Speaking of Sports Mister Casey Stengel, the - silent Glant outfielder, now tukes his place in the baseball hall of fame, a result of his winning the first game of the series with & homer, Stengel was hever pieked by the advance dopesters as & coming hero, Far from it, A But Baseball's Child of Mistortune came into his own yesterday, Battered from pillar to post; cast from the doorstep of Charles H. Bb- hats, turned Fhiladelphia, erowned his fading career-—-and a mighty honorable career—by winning & World series game with a home run in the ninth inning. o - Thirty-four years old, a veteran of “Casey" yesterday attained “Casey” came to the Giants three years ago, He was tossed In as “boot" to a trade when McGraw wanted an infielder to tuke the place of Goldle Rapp, who was a fallure at third buse, He took Johnny Rawlings from the Phillies, gave up Rapp and Curtls Walker, and Stengel was thrown in to make the trade even. Frisch was shifted to third base, and Btengel got little chance to play dur- ing the season. He was In only twen- ty-one games, But Stengel was always ready to help, always ready to hustle, When Ralph Shinners failed two years ago Casey stepped Into the breach. When Jimmy O'Connell falled this year he stepped in again. He divides the 'work in penter fleld with Bill Cun. ningham, who likes to hit against left- handers. Casey is a great man to lead a forlorn hope for he is always fghting and he led a profitable one or John J. McGraw and the rest of he Giants yesterday. Lawyer Willlam P. Mangan, who sti]] gives baseball a little the edge over golf, made the distance from [Central Park to the railroad station in npthing plus this morning.

Merkie Jacobson had a bad day with the stock yesterday, failing to onnect in five trips. He had one put- out. Hrere's what the Bambino did yes- erday: First inning, Ruth hit to Groh, forcing! Dugan at- second, and then scored on Bob Meusel's double; third nning, Ruth flled to E. Meusel; fifth nning, Ruth tripled and then was aught at the plate trying to score on short fly to Frisch; seventh inning, [Ruth grqunded to Kelly, who threw uome, nailing Dugan, who had tripled. The odds now have shifted to 7 0 5 on the Giants to win, Stafford Springs race track judges ned Frank Squires of Hartford $100 yesterday for failing to win the 2:20 pace. Also, he was suspended for a jear. They claim he obvijously held he horse back. % Yesterday was a great day for the ational Léague. The Cubs also took he first game frogh the Chisox, 8-4 hen Robertson failed to hold the Na- ionals. i Holy Cross grads and fans will re oice in reading that several former ‘orcester collegians are in the series. ‘red Maguire of the Giants is only hbway from Holy Cross a couple of bears while his teammate ‘Rosy” yan dates back about six years to is graduation from the Worcester ollege. Joe Dugan, the New Haven boy now featured with the Yankees, as been away from Holy Cross about our years. Here's what Bullet Joe Bush sald after Stenge! knooked his offering for the famous homer; “I gave y & high fast Dall and he crashed It good and plesty. You know, the count was twe and three and the ball he Wt T threw Just as hard as | could to the plate, I hope for better luck next timse, “Slengel's home run wes & real one, but I think O'Day made a mistake when he called me out at first in the ninth inning. Mike MeNally, who was coaching there, sald that I beat the ball to the bag. 1 am sure that I step. ped on the bag before the ball reach. ed Kelly's glove" Bill Ryan sald when the excitement died down: breath when Meuse! “I took & caught Dugen's fly in the ninth, “It was & great game to win and even when I was in treuble I knew that the other players would pull me through. It's great to be pitehing with a team like the Glants behind you" Pitcher John Beott's 71 year old father came all the way from down #0uth to see the series, and sat along- #ide Kenesaw Mountain Landis, base- ball commiasioner general. Old Amos Rusle, & Glant of years gone by, had to stay at the Pool Grounds all day, but heard the result over the telephone. Rusie is day watchman at the Giants' grounds. Jack Hendricks, manager of the In- dianapolis American assoclation club, who has watched every world series since Christy Mathewson was a rookle, declared it was the most thrilling game he ever had seen.

