Failure in Pinch Hurts Nats : Johnson Will Insist on Full Base Ball Inquiry SPEED OF BATTLES HERE IS MISSING IN NEW YORK Reaction After First Two Games Is Indicated. “Can’t Win If You Don’t Hit,” Is Way Harris Sums Up Loss. BY JOHN B. KELLER. NEW YORK. October 7.—“ Neither world series games nor other ball games can be won when you don't hit ’em in after you hit ’em on or the other fellow puts ’em on for you." is the way Bucky Harris, youthful manager of the American League champions, summarizes the fi-to-4 defeat of the Nationals by the Giants yesterday, in the third game of the series for world base hall laurels. And his summarization just about Tuts the nail on the head. The Nationals had as many changes to win as did the Giants, but were not "there” in the pinches. It was not because the Giants were so good that they took this third game and again went into the lead in the championship race. They floundered about almost helplessly several times during the pastiming, but so did the Nationals. The Giants, though, managed to take advantage of their opponents’ lack of balance more often than the Nationals, and that's all there was to it. Ulvc INior (exhibition. It was a terrible game to pul lie fore the base ball public after thost two homerie struggles in the Na- tional Capital. It cannot lie said the better team won. Victory went to the club that did not play puUe as poorly as the other. Perhaps it was a reaction from the strenuous efforts of both clubs in the pair of magnificent battles in Washington that caused such a let- down in thir work in the initial tilt of the series here. Perhaps the strain of those terrific tussles took so much out of the clubs that neither was able to appear at Its best be- fore the fans that thronged Brush Stadium. Neither Nationals nor tiiants performed with the speed and precision that marked the first two engagements. But both are likely to “come back” with a vengeance today. They are too keyed up to falter as they did in the first New York game for any length of time. The Nationals, at least, are not particularly alarmed by their lack of snap yesterday. They emerged from the name fighting mad and eager to fchow New York fan- dom this afternoon they still can put on an exhibition equal to either of those that thrilled the clamoring crowds in Washington Saturday and Sunday. There was one man on the field yes- terday. however, who played a con- sistently good game all the way. While his teammates were inclined to be unsteady, Frankie Frisch of the tiiants gave a marvelous display of his talents as a second sacker. As Manager Harris remarked in the Na- tionals' dressing room after the con- test. “It's difficult to beat a team with four outfielders, and that's what the Giants had. Frankie Frisch did a better bit of outfielding than any of the regular Giant pasturemen. It was the best performance 1 ever saw from a second sacker." "It was Frisch's steadiness that kept the shaky Giants' Club in the game. The New York hurlers flopped in quick succession, and generally the supporting cast kept tho Giants' root- ers on pins and needles, but the root- ers never had to worry about Frisch. This chap grabbed everything that came his way and took several chances that really did not travel in his proper territory. Every play he made sparkled. Three times he put a damper on the Na- tionals' hopes of shccess by brilliant pieces of work. He rose to greatest height* in the fifth frame when he converted himself into an outfielder, and ran far back into renter field to grab Goose Goslin's looper that seem- ed certain to become a Texas league single when it left the bat. It was more a play for George Kelly, center fielder, than Frisch, but the Fordham flash, like the truly great second sacker he is, was sprint- ing for the play so surely that Kelly did not dare interfere. Frisch made the catch with his finger tips while on a dead run, and the crowd roared itfi approval. He deserved every mite of applause. Goslin was the victim of Frisch’s fine fielding again in the seventh. There were Nationals on first and second bases with two gone when Goose socked a wicked grounder Just to Terry's right. The ball sped by the big first sacker like a comet, but Frisch leaped across into Its path, made a stunning stop, and Just flagged the batter at the initial sack. A little less speed or a little less accuracy