B4 HOYT'S FINE WORK FEATURE OF GAME Yanks Give Little Evidence of Crippled Condition—Ruth Saves Leg. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, October 5—“ITon't work any more ths you have| b2 Waite Hovt's At least, that was_the impression one got while waiching him send the Cardinals | over the jumps yesterday in the 4-to-1 opener of this 1928 serics for the base ball championship of the world. Waite didn't exert himself, never was| “bearing down” as they say in the game| of a pitcher who is putting everything | he has into a pitch—on any particular batter, and apparently never worried whether he was ahead or behind the| batter in the ball-and-strike count. In fact, the Yankee's mound ace acted as though he might have been pursuing the vocation that is his outside of base ball—that of undertaking—rather than striving to -mow _down the champions of the National League. So nonchalant was Hoyt in his per- formance that seemingly he became careless in the eighth inning when Bill McKechnie, commanding general of the| St. Louis forces, began rushing reserves | to the attacking line. At least, Hovt's| pitching for a few minutes was nothing | like that which in the seven innings previous had yielded the Cardinals but two hits and three passes and resulted in the retirement of four of them by Strikeout. Yet, at that, he made no mistakes. Instead, he apparently was doing a bit of loafing, evidently feeling assured of his ultimate success, Game Just a Breeze. After walking Ernie Orsatti with one gone, Waite uncorked enough stuff to ‘old Watty Holm to a fly to short center and from then on the game was just a breeze for him. True, Jim Bottomley got his second sock of the day to raise to three the Card's hit-total for the game in the ninth, but it didn't mean anything either to Hoyt or the Netional Jeaguers as the game turned out. Hoyt was both, base ball player and undertaker in the series opener. He did some pitching for the Yankees' when The felt like doing so and conducted the funeral of the Cards’ hope of a good start in the title set in a quiet, unob- strusive manner. There was no hint in the perform- ances of either club of “master mind- ing,” something greatly ballyhooed at| many recent series. Maybe the boys have decided to play base ball and quit thinking. It was a purely safety game that the Yankees played. 'Whenever a New Yorker got on the runway he Waited for a mate to sock the apple before atempting any progress. This method proved quite successful, though. ‘What the Cards had up their sleeves for the game will never be- known. Other than Bottomley, no St. Louisan ventured far enough along the basepath — SERVICE = S’I}%TIONS 1 to reveal any attacking strategy Mc- Kechnie may have planned. ‘Wee Willie Sherdel, left handed a good game for the Cards. In fact, it was a game that would have won under ordinary base ball conditions. At times Bill would wind up as though he intended to send up his arm with the ball only to let loose a floater to the plate. Almost always a fast hook followed one of these and almost always it puzzled the Yanks. But occasionally Sherdel let go a high, hard pitch, and it was the high, hard pitch the Yanks hit. They thrive on that kind. The home run club began its membership cam- paign and two of the boys enrolled. Meusel of the Yankees, who had been in the organization before, crashed in with a loft into the right fleld bleacher in the fourth inning. No one congrat- ulated Robert for his swat more than Babe Ruth. The Bambino, who was perched on second as the Tesult of a {second double, was able to get home without taxing his trick leg. And Ruth feels that this series will be a big one for the Yanks if only his underpinning will hold up to the finish. The other entrant to the home run club was Bottomley, who already held a card in the National League branch of the organization. Jim crashed his way into the club in the seventh with a drive that was high and handsome and parked the ball in the upper reaches of the right field stand. Again Ruth saved his trick leg. The Babe, who specializes in homers himself, took just one look at the soaring sphere right after it left Bottomley's bat and never moved a foot. He'd have needed wings to get it anyhow. It may be that Ruth is right about making this a big series for the Yanks if he can save his leg. He was casily the big gun of the American Leaguers in attack in the opening tilt with his two doubles and a single, and although the three chances he had afield were by no meanss oft, he made them ap- pear s0, He's a gem of the first water at_position play, bad leg or no bad leg. Ruth may be a cripple and some of the other Yankees may be sorely in need of surgical attention. The Cards weren't led to believe this, however, in the start of this 1928 series, BAPTIST BOWLERS START TOMORROW Both the men's and women's Baptist Young People’s Union duckpin loops will open their season tomorrow night at Lucky Strike alleys.

