Yankees Again Are on Defensive : Pipp Is Lost to Huggins for Rest of Series - s Qe 99 |SIX HURT IN CLASH WHEN All Is Upside Down in “Serious, - VICTORY IN THIRD GAME GIVES GIANTS THE EDGE Jones Deserved Better Fate Than Having Stengel’s Home Run Beat Him, But Nehf Also Must Be Given Credit for Fine Slabbing. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. EW YORK, October 13—Back at the Polo Grounds today for the fourth fracas of their fight for the base ball championship of the universe, the Yankees find themselves again on the defensive, trail- ing with but a single victory in three games to show for their efforts, as a result of the 1-0 setback inflicted on them by the Giants at the stadium yesterday before a Columbus day crowd that set a brand-new record, both in attendance and receipts, for any contest yet held in the history of the diamond classic. g ) Stengel, the same ancient athlete who recorded the opening conflict of Wednesday on the right side of the McGraw ledger with a wallop for four bases in the final inning, again proved the hero of the day, his cir- cuit clout in the lucky seventh providing the only tally registered in as tense and hard fought a pitching duel as has ever been witnessed. Stengel's swat was one of a_puny total of but four that the Glants were able to collect off Sam Jones, but it was an even more impressiv poke than his earlier effort, carrying on the fly into the densely massed fans in the distant right-field bleach- of the spacious American League ark and completely setting _at aught the clever and courageous efforts of the right-handed ace of the Yankees' pitching corps. Jones Deserved Better Fate. Jones really deserved a kindlier fate, for he otherwise outpitched his left-handed mound rival, Artie Nehf. In addition to yielding but three other blows, all singles, Jones issued but two walks. against three for Nehf, and on only one occasion pe: mitted a Giant to get as far as se ond base. In contrast the Yankees collected half a dozen bingles off Neht, including a double, got a run- ner to third on one occasion and at various times had ‘four other repre- sentatives perched on second awalt- ing a timely tap. The fact that none materialized is, of course, a tribute to the pitching prowess of Nehf, who deserves only the highest praise for his work, and to the sturdy backing accorded 'him by his mates, particu- larly Heinie Groh, who in a highly spectacular manner snuffed the hopes of the Yanks when they put on a rally in the round that boosted gel toward the pinnacle of all world Series heroes. Jones was just out of luck, that's all. Babe Ruth, whose pair of homers provided the winning margin for the Yanks and made him the out- standing figure of the day before, deserves no criticism for his failure to ontribute more than one single to the attacking power of his club yesterday, for he was given little chance to hit on the two occasions he came un with runners on ahead of him, and there were grounds for de- baté as to the legality of the strike called on him to end his term at bat another time. McGraw's promise that he would MORE JOY IN MUDVILLE GIANTS. Bancroft, | Gron, 3b | Frisch, " 2b’ Youn, n eoBrmparng weunsaiadk ccomcooool mooncowooh moccsonrand coccoccoocl?

