BRACADALE Is certainly the prize hard luck two-year-old of the season. There Is not another juvenile In the country that has his unique record. Ho started the racing season by being disqualified twice. REAL baseball for 13:3 cam to an end yesterday at the Polo Grounds when Bob Meusel In tho eighth Inning, with two out nufl the bases smashed a single to center that drove In two runs and led to Since then he has lost many big prizes by a short head. When he graduated another on Bill Cunningham's wild throw to third.

That made tho score 6 lo 4 In favor of the New York Yankees, champions of the American from the maiden ranks he was a topheavy favorite at 1 to 3. He went to the fost favorite for the Futurity. He was beaten off. Since then he has League, over (he New York Giants, so It remained after George Kelly. perished en Infield chances In the ninth The victory gave the World's Scries to the Yankees hy four games to iwo, after the Giants had beaten tho Yankees In hy five games to three.

By GEOIIGE TREVOR. AST week we summarised the I A prospects for the coming cam palgn at Harvard. Today we sl all deal briefly with Princeton's possibilities, a timely topic In view of Old Nassaus approaching battle ith Notre Dame. Before taking up the Tigers, however, we want to complete our resume ot the Harvard bnckfield, which was crowded out of last week's issue by the pesky worms series. Baseball has no business, anyway, encroaching upon the all too short gridiron season.

Every sport should have its day In court nnd autumn is rightly conse crated to, ine greatest or all competitive games American football. Judge Lundis please take notice. As we were about to say when abruptly silenced by the exigencies ot space. Harvard Pandora box of troubles lies behind her formidable line. Fisher has no backs at this writing capable of filling the shoes of Owen.

Buell, Gehrke and Chapin. uncu piace win ne hard lo till, for Lee and Spalding seem unin spired quarterbacks. Tho best of a rather mediocre lot of ball carrlors as measured by the high Crimson standard is Hammond, who made a name for himself in the Yale game. Percy Jenkins, who returns to his first love, the hackfleld, after a sea son at end rush, appears to have the makings of a shifty ball carrier. Whit Harvard needs above all else more speed behind that bulky line.

lltncn we find Fisher hard at work converting Quarter-Mllcr Merrill. Ihe track captain. Into a football man. Another likely prospect Is Mc- Glone. the 26-year-old Irish pepper- pot from Kxeter, who, despite the dignity of his years, is a sophomore Intellectually.

Perhaps Mc Glone may turn out to be a second Eddie Casey. Fisher hopes so. Cheek. Howe and Braden are other Crimson backs who may develop. Now for Princeton.

With this digression we are now that wears the orange stripe black jerseys of Princeton. Roper Starrs the season of 1923 under difficulties. The situation at Tlgertown is the re verse oi inaL ai c.aniunage. rnnee-ton has hacks to burn, but very little line material to shield those versatile hall carriers. Now it is axiomatic in football that a team is no stronger than Its line, hence the wrinkles of worry that furrow Roper's fighting face.

The Tiger mentor Is a master ot psychology, but it may take more 1 ,1 Til I i Oil In Pli able him to repeat with this year's eleven ine mintcuioua ncuuuiyuoii-ments he achieved with last year's team of destiny. For one thing, Roper ill sorely mis hit! stalwart pair of tackles Treat and Baker. No eleven in Ihe country bad finer tackle pUy last year than Princeton. A good pair of tackles can just about make a line. Such keen diagnosticians, such aggressive "go as Treat and Baker proved tnemselves arc noi In pe picaea up on every chuuuis.

WnfA with sran at cen- iei- u'here linn Alfnrd. the ex-Navy star was wont lo rove at large last fall, uoper nacr recourse 10 nm porimcnt of transforming a great defensive halfback into a dependable center.

In those obvious gaps at tackle lhat stand out like holes In a Swiss cheese (no reflection on the Tiger line Intended by this simile) Roper has injected Rnlan and Hills. Ru-lan, a light, aggressive scrapper, has everything but Ihe poundage to fulfill the arduous role prescribed for a Princeton tackle.

