.
It appeared that last year the Yani
ees had twenty-five names on their Us
exclusive of tho coaches, doubtless a
oversight, though contrary to the Con
missioner's interpretation of the rub
according to the latter yesterday. ]
was natural, then, for the Giants t
think they could have the same nurr
ber this year.
James Tierney, Giants' busines
manager, says he has no doubt the a'
tendance will be as large?game b
game?as last year. The bleachers an
the whole upper grandstand at th
Polo Grounds are not put on sale unt
the day of each game and then only i
the grounds. Last year many fans d:
not understand this arrangement ar
stayed away, thinking they would n<
be able to buy a seat at the ground
also for fear there might be a jam i
the gates.
Many Empty Seats Last Year
The result was many empty seats u
stairs the first day. When the fai
learned they could go to the groum
the day of the game, buy a seat with i
great inconvenience and walk in, tl
upper tier was well patronized for t!
rest of the series. The pile of unopeni
