Fourth Game Crowded With Thrills : Most Everybody Dizzy as Yanks Knot Series AS HUGMEN RUN AMUCK Ruth’s War Clubbing Makes History for Official Stat- isticians and Rest of Murderers’ Row Takes New Lease on Life in Fourth Game. BY DENMAN Sports Editol T. LOUIS, October, 7 the world series rivals today THOMPSON. r. The Star -Right back wliere they started from were as they prepared for the fifth game of the struggle for base ball's highest and most lucrative prize. _ In consequence of the 10-to-5 defeat inflicted on the Cards yesterday before the largest assemblage ever to witness a contest in this City, the Yankees pulled up to even terms with their National League antagonists in the matter of victories, each having two to their credit, with two more to gain before the goal can be achieved. As a resu't the whole cast, r;ganl]c. will entrain this evening for New Y s of how fortune’s tide flows today, ork. where the last lap of the race will be started Saturday at the Stadium in the Bronx, where the barrier was sprung last week. Tt was considered more than prob able that Pennock and Sherdel, who duled in that opening cl when the former earned a 2-1 decision, once more would be pitted against each other this afternoon. For this reason the Yanke to have an edge on the Red Birds in view of Pennock’s sensational earlier | effort, when he let Horns 5 down’ with three hits. and League adherents further we ened by the fact that the Yankees | have started to hit | War Clubs Wiclded With Abandon. Whether their exhibition of vester- day proves to be merely a flash in the pan or means they are out of their slump to stay. remains to be seen, but while they were at it the Hugmen, led by George Herman Ruth, the might- iest mauler of all time, wielded their war clubs with such vehement abandon that shattered records were | H! strewn all over the place. By clouting home runs off the only pitch made to him in each of the first and third innings. Ruth tled his own four haggers in_ successive bat. and when he evolved nd-tripper in_the sixth following he received in the inning previous, he made more his tory for the official statisticians. No before made three circuit a world series tilt. and the they were produced in as many straight legal times at bat made the feat all the more remarkable. The last of these was a drive into the dis- and in dead center, heretofore le to w batsman, and as it was the seventh world series homer manufactured by the Bambino the mark of half a dozen, held by Wash- ington’s worthy walloper, lin, went by the board velops, 00, that his 12 total bases constitutes| " the greatest number ever hung up by a sticksmith in any one skirmish of a Fall cla and while the four runs he batted merely equaled the quartet | Elmer Smith produced for Cleveland in one of the 1920 games against Brooklyn, when the Griffman pounded one of Burleigh Grimes’ spit- ters over the fence with the bases iilled, in personally toting four ta to the platter Ruth achieved another mark, Total Hits Equals Best. It seems, also, that the hits made vesterday, equally divided be- tween the rival clubs, pars the best previous total registered 1921, ahen the Giants amassed 20 against eight accruing to the Yanks, and that the total dist es the Yankees attained yesterday wi Just one more than the previous hizhest aggregate, assembled by the Giants against the Hugmen in one of the 1923'skirmishes. Personally, we don’s recall offhand having seen in a world series game more pitchers used by one club than appeared for the Cardinals yesterda; at least no such group of twirlers as collectively ineffective, a circum- stunce that was notable, in view of the eonsistently good Cardinal curv- ing which previously had limited the Yanks to an average of five hits 0 a game Flint Rhem, who started for the Cards, was the victim of Ruth’s first two homer nd also was mulcted for_another tally hefore giving way to Toporcer, who alone of the three pinch hitters used by the Cardir accomplis vthing.

Herman Bell, who succeeded Rein- hart, was not much of an improve- ment. It was he who vielded home run No. 3 to Ruth in the sixth session with Combs on first by vir- tue of a safety. Bell departed to let Jake Flowers strike out for him in the sixth. This brought Bill Halla- han, another portsider, to the hill. He wus tapped for a tally, too, and after escaping unseathed in the elghth, due to sensational support, gave way to Roscoe Holm, another iffing pinch-hitter. This brought : Keen to the hill, and the former Maryland University star uncovered the only real pitching shown by the Cardinals during the more than two and a half hours of pastiming, by setting the Hugmen down in order in the ninth. Game Full of Thrills. Although it was artistically poor, the score would indicate, the game furnished thrills aplenty in addition to the Ruthian raps. The most senea tional was a collision between Hafe and Douthit_in the fourth when they tore after fly and crashed head-on in nter, both being knocked out, with the result that Lazzeri scored from first base. to which he had been franked, while Jumping Jow got credit for a double on a drive that either flychaser could | have snared, barring interference. ome minutes before either ardeners could resume play, but when they did the courac: of the Cards was displayed by both vietims of an dent which could ulted seriously, for on the Douthit grabbed Severeid's hit and flagged Dugan at plate with a perfect peg to O'Far- | rell, and in the fag end of the frame [ took the field conceded| X typical [ Hafey singled over second base to launch the rally that sent St. Louis | to the front for a brief spell.

