Golf Champ FATE SPURNS FITZ AS 64842 WATCH Scratch Hit Fatal in Duel With Hadley—Gehrig and Ripple Clout Homers. (Continued From First Page.) the rest of the third inning to the eighth. In the fifth, sixth and seventh, Pitzsimmons turned them back in order. From the moment. Gehrig's ball landed into the bleachers in the second inning until Selkirk's single in the eighth Fitz faced only 19 bat- ters and the possible minimum is 18. The Giants, in the meantime, were slapping Hadley merrily but not until Jimmy Ripple led off the fifth inning with & home run into the renovated “Ruthville” in right fleld were they able to score. And, of course, they couldn't score after this clout. It Just was not in the books. The forces of Col. Bill Terry had no trouble getting men on base. Only in three innings did they fail to do this—the second, third and fourth frames, when Hadley matched Fits pitch for pitch. They got plenty of men an base, all right, but nine were stranded. In the first inning Moore led off with his first and only hit of a series in which he seems destined to be the “goat.” Dick Bartell sacrificed and Skipper Terry banged a single to center that Di Maggio reached quickly and returned to the plate so rapidly that Moore put on the brakes at third base. With Mel Ott at bat the Giants’ eause looked good but the little slug- ger merely slammed into a double- play, Crosetti to Gehrig, and the inning was over. Futility Follows Moore. ‘HE inning in which Ripple tied I= the score—the fifth—found Moore advancing his unwilling claim for the title of “goat.” Jo-Jo could have broken up the ball game right then and there, but he failed as he was destined to fail in the seventh and ninth innings. Spurred by Ripple’s home run, Gus Mancuso singled but was forced by Whitehead, who elected to try & steal of second. It was not bad base ball but it happened to be fatal in this cass for, after he was cut down, Jackson walked and Fitz got a single on a drive past Rolfe, sending the Giants’ captain to third. Here it was up to More, but the gauze ghost only tapped to Hadley. Ott got a single in the sixth but two were out and it was meaningless. In the seventh, however, the Giants were hammering away again, only to be thwarted. In this inning they received & kick in the pants that was dwarfed only by Crosetti’s ball. With two out and the weak end of the batting order up, surprise was general when Jackson and Fitzsim- mons singled in succession and gave Moore a second chance to become the day’s hero but, through no lack of effort on Jo-Jo's part, he failed agsin. Moore caught hold of a pitch squarely and shot it on a line toward center but Lazzeri leaped high in the air and snagged it for the third out. Again in the eighth inning the Giants threatened, and this failure to score probably was the biggest let- down of all, although it may not have hurt as much as when Lazzeri stole a hit from Moore. Bartell, leading off, singled to left and, after Terry had forced him, Ott produced his second single to send Manager Bill to second. ‘This time Ripple could only ground to Lazzeri, Terry and Ott moving up, and Mancuso flied high to Powell. That was all as far as the Giants Wwere concerned, unless you count the last inning when Pat Malone, who fin- ished the game for Hadley, gave up a single to Leslie after whifing White- head and making Pinch-Hitter Mark Koenig ground out. The fight was gone from the Giants by that time. Their hearts were broken and the big. gest heart and the biggest break was hidden under the gray flannel that covered the hide of Freddie Fitzsim- mons. HEISMAN, COACH, DIES Introduced Forward Pass to Foot Ball, Originated Shift. NEW YORK, October 3 (#).—John William Heisman, the foot ball coach credited by many with introducing the forward pass to the game, and originator of the widely known “Heisman shift,” died of bronchial pneumonia at his home here today after a 10-day illness. He would have been 67 October 23, It was while Heisman was coaching the “Golden Tornado” elevens at Georgia Tech from 1904 to 1920 that the ‘Heisman shift” first appeared on the gridiron. Heisman also coached Georgia Tech's base ball and basket ball teams. ' $235,108 Is Paid ByRecord Crowd { By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, October 3.—The Chi- cago White Sox today made it three straight victories over their city series rivals, the Cubs, winning 4 to 2 back of their vet- eran hurling star, Ted Lyons. Only four hits were needed by the American Leaguers. While the Cubs outhit them better than two to one with nine safeties, fine defensive play by Lyons’ teammates pulled him through when help was needed. The victory left the Sox but one game to go to retain the city cham- plonship they have made a habit of keeping in recent years, 21,600 Witness Game. THI largest gathering of the series to date, 21,600 fans, saw the Sox break a 1-to-1 deadlock in the third inning with a three-run uprising which routed Pitcher Curt Davis. He had held the Sox to three hits. ©Of the four runs the Sox scored, only one was earned and, aside from their third-inning outbreak, only three men reached first. Davis was followed by Pitchers Bill Lee and Charley Root, Root yielding the Sox other hit. ‘The game was played in 1 hour 25 minutes, Tomorrow’s pitchers for Chicago's fourth city series game will be French, Cubs, vs. Dietrich, White Sox.

