1rAyE you ever seen a Kansas
II cyclone in mid-se form with a
non to its fast oneE
The stage setting is usually cloud
,,s, heaven, where narrowing moment
:, ENDLESS silence is followed by a
..,rd;np. crashing roar that indicates
No massage Of houses and barns from
are county to another, with the air full
- ,recs and people leaving the scene
A. lofty attitudes. much after the man :
.sr Of wind blown leaves.
1rst ne the ambitious Yanks were In

s;.,orv one Of these funnel shaped
.vclones from Circleville. Kan, came

snd blew the red tin roof from above
.h,ir aching heads, leaving them to the
mercy of the pitiless elements that ragged
without.

number Of unseemly twists that have
haunted the series up to date.
Ruth Missed BY Crowd
Whoever wins, Giants and Yankees
have proved at last that you can pu
an "Hamlet'' without Hamlet
%othello" minus the Moor, Horatiu
uitbout the bridge. or "Uncle Tom!
Cabin" without an Uncle Tom or
Bloodhound in the cast.
But as the poet said:
"Sometking is gone thdt should o'
The azure from the summer sky,
A loss in all familiar things,
OF forcr that blooms or bird ha
sings,
But eren more than this J sigh, ,
The mighty mace that Babe Ruh
SiCingS.'
You can put 'em on and get zen
over, but the big thrill fades. For tw'
or three innings yesterday the as
sembled flock may have forgotten RutI
in the dizzy whirl of home runs tha
bubbled or dribbled over one fence o
another in record procession, with T.
Meusel. Snyder and Fewster working a
the guns. But after the lull had ar
rived the crowd missed the familia
limp and the bandaged arm and tn
vast shadow that fell atnwart hom
plate or left field spaces.
They missed the pacby.derm on grey
hound legs, the cove who swings tn
hammer of Thor and runs on til
winged feet Of Mercury. They misse
the man who can hammer q home ru
one day, beat out q bunt the next an
then score from first on two base hi
while reeling along on half a leg
carrying more weight than Man @
War could handle.
Fewster Initiates Bambino
How would the Prussians have tel
while storming Liegc or Namur to fin
when Action Front was ordered tina
Big Bertha had rolled into ditch wit
its breechlock blown apart? II W
hadn't been fed upon the Ruthian thri
Il would have all been different, but tn
crowd through the closing innings real
lied at last just what 1t means to hav
another cast an alien shadow upon. tn
bleak. bare scene. For all that, Chic
Fewster is a remarkable impersonatol
Chick was sent In for the mangled Babe
and to carry out the idea he hit HON
run, walked twice and then struck OH,
IL this isn't initiating the Bnmbino'
