Speaker Breaks Two Base Hit Record CHICAGO, Oct. 8.—Babe Ruth’s forty-first home run, Tris Speaker's fifty-ninth double, the retention of their half game lead over Cleveland by the Detroit Americans and the signing of Miller Huggins as manager of the New York Americans for another year, were the outstanding happenings Sunday as the major leagues baseball teams brought to a close the 1923 season Ruth's homer came in tho first inning of the Yankee-Athietics game at Yankee stadium, and on the first ball pitched to him by Slim Harris. The feat brought Babe to a tle with Cy Williams for home run honors of the season, each having registered 41. Speaker's fifty-ninth double ad- vanced the world’s two base hit rec- ord. The Cleveland manager smash- ea the old record the past week and has twice broken his own mark since that time. Detroit, by means of a ninth inning rally against St. Louts held its half game advantages over Cleveland for gecond place in the American league. The final standing reads: Detroit .539; Cleveland. 563. Commenting upon the engagement of Miller Huggins for another year as manager of the Yankees, Col Ruppert said: “I don’t belleve New Yorkers really appreciate the great work Huggins has done. I signed him be- fore the world series #0 that he might go ahead and win the series for us.” In the concluding games of the Jeague season, Brooklyn beat the New York Giants, 6 to 1; Pittsburgh deat Cincinnat!, 7 to 5; Chicago and St. Louis split 2 double header, the former winning the first game. 10 to 3, and losing the second game 38 to 6. The Philadelphia team defeated the New York Yankees 9 to 7; Cleve land defeated the Chicago White Sox 9 to 6, and Detroit won, 7 to 6, over the St. Louls Americans, In the National Philadelphia and Boston find themselves below .400, with .825 and .351 respectively. A two-piece set at St. Louis per- mitted the Chicago Nationals to run in an array of recruits and lose a game. In the twin clash Hack Miller smashed homer twenty and Arnold Statz chased a few fly balls tn each game of 1923%s5 154. Boston wound up the season at the foot of the American league percen- tage column but with a healthy list of 61 victories.

Babe Ruta was not one of the neroes and, on the other hand, was a terrible bust. In seventeed trips to the plate he got only two sin gles and a double for the grand average of .118.

Last year the-+ same vaunted strength of the Yankees In the box did not deliver a champion. ship and the Giants, playing real baseball behind comparatively poor pitchers, won the series. In Sam Jones, Walte Hoyt, Herb Pennock, Joe Bush and Bob Shaw- key the Yankees have perhaps the most formidable staff of pitchers that a baseball club has ever pos- sessed, There may have been better pitchers on other teams in the past and there may be better pitchers now in the major leagues, but there never have been more better pitchers on any club. Against them the Giants staff, con sisting of Jack Scott, Art Neff, Mule Watson, Rosy Ryan and Jack Bent- ley, suffers by comparison. At his best, each of the Giant pitchers would be a match for one of the Yankee hurlers, but the weakness of the McGraw staff consists of its lack of consistency. oe . McGraw can never be certain when he makes a selection that he will not have to make a substitution in the hox before the end of an inning. The erratic form shown by the Giant pitchers through two seasons has led “wise cracks” to be made recent- ly that Jones would pitch the open- ing game of the series for the Yankees and that Scott, Nehf, Ry and Jonnard would pitch for Giants, Coming with the serfes of last fall.

He has been so skillfully handled that he maintained his form through the entire season and was most effective at the end of the schedule, Herb Pennock, the former Boston southpaw, has also had a great sea son, The Yanks had no left-hander to shoot at the Giants last year, but that was not much of @ handicap as the Nattonal League champions have never been a mark for southpaws. Pennock, however, will be a valu: able addition to the team. eee Waite Hoyt 1s arriving more and more as he gets older. He has all the mechanical qualifications to be- come a great pitcher, but it was not until this year that he showed the de- velopment of a tendency to think along with his arm. Hoyt is a game kid and an experienced veteran in spite of his years. He may be the star pitcher of the series. Bob Shawkey 1s well along in years, but he is a great “money” pitcher where his superlative steadi- ness makes him a most valuable pitcher in a tight place. Shawkey has a lot of good games in his arm and he has been workeé carefully al! season. ‘He may be right for the series. !oo Bush dia not have as good a enson this year as last, but he ts 2 fine pitcher nud a valuah» man on the offense. He is sure :o We start in one game, and if he is right the game ought to be in, eee Jack Scott was the hero of the series last year when he took the urm that had been given up as hope: less by two major league clubs into the box and shut out the Yankees. Perhaps it was luck that he got away with it, but he is a big strong fellow, a cold weather pitcher and when right he is there. Bill Ryan Is the ace of the Giant pitching staff and he {s sure to start At lent one game. He 1s not sure to finish it, however, and nelther is Art Netf, the leading southpaw of tue team, who has had a very dis appointing season, Mule Watson, secured from the Braves early in the season, is a good ‘itcher when he {s {n shape, but he hasn't been in condition to do his best during most of the season. If there is to be a big hero among the Ginnt pitchers, it is Mkely as not to be Jack Bentley, the $65,000 south. paw purchased from Baltimore. If he doesn’t win a couple of games in the box, he ts Mable to break up a couple as a pinch-hitter, Bentley is a good pitcher. Pitcher for ptecner, the Yanks are a vastly superior team, but with no means of ascertaining, there !s no reason to believe that the reversal of form shown last year will not be repeated.
