By W. B. Hanna
Xi??? world's series ball games are running to hard and close fighting
j?d much depending on every move. A ten-inning tie?3 to .3?was the
-??lt of the second one between the Giants and the Yankees, the teams
locked ?n a cllach which Promised to hold ?"definitely, without any decision

? Si' about it that drags.
W?or the second time McGraw trotted
out pitching just as Wily and effective
as any so far produced by the more
highly rated pitching staff of the
Yinkcei. Calcul?t-.or.? so far have
been a? effective as the Yankees'. The
Yankees thus far have not equalized
that with hitting as strong as that of
the Giants, but mighty close.
Hitting About Even
The hitting yesterday was practi?
cally even. The Giants bunched theirs
in the first inning and died away to a
breath after that. The Yankees had to
slue and toil to overcome, the crafty
?tcbine of Jesse Barnes, who has
mach of the thoroughbred in him in
?hit he stands up to tests.
' The Yankees, good stayers by habit,
hammered and plugged until they
hacked the Giant lead down to noth?
ing, and with that they had to be
content, though they probably weren't.
The official scoring gives tv * teams
eight hits apiece- -as near an even dis?
tribution aa mathematics peri' it--but
the writer would give the Yankees nine
hits. He would have give a hit and
an error on that ball of Dugan's in
the first inning, not just an error.
Dugan, Pipp. Ward, Ruth and Meusel
did the batting which gave the Yan?
kees their runs. Groh, Frisch and
Irish Met sel combined for the sole
Giant assault en masse. Irish Meusel
drove a percussive home run into the
?Seftfield stand with two on bases. As
a partial counter irritant to that
Aaron Ward volleyed one into the same
stand, nearer to thc foul line, with
nobody on base.
The Yankee?- had the steady?and not
flothful, either- the Giants the bril?
liant, fielding. In the field the Giants
?re the mere excitable of the two, but
tt*e<* hav? more elan, just as their
\?Wni is attended by more of the
cvnctDtrat^d essence of sock.
Frisch'? Brilliant Work
Frisch'? incursions into the realm of
the fluorescent, so to speak, included
. a rannin;,- catch out in center field
after which he had to pedal fast to
keep from ailing, and a diving stop to
his rigiit, both hands on the ball, and
Hi nose making a gulley in the du*st.
For that he didn't care at all, for
piaster is cheap and noses common.
What interested him was that he un
tanglej himself and came up in time
to throw out the batter, Everett Scott.
Touch and go, glitter and glare, all
the skill and keen eyesight they could
iiiiiimon to make a base hit; so went
thii game. Frisch's feature fielding,
f?diar.t as it was, was not the premier
'eat, or feats of the day afield. Whitey
?V'itt had the honor, Whitey, whose
work runs not to pyrotechnics.
Whitey made a play in the tenth
inning, which was the most important
and sensational, if not brilliant, of the
?ame. Bancroft in that round picked
on one of Shawkey's fast ones and
?hot a line single to center. Witt's
arm is a bit bogus and he doesn't
throw well. Bancroft tried for second.
Witt had to get that bail in there and
knew it.
, So^eJ'1?PPed it along the ground
unorthodox but effective. The ball
came straight and Scott, swinging for
Bancroft, nipped him. A case of a man

ponible and getting awav with it. A
lice chance to win was ruined by the

?Barnes knew every Yankee strength
Wd weakness, and his blend of slow
Mua, floppy curves, such as he worried
??nth with, fast ball and control was