Some High Lights on Series By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 3.—Freddy Fitzsimmons, hero and goat of the third world series game, had Carl Hubbell's praise to console him. Hubbell went to him in the club house after the game. “That's the greatest game I've ever seen you pitch,” he said. But Fitzsimmons was inconsolable. “Some days I feel like I can throw that ball through & brick wall. Today was one of them,” he said. “But I made two mistakes. I threw Gehrig a slow one in the second and he hit it into the bleachers, and I flelded Crosetti’s bounder in the eighth when I should have let it go.” The irony of the game was that Fitzsimmons, who generally is regard- ed as the finest fielding pitcher in the majors, lost the game he wanted to win the most by juggling Frankie Cro- setti’s grounder and letting the win- ning run in in the eighth. That remark about “shouting from the housetops” must have originated around Col. Ruppert’s big ball yard. The roofs beyond the bleachers and the “El” were filled and the occu- pants, who paid enterprising janitors 25 cents for admission, made plenty of noise. Jo-Joe Moore, who has been won- derfully inefiicient at bat, got his first hit of the series his first time up today. Coming up again in the third, he got hold of another. But “Twinkle- toes” Selkirk pulled it down just short of the left-field bleachers. It probably would have been a homer at the Polo Grounds. Then Tony Lazzeri robbed Moore of & hit in the seventh, with & great stab of Joe's line smash. Moore could have scored from sec- » | ond on Terry’s single in the first if he had been & little psychic. Pancho Snyder, the Giants' coach off third, motioned him to halt when Di Maggio fielded the ball fast, but Bump Hadley muffed the throw-in, and the Giant chance disappeared when Mel Ott hit into a double play. The record-breaking Yanks headed for & cash-box record. to. If the size of today's crowd is duplicate for to- morrow’s fourth game—the last one in which the players get a cut—the players’ pool will approximate $422,000. The record “cut” of $419,736.60 was set in 1928, when the Yankees polished off the Cardinals in four straight. “Fat” Freddy just knuckled them to death in the third. He struck out both members of the Italian keystone team, Lazseri and Crosetti, and forced Hadley to fly out. Terry’s bad leg cost him a hit in the fourth. He drove a hot grounder be- tween third and short. Crosetti went over almost to the grass, stopped it and threw to the sack, an instant be- fore the colonel hobbled over. Terry and Fitzsimmons went into & huddle when Di Maggio came up for the first time. Evidently they decided Joe likes to hit high balls, so Freddy gave him low ones and got him on & Pop. Crosetti tried the hidden ball trick in the eighth when Terry was on sec- ond and Ott on first, but Coach Luque and Gus Mancuso screamed and Terry snaked back to the bag. ‘Terry has hit safely his first time up in all three games. ‘Tony Lazzeri, whose homer with the bases loaded made him the hero of the second game, went down swinging his first time up today. FPitz gave him a quick curve on the third strike. Next time up, Tony drove Joe Moore against the left-fleld boxes with his long fly. PASSES BEAT BADGERS.

BRITON43VICTOR OVER WS, CREWS Paves Way to Second Major Title of Year When She Sinks 47-Foot Chip. BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer. UMMIT, N. J., October 3.—Nine« teen-year-old Pamels (Pam) Barton of London, reigning British titleholder, won the fortieth United States women's golf championship today and became the second woman in history to win both major titles in one year. Miss Barton, plump, titian-haired and always smiling, conquered the veteran Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., 4 and 3, in 33 holes, exactly two weeks after another Bri- ton, Jack McLean of Scotland, was nosed out in the men's final at ‘Gare den City by Johnny Fischer of Cine cinnati, She dashed the hopes of the 28« year-old American, who also was beaten in the finals nine years ago, with & two under par performance on the last 17 holes, mastering conditions on Oanoe Brook Country Club's soft and slow course that had licked most other contestants during the week's play. By virtue of her triumph, Miss Bare ton equalled the “double” scored by Dorothy Campbell, now Mrs. Hurd, in 1909 and kept alive a long tradition— every foreigner who ever reached the final has won. Mrs. Hurd won in 1909-10 and Gladys Ravenscroft, an- other English woman, captured the title in 1913 in the last international final until today’s. Gets Break on No. 18, 188 BARTON won by seizing op- portunities that Maureen wasted in the morning, particularly on the first nine, and on the might of her superior stroking and boldness. Al- though Mrs, Crews frittered away chance after chance going out in the morning by missing two yard-long putts for wins, and another three- footer for a half, it looked as if her 11 years of trying at last might be crowned with success. Two down through the fifth, one down at the ninth, again two down at the eleventh, and still trailing by one at the sixteenth, Pam didn't appear disturbed. She was smiling all the time, apparently waiting for a break. She squared the match at the seven- teenth with a par 3, while Maureen's tee shot was buried in s sand trap and she made a great explosion from it 20 feet past the cup, but missed the putt. And then came the break. A drive and a brassie carried Pam's ball to the foot of the sharp hill leading up to the 477-yard eighteenth. She chipped up just off the carpet—47 feet from the cup. Maureen, meanwhile, had hooked her drive close to the boundary and was in the rough back of the green in four. Holes Chip for Lead. PAM gave a great deal of thought to her next shot. In fact she spent so much time spectators became & little impatient. But she made it worth their while. She chipped up half way to the hole and the ball rolled the rest of the way in, for a birdie 4 and the lead. Maureen, standing beside her ball, turned white and almost shook. It was & blow from which she never recovered. The freckle-faced London smiled her brightest smile, and she might. That dividend-payi chip not only gave her the advants S the Sest thms.
