NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—(By The Associated Press).— His mighty left arm weakened from overwork, his mind weary from the strain of out-thinking, out-witting his op- ponents, Arthur Nehf, McGraw’s last pitching ace, collap- sed yesterday in the eighth inning of the sixth world’s series game and the New York Yankees rode to triumph and their first world championship. Che Casper Daily Cribune *| THE TRIBUNE'S PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS |* PAGE SEVEN. First in News Of All Events Hail to the King! ‘They overcome a three run lead to win the game, 6 to 4, and the series, four games to two. The Yankees, baffled through the early innings by this pitching wiz- ard, Nehf, entered the eighth three runs behind, and it seemed certain that the Glants would win the game, square the series and necessitate a seventh game to decide the cham- plonship. Aanon Ward, the Yankeo second baseman whose bat has been busiest of all during the series, was first at bat in that Inning. He hit a high one that was gath- ered in by first baseman Kelly and Nehf still appeared strong. Only two hits made off his delivery then, one of them Ruth’s home run in the first inning. Then Schang went to pat, hit the first ball pitched to left for a safety. Everett Scott next— not a dangenous batter, yet he hit a single down first base line. Schang went to third, Miller Hug- gins’ brain began to work. Hot- mann was sent to pinch hit for Pen- nock, the pitcher. On four straight pal's Hofmann walked.

Dugan walked, again on four straight balls. Another run forced in. Yankees one run behind. A long series of cheers and shout! from the stands—Babe Ruth at bat. The crowd calling for a home run, a single, anything for that one run to tie. But the Babe, the mightiest batter of them all, struck out. A moan from the stands, Bob Meusel at bat, two out, the bases still full Meusel’s bat cracked the ball to cen- terfield for a single. Two runs crossed the plate. Cunningham, re- triveing the ball, threw wildly to third and another run counted. ‘The scoring ended there and so aid the series. John McGraw's great baseball ma- chine was broken down by the sus tained attack of the Yankee men. Every pitcher on McGraw's staff tried and fafled to check the batting streak of the American 'eague cham- pions. In the very first game John Watson was batted from the box by the Yankee sluggers. The Giants won that game, however, partly through bad luck experienced by Waite Hoyt, the younthful flinger, of the Yankees and a surprise home run by Casey Stengel in the ninth. ‘The score was 6 to 4, Stengel’s hom- er providing the margin of victory. 'The second game, won by _ the Yankees, 4 to 2, saw another Giant pitcher Hugh McQuillan, put to rout. Pennock pitched that game for the Yankees, Arthur Nehf won the third game, defeating “Sad Sam’ Jones of the Yankees by virtue of Casey Stengel’s second home run, the only score of the game. Casey thus had won almost singlehanded two games for the Giants. ‘Th fourth game Bob Shawkey won for the Yankees, 8 to 4. In this contest the Yankees knocked out John Scott, routed McQuillan for the second time, and batted three) other Giant twirlers. In the fifth game, another Yankee victory by 8 to 1, Jack Bentley, the southpaw bought from Baltimore for a prince Ty sum, fe't the sting of Yankeo blows and had to be relieved. Scott, Virgil Barnes and Jonnard were ‘used after Bentley's departure And yesterday Nehf, the only pitcher de- pencable as a hurler of the staff, succceded for aeven and onethird 1 nings, only to go the way of his mates in the end. Ryan got credit for winning the first game for the Giants and a de- feat was chalked against Joe Bush, who had relieved Hoyt and off whose deliv: Stengel hit his homer. Pen- Sock: Won the second, McQuillan be- ing the loser; Nebf won the third game from Jones; Shawkey won the fourth game from John Scott; Bush took the fifth from Bentley and Pennock the deciding contest from Nehf. In the six games the Giants, 202 times at bat, scored 17 runs off 47 hits, of which five were home runs, three three base hits, and two two baggers. Their batting average was 283. Tho Yankees, 205 times at bat, made 30 runs, 60 hits, including eight two baggers, four three bag- gers and five home runs for a total batting average of .293. The Yan- kees drew twenty bases on balls, the Giants only 12. Babe Ruth scored the most runs in the series, eight. The Babe made seven hits in 19 times at bat, was walked eight times, struck out six times and batted in three runs. His batting average was .368. Aaron Ward of the Yankees and Frank Frisch of the Giants, rival second basemen, collected the most hits, get- ting ten each. One of Frisch's blows was a three bagger and one of} Ward's a homer. The total attendance for the six games of the series, 301,430, eclipsed by more than 30,000 the previous tendance record set in the world’s series of 1921 between the teams. The rece'pts for the six games also set a new record, being| $1,063,815, passing the million dol. lar mark for the first time and| eclipsing the previous record set in| 1921 by over $100,000. The largest crowd of the series and the largest of all time attended) the fifth game, p'ayed at Yankee stadium Sunday. The pald admis-| sions numbered 62,817 that day and more than 50,000 persons were turn- ed away from the gates. Players’ pool was greater by more than $100,000 than any other and as @ result each player of the winning| team will recelve about $6,530 and each losing player about $4,363. | Hach second place club will recelve | about $27,208 and each third place club about $18,139, \ When Babe Ruth completed his first home run at the Polo Grounds in the second inning of the second game of the world series, the cheers from the stands were so great that the Babe just couldn't keep from doffing his cap. if a ballplayer ever registered “happiness,” he is doing it in this photograph of Ruth. WORLD'S SERIES GAMES THIS YEAR MARKED BY SENSATIONAL AND BRILLIANT PLAY BY STARS NEW YORK, Oct. 16—(By the As- sociated Press)—All six games of the yesterday with the New York Yank- ees triumph over the Giants spark- led with brilliant fielding, and spec- tacular feats. “Jumping Joe” Dugan, crack third sacker, of the Yankees, and Frisch, the “Fordham Flash" of the Giants, were the most scintillating On the defense, taking the series as a whole, although Ross Young, Heinie Groh, George Kel'y of the Giants and Aaron Ward and Babe Ruth of the Yankees also contribut- ing some fine plays. Probably the greatest bit of de- fensive work In the entire series was that by Frisch in the first game when he caught Meusel's fly runn- ing at full speed,.in center field, and then, with an unerring throw, caught Ruth who made a daring attempt to score at the plate. SIX HOME RUN RECORDS BROKEN .-. NEW YORK, Oct. 16—Stx world’ serigs home records were broken and two more were equalled in the spectacular battle between the New York Giants and Yankees, whi'e sev- eral other hitting records were tumbled. Casey Stengel's feat of supplying two winning home runs in one ser- les betters the mark of Frank Bak- er, who won two games for the old Athletics with circuit wallops, but in separate series, 1911 and 1913. ‘Three records fell to Ruth, of the Yankees. Two homers in a single game had been accomplished three times before—by Pat Dougherty, Harry Hooper and Benny Kauff— but in none of these cases did the Wallops come in succesive innings, as did Ruth's. The Yankee star bagged his in the fourth and fifth innings of the second game, Babe's third homer of the series, in the sixth game, broke the record of two first set by Daugherty in 1903 and equalled by seven others, in- cluding Stengel this year. Combin- ing this trio with the one he made in the 1921 series, Ruth tops the best previous mark for total series, three, held jointly by Baker and Larry Gardner of Cleveland. Two club records were broken. The total of ten home runs for the contending teams is a new mark, while the rival teams, with five | apleco, share the honor of shatter-| ing the former high record of three set by the Philadelphia Athletics in 1911 and dupiicated by the Boston Red Sox in 1915. The record of four home runs by both teams in a single game, set RAGE EVENT [3 NEXT THRILLER NEW YORK, Oct. 16—The atten- tion of the sporting world today is focused upon the international $100,- 000 match race next Saturday at Belmont Park between Papyrus, the English derby winner, and Zev, Am- erica’s champion three ‘year old. Tho interest will be intensified today by the arrival of Steve Donoghue, | England's greatest jockey, who will ride the English entry. Donoghue will go to the scene of the great race tomorrow for a re- union with Papyrus, which he has piloted to most of his notable vic-| tories. He will be in the sadd'e when Papyrus goes through his training stunts tomorrow and it is thought that the horse's true form may be demonstrated on that oc- casion for the first time since his arrival. | While Donoghue files from track to track in England by airplane it same/|is expected that he will be content stepping along almost sensationally. with automobile travel between New York and Belmont Park. lot of money to get Renault knocked by the Boston Red Sox and Phila- delphia Nationals in 1915, was dup- cated in the second contest when Ruth's pair were added to blow: Irish Meusel and Ward.

