lhe Eoening Stap Fporis BATURDAY, OOTOBER 5, 1931, Terry “Embarrassed” After His Giants Are Toppled Third Time HUBBELL IS LAST - HOPE OF LOSERS ‘Nuts,’ Cries Irked Old Loop Manager, Hearing Yanks Will Hurl Hadley. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, October 9.—Tt's no contest, and whoever forced the Giants to get out there and make saps of themaelves was guilty of unfair practices, at Teast, Three games down-—8-1. 8-1 add 8-1—the Polo Grounders went into the fourth and probably the final game against the Yankees today as limp as an 1894 corset out of the attic srunk. Bill Terry, their manager. admitted after yesterday's third straight troune- ng that he was “embarrassed.” He said he was worse than that—but not | for publication. Bill was in almost as great & daze as | were the young men he had previously been proud to manage. He announced, weakly, that Carl Hubbell would brave the Yankee bats again today and that | and | Harry Danning would catch, then he said: “Nuts.” And that was how it was. knocked from the box in the opening game, had to give it another try today, even if his 34 years howled for an additional day's rest. The Yankees, gloating in their easy mastery, were able to send a second-string pitcher, Pump Hadley, out for the clincher. Giants’ Chance Slim. THAT was the thing that appeared | to hurt Terry most—when he heard that his managerial rival, Joe McCarthy, was going to use a fourth pitcher instead of shooting Lefty Gomes in there again. The colonel seemed to feel that his club at least deserved to be licked by the best. There was an off chance, of course, that the National Leaguers would sage & comeback today behind Hub- bell. Carlo atill is a great pitcher, s he demonatrated for five innings in the first game. He might, the Giants’ Inst-ditch supporters declared, start a malily that would pull the world series out of the fire. But no fairly impartial observer, who had watched the Yanks assert their superiority the last three afternoons | oould agree there was better than a 1,000-to-1 chance. There wasn't any aomparison between the teams, yester- day or the two previous days. Some were beginning to ask “Why & world series?” They could even ask, with some justice, “Why the Yankees?” A team so obviously in a class by ftmelf should be forced to form its own leegue and not go around picking on nice young men like the Giants. It's neither sporting nor particularly prof- itable. Only 37.000 paid their way nto yesterday’s abbatoir. Yank Pitching Surprises, HE greatest surprise has been the Yankee pitching. Because of the dinry scores piled up all year by Joe Di Maggio, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey and the other mammoths, it had be- eome popular to auppose that the | American League pachyderms were blundering through behind a collec~ tion of throwers. The Gianis were | supposed to have the pitching; the | ‘Yankees the batting. Now, at this late date, it comes to | light that "McCarthy's pitchers can really fog a ball across. After Monte Pearson’s exhibition yesterday, in which he retired the first 12 Giants to face him and allowed only five hits all told, Terry gave grudging testimonial: “Either they have some great pitchers or my boys are all blind.” Pearson finally went out in the ninth, When the Giants filled the sacks with two away, but that scarcely dimmed the brilliance of his work. Johnny Murphy pitched to the last man, Harry Danning, and caused him to fly out. ‘That was the closest that the Giants had eome to injecting themselves into the aseries in three days. Danning eould have tied the score with a home run. He ocould have been elected Presi- dent, 100, with enough votes. Terry Apt to Shuffle Club. me Was & possibility that Terry o would change his line-up today. His volunteer advisors were suggesting after yesterday's debacle that he get Hank Leiber, Wally Berger and Sam Leslie in there somewhere. None of the three is a twinkling star afield, nor famed for his thinking, but each has been known to get a base hit on oc- easion. Anything they might con- tribute along the latter line would be & change, at least. But Terry didn't know. He didn't even seem to care. All he would swear to was that Hubbell would pitch and Danning catch. Gus Mancuso is out of the series with a damaged little finger. The gory details of yesterday vary from those of the first two days_only in that the Yanks got started earlier. Hal Schumacher, third of the Giants’ “aces,” proved to be only what is pop- ularly known as a dirty deuce when # those Yanks started swinging. He lacked control and his sinker ball didn’t fool anybody for a minute, A walk to Selkirk and successive singles by Hoag and Lazzeri gave the 2 Rupperts theirf first tally in the second inning. Gehrig’s single, Dickey’s triple off the left wall and Selkirk’s single accounted for two more in the | Sch third. Gehrig's long fly brought in Rolfe, who had doubled in the fourth. Three Giant errors—two of them by Johnny McCarthy on the same play— eombined with another single by Hoag $6 produce the final score in the fifth, ‘That was all. It wasn't spectacular, and no home runs. But it was sufi- sient to sink the Giants convincingly. BYE, BYE BLACKBIRDS.

