World Series as Member of New York Giants New York, Oct. 4.—After nine AIN long years, two of which were spent in ac- tive service in the world war, Gowdy, outstanding player In briefest world series in baseball Hank the his- tory, bobs up as a prospective hero of another title deciding tournament. In 1914 Hammering Hank, as he then was called, was a member of the Boston Braves—that precedent wr ing outfit which jumped from the tional league cellar in late July of ock- Na- that year and continued to jump until it gained the National league roof, then proceeded to capture the w championship by defeating Mack's Athletics In four and vorld Connie straight NCH-BURMAN GO0 1Y SET FOR THE I9TH Yery Inconsistent Fighter Cleveland, Oct, 4.—Joe Lyneh, prob- | ably the most inconsistent performer | |in the iMstory of modern boxing, has | | come up for air again, | The distinguished New York truck driver is to defend his bantamweight title against Joe Burman of Chicage at Mr, Rickard's exclusive metropoli- | tan arena October 19, the date having been put back one week, On which occasion Lynch may be oxpected to do one of two things: (1) thrill the customars to the roots of their toupees, or (2) bore them to a state of extreme somnolence, | In Burman he will be mgeting a | battler of great skill, experience and courage and he will have to be at his | best to win, Lyneh, at his best, I probably the greatest bantam sinee | | Jimmy Barry's time, He has speed, | | boxing abllity, footwork, generalship | and the fghting dnstinct. | | Has o Weak Left | No litlle puncher ever brought a better right hand to the game than the New York boy's crossing punch. | Curlously, this gight hand Is responsi- | ! ble for the only noticeable defect in | | his make-up—a comparatively in-| | fortor left.

JThat he Isn't is due to an abhorrence to camp routine, a dis- inclination to train regularly and| thoroughly. Lynch has a way of saying to him- | self: “This bird is casy. Why work“ | for him." | Sometimes the bird is, and some- Very Inconsistent. | Lynch's record is replete with in- consistent performances. Lynch first attracted big league notice by putting up a thrilling fight against Jimmy Wilde in London in 1919. A couple of months later he came back home and was seAt against Joe Fox in Jersey City. This looked casy for the youth who had starred against ‘Wilde, but Fox beat him all the way and al- most scored a knockout. Then came the fight with Jack Sharkey in Madison Square Garden, the most colorful fight in the history of the bantamweight division. Shar- key came in overweight, rushed the slender Lynch from the start, Bl‘ll scored two quick knockdowns. Thoroughly game, Lynch rallied and pounded Sharkey into submission. LEAD LEAGUES Cinelonatl, Oet, 4. —~When the final figures are posted it will be seen that Ohio, state of presidents and beauly queens, league hurlers in both leagues, Adelfe Luque of Cinelnnati, with 27 vietories, is the National League leader, with no one close eneugh to threaten his supremacy, George U'hle of Cleveland, with 25 ADOLFE LUQUE victories, is almost equally secure in his position atop the American League list, In winning 27 games for the Red this year the veteran Cuban surpassed by two the leading total of 1922 set|, GEORGE UHLE by his team mate Eppa Rixey, will furnish the leading big | RED’ STAR HURLER PICKS WGRAWMEN Bppa Rixey Thinks Giats Wil wou ) npoom 15 SETBY | Columbia, Win Series KY EPPA RIXEY To start with, T piek the Giants to third from league thus win their champlonship Amherican sories and straight world |their home town rivals, I do not think the Glants again Will win the series in stralght games as they did last year because the Yan- kees have a better pitehing staff, or rather arh getting better pitching |than last year, and also have profited | by their experience of 1023 | “They also will enter the series | tresher than the Giants who will have little time to recuperate from their bard pennant fight, This year's series, 1 believe, will last at least six games, On the face of things the Yankees have better pitching than the Glants, But the Glant pitchers don’t run to torm, especially If their form appears weak, John McGraw's pitchers have a way of rising to the emergency and deliv. cring the goods in a pinch. So has his whole ball club, That's the main reason why I pick them to rétain their championship. Strong On Defense Behind his pitching staff McGraw has a team that is great offensively and defensively. Individually his n is strong. Collectively it Is a onger beeause the @lants have per- ‘ccted their team work to the highest degree. They also are strong in their sub- stitutes as was proved when Bancroft and Groh were disabled. They can, i neceseary, take the field with a reg- ular or two missing and still present a championship team. This may be true of the Yankees, also, but T doubt it. The Giants have shown me this sea- son there is no type of pitehing against which they are weak. They Imay he stopped for a day, but they will come back and make up for it the next, The Giants have gone through two or three bad slumps this year. Sev- eral times the Reds were right at their licels, ready to overtake them, but we never got into the lead because the Giants always regained their stride just in time to save themselves. In a pinch McGraw's club can be depended npon to come through and, since the world series is the biggest pinch of all, I do not expect them to slump in these games with the Yankees. heat the Yankees in the 1923 world | | | | MERRIMAN AT LEXINGTON ,...‘"‘ Driven by Thomas W, Murphy, Goes In 210134 Driver Ruthers ford Taken Down, Lexington, Ky, Oct, 4-—Merriman, driven by Thomas W, Murphy, wen the Cumberland Btake, feature of yes- terday's Grand Cireuit card, elipping @ quarter second from his own werld record, for four-year-old geldings of 21014, The 2:11 trot went to Alisal after four heats.

His most bril- lant effort was a 60-yard run back of a kick for a touchdown. This touch- down was the only one made against the scrubs, who would have held the regulars to a tie If it had nob been for a 26-yard drop kick made by Joc McGlone late in the scrime mage.

The first was a 20-yard run by Dick Newby, after he and Beattle had alternated at taking the ball down the field, and the second, went to the credit of Fos- ter, who plunged through the scrub ling for the final three yards.

Several months later the two were rematched. Lynch was a heavy favorite. On form he figured to win hands down. It was known that Her- man's eyes were failing him, and the oxperts still remembereg how easily Lynch had won the first bout. How could he lose? Well, he did lose and in losing he looked the part of an un- kempt ham-and-egger. That is Lynch for you.

AND You JusT HAVE To MEET HIM IN TS HoTeL LOBBY BECAUSE IT 1S THE MOST CONVENIENT games. Early this season Hank became the rroperty of the Giants, coming from the Braves to New York with Pitcher | Jack Watson in exchange for Earl Smith and Jess Barnes, As a Giant he will gain his second opportunity to figure in an all im- portant series contest. Hank was a conspicuous figure in Braves history of 1914, both during the league season and the world series, He has been a very helpful member of the Giants this year and Giant rooters expect him to shine with equal or greater brilliance in the ap- proaching battles with the Yanks.

It 18 interesting to note that in physical build the two pitching pre- miers of the waning season are to- tally unalike. Luque is short and stocky. Uhle is tall and rather heavily built. TLuque is 33 years old. Uhle is approaching 27. Luque is a curve ball pitcher, with tidy speed and a good bean on his shoulders Uhle has one of the best knuckle balls in captivity. McGraw Too Clever Back of the entire Giant team is John McGraw, a man without a peer at directing a ball club or driving his players on to victory. His hand was plainly visible in the last two series with the Yankees agd I think it will be evident again this fall, spurring his men on. Individually, Babe Ruth is, T be- lieve, the greatest player who will ap- pear in the series. Ruth has had a wonderful season in all departments of the ‘gam He has learncd the lesson of keephg his mind on his job. T look for him to do some wonderful playing and live up to the honor re- cently conferred upon him as the most valuable player in his league.
