EDDIE ANDERSON MATCHED TO BOWL JOE HARPER OF WATERBURY FOR $100 SIDE BET—“SLIM” NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1921. OLITIS, STAR OF 1920 NUTMEGS FOOTBALL TEAM BACK IN LINEUP NEXT SUNDAY—SHAMROCKS TO PLAY PLAINVILLE TEAM—PETER MANNING LOWERS TROTTING RECORD—HUGGINS IS CONFIDENT ANDY AND HARPER T0 BOWL FOR PURSE Two of Connecticut’s Best Duck- pin Men Matched for $200 Purse| What is expected to be one of the big bowling attractions of the season is scheduled to open next Wednesday night at Rogers Recreation Alleys, when Eddie Anderson, the local si meets Joe Harper in the first match of a 15 game series for $100 a side. Little need be said of the prowess of either of these two men. Harper will be remembered for his sterling work in the Connecticut Duckpin tourney last winter, when he finished within the prize money. He is a consistent performer on the alleys. Anderson, is probably bowling better just now than ever before. His recent scores in the New Britain-Waterbury games, were ‘wonderful and his mark of over 45 rolled in the games in this city against the Brass City five, is believed to b= a state record. Anderson will have plenty of backers in the Harper matc and in vew of the fact that the Watec- bury bowling fans never leave home¢ with an empty pocketbook, therc should be pienty doing next Wednes day. In a match game last night at Rogers alleys, the Hartford Opticians defeated the New Britain Opticins’ team three straight games. OPTICIANS.

Saunders Hiltpold Masse: ANKEES’ MANAGER HAPPY BUT CAUTIOUS Huggins Says Second Victory Gives Him More Freedom in Plan- | ning Games. New York, Oct. 7.—“Don’t count your base hits before they are made said Miller Huggins after yesterda game. The Yankee manager, while pleased at the second victory over the Giants, was as cool as if his team had won only an ordinary ball game instead of a world’s series contest. He was jusi as confident as the Yankee players seemed to be that they would take the pennant, but he was cautious in his comment on what was to come today, tomorrow and during the rest of the series. “Winning two games, of course, is quite an advantage In any world's series,”” Huggins said. “I have a little more freedom of action and choice in selecting my pitchers and drawing up my plan of campaign, but the Giants are still in the running. I'm hot for- getting that in the 1917 series, Mc- Graw’s team lost the first two games and then got back on even terms with the White Sox by taking the next two. This may happen in the present series, and again it may not. That's as far as I go as a prophet. “Pitching such as Hoyt showed yes- terday was about as good as any I re- membar in world’s series contests. He got into a number of holes and lost his control slightly on several occasions, but he was good enough to get past the tight places and that is the test of a pitcher. I certainly have nothing to complain about in the pitching line so far, and the Glants have also show- ed slab work that would beat nearly any team except the Yankees as they have played in the first two' games. “The defensive play of the Yankees yesterday pleased me as much as the ‘pitching. McNally, Ward, Peck and Pipp all played up to the hilt every minute and Ward especially had one ot the busiest days of his career. Ruth didn’t have much chance to get in a swing, but played a great game on the bases. The whole team is go- ing along just as I expected it would after the form it showed in the race down the American league stretch.” Jack Ogden’s Supcrb Pitching Evens Up Series Between International and American Association Teams. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 7.—With Jack Ogden, premier hurler of the Inter- natioudl league, pitching a masterly game, Baltimore evened up the series with Louisville, champions of the Am- erican association in the second game of the junior world series yesterday, 2 to. 1. Ogden, who equalled the Interna- tional league record oy winning 32 games this season, was opposed by Ben Tincup, the Indian pitcher, who went through the American association sea- son without a defeat. Ogden got away to a bad start passing the first two men in the first inning, and the bases were filled when Massay was safe on Maisel’s poor throw. Ogden tightened up, however, and got out of danger o score: Baltimore Louisville cens Batteries: Ogden and Meyer. SHAMROCKS HAVE GAME Sunday Afternoon. The Shamrock football eleven will journey to Plainville next Sunday afternoon to play the fast team of tnat town. The Shamrocks will have a number of new faces in the' line- up, including Dudack, a cousin of y Dudack; McCue, Welsh and Jimmy Cosgrove, who returns to the lineup after recovering from an in- jured shoulder. The Shamrocks pin topes in Captain McKeown, Jimmp Hart and Sariskey for a victory Sun- day. The team will asscmble at 10 g'clock Sunday morning al St. Mary's playgrounds for practice. The Sham- rocks will use the following men in Sunday's game: Sariskey, Dowling, McCue, Kas- Ritcher Cosgrove, Daley and Fitzger- Manager Clynes and Coach Har- old Campbell are confident of a vic- tery. 325 CANDIDATES REPORT.

