New York, Oct. 6.—"Can the Giants stop Mike McNally?” today appeared to be as moot a question among world series faua as that of whether they can halt Baba Ruth. For “Minooka Mike"" as he is known stands out as one of the big heroes of the victery of the Yankees over the Giants in the first game of the world series. He took his place with Ty Cobb in the hall of baseball notables by steal- ing home in a world’s title game. The Detroit manager performed the trick in the 1909 series against Pittsburgh. McNally made ths steal in the fifth inning after he had reached third on his double and Schang’s sacrifice. “I aidn’t get a signal to try the steal,”” McNally said with a bashful grin, “but I just figured I could beat Douglas’ windup and throw so I start- ed toward the plate.” { Douglas was unprepared for the surprising event and so was Catcher Snyder who attempted to tag him out when the pitch was made to Miller at bat. Snyder was on the opposite side of the plate and did not reach the runner. McNally didn’t figure in the field but his batting and base running record was sufficient. Up four times, he made a single and a double and in addition to stealing home, added another stol- en base to his string. The youthful star, a native of Min- ooka, Pa.. is a fellow townsman of Steve O‘Neill, the Cleveland Indians’ chief backstop. They live on the same steet, next door to each other and learned their baseball together. MISS LEITCH BEATEN British Golf Champion 1 Up in Hard- Fought Match. Deal, N. J., Oct. 6.—The mightiest of the mighty has fallen. Miss Cecil Leitch, hailed by many as the great- est golfing woman the world has ever seen, the girl on whom John Bull had staked his all to make fitting reprisal for the victory of Jock Hutchinson at St. Andrews, the girl whose coming to American shores portended dire disaster so far as concerned the re- tention of the national woman's champlonship, was yesterday tumbled into the abyss of defeat by a mite of a woman from out in the Middle West. It was Mrs. Fred C. Letts, Jr., of the Onwentsia club, Chicago, who was re- sponsible for the greatest miracle ever performed in a national women's championship, who, pitted against a star who dwarfed her both in stature and in frame, accepted the challense and carved an everlasting niche for herselt on the tablet of golf history by downing her great rival on. the home green, by 1 up. HcGRAW DISAPPOINTED Giants’ Leader However is Confldent His Tean Will Win Covcted World’s Championship Title. New York, Oct. 6.—I must admit that I am greatly disappointed over the resul¢ of the opening game, but defeat on the first day does not mean defeat in the serfes. I am confident that we will win this series. Every- thing broke for the Yankees yester- day, and the Giants did not play their zame. They did no¢ quite rise to the rccasion in the field and they certain- iy fell down with the bat. It was a Gay such as I feared and such as fol- lowed most of our days of idleness during the season. Every time we got a day off the team was sure to slump. Bu it always came back strong. So luok out for the Giants today. LOUISVILLE BEATS ORIOLES IN OPENER Colonels Make 19 Hits in Inter- League Series Louisville, Ky., Oct. 6.—Battering a trio of pitchers for nineteen hits Louisville, champions of the Americin Association, buried Baltimore, the pen- nant winning club of the International League, under a 16 to 1 score in the first game of the junior worlds series here yesterday. ‘The veteran Nick Cullop, a left hander of major league fame, pitched for Louisville and, although touched for 10 hits, suceeded in keeping them Iscattered, with the exception of the first and third innings and in the ninth when Paltimore, by bunching two managed to save itself from a shutout. Callup fanned six and only allowed one base on balls. The official attendance was 3,253 and the receipts $4,226.