on Frisch's part and the blow probably would have been a two-bagger to put the Nationals right at the Giants' heels. Frisch cut off National scoring in the eighth with a neat stop and throw of Leibold’s sizzler that was driven between the first and second basemen of the Giants, much nearer to Terry than Frisch. Frankie was on the ball like a ter- rier on a rat and pegged to Terry for a retirement while Lelbold was within a stride of the initial sack. Miller was at third base and Shirley at first. It was a fine day for Frisch and he made it a fine day for the Giants. None of the hurlers used yesterday remained in action long enough to get a good workout Hugh McQuillan, liosy Ryan, Claude Jonnard and John Watson on the Giants’ side, and Fred Marberry, Allen Russel, Joe Martina and Byron Speece on the Na- tionals, made it a lively afternoon for the scorers. As though they were not enough to fluster the record keepers. Manager Harris employed Benny Tate, Earl MeNeeley, and Mule Shir- ley as pineh-hitterg, and had to send Ralph Miller Into the game while Big Chief McGraw yanked Center Fielder Kelley in favor of Southworth before the tilt was ended. All told there were 29 players in the game. 16 of them batting for Washington. Harris Him homing that Roger Feckinpaugh would he able to re- sume his place at shortstop, but If Roger’s charley horse, sprung Sun- day, though not troublesome until yesterday, is not relieved, the Na- tionals' manager believes the left side of his infield with Miller at third and Bluege at short would give a good account of Itself. “Miller suffered a trifle from stage fright yesterday when he got into his first world series game, as did some of us under similar circumstances Saturday,” the young pilot said,-“but Ralph i- s a capable player and if Peck canno get back to shortstop and Bluege has to resume that Job I look for Miller to put up a very steady game at third base. “I have much confidence In him afield and much at bat. He got a run in for us yesterday when he first had a chance, but batted in some hard luck when he had another chance to drive men home. Ralph can meet the ball hard, however, and may surprise these Giant pitchers if call- ed upon to play.” Trainer Mike Martin treated Peck’s charley-horsed leg yesterday and worked upon it again this morning. I,lk« the optimist in the radio song, the Nationals feel that "it aJn't gonna rain no mo’.’’ They realize they did not put up their standard game yea- and aie not offering poor work w their pitching stall as an alibi. Their pitching looked no better than ¦ urs, did it?" asked one of the reg- ulars in the clubhouse following the ray. "We did not hit as timely as the ¦'iants, but we got to those (lingers faiily weM at that, and they cer- tainly were wild. Everything might have been different had that doub'e- play gone through in the second inning. It would have retired the .side and given Marberry a chance to rest before tackling the Giant bat- ters again. “Rut what happened was base halj and could just as well have happened to the Giants as to us. So tar, we have had to battle for everything we have gained. Well, we are not looking for anything on a stiver plat- ter. We are not through with-the Giants by a long shot." And his last remark goes tor the whole lot of Nationals. RICE AND RUEL GOING ON EUROPEAN JUNKET CHICAGO. October 7.—The list of players who will accompany the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals on their foreign tour, starting the middle of the month, were announced here last night by Norris “Tip'' O'Neil, business manager In charge of the trip. The tour will he preceded by an ex- hibition game at Ottawa, Canada, October 13. after which the teams will sail for Europe, where Dick Kln- sella. representing tile Giants, has mapped out an itinerary which pro- vides for game; In Ireland, England, Belgium and Italy. The White Sox line-up will include; Outfield. Mostil and Falk, Chicago, and Rice, Washington; infield, Kanim, Morehart and Clancy, all of Chicago, atid one other player to be selected: latchers. Ruel of Washington, and Riclnich of the Boston Red Sox; pitchers. Faber. Robertson, Evens and Foreman, all of Chluago. Ed Walsh, coach of the White Sox. will act as one of the umpires, and Man- ager Johnny Evers will be in charge of the Sox, Those making the trip with the Giants include; Inlield, Oroh.

