Champion Warriors to Hear Call to Arms for Opening Battle of World's Series at 2 o'ClocS
Groll, Bancroft and Frisch, of
Giants, Enjoy Infield Workout
Other Players Content Themselves With Batting Drill
in Final Practice; McGraw Says He Does Not
Know Who Will Pilch Opener for the Giants
By W. B. Hanna
Cozy Doian drove a hard ground bal! across the Polo Grounds infield
to Heinie Groh, at third base, yesterday. Heinie scooped it in with all due
deftness and sped it across to Dave Robertson at first base. Heinie, his
breeches flapping around his ankies and his face wet with perspiration,
ambled across the field to the clubhouse, and the last baseball practice
? First the Yankees, then the Giants
practiced, as on Monday, then there
was nothing for the warriors to do cx
cept to wait for the call to arms in the
first came at 2 o'clock this afternoon
?nd to try to get hold of what tickets
they could, which was not an easy mat?
ter even for the Giant and Yankee
plAyers.
The Yankees go into the series slight
favorites to win. You hear they will
win four out of five Nobody has made
that bold a prediction in favor of the
Giants, but the fact that nobody has
hasn't the slightest bearing on how
the series will come out. You may
talk till kingdom come on why the
series will go this way and that way,
but without giving one good reason
why it will.
Players Not Saying Mach
The truth is the players themselves
aren't saying much about how the (se?
ries will come out. Probably they don't
know. There it a good deal of quiet
confidence in both camps, and there
ore a whole lot of people who purpose
going there to see how it will come
out. Without the interest being at all
feverish, the hot weather has whipped
tip desire that lagged a few days ago,
when the weather was cool, and there
was a heavy eleventh hour rush for
tickets.
Speculation Is rife. The well known
person who breaks out at all of these
big sport fixtures was about yesterday
busily engaged in trying to decide in
his own mind who the pitchers in the
opening game would be. He knows one
pitcher, for Manager Huggins has an?
nounced that Joe Bush, his main de?
pendence in the pennant race, will
nave the first fling at the Giants.
"I don't know," said Manager Mc
Graw last night when asked who would
pitch for the Giants, and he meant it.
"I haven't worried my players with
that question, and haven't worried my?
self." So anybody who knows who the
Giants', pitcher will be knows more
than McGraw. It may be Nehf?it's
got to be somebody. By to-night every?
body will be in on the secret.
Heinie Groh, Dave Bancroft and
Frank Frisch had a short, sharp infield
workout. George Kelly was in the
dressing room by that time. Some of
the players did nothing but bat. Said
Kel, the Longshanks, who is not given
to Idle talk:
"If we get any kind of pitching we'll
beat 'em. Our pitchers are getting bet?
ter every day, too. The Yankees will
face a different kind of pitching from
what they'ro had in the American
1-eague. There isn't as much curve ball
pitching in that league."
Pep Young on Hitting
Vep Young says there won't be any
hitting in the series. This because the
center field curtains will be down. And
when the curtains are down and the
background consists of fans, says
Young in his Texas dialect, "you cain't
see pitched balls; that's all."
Hugh McQuillan was hit in the groin
by a batted ball in practice, hut didn't
seem to bo much the worse for it. He
walked off the field without a limp and
last night Cozy Dolan, whose locker is
next to McQuillan's and who dressed
at the same time, said he hadn't heard
of any injury and that McQuillan hadn't
mentioned it to him.
The Yankee outfit Is fit as can be
with the possible exception of Bush.
Bush has had tape over the stone bruise
on his heel since he incurred it in
Cleveland, or did have until yester?
day, when "Doc" Woods, the trainer,
took it oft*. Joe will do his firing this
afternoon with nothing beneath his
heel save his stocking, his shoe and
8,000 miles of Mother Earth.
"Watch Groh!" is the tip from Giant
players. "This hasn't been the best
?season he ever had, but watch him go
in this scries."
Landis Instructs Umpires
Judge Landis, commissioner ? not
high commissioner*?assembled the um?
pires up among the clouds where his
hotel suite Is situated, told them a few
?tories and parceled out advice and
suggestions. He confirmed the state?
ment made In this column yesterday
that Klem would be behind the plate
to-day, Hildebrand on first, McCormick
on second, Owens on third.
It was expected that Messrs. Landis,
Heydler and Johnson, baseball's advis?
ory board, would meet and put a formal
O. K. on the Japanese trip of major
league baseball players. Judge Landis
says it's the toughest job in the world
to get this board together. Mr. Heyd?
ler. however, notified the judge that
the trip was all right with him. Judge
Landis Is for it and only Mr. Johnson's
consent now is needed, ^"he project
must bo O. K.'d unanimously.
Herbert Hunter, who is arranging
the junket, has the approval of all the
managers concerned except McGraw's.
The Giant,.' presiding genius says he
will tako that up after the world's
series. Nchf, Kelly and Meusel are the
Giants booked for the jaunt, if they
get their manager's consent.
There has been no rush of baseball
men to town for the series. No more
than for an ordinary winter meeting.
So far. too, the news gatherers haven't
flocked in as large numbers as last
year.
The Yankee mascotting department
will be reinforced by the presence of
three-year-old Raymond Kelly, of 262G
Broadway, a youngster said to have
precocious talent in that direction.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 3.-rDan
Jan-is and Marcellus B. Frost, acting
members of the Southern Golf Tourna?
ment Committee to take charge of the
awards, took issue with Prosident
?Smith and to-day issued a statement
declaring that Abe Mitchell was ad?
judged champion.
"At the completion of the thirty-six
holes play-off on Sunday," said the
statement, "Mitchell and Diege; were
still tied for low score, and the com?
mittee which had acted with Mr. Smith
was called and a meeting held on the
eighteenth green.
"In deciding what should be done
Mr. Mitchell first suggested to Mr.
I Diegel that they split the purse and

