FARRELL (Unite ?ress Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—(Unitea Press }—Rather strange to say, after recalling ‘the list of unfortunates who won the unenvied title in the past, *here was no outstanding goat of the -23 world’s series, As there was>no one player who stood out above all others by the brilliance of what he did, there also | was no individual who could be pointed out for what he didn't do. Babe Ruth had the most narrow escape from being elected to the order of Snodgrass, Zimmerman and others who will be known always for their bones in the world's series. Only fate itself, as represented tn the bat of Bob Meusel, prevented Ruth, the bust of 1921 and 1922, from becoming the champion goat of 1923. Ruth was well on his way to ignominy when he fanned out tn the eighth inning of the last game of the series with the bases filled and two runs needed to win the game. His two home runs that won one game and his third homer that in- spired the Yanks in the first inning of the last game would have been forgotten by his feat in duplicating the bust of the great Casey when the cards had been dealt out for him to become the greatest of all world’s series heroes. Ruth's failure to deliver at most critical time in his career was forgotten when Bob Meuse! lashed out a smashing single and won the game. Even though he had failed terribly in the pinch, Ruth could not be called a goat justly, when his team had won the game, Just suppose that Ruth's fan-out in the pinch had lost the game for the Yanks and the Giants had won the series in the seventh and deckd ing game that would have been necessary to settle the champion ship. You have an idea, bringing this picture to mind, what a colossal have been. the The 1923 series was an unusual one in that psychology was con- sidered almost as big a factor as Woods Fill SAVE YOUR RADIATOR ALCOHO], 188 Proof We make regular tests of radiator solution to protect your radiator against freezing or over-heating.

Those who like to delye into the | baseball will permit Arthur reasons for more material things considered psychology as being the tremendous invisible influence that would decide the battle and they figured that Babe Ruth, in striking out, really won the game. Bob Meusel’s game and series win- ning hit, delivered after Ruth had fanned, was caused, the psycho- analyists maintain, by the reflect action that Ruth's strikeout caused in Rosey Ryan, the young Giant pitcher. Ryan had borne down with every- thing he hed in what turned out to be a successful attempt to get Ruth away from the plate without having the game broken up. Ruth was Ryan's terrific mental hazard and when Ruth had been retired, the reflex action settled on Ryan as an anti-climax. All his nerves unconsciously re- laxed and he, unknowingly and help. lessly, permitted himself to be let down in face of a task that he had considered much less exacting. Bob Meusel was up after Ruth. There were two down, the bases were filled and there was a force out at any base on a fast play. In three times up, Meuse! had fanned once and retired twice on infield rollers, once to short and once to third base, Meusel also 1s considered “sucker” for a curve ball and biz Frank Snyder told Ryan to keep the ball low on the inside and put plenty on it. That reflex action, if you believe in anything lke that, caused Ryan to loosen ever so slightly the grip on the ball. The nervous strain had been so reduced with the retirement of Ruth that the muscles would not respond to the mental urge to grip the ball. Ryan threw what he earnestly de- sired to be a low curve ball. He can throw a good curve ball. But the ball did not take it, the breai failed to come and it sailed up “in the alley,” across the line of the letters on Meusel’s shirt. Mouse! swung viciously and the ball shot through the infield for @ single that won the game and the series. eee That {s going a long wry to paint an alibi for Ruth and, in fact, it is The Ne Plus Ultra of Athletics Jack Dempsey, Olympic games to be held in Los A Charles Paddock and hands after a meeting in Los Angeles to Duke Kahanomoku shaking discuss plans for the 1923 ngeles. in a series, The ordinary series through a regular season runs four or five games.