Bob Meusel Falls. 1t was Bob Meusel, who proved the flat tire of the machine from an of- fensive standpoint. On all but one of the three appearances at the plate Meusel had a chance to prove a sco ing factor, but three flies and a rap into a double play was the sum to- tal of his efforts. cott’s fumble of Groh's roller gave the Giants an opening in the first inning that came to nothing, as Frisch and Young died aerially, as had Bancroft. Witt and Dugan both failed to get the ball out.of the in field and Kuth, who shunted a safety to center off Nehf, was left, when Trish Meusel raced close to the bar- rier for brother Bob's long drive. After the initial frame not another player reached the runways until the fourth, when Frisch registered the first Giant hit by laying a perfect tap a few feet from the plate and beating Jones' toss to Pipp. Ruth then went over into right center to take Young's fly away from Witt, a collision being narrowly averted, 'and when Irish Meusel walloped far and high the Babe sped back and up the embank- ment to haul it in. The first scoring opportunity devel- oped in the fag-end of this frame when the Yanks roused thelr sup- porters to a frenzy of expectations only to have them dashed. Dugan led with a double to right center. Nehf was exceedingly chary about giving Ruth anything good to look at and served four wide ones. It was not an out-and-out intentional ass, but was so construed by the crowd, which gave Nehf the raz: Bob' Meusel sent a sharp crack to Bancroft on which Frisch and Kelly completed a double play by a nar- row margin, both the keystone guar- lians hesitating_just a trifle “with their throws. This put Dugan on third and the issue up fo Pipp, who proved unequal to the emergency when he Tolled to Frisch, Jones Helps Himwelf. Jones started a dual killing on his own hook after issuing his first walk to Stengel in the fifth, jumping for Kelly's hopper_and firing to Scott, who' did the pivoting. Still another 1win demise snuffed the hopes of the Yanks in their half, which Ward opened with a ringing single to left. Bchang's effort to sacrifice resulted in w too forceful bunt that Groh ferried to Bancroft to force ward at sec- ond. Scott's hot shot bounced off Nehf's upstretched glove for an in- field bingle that put Schang on the keystone sack. Jones then rolled to :h who started the double play, Toft and Kelly being accessorles. With Nehf gone in the sixth Jones avered slightly. He passed Bancroft d the first thing he knew was in ® ticklish_sport. for, although Groh fouled to Dugan, Frisch frisked a ho.t smash past Pipp. Respect for Ruth’s throwing prowess, caused bancroft to pull up at second. The crowded stands were in an_uproar as Jones fAttempted to make Young bite at bad balls and got into a hole on him. Sam then sneaked over a couple of strikes before Young connected. The bail Was hit hard and solidly, But directly at Ward, who gathered it in and tossed for the third out. Stengel Hits Homer. What may prove to have as im- portant a bearing on the outcome of The serise as Stengel's seventh-inning home run occurred M the rear end of the session when Pipp injured that alling ankle of his. Wally drew a free ticket with one gone and was forced op a roller to Bancroft by Ward. Pipp's leg caved on him as he went into second, and after the in- Jured limb was bandaged limped off ihe field with his prospects for see- ing further service very dim. Schang looped a single to left which moved Ward up a notch and Heinfe Groh then covered himself with glory by knocking down Scott's bid for a dou- ble and tagging Ward as he slid into the sack. It was a truly brilliant bit of work. The ball was traveling like a rifle shot and Groh had to dive headlong to intercept it. Tuth was brought io from right field ot play first base, and Hinky Haines took his place in right when the Giants came to bat in the eighth. Nehf, a weak hitter, promptly sliced a single to left, and it seemed that Jones had been upset by the frowns of fate, but he rapidly dissipated any such notion by striking out Bancroft and Groh in succession and causing Frisch to bounce to the box. Jones' display of iron nerve in such a contingency made Huggins' action in lifting him for a pinch hitter when the Yanks came up_for thelr raps rather inexplicable. But lift him he did, sending in Fred Hofmann, .sec- satis- vindi- 1but Soe got a life when Frisch's heave for an attempted double play went wide to Kelly and was dropped. With Ruth up here, McGraw flashed the “take no chances” sign and Babe strolled on four very wide hooks, al- though he did take one crack at a sweeping low one. Boo Meusel again was found want- ing In coping with Nefh's craft at this juncture, raising a long fly that Stengel had no difficulty getting un- der. The Glants failed to make any head- way against Joe Bush, who graced the hill for the Huggmen in the ninth, and the Yanks proved equally help- less, although their half was en- livened, when Ward was batting, first because the Giants contended Umpire Nallin had missed 2 third strike, and, after Aaron had fouled no fewer than five times, the Yanks protested long and loudly that Snyder had in- terfered with Ward on the third strike that finally was called, by tip- ping his bat with the catchers mitt as the Yank was about to ‘take a swing. The game was delaved for nearly five minutes as the Huggmen, headed by their diminutive boss, raved and stormed, but to no purpose. e SERIES ALREADY HAS SET HOMER RECORDS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 13.—The 1923 world series already has established a new record for home-run hitting in the classic. Casey Stengel's circuit clout yes- terday made him the first man to win two games in one world series with home runs. J. Franklin Baker, when with the Philadelphia Athletics, won two games with homers, but not in the same series. Babe Ruth's two drives Thursday were the first a world serles batter ever made in successive trips to the plate. Ruth has equaled the record for home runs in a game, also held by Benny Kauff, Harry Hooper and Pat Dougherty. Composite Score of G., games; A.

