HILADELPHIA, Pa., October P 10.—In looking back at one of the most gripping world series ever played, the things that most impressed me was the mighty carnival of air- tight pitching that extended through the six games as well as the heavy scoring the Athletics squeezed out of a limited number of hits.

HERE have been many gravely unsatisfactory fights in the last few years. from them are responsible for the reported intention of Joseph A. Mec- Ginnles, Speaker of the New York As- sembly, to ask the Legislature this Winter to kill boxing in his State. That Mr. McGinnies will not be with- out ammunition is well evidenced by the conditions revealed in this series. There have been astounding graft and corruption and there has been a definite impotency evidenced by the forces in- trusted with State control. In Pennsylvania the boxing commis- sloners have come to & frank confession that they are unable to cope with the chiselers and racketeers and that their efforts at administration can result only in the minimizing of crookedness. The New York authorities so far have es- caped such a defeatist admission, but at times their steel must weaken.

Louis Cardinals. ing back at the world series, ST. LOUIS, October 10.—Look- -y 1t, now that we have had a lit- - tle time to reflect and con- sider, I can’t see any reasons for regrets, except over the fact that we lost. I mean that we gave our best and that if we were to start another series tomorrow, 1 would follow the same plan of campaign and I would depend on the same men who tried so hard to capture the world champlonship for St. Louls and for the National League. where we battled for the honors and the spoils, there were many volunteer strategists who wanted to tell the two teams how they ought to tackle their problems and naturally we heard con- siderable criticism. # But I'll stand on the way we played our cards. I started Grimes in the first game because I considered him our best bet, and he vindicated my judg- ment, even though he suffered two de- feats, by turning in two brilliant exhibi- tions of hurling. Five hits were all the Mackmen got off him in the opener, but they haj ed to be for extra bases and that beat Burleigh. ‘Then in Grimes’ second game, which 'd want to see, Jimmy ;wemd with a pitch that wasn't just where Burleigh wanted to put it.