I*ee Richmond of Brown University was the first left-handed pitcher to attain prominence. His success with the old Worcester National Eeague team caused other managers to try to dig up southpaws. GIANTS NOW SEEM SURE TO WIN, EXPERT ASSERTS BY FREDERICK 0. LIEB, Official World Series Scorer and President Baee Ball Writer#' Association. NKW YORK. October 7.—The Giants apparently have the Washing- ton lads on the run. Winning yesterday’s game, a contest of feeble pitching, gave the New Yorkers a big edge. The National Leaguers now look like sure winners, and if they can beat Johnson, it may be possible for the McGraw men to wind up the series without the necessity of going back to Wash- ington. Yesterday’s game was one of the poorest pitched world series contests that I ever have attended. New York won by Washington’s pitching, which was just a little worse than that of the Giants. World series teams each using four pitchers is a record. ORIOLES AGAIN TRIIVI SAINTS; MOVE WEST j Ity *hi“ An!*ociafr'rt I’rens. BALTIMORE. M<l.. October 7. I The Baltimore Orioles*. International League champions, anil the St. Paul Spirits, pennant winners of the Amer- ican Association, are en route to St. Tan I today, where on Thursday they will resume play in the little world series after five games here. Yester- day’s fame, a plav-off of last Satur- day’s fie, resulted in a decidedly one- i sided victory for the Birds, the score being 10 to 1, and increased the lead of th- International Leaguers to two i frames. » The series count is now three games to one in Baltimore’s favor. ! with five triumphs necessary to carry off the series. Os the four games played to a de- cision here. Lefty Groves has two to his credit and Karnshaw one. How- ard Merritt pitched the Saints to their only victory in the second game. He also scored the only shut-out, blank- ing the Birds 6-0. The total attendance at the five games here was 28,054 and the re- ceipts 138.766. Os tills the players’ share is $27,136, the leagues will re- ceive $3,876 and $7,753 will go to the clubs. A portion of the receipts of either the Saturday or Sunday game at St. Paul will be added to the players' total. WHITE SOX RETAIN WINDY CITY HONORS CHICAGO, October 7.—The White Sox still are Chicago champions, even if they did finish last in the 1924 American League race. Bowling over the Cubs yesterday. 5 to 3. the American League nine led by Johnny Kvers, retained the city tills. It was the sixth game of the series, the Cubs having captured the first and fifth combats solely on the pitch- ing of Grover Alexander. Hollis Thurston and Ted Lyons hurled the Sox to victory. Thurston was swept aside in the torrid Cub attack in the seventh inning which fell a single run short of tying the score and Lyons came on to wind up the fray. Vic Aldridge. Elmer Jacobs. Tony Kaufmann and John Blake pitched for the Cubs, but the National League club could not catch the Sox after they got away to a four-run lead In the first three innings. Os the players' share In the receipts of the first four games which amounted to $31,990.68, the White Sox will divide $19,194.41 and the Cubs $12,796.27. FLYWEIGHTS CLASH IN BARRACKS SCRAP Two flyweight battlers,'' Young Dcncio and Frankie Murray, are slated to step in the twelve rounds tonight at the Washington Barracks for the benefit of the Walter Johnson testimonial fund. I On the records of both scrappers, a 1 whirlwind battle should be on tap. 1 Denclo has been successful in u num- -1 her of bouts here, his most notable achievement being a victory over 1 I,title Jeff, Baltimore flyweight cham- pion. Murray claims to have earned a six-round draw decision over Pancho Villa. Three six-round bouts are listed in addition to the main go. John L. Rmlth will exchange swats with Kid Groves, Jos Rivers will be the opponent of Kid Hogan and Frankie Collins will meet Joe Plscatelll. TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F Peck’s Loss Costly. If Peoklnpaugh Is out of the game for good his loss will badly affect the play of the Nationals. Players of the New York Yankees are of the opinion that Peck contributed more to Wash- ington’s pennant victory than any man on the team, not excepting Wal- ter Johnson. In my earlier articles 1 pointed out that Washington would be in a bad way in the event one of its regular players became disabled. The club has poor reserve material. Ralph Mil- ler. once up with the Phillies, is a mediocre -player. He is a poor sub- stitute for Perk, though often these ugly ducklings have come through in a world series, Marherry lived up to the dope. He is a great relief artist, hut for some reason or other doesn't amount to much when he is intrusted with games at the start. It is odd why this pitcher is so much more effective late in the afternoon than early in the day. Error Is Disastrous. Marberry might have got by had not Washington's great double-play combination. Bluege to Harris to Judge, missed fire in the second in- ning. With Terry on base and one out. Jackson chopped a bounder to Bluege, which looked like a sure double killing, but Bluege's throw was a little low. and Harris muffed it. Instead of retiring the side on a i double play, it put runners on second and first. Both scored. Were I to put my finger on the play which cost Washington the bail game I would select this particular play. While there was some terrible bush pitching. Johnny Watson really did a splendid piece of rescue work in the ninth. Washington had a chance to pull out the ball game, especially after Jonnard, who relieved Ryan, walked Bluege and forced In Harris. McGraw didn’t