New York, Oct. 10 (By the A. P.)— A bunt in a baseball game doesn't hold a candle to 2 home run as a spec- tacular feat, but a little bunt which “Babe” Ruth laid down on the grass at the Polo Grounds today showed how much importance sometimes attaches to the less sensational performance. “Babe’s” home run in the ninth in- ning of Sunday's game was for the Yankees as a team just one more run and nothing more. His bunt in the fourth inning of today’s game, the fifth in the 1921 world's series, proved the turning point of the contest, which was won by the American Leaguers by the score of 3 to 1 over their National League opponents. The victory agdin gave the Yankees the edge in the series, with three vic- torfes against two for the Giants. Waite Hoyt, the boy wonder from the flatbush section of Brooklyn, pitch- ed the Yankees to their third victory in the series, his potent right arm be- ing aided by some great defensive work on the part of his tam-mates. He had been scored upon in the first inning, an error by McNally paving the way to the Giants' only tally, but the Yan- kees tied the score in the third whem McNally was passed by Art Nehf, the Gilants’ crack left hander, went to third on Wally Schang's doubl:, and ame home on Elmer Miller's sacri_ e fly. Ruth’s Bunt a Surprise to start the fourth for the Ruth, who had struck out t time up, did the unexpect- ng and laid down a bant. The Giant infield was completely taken by surprise and Ruth landed safely on t. The way had been opened for vy, and Ruth scored it a mo- m ter on “Bob” Meusci's hot ouble to left, which his brother Emil on the Giant team seemed somewhat in handling. This ultimately prov- ed to be the winning run for the Yan- ces, but another was speedily added Mcusel score; on Aaron Ward's acrifice fl; Then, Tankee: slow wher ded the scoring for the day. i had seemed a bit unsteady early innings, settled down be- s two run lead and pitched a game. He was hit more fre n his shutout game of last Thus- s the ten safeties for the National YANKEES WON FIFTH GAME OF SERIES ‘éfation was performed. another, scoreless game to his cradit with a’little better luck in the first inning. As it was, the Flatbush boy wen the hofior of being the first bokman to win two games in the present series and of helding the heavy hitling men of the McGraw clan to one solitary run in eighteen innings. Bob Meusel’s playing Conspicuous Both on the offensive and defensive gilex of the Yerkees' play, the werk of “Bob" Meusel stood out conspicu- ously. The lanky right fielder hit .500 for the day, with a single and a dou- ble in four times up. It was Meusel's powerful right arm, however, which proved the most teli- ing argument of the game outside of the box work of Hoyt. H: uick throw to first of Bancroft's sirgie in the second, started a run-up on Bancroft during which George Burns, who had started from first on the hit and run, tried to score, but was caught at the plate as Peckinpaugh shifted the play to Burns and threw to Schang. This play saved one tally but at a still more critical point in the game Meusel's deadly aim proved the fac- tor.which broke up a Giant rally and possibly saved the contest for the Yan- kees. It was George Kelly who took chances after singling to right in the eighth with Young on first and one man out. Kelly made a gallant dash for second, but Meusel's throw was there first. One more Giant then had to be attended to to retire the side, and Hoyt induced Emil Meusel to sent up a high foul, which Wallies got close to the boxes after a long run. Ruth Fanned Three Times The crowd of 35,000 which the fine weather and the great interest in the close series had brought out, besides getting a succession of thrills from the tense moments of the game, witness_ ed with mixed emotions “Babe” Ruth striking out three times in four times up, making his total eight strike outs for the five games.