Perhaps his stamina will' prove equal to the task of flinching a vnrsity berth this 1 1 miia lh f'rlneetnn "stronc jnan" and shot putter extraordinary, mi Hen- IS siaieii IO 1111 Mm etini guns. Hills Is surely strong enough for the Job, but ho lacks that Intul-the football sense that comes only from long experience at the gnnie. He does not yet know how lo apply his natural power Instinctively, Hills Is a diamond in the rough. Ends Are Good.

Roper hns few worries when It runes to finding competent "flankers." The end Is very conspicuous in (he Princeton scheme of attack and defense. As every one knows, Nassau employs Ihe "smashing end" In contrast to the "waiting end" famed nt Yale. Students of strategy are agreed that Princeton's style of wing play Is the sounder one agalnsi the wide open modern system of offense. The Tiger method of wing play, however, exacts a heavy physical penally from lis devotees. Only superbly conditioned ntlileies cun sdand up under Ihe repeated Impacts entailed by crashing Into oppuslng Interference and "developing" the play.

Ken Smith, whose drop kicking ability is relied upon to win Princeton's big games this fall, will hold down his old position at one ex tremity of the line. "Dolly" Gray will he missed at the apposite wing, but Roper has two corking subsll-lutcs In "Sax" Tlllson and Stout.

Ilur weiii of Harvard nnd Brtubu of Continued on Page. 3, COACH ROPER MUS CONSTRUC WORTHY OF BACKS Southpaw Lost Control in Hectic Eighth Inning Rally. By Thomas rice. Southpaw Artlo 'Nehf of the New York Giants prevailed against the New York Yankees, on Friday last. by 1 to 0, through virtue of Casey Stengel's home run off Sam Jones.

He held the swatting Yankees to six hits and only did they get two hits in an Inning. He allowed three scattered bases on balls, two going to Babe Ruth, whom he fanned once. Sad Sam Jones, Yankee right-hander, held the New York fiiunts that day to four scattered hits, but one ot those was that futal homer. Nehf was not only tho logical but Inevitable choice tor the Giants yesterday, as every other pitcher on Manager McOraw's staff had looked bad while the Yankees were winning three of the first tlve games. If hoped to bring the series to threo games to three, he simply had lo use Nehf.

He accepted the inevitable and Nehf suffered the most startling, and in some respects, the most Inglorious defeat In World's Scries history. For the first seven Inlngs Nehf held tho Yankees to two hits. One was a homer by Ruth Into the upper right field stand in the first inning. The other was a single by Aaron Ward in tho second Inning, and Schang grounded to Nehf for a doublo play on Ward and Schang. The only Yankee to reach first in the next Ave innings was Ruth, who walked In the fourth after getting a count ot three and two.

Two Hits Rattled Nehf. Nehf blew up In tho eighth after he had retired Ward on a pop Hy to Kelly. Schang singled over third Schang, by the way, bats from either side of the plate. Scott singled over first, Schang taking third. F.ach of those singles was oft the first ball pitched to the batters and that bang, bang may have rattled Nehf.

Bo that as it may, ho walked Catchef Fred Hoffman, who batted for Herb Pen-nock, tilling the bases. Htnky Haines ran for Hoffman, who drew four straight bad balls and no strikes. Joe Bush, the Yankees' right-handed pitcher, is one of the best batters on the team, Ho made two long singles In throe times up when he pitched and lost the last seven Innings of the first game. Joe batted for Whltey Witt in tho eighth. Nehf gave him four bad balls In a row and forced horn Schang with a run that made the score 4 to 3 in favor of the Giants.

Most of the eight consecutive bad pitches by Nehf, which walked two men, forced in a run and led to the left-handed Nehf being supplanted hy the right-handed "Rosey" Bill Ryan, were over tho plate but low, and two or three wore, mighty close, to being strikes, but there was little protest, against the rulings of the veteran Hank U'Day behind the plate. Twelve Bad Balls In How. Ryan astounded the 34,172 cash customers who turned out for a game that started with every prospect that It would be stopped by rain, lie walked Dugan on four bad balls In a row. That, was probably a World's Series record 12 consecutive pitches without a strike or a foul, by pitchers for a team which had started the inning with a lead of 4 to 1. Ityan'a first pitch to Dugan was very close, thn second was low nnd Inside, the next two wero over the plate but a 111 tie too low.

