Succumbs to the Giants' Bats
American Leaguers Are Otithit 11 to 7, but They
Field Perfectly, While the Impregnable Defense
of Oan McGraw Errs on Three Occasions
By John Kieran
Just out of pure spite, the dippy dope on the annual baseball classic
hast right in the faces of one of the biggest crowds that ever thronged
into the old Polo Grounds. "Bullet Joe" Bush, the Bra.nerd Meteor,
whizzed through seven inning wilh smoke and fire shooting out behind his
fast balli*. The Giants couldn't see the meteor through a telescope, much
?ess hit it with a bat. Then came the eighth, when the Yankee star
was knocked hurtling through empty space.
In this hectic session Bullet Joe was
brutally assaulted by the Giant blud?
geons for a quartet of hits. It come
like a burst of fire from a machine gun.
Pop! pop! pop! pop! Four in a row.
Bush was laid low in the dust and
borne gently from the field of carnage.
His last word? were deleted by the
'censor.
But who can blame the Yankee pitch?
ing ace and the leading flinger of the
Ban Johnson organization? He was
jinxed before he started. Just as he
finished his warming-up process some
misguided individunl came out w:t'n a
faudy bnsket of flowers. There was the
ird who really placed the white lily in
the hands of Sir Leslie Bush. Colonel
Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston sus?
pects that this was some deep-dyed
machination of the cunning enemy, and
he furthermore says he was reliably in?
formed that there was a note concealed
in the flowers to this effect: "We
buried your comrades last year. Why
not you? Complete ?uneral in nine
innings, with two candles and one bell
ringer."
However, as aforesaid, the outcome
of the battle might have been expected,
since all statistics, temperatue read?
ings and radio diagrams pointed in tho
opposite direction. Mark Twain un?
doubtedly knew something when he
said that there were three kinds of lies
lies, damned lies and statistics. The
burners of the midnight oil produced
eighteen gross tons of figures to prove
the following facts: That the Yankee
pitching staff was the strongest in thi
world, including Scandinavia; that the
million-dollar defense of the Giants
would excel the Yankee fielding by
0012846 points a cubic centigram undei
normal atmospheric pressure and at 7s
degrees Fahrenheit, and that the strat?
egy of John Joseph McGraw would com
pletaly surround the tactical errors ol
Hiller J. Huggins.
Held to Seven Hits
Then this happened. The despisec
Giant hurlers held the Yankees t<
oven hits and one earned run. Tin
mpregnabl? defense of the Clai
?cGraw burst apart on three separat?
? casions while the Hugmen presente'
?i stonewall barrier to everything OU
aase hits. Tho tactics of the midge
manager won a referee's decisio:
over the strategy of McGraw in seve>
innings and the Giant skipper tool
his battle plans to the edge of thi
lugout, where he tore them into litt 1
? riangu'ar pieces. "So much fo
trutegy," said the Little Napoleor
'Now what I want is base hits."
"At yjur service," piped all hands
Bancroft, Groh, Frisch and Iris!
?lousel enme through with the ringin
, ??ingles, and tho Ginrits had Yanke
pic for supper. Just en passant, i
might be stated that Heinie Gro
was alleged to be in the sere and yel
low dnys of his baseball career. 1
vas only S weak ago that perfec
'.rangers were halting each other o
?he streets to remark that Groh hadn
.nado a ba?se hit since Hector tried t
=?teal home on the plains of Tf?>
N. Y. They suggested that Hughe
Jennings would be stronger at this
Mian chunky Heinie. Others declor
that his bottle bat was of the noi
rofillable typo and had been empl
?neo last July.
"It's* my party," said Heinie to h
critics yesterday as he poured a tri

P.u:-h were his contributions to t.l
fretful fracas.
It was a big day for little Ro:
Young, too. He had a fiine time oi
in the right field juggling the fate i
the game up and down and balancir
it on his nose. In the fifth innir
ho made an astounding grab of Done

he was on second and the Deacc
pounded what seined to be a su:

Rob's .idea is to put second base .
far in the rear as possible on vei
short notice. But the Texas spid
snared the Deacon's fly, and R. Mous
was officially declared defunct at t!
keystone bag on the doul'e play.
In the sixth inning, when Li'l A

ball as if he feared that Stengel wou

of interference as the gridiron w

Cost Giants a Run
These fielding bobles by Nehf a
Young cost the Giants a run, f
Wardie produced the necessarv sac
fice fly that enabled Lanky Bob
score from third. The stellar rig
fielder of the clan McGraw had ma
: nother error in the previous innir
bol it hurt nothing except his fieldi
average. Misplays of that type s
disregarded in the world's series. T
errors that count are the ones th
Jose games and cut into the pock?
books, making a loser's share gr<
where a winner's portion stood a'f<
moments before.
The Giants flashed three doul
plays before the eyes of the assembl
multitude, end the last of these v,
the best. It came in the ninth innii
In the eighth the helpless Hugman h
seen their two-run lead dwindle do'
to u one-run deficit. Wally Pipp ?
the first man up in the final sessi?
Sir Walter had not made a hit
through the feverish struggle, and 1

fact from a front seat in a field b<
"He's saving it for the proper tinn
Kr.;,! Pipp Senior, with earnest gestur
"This is the one he'll bust high, wi

Wally did. He caught one of B
Ryan's roseate slants on the end
hi? bat for a sizzling single to cent'
Hurroar! The Yankee rooters ?tru
up the band again. Meusel at bat. i
had two hits to his credit, ,and as
drove a liner toward right field
seemed as if there was Tuck in o
numbers for the Yanks. "There go
tit? third," shrieked the popuia<
"Here goes nuthin'," grunted Frank
Frisch, a? he soured over and upward
after the flying sphere. He clutched
it with perhaps the last fingers he had.
It was one of the greatest diamond
robberies ever perpetrated in broad
daylight.
That catch nearly killed Miller Hug
gins, who was coaching at iirst base.
"All right, all right!" said the Dusty
Miller in a disgusted tone. "If that's
the way they're going to play, give
them the game, we don't want it."
But that was not the only stirring stab
the Giants made tit Yankee hits during
the m?l?e. The first hair-raising clutch
was staged by Bancroft in the third
inning, when he (lashed out into center
field and took a high fly from Joe Bush
while on the dead run for the fence.
Young's grab of Scott's liner was the
next heartbreaker for the Yankee clan,
and the final blow was the snaring of
Bob Meusel's liner by Frank Frisch in
| the ninth inning.
Assault Concentrated
The Giant assault on the Yankee
| stronghold was concentrated in the
! eighth inning. After Bancroft and
j Groh singled, Frisch drove a clean blow
I to left, but. Bannie hud such a whole
l some dread of Bob Meusel's throwing
! arm that he halted at third, leaving the
I bases filled with none out. Says Irish
i Meusel to Bob Meusel, "I'll put this one
; where you won't throw anybody out."
I Irish spanked the ball to center, and
i two runs ruiihed over the pan to tie
I the score. That gavo Ross Young his
| final chance to juggle tho fortunes of
j war. He drove out a long sacrifice
fly and the game was laid away on the
j ice in the Giant refrigerator.
the seventh stanza was soul-stirring.
! With one man down the Giants filled
I the bases on three scratchy hits off
! Bush. Art Nehf was removed from
the pastime and Earl Smith sent up to
; bat for the pitcher. This "Oil" Smith
i person is no timid gent. He packs a
? mean wallop, almost as mean as the
' cud of cut plug he chews upon. If
: Joe Bush had been given his choice,
; "Oil" would have been way down on
' the list of persons welcome at such a
i moment. However, there he was, and
! something had to be done about it.
Smithy did it all himself. He hit into
j a double play, via Scott, Ward and
i Pipp, the last-named making a dainty
: dig for Ward's low throw for the final
j out of the play and the inning.
So there it is. The Yankee pitch?
ing ace was taken by the McGraw
joker. The boasted defense of the
Giants was punctured in three separate
spots. The Clnn McGraw gathered
eleven blows from the alleged super
pitching of the Yankee staff, while the
"Lost Battalion" of Giant hurlers, rep?
resented by Nehf and Ryan, held the
hopeful Hugmen to seven safeties.
The dope may work out in the long
run, but in a short series anything can
j happen, and frequently does.

