Failure in Pinch Hurts Nats : Johnson Will Insist on Full Base Ball InquirySPEED 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 ballgames can be won when you don't hit ’em in after you hit ’em onor 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 gameof the series for world base hall laurels. And his summarization just aboutTuts the nail on the head. The Nationals had as many changes to win asdid the Giants, but were not "there” in the pinches.

It was not because the Giants were so good that they took this thirdgame and again went into the lead in the championship race. Theyfloundered about almost helplessly several times during the pastiming,but so did the Nationals. The Giants, though, managed to take advantageof their opponents’ lack of balance more often than the Nationals, andthat's all there was to it.

Ulvc INior (exhibition.

It was a terrible game to pul liefore the base ball public after thosttwo homerie struggles in the Na-tional Capital. It cannot lie said thebetter team won. Victory went to

the club that did not play puUe aspoorly as the other.

Perhaps it was a reaction from thestrenuous efforts of both clubs inthe pair of magnificent battles inWashington that caused such a let-down in thir work in the initialtilt of the series here. Perhaps thestrain of those terrific tussles tookso much out of the clubs that neitherwas able to appear at Its best be-fore the fans that thronged BrushStadium. Neither Nationals nortiiants performed with the speed andprecision that marked the first twoengagements.

But both are likely to “come back”with a vengeance today. They aretoo keyed up to falter as they didin the first New York game for anylength of time. The Nationals, atleast, are not particularly alarmedby their lack of snap yesterday. Theyemerged from the name fighting madand eager to fchow New York fan-dom this afternoon they still can puton an exhibition equal to either ofthose that thrilled the clamoringcrowds in Washington Saturday andSunday.

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 tobe unsteady, Frankie Frisch of thetiiants gave a marvelous display ofhis talents as a second sacker. AsManager Harris remarked in the Na-tionals' dressing room after the con-test. “It's difficult to beat a team withfour outfielders, and that's what theGiants had. Frankie Frisch did abetter bit of outfielding than any ofthe regular Giant pasturemen. It wasthe best performance 1 ever saw froma second sacker."

"It was Frisch's steadiness thatkept the shaky Giants' Club in thegame. The New York hurlers floppedin quick succession, and generally thesupporting cast kept tho Giants' root-ers on pins and needles, but the root-ers never had to worry about Frisch.This chap grabbed everything thatcame his way and took severalchances that really did not travel inhis proper territory.

Every play he made sparkled. Threetimes he put a damper on the Na-tionals' hopes of shccess by brilliantpieces of work. He rose to greatestheight* in the fifth frame when heconverted himself into an outfielder,and ran far back into renter field tograb Goose Goslin's looper that seem-ed certain to become a Texas leaguesingle when it left the bat.

It was more a play for GeorgeKelly, center fielder, than Frisch, butthe Fordham flash, like the trulygreat second sacker he is, was sprint-ing for the play so surely that Kellydid not dare interfere. Frisch madethe catch with his finger tips whileon a dead run, and the crowd roareditfi approval. He deserved every miteof applause.

Goslin was the victim of Frisch’sfine fielding again in the seventh.There were Nationals on first andsecond bases with two gone whenGoose socked a wicked grounder Justto Terry's right. The ball sped bythe big first sacker like a comet,but Frisch leaped across into Itspath, made a stunning stop, and Justflagged the batter at the initial sack.

A little less speed or a little lessaccuracy on Frisch's part and theblow probably would have been atwo-bagger to put the Nationalsright at the Giants' heels.

Frisch cut off National scoring inthe eighth with a neat stop andthrow of Leibold’s sizzler that wasdriven between the first and secondbasemen of the Giants, much nearerto Terry than Frisch.

Frankie was on the ball like a ter-rier on a rat and pegged to Terry fora retirement while Lelbold was withina stride of the initial sack. Millerwas at third base and Shirley atfirst.

It was a fine day for Frisch and hemade it a fine day for the Giants.