Of the 241, the Giants' pitcher de- livered 123, ‘while the Yankee pitch- ers hurled 118, Analysis shows 94 of the 241 were called balls by Umpire Bob Nallin; 50 were called strikes, 25 were foul strikes, 15 were fouls, 33 resulted in infield outs, 14 in outfleld outs, and 10 were hit safely. The individual records of the three pitchers who worked during the game follow: Art Nehf of the Gilamts served up 123 pitched balls in nine inning: | Fifty of that number were called balls, 28 were called strikes, 8 foul strikes, 8 fouls, 19 infield outs, 4 out- field outs, and 6 were hit safely. Sam Jones of the Yankees tossed 110 pitched balls in the eight innings jhe occupied the mound. Forty-one were called balls, 22 were strikes, 15 foul strikes, 7 fouls, 12 infield outs, 9 outfield outs and 4 safe hits. Joe Bush of the Yankees delivered only eight pitched balls in the inning he faced the Glants. Three were called balls, 2 were foul strikes, 2 resulted in infield outs, and 1 in an-outfield out. CHISOX HAVE CHANCE TO EVEN WITH CUBS CHICAGO, October 13.—Back in the running for the city series title as a result of their victory yesterday over the twice victorious Chicago Nationals, the American League White Sox played today on their own fleld in the fourth game of the se- | ries.

NEW YORK, October 13.—Everything is upside down during a world serious, and as I write these lines it seems to of suddenly become the fashion for the common people to interview newspaper men instead of vice versa. A man that looks like he come from Green River, Wyoming, just approached me in a friendly way and said: " “Do you fellows have any time to enjoy the game when there's so much on your mind?" Thinking he had mistook me for somebody else, I made him repeat the question. “Yes,” was my reply. “Are these all newspaper men at the tables?’ was the next question. “Yes,” was my reply. “Ain’t the press stand down on the first floor?” was question No. 3, and they did not seem no possible answer, so I kept my mouth shut. Now It's Casey With Some of the Boyw. Well, the Giants is out in front again, and at a meeting of the entire club after the game yesterday, it was voted to give Casey Stengel a regular uniform and a sweater with the club’s monogram sewed on the sleeve and allow him to eat at the training table with the rest of the veterans. Before the,serious is over they are libel to meet again and vote hlm a full cut of the winners' or loosers’ share, as the case may be. Some of the boys has even begun to warm up to this kid and call him Casey. What they admire most is the iron nerve he has showed in his first big test. But the real feature of the game was Arthur Nehf. When Arthur falled to start the first game or to even warm up before the second game, the experts asked one another why don’t he pitch Neht? Finely an old-time ball player, who I won't mention his name, but he i3 close to McGraw and Huggins. And in fact I never heard of anybody he was not close to, as he is very democratic. Well, anyway, he set down at our table and said he had just been conflded in by everybody in the world, and had found out that the reason the little Napoleon had not started Nehf was because Nehf was in no shape to pitch and further and more he was in such terrible shape that they no chance of him pitching during the serious. Nehf Don’t Mind No Fatal Illness. Shortly after midnight Thursday the doctors issued the following bulletin: Mr. Nehf's temperature has fell below 300 and his pulse is now 182. Recovery is indicated if his general weakened condition ain’t too much for him. “Signed: DR. BRAINARD GOOF, DR. SAMUEL PAFF, DR. WILLIAM MOOKLE.” When the base ball wrilers was all gathered in the stand and the dying man was observed taking his turn in batting practice everybody marveled. The most of them was maybe not aware that Mr. Nehf comes from Terre Haute, Jack Keefe's home town, and like that great athlete, Wwould never allow a fatal illness to keep him out of a world serious. Before the game a delegation of owl-eyed base ball writers waited on Judge L—s and requested him to postpone tomorrow’s game till Sunday, to allow us to attend the Army-Note Dame battle in Brooklyn. The judge &lve us a terrible look.

