Matty Gets Big Welcome on
His Come-Back to Baseball
I (Continued from paga ?venteen)
By W. J. Macbeth
that is noblo and honorable In the
game and the game of life, the man
who had so much to do in making the
Giants and organized _ baseball came
back into a limelight of public ovation
that must have made his greatest
diamond tribute pale into insignifi?
cance. It was worth a winning struggle
of two long years against the great
white phantom for such testimonial as
this cosmopolitan multitude showered
on the greatest and most dearly beloved
figuro that ever graced professional
sport.
Only his impregnable retreat In the
, far reaches of the press stand saved
Matty a more demonstrative reception.
The camera men and movie men were
only fairly begun, it seemed, to snap
and film John Pershing and Kenesaw
Mountain Lundis when Big Six was
seen enterfng tho press box. Then was
such a rush for him as no notable ever
l had commanded at a world's series.
For ten minutes, it seemed, Matty had
to smile an?i turn and pose at all sorts
of angles and even remove his hat while
i the shutters clicked and the film
! hummed.
And better still, a thousand mes?
sages, it seemed, were sent to him trom
| the most prominent socially and finan
j cially in the boxes, solicitous of his
health and future welfare. The robust
! conqueror of the Grim Reaper himself
I never appeared so physically robust
' since that day of the bygone when his
arm was the terror of all opposing
i batsmen. Though he blushed like a
1 schoolgirl from this unsolicited atten
1 tion, the sparkle of Christy Mathew
i son's eye answered the old problem as
! to whether in this age of commercial
| ism honesty is not tho best policy
| after all.
And such a setting for the return of
| the Old Master! Had he selected by
j invitation a galaxy of baseball's by
| gone stars he could not have improved
i upon the class of the impromptu recep?
tion commission. France Chance, Fred
j Clark, Johnny Evers, Roger Bresnahan,
j Wilbert Robinson, Wild Bill Donovan
' ?these wore but a few of tho illus
. trious names of a bygone baseball era
| when commercialism was a sido issue
of the sport.
Ideal in Every Way
The opening contest of the second
; consecutivo world's series for Giants
! and Yankees, respectively, was in
' every respect the greatest tribute ever
paid the game. In numbers the crowd
was limited only by capacity. Yet there
; was not the semblance of any disorder
. either within or without the grounds
' before, during or after the game, nor
', a word spokeg that could have offend
i ed a convent class. Perhaps no city
but New York and no police but our
i finest could have arisen to such an
; emergency as fho occasion demanded.
Unreserved sections were filled to
: overflowing an hour and a half before
? Umpire Bill Klem cried "Play ball!"
I and it is safe to say countless thou
I sands who had been unable to secure
' reservations were finally denied admis
i sion. But even the disappointed took
tho sad news philosophically and prom?
ised to make an earlier start on the
1 morrow.
The management of the Giants (home
i team for the day) provided a number
! of side attractions in the line of en
| tertainment to keep the patient "gen?
eral admissions" amused during their
! long wait. There was the customary
band, of course, which always dec
i orates such state functions. But the
j real hit was the team of Nick Altrock
and AI Schacht. The Washington come
i dian never was in better form and with
i his burlesque golf, tennis and wrest
i nng features made tho long wait a
| pleasure indeed.
; Among the old timers of an almost
forgotten era were John M. Ward, once
manager of the Giants, ? and Mike
Lynch, former pitcher of the Giants
i and Pittsburgh.?;. Like Mr. Ward Mr.
. Lynch is now a succesful lawyer und n
-wonderful specimen of well preserved
physical munhood.
When tho Yankees and Giants pa
| raded from their respective benches to
I meet at second base and then proceed
i in columns to lay a wreath on tho Eddie
Grant memorial tablet the. big crowd
; was fairly taken by storm.
Deadlier of Species Wins
A pair of pedestrians of tho respect?
ive genders put on an exhibition while
the batteries, were being announced.
j The lady fair was bedecked in a white
j form-fitting gymnasium suit which lit
, orally and figuratively knocked Nick
''Altrock "flat" at the plate as sho start?
ed her hike. The pair had done their
| stunt before, but this time the lady won
by the proverbial "eyelash."