Ruth drifted to Kelly, and tallied when
Pipp's grounder smash took a can?
tankerous skit away from Kelly.
Two Hits Get Nothing
The second inning was eventful, im?
portant, fruitless and to the Giants a
disappointment. Stengel outfooted an
infield hit to Ccott, developing en
route a costly charleyhorse, Snyder
singled to right, a hit, like Pipp's in
the first, lucky in the extreme. Pipp
would have had it if it hadn't taken
a wayward bound. Therefore, the break
against the Giants caused by Stengel's
lameness had its offset in the luck at?
tending Snyder's hit.
Two on and nobody out wasn't so
bad. It might have been worse for
the Giants. The Yanks got out of the
pickle because Barnes after trying to
bunt hit into a double play and Ban?
croft flied to Ruth. It wasn't until
Stengel tried fo hobble to second that
his lam&pess was discovered.
Many fans booed Barnes in the third
inning and without any good reason
at all. He was pitching to what he
considered Ruth's weakness?he wasn't
trying to pass him, as the unthinking
thought. He wasn't sap enough to
pitch to the Babe's strength. He want?
ed to win the game, not lose it. After
Dugan had doubled with two out in the
third Barnes pitched lobs to Babe and
a pass was the outcome. Pipp hit the
first ball and at feathery tap to Barnes
resulted.
Ward knocked his homer in the
fourth with two out. Shawkey gave
two passes in the third, then fanned
Kelly for the third out. Frisch caused
him a lot of worry in the fifth. Frankic
bunted his way to first, two out at the
time. Between his steal and a wild
pitch he reached second, and he reached
third on a second wild pitch. He ran
?far up the line from third, but Shawkey
?wasn't to be harried into a balk and got
I Irish Meusel on a grounder to Scott.
Bleak Innings for Giants
In the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth
and tenth innings the Giants had only
three men on bases and not one on sec?
ond. Shawkey was slapping them
through with a rush and a jump. The
Yankees were getting one on, one at a
time, and with somebody out. The
score was tied in the eighth when
Ruth crossed the opposition and tapped
a two-bagger over Groh's head and
Meusel followed with a double.
Ruth, before Meusel doubled, tried
to steal home and struck a pose when
Meusel fouied the ball, probably sav?
ing Ruth and the game. The Babe
might have made it, but it isn't likely.
Meusel's double was a hot shot to
center, and in this inning, if in no
i other, the Yankees rather outsmarted
the Giants.
However, Barnes came right back
with the thinking stuff. Scott had
singled with or.e out and been forced
by Shawkey. Shawkey tried to sacri?
fice Scott to second. If he had done
so he would have won the game, for
Witt singled after Shawkey's tap to
Barnes had forced Scott at second.
Witt's hit would have scored Scott
from second. A high curve sent Dugan
fishing, and his strike-out left Shawkey
and Witt on the lodges.
In the tenth the Yankees were up
there as long as the Giants, and the
Giants had short shrift. Ruth was
tempted to go for one of those dawdling,
elusive, wormy curves and fouled to
I Snyder. Pipp lunged also and bounced
to Kellv; Snvder seized Bob Meusel's
? foul.

White Sox and Tie
City Title Series
CHICAGO. Oct. 5.?The Chicago Na?
tionals evened up the series for the
city championship with their American
League rivals to-day by winning a
one-sided game. 10 to 3. It was the.
first game the Nationals had ?von since
1915, the junior organization having
won thirteen straight games since that
year.
The Cubs launched a heavy bom
bardment against Ted Blankenship and
i drove him from the box in the seventh
i inning, after which Manager Gleason
1 tried out a couple of his young pitch
I ers. Osborrie was hit hard in only two
: innings and pitched great ball in the

Protest From
Heydler About
Yanks' Tickets
National League President
Says There Was a Lack!
of Real Consideration i
J>hn Heydler, president of the Na?
tional League, has written to Colonel;
Ruppert, president of the Yankee base- !
ball club, protesting against the seats
allotted to the former for distribu
tion among his National League club I
owners. The seats are in sections 23 !
and 24, the last named at the extreme !
north wing of the lower grandstand,
and the back rows of Section 22. A i
copy of the letter has been forwarded
to Judge Landis and one to Ban John- !
son, president of the American League, !
who, with Heydler, compose the ad
visory cou3icil of baseball.
The seats allotted by the Giants to !
Ban Johnson for American League dis?
tribution are in Section 19, and Mr. |
: Heydler, indigna.il that the National
| Leaguers were not treated as consider?
! ately 3n the matter of location, says
that had he known his league was to
, get no better seats he would not have
'handled any for distribution among
i them.
"My club'peoplc are complaining to
j me of the location of their seats," said
j the National League head. "I can't
? blame them much, but it isn't my fault.
I and I shall tell them that hereafter |
I they will have to apply direct to the |
i contending American League club. I !
! will not have anything more to do j
I with it.
"It was unfair that we did not re- j
ceive the consideration from the New!
York American League club that the
New York National League club showed j
I American League men. Our club own
era are entitled to the same recogni?
tion and courtesies that theirs are, and
I am not letting the matter pass with?
out a strong protest to the advisory
council and to the New York American
League club."