Hink Halnos ran for Hoffmann and finished the game in center, which accounts for Pitcher Sam Jones being at the top of the batting order. Johnson ran for Bush. Rulh came up and, as said elsewhere, was so wildly excited that ho batted with no more judgment than nn amateur. He swung nt' and missed a wide curve. He fouled a low ball nearly at his shoetops.

He drew a bad ball. Hank Gowdy rushed from the Giants' bench with a message from Manager McGraw to Ryan, who nodded his head Ryan pitched a. curvn hardly more I ban shoetop high, a toot outside. Ruth swung a foot over the hall and eight or ten Inches short of it. Mighty Baho had struck out with Ihe bases full In a World's Series pinch.

Twlre Struck Out Same Way. Nehf had fanned him in almost the same manner In the seventh inning, thn third strike being low and outside. It was an awful fall for the slugger who had broken a World's Serb record by making his third homo run In the first inning yesterday, and had established another murk by compiling a total of 19 bases in the scries. Threo on, two out. Bob Meusel.

right-handed batter, up, Giants leading tne game by 4 to 2, and the Yankees needing tho game to clinch the series. Man, sir, that was a dish for a person with ono drop of aportlng blood! Boh swung at a high strike nnd missed. The next was over nnd lower. He ernshed the ball along Ihe ground, out of Ryan's reach and into center for an unmitigated single. Thnt single scored Halms and Johnson and sent Dugan to third.

Bill Cunningham's throw to third was wild and he got an error when Dugan hustled homo with the fifth Y'ankee run in that Inning, nnd Ihe last run of Ihe game. i'ipp was thrown out by Frisch and the fireworks were over. Wilt Makes Groat n. Ruth's homer In the first Inning oir ivoiir gave the yanks a momentary loud, but the Ginnts tied In the siiino round. With one out, Groh singled to left and Frisch singled lo left, Groh taking second.

Young singled lo center, scoring Frisch I mm second. The expeditious Frlaeh hied to go from first lo third on that single. Witt, paralysed even the Yankees by a throw to Dugan. who tagged out Frisch, Dugan's receiving nnd lagging were us good as Witt's throwing, hy Ihe way. That was one of the best stunts of the series, ycl we have heard Witt decried as a fielder.

It was the same Witt, who, lor some unknown reason, played a. very short center Jnr Ross Young In the first Inning Hast Friday nnd caught a short fly from Young, after which he ployed Young at a normal depth und again proved ho hutl the proper estimate ot Young. Frisch stood the Yankees on their head by a perfect cafe bunt toward llrst when he hd off In the fourth Inning, lie scored Young's Infield out and Cunningham'" single to light. I'ennock tried In Mieuk over a rlrst strike, very fast, on Cunningham, who outguessed the foulhpaw and hii villi much vigor. The third Glmit run was Snyder's homer Into the up.

per left Held land. near the foul Mne In the fifth Inning, off (ho first pitch. Fiisch In the nM made the last Giant run tor 19211. He led off In lhat Inning, Ills first was foul Into 111 tight Held stand. He drew ll bud ball, and lo the right Held stand again.

Brooklyn Superbas, In spite of the fact contract to manage the Yankees next manage the Superbas for the next three rights. Failure of Shawkcy, Dugan and Scott to back up properly let lhat throw get away. In rentrrfleld, Lawton alter Will, for the Yankees, covered as much territory as Charles U. Stengel or Bill Cunningham for tile Giants, nnd showed as good judgment in shifting for bat ters. Bob Meusel, left fielder for the Y'ankees, and Kmil Meusel.

his brother, left fielder for the Giants, each made seven hii' in the series, and wero on about a par defensively, with Emit probably shading his brother. Giants Cleaner Workmen. Unauestlonablv. the Giants were the cleaner workmen. Apart from Ihe batteries on both sides, and considering merely the fielders, nnd especially the the Giants had the mental edge by a wide margin.

