By Robert Boyd. ee ABE RUTH will be the hero of the World's Series between the B Giants and Yankees,” says Miller Huggins, manager of the Amer ican League champions, on the eve of the major league classic, Waich opens Wednesday. Huggins is not well. The hard, nerve-racking and heart-breaking campaign that was won by only a single game has left {ts marks On the little leader of the Yankees. Some predict this is Huggins’s last year as a major league manager—not that he will not be retained, but his health might not permit him to go through another ordeal such as ae was forced to go through this season, Early In the season and last winter Huggins was under the care of his physician. Hug predicted that he would not be able to go through the season. In fact, he made a small wager with his doctor that he would not be leading the Yankees at the end of the race, The doctor won. “in all my big league career,” said Hug, after the Yankees clinched the pennant in the final game in Boston with the Red Sox, “I have never been in such a bitter fight. We were carried right along until the last twe games of the achedule before the issue was decided. | have a great 1] club, one of the greatest in the game to-day. The opposition in the American League this season was greater than | believe the fans have any conception of, “As great as my ball club is, it is one of the most unusual tn the game. Xt t# not a good home club. That's why I expect considerable trouble from the Giants in the coming World's Series. “Before hostile crowds and: under the ragzing of the fans away from home, such as the three-game series with the St. Louis Browns, Cleveland and Detroit, on our last Western trip, the club looked like champions, With the frenzied crowd shouting threats and defies, the Yunkees show to best edvantage. At home, on the Polo Grounds, with a friendly crowd, the ‘Yankees do not look half as goot. That's why I am a little uneasy about the World's Surles—vefore home crowds. I wish the World's Series was being played away from home, then I would say we would have a better chance to win. “What gave va our American League pennant this season,” Hug con- Linued, “was the hostile crowds that spurred the players on to victory, Yanks Like to Play ~ j Before Hostile Crowds. “The reason for all this centres around Ruth. Futh, figuratively speak- ing, is the axis of the club, All the rest of the players revolve around him. If the home crowds applaud him when he strikes out'there seems to be no glamour in the game, no incentive, and they play indifferent ball, Hut away from home, in Uhicago, in St. Louis, just let the crowds start to “ride” the “Big Fellow’ when he takes his three mighty swings at the ozone. He Fesents !t and the rest of the team follows in the resentment. That Is when the Yankees aro at their best, when they are most destructive.” “If the hostile crowds did not arouse my players on the Inst Western trip we would perhaps have lost the pennant. “So about the World’s Series this week I am somewhat dubious, because there will be only friendly crowds, applauding the players even wuen they make mistakes, There will be no hostility manifested by the fans Dempsey Met the Strong Man in the World on H:s Ti to Maine Woods. strongest man in the world. is Almon Currier, a Maine berman, guide and hunter, h feats are the talk of the hunt country up there near the Can border.
