READY TO GO BROKE IF RACE CAN BE ARRANGED Local Sportsmen Convinced Admiral Grayson’s Three-Year-Old Is Best Qualified to Opposs Papyrus in International Event. BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN. HE National Capital is ready to go broke if a race can be arranged between Zev, winner of the Kentucky Derby, the Lawrence realiza- tion and a dozen othef races this year, and My Own, the three- year-old idol of Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, to determine which shall peet Papyrus, the glish Derby winner, in the international race for §0(1f'00 at Belmont Park October 20. The “united services” have a habit of shooting the works when it comes to backing their judgment on any event. And there is hardly a man in the Navy or Army who is not convinced that Grayson owns the better colt. The only thing that is worrying them is fear that the trial race never will be arranged.

FIRE-BUCKETS OF WATER WITHQUT STOPPING. i i THE PONY EXPRESS of 1923 \World Series Leaflets 1 BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HE New York Giants battled it out with the Philadelphia Americans 'T for the third time in the 1913 world series, losing four out of five games to the tribe of Mack. The Giants were badly crippled before they went into the series—and never had a change. They were not the team that Had set the National League on fire during the season. The record: Where “Played New York, Oct. 7 Philadelphia, Oct. 8 New York, Oct. 9 il Philadelphia, Oct. 10 Philadelphia New York, Oct. 11 Philadelphia Players for the winning Philadel- phia team were: Connie Mack, mana- ger; Mclnnis, first base; Collins, sec- ond base; Baker, third base; Barry, { shortstop; Oldring, left fleld; Strunk, center fleld: Murphy, * right field; |$chang, catcher; Lapp, _pitcher;| Bender, pitcher; Plank, pitcher, and Bush, pitcher. Players for the Glants were: John J. McGraw, manager; Merkle, first base; Wiltse. first base; Snodgrass, center field-first base: Doyle, second base: Herzog, ‘third base; Shafer, jcenter field-third base; Fletcher, shortstop: Murray, left’ fleld-right fleld; Burns, left fleld; McLean, catch- jer; Wilson, catcher; Myers, catcher Mathewson, pitcher; Marquard, pitch- er; Demaree, pitcher; Tesreau, pitch- er! Crandall, pitcher; Cooper, McCor- mick and Grant, pinch hitters and substitutes. The Glants’ sick list when they trotted on the field for the first game included Doyle, who had run into a ! tree with automobile, and Snod- grass, who had a bad charley horse. Doyle was entirely out of it, but { Snodgrass managed to play despite his fnjury. Merkle was added to the list during the first game, when he turned his ankle and was forced out of the series. Myers followed him |di the next day, when he was injured in_practice. | McGraw's necessity of playing Shafer in center field probably cost | the Giants the first game. At least Shafer's unfamiliarity with the po- sition gave the Athletics several runs which they otherwise would not have tallied. The fifth inning of this game aiso produced a situation reminiscent of the 1911 series. Mar. quard grooved one for Baker, just as he had done two years before, and Score 6—4 Loser ~ New York Philadelphia New York New York New York 3—1 Baker slammed it for a home run, just as he had done in 1911. The second game was the most sen- sational of the series, going along for nine scoreless innings, to be won finally by the Giants with three runs in the tenth. It was In this game that George Wiltse, the Giant pitcher, was put in to play first base. Merkle was out of it, and Snodgrass, who had been put in at the first corner, was 80 badly crippled that MeGraw decided to take him out. So Wiltse went in and played such a game as no regular first sacker ever exhibited in a world series.” He repeated in the remaining games, proving that he was one of the most natural first basemen in the game. Had he been a stronger batter perhaps he would have been shifted permanently to the initial sack. The fourth game of the series was saved for the Athletics by Oldring’s wonderful catch of a line drive by McCormick. It was a shoestring ‘r?’::n made at top speed.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. S EW YORK, September 28—If the Yankees win the world series this year—and no manager was ever more anxious to win it than Miller Huggins—the victory will be a culminating triumph for one of the most freely derided leaders in base ball. Today Huggins stands in the select company of managers who have won three major league pennants, and students of the game are beginning to realize that he really is a great leader. Perhaps no manager will ever achieve the record made by Connic Mack with six championship teams to his credit, but Huggins bids fair to become recognized in time as the American League’s sccond best manager if he is not that now. In times past Huggins has been treated shamefully by some of his own players. There is no secret about that. When he became manager of the New York club the half derisive manner in which he was held by without perception enough to discern a manager’s ability. In 1921 and again in 1922 some of 'he has a team strong enough this the members of the Yankees thought N"\En‘e‘:: ‘H‘v; 111) spltelot t‘he‘brfinkn s s Na- they won the pennant without a man- | yiona) League as. a g;‘m:p‘r e ager, but they were mistaken.

(Ceoasigiiceiens ) Huggins' victory this year is his best of all because he was criticized | freely during the spring because it was sald that he did not train his team properly. He let his players do pretty much as they pleased at New Orleans because he had confidence in their ability to deliver the goods when the time came, and the runaway race they made of it has vindicated his judgment, to the confusion of his de- tractors. Huggins is confident that he has a better team to enter the world series this year than he did in either 1921 or 1922, and he is anxious to prove it by beating the Giants. That is why he has been an anxious as Babe Ruth for the New York team to win the championship in the National League. He cannot be convinced that his team ; has ever had what is known as the “breaks of the game” in either series against the Glants. But he feels that ITITLE FOR MOHAWKS | IF THEY WIN TODAY A victory for the Mohawks .today sgainst the Generdl Accounting Office team will give them the unlimited championship of the Dijstrict for the lsecond consecutive season.