It may be that we are a hit strong on that posi'ive comparison, for the nason already given, that the Giants were confronted with three times as many complicated) problems, and chances to show their brains, as wi re the Yankees. Thn Y'ankees might have shown to better advantage if the opportunities had been forced upon them, but we doubt if any number of opportunities would have enabled the Yankee infielders to impress the fans ns belns the. equal of their Giant rivals. The series would have been over when the Yankees beat the Giants hy 8 to 1 at Yankee Stadium last Sunday, it the Giant Infielders, especially Frisch and Groh, had not done stunts In the first and third games that were in themselves worth twice the price of admission. It was rather strange that, apart from taking his share in double plays with Ills usual startling speed, Dave Bancroft had no chances on which to jump Into the limelight as did Frisch.

Groh and Kelly. The circus stuff fell to those three of the Giant infield, while Dugan at third and Ward, at second, had all the circus stuff for tho Yankees. Not Disparaging Yankee Infield. We do not wish to disparage the Tankee tnfh-ld. Dugan struck us as about as fast a snap thrower on slow rollers to third as we have seen in quite a few years of baseball Aaron Ward at second-did all Lh bad to do, and did it well.

Fur ther, he did it much better than we had anticipated, but not belter than followers of the Yankee team had anticipated. Those Yankee fans told us Ward was 100 percent, more efficient than he was In spring exhibition games this year and last year, and they were absolutely right. But. when all is said and done, the Giant infield was the more capable. It saved the opening game for Bill Ryan, who pitched the last seven Innings, after Jack W'ritson had been knocked out, nnd It saved the Friday game for Nehf.

when Nehf beat Sam Jones 1 to 0. through Caaey Stengel's homer, although Jones clearly ontpitched Nehf. The Giant Infield the.l. day, and more especially Groh, enabled Ihe weaker pitcher to win'. and Ruth the Class since they met them In the two preceding World's Scries.

Frisch Best Money flayer. Taking the 1023 series hy and large, the best man In It, and one of the best money players since tho baseball players in long pants and short whiskers, was Frank Frisch. His closest rival in Ihe field was Heinle Groh. who did wonderful stunts. Frisch was vll nigh me chanically lie had brains plus football instinct on the defensive both of which Groh had, hut Frisch was a smarter and moro reliable hatter than Groh.

In our first edition story yesterday we mentioned thai if a team like the Ginnts met a pitcher such as Southpaw Herb I'cnnock twice in four days, and fell down In facing him the first time, would probably do much better against him on the second trial. Tlut proved exactly correct. I'cnnock allowed Groh one single in beating the Giants on Thursday, although he walked Groh once, lie allontl Frisch two clean singles that day. Yesterday Frisch faced I'cnnock threo limes and slammed him for two singles, followed by a triple. Groh im-ed Pennoek four times yes terday, lie singled the lirst inning, when I'ennock was using a fast ball and fast curves.

Groh then hatted against. I'ennnrk three more times, when Pennoek was mixing them up. as he did on Saturday, and the results were two outfield flies and a grounder lo short. I'risiii Outguesses IVnnexii, Frisch yesterday deliberately and continuously outguessed rennoek. On Thursday I'ennock outguessed Frisch In the eighth Inning, after Frisch had singled twice In (be oarller stuges, and made Frisch swing twice ut halls lhat had passed the plute.

'It was another slorv when they met again, as Frisch's two singles and then a triple Indicated. Frisch has only. rival among League Infielders for all-round offensive ii defensive ill, it v. That rival is llogers Hornsby of Hie St. Louis Cardinals, In our oplnl ss grcHt fielder mm he Is a hlller, although we are the only wrilej- In the circuit who dissertates, upon the great slops and throws accoinnl hed by Hornsby without fuss or feathers.