Whitey Witt added his name to the list of batting heroes with a rec- ord of three successive hits, includ- ing a brace of doubles in as many consecutive innings in the fourth game.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 16—(United Press)—Some of the little fellows who didn’t get near the festive ta- over, He wanted $30,000 to let Bill Brennan fight Gibbons more than a year ago.

Jack Dempsey 1s through until next summer, around New York at least, and Benny Leonard considers himself too big a card for “logical contenders” under a roof. They are the best drawing cards in the game. Jim Coffroth has been talking about using Dempsey in a ¢ight dur. ing the winter season at Tiajuana, but it is doubtful that he can find @n opponent who would be a card g00d enough to draw the gate neces- sary ‘to pay the champion. Coffroth was talking some about matching Harry Wills and Dempsey but from reliable information !t was learned that he was using Wiils only as a camoufinge and that he neve intended to use the colored fighter, as he considers him a very poor at- traction in California, e Wills hag made four very bad fights, Wills should be able to get some work around Now York if he gets down off his high horse and forgets that he is “the logical contender.” As long as the colored challenger of the champion refuses to do anything asked of him, it will become more and more apparent that he does not care to take any chances and that he is desirous only of a big loser’s end with the champion. Battling Siki, being a curiosity, ought to be able to get some good purses next winter if the New York boxing commission is able to learn which of the six or seven who clatm his contract {s his real manager, Tommy Gibbons ought to get any- thing he wants for fighting this win ter and there should be plenty of work for him. - Promoters all over the country would like to use him, but he ts booked up almost through the winter with vaudeville and.movie contracts. Perhaps he is making a lot of money from these sources, but he (s losing many oppor- tunities for some fine purges. Tex Rickard would like to put Gibbons on in three shows in Madi- son Square Garden. It has heen suggested that Gibbons fight Floyd Johnson, and Gibbons is wilting if a date suitable to both of them can be arranged. Other bouts for the St. Paul heavyweight have ben mig- gested with Jack Renault, the Can- adian heavyweight, who-has been Leo F ynn, however, would want a itside | dangerous bird. Mickey Walker, the welterweight champion may do a little work this | winter, but it is probable that he will want the no-decision territory and catch-weights conditions. | With the middleweight crown on his head, Harry Greb will be a goo! attraction and Greb ts always wil ing to fight, He ay not like weight, but he can get plenty work without betng forced to d | welght. Like Benny Leorlard, who con siders himself too big a card for an indoor show, Johnny Dundee, the featherweight champion, hardly will defend his title against a real oppon ent this winter. | Tunney, McTigue, Leonard, Dun dee, Lynch and Villa will do a lot of work around Philadelphia, where the purses are high and the risks very low.