LOUIS, October 7.—As world series records were broken right and left vesterday, the players of the St. Louis Cardinals and New Yankees were assured that another record will be broken when they re- ceive their reward. If the players’ portion of the world series pool is divided into 26 parts, the winning players will get $6,254.65, while on the same basis tae losers will receive $4,129.76. The players themselves fix the division of their spoils. There may be more than 26 shares, . “The players’ share of the receipts, limited to the first four games, amounts to $372,300.51. Seventy per cent of this goes to the world series contenders, divided on a 60-40 basis, with the other 30 per cent split among players on clubs finishing sec- l'ond, third and fourth in the rival pennant gaces. Of the world series teams’ share, $156,366.21 goes to the winning team and $104,244.14 to the losers. With the series deadlocked, the players still have a considerable fi- nancial interest in the games, despite the fact that they are not “in” on future receipts. The difference be- tween the winners’ and losers’ end will be more than $2,200. 3 929.85. HAS GROWN STEADILY NEW YORK, October 7 (#).—Play- ers’ earnings in the world series have shown a steady increase since the early games of the classic in 1903. Although the losers share on four occasions has dropped below $1,000, and even went to $439 in 1906, the winners' share has never fallen be- low $1,000. The present series will establish a record for both winners and losers, with each member of the winning team receiving $6,254 and the losers, $4.168. Last year’s figures were $5,332 and\| $3,734. e YANKS NOW FAVORITES, WITH THE 0DDS 10 TO 9 NEW YORK, October 7 (#).—Specu- lation on the world series took a new turn today. Prices of 5 to 4 were offered on the Yankees to win today’s game and 10 to 9 that they would take the series. Before yesterday's game the Cardi- nals were slight favorites. There were odds of 12 to 5 against the Yankees winning the next two games and 16 to 5 against the Cardi- nals taking two straight. BOWLING LEAGUE OPENS. Grand Chancellor Lee B.

LOUIS, October. 7—Billy Southworth, with a batting average of .500, shows the way to the regular batsmen of both clubs for the first four games. Southworth _safely eight times for 11 total .607 in threc times at bat. Babe Ruth, with three home runs erday in as many legal times at ran his batting average up to 385, and assumed a decided lead in total bases, with 14. Tom Thevenow, Cardinal shortstop, has the same bat- ting average, .385. Thevenow has scored four runs to five for Ruth, Eight pinch hitters have appeared in the four games. None has hit safely. Paschal walked Tuesday and Toporeer hit a sacrifice fly yesterday. With the novelty of world series games wearing off the overnight line before Sportsman’s Park was short today. Several hundred gathered Monday night, there were several score Tuesday night and only a few dozen last night. St. Louls attendance records were broken, however, at both of the games played thus far. . “By-by Blackbird” seems the most popular tune among the contending rs. Athletes in both uniforms tle it and the band has played air several times each day. “The idewalks w York” has been made the ntrance cue for the fail, Hail, the Gang's ardinals. When Douthit and Hafey collided going after Dugan's fly in the fourth inning both took the count. Appar- ently they were none the worse for the accident, however, for Douthit came right back to throw out a run- ner at the plate on the next play, while Hafey rapped out a base hit on his turn at bat in a few minutes. has been at bat 16 times and has hit bases. Haines, Cardinal pitcher, has Rhem started off like a house afire in the first inning, but was touched himself by the flames before it was over. After striking out Combs and Koenig, the Cardinal yielded Ruth’s first homer, then walked Meusel. Gehrig followed with a single, but “Lanky Bob” was caught at the plate for the third out. Urban Shocker was rushed out to the bull pen when the Cardinals greeted Hoyt with three successive singles in the first inning, but Waite settled down after one run had clat- tered across. He struck out Hafey with runners on second and third. Ruth’s first homer and Lazzeri’s long double in the second broke the spell on the Yankee long range guns. They were the first extra base blows delivered by the New Yorkers in four games. Lazzeri’s two-bagger hit the bleacher wall in far let center, and was within a few feet of being a home run. The Yankee economy program was in full flight in the fifth inning when four runs were scored on one hit, Reinhart and Herman Bell, the two Cardinal pitchers on the hill in this | session, issued five passes, while Bell icontributed a balk.