Baltimore Takes
Opener of Series
With St. Paul, 94
BALTIMORE, Oct. 4.?Banging out
: fifteen base hits and overcoming a
; three-run lead, which St. Paul gained
: in the first three innings, the Orioles,
I champions of the International League,
! crushed the American Association flag
j winner in the opening game of "the
J little world series" here this aftcr
| noon, 9 to 4.
With the score standing 4 to 4 in
i the seventh inning, McAvoy, of the
? Birds, broke up the game by crashing
j a home run into the right field bleach?
ers, scoring both Bentley, who had
! doubled, and Boley, who had walked.
In an effort to check the slugging of
j the Birds Manager Kelly, of St. Paul,
j called out five pitchers. Sheehan, hurl
I ing ace of the Saints, was knocked from
: the hill in the fifth inning. Hall, Mar- j
I tin, Merritt and Rogers followed in j
| succession. All were hit hard, and Mer- j
i ritt was actually knocked from the box ?
j after he had pitched to one batter, ]
, Bentley driving a liner back at him, j
i which cut a dqcp gash in his cheek.
| He was taken from the field.
Jack Bentley, Oriole southpaw,
! pitched the entire game. The Saints
j piled up an early lead by hitting him !
. hard in the first three innings, but after
j the Birds tied the score in the fourth
I he settled down and held the visitors,
j safe.
There was bad blood between the
I teams nnd the game was marred by f re
I qucnt arguments. Umpire Murray got
in bad with the Baltimore crowd by
! several decisions on the bases, and he
j was the target for two pop bottles
j hurled from the right field pavilion.
j Arguing over the decisions, Lawry, of j
j Baltimore, was ordered out of the game i
j and then off the bench. Porter re
| placed him in left.
The official attendance was announced
! as 8,358. The game was played under
i perfect weather conditions, hundreds
of the fans sitting in their shirt
sleeves.

