New York, Oct. II.

| Nick Altrock says he never worries
about a pitcher who is wild like Harry
Harper and walks the batters to first. -.
II played in Los Angeles 20 years ago,
I hadn't played ball for a month and the
first day l worked l walked eight men
catching seven Of the eight off first base
~ me the owner came up to
me and shook hands He said, MI Al
trock, you showed US some new. stun to,
day. We've been seeing the old hit ana
run thing out here for years, but your
new stuff was hit.
Letting the players get to first and
then catching them off the bag was great.
Be sure you do that the next time you
pitch. The crowd seemed to like it, !"
At least two more games are neccs-
sary to reach a dec. sion, so the series l@
bound to last until Thursday. 1t VIII
be ended then if either IF ;he teams WINS
even in the next two, tine deciding cor
test will be played Friday. 1t can not
= later than TINT ''ate.
Before the series WAS started Commits
sioner Kenesaw Mountain Landls wno
hal seen both teams play during Jhe
,nttet part OF the seasnH, gave his Judg
1rnt Lh"t they were luqt ted evenly. a q
predicted that the series would 20 at
least eight games. He alrea ~ has been
proved TO De rISOL, Us IL - ll'N VIVIAN -
81 eight games, and possibly nine.
The attendance Is holding up won
CC:funy There were more than %4,OO0
persons at the sixth game of HE series
Ihcto Is much excit sm"nI. now thGt the
G.du;s have tied it again.
Jess Barnes receives credit for winning
the game and he now has the record OF
two victories In the series without having
hua CT Tod
two games and been knocked out OF the
box early each tine, and still Is not
charged with a defeat. for Barnes came
to his rescue on both occasions and the
Giants won out.
Jack Hendricks, manager Of the Indi-
annapolis club, asked Judge lands for
permission 10 engage Art Nehf to pitch
an exhibition game for him In Indian
apoliS either next Sunday or the follow
ing Sunday. Nbut 1t was refused. There
is q strict rule forbidding worlds series
players taking part in exhibitions during
| the fall Carl Mays has received several
offers to pitch In exhibition games and
| he says he will accept them in defiance
i, OF the commission. How he will come
| he carries out this threat, viii be inter
esting to look forward to.
Frank Frisch did not keep up his hit
llNk pace 1 uesuay. IN the DISI luuluE
Harper struck him out on three pitched
balls, with Frank stinsing wildly at
every one and missing by several inches.
| Shawkey also struck him out in the
eighth inning.
Tuesday was the first game in which
Johnny Rawlings has gone hitIesS He
might have been credited with a hit on
his slow grounder to Ward in the fifth
inning, for it was difficult chance, but
the official scorers decided to call it an
error. II was Wards first misplay Of the
series and II was an excusable one.
Manager Higgins did not adhere to his
original intention of placing Schang in
Ruths place in the batting order and
sending Fewster TO eighth position. He
thought 1t to be better to let Fewster
lead Of. Chick surely did his part by
scoring two runs and driving in another
Barnes nearly always helps himself to
victory by his hitting. He is left hand
batter and good one. He made two
clean hits out Of four times ny Tuesday
and one Of them was a big factor IN the
winning rally of the Giants IN the fourth
round. The case Of Barnes shows that
even the smartest managers sometimes
are mistaken. McGraw did not intend
to start him in the series. but has had
to use him twice, and he Is the only
Giant pitcher who has won two games.
y 0
as his strike-out record testifies
Babe Ruth's colony out In the left
field bleachers took Chick Fewster right
into its heart as soon as he made his
home run in the second round. When
lie went back to the field he received an
ovation as big as ever given to Babe
| himself.
The Giants did not behave well on the
bench and two of them had to be chased
by Umpire Moriarity. He put Earl
Smith of the field In the NTH inning
for unfair coaching, and It IS likely that
the turbulent catcher Will draw another
fine as IL Is his second offenge. TE,u
innings later Honus Lobert becans too
enthusiastic and also was decorated with
can. The Yankees have been more
sportsmsnlike than the Giants In every
game.
A remarkable fielding feature was the
small number Of assists on both sides
The Yankee infleld took care Of only two
grounders and Pipp had only two put
outs at first base, which Is a series
record for a first baseman.
George Kelly made three hits in row,
| but one of them was tainted as it was
| an easy grounder straight to Plpp, which
struck a rough spot in the grsss and
! bounced over the first baseman's head to
| right field.