ST. LOUIS, October 7.—Seven new world series records were put on the books yesterday by statisticians. who found the going as tough in today’s game as did the Cardinal pitching corps. Babe Ruth personally accounted for six of_the new marks, as follows: 1. Most homers for one game. 3. breaking former mark of 2 held jointly by Harry Hooper of Red Sox, Benny Kauff of Giants, Goslin of Na- tionals and Ruth. 2. Most homers, total series. seven, breaking old record of s set by Goose Goslin in 1924 and 1925. Ruth hit one homer in 1921 and three in 1923, 3. Most total bases in one game, 12, breaking mark of 9 set up by Hooper in 1915 4. Most extra bases, one game, 9. breaking former record of 6, held jointly by Ruth, Kauff and Hooper. 5. Most runs, one game, 4, breaking record first made by Mike Donlin with Glants in 1305 and equaled by many others. Most extra bases, ord of 18. The seventh and final record tor one club’s total bases in a single game was set by the Yankees, whose 14 hits totaled 28 bases, eclipsing the mark of 27 made by the Giants in 1921, WHITE SOX AND CUBS By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 7.—The Cubs won yesterday's game of the Chicago City series from the White Sox, 4 to 1, making necessary a seventh game. It will be played today at Cubs’ Park, to decide the title. The White Sox sent their hurling ace, Lyons, to the mound, but the Cubs took kindly to.his offerings and scored four runs hefore Thomas re- lieved him. Jones, the National Leaguers' left- handed star, was master of the situa- tion throughout. although in the eighth inning he walked Sheely, White Sox slugging first baseman, and forced in the American League team's only run. CRIQUI IS OU:I'POINTED IN BUENOS AIRES BOUT BUENOS AIRES, October 7 (#).— Lugene Criqui of France, former world featherweight champion, made his debut in South America last night and outpointed in a 12-round bout by Carlos Uzabeaga of Chile, the South American featherweight cham- pion. Criqui was floored for the count of three in the ninth round. to Ruth. records go in base ball, where a hase bat"—stood everything, including Dr. The first time at bat Ruth hit into the corner of the right fleld stands. The next time at bat he moved his home run half way up between right and center, and smacked it over the stands. The third time he was given a base on balls. The fourth time he hit a prodigious wallop into the center field bleachers. The fifth time up he was given another hase on balls while the crowd—a St. Louis crowd, too—yelled “Let him hit.” They were thirsty for a fourth home run in succession. They had glven up all hope of winning the game. Mangled Former Records. By doing all this the Sultan of Swat mangled the former records for extra bases in a world series and a lot of other things. Yet he did nothing which had as much tonic effect on his team mates as the first homer, be- cause that started the mauling crew again, and they stampeded their way through the remainder of the game, leaving first one pitcher and then an- other in their wake. The fleldd was literally strewn with breathless and crippled pitchers. During batting practice before the game, Ruth broke a favorite bat. He hit the handle on the ground and said something, which—perhaps fortunate- ly—did not carry to the stands. Then he went back to the dugout and se- lected another bat. That bat can’t be had for love nor money until this world series is over. It is an en- larger silver ash, and neither Rogers Hornsby nor his pitchers is likely ever to forget it. While Ruth was waxing more and more famous, the St. Louis pitchers crumpled under the attack, Rhem was taken out for a pinch hitter, but before he was taken out he was no such pitcher as he had been in the National League race. Hornsby debated long before starting him. It seems that Rhem has not been comporting him- self with the dignity requisite of a world serfes pitcher. - Lotus English Shoes— exclusively at Hess’ in Washington. $14.50 to $15.00. . RUTH IS POURING MONEY IN YANK OWNER TILLS Brings Series Back to New York With Big War Club and Cash Is Rolling In for the Remainder of the Games. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. T. LOUIS, October 7—Babe Ruth continues to be a big money maker for his owners. The New York American base ball club will not be compelled to refund on the tickets it had sold for the sixth game of the world series, to be played in the metropolis—and they owe it all The Bambino took the experts, the prophets, the records, the St. Louis pitchers, the fans, and the bettors, and massaged them all into a suet pud- ding in yesterday’s game, for which he provided both sauce and suet. His three home runs—not in successive times at bat, but in succession as on balls does not count as a “time at . Statistics, on its head. ‘When Rhem went out, Reinhart went in, and the southpaw who has come within close range of pitching a no-hit game was tossed about like a cork on a tidal wave. He gave four bases on balls in the fifth in- ning, Koenig scratched a Texas leaguer double to right field, and out of the mess the Yankees emerged with four runs. The Cardinals were rather hope- lessly gone and done for after that, and they appeared to quite as much disadvantage as the Yanks had when they were off their batting feed. Hoyt did not pitch a game of few hits or anything like that, but he was steady, conservative and aiming at the plate in the pinches, and if Kéenig had not missed a double play in the fourth the Cards would have scored but two runs. One of those was given to them in the ninth, verything happened in this game that could happen except a muffed fly. Herman Bell, the third Card pitcher, balked. Three New York players were thrown out taking desperate chances, and each throw stopped a run. Hafey and Douthit collided, and Hafey was knocked out, but both got up and re- sumed pla Twenty-five Yankees reached first base in the first eight innings, an average of more than three an inning. The Yanks made 14 hits and were given 10 bases on balls. That is the equivalent of 24 hits. Yet the Cards stood up under that without a fielding error.

Alex- ander, the Cards’ best-looking bet, probably will be saved for the Satur- day game in New York. National League men are disap- pointed. They have no excuses to make for the St. Louis Club, but the big hitting of the Yankees had been postponed so long they had grown confident they had the Yanks with their backs to the wall. The teams stand even on the series again, with the score at 2 all, but the Yanks now hold the moral upper hand. They feel in their bones that their old batting power has returned, and that they are going to slug their way through to victory. Moreover, they have the satisfaction of knowing that the series will be decided on their home grounds. But the Cards are not a licked hall club yet. They will fight to the last game to give their loyal supporters a mythical world championship. DECIDE TITLE TODAY T. LOUIS.