Time of game 1.50, Probable Batteries Today. New York, Oct. 10.—The probable batteries for the sixth game of the wor'd’s series tomorrow are Harper or Shawkey and Schang for the Yankees; Barnes or Toney and Snyder for the Giants. “My men played a good smart game today,” said Manager Huggins of the Yankees, “and when Ruth opened the door of victory in the fourth inning with hi§ bunt they walked right in and sat down. Ruth’s bunt was the turn- ing point in the game. We expect to win tomorrow with either Shawkey, Harper or Quinn in the box. If I se- lect Harper and he has good control, the Giants will find him just as hard to hit as Hoyt.” “My men did not play the game they were capable of playing,” said Manager McGraw of the Giants. “We should have scored a flock of runs in the first inning instead of one. The umpiring was bad. Moriarity called Ruth safe in the fourth inning when he was out by at least a step. Rigler gave us the worst of it when he called Burns out on strikes in the same inning. We'l even up the series tomorrow." “I may send Fred Toney against the Yankees tomorrow. If I don't pitch Toney, Barnes will draw the assign- ment. Barnes pitched great ball the other day.” “Babe” May Play No More in Series. New York, Oct. 10.—Babe Ruth was| ordered not to play in tomorrow’s game by Dr, George W. King, who examined his arm late tonight. “Ruth’s injured arm.” he said, *is in such a condition that he would be taking chances of further injury, possibly of a serious nature, if he were to take part in tomorrow’s contest. The arm is]| swollen considerably from the work to which it was subjected during the after- noon and the wound is draining more than it had been-earlier in the day. It is possible we may have to make still another incision in the injured member. To play while the arm is in its present condition would be to nvite a spread of the infection.” When asked whether his order would prevent Ruth from playing during the remainder of the series, Dr. King said: “It is possible that the injury may take a turn for the better sooner than expected or that the series may be strung out for a‘time. In -either event Ruth may be able to get into the game before the series is over. But as thing stand now his chances of piaying are none too bright. WHITE SOX RETAINED TITLE AS CHICAGO CHAMPIONS Chicago, Oct. 10.—The White Sox re- tained their title as Chicago champions | by defeating the Cubs, 9 to 5 today. It was the fifth consecutive victory for the American Leaguers, the Nationals fail- ing to win a game. The Soux forced Cheeves' rétirement in the fifth imning York's attempt to send .two men home ahead of him, prac- tically cinching the game. The total attendance for the five games was 76,788 and the gross re- ceipts $71,338.18. Of this amount, in round figures, $10,710 will go to the of- fice of the commissioner.

In the sec- ond heat Favonian after leading most of the way, broke shortly before reaching the wire but was straightened out in time to lead his field under the tape. The third heat was easy for Favonian. Wanda May made it a double on the meeting by winning the 2.08 pace in straight heats. The Jack, an added starter in the 2.12 pace, won in straight heats but was forced to take a record of 2.05 to do it.

Under/the rules payers and umpires cease to share in the gate re- ceipts after today’'s game, the fifth of the series. The increased seating ca- pacity and higher admission charges ac- count for the high total. While today's attendance and gate receipts fell slight- ly below those of Friday's game, the of- ficial figures gave 35,758 paid admis- sions for a tota] gate of $116,754. Of this amount the advisory board collect- ed $17,513.10. the Dplayers $590,544.54 and the club owners $39,696.36. The best previous figures for the players' total share were those of the 1919 series between Cincinnati and Chi- cago when the payers' pool amounted to $260,349.66. - While the present se- ries has not as yet evolved a winner and loser, the two local clubs' players wil! divide $219,391.66 on a basis of approx- imately §131,654.97 to the team which finally captures the championship and $87,756.69 to the losers. Subject to Dossible minor correctivns by the advis- ory board accountants, the Cleveland and Pittsburgh payers, in the role of | second place winners, will divide some- thing like $43,878.34 while the two St. Louis teams as third in each pennant race will split $29,252.23. The four um- | pires’ remuneration will be provided from the advisory board's fund upon a basis of a sum equal to one winning and | one losing player's share combined and divided injo four eyual parts.

Only one tie game occurred in the National league the past season. “Babe” Ruth, of the Yankees, set a new American League run scoring re- cord for a season by tallying the enore mous total of 178 runs. Ruth broke his own record, established last year. During the campaign just brought to a close 5 triple plays were exe- cuted, one apeice by the Giants, Car- dinals, Cubs, Braves and the Dodgers.