McCALLUM. ALTIMORE, October 5.—Such things as accidents happen quite frequently in this varied game of golf, but now we are con- vinced that it will take more than an accident to keep Gene Sarazen from winning the professional match play title tomorrow. The diadem of professional match play supremacy dropped from the sleek black locks of Walter Hagen on the thirty-fifth green late yesterday afternoon and found the likeable little Italian-American lad from New York ready with waiting hands to| clutch the crown he wore in 1922 and | 1923, Sarazen has been getting better with every round, and provided he gets by the Diegel hurdle today, should put the bee on Al Espinosa, whom he will probably play in the final tomorrow, - Sarazen Playing Well. Sarazen is hot and we mean very warm. He played 30 holes of the hot- test golf yesterday that Ed Dudley has ever seen to close out the stolid Los Angeles entrant out by 7 and 6. Gene was so hot that a hasty glance at his card shows he played those 30 holes in one better than even fours. Such stuff as that will give Leo Diegel a fast ride today, with the jaded nerves Diegel must have from that superb yictory over Hagen yesterday. Over in the top half of the draw Espinosa, the medalist, who was hot for the first two rounds and then cooled off, should beat Horton Smith of Joplin, Mo., and move into the final against Sarazen. Espinosa had Jock Hutchison well in hand all the way yesterday, closing out the talking Scot by 5 and 4. Smith snuffed out the hopes of Perry Del Vecchio of New York on the thirty- sixth green by 2 and 1. That Diegel-Hagen match was a golf epic to write home about. Hagen was not so hot yesterday. His putter wasn't working. Diegel started with a burst of hot golf over the first nine holes of the mach, which he played in 34 to Hagen's 40 to turn 5 up. But Hagen wore him down, winning the tenth, thirteenth and seventeenth to go to lunch 2 down. Hagen won the first hole in the afternoon and the end look- ed in sight for the flying Dutchman from New York, who used to be the professional at Priendship, D. C., but Hagen missed a short putt for a half at the second and again was 2 down. Comedy in Errors Starts. Diegel holed a chip shot for a birdie 3 at the fifth, dropped the seventh to a birdie 3 by Hagen and won the ninth to be 3 up with 9 to go. Hagen flung a niblick shot up alongside the pin at the tenth to win and then the comedy of errors started. Instead of picking up holes either should have won. Both men commenced to knock the ball all around the putting green. First it was Hagen, missing a 6-footer on the eleventh for a 4, and then Diegel, blow- ing a 3-footer to win with a four, And on the twelfth Hagen missed another 6-footer, while Diegel blew one of half the length to win the hole. They split the short thirteenth in par 3s, but Diegel laid Hagen a dead stymie on the long fourteenth, which Hagen should Hy b HE Gray changing Perry_Del Veechio of Greens! fegted Fred Dudley of Loy Walter Hagen of Rle, year with a score of 94. other years with their totals follow: have won. The stymie was almost im- possible to negotiate, Although Hagen's ball might have dropped in from the top side of the hole. and was 2 down with 4 to go. Hagen hooked to a trap at the fifteenth and looked sure to lose that hole. played a great mashie shot out, knocked a niblick shot within 5 feet of the hole and dropped the putt for a half in 4. Diegel was then 2 up with 3 to go, but he lost the sixteenth. But he missed, But_he Diegel First to Win. Hagen played a grand shot to the 155-yard seventeenth, 12 feet to the right of the pin, but Diegel matched this shot with one just as good, sto) 14 feet short, with a straight up-hill run to the cup and Diegel stepped up and sank the putt, running up to the hole before the ball dropped in. missed by an eyelash and Diegel was in. ping Hagen Walter has met Leo twice in recent years in these professional match play championships and this is Diegel's first v in over Hagen. Although Sarazen was only 1 up on Dudley at the conclusion of the morning round, he smothered the Los Angeles glant under an avalanche of birdies in the afternoon. had a dog fight, which the tall young- ster from Missouri finally won on the last green. many short putts to catch Espinosa, who beat him on the thirty-second green, RESULTS, PAIRINGS Smith and Del Vecchio Jock Hutchison missed two IN PRO GOLF PLAY BALTIMORE, Md., October 5—Re- sults in the Professional Golfers’ Asso- clation tourney, with pairings for today, are as follows: Third-round results: Upper Bracket.