Some close matches were expected for the draw brought together several of the most prominent players. POND'S RUNNING S FEATURE AT YALE (Continued from Preceding Page) rapid strides in his preparation for Boston University this coming Satur- day. Already the first string men are showing their real capabllities. Fallon replaced Dooley at quarter of Team A for a few minutes, while Hall and Kelley alterngted at right haltback. Loomis and Murphy took Larry Leavitt's place at fyll after the Quincy lad had pounded the second team forward line for gain after gain. Team B after its 16 minutes’ serim- mage with the varsity took on team C for 35 gruelling minutes of play, from which the latter eleven easily emerged to victory. Coach Hawley has stressed a defense for the over- head game which B. U. is expected to use and hopes to have the men ‘well enough versed in breaking up forwards to take care of anything the visitors may see fit to try. West Point Ready West Point, N. Y., Oct. 11.—Army continued its heavy drive yesterday on the way to the Notre' Dame battle, A drizzling rain fell throughout most of the practice which Jasted fer over two hours, but there was no sign of fum- bling or loose handling of the ball. The scrub armed with the Hooslers plays again executed them with tell- ing effect but the big team unlim- bered a heavy attack when its turn came in the offensive drill and the re- serves were/unable te stop Gilmore or Ives, the varsity's chief ball carriers. Tiny Hewitt was eut but was used only in the signal drill. Wood was back in the kicking drill. Drills Harvard Hard. Catvhgidge, Mass, Oct. 11.—The hardes age of the year was held by t rd varsity squad vesterday afterneon. Coach Fisher sent his men through twe and a half hours of hard work with the varsity defeating the seconds 6 to 0. Jack Hammond yesterday declared officially off probation was responsible for the varsity's lone touchdown. He made a 25-yard run to the scrubs’ 10-yard line and Ceburn went over for the touchdown. A new drop-kick- er was found yesterday when Akers missed one of six trials from the 26- yard line. Team A lined up as follows yester- day: Hill and Evans, ends; Dunker .

In their half of the ninth the Yen- kees went out in order. Other Thrilling Plays Untll the eventful moment when Casey walloped the ball there had been all corts of thrilling playa In the firsi place the Yankees, with young Wujte Hoyt pitehing, had gone right out in the first two innings and collected thres runs oft John Watson, one of MeGraw's right handed pitch- ers. Then the third, and the Gilants on top. Kelly started the inning with a single to center and Cold Hank Gowdy worked Hoyt for a base on balls. Boss McGraw on the dugout bench, started some of his tall think- ing. The first thought was to send Magulre, a youngster, to run for Gowdy and the second was to have Jack Bentley, former Baltimore Oriole to bat for Watson. The second thought was a good one,.for Bentley singled to center, filling the sacks. Gearing was sent in to run for Bent. ley. Bancroft, next up, hit to the in- field and Kelly scored, Gearing being thrown out at second, Mn’ulre sgoing to third. Groh then hit 'for threé bases, scoring Bancroft and Maguire. That tied the score and the Giants took a one run lead when Frankie Frisch singled to right. The Fifth Inning In the fifth inning the Yankees ‘were prevented from tying the score by Frisch on a remarkable play. Ruth had tripled down the left field foul line, with one out and Bob Meusel strode to the plate. Meusel hit a twister to short right. Frisch made a great running catch over his shoulder, wheeled in his tracks and whipped the ball perfectly to the plate, catching Ruth. The score became tled in the seventh when Bugh singled and scor. ed on Dugan’s triple to left, PRINGETON COACH FAGES HARD JoB (Continued From Preceding Page) the ball, men who are schooled to wait for the “break’ and then capitalize it. Roper has a way of appealing to the individuality of the player as dis- tinguished from the highly systematiz- ed mass maneuvers of other coaches. Roper banks heavily on the inspira- tional spark. It is his theory that the inspired scrub will outplay a stodgy star any day in the week, and twice on Saturday aftérnoans. To have the best team {s not important, to play the best game always is. The physical aspects of the Tiger while dark are not utterly discourags ing. Roper has two fine ends in Stout and Drews. The return of Hutan te tackle {s a big help. Huton did not play last year. Hills, a 200.pounder, will probably go to the other tackle. Howard is a guard with experience. Paschal has the inside track for the other guard position. Caldwell, an all- round man, ia fllling the center berth acceptably. The old backfleld is back in action, with the tiny Johnny Gorman, auda- clous hero of the Chicago game last year, still calling signals at quarter. back. Captain Snively, Beattle, New- by and Crum are smashing backs, able defensive workers and smart players. Barring injyries this backfleld, as an effective unit, will rank with the best in the game. Ambitious, hepeful second string- ers abound in the usual numbers. Forrest. Helmrath, Reynolds and Hemminger are capable resepves for the line. Foster, Ewing, Shackelford, Gibson and Legendre, a brother of the former Princeton start, are lurking in the background wishing nobedy ill- luek but hoping a flock of backfield men fall down and bump their beaks.