N EW YORK, October 13—Nick Altrock, base ball's premier clown, had a bright idea aiter yesterday's game, and imparted it to Miller Huggins, the Yankee manager. “Listen now, Hug,” whispered Nick. “We just gotta win this series for the American League. busting around like he i And we can't do it You know he can't with this bird Stengel hit left-handed pitchers. Now here’s the idea: Use Herb Pennock every day.” _Arthur Nehfs vietory over the Yankees yesterday was his third out of six starts in the series of 1921, 1922 and this year. In his attempts in 1921 he was d ed by Hoyt, but he defeated Hoyt in their third duel of that serfes, the eighth and deciding game. In 1922 he started the first game and was re- lieved by Rosy Ryan, who received credit for a victory when the Giants | rallled and won in the eighth inning. He won the deciding game of the serfes against Joe Bush. “What New York needs,” said Col. Jake Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, |- when he saw the crowd pouring out of the Yankee Stadium, “is a larger ball park.” Caney Stengel is a light-hearted heavy hero. After making the win- | ning home run in the first game he almost laughed himself to death in the Glant dugout. In the practice before Thursday's game, in which he didn’t participate until the ninth inning, he wore a smile that was a perfect disguise for his weather- beaten face. He didn’t get into the batting order Thursday because the Amer- icans ured a left-handed pitcher, but when he caught Ruth’'s long fly for the third out in the ninth he was so | spectators. happy that he wrung his hands and threw tem about like a little boy who had been awarded the qunce cap for bad conduct in school. ‘When he made his winning home run yesterday he didn’t have to run to beat the ball home because it went into the stands. So he took his time, and, passing second, he looked up at the' press stand and thumbed his pudgy nose. He skipped most of the way out to his fielding position. Umpire Bob Hart of the National League staff, who officiated at first base, made one of the most unusual decisions an umpire ever is called upon to make. He decided not by what he saw but by what he heard. It was In the Yankee half of the eighth inning with one down. Witt got his only hit of the game, a hot single ¢hrough the box. Hart took a position on the base line petween first and second, too close to the base line. On the next play Dugan grounded to Groh, who made a sensational stop and threw out Witt at second. Frisch,. who took the throw, whipped the ball to first for a fast double play. ‘To avold being struck, Hart dropped flat on his face like a doughboy when a shell was bursting. He had an ex- cellent line on old Mother Earth, but not on the play. He heard Dugan’'s hoof strike the first bag before the ball reseunded in K8lly's glove and called the runner safe. And there was no disputer Mont of the fans didn’t understand why Manager Miller Huggins and his team kicked so strenuously when Umplre R. 8. Nallin called out Ward on a third strike in the last half of the ninth. Nehf pitched eleven balls to him with almost perfect control, and Ward had a “good eye,” letting those go that nipped around the corners and nicking the curves that came within his distance. He fouled six_balls. The last pitch Ward let go by, but whether it would have been a_ balk or a strike did not matter. Nallin saw a movement of the second base- man’s bat and called him out. Ward claimed that Snyder “tipped” the bat with his glove, and the Giant catch- er denled it \ — There was at least one unorthodox HIGH FINANCES.

