Giants. In 1915 three home runs de-
cided the final game of the series and
gave the championship to the Boston
Americans. Duffy Lewis contributed
one of the homers, Harry Hooper the
other two. The score was 5 and 4.
In 1920 Elmer Smiths hit with the
bases filled against Grimes, the star
pitcher of the Brooklyn club, was the
turning point in the game and series.
Home runs therefore have figured
in every series in which the games
have been played in a park with a
short right or left field fence. That
is the case in New York, Cleveland
and at both Philadelphia parks. Since
all the games of 1921 are to be played
at the Polo grounds, which has a
short right and left field boundary, 7
look for the home run to be in EVIL
dence, and that does nc. necessarily
mean that Ruth will do the swatting.
There are anv number of PLAYERS on
both the Yankees and the, Giants ca
pable of turning the trick
However. there is no denying that
the New York Americans would feel
greately the loss of Ruth, if an in
jury prevented his playing Ruth is
the punch OF the club. When he is
hitting, it seems contagious When
he is in a slump, the club plays as if
depressed by the fact.

NEW YORK. Oct s. New York
plunged into sea of baseball argu-

vided itself for a rooters war when
the Yankees and Giants meet in world
series combat at the Polo Grounds
Wednesday.
On the subways, the elevated, the
busses and in surface cars and hotel
lobbies-everywhere- baseball fans
were debating the respective merits
of the various players. Whether the
speed and resOurcefulness OF the Gil
ants can overcome the punching pow
er of the Yankees is one of the big
points at issue. Yankee rOOters eX-
pect big things of Babe" Ruth.
Meanwhile the offices of the oppos-
ing clubs were making final prepare

the Giants headquarters. all the tick

about McGraw's pitching selection for
the opening game.

home runs than they do during the
ordinary game 1t is always custo-
mary to pass the home run hitter

1t is a certainty that Babe Ruth
will draw many an intentional base
on balls during the coming series of

men on and the Giants In the lead.
That is good baseball
There is a chance that Ruth may
not do the many great things the
public expects of him. In a pinch he
is going to be passed. When the
Giant pitchers elect to work on him,
there is sure to be nothing at stake.
At such times Ruth is going to look
at the very best the Giants pitchers
Can offer. Ruth hates to disappoint.
He will certainly try his best to come

Billy Evans Writes impress
sions of Ruth and What
Value His Hits Have
BY BILLY EVANS
Worlds Greatest Baseball Authority

p
NEW YORK, Oct. ;. - What is the
value OF home run hitter in world
series2 viii Babe Ruth play as big
role in the coming clash between
the Yankees and Giants as is general
" expected?
What part has. home runs played
in deciding the outcome of world Sc
ries games? Has any world series
been won largely through the medium
OF some players ability to hit home
runS2
Would the chances of the New York
American league club be seriously
handicapped if Ruth shouNi suffer an.
injury that would keep him out of the
world series? How much does the
presence of Ruth in the lineup mean
to the Yankees? When he is in
batting slump does his failure TO hit
have any bearing on the rest or the
team?
These and a score of. other ques-
tions have been fired at me when IL
was apparent that the New York
Yankees and the great Babe Ruth
would be the American league rep
resentative in the world series. The
ordinary series offers enough topics
for conversation, but when the out
standing figure in baseball, Babe Ruth
is listed among the performers, it
makes the annual clash all the more
interesting.
Many Intentional Passes
Ordinarily, home run hitters have
not played an extremely important
hole in many of the world series. 1t
is apparent that the value of a slug
ger would be more evident over "A
campaign of 154 games than in short
series of nine contests. 1t is also a
