YANKEES PLAYING Presence of Ruth, Toned-Down Lively Ball and New York’s Slashing Methods Should Pro- duce Exciting Spectacles. BY BILLY EVANS, World series games are usually drab affairs, because of the safety generally adopted. The 1920 meeting with Brooklyn and Cleveland was a decided excep- tion to the rule. It was a colorful affair that teemed with unusual hap- penings. The 1921 event seems destined to be a bit out of the ordinary, because of the varied attack that the possible contenders possess. The New York Yankees, with their slashing style, headed by the great Babe Ruth, are sure to be a big League.
