By The Aesoclated Press, 4 Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 11.— Stunned into late sleeping, perhaps by the thrills of yesterday’s eplc game, which the lvy-draped Casey Stengel won for the New York Natlonals with a ninth inning home run, Gotham's jaded baseball fans arrived slowly at the Polo Grounds today for the sec- ond encounter between the champions of the two major baschall leagues for the world’s title. The baseball bug who scoffs at the league games and hites only on ‘world series bait got a surprise when he came into the IAstoric old arena, for, as the saying goes. "it ain't what it used to be." Grounds Are ’Imnzed Since last year the, outfield bleach- ers have been wiped out almost com- 1letely and the double decked grand- stand extended until it forms almost a ecomplete cnclosure with a small horseshoe opening, broken in the cen- ter by the eleetric scorcboard. In this cheese box-—or perhaps it more regembles a carton of, Pittshurgh stogies—5,000 fans who had to get up early or watch the game downtown on an electric scoreboard were pa- fiently seated when the brass band, looking a bit hleary-eyed, trudged on- 1o the field, dragging its heavy instru- ments. Those who did not sleep last night were kept awake, and those who did, were put to slecp with a soothing melody that sounded like distant cannonading. Crowd Acts Lazy The carly fans filed into the park urely dropped into con- drawing their hats Ylown to keep out the half light that seeped through the murk under the shoulder of Coogan's Bluff, There were occasional sounds of revelry when Nick Altrock and Al Schacht the buffoons of baseball did their stuff. The comedians gave a new touch today, a double barreled argument with an imaginary umpire in the direction of whose phantom presence they threw clouds of dust and then imagined themselves chased from the park, A five year old boy aided the act. Advance guards from the two teams came onto the fleld almost simultan- equsly but there was hardly a ripple from the crowd. ¥ Ruth Swings His Bat Tooking jaunty and full of fight it wouldn't have been guessed that the Yankees had lost the opening game yesterday. Babe Ruth, one of thq first on the fleld swung his trusty bludgeon on the side lines while Cosey Dolan gave the Giant recruits some batting practice on the dlamond. The Giants were given a long bat- | ting practice against the southpaw “Dinty” Gearin, They evidently ex- pected to face Pennock and were get- ting their sights in order. The Yankees tried out the Polo Ground ranges against a left hander, Bern iShields, who came to the Yanks from* Charlotte, N. C. The two clubs put on a flelding workout. The sky became overcast rear game time and the half light gave the rival managers opportunity to send speed ball pitchers to the hurN‘g hill. First Inning. Yanks—Witt up. Irisch tossed out 'Witt. Dugan walked on four straight balls. Ruth walked, and the crowd howled. Meusel hit into a double play, Baneroft to Frisch to Kelly, No runs, no hits, no errors. Giants—Scott threw out Bancroft. Pennock took Groh's splash and threw him out. Ward .robbed ¥risch of a hit with a one-hand stop and a auick throw to first. No runs, no hits, no errors. Second Inning Yanks: Pipp, the first man up, lined A slzzling grounder down the third base line which Groh gobbled up. He threw out the runner at first. Ward %ot a rousing cheer as he went to bat, the fans appreciating his fine work in the field the previous inning. The snappy s | THE MIGHTY BABE OUT AT HOME | This shows how Babe Ruth lost a big chance to score what would have been a valuable run | r the Yankees by failing to slide into the plate in the fifth inning of the first game.

A great peg by Frisch to Snyder doubled Ruth. Billy Evans is the umpire. ‘Yankee second basemon responded even as did Casey Stengel yesterday, for he leaned hard against one of Mc- Quillan’s fast hooks and the ball shot oft with speed of a bullet, rising into the air like a line drive. It did not stop until it landed into the upper tier of the left field stand and by that time the second sacker was ripping down the home stretch for the first homer .and the first score of the game. Schang flled out to Snyder and Scott filed out to Meusel. One run, 1 hit, no errors. Glants: This inning was one of thrills. Young hit a pop fly to Dugan and was out, but Emil Meusel, waving his hand to his brother Bob in the Yankee outfield, stepped to the plate swinging his heavy bat. Pennock was putting everything he had onto the ball and it was zipping across the plate like greased lightning. Meusel swung his big stick, there was a re- sounding crack and again the white sphere was driven with terrific force into the left field stands, Meusel cross- ing the plate with the second homer of the game and the tying run while the vast crowd went wild with cheer- ing. Cunningham flled out to Babe Ruth, who made a neat catch, and Kelly singled into right field but the possibility of another tally was killed when Snyder sent up a high infleld fly which Ward took. One run, two hits, no errors. Third Inning Yanks: Frisch tossed out Pennock. Frisch also got Witt at first. Dugan flied out to Meusel. No runs, no hits, no errors. Giants: Dugan made a wonderful play of McQuillan's roller and threw him out. Bancroft flied to Meusel. Groh got a base on balls. Frisch singled into center field, Groh holding second. Young lined to Ruth. No runs, one hit, no errors. TFourth Inning Yanks—Babe Ruth wgs given a rousing cheer as he took his position at the plate, the first man up. He was swinging his big black bat viei- ously and when McQuillan steamed over one that he thought would fool him, Bambino let drive with all his might. The impact of bat against ball was terrific and heard in all cor- ners of the field. The ball soared high in the'air and went over the right field stands for the third homer of the game and Ruth’s first circuit clout of the present series. The fans cheered wildly as the Bambino lop- ped around the sacks and then cross- ed the platter with the run that put his team one to the good. Meusel fanned. Pipp singled into right. Ward popped to Kelly, Schang shot a hot single into right, Pipp go- ing to third. Young juggled the ball and got an error on the play. Pipp scored on Scott's single to ecenter, Schang going to second. McQuillan was knocked out of the box at this stage and Bentley went in the box. Pennock was hit by a pitched ball. He fell to the ground, his face con- torted with pain and the players of both clubs gathered around him. The crowd cheered when he rose to his feet and limped to first base. The bases were filled. Witt flled out to Cunningham. 2 runs, 4 hits, 1 error. Giants—Ward threw out Meusel. Cunningham flied out to Ruth. Kelly whiffed. No runs, no hits, no errors. Fifth Inning In the fifth inning Babe Ruth, sec- ond man up, got another home run into the left field stands, making the score at this point 4-1 for the Yanks.

STARVATION STORY Family Referred to by Al- derman Gill Taken Care of, He Says Refuting statements of John F. Gill that a certain he had reported to the partment was in a starving conditioii while the board of charities was sav- ing $10,000 to report back at the end of the fiscal year, Superintendent of Charities W. C. Cowlishaw this morn- ing praduced receipted bills and more than a dozen duplicates of letters sent out in the interests of the family in question, as well as a complete his- tory from the time of the first report, all of which indicated that consider- able time and much money had been devoted to the family’s comfort. The alderman’s statement was made in the course of a debate on the award of contracts for a new town home, at a special council last night. He charged that it was not right to save money while children were starving and cited an instance when he claimed to have re ported a family under such condition: and that relief was not: afforded. Superintendent Cowlishaw’s records show that rent was paid to keep this family in its home, which is in the northwestern section’of the city; that shoes had been purchased, as muclf family as $20 being paid in one bill for this | clothing had item; that food and Britain been furnished by the Welfare association, and were paid by the same agency, that ‘the charity superintendent, to save the family from suffering one night had gone to the home after 9 o'clock and with his own car trans- ferred the children to the town home.

He asserted today that on his numerous investigating trips he found that the family always had more then enough food clothing.