"1 Admit Defeat
For One Day On/y,"
Says Miller Huggins
The midget 3iianager of the dis?
comfited American League cham?
pions emerged from the Yankee
clubhoube about a half hour after
Frank Frisch had quelled the
threatened Yankee riot in the
ninth inning. Putting his hands
on his hips and surveying the sur?
rounding scenery with an apprais
glance, the lightweight leader ad?
mitted defeat.
"Yessir! " said the chief of staff
of the organized forces of the Pay?
ing Colonels, "I admit defeat?for
one day only! I'm not going to
say anything about the game. You
were there. You saw it just as
well as I did. I'll concede you just
one thing, and that is, they won
the game. By golly we should
have had that game sewn up so
tight that the package would never
have opened. Well, it's over. I'm
not worrying about what's past.
It just means we have to win an
extra game and I know the boys
who can do it."
The midget manager further
said that Battling Bob Shawkey
would be in there to-day shooting
against the joyful Giants. "Be?
lieve me, Bob is a different pitcher
from the one they faced last year.
This is the best year he has ever
had, 1 think. I look for him to even
up the series. And don't think
that Joe Bush is through just be?
cause he lost to-day's game. He'll
be back again shortly with more
stuff. I don't want to say any?
thing at all about the breaks in
the game. Some fellows seem to
think the Giants got the breaks
to-day. If so we may get them
to-morrow. That business evens
up as a general rule. Better luck
to-morrow. Good night."
Righthanders Will
Monopolize Center
Of Arena To-day
One swallow doesn't make a summer
nor one victory earn a baseball series.
Vet it must be admitted that John Joseph
McGraw has established both a mathe?
matical and a moral advantage for the
nonce. To retain the world's champ? on
ship he has only to score three more
victories. To unhorse him Huggins
must win four games. Huggins opened
with bis main trump, Joe Bush, the
champion pitcher of the American
League. McGraw countered with Art
Nehf and won?by a little assistance on
the part of Pat Ryan, who was not seri?
ously regarded as a series possibility.
Huggins showed not only Bush, but
Waite Hoyt, another main' dependence
as well, so that here all the advantage
for the time at least seems to re3t with
McGraw.
There is little doubt that Huggins
this afternoon will como back with Bob
Sbawkcy. McGraw will have to use a
right-hander, either McQuillan or Scott.
One further advantage Mac has is that
he does not have to codger his brains
BB to whether Huggins will use a right?
hander or a southpaw. Huggins has
only one southpaw, Lefty O'Doul, and
as he has not used him at all during
the championship season it is not likely
the youngster will be called upon in
the current season unless perhaps to
finish up some game lost beyond ap?
parent recall.
Certain it is the champions of the,!
American League may expect plenty j
of curve pitching. McGraw tipped hi'si
mitt to that fact yesterday. Nehf and)
Ryan threw little else than curves. And ?
truth to tell it seemed the proper medi- i
cine to still the war clubs of the Yan- !
kees. Jess Barnes "curved" the Yanks !
out of the blue ribbon r year ago.?'
After viewing the apparent helplessness j
of the Hu&men against curves yester- ?
day one is forced to wonder what has
become of the curve ball artists of
the American League.
Nines Made 60 or 80 Runs in
Old Days Complains the Old Soak
By Don Marquis
iiHPHiS here game ain't the same as it was in the old days when I was
a young feller," remarked the Old Soak after seeing the first
struggle in the world's series.
"When I was a youngster I used to play with a flat bnt, and
every time a feller made a tally he went and cut a notch into the'
fence with his jack-knife. A nine that didn't make sixty or eighty
tallies in the course of an afternoon wasn't counted no good at ail.
"But everything ha? changed since I was a young feller. This
here Eighteenth Commandment is what has done it. It's makin'
weaklings of our young men, the home-brewed liquor they drinks is,
and all this here bootleg stuff. If they was to go back to the straight
liquor they drunk when I was a young feller mebby they could find
heft enough to theirselves to run in enough tallies to make a game
worth seoin'.
"I don't know what the next generation of posterity is a gonna be
like, I don't. When I seen all them empty pop bottles up there at the
ball grounds I heaved a sigh. I don't want no better sign that the
country has went to the dogs."
Picked Up at Polo Grounds
By John Kieran
Nick Altrock was welcomed by the
assembled multitude when he appeared
on the field and went through his comi?
cal stunts with AI Schacht, but when
he donned mufti and strolled through
the grandstand during the game, hard?
ly a soul recognized him. He wore
the same pair of ears, too, which makes
it still more strange.
Pancho Snyder drilled a hole in Joe
Dugan with a hot grounder in the sec?
ond. Joey caught it as if handling nn
eight-inch shell as it emerged from
the mouth of a field piece. He held his
hands in front of him in self-defense
and the ball lodged in his glove.
This "Meusel to Meusel, and Irish to
Bob" stuff didn't materialize during the
game until Yankee Bob singled to Giant
Irish in the seventh inning.
Babe Ruth fell before Nehf and Ryan
on strikes, but.he also inserted a time?
ly single that sent Dugan across the
plate in the sixth with the first run of
the game. By and large, however, it