Huggins Says He Was
Much Surprised When
Umpire Called Game
DRAWING a heavy bath towel
around him as lie stole from
under the showers in the Yankee
clubhouse after the game, Miller
Huggins consented to give his
views of what had happened yes?
terday and what might befall to?
day. "Listen," chattered "Hug,"
"vou coulda' knocked me down with
a" feather when Hildebrand called
that game. I didn't know a thing
about it until I saw the Giant
players run off the field. I cer?
tainly think we were on the win?
ning side of the argument as things
were going. We started three
runs behind and we made them all
up by the time the eighth inning
came around. Say, they'd never
have scored on Shawkcy if he
pitched till midnight. After the
second inning they got three hits
off him, and how many were clean?
One, just one! That single by
Bancroft in the tenth."
Huggins had no quarrel with the
umpires on the point of calling the
game, except that he felt the \anks
were hurt worse than the Giants
by the draw decision, and he felt
he should have been informed of
the intentions of the arbiters, as
he might have planned his battle
differently in the ninth inning.
For to-day the Yankee skipper
will depend on Waite Hoyt, the
Flatbush flinger. "Yep," said
"Hug," "Waite will toss them up,
and believe me I think that boy is
going to ffivo them something io
Took at. His fast ball just zips
right past the bats. He .thinks he
can beat them, and so do I. And I
think Sharkey can beat them, and
Bush, too. Discouraged? Not me!

Says John McGraw
(???"fjT was a fine ball game," said
-?*? John McGraw, "and the breaks
were with the Yankees. They never
would have escaped with a tie
otherwise. I'm speaking of the sec?
ond inning, when Stengel pulled
that charleyhorse and went only to

Pipp. He'd have made third easily,
and that would have meant Shaw
key out of there.
"Stengel didn't even tell me he

I'd have put a runner in for him.
"Shawkey and Barnes both pitched

"I'm sorry it was called like
that, on account of the effect it

There are people who might think
we want to get in an extra game,
but let me tell you the players on
both sides are working^ their heads
off to wind up this series as soon
as possible and win four in a row."
Barnes Pitched One
More Ball Than Shawkey
The respective pitchers in yester?
day's game worked much harder than
the moundsmen in the opening con?
test. The pitching analysis shows that
Jess Barnes tossed the ball up to the
plate 147 times to 146 for Shawkey.
As against these figures the Yankee
pitchers Bush and Hoyt threw 120
balls in the opening game. Nehf and
Ryan pitched 117 balls. j
The total for the Yankee pitchers is
now 266 and the Giants* hurlers' total
is 264.