gamble long with Jonnard. He went out in a hurry, and with the bases full and a single meaning at least a tie. Watson, who relieved Jonnard, quickly got rid of Ralph Miller and Ruel. It might have been a different story had Peck come up in the ninth Instead of Miller. Twice before Roger had made good in the ninth with a timely clout, and he would have had a psychological edge over Watson. Fielding Brilliant. While the game was badly pitched on the whole, the fielding was mar- velous, with Frisch excelling. How- ever. one of Frisch’s greatest plays, a catch on Goslln in center field, really was a stupid piece of work. It clearly was Kelly’s ball, and Kelly was coming In. Frisch was approach- ing it from the opposite direction. It was the deepest ball hit to center that I ever saw handled by an in- fielder. The scorers gave Frisch a hit on which there was some doubt, but I believe the play was properly record- ed. With Oowdy on third base in the eighth, Frisch tapped a beautiful bunt, which was absolutely safe. There was no possible play on Frisch, but Speece made a really fine play and nipped Oowdy at the.plate. The reason we gave this play us a hit was that Frisch certainly could have beaten the ball to first. It was not a force play, as Oowdy was not obliged to run. The scoring in this seririi has been more difficult than it has been for the last four years. We have had many hard decisions to mgke. In- cluding who should receive credit for the victories won on Sunday and yesterday. • • We gave Zachary' the victory Sun- day because he pitched practically the entire game. Yesterday we pave it to Ryan because he was in the game the longest. Incidentally, that homer by ’’Rosy” was the first he ever hit and the first ever hit by a National League pitcher in a world series. The only other home run hit by a pitcher in a world series was by Jim Bagby in the Clsveland- Dodger series of 1920.

JOHNSON, WITH ALL-STARS, TWICE BEAT MIGHTY A.’S THE nearest Walter Johnson ever came to pitching in a world series until last Saturday was In 1910. when he pitched for a club that defeated the, then to be, world champions four out of five games in a special series. This incident was recalled by Harry Lord of Cape Elizabeth, former field captain of the Chicago White Sox, who. w ith Johnspn, was a member of an all-star American League club that vanquished with comparative ease the Philadelphia Athletics, just before the Mackraen became world titleholders by walloping the Chicago Cubs four games to one. Connie Mack thought it would he good policy for his club to have a tuning-up scries with a strong opponent after the Athletics had won the American League pennant and before they tackled the -National League champions in the final struggle for world honors. Jim McAleer. then manager of Washington. volunteered to assemble the All-American challengers. He enlisted Walter Johnson of his own club and hig Ed Walsh of Chicago as right-hand flingers, and ~L »oc” White, also of the White Sox. for the south- paw representative of his staff. For catchers he corraled Gabby Street of Washington and Billy Sullivan of Chicago. Jake Stahl of the Red Sox played first base. Kid Klberfeld and George Mcßride of the Senators, sec- ond base and shortstop, respectively, and Harry Lord of the White Sox. third base. In the outfield were Ty Cobb of the Tygers, Tris Speaker of the Red Sox and Clyde Milan of the Senators. Utility men were Herman "Germany” Schaefer and Cunningham. Take* Four Straight. This team won four games straight from the coming world champions, dropping the fifth contest, 3 to 0. Walter Johnson worked.in two games and won them both. The Washington ace opened the series at Philadelphia on October II and humbled the Amer- ican League bosses by an 8-to-3 count. He held the Mackmen to seven hits while his comrades drubbed three stars of the Athletics’ heaving corps. Bender, Coombs and Plank, for 15 safe Mows. In the third inning of this duel the Washington smoke ball wizard per- formed a feat never before nor since equaled by any pitcher. He fanned Topsy Hartsel. Rube Oldrjng and Ed- die Collins, one after the other, as fast as they stepped up to the bat. Ty Cobb had wired that the would motor over from Detroit to join the Club, but the Georgia Peach failed to ahow up for the opening game, much f> the disappointment of the fans and Schaefer took his place. The next day the clubs were on the field and ready to start the game, when Cobb came through the gates in uniform. Hchaefer, who had al- ready taken his position in right field then walked back to the home plate and the game was stopped while he made one of his characteristic speeches- In a tone of mock sarcasm, he told the crowd, that the All-Stars were not there to humiliate the pen- nant winners, but to give them a tun- ing UP for the world series. "We want to give them a chance.” said Schaefer, "so today we are going to weaken our club. I will retire, and Ty Cobb will take my place." The second game, also played at Philadelphia was another easy vic- tory for the All-Stars, Ed Walsh hur- ling McAleer's club to a 5-to-l victory. In the third battle "Doe” White, tho Chicago portsider, now head of physical training in the Washington high schools, went the route, winning a 6-to-2 decision, while Bender, Coombs and Krause were tossed into the fray, one after another by Cor- nelius McOillJcuddy in the vain effort to cljeck the invaders. Each team annexed 11 hits, but White received LAUREL RACES Laurel, Maryland First Rice, 1:45 P.M. Special trains will leave Uaiaa Station (Baltimore g Okie R. R.) 13(36. ISiSR, 13(46 P.

