A smart shower fell early today with a rapid clearing, followed by a cold wind that swept the field.

Led by Ruth, around whom centers the series hopes of the Yankees and the problem of the Giants, the Americans virtually slug- ged their way to the 1921 pennant, while McGraw’s men, with apparently greater odds to overcome, achieved victory through daring and cleverness. YANK PITCHERS TO HAVE HARD SLEDDING. ‘The Giant hurlers probably will find the batting conthirntion of Miller, Peck, Ruth, Meusel, Pipp and Ward, one of the toughest they over have een called upon to solve. ‘Peck is al- Ways a dangerous hitter, and Miller, who precedes him is by no means easy. Then comes the mighty Ruth. To pass him will mean facing the fearful Bob Meusel and to pitch to hitfi means than at anytime the ball might go sail- ing over the stands for a homer. Behind Meusel and Pipp, comes Ward, McNally and Schang, and, none of them can be taken too lightly. Ex- perts believe the Yankee batting or- der is one of the most formidable in series history.

That kid can soak “em, too.” The Giants’ defense, they acknowledged in a clubhouse talk to- day centered around Ruth's bat. “If the Giants can stop the Babe from hitting.” stld Johnny Evers, former manager of the Chicago Cubs, who has been looking the Yankees over to aid the Giants in their plans, “the series should be won by the National leaguers. Ruth won't hit in the pinches. The Giants will let him walk.” The opening day had all the frills that have gone in the saries of yes- terregr, The usual brass band near the Giants’ bench piped its merriest melodies, sometimes blowing sour notes while dodging foul balls dur ing the batting practice, Moving plc- ture operators darted ntre and there filming every bit of interesting move- ment—"Babe” Ruth hitting {magin- ary homeruns, the two Meuse! broth- ers, “Homerun” Kelly of the Giants swinging at a fast one and Carl Mays cms wang CONFIDENT BUT NOT COCKEY” HUGGINS STATES IDEAL FOR BIG GAMES PA GRAW RELIES UPON MEN’S COURAGE AND ABILITY LOUISVILLE, land warmer.” Such, in substance, wai Ky., Oct. 5—"Fairy NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—"I am confident, but not cockey,”|fccl== that tt te all over but th Py yf houtit the weather man's promise for today |eclared Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, today. mcucee would he foolish with. e,peub e firet game of the “lit!