George Kelly did three times last season what Babe Ruth has yet to do for the Yankees—hit a home run with every base occupied. “Babe” Ruth broke another major record, when he garnered 43 doubles, 16 triples and 59 home runs, for a to- tal of 128 extra base hits. Ruth broke still another batting record this sea- son, when the clouting Bambino, who got 204 hits, flashed a total bases on hits of 456. This stands as the best major league record for all time. George Whitted, of the Pirates, was the only player to score 5 runs in one game, while 4 runs in a game were scored twelve times, two players, Rog- ers Hornsby and Billy ~Southworth, turning this trick twice. Harry Heilmann, of the Tigers, and Johnny Tobin, of the Browns, are in a tie for the most hits, getting 235 apiece. The Pirates returned an odd box score for their hittirig in the game of May 27. The team got 9 hits, one for each player in the line up. Two hundred and forty-four players took part in the contests staged by clubs the eight American League during the campaign just closed. Ed Konetchy got. 8 hits in as many longest streak of consecutive hitting in the times at bat. This is the National League this year. Babe Ruth tops the sluggers with 59 home runs.

Hornsby's batting mark of .398 is the highest percentage attained by a National League batsman since 1899, when “Big Ed” Delhanty, of the Phil- lies, led the National League with a batting average of .408. Since the beginning of the Nation- al League, away back in 1876, only ten league leading hitters have surpassed Hornshy's batting percentage for the season just ended. Sam Rice, of the Harry Heilmann, of the Tigers, pro- duced the longest streak of safe hit- ting in consecutive games, going 23 sames each. ‘The leading three_base hitters in the National League are: Rogers Horns- by, 18; Ray Powell, 18; Ross Young, 17; Frank Frisch, 17; Carson Bigbee, 16; Charles Grimm, 15; George Mai- sel, 15; Dave Bancroft, 14; and Jim- my Johnston, 14. The Senators played the game in the majors this yvear, engag- ing the Browns in contest for 13 in- nings. The Washington Senators staged the longest winning streak of the season, copping 11 games in a row. Joe “Goldie” Rapp, of the Phillies, produced the longest streak of safe hitting in consecutive games when he hit safely in 24 games in a row. The ten leaders of three-baggers in the American League ara: Johnny To- bin, 19; George Sisler, Bob Meusel, Ty Cobb and Howard Shanks are in a tie at 17 apiece; “Babe” Ruth, 15; Tris Speaker, 15; and Bill Jacobson, Sam Rice, Larry Gardner and Jim Dykes are tied with 13 ‘each.

Several had earned on a fifty cent investment as much as two or three dollars, but, one member reached five flollars, while still another earned four dollars. It was interesting to hear how this money was earned and which is to be used for such a worthy and urgent cause. The treasurer, Mrs. Herbert L. Yerrington announced that the proceed were nearly sixty dollars and a possibili- ty that there was more to be handed in.

Rev. and Mrs, Fairbanks have a company of boy and girl scouts under their supervi- sion and many enjoyable outings are ar- ranged, with hikes and a stop to cook supper In the open before returning home. Sunday school classes are fre- quently giving suppers one for each other, and sales- of various kinds are held to raise. money. Rev. and Mrs. Fairbanks possess an excellent education and be- cause of this and with their hearts and souls in their work, they have qualified most _successfull. At the present time money is being raised for a new church as the one now in use is too small to answer necessary requirements. The ex- ercises held in Children’s day, Christmas and Easter are looked forward to with much’ pleasure, ard often the church be- ing filled to its capacity, many are oblig- ed to stand outside. Generally Monday of each week is sec aside P recreation, relaxtion, reading, etc., and is called Vacation day. ' Mids Norton displayed [several views of the place, including the missionaries, the parsonage where she visited scenery, etc. In concluding she urged those present to_continue their good work, saying that in order for Rev. and Mrs. Fairbanks as well as other missionaries to continue their worthy work.