Then came the fourth contest played in Washington and Walter Johnson behaved handsomely before the home folks. Walt just toyed with the Pennsylvanians, doling out but seven scattered bingles. and winning his game, 4 to 1, with errorless sup- port. His opponent was Morgan, who allowed eight hits. Back to Philadelphia for the fifth fracas and finally the Bender, Plank, Krause combination prevailed and Athletics won by a 3-to-0 shutout. Kd Walsh was nicked for only six hits, but his teammates were helpless with the willow. "I’d just like to manage a club like this for one season,” remarked Jim- my McAleer after the series was over, "and I could die happy.” Os this team, which some experts claim was (he greatest ever assem- bled for exhibition T-<rpoees, all but two are still alive. "Germany” Schaefer, the jovial comedian, and Jake Stahl, the Adonis of first base- men, have passed on. GIBBONS-TUNNEY GO BY NO MEANS SURE NEW YORK. October 7.—Amid all (he talk of a Tunney-Gibbons battle indoors before the Christmas holidays emerges one tangible fact. Gibbons and his manager. Eddie Kane, have been more eager for this battle than Tunney seems to have been. Perhaps this is because Gibbons will receive more money than Gene if the two meet. Or may be Tunney and his manager, Billy Gibson, are not working in such close harmony as might appear. Gib- son failed to get McTigue for Gene and the Marine regrets that exceed- ingly. He couid get more credit by beating McTigue—that is, he could get a world title—than he could should he beat Gibbons, even grant- ing he would have much less chance of beating Tommy than Mike. What Tunney would like to do womd be to win a world title and then retire. He has no love for the boxing game or things associated with it. He has plenty of money, a good business and lots of friends. And, take it from the writer, he is the prince of all fighters who eves stood In a ring. HEWITT TIRES SOxSVfe Cl. N. S. Std.

PRESIDENT ASSERTS Latest Scandal May Develop Into Another Teapot Dome, He Says—-Calls Conditions on Pacific Coast Rotten—Scores Landis. CHICAGO. October 7.—ls the United States Government steps in and makes a law providing for Federal jurisdiction over base ball, as has been suggested, the present scandal may develop into an- other Teapot Dome. President Ban Johnson of the American League is quoted as saying in special dispatches received here from Excelsior Springs. Mo., where he has gone for his health. His statement was made while referring to the expulsion of Jimmy O'Connell and Cozv Dolan of the New York Giants previous to the starting of the world series. Aeked if he would work with Com- missioner K. M. Landis in the latter’s plan to cDan up base ball, President Johnson said; “No. indeed. Landis quit on the in- vestigation when we were trying to bring the crooked White Sox players to trial. The American League ac. compltsbed that alone, and there was 4 lot of work to it. “The facts of this later scandal j must be exposed, and all the guilty ones punished or the game of base ball is in danger of being wrecked. I ¦‘hall demand that the entire mess be "J.Vcd. The public demands it. "There have been other cases of crooked base ball this season, not in 'he American League, but plenty of it elsewhere. Not many people know it, but conditions on the Pacific Coast have been rotten this season. Most of the sure thing gamblers who were mixed up in the scandal of 1919 are nut there operating I found that as much as 6100,000 had been bet on a single game In I.os Angeles. “You know as well as I do, and the public knows, that Jimmy o’Conneirs story rings with truth. There cer- tainly were others Involved in that attempt to bribe an opposing player to throw a ball game. The thing should have been thoroughly cleaned up right there. The Giants should nex-er have been allowed to go into the world series, hut was con- tent to banish two players, one of whom confessed. He simply hushed up the scandal, and by so doing has protected the real culprits. "1 could not work with Landis in cleaning up thin mess. It must be done by unbiased parties. Landis seems to be very close to McOraw and the New York ball club. I can- not see where I could get results working with him.” ——— - WOOD ALCOHOL USED ON LEG POISONS ZEV NKW YORK, October T.—Zev.