The purse for yesterday's race was $14,000. YANKS ARE HAPPY OVER WIN YESTERDAY Mays, Ruth, McNally and Peck Voice Satisfaction For the 3-0 Victory, New York, Oct. 6.—In the Yankee clubhouse after the game yesterday ev- erything was hip-hip, hurrah. There was a general Jjollification, laughter, smiles—and determination to keep up the fine work. Here's how some of the men took it: CARL MAYS—*I was confident that I would beat the Giants. I knew that they could not hit that underhand ball, and I fooled them with a curve. I never tired, but ivas just as good at the finish as 1 was at the start. In fact, 1 was putting more stuff on the ball and getting better results toward the finish 1 ought to win at least another, don't you think?’ BABE RUTH—*It was a great game to win. We knew that we could beat the Giants any which way we had to beat them. I guess that speed fooled them, eh? What was the matter with my home run bat? Oh, just a little va- cation—just a vacation.” MIKE McNALLY—"I enjoyed the game immensely That steal of home was all my own idea. Nobody told me to go in, But when I saw Douglas do that windup act I said: Here's where 1 make that hit of mine count.’ ROGER PECKINPAUGH—-“‘We had drive; we had pitching; we had a miked attack; we surprised them, and wé beat them. There isn't a team in the world which will stop us.” HUGGINS ELATED Yankees’ Manager Lauds Team and Particularly Mays and Captain Peckinpaugh—Also Praises Frisch. New York, Oct. 6.—Our club played a great game, and with remarkable piiching by Carl Mays and brilliant defensive work by Peckinpaugh, who played the game of his career, we clearly had the edge. The boys were in there fighting hard—determined to n—and they showed a lot of stuff which the general public probably thought they could not flash. They Lae nou only ability to hit and fine pitching but they had more speed than he fastest club in the National Lizague. The Giants played a fine game, and Douglas deserves a lot of credit, but they simply could not hit Mays, and we simply would not be beaten. 1 want to give credit to Frisch. I had tnat boy all the way. In some particulars the Giants did 1ot come up to expectations. But we were prepared for them no matter what sory oL generaiship they adopt- ed. We are on our way and we will neard a lot about him, but he certain- ly astonished me. He is a great natural hitter and a streak on the bases. We will have to look out for not be stopped. Who will pitch the second game? Well, I prefer to keep that information to myself. “Firsts” in Yanks-Giants Opener batter—Miller, Yanks. hit—Miller, Yanks. run—DMiller, Yanks. player to bat in run—Ruth, Some First First First First Yanks.

IS BELIEF Star Halthack Suliering From, Water on the Knee The New Britain High school foot- ball squad is.in danger of losing onn of its hest bets for the season through the absence of Davis, the flashy half- back, now under the care of phy- sicians with water on the knee. While it is possible that the player may re- cuperate in time to take part in tho big games of the season, the attend- ing doctors are inclined to believe that Davis has played all the football that he will play for this season. The young star complained Tuesday of what appeared to be a stiffening or partial paralysis of the leg at the knee. At the advice of Coach George C. Cas- sidy, he did .not repori for practice that night. Since the injury appeared to be no better yesterday. he went to a doctor and was given the discourag- ing report that he may be lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Davis is a veteran of the 1919 and 1920 squads. He played a tackle po- sition on these elevens and played it well. Coach Cassidy selected him for one of the backfield positions this sea- son and his work as a halfback com- pletely eclipsed his performances on the line. Trom a standpoint of ex- perience, speed and gamencss, he is regarded as one of the most valuable men on the squad. The coaching stafl had planned to use Davis for a great- er part of the punting this season and from the way he booted the pigskin around the park in practice games it appeared that he would have filled the bill in a very acceptable manne Coach Cassidy has some beckfield material which. although not as ex- perienced as Davis, may be groomed so as to fill in the hole left by the absence of the speedy half-back. Among the likely candidates, “Dom’ Naples appears to stand out as the most acceptable for the place, while Bray, although considerably lighter than the usual run of half-backs, stands a good chance of seeing service this year. Naples is a member of the track team. During the winter season ath- letic meets of last year and later in the cvents run off in various cities throughout tha state, tha local boy showed his heels to some of the best entrants. Should he be placed in a backfield position. it is certain that this speed would Serva him in ‘good stead. He has been under the watch- ful eve of Coach Cassidy for several weeks and it i7 a known fact that hia modo of tackling has been given the stamp of approvai. & specdy lad withsplonty of pluck and is a good broken field run- ner. - K.