! suggested that they play three extra
! holes to decide both the purse and the
! championship. This Diegel agreed to,
j and apparently every member of the

"The three holes were played and
Mr. Diegel conceded the championship
to Mr. Mitchell on the last green, and

Stoddard Out of Meadow Brook
Line-Up for To-day's Polo Match
By Fred Hawthorne
t '
Tho polo ponies held the stage yesterday at Westbury, in the im?
provised outdoor show ring of the Meadow Brook Club, when the National
Polo Pony Society, Inc., held its fourth annual exhibition. Some of the
most noted ponies in the world went through their paces in sixteen classes,
while Maior Vivian Lockert, Jack Nelson and Robert E. Strawbridge jr.
the judges, looked them over with critical eye before announcing the
awards. A gallery composed of the Long Island summer colony grouped
The Town and Country Challenge"
Cup, awarded for the best polo pony in
the show and to bo won threo times by
the ?am? owner before permanent pos?
session passes, was carried off for the
second year in succession by Louis E.
Stoddard'a wonderful chestnut mare
Belle of All, which had previously won
in the middleweight class and in the
division for mares four years old and
( upward for players riding over 175
pounds, suitable to produce polo ponies.
This is the pony that Stoddard, the
great No. 1 on the Meadow Brcok and
Shelburne fours, has ridden in all the
games he has played in this season aV<i
that he took to England last year whet
the "big four" defeated Hurlinghair
for the international cup. G. M. Heck
seller's chestnut mare Handseletta
which won the cup in 1920, was placee
in reserve to- Belle of All, and on al
sides were heard expressions of ap
nrnvnl nil ihn \i-nrt- nf *K? -?ii/?n.??*
In connection with to-day's interna?
tional game on International Field be?
tween the Meadow Brook and the Ar?
gentine four it was announced yester?
day by Deveriux Milburn, leader of
Meadow Brook, that Stoddard, who was
badly shaken up by a fall from his
pony in Monday's game against Fla?
mingo, would not be able to play
against Argentine to-day.
Stoddard's absence is liable to prove
a fatal handicap to Meadow Brook, for
it means the disruption of the famous
''big four" and the loss of the great?
est No. 1 ever produced in this country
The man who will substitute for Stod?
dard will not be announced until sad
I ?Hing time to-day, but it would not be
i surprising to see J. C. Cooley, the No.
1 of the lamingoes, in the Baddle.
Cooley, a veteran and one of the crafti?
est forwards in the game, has been
playing brilliantly of late and looks
like the most logical man for the place.
The game will begin at 3 o'clock,
with the second and final game sched?
uled for the same hour on Saturday.
The line-up -of the two teams, with the
No. 1 position on Meadow Brook left
vacant, will be as follows:
MEADOW BROOK. ARGENTINA.