GIANT FRISCH 1S BEST OF BATTERS Leads A Others Thus Far| in Series Babe Ruth has some ideas of his own about what {s news. The most snapped man of the series thought enough pictures of him had been taken vesteray when he was asked to pose for the hundred and first time during the day. Ruth Springs a New One. ‘“Here, why not take a picture of my glove instead,’” said the home run hitter. It was a new idea for the photographer and he complied with Babe holding up the Inside of his out- flelder’'s mitt close to the lens. The glove is far from handsome. It is an old one, black and greasy, with a hole in the middle of the padding in the palm of it. But Ruth ‘likes it and wouldn’t trade for the best new glove on the market. Mays and Hoyt, the two winning Yank pitchers are tied for first place in their club’s batting averages. Each has one hit to his credit for an average of .333. Ward and McNally, with two each, are tied for seccnd place with .286. In contrast to the Yank pitchers, batting averages is that of the Giants twirlers, Douglas and Nehf, neither of whom has made a hit.: Frisch tops the players of both teams in hitting— five hits out of eight times up—.625 average. Altrock to Amuse. Nick Altrock., famous comedian of thn Washington Americans believes the ceries is too serious. He is going to put some comedy into it today. ‘With Al Schacht also of Washington, Nick will stage his entire repertoire of funny antics on the side lines.be- fore today's game. . “They'rd all friends 6f mine,” de- clared the baseball gcomedian when asked his opinion of the outcome of the series. % Fifty-five baseballs were used in the second game. Out of five dozen brand new ones, furnished by the Yanks, as it was their day “at home’ the um- pires saved five to use in early batting practice today. The balls for today’s game will be furnished byv the Giants. When George Burns was called out while trying to steal second in the cighth, he sat on the bag for,a minute or two looking at the umpire. If he said anything to thar official the lat- ter kept it to himself. Ruth Daring on Bases. Ruth aroused the spectators in the fifth when affer drawing a pass he stole second and on tae next ball pitch- ed, dashed for third. beating Smith's throw to Frisch. Meusel's steal of home in the cighth was executed after the manner of Mike McNally's theft in the first game. Aaron Ward and Captain Peckin- pangh performed as brilliantly afield as they did in th» opener Ward fig- ured in no less than nine plays with out a hobble and: Peck was at one end of ‘a number of brilliant plays. Artie Nehf hurled excellently the Giants. allowing only 3 hits, he was wild. issning many passes. Bob Meugel tipped off everybody inclnding the Giants catcher—that he was going to steal home in the inning yesterday. Meusel and Catcher Smith had a lit- tle altercation when the former went to bat and Meusel ended by telline Smith to “watch for me when I get around-to third.’* After hitting safely for hut and Being advanced to third Meusel decided to make the threat good. “I told Fewster (coaching at third) to tell them I was coming in,” Meusel sald. The coacher wigwagged to the Yank bench and even ran up to whis- per something in the ear of Ward at bat. Then having imparted all. this information, Meusel tore home as Nehf wound up for, the pitch, Smith muffed the throw—a passed ball. But the stolen base counted and so did the score. Incidentally Bob has the advantage of one hit over his brother Emil of the Giants in thelr Thanksgiving dinner “series.”” Emil proposed to his young- er brother that the one' making the least hits in the series foot the bill for the dinner for the whole Meusel fam- ily. Bob's hit yesterday puts him one ahead of'Emil. “There’s nothing toit, its a cinch,” was Babe Ruth’s comment after the game. He didn't do much with the bat, mostly because he didn’t have a chance. He walked to first three times, but he did steal two bases; sec- ond and third, all in the same inning —the fifth—and nearly all in the same moment. Mike McNally, base stealing hero of the first game showed what he could do in the field yesterday. His two chances, both hit at exceedingly fast clips, were handled cleanly, one of them starting a double play. Besides pitching well, Waite Hoyt exhibited a good hook slide. ~ After his hit in the third inning, Nehf tried several times#to nip his rival off first but ths Yank twirler got back to first each time with a finely executed Ty Cobb slide. NWGRAW PINS FAITH IN FRED TONEY Giants, With Their Backs to Wall, Are Full of Fight . New York, Oct. 7.