Tennis Linesmen Object to
Criticism of Their Rulings
_i_ 9
By Fred Hawthorne
In common with other local tennis critics, I have recently received a
communication fro3ii the New York Lawn Tennis Association, relative to
the work of the linesmen both at Philadelphia, in the national singles
championship tournament, and in the East-West matches at Forest Hills.
Before tro im? further. ? wanit to\t>-?-?-??
I stress the point that the work of the
? umpires and linesmen this season has
| been uniformly good. The men who
volunteered for n ?iazardous, thankless
I job went into it with their eyes open,
or they should have done so, and there?
fore they should have realized that
i mistakes in calling were bound to
?stand out prominently and to be com
j mented upon, adversely, of course.
Surely it is not necessary to point
out that such is the way of the world.
A man may go through most of his
?existence leading an exemplary life
and then make one mistake. Thcre
! after all else is forgotten and the
! world always associates that man-with
that one mistake. Call it injustice,
narrow, what you will, but it is human
I nature, and we shall never get away
i from it.
Linesmen Clearly at Fault
But, really, the position of the hap
| less tennis critic is getting to be fully
j as hazardous as that of the linesman.
11, in common with a majority of the
other tennis writers, had occasion to
I criticize the work of a linesman in thc
. Tilden-Johnston match at Germantown,
, a match, incidentally, upon which the
[national singles title hinged. The
j linesman failed to call a ball out that
| was so palpably out as to admit of no
i doubt. The linesman himself could not
have failed to call it properly had he
| been giving his undivided attention
; to the line, but he was more interested
in watching the man in the opposite
court serving and to obtain a better
view sat sideways on his chair.
My position in the press box at Ger?
mantown happened to place me directly
j opposite the line in question, and be
? side me sat a critic in whose good
? judgment ? have implicit faith. We
| both agreed at the same instant that
the ball was far out, as did practically
everybody ebe sitting in that vicinity,
and the next day the newspapers com?
mented on it in more or less detail. To
protect the linesman holding the cor?
responding line in the opposite court it
was necessary to mention the name of
the man at fault.
Two weeks later at a local club I
was the center of a raging mob of
members of the Tennis umpires' As?
sociation, who. demanded to know why
I I had criticized the work of the lines?
man, and asked if I didn't realize that
cut of several hundred decisions cor?
rectly made in the tournament, this
was a lone instance "Would you have
mentioned my name, if I had made a
wrong decision?" demanded one irate
linesman, of old acquaintance. He
was assured that such would undoubt?
edly be the case, under similar cir?
cumstances, and the announcement
only served to add fury to the fire of
denunciation.
A question of Fact
It is far more pleasant, surely, to
write pleasantly of things, to give the
written "pat on the back" that marks
the writer as a good fellow, than to
criticize adversely, but it is not al?
ways in agreement with a strict In?
terpretation of the facts as to the
technical points of a match. To fail
to mention such an incident as that
occurring in the Tilden-Johnston
match at Germantown, would be to
fail to present the news of that match,
and, in journalistic understanding,
that is what the reporter is there to
do, irrespective of all else. He would
be a renegade to his duty did he do
otherwise.
Of course, the whole thing simmers
down to a question of fact. Either the
linesman is right and lthe player and
1 critic wrong or vice-versa, and in the
? great majority of decisions the lines
I man is undoubtedly correct, and play
i manifestly at fault as that mentioned
! above it is the plain duty of the critic
' to make mention of it, and he will
! probably continue to do so.
! Nobody will question the fact that
the Tennis Umpires' Association, be?
done a most valuable work in increas?
ing the efficiency of umpiring and lin?
ing in tennis matches, and that the1
work done in this country is probably
superior to that in any other country,
but the members of the association
should not take ths -ittitude that they
are immune from criticism.
Saints Take Second
Battle of Series
With Orioles, 2-1
BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.?Mainly be?
cause of some wonderful pitching by
Rube Benton, former big league south?
paw, the St. Paul club evened up the
series with Baltimore by capturing the
second game this afternoon, 2 to 1,
Benton held the hard-hitting Inter?
national league crew to three hits, and
after McAvoy had driven in Balti?
more's only run in the second inning
with a short single to right, Rube was
never in danger. Only thirty-one men
faced the St. Paul ieft-hander. He
showed a sharp-breaking curve, and
j. his control was almost perfect, only
one Oriole being passed.
Opposed to Benton was Lefty Groves,
the gaunt side-wheeler who fanned
twelve players of the New York Giants
in an exhibition game lflBt_ week.
Groves fanned nine of the Saints to?
day, but was wild and his bases on
balls and two errors back of him were
responsible for both of St. Paul's runs.
Another hero for St. Paul was Haas,
who helped save the game in the
seventh when he robbed Walsh of a
triple by a wonderful diving catch.
Baltimore scored the first run in
the second inning. Walsh singled over
short, and was forced at second by
Bentley. Boley filed to right. Bishop
walked and McAvoy, who won the open?
ing game with a homer with two on,
came through in the pinch with a
single to right, putting Bentley over.
Groves ended the inning by flying to
center.
The Saints tied the score in the
fourth. After Maisel tossed off Haas
Riggert walked. Berghammer fanned.
Boone singled to center and- then
Groves passed Dressen and Gonzales;
in succession, forcing home a run. 1