By the Associated Press. | HICAGO, October 9.—The Chi- | cago Cubs, zpparently deter- mined to use their home town rivals to prove they are a bet- | ter team than their recent National League race collapse indicated, went Sox today in the fourth game of the twenty-second city championship se- | ries. Holding an advantage of two vie- Cubs sent husky Bill Lee, a right- hander, after another win which would | make the National Leaguers strong fa- | vorites to crack the string of three straight championships captured by the American League club. The Sox's pitching choice was Johnny White- head, aiso a right-hander. Tight Hurling Marks Series, F THE same brand of pitching that has marked the skirmish thus far holds out today, the plate averages of the losers will continue to suffer, In the opener, Tex Carleton hurled the Cubs to victory on a five-hit perform- ance. In the second game, Vern Ken- nedy of the White Sox turned back the Cubs on a three-hit chore, and yesterday as the Cubs went out in front, Larry Frengh repulsed the White Sox, 4 to 1, on a four-hit mas- terpiece. French had plenty of help from his | mates, notably Catcher Gabby Hart- nett, the North Side club’s “grand old man” Hartnett socked a homer in | base. Then in the next frame, ap- parently deciding to take part in the offensive as”well as defensive duties, French banged a triple to score Augie Galan, who had doubled. The final Cub run came in the fifth on & double, two passes and an error. One of the four hits allowed by French was a disputed homer by Jackie Hayes which saved the Sox from a shutout. The ball hit near the top of the wall and bounced into the seats. The Cub protest that the hit should be held to a ground rule double got nowhere with Umpire Ziggy Sears of the National League.

The Giants have only three starting pitchers . . . Hubbell, Melton and Schumacher. Yesterday Schumacher was knocked out. With the score 5—0, Terry warmed up Mel- ton. Obviously, the Giants could not win. Terry probably wanied to hold the Yanks to a fairly respectable acore. ‘Today he had to nominate Hubbell after two days’ rest. The Yanks could gamble with the wunreliable Bump Hadley. What if Hubbell stiould win? Who would work on Sunday? For the Yanks, of course, Lefty Gomez. But the Giants? The answer, probably, is Melton. In_short, Mountain Music would be plaiyed three times in four days. That is too often to play Victor Herbert or Beethoven, even. So what? So the series is over. The exodus already has begun. Fans are going to see some foot ball today. Even a portion of the press has been called off the series to cover grid games. That's the kind of & series it is . . . empty. National Leaguers Face Crisis. EANWHILE, National Leaguers are dying a thousand deaths. They have conceded victory. Their league has not won a world series since 1934, when Ditsy and Dafty Dean beat the Tigers. That makes it three straight series defeats, counting this one. And they have lost two out of the last three All-Star games. A charitable press can write around | it for a while, but, in the end, there is no hiding the blunt truth. The National League is not on a par with the American. En route to the Polo Grounds today, one of the National League’s more famous coaches coh- fessed. “I have to be honest,” he said. “The Giants don’t belong on the same field with the Yan- kees. And the Giants were the best in our league.” It now is pretty evident to all that American League fans see the classier base ball; In fact, it is too evident. This means that cities like Chicago and Boston and New York are likely to swing strongly toward the Ameri- can League club next year. And that the gate receipts of teams like the A iy 1t is sort of pitiful, instead of being funny.

For all-round value, Dick Bartell probably oveérshadows Cecil Travis, and Burgess Whitehead figures over Buddy Myer. But, bad s hé has been this year, Joe Kuhel 15 a better first baseman than McCarthy. The kid has one of the poorer batting strokes. You would have to take Rick Ferrell over Mancusco or Danhing, too. That is, Rick Ferrell when he is sound of body. The Nats haven't had a pitcher as good as Hubbell since Walter John- son. Or, maybe, it should be said a pitcher as good as Hub was. King Karl doesn't seem to be the same. Schumacher is no better than Jimmy De S8hong and Wes Ferrell is 3-to-1 better than Melton. As a re- | liet pitcher, Monte Weaver could pitch rings around Dick Coffman, Or maybe I'm wrong.