Nehf was the last’ Giant to get a hit, a single in the eighth, one of the four hits col- lected by his tribe. HURLERS ARE PRAISED BY BOTH MANAGERS NEW YORK, October 13.—“It was one of the best pitched games ever played in any world series,” Manager John McGraw of the Glants said. “Stengel, of course, is the big hero of the third game, as he was the man who gave us the victory. “But don’t overlook Nehf's mas- terly pitching, or that play that Heinie Groh made in the seventh in- ning in tagging Ward out at third base. “We are sure that we're going to win_the series—more so now after Nehf's great pitching.” Huggins had little to say. “Sam Jones pitched a wonderful game,” said the little manager. “It was hard to see such a well pjtched game go to waste. “We are fighting hard in this series, and we are going to win it yet. My players disappointed me a bit by not hitting Nehf harder.” —_— Of twenty-five states in Which box- ing is allowed under commission rule, twenty-one are allied with the Na- tional Boxing Association. l I l l FANS SET FIRE TO PARK HAVANA, October 13.—Six per- sons were hurt in a clash with police at Almendares base ball park yesterday, when angry fans met the bleachers and fences on fire.

TWO SCHOOL TEAMS IN GRIDIRON BATTLES| Central and Tech High Schools’ foot ball teams were slated to en- counter formidable elevens today. The Blue and White was booked to face Baltimore City College at 2:30 o'clock in the Wilson stadium, while the Manual Trainers were scheduled to clash with Episcopal High at Alex- andria, Va. Both teams probably are in for much work, as their opponents are heavier and faster. Western High looms as a dan- gerous foe in the coming scholastic foot ball series as a result of its victory over the Catholic University freshman eleven, 12 to 6, yesterday.

BY DENMAN THOMPSO} EW YORK, October 13—Wally Pipp, sterling first-sacker of the N Yanks, 'has !men declared through for the series as a result of wrenching his weak ankle in yesterday's game.

The ball clearly belonged to Ruth and he got it. The “Babe” was out ea e the rewards for Thurs swatting, and the fans didn’t hesitate to tickie his majesty with a cheer at eve move. He was greeted by a full sized ovation when he went to right fiald for flelding practice. The Yanks seemed as pleased as Ruth when he ehot one into the stands on each trip to the plate in batting practice, and called from their dugout to the Giants to take notice. rly to reap| Aside from Stengel's round-trip jaunt Bancroft was the only other Giant visitor at second, reaching the station in the sixth after a walk, which was followed by Frisch's sec- ond hit and the Giants' first solid safety of the game. Groh who does considerable of his playing while off his feet, pulled one of his most spectacular stuntd'in the seventh. With Ward and Schang on and two out, Scott drove a wicked bounder along t left field fou line. Heinie fell face down on the ball, fumbled it momentarily and h a head foremost jump, while still on his knees, dove into Ward for a force out. Huggins had Shawkey taking his turn with Jones in batting practice, and sent the red-shirted veteran out to warm up a little before game time, but Jones looked good and was good, as he proved after he got the call, ‘Ward was storm center in the ninth. He fouled five while coaxing three bad ones, and when Nallin ended his batting tenure by calling a third strike great was the anguish. Ward and Huggins, in accents wild, protes ed to Nallin that Snyder had tipped Ward's bat. Previouely Nehf and all his followimg had attempted to con- vince Nallin that a called ball should have been a strike. Scott jumped in front of Ward to take Jones' throw after Kelly had bounded to him in the fifth, retiring Stengel at second and relaying Pipp for a close double play was Scott's ball, he being in better position for the peg to first.

Every movement msde by the differ- ent parts of the body during the golf swing must be made without exag- geration. The feet, for instance, make their movements quickly, but if the player attempts delfberately to make them move rapidly the chances are he will shift them foo quickly.

Same way with the pivot—too much of it leads to a lack of bulance. The effort must be to make all the movements re- quired in a natural manver, without strain and without conscious efiort. The stroke begins with a push back of the clubhead, and from there on the whole exertion should be a flow of power from the body into the ciub shaft and then on Inte the clubhead, which receives the maximum pressure of thix power flow at the instant the ball is hit. The hips, shovlders, arms, wrists, handx and feet all enter into this.

In his first big game, the second college game he ever played, Penn was on Harvard's 20-yard line in the first half. Harvard had chalked up four consecutive vic- tories up to that date. A veteran Penn lineman turned to “Stevie” at this_point, thinking this green kid might break under the strain.
