Pipp has played through three successive series—1921, 1922, 1923—without an error. And that despite the fact that in the series just finished he played on * only an ankle and a half. Pipp’s world series record will for first basemen for years to come be pointed to as a shining example —all of it, that is, except that .apse of noodle in the first game this year when he stood still and permitted the winning run to be extracted from his slow thinker. Schang has caught in three ser: The latter made his bobble in 1922 in the first game this «Young off first base. Kelly {s another who made his first | error of three series in 1923.