On catching difficult files Fiisch Is vastly superior lo Hnrnshv. And so we might go on comparing because dnggoiuv It I we became Intensely bet up over the series, but space forbids a longer argument at this time, More nnn! MATnto lmrtAKs Cleveland, Ohio, Oct.

started favorite several times only to post. Courser, which earned brackets him out on tho post In the lost race at Again Bracadale proved tho layer's favorite over Swingalong, Gypsy King, were loft of tho 14 entrants carded to All season Sam C. Hildrcth has held Bracadale in contempt. Sam has never liked the colt, but neverthe less the layers have served up the son of Fair Play the favorite many times, Hildreth likes a winner. Bracadale has failed too many times to suit him.

Much against his will Hildreth bet on him again yesterday. This because tho colt on paper, at least which means public performances appeared to hold his opponents for speed. How AlMiut Courser Now? But again Bracadale proved a flivver. Swinalong, which was mak ing his first appearance after long b't-up, carried Bracadale so fast the first half mile that the favorite was legweary when he entered the home stretch. It was at.

this period of the struggle that Courser loomed up as a dangerous contender. During the nrst three furlongs he was outrun by Swingalong, Bracadale and Gypsy King. But in the sprint from the three-eighth pole to the half mile post Courser settled down to his work and raoed so fast that ho soon picked up Gypsy King and then squared away for tho leaders. It. was little or no trouble for Courser to catch Swingalong.

Thut unsexed son of Whlskbroom stopped at the furlong pole in the stretch as though some man had hit him with a club. Bracadale, however, was not yet beaten. He still had some speed left, Falor went to the whip on him when ho found Courser thundering after him. Fator tried to ward oft the challenge but Courser would not be denied, and with a sprint that fairly electrified the crowd maflo up his big gap and beat Bracadalu on the post by a head. When Courser graduated from the maiden ranks on Friday last and won from Blind Play by a couple of lengths many good Judges thought that the Belmont colt would surely have beaten him had he been more fortunate at the start.

But after seolng Courser win so easily I refused fo fake that view of the case and told the reader3 of Tho Eagle In so many words. Polyniellaii and The Finn. .1 was strengthened In my opinion of Courser's good quality when I looked at the official time of the race. Ho ran the last furlong and a half on that, occasion in 0:17 3-5. It lakes a pretty good colt, lo race from the half-mile pole lo tho flve-ftirlong pole better than 12 seconds and then to come on and race out the extra half furlong (the distance of the raco was five und a half furlongs) In 6 seconds.

And, mind you, ho did It with Brunner sitting still. Those who analyzed tho running of his race on Friday and noted how fast ho ran the last part of tho race were not at all surprised when he came back and beat out Bracadale cue ball and two strikes. Pennoek thought Frisch would figure that tho pitcher Intended to work on the batter with twisters near or outside the corners of the plate. Henco Pennoek tried to cross Fiisch with a fast one for a third strike. Frish outguessed I'ennock nnd slammed a trin to left center.

Frisch was held on third while W.trd threw out Young, but scored when Emll Meusel singled to right. Cunningham grounded out to lipp, nnd Kelly fanned on a fast drop. Nehf alone was icsponslhlo for the Giants' defeat. Hia playmates had made four runs for him and the Y'ankees had made ono run of Nehf, up to tho eighth inning. Nehf had received every possible support, und If he had not been rattled by those two hits from Schang and Scott In the eighth he should have won bauds down.

Nehf hnd out pitched I'ennock In every way, except speed, up to tho eighth. His curves and slow balls were better than Ihoso of Pennoek, and he showed better Judgment In using his assets. Why ho blew up in Ihe eighth will remain a mystery of Ihe pastime. In the first inning. Pennoek used fast bulls and fust curves, but after that went to the trick sluff.