None of the hurlers used yesterdayremained in action long enough toget a good workout Hugh McQuillan,liosy Ryan, Claude Jonnard and JohnWatson on the Giants’ side, andFred Marberry, Allen Russel, JoeMartina and Byron Speece on the Na-tionals, made it a lively afternoon forthe scorers. As though they were notenough to fluster the record keepers.Manager Harris employed BennyTate, Earl MeNeeley, and Mule Shir-ley as pineh-hitterg, and had to sendRalph Miller Into the game while Big

Chief McGraw yanked Center FielderKelley in favor of Southworth beforethe tilt was ended.

All told there were 29 players inthe game. 16 of them batting forWashington.

Harris Him homing that RogerFeckinpaugh would he able to re-

sume his place at shortstop, but IfRoger’s charley horse, sprung Sun-day, though not troublesome untilyesterday, is not relieved, the Na-tionals' manager believes the leftside of his infield with Miller at thirdand Bluege at short would give agood account of Itself.

“Miller suffered a trifle from stagefright yesterday when he got into hisfirst world series game, as did someof us under similar circumstancesSaturday,” the young pilot said,-“butRalph i-s a capable player and if Peckcanno get back to shortstop andBluege 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 anotherchance to drive men home. Ralph can

meet the ball hard, however, and maysurprise these Giant pitchers if call-

ed upon to play.”Trainer Mike Martin treated Peck’s

charley-horsed leg yesterday andworked upon it again this morning.

I,lk« the optimist in the radio song,

the Nationals feel that "itaJn'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 theray.

"We did not hit as timely as the¦'iants, but we got to those (lingersfaiily weM at that, and they cer-tainly were wild. Everything mighthave been different had that doub'e-play gone through in the secondinning. It would have retired the.side and given Marberry a chance torest before tackling the Giant bat-ters again.

“Rut what happened was base haljand could just as well have happenedto the Giants as to us. So tar, wehave had to battle for everythingwe have gained. Well, we are notlooking for anything on a stiver plat-ter. We are not through with-theGiants by a long shot."

And his last remark goes tor thewhole lot of Nationals.

GIANTS NOW SEEM SURETO 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, gavethe New Yorkers a big edge. The National Leaguers now look like surewinners, and if they can beat Johnson, it may be possible for the McGrawmen to wind up the series without the necessity of going back to Wash-ington. Yesterday’s game was one of the poorest pitched world seriescontests that I ever have attended. New York won by Washington’spitching, which was just a little worse than that of the Giants. Worldseries teams each using four pitchers is a record.

TROUSERSTo 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 theplay of the Nationals. Players of theNew York Yankees are of the opinionthat Peck contributed more to Wash-ington’s pennant victory than anyman on the team, not excepting Wal-ter Johnson.

In my earlier articles 1 pointed outthat Washington would be in a badway in the event one of its regularplayers became disabled. The clubhas poor reserve material. Ralph Mil-ler. once up with the Phillies, is amediocre -player. He is a poor sub-stitute for Perk, though often theseugly ducklings have come through ina world series,

Marherry lived up to the dope. Heis a great relief artist, hut for somereason or other doesn't amount tomuch when he is intrusted withgames at the start. It is odd why thispitcher is so much more effective latein the afternoon than early in theday.

Error Is Disastrous.

Marberry might have got by hadnot Washington's great double-playcombination. Bluege to Harris toJudge, missed fire in the second in-ning. With Terry on base and oneout. Jackson chopped a bounder toBluege, which looked like a suredouble killing, but Bluege's throwwas 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 toput my finger on the play which costWashington the bail game I wouldselect this particular play.

While there was some terrible bushpitching. Johnny Watson really did asplendid piece of rescue work in theninth. Washington had a chance topull out the ball game, especially

after Jonnard, who relieved Ryan,walked Bluege and forced In Harris.

McGraw didn’t gamble long withJonnard. He went out in a hurry,and with the bases full and a singlemeaning at least a tie. Watson, whorelieved Jonnard, quickly got rid ofRalph Miller and Ruel. It might havebeen a different story had Peck comeup in the ninth Instead of Miller.Twice before Roger had made good in

the ninth with a timely clout, andhe would have had a psychologicaledge over Watson.