Visiting newspaper men will vote for
an indefinite continuation of this here
now exclusive New York world's/series.
Mine hosts Stonoham-McGraw-Ruppert
! Huston Consolidated set quite a record
I in entertaining at their first war coun?
cils of a year ago, but they did not rest
? on those laurels. The entertainment
? this time is even a trifle more profuse
and, fortunately, more exclusive.
The writers are admirably quartered
at the Hotel Commodore, where is to
be found an excellent cuisino in a
spacious press room equipped with
material and convenience for the
recording of baseball history. The boys
ride to and from the park by motor.
And at the Polo Grounds the House of
Stevens is more than living up to its
reputation in all that typifies the best
in the catering line.
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham?
pion of the world, has been appointed
official "bouncer" of tho press box.
Jack is "doing" tho series for a con?
temporary and has been unanimously
elected sergeant-at-arms of the private
promises of the press. So far Al Munro j
Elias has not succeeded in establishing
close contact, but tho king of all the
battlers is not likely to experience any
physical flourishes, as he is well |
known, even to tho representatives of !
the "sticks." !
Father McBride, of Chicago, a boy?
hood friend of Harry M. Stevens,
voted the opening-battle the greatest
game ho had ever seen. "I will not
coro how long the series lasts if all
tho games prove as interesting as that
of to-day," he declared after yester?
day's game. "Who, after being
privileged to witness such a spectacle,
but must indorse America's national
game as the greatest sport in the
world?"
A canvas of the best known sporting
j men about town reveals the fact that
I this series opened as perhaps the very
? lightest speculatively of world's series
! history. In what little betting there
was the Yankees were favorito at f>
to 7, but most of the wagering yester
I day was done on tho first game
proposition and where Artie Nehf
stood at evens with "Bullet" Joe Bush.
Last night it was reported that the
speculative market freshened up a bit
and Giant supporters showed plenty of
i the long green at evens on the series.
Gans Defeats Bartfield in
Ten-Round Bout at Ball Park
By Jack Lawrence
Italian Joe Gans defeafed Soldier Bartfield in a tempestuous ten
round bout at Ebbets Field last night. Gans had the better of all of the
rounds up to the seventh, when Bartfield staged a game rally in a fierce
effort to overcome the Italian's lead. Bartfield finished strong and ripped
open a bloody cut over Gans's left eye in the eighth.
The opening four-round bout was^
stopped in the second round and the
decision awarded to Augie Pisano after
| he had opened up a jagged cut over
j Murray Schwartz's right eye.
In the next scrap Weldon Wing and
| Willio Garber, featherweights, fought
i an interesting draw.
? Dutch Brandt and Eddie Brady
i fought a furious ten-round draw. Both
? boys sailed into each other in the first
! round and kept at it until the finish.
| Brady weighed 126 and Brandt 130.
This was the first of three alleged star
bouts of ten rounds each. The second I
brought together Sonny Smith, of East :
New York, and Willie Spencer, the
East Sider. Smith weighed 120% and
Spencer 117*4.
Sonny Smith was given the decision,
but it looked as though a djaw would !
have been robbing Willie Spencer. The
milling was fast and furious through?
out. Early in the fight Spencer opened ,
up an old cut over Smith's eye and this i
bled profusely during the "latter part !
of the battle.
Gans worked a vicious left jab effec?
tively throughout the fight and he re- j
peatedly jarred th? veteran soldier to j
his heels with this hand. It wa3 his
left hand that won for Italian Joe last
night.
Tho decision was not particularly
popular with the crowd, and there was
a lot of booing when it was announced.
Bartfield weighed 149^ and Gans 152Vi.
There was plenty of wild walloping
in the encounter, which was witnessed
by 8,000 persons. The soldier didn't
seem to have much last night, except
the advice that Dan McKetrick gave
him in his corner between rounds. In j
the first round both swung so hard at j
each other that when they missed both
toppled to the canvas in a heap.