Fitzurse, Baseball's Inventor. Glad
Sport Has Grown to Popular Gamp
By Don Marquis
"I am glad to see." said Captain Peter Fitzurse last evening after j
the ball game, "that the game of baseball has developed into such a j
sport and such a popular pastime.
"I feel that the general interest of the American public in thc
game is something of a personal tribute to myself.
"For I invented the game. You have heard many discussion?, no
tloubt, as to how it originated. Certain Englishmen have claimed that
it was merely a development of a stupid insular sport called rounder?-.
This is not true.
"Fifteen years ago, in South Africa, an English offWr named
Major Cardigan Jones-Hawtrey, repeated in my presence the inLmagi
native and slanderous statement that baseball is derived from rounders,
and I called him to the field of honor, where I sent a bullet crashing
through his brain.
"The development which the game has undergone was implicit in
the game from the beginning. 1 planned it to evolve along its present
lines, and it has evolved as I planned it.
'The best baseball team which I ever saw personally wan on which
I organized among the Dyaks of Borneo in 1867. Necessarily, I had
two nines. Even the second nine was better than any other that I
have ever seen outside of Borneo. How much of this excellence, was
due to the natural autitude of thc Dyak for the sport and how much was
due to my own tutelage I do not know.
"I invented the curved bail. And, incidentally, although it lia?
never been officially recorded, I am the only living person who has ever
thrown a regulation league ball more than four hundred feet. On June
22, 1*889, at Sydney. Australia, at 4 o'clock in thc afternoon, I threw a
ball 147 -'ards 2 feet O1,-* inches,
"I wish to thank publicly both the Giants and the Yankees for the
manner in which they are carrying on the traditions which I estab?
lished. I feel that I have given a great sport to a great people, a people
worthy of my gift. I am an old man now?ninety-five my next birth?
day?and as I go forward toward my inevitable decease I am increas?
ingly proud of what I have done in creating this splendid game."