Fielding Brilliant.

While the game was badly pitchedon 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. Itwas the deepest ball hit to centerthat I ever saw handled by an in-fielder.

The scorers gave Frisch a hit onwhich there was some doubt, but Ibelieve the play was properly record-ed. With Oowdy on third base inthe eighth, Frisch tapped a beautifulbunt, which was absolutely safe.There was no possible play onFrisch, but Speece made a really fineplay and nipped Oowdy at the.plate.

The reason we gave this play usa hit was that Frisch certainly couldhave beaten the ball to first. It wasnot a force play, as Oowdy was notobliged to run.

The scoring in this seririi has beenmore difficult than it has been forthe last four years. We have hadmany hard decisions to mgke. In-cluding who should receive credit forthe victories won on Sunday andyesterday. • •

We gave Zachary' the victory Sun-day because he pitched practicallythe entire game. Yesterday we paveit to Ryan because he was in thegame the longest. Incidentally, thathomer by ’’Rosy” was the first heever hit and the first ever hit bya National League pitcher in a worldseries. The only other home runhit by a pitcher in a world serieswas by Jim Bagby in the Clsveland-Dodger series of 1920.(Copyright, 1924, br the Christy Wslsb

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 gamesin a special series.

This incident was recalled by Harry Lord of Cape Elizabeth, formerfield captain of the Chicago White Sox, who. w ith Johnspn, was a member

of an all-star American League club that vanquished with comparativeease the Philadelphia Athletics, just before the Mackraen became worldtitleholders by walloping the Chicago Cubs four games to one.

Connie Mack thought it would he good policy for his club to have atuning-up scries with a strong opponent after the Athletics had won theAmerican League pennant and before they tackled the -National Leaguechampions in the final struggle for world honors.

Jim McAleer. then manager ofWashington. volunteered to assemblethe All-American challengers. He

enlisted Walter Johnson of his ownclub and hig Ed Walsh of Chicago asright-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 ofWashington and Billy Sullivan ofChicago. Jake Stahl of the Red Soxplayed first base. Kid Klberfeld andGeorge 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 ofthe Red Sox and Clyde Milan of theSenators. Utility men were Herman"Germany” Schaefer and Cunningham.

Take* Four Straight.

This team won four games straightfrom the coming world champions,dropping the fifth contest, 3 to 0.Walter Johnson worked.in two gamesand won them both. The Washington

ace opened the series at Philadelphiaon October II and humbled the Amer-ican League bosses by an 8-to-3count. He held the Mackmen to seven

hits while his comrades drubbed threestars of the Athletics’ heaving corps.Bender, Coombs and Plank, for 15safe Mows.

In the third inning of this duel theWashington smoke ball wizard per-formed a feat never before nor sinceequaled by any pitcher. He fannedTopsy Hartsel. Rube Oldrjng and Ed-die Collins, one after the other, asfast as they stepped up to the bat.

Ty Cobb had wired that the wouldmotor over from Detroit to join theClub, but the Georgia Peach failed toahow up for the opening game, muchf> the disappointment of the fans andSchaefer took his place.

The next day the clubs were on the

field and ready to start the game,

when Cobb came through the gatesin uniform. Hchaefer, who had al-ready taken his position in right

field then walked back to the homeplate and the game was stopped while

he made one of his characteristicspeeches- In a tone of mock sarcasm,he told the crowd, that the All-Starswere 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 willtake my place."

The second game, also played atPhiladelphia 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 ofphysical training in the Washingtonhigh schools, went the route, winninga 6-to-2 decision, while Bender,Coombs and Krause were tossed into

the fray, one after another by Cor-

nelius McOillJcuddy in the vain effortto cljeck the invaders. Each team

annexed 11 hits, but White received

flawless backing, while the champsbooted a few.

. Then came the fourth contestplayed in Washington and WalterJohnson behaved handsomely beforethe home folks. Walt just toyedwith the Pennsylvanians, doling out butseven scattered bingles. and winninghis game, 4 to 1, with errorless sup-port. His opponent was Morgan,who allowed eight hits.