was not a good day for the Bambino.
He can do better, and perhaps he will.
' In the seventh the Giants got three
successive singles that served only to
! fill the bases, and in the eighth inning
j this peculiar feat was duplicated. This
.a either the height or the depth of
j something or other in the baseball
I world.
Wally Pipp was fanned by Nehf in
i the fourth, and the Bambino was
I doubled as ho tried to steal on the
j rame play. This double execution ex?
tinguished the fi?mes of hope in Yan?
kee breasts.
Bill Ryan get:* credit for the game,
j bUt somehow the crowd thought that
Li'l Arthur Nehf pitched well enough
I to win. The Yanks earned only one run
I oiT him, and his supporting cast gav
j nered tV.ree tallies the inning after he
was relieved. Records don't count so
much when you see how they are made.
Irish Meusel got only one safo blow
in the game, hut he made it count. It
scored two runs for the Giants. Bob
got two for the Yanks, and one of them
went to waste,
Ryan acquitted himself noblv, at that.
He fanned Whitey Witt and Babe- Ruth
in the eighth, even though the mighty
G. Herman cist an asparagus look at
Bill Klem when he called that third
stiike. Pipp got the only hit in two!
innings off the Holy Cross twirler. j
Waite Hoyt came into the pastime
with the bases -tilled und none out In
, the eighth. After Young had deliv
! ered a sacrifice fly the Flatbush flinger
j turned on the steam and fanned both
! Kelly and Stengel.
j Ross Young was called out on strikes
I in the fourtlf and he almost got a
j fourth strike on Casey Stengel. Young's
] flying bat fell just over the topnotch of
Stengel, who was waiting to bat. The
i Ancient Mariner asked Young to let
I him live at least until the end of the
i series.
rPatton Succeeds Palm
In State Backficld
j STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 4,-Fac
? ing the loss of Mike Palm, quarterback,
| who received a broken bone in his
I ankle last Saturday, Penn State coaches
1 wero encouraged this afternoon when
1 Johnnie Patton, Sowickloy boy who was
j third-string quarterback last season,
; reported in moleskins once more. Pat
: ton looked good at tho start of the uea
i son and then was forced to give up
' football because of eye trubie, the ro?
il osult of an attack of "flu'' during the
| summer.
The injury to Palm was too much for
i John and he decided that life was fit
j enough to get back into togs. It will
take him a few days to get back into
i condition, and Bezdok has put him at
j the helm of the third team temporarily.
: PattOr. is a southpaw and he has had a
! lot of good experience in running a
! team, so that he may be able to fill the
' breach until Palm is once mors; able to
return to the line-tin. Gregory, substi
: tute halfback, was ried out at quarter
1 on the second team to-day, ahd looked
| promising also, while Kerstetter is be
: ing given every chance to make good on
the fir?t team.
] Ryan Has Long Warm-Up
Before Replacing Nehf
The pitching situation was certainly
! topsy-turvy yesterday. Arthur Nehf
j hnd been going very badly toward tho j
; end of the championship season, and j
| when tho game started McGraw had j
j Bill Ryan warming up in the bull pen !
I for a sudden rescue. Miller Huggins i
| had no such relief ready for Joe Bush, i
the leading hurler of the American I
League, yet it was Bush who was even- j
I tually knocked out. Xehf was retired ?
i for strategical purposes only, after I
! holding th?; Yanks to six hits in seven |
? innings. The "?reductio ad ?bsurdtim"
i of the pitching argument was that
Mays wanned up in tno first and sev- |
' entn innings of the game, but Hoyt i
went to the rescue when Bush was |
overwhelmed.
7 Am Confident We'll
Win in the Series"
Says John McGraw
"Yes. I think he lost some. He had
the series," said Manager McGraw
right after the game, "but no moro
so than I was. I've felt all along
that we have the better team and
that if we got any pitching we'd
win. Nehf and Ryan both deserve
a lot of credit for the way they
pitched to-day, although Nehf came
near beating himself. He'd have
had that man easy going to second
in the seventh inning if he had
made a good throw." (This play
was scored as a sacrifice hit and an
error instead of a force and an
error, which it really w;is.)
"Did Bush lose some of his stuff
in the eighth inning?" continued
McGraw in response to a question.
Yes. I think he had some. He had
had a hard game to pitch. We had
had men on bases in a majority of
the innings.
"Groh fooled a lot of them to?
day, I guess, with the kind of ball
he played and wasn't as much all
in ns they thought. No, 1 haven't
decided yet whom I'll pitch to-mor?
row. I never ftittiOUii.ee that the
day before. Then whoever has to
pitch doesn't worry about it over
night. All of my pitchers are
fresh and strong, so why shouldn't
we win ?"
"The fighting power of the
Giants carried them to victory,"
McGraw continued. "The man who
has the best fighters wins the most
ball games.
"Joe Bush was working fine, al?
though I don't believe he had much
stuff on the ball, so I told the
boys, after the Yanks had made
two runs, to just try to meet the
ball?just to stick out their bat?.
"That's what they did in the
eighth inning, and that proved my
beiicf that Bush was using noth?
ing but speed.
"I'll admit we had the breaks of
the game, and that the Yanks
might have had five runs but for
some lucky sensational plays.
"And, say- I'm right proud of
my team. They're never beaten
until they're unconscious."
