RUTH OUT0F
SERIES With
INJURED ARM?

New York, Oct. S.-tBy United
Press Am infected elbow was ex-
pected to keep the famous Babe
Ruth out of the Yankee lineup in
today's world series game.
He spent a restless night and
was in great pain. I don't think
there is a chance that he will be
able to play today" Mrs. Ruth told
the United Pres
Mrs. Ruth had spent p sleepless
night caring for her husband.
DR.. George David Steward said:
From Mr. Ruth's condition last
night, l would advise against him
playing today. His arm was badly
infected, and even in the event he
should play it would be very pain
full for him
Ruth's left arm was injured in
the final game of the Cleveland
series two weeks ago. He slid into
second and tore the flesh from his
elbow. Little was thought of the
injury until the arm began to swell
yesterday. 1t became so painful
that after he walked in the eighth
inning he was replaced by Chick
Fewster.

seen i'm his first workout OF tne
wear at the directing post. Pearce
is a dangerous man in receiving
nunts. possessing almost uncanny
ability to hold twisting, difficult
spirals, and then eludeS tacklers
almost upon him.
Pete Stinchcomb, all-American
halfback at Ohio State university
in 1920, was expected to join the
Staleys Yesterday, according to De-
catur papers. His failure to arrive
sooner has been more or less dis
appointing, as it is feared he can
not get into condition and learn the
plays we'll enough for Rock Island
Without doubt, however, he will be
seen against the Independents Mon
day. Manager George Halas pro-
poses to use Stnchcomb at quar-
terback along with Pearce.
That HaIas fears the Independ-
ents is shown by the fact OF him
holding practices twice daily. 1t
seems the Staleys have not had the
training desired prior to this week
and Halas is attempting to whip
them into some sembIance of shape
for the conditioned Independents.
Chick" Harley, former Ohio
State alI-AmeTican, who a few
years ago commanded about the
choicest space on the sport pages
of nearly every daily paper, is the
real hope of the Staleys, if anyone
happens to inquire. His presence
alone is sufficient to turn the bal
ance of favor, so far as wagering
is concerned, to the side of the
Starchmakers.
Several hundred Rock Island fans
will leave today and tomorrow for
Decatur TO be in at the important
dOings. Many of these are legion

Can he duplicate the feats of stars

In 1909 Wagner stole second
three times in the third game of the
series. In the fifth game Honus
went to first when he was hit by

then third. By this time the pitch

him into throwing the ball over the

scrambled home.

GIANTS BATS
CRACK RECORDS
OF BIG Event
HOPE Born Anew by Reason Of
Overwhelming Slaughter Of
the Yanks.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

Omitted Press Staff Corespondent)
New York, Oct S.-With hope
born anew and determination resur-
rected, the New York Giants had
their heads up today.
The National league champions,
having evaded the mystic eye of the
New York Yanks yesterday, were
convinced that hope for the base
ball crown still is in their grasp.
John McGraw's bunch of Giants
had reasons for the perceptible
swelling beneath their shirt bosoEns.
In their utter route of the Ameri-
can league title holders yesterday,
the Giants broke three worlds ser
les records.
Frank Frisch, the real big hero OF
the series with a batting average of
700, scored twice in the same in
ming; Pep Young, the diminutive
plant of the Texas sands, hit a
double and a triple in the same in
ming, and the Giants smacked eight
safeties and dented the plate eight
times in one inning, the great
est carnage in the history of the an
nual diamond classic
Prospects of the Yanks were not
as bright as they went to line for
the fourth battle of the hectic ser
les. Babe Ruth, the power of them
and the inspiring spirit of the team,
probably will not be in the lineup.
He is out with an infected elbow
and his loss will be severely felt.
TOday'S game is expected to draw
10000 fans and contribute more to
the record attendance being estab
lished daily. There were $500 in
the stands yesterday and they paid
Sis, 007 to see the battle. For the
three games the total paid attend
ance is 101, 651, and the receipts
$685., 292, of which the players get
S172, 52902. The players share yes
terday was more than 100000
To keep the jump on the Giants,
Miller Higgins, the sawed off man
ager of the Yanks, today was ex-
pected to call on Carl Mays, whose
underhand slants knocked off the
Giants in the first game. Harry
Harper, the lone southpaW of the
camp, however, may get the call,
if he is right.
"Shufflin" Douglas. the long
mountaineer, is considered as a
sure starter for McGraw.
Ruth's absence will necessitate a
change in the Yank lineup and a
possible shift in the batting order.
Either Chick FeEster or Bobby
Roth will patrol the garden in place
of the champion slugger, and Fews-
ter will lead off instead of Miller
if he is substituted.