Twp Places
There are two places I shall see no more,
No matter where I wander down the world.
By what far country or by ivhat dim shore,
Or by what strange and distant current whirled,
There aro tico places that will stand for me
As they last seemed from some old memory.
One is a river that I one day thought
Was just as wide and deep as any sea;
An oldtime river, where its low banks caught
The standing shadows of an ancient tree.
iS'o why shoidd I return to find my dremi
Led only to some shallow, muddy stream?
One is a mov.ntain that I thought aa high
As any snow-capped Himalayan crest,
Whose lofty summit seemed to pierce the sky,
Unchallenged even by an Everest.
So why return to find the ancient thrill
An upland slope or some bleak, stubby hill?
Gridiron Etchings
\o. 6?Cornell
Cornell, with the promise of another fine football machine, again
faces a schedule that is hardly a championship test in any way.
Not that championship tests are all important features of a football
schedule. In the ideal sense they are unimportant.
But when it comes to the concluding judgment of the year, there are
few other ways to gather in the true value of a team's strength.
Four of Cornell's hardest- games are against Colgate, Dartmouth,
Columbia and Penn.
Each of these in other years has had a powerful team. None of
them last year was in the first flight and the outlook of all four this fall
is problematical.
Cornell was not thoroughly tested last fall and there is a chance the
Big Red Team will meet no decisive test again this autumn.
Cornell's Outlook
Gil Dobie starts with three fine backs in Eddie Kaw, George Pfann
and Flody Ramsay.
Kaw is ono of the greatest backs of the country, while Pfann and
Ramsay are not far away.
With Cassidy added to this trio, the backfield will be a fast, hard
charging one of unusual merit.
Henderson and Kneen, from last year's freshman team, should help
round out the end positions and leave the Ithacans well flanked.
Hanson at tackle is the only line regular left?, and it is here that
Dobie will find his hardest .work. Rollo, Brannon, Gouinlock and Mott
Smith, the Hawaiian, are four of the main choices now in sight?hardly
sensational, but up to a general average of line strength.
With this material at hand, Dobie should go through the season un?
beaten, since he faces no machine that has any great chance to be ranked
with the first ten in the Elast, unless Dartmouth furnishes the surprise.
Dobie never has anything but wonderfully well drilled machines and
Cornell will again be another complete proof of his genius along this line.
Another High Spot
In the midst of world series flurries and football excitement those
still clinging to a deep interest in the way of golf will have something to
look forward to when the two long-hitting Jesses, champion and ex-cham?
pion, meet again in a Leslie Cup test.
Sweetser stopped Guiiford at Brookline abruptly, but Guilford is
always a power to be reckoned with, and it will be interesting to see how
the new champion can hold on with the old in their second meeting over
the well-trapped Piping Rock course.
" 'Battling' Siki willing to meet Greb, Wills or Dempsey." So far he
has made no offer to meet all three in the ring the same night, however.
Jack Dempsey might place this placard above the ring: "All hope
abandon, ye who enter here." Certainly Levinsky, Willard, Fulton and
Carpentier have never amounted to much after facing the big mauler with
the iron fist and the iron jaw.

Great Collection of Stars
We can recall no series that has ev

They have both assembled all-st;

the departure of Shuffiin' Phil Dougl
and a pitching slump by some of h
mates left McGraw weaker than 1

mean that he is sure to get poor pite