In the fourth round Gans hit Bart
field a left-handed slam on the chain
that sent the Soldier reeling back to
the ropes. In the fifth he did the same ;
thing, and also open?jd up a gash in !
Bai'iicld's mouth. The Soldier locked!
as though he were all set to be knocked
out, Bartfield rallied in the sixth, but :
absorbed a lot of mean hooks to the j
chin in the seventh.
Gans had a slight advantage in the j
eighth and ninth, but in both these ses- |
siona Bartfield sank some wicked hooka j
in Joe's pi'ntry. i

Hagen and Sarazen Compete in
2-Day Mateh, Starting To-morrow
By Ray McCarthy
The high lights of the 1922 golf season, which has been most remark?
able, are quite dim now. But there are still two outstanding contests that
will command considerable interest, at least in the East. One is the match
between Walter Hagen, British opei^ champion, and Gene Sarazen, youth?
ful American title holder; the other the probable meeting of Jesse Sweet
ter, amateur title holder, and Jesse Guilford, ex-amateur champion, in the
Leslie Cup intercity matones.
Hagen and Sarazen will compete at
match play over seventy-two holes on
Friday and Saturday. Over this dis?
tance there is little chance of a fluko
victory being recorded. If either
doesn't happen to have the touch on
the first day he will have an oppor?
tunity to recover the next.
The first half of the match will be
played on the Oakmont Country Club
course, at Pittsburgh, to-morrow. The
second, or final half will take place
at tho beautiful Westchester-Biltmoro
Country Club course at Rye, in Wost
chester County, on Saturday. The
purso nt stake is $3,000. The winner,
of course, will collect the larger por?
tion of this sum.
All of which leads up to the ques?
tion, who will win? Our only answer is
that where two such finished players
are concerned the outcome depends a
great deal on who gets the breaks. For
in no game can the breaks come so
rapidly as they do in golf.
? If present indications meant any?
thing we would rush to get our money
down on Sarazen, for he seems to be
in better form than Hagen right now.
The latter did not fare so well in the
recent Southern open championship, in
fact, did the unusual?for him?of
finishing Jsadly after a good start.
Maintains Keener Interest
^Sarazen is young and can maintain a
keener interest in the game than Ha?
gen, who has been through a long,
gruelling on tho links. Only the other
day after a arduous morning work-out.
with a film concern Sarazen put in a
short session of practice. The young?
ster never loses an opportunity to play
a shot or a half dozen, if possible.
So far as temperament is concerned
Sarazen's is just as good as Hagen's.
The American title-holder is not awed
by reputations or is ho affected by
the changes in a contest. Ho has
proved he is quite as great a match
player as is tho British champion.
In any event this match is likely to
bo the most thrilling and most sen?
sational of any single contest ever
played in this country.
If New York beats* Philadelphia to?
morrow at Piping Rock as it probably
will there will be keen interest in
the meeting of Sweetser and Guilford.
The Bostonian will quite naturally bo
looking for revenge while the cham?
pion will be quite aa anxious to win
to prove that the defeat at Brooklino
was no fluke.
The women's championship ju3t
ended at White Sulphur was the most
remarkable in many respects ever
held. In the first place there was an
unusual number of newcomers who ap?
pear as prospective champions. The?..'
was Miss Frances Halloran of Salt
Lake City; Mrs. H. D. Sterrett, of
Hutchinson, Kansas; Miss Franco
Hadfleld, of Chicago; Miss Dorothy
Klotz, of Chicago; Miss Margaret
Cameron of Los Angeles; Miss Kath?
leen Gorman, of Parkersburg, W. Va.;
Miss Bernice Wall, of Oshkosh, Win.,
and Miss Dorothy Higbie of Chicago.