Back to Philadelphia for the fifthfracas and finally the Bender, Plank,Krause combination prevailed andAthletics won by a 3-to-0 shutout.Kd Walsh was nicked for only sixhits, but his teammates were helplesswith the willow.

"I’d just like to manage a club likethis for one season,” remarked Jim-my McAleer after the series wasover, "and I could die happy.”

Os this team, which some expertsclaim was (he greatest ever assem-bled for exhibition T-<rpoees, all buttwo are still alive. "Germany”Schaefer, the jovial comedian, and

Jake Stahl, the Adonis of first base-men, have passed on.

GIBBONS-TUNNEY GOBY NO MEANS SURE

NEW YORK. October 7.—Amid

all (he talk of a Tunney-Gibbonsbattle indoors before the Christmasholidays emerges one tangible fact.Gibbons and his manager. EddieKane, have been more eager for thisbattle than Tunney seems to havebeen.

Perhaps this is because Gibbonswill receive more money than Geneif the two meet.

Or may be Tunney and his manager,Billy Gibson, are not working in suchclose harmony as might appear. Gib-son failed to get McTigue for Geneand the Marine regrets that exceed-ingly. He couid get more credit bybeating McTigue—that is, he couldget a world title—than he couldshould he beat Gibbons, even grant-ing he would have much less chanceof beating Tommy than Mike.

What Tunney would like to dowomd be to win a world title andthen retire. He has no love for theboxing game or things associatedwith it. He has plenty of money, agood business and lots of friends.And, take it from the writer, he isthe prince of all fighters who evesstood In a ring.

| Kpinard gets another chance Sat-urday. At Latonia he will meet arepresentative band of Americanthoroughbreds over a distance o.ground—a mile and one-quarter.

After filling this engagement theFrench champion will have completedhis American contract. He has beenentered in the 1-aurel and Washing-ton , handicaps at one mile and onemile and a quarter, respectively.

Whether he is shipped to Laurelwill in a large measure depend uponhis showing at Latonia. A completerout for the French colt doubtlesswould mean that Trainer Kugen*Leigh would immediately ship h ;, nback overseas.

On the other hand, if Kpinard is re-turned the winner of the Kentuckyclassic it is highly probable that hewill be shipped to laiurel.

GAME IS FACING CRISIS.A. L. PRESIDENT ASSERTS

Latest Scandal May Develop Into Another TeapotDome, He Says—-Calls Conditions on Pacific

Coast Rotten—Scores Landis.

CHICAGO. October 7.—ls the United States Government steps inand 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 isquoted as saying in special dispatches received here from ExcelsiorSprings. Mo., where he has gone for his health. His statement was madewhile referring to the expulsion of Jimmy O'Connell and Cozv Dolan ofthe 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’splan to cDan up base ball, PresidentJohnson said;

“No. indeed. Landis quit on the in-vestigation when we were trying tobring the crooked White Sox playersto trial. The American League ac.compltsbed that alone, and there was4 lot of work to it.

“The facts of this later scandal jmust be exposed, and all the guiltyones punished or the game of baseball 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 ofcrooked base ball this season, not in'he American League, but plenty ofit elsewhere. Not many people knowit, but conditions on the Pacific Coasthave been rotten this season. Most ofthe sure thing gamblers who weremixed up in the scandal of 1919 arenut there operating I found that asmuch as 6100,000 had been bet on asingle game In I.os Angeles.

“You know as well as I do, and thepublic knows, that Jimmy o’Conneirsstory rings with truth. There cer-tainly were others Involved in thatattempt to bribe an opposing playerto throw a ball game. The thingshould have been thoroughly cleanedup right there. The Giants shouldnex-er have been allowed to go intothe world series, hut was con-tent to banish two players, one ofwhom confessed. He simply hushedup the scandal, and by so doing hasprotected the real culprits.

"1 could not work with Landis incleaning up thin mess. It must bedone by unbiased parties. Landisseems to be very close to McOrawand the New York ball club. I can-not see where I could get resultsworking with him.”