New York, Oct. 6.—Scenes in the clubhouse of the Giants after the game vesterday were rather surpris- ing. There was no gloom. The play- ers joked with each other and took the contest apart. They felt that they had net played the right kind of a game, and they admitted it free- ly. But they were certain that they would win today and take the series. All the players emphasized the fact that the club always slumps after a day or two of idleness, but comes |back stronger than ever. Their im- pressions follow: 3 DAVE BANCROFT—“It was a tough day for us. Nothing seemed to g0 right with the exception of the pitching. Phil was all there, and de- serves a lot of credit. But imagine the Yanks stealing ‘home on us!" FRANK FRISCH—“How do I feel |after those four hits? Well, I will [admit to you that I do not feel sick. 1 can’t imagine why the boys did not kill that Mays' pitching. It was easy If he pitches again we 11 soak him all over the lot.” GEORGE KELLY—“We had a bad day, so we got a trimming. We always have a bad day after a day off. Too much rest took some of the edge off, but this team is not going to take two beatings in a row from any club.” ROSS YOUNG—"The speed of the Yankees surprised me. Still, there's no reason for feeling sad.” PITTSBURGH FANS WAGER NEARLY $200,000 ON SERIES. Pittsburgh, Oct. 6.—Nearly $200,000 has been bet in this city on the world's series between the Giants and the Yankees. The largest wager reported was made at Kramera Gardens when a well known oil operator placed $20,- 000 against $19,000 on the Giants to win. Several $5,000 bets were record- ed and bets of $3,000, $2,000 and $500 ‘wera listed several times. Three $500 bets were made on the following propositions: That Kelly has a higher batting average than Ruth: that Ruth tops Frisch and that Young outbats Pipp. FORDS RUN 34 MILES ON GALLON GASOLINE Start Easy in Coldest Weather—Other Cars Show Proportionate Saving. A new carburetor which cuts down clina ponsnmntion of seay Sepo reduces gasoline bills from one-thii® % one-half s the proud achievement of the Air-Friction Carburetor Co., 1423 Madison St., Dayton, Ohio.

Superb pitching by Dick Kerr o the Write Sox, de:nonstrating hus ab.lity, to extricate himself from at lcast two tight wedges, permitt.d tre White Sox to sail on a calm sea to victory over their North Side rivals. Grover Cleveland Alexander started on the mound in much stead- g ier fashion than Kerr, but Kerr, after walking two batters in the first in. ning, regained control and held the C-bs to five scattered hits. Short stop Ernie Johnson of the Sox was the firs¢ to hit and score, but ke didn't do all of that in one in- ning. After Kerr had held the Cubs bitless in the first, Johnson beat out a scratch hit to Grimes. In the third iuning the Sox shortstop doubled and wade the first score of the game,when Amos Strunk sipgled to left field.

LEHIGH TO DRILL AT NIGHT. Bethlehem, Pa., Oct. 6.—In speec ing up for the Rutgers game next Sa urday it became apparent at Lehig university yesterday that Coach Fran! Glick will. conduct his practice ses sions late into the night when twc huge spotlights were erected yesterday on the coping around the stadium to cast their rays across the field. In the scrimmage yesterday Coach Glick used practically the same men that started against Susquehanna in the opening zame. - e 350— 969 Douglas pitched good ball—that was one consolation. And Mays did not deserve a shutout. There were a log of little things here and there which would have chanzed that game ilnmediately, but they did not come sur way. And we are not going to ory abouy it. | The boys were a little short in pep- per, but they fought gamely—as they fought all through the hard season. That team of ours is a great and powerful one. It's one of the great- esu which ever played in a world’s sevies and it is going to make a lot + trouble for the Yankees. I am not in a position to affirm the supposition at I will use Nehf today. Jay Lee, piloted by Curtis, won the third heat of the unfinished 2:15 trot, the first two heats of which were won on Tuesday by Lighthouse Watts. This event was a three heat race, reeed under a new rule whereby the winner of two successive heats is taken out and the remaining horses contest for the remainder of the purse. Main Direct, brown gelding by Har- ry Direct—Main Shes=t, easily won the 2:04 pace, a two in three heat event, with Senator Wilkes finishing second in both heats.
