THE "EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1923, ° SPORTS. —_— " Giants’ Triumph in First Game Is Signal Case of Victory of Brain Over Brawn WELL DIRECTED BROUGHT HOME TO YANKS Do Well Enough Mechanically to Gain Margin, But Fail Mentally—Contest Is Marked by Many - Sensational Plays.. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. EW YORK, October 11.—Brains, 5; muscle, 4. Thus might the score N of the first world sefies game be written. Moving on to the Pola Grounds today for the second engagement of their annual show with the Giants, those of the Yankeces capable of analyzing the relation of cause upon effect may well be pondering grifily upon the value of thinking in base ball. Failure to use their heads cost the Hugmen a | chance to get the psychologically important first-blood jump on the | Giants, who, with fewer hits and many less opportunitics. emerged | triumphant by a tally of 5 to 4. It was a repetition in its general aspects of a majority of the battles of the last two autumnal clashes and serves |§ nilar outcome and a third straight | g to point in a convincing manuer to a si world championship for John Joseph McGraw. Studded with seintillating plays, the opening chapter of the current embroglio can be recorded s classic, but the brilliancy of the contest, viewed in perspective, is tarmished by the wanton wastefulness of the | Yankees in neglecting openings, turning a deaf ear to the repcated knocks | of opportunity.

Well, to begin at the beginning, on the way from the subway to the press gate, the writer must of passed at least fifty policemens, but was neither recognized nor hit over the head. Outside the gate I run into the high commissioner of base ball, who asked the newspaper boys the other day to kindly keep his name out of the paper on the grounds that the people was not interested.s The judge helped me get away with a couple of Harry Stevens hot roast beaf sandwiches which was so zood that I took some of the juice home on my coat to show the wife and kiddies. . At 1 o'clock Judge L— light enough to play. The clients was then entertained by @ novelty in the way of batting and fielding practice, which is usually held in secret before a big game Messrs Altrock and Schacht staged their imitation of the misunderstanding between our champion and the wild bull, dnd it was voted the best stunt base ball's star comics has ever put on. Personly I would of enjoyed it and the ball game more If the boys had not give me a press scat that was not only made for Jackie Coogan but was bounded on the front by the lurgest steel pillar in the Bronx. If the serlous goes over three games it will be called on acct. of cramps, as far as I am conserned, The gent that announced the batteries in the press box said that Hurt would pitch for the Yankees. . This is what they call him in Brooklyn. Amongst the prominent experts present was Jack Hendricks and Clarence Rowland. Jack is covering the serious for Jim Jam Jems and Clarence for the Encyclopedia. When Mr. Watson was named as the Giant pitcher, Nick Flatley of Boston said that McGraw was probably sending him in as punish- ment for not obeying the training rules. He was released on parole after two nervous innings. Mr. Hurt ot bumped off in the next innings and I practally decided to nicknazme the game a airtight pitcher's battle, 1t took ove hour and 5 minutes to get the first three inhings over, and Judge L——s gave the gathering gloom @ couple of dirty 10oks. Interviews Mrs. Dorsey. During the long and tedious progess of the third innings I sought an interview with Mrs. Carolin€ Dorsey ‘of Traverse City, Mich. Mrs. Dorsey is the lady who lias stood in line in front of -the gefieral admission ticket window since the 14th of May, hoping against hope, that she would get a ticket. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning she received the coveted pasteboard and picked out a choice seat under the scoreboard. “Mrs. Dorsey,” I said to her. “what do you think of the game?" She did not hear me the first time on acet. of far aw; T had to put the query onee more, R ok (e “Mrs. Dorsey.” 1 sald, “what do you think of the = hear me this time either, and when the game was owet 1 taikeq 1y oy oiot people who had sat near her {f they had heard her say what she had thought of the game, but I could get no information that sounded reliable. The pastime speeded up after Bush and Ryan took what is called the helm, With the sun under cover the Glants was unable fo see Mr. Bush's fast ball until he got in the hole to Mr. Stengel in the ninth, when Chse ran an exhibition circult of the bases. He had been scheduled o run thiy race against Papyrus before the game, but the horse falled to leave his stall Plenty of Yanks gof on base, but once there, they seemed to be overcame v a.