Landis, at Bay, a Tragic Figure
Picture of Judge's Sorrowful Face Blots Other
Memories of Game for Hammond
By Percy Hammond
We collected at the Polo Grounds
yesterday a dozen or more thrills, th<>
report of which, we thought, might get
into print in an obscure corner of The
Tribune's encyclopedia of the momen- '
tous tilt.
But we lost nearly all of them when,
as we were leaving, we passed Judp-c
Landis's box. An irritated mob was in i
front of it, making known its exas
peration by umbrageous outcri???
against him. It was calling him "thief"
and "robber," and its dudgeon was so
high that it was giving ribald cheers
for "Shuffling Phil" Douglas and other
recreants and scapegraces of the base?
ball business.
The judge, surrounded by the con?
stabulary, his gray head bare, his back
against the box-rail, looked out ov;>r
the peevish multitude with as tragic
an expression upon his face as w*
have ever seen distressing a human
physiognomy. The squarest of the
baseball sports, he suddenly found him?
self indicted for cheating in a game. He
was the innocent and startled goat of
and enraged public suffering unjustly
from the tactlessm'ss, if that is not too
nasty a term, of others. It was Judge
Landis's look of agony in front of this
crowd of riled 100 per cent Americans
that caused us to forget the other
thrills of which it had been our pur?
pose to write this morning.
? * ?
Since the ??porting journalists con
eider it unbashful and not modish to
use the pronoun "I" in their annals of
the arena, one is employing to-day the
corporate word "we." What an enjoy?
able and modest subterfuge it is?to
say "we" in place of "I." How much
less pretentious and egotistic it is to
include you all in our own opinion
with a "we" than it is to segregate
one's self and one's views with an "I."
One may say "we" eight times in a
paragraph and be regarded as diffident,
but if one ventures a couple of "I's" in
the same space he is suspected accu?
rately of being a coxcomb and vainglo?
rious. Hereafter we shall be for nouns
of multitude, signifying many. Fare?
well "I"! We are henceforth commit?
ted to the demure and blushing plu?
rals.
Among the few things we recall be?
sides Judge Landis's haunting, unhappy
visage is the home run that E. Meusel.
of the Giants, hit high over the head of
his brother, R. Meusel, of the Yanks, in
one of the early innings. As R. Meusel
backed up against the cigarette sign?
board and stood with helpless out?
stretched arms while his kinsman's
ball sailed over his head, bringing in
three runs, what, we reflected, were R.
Meusel'a emotions? Did his sorrow
over this mishap to his team exceed
his satisfaction over the prowess and
glory of his brother, E. Meusel? We
vaguely recall that we decided that R.
Meusel regretted this blow by E. Meu?
sel, but that his grief in the matter
was a little mitigated by the fact that
it was given by a member of the Meu?
sel family.
? ? ?
What a dramatic figure is Mr. Ruth
in these contests! He is, in baseball
always a climax. He represents Hope
and Catastrophe, and whether he
strikes out, or hits for the terminus,
he is an ever recurring denoument
If he muffs a fly in Tight field he is
no less an instrument of agitation
than if he catches it. The least of his
gestures when at the tee is pregnant
with significance, and there is as much
uproar when he misses one of Mr.
Barnes's slothful slants as there is
when ie meets it successfully. Mr.
Ruth performed his job pretty well
yesterday, though we felt like loathing
him when after the game he volup
tiouslv sailed past as in his motor?
car while we were waiting humbly in
a long- line to get onto the elevated.
Mr. Ruth bore, between his teeth,
the longest, blackest and presumably
the most expensive ci-rar that wa
smoked by baseball hero. We were par?
ticularly humiliated because we we: ;
?imping: along on crutches, having got
a sprained ankle last Friday while
playing tennis in Brooklyn with
rough Ti ibune bo?, s.
* ' ? *
What else is there to record about
the conflict thai, the expert seers will
not record? Casey Stengel, having got.
upon second l>h?-e in the first inning,
was removed from the game and Mr.
Cunningham, a fleeter person, was sub?
stituted to run for him Whereupon,
Mr. Stengel, with elaborate ennui, de-'
serted the field and turned his back
upon it. Mr. Stengel had irore interest
in the game than most of those *rho
wer?.- present, yet he pooh-poohed j?
details and sought the cooling showers.
?We recall Mr. Stengel as a basebail
cynic. We once heard him tell Ring
Lardner that deep-thinking in the na
tional pastime was a myth. "When
you tell a pitcher to 'pass' a man," said
he, "you usually had to tell him what
base to pass him to."
There -were many other unconsldercd
trifles in yesterday's gamo which we
wish had not been obliterated by thai
spectacle of Judge Landis's pathetic \
countenance. Mr. Frisch's athletic?,
for instance, as, in the infield, he in?
terfered miraculously with the inten
l tions of the Yankee batters; Mr.
Hughy Jennings's aimless. chattering?
as he coached at third base for the
Giant.-.; Mr. Smith's momentary glory
when as a pinch hitter he hit a vigoi
ous. close foul, and was called back
only to strike out; Mr. Shawkey's
morose demeanor as he pitched what
he believed to be strikes to the Giant
batters, only to have them decided to
be balls by the umpire; those crucial,
ail-important moments after the eighth
inning when the devices of Kenial
Pasha were forgot by us -who were
there, and Thrace was but a piffling
suburb, less consequential in the
world's turmoil than either infield a1
the Polo Grounds. The afternoon wai
perfect, in its -way. It might hav<
been more interesting at the end i
among those present had been Mi
Reed Landis, who is the son of Judg
Landis. He was a g->od aviator In th
war, and I, not "we," venture to sa;
that he would have pulled the nose o
any of those who yesterday, with con
??iderable thoughtlessness, insulted h;
four-square parent.
Two Golfers in

SHAWNEE - ON - DELAWARE, Vt
Oct. 5.?-So fast wr.s the pace in t'r
testing round of the autumn invit
tion golf tournament at tie Shawns
Country Club to-day that two playe
with score of 77 tied for the med;
They were Hamilton Gardner, of Bu
falo, and Hawley Quier. of the Ber
shire Club, of Reading, Pa. Those wi
totals of 88 failed to make the lir
sixteen.
Gardner, who was runner -up in
tournament here a few years af
made a great b;d for the medal I
coming back in 3f>. which included a
at the eleventh hole. He was 3 und
4's for thc last seven holes.
On the other hand, Quier might ha
had a 76, as all needed was a 3 at t
eighteenth. His delve failed to mi
the green. G. V Toms, a represen
tive of the Red Hill Club in Calif?
nia holed his mashie shot at the 11
yard fifth for a 1. That was all
did, the other seventeen holes requ
ing 95 more strokes.
