L i ONE §ORE FOR GREYWORTHY Sanford Small’s Horse Defeats Peri- scope, Peter Coley and Sister Bertha at Lexington Track.

Greyworthy was hard pushed in tho stretch in the first heat after Cox, who handled the reina on the grey gelding, had eased him’up slightly, but tha winner managed to steal off tho be- lated rush of Periscope and went un- der the wire with a slight lead over $ha mare. T \ In the second heat Peter Coley, which had finished fourth in thae first heat, turnished most of the contention, forcing Greyworthy to trot tho mile in 2:03 1.2, the best time of tha after- noon. Periscope was placed second in the summaries, while third place went to Peter Coley. The 2:13 pace, the fourth race on the program, resulted in a bitter four heat struggle in which Queen Abbe, after finishing second in tha first two heats, came back and captured tha third and fourth heats. The first heat went to Tony Mac while Abbe Dale got tha decision in the second. The other events on the program, the Tennesse for three-year-old pac- ers, and the 2:08, went to Pelmar and Peter Daw, making it a double on the meeting for the latter.

But they will have to break themselves of the habit of getting whipped by Waite Hoyt, the amazing young man who earns his living pitching for the Yanks. Twice already he was outwitted the McGraw ment permitting them no runs the first time and only one score last Monday. Nehf and Hoyt Artie Nehf left handed, but trust- worthy, probably will pitch for the Giants. He was their flinger on both other days when Hoyt worked and the pitched well. His main trouble being the fajlure of his colleagues to render substgntial encouragement with their bats. The Giants moved to within one game of baseball’s highest honors yésterday afternoon when, Shufflin Douglas obtained 2 to 1 victory aver Carl Mays who pitches like a ten pin player but gets there just the same. This victory was the fourth of the series for the Giants. The Yanks have ‘won three. It was the first time since the Vendetta began at the FPolo Grounds last gveek that the Giants pranced Ehefl{of the Huggins pack. Also it was thé fourth triumph for the National Leaguers in the games. If the Giants win today the cham- pionship is theirs while the Yanks to wear the crown must' go forward this afternoon and repeat in the game that would follow. It is no secret that they now tenant an uneviable position sometimes described as having their backs to the wall. For the present they can hitch their wagon to Waite Hoyt. But one star cannot pull a team around every day, at least not in baseball and the Yank supply is limited compared to Me- Graw’s constellation. Mays is the only other boxman who has shown a capa- city to befuddle the Giant batsmen. McGraw has Slim Sallee, Pat Shea and Jess Barnes to pitch against the Yanks in a ninth game. Stars Out of Game The Yanks begin the eighth battle still berett of their most powerful of- fensive weapon, the 'incomparable Babe Ruth. His sundry sore spots compel him to refrain from the com- bat. And it may be they will have to get along without McNally, a fast young third baseman. His shoulder was hurt yesterday in sliding to second base and he had to retire. Frank Baker replaced McNally and got two hits, but the veteran has not thc speed of the youth nor equal agility in the fleld. i People who believe in the exist- ence the fate and the finger of destiny which confpose the battery of the goods came right out today and said the Giants were sure to win the cham- pionship. They declared that the “breaks” looked for in every sport- ing test to point to the ultimate winner came yesterday and indicated that the goose of the Yanks was in the ice box and soon .would be cooked. Fate picked'out the seventh inning to do the Yanks a mean trick. There is a cult of fans and writers which sternly holds the seventh to be lucky thin~ almast aPb transpire and that usually they Te dound to the greater glory of the home team. The Giants were the hom~ team yesterday. They wore white uni- forms while the Yanks made believe they were out in the country and had on their darker working clothes. When the Break Came The afore mentioned cult joined the “I told you so™ club last night. They had been Mays and Douglas battling along evenly into the seventh inning when with two men gone Rawlings got to first on a hard roller thet Ward muffed. ‘“Well there's the break” one heard folks all around remarking while Ward was thinking = unkind things of his luck. And sure enough the break had come. Refore one could say Jack Robinson more than half a dozen times, this Rawlings person crossed the plate with the run that last five won the game. He had been sent around the bases by Snyder's twq base blow into cénter field that Miller and Fewster had a hard time picking out of the grass. HOLY CROSS WINS Bruissard’s Great Work Features Vic- tory for Purple Over Springfleld Y. M, C. A, in Holiday Game. Springfleld, Mass., Oct. 13.—Holy Cross defeated Springfleld College, 12 to 0, on Pratt Ficld yesterday in a game featured by the work of Bruissard, who took Gagnon’s place at left halfback for the Worcester' team_ Al the scor- ing was done in the second and third periods. Holy Cross’s touehdown was made by Riopel, Following a kick by Caviletto of Springfield on his own team’s 20-yard line, Holy Cross took the ball over on line bucks and short end runs. Shortly afterward Civiletto attempted a forward pass on the fourth down. It fafled. After two attempts by Holy Cross to run th€ ball Bruissard kicked a perfect field geal. In the third period Civiletto’s attempt to punt from behind hig own goal line resulted in a safety for Holy Cross. 0Sfi OUT OF OHIC GAME.

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.—Miss Cecil Leitch, British and Canadian woman golf champion, yesterday was defeated in the first round of play for the-Berth ellyn cup at the Huntington Valley Country club going down before the perfect driving of Miss Glenna Collett, of Providence, 1 up, It was the second time since her ar- rival in the United States that. the British ace was bettered in match play, her first setback having occurred a week ago today when Mrs, Fred C. Letts, Jr., eliminated her from the na- tional tournament at Hollywood, N. J. Miss Leitch’s loss today also marked the first time she has been put out of a tournament in the first round since she first came into prominence as a golfer, eight years ago. Miss Collett not only outdrove her op- ponent but had better iron shots. In her anxiety to even up on distance, Miss SERIES RECEIPTS TOTAL $80478 New Record Mar_l(_I§ Established in 1924 Games e New York, Oct. 13. — All"'World’s Series records for gross receipts were smashed into tiny bits at the Polo Grounds yesterday when the total for seyen games reached the towering sum of $804,781. The previous record was $722,414 for eight games' played between the Cincinnati Reds and the/ Chicago ‘White Sox in 1919. This means that the new high wat- er mark is $82,367 and one full game better than the old record. When the returns are all in for the eight, and possibly deciding game this afternoon, the total will be fully $920,- 000, just short of that longed dreamed of “$1,000,000 gate.” If the Ygnkees win this afternoon and again even the series the ninth game tomorrow will: carry the total well over $1,000,000. .Already the total is almost twelve times as great as that in 1905, when the Giants beat the Philadelphia Ath- letics in the first series played under the rules of the old National com- mission. New attendance figures will be set up thia afternoon. When the Boston Red Sox and New York Giants played eight games in 1912, 251,901 fans paid to see those bitter struggles. This has been the high water, mark. The attendance for seven games of the present series has been 244,566, only 7,335 short of the record. If 35,000 go to the Polo Grounds this afternoon the new record will stand at 280,000 in round numbers. ¥t a ninth game is necessary the total ‘will ;g0 over 300,000. These figures indicate, if nothing else, the popularity of baseball and the remarkable interest in the strug- Ele between the Giants and the Yan- kees for the bassball championship of the well known universe.