One of his tricks was lo Insist upon shooting a couple of fast halls or fast, curves before ho resorted to slow balls, which was entirely different from his style in the first gamo ho pitched aualnst the Giants. McOraw's men saw what rennoek was doing and swung lustily at the first good Of the 36 Giant halters, 24 swung at the first good one and only 12 accepted a culled strike. The Y'ankees were more cautious. They had 35 batters up. Of Ihose, three In the eighth Inning drew bases on halls In a row without a strike.

Of Ihe remaining 32 Yankee batters, 19 swung at the first good pitch nnd 13 accepted a called slrikn. Nchf's headwork In tho first seven Innings was decidedly betler than Pennock's. Pennoek' would have suffered even more than he did If Ihe Yankee fielders had not displayed classy Judgment In playing Ihe Giant bat ters. In the last four games of. Hi selies, the Yankee defense In that respect was excellent, for which credit is largely dun to Manager Miller Hugglns.

He was at 3 to 5 in the odds, The World and Courser all that In the final event of the afternoon. I don't know how far Courser will go, but judging from the way ho finished In both of his races he is capable of going six furlongs, If not more. Ho is a good-looking son of Polymellan.

That stallion has dono exceptionally well In tho winning list considering the few colts and fillies that have represented him. In Thn Finn, sire of Kai-Sang and Zev, and in Polymellan, W. It. Coo owns two stallions that promise to make great names for themselves on the American turf In tho next two years. Both are young stallions.

Sail. Sod Day for the Sandoltes. It was a sad, sad day for tho admirers of Jockey Sande. Not onco did he get home in front, although he had four mounts duting the afternoon. He was unplaced on San Dlmas In the first race, Bell Cross winning under a good ride at tho hands of Accardy, who brought bin mount up with a rush and Just nipped Hilarity, the letideri in tho stretch, a head on tho post.

Sando had the leg up on Sir Galahad 2d in the second race, but third money was Sande's portion at. thn finish. The winner was Sylvan SpHng, which was backed from even nwney to 7 lo 10 and justified tho short price by winning in a romp. Ben Wood, which opened second choice, receded from 8 to 5 to 8 to 1, which meant that Ben wouldn't do. And Ben didn't.

Then the crudest blow ot all was handed out to the Sandeiles. Sande had the mount on Aragon in tho third race. This horse cost tho Riviera Stable In purchase price and bets $60,000. Ho raced yesterday in thn colors of Frank E. Brown and was backed from 6 to 1 down to 7 to 2.

In the parade to the post Aragon stumbled and Sande went over his head. Aragon took French leave of his Jockey and ran away Iwo miles before he was caught, That settled Aragon and his backers. Again tlic ItlMern stable Bets anil Wins. 1 Fabian, heavily backed by the Riviera Stable connecliona, took tho lead at the slart and won romping. Ih was the old.

old atnrv of the HI. viera Stable; when the owners bet I the horses race well and usually win. "Wait until the owners bet. then nsk no questions, but attach your fortunes with thoir wagers." Snndo had the mount on Pan dowdy in the fourth race, a she-fur long dash for fillies. In spile of tho fact that she had not started sinco early spring she was made thn favorite.

Again Sande failed. Fly by Day raced off with Nantokah to tho homestretch, shook off the gray Ally1 and won easily. Pandowdy closed a slight gap under persuasion, but wasa unable to finish better than third. She will do better In her next race, as she wss short of work. Don't overlook her.

Series True to Form. Ono blessed thing about the series was that It ran true to form. Yankee pitchers ligured to bt more dependable in a seven-game series than those of the Giants, and Yankee batters finri to ho more mis and hardir sluggers than those of the Giants, although the Giants had a belter batting average In the National League than the Yaukees had In the American League. Wally Siiang, Yankee catcher.

figured to be more useful offensively defensively than Frank Snyder and Hank tiov.dy of tho Giants, and ho was all of that. Snyder's Iwo hits In four panics were his home run into the left field stand off Southpaw Hi rb Pennoek yesterday in the fifth Inning, and hii wasted singln lo left off I'ennock in the seventh. Gowdy got nothing in Ins two games. Schang hit safely in every game for a total of seven safe blows, and it was his single to left in tho eighth inning yesterday, after Ward had opened by popping feebly to Kelly off Southpaw Artie Nehf, that started the Yankees on their way to five runs, victory nnd tho clinching ot the world's tide. Giant Infield I As Advertised.