—Behind their third pitching ace, Fred Toney. who hails from the hills of Tennessee, Joan McGraw's Giants will'attempt today 1o scuttle the boat in which the Yanks have chugged two knots toward the world’s series triumph. Though held scoreless througl two games, 18 innings of nerve-rack- ing bascball, by the great twirling part of the Americans—Mays and Hoyt—- McGraw’s heartics have by no means given up hope. As exemplified in thel: regular season of games they fight L the last ditch and they are determined to throw off the jinx that has dimmed their batting eve. The Giants have been following the safe and sane idea in the first two games of the serics but they will be out today to try 'nsational. “We've got to take some chances” declared Assist. Manager Hughey Jennings “We took them during the regular scason and turncd many a defeat into victory. Against such-pitching as w have faced thus far there'is no oth~: alternative. We've’ got some ideas along that line and maybe they'll erni- 'iven our boys a bit.” Looks Like Shawkey Today Bob Shawkey whose queer, closed hopping walk and red flannel under- <leeves have been seen in other world's series, is most likely to be on the mound today for the Yanks. Bob had a bad spell in the latter part of the season and was clouted right mer- rily by opposing batsmen but he found himself before the pennant scramble was over. Shawkey has great speed. When he is in form he is regarded as one of the finest twirlers in ecither league, rank- ing ‘along with Alexander, Faber Shocker, Adams, Mays, Hoyt,. Toney and Nehf. Backstop Work is Poor Neither of the Giants’ catchers, Sny- der and Smith have displayed so far any of the stérling backstop qualities with which they had been credited. Both have been weak at bat and short in the field end. In yesterday’s game Smith made a bad muff on Nehf's heave when Meusel was stealing home. He could have caught Bob easily. He also made a -throw to second when Ruth pilfered and was slow in sending the ball to Frisch when the Babe stole third. McGraw is expected to switch back to Snyder today. He has Gonzales'and Gaston in the second string and might call on one of them if Snyder contin- ues weak. # Litte Wallie Schang, while short in the batting department has performed admirably behin® ‘W niate for the Yanks and so far his work has sur- passed that of either of his highly rated opponents. 5 De Vormer the substitute Yankee catcher played brilliantly in some late season games, but it is not likely that he will get a chance to play in this series, unless Schang falters or is hurt. The Giants will. be the home club today and will switch back to their white uniforms while Huggins' clan will done their visiting gray’ and sit in the aliens’ dugout. Frisch Goine Finely Yesterday's game was all Hoyt. Waite's curve, his slow ball and his fast breaking drop behaved themselves admirably, and the boy twirler from Brooklyn borough let'the Giants down with two hits, one of the ~greatest pitching feats in world series history not a Giant occupied the second sack until the ninth inning and that Giaat happened to be Frankie Frisch who WE WILL WIN YET M’GRAW' DECLARES Giants Boss Expects to be Tied With Yanks Before Sunday’s Game. New York, Oct. 7.—“A two-game lead is a big handicap in a short serics, but it does not mean that the fight for the world's series is over,” said John McGraw, manager of the Giants, yesterday afternoon after the game. “The second game was similar to-the first, inasmuch as we were un- able to hit HoVt's pitching. and, as 1 said yesterday, when a club can't hit it can't hope to win ball games, “I am anything but discouraged Nor do the Giant players feel that they cannot overcome the Yankees' lead and still grab the long-end. of the se- ries. The Giants will never concede the world’s title to the Yankees until the matter has been definitely settlod on tho playing field. I still believe tbat we will pull through and the players are of the same opinion. “Of course. when a team isn't hit- ting it looks bad Any team that is losing looks bad. but don’t forget that a lot of people had us counted out of the National lcague race when we were seven and a half games behind the Pirates, but we came through didn't we? That's the kind of a firht. ing ball club the Giants are. They are never licked until they have taken the full count. “Hoyt had a lot of stuft on the ball He had a deceptive curve and plenty of smoke on his fast one with a good change of pace. The Yankees have Been accorded excellent pitching in both games thus far. Mays and Hoyt have been at their best. Furthermore, both of these pitchers have been ac- carded excellent support and. without wishing to detract in the least from the credit that is due the Yankecs. it must Dbe admitted that they have been get- ting the breaks. “T am sure that the Giants will get busy today and I think we will go intc Sunday’s game with the series tied up. In other words, I believe we will win today and tomorrow and that will mean that the geries will virtually, be starting all over again.’ MAKES NEW RECORD.