We could rattle off reams abolit tho
merits of these young girls as golfers,
but space forbids. The manner in
which they hit the ball is simply
amazing. Right now we nominate twr>
of these who are likely to win ,the
title within the ne'xt three or four
years provided they keep at it. They
are Miss Klotz and Mrs. Sterrett.
None, not even the wonderful Mrs.
Feitner, hits a longer driven than
Misr- Klotz and not even the grout
Alexa plays her irons in a sound.-r
manner than Mrs. Sterrett. '
Possesses Good Short Game
How good a short game the Kansas
womnn possesses is shown by the*
score she and Jack Davison turned in
in winning the mixed foursome prize.
Out in 11 they came back in thirty-?
six strokes, having four 3*3 on those;
last nine holes, ?with Mrs. S,terrett
playing all of the second shots.
Oh, there were many other features
to this tournament that never got into
the public prints. Miss Alexa. Stirling
tho day after sho was beaten playing
In tho best ball competition with Mrs.
Dorothy Campbell Hurd had a 75.
That was knock-outvstuf?.
But of all the exhibitions none was
better 'than Mrs. Feitner's, who
after an absence of three years
from the game, not only qualified but
went to the second round, incidentally
beating Miss Marion Hollins in the
first round. We hopo Mrs. Feitner will
appear regularly from now on in
tournament play. And if sho does you
can expect another new champion next
year.

Half an Inch Decides
Battle, Says Jennings
XJUGHEY JENNINGS, the rener
able Giant coach, declared the
Nationals won the game by half an
inch.
"In the eighth," he said, "when
our men filled the sacks, Irish Meuse!
connected. The ball eailod a half
inch above Bush's extended arm and
went for a hit that scored the tying
runs* Half an inch lower and Bush
would have had an easy double
play." ^
Hugglns said that Bob Shawkey
or Carl Mays would do mound duty
for the Yanks to-day, while Mc
Graw declured he would etirt either
Jess Batfnes or "Deacon John" Scott.
Diegel Declares
Mitchell Earned
Southern Title
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 4.?Leo Diegel,
declared tied with Abe Mitchell for
the Southern open golf championship,
in a statement here said he believed
Mitchell entitled to the title.
"I think in fairness to Mitchell I
Bhould give an account of what oc?
curred," Diegel said. "After the tie
on the play-oiT Mitchell suggested to
me that we play three additional holes
to decide the match. I agreed, and in
view of the fact that there were some
members of the association present,
and no objection was made, we did so.
In this play Mitchell defeated me
squarely and fairly, and I therefore
think he is positively entitled to the
championship, and I hope the Southern
Golf Association will reverse its de?
cision. In the event they are unable
to do so I will gladly play another
play-off in Nashville with an admission
charge, the entire proceeds to go to
Mitchell to defray his expenses, as he
Is visiting in this country, playing ex?
hibition matches, and his time, there?
fore, is more valuable than mine.
"I do not want this statement to be
taken as a criticism of the officials of
the Southern Golf Association or of
the Belle Meada Country Club, as I
have grent praise for the way they
handled the tournment and regret ex?
ceedingly any misunderstanding should
have arisen."

Taylor to? Box Ciancy
Sandy Taylor and Eddie Clancy are
on edge for their ten-round bout at
the Fifteenth Infantry Armory to?
morrow evening. So are the princi?
pals in the two remaining tens, Joe
M?lito will box Terry Martin, while
Larry Estridge tackles Kid Jackson.
Former Manager of
Yankees Says He's
Strictly Neutral
"I'm strictly neutral," said Frank
Chance, former peerless leader in the
halcyon days of the Chicago Cubs.
"While I spent most of my time and
acquired what reputation as a player
I had in the National League, it must
also be remembered I managed the
Yankees for two years and naturaliy
have a very tender spot in my heart
for everything associated with the
New York Americans.
"Still I must confess I put down a
small sentimental wager on the
chances of McGraw, my one time highly
respected contemporary. Not because
of any personal opinion as to the
merits of the respective contestants,
but because of that seeming fatality
that when a team once beats another
in such an importtyit series it usually