The Giants' Infield figured to be faster, more accurate In performing and quicker In thinking than that of tho Yankees, and again tho dope ran true to form. Jo Dugan, at third and Aaron Ward at second made fine Individual plays for the Yankees. V'ally had a bad ankle and could not do his best at first base foi tho Y'anhi. Everett Keott, at short, had few chances that Were not cut and dried. The Giants' Infielders In four of the Cx games were confronted by a surprising total of complicated plays Involving Instantaneous decision and action hy the fielders, and they never once made a mental bull, and only onco did they make a mechanical error on a riay involving instantaneous headwork.

That mistake was Frisch's tliro to the plate on Plpp's fielder's choice In the second Inning on Sunday, and we seriously doubt the justice of giving Frisch an error. We thought it a simple fielder'! choice. Out fields About F.qnal. In the ouileld, the two teams inre about ouual. Ruth's fielding lias been overshadowed by his batting, but he a natural ball player and can field a(.

well as hit. lie did all the right finding a man of his speed with a bad ankle could do. lloss Youmr, for the Giants, may have had it on Kuth irt speed, but Young was far below Uuth Id handling ground balls. Ruth's one error was a throw to third base on Sunday, and tin error was hot his by Groh, Frisch, Kelly Comparisons ure odioua, but are Inevitable In discussing sporting events of tho caliber of the World's Series, hence it becomea the painful duty of a to pick, out some performer1 nt the expense of others. In the World's Scries of 1923 we would say that tho real class In the matter of baseball instinct was displayed by Groh, Frisch and Kelly of the Giants In the field, and by Ruth In the field and on the bases.

Kelly was an awful bust In batting. Kuth made three home runs In the series. One of those cume in the first Inning yesterday nnd kept the Yankee morale, intact, so to speak, when the Giants had advanced to a 4 to 1 lend In the first six innings. Kuth lost a number of points In the rating, as Hughey Fulleton t.oUi.'i kiy, by becoming childishly over-anxious as yesterday's game croeressed. His strikeouts by South- paw Nehf 111 the eighth Inning and by the right -handed iim uyan in Ihe elghlh worn piilablo.

Tho third Btrikii at which ho swung In each caso wan a low curve outside and so palpably bad that It should not have tooled the weakest uauer on a gram mar school team. still, Kuth, by his playing of the Giant bat tern by his throwing to -bases, and by his base running and sliding throughout tho series, atoned for those two whins of yesterday, nnd looked to us morn like a born ball player llinn uny ot his Yankee uasoclates. Kelly a Ileal Star. Many knockers In and out of the National League have told us that George Ivily was punk first base man. We have, never agreed with them, and now we agree with thorn less limn ever.

Any playor-who obeys the first principle ot baseball, football, lacrosse, hockey and similar t-ports, which Is "Follow the ball can be sure of receiving a little free advertising from We are here to stale Unit Kelly follows the ball more closely and with more com nieiidable results than any man we have seen since tho king of them all in thai respect, Hans Wagner. Kelly not only follows Ihe ball but he dis plays excellent Judgment In using his extraordinarily strong throwing arm. which Is tho right, for throwing to the logical plauo after ho has re eclved Ihe bull. No player can be a honeheart who follows the ball so closely ns Kelly end displays smii quick grasp of Hie possibilities In complicated situation. Me does not always nail the runner nl whom he shoots when lie dashes to light, to enter or to left field for a relny.

hut It Is ex i crdlngly mre for him to throw to the wrong base. Whenever Kelly makes a throw it Is utmost a safe bet thai he has at. least, a sporllliri liianen to sting his victim. Kelly, lo our mind, was one ot the outstanding figure ot th series en tin detente, and showed the Yankees things thsy hava not ieen a Tlnch hitters, Finch runners. COMPOSITE SCORE BY INNINGS.