early tomorrow morning and at
4:40 tomorrow afternoon, which
gives plenty of opportunity to ar
rive in Decatur long before game
ed by IL O'Clock in the night if the
afternoon train is used.
without doubt, the game will
prove one of the greatest grid at
fractions ever staged in Decatur.
Because of the fact that it is the
feature of the American Legion's
entertainment program. thousands
of the spectators will be there from
all parts of the state. The people Of
Decatur are considerably wrought
up over the approaching conflict
also, leaving little room for doubt
that the forecast of 5000 admis-
si0ns will not be reached.
Staley field, where the game viii
be played, has been transformed
into an area capable of seating this
number Special bleacher seating
was obtained from the University
of Illinois. Prices have been an
nounced at $1.65 and $2.75, includ-
ing war tax. The lower price ad-
mits the purchaser to any place in
the park other than to the reserved
chairs, of which there are $50. A
portion of tie field has been reserv-
ed for legion men only.
The game will follow the parade
of delegates, which is scheduled TO
start at 1 o'clock. The line of
march will be comparatively short
and will end at the gates of the
park, leaving the former soldiers
no alternative than to file through
the gates.
Jimmy Nuss, former Moline box
er, who was matched to battle Goats
Doig of Spring Valley at Kewanee
Oct. IL, was forced to cancel the
bout because of an injured arm.
Tommy Comiskey, great ST. Paul
weller, is being sought to fill the
place. Comiskey defeated Doig
handily on the occasion of their
meeting in Rock Island once. Tom
my has not done any boxing for
several months, however, due to a
tender nose that has undergone the

TASTE OF BLOOD
BRINGS TROUBLE
FOR THE YANKS
Giants Prepared for
More Mon-Eafine
Today
BY HAROLD D. JACOBS.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct S.-The Giants,
the most ferocious man-eating
worms, were all set today to do
some more turning.

start McGraw's worms running
amuck. The manner in which the
Yankees had twice stepped on them
in the world series constituted the
injury
The club unit, by the way the

Once a herd of poor. downtrod-
den, broken birdie worms

trouble for the Yanks.
1t will take some pretty heavy
treading to grind them into sub
mission again.
While Higgins parade of pitch
ers-it took them two hours and
SO minutes to pass a given point
yesterday-didn't appear to have
much in the way of assorted curves
and fast balls and such, it is de-
batable if a composite of Amos
Rusie, RUDE Waddell and Christy
Mathewson could have induced the
Giants to cease firing. They were
made clean through, and the only
way they had of venting their
wrath was to bust that old ball,
and gosh how they busted it

tween the Indians and Dodgers
there were only three stolen bases
in the seven games. In the series
of 1916 one base was stolen by each
team, duplicating the record made
in the series the year before.
Compare that to the 1907 series
between the Cubs and Detroit when
runners stole 25 bases. Or the ser
les two years later when "a pilfer-
ed sacks were registered.
How come? Pitching?
In the heyday of base stealing,
when the players were running
riot on the sacks, they were facing
such pitchers as Mathewson,
CoOmbs, Vanguard and other greats,
whose performances in the box have
stood Unequaled.
1t isn't pitching. 1t is simply
better knitted teamwork among the
contenders for the world title. The
teamwork has frightened up and the
boys who fit around the second and
the third sack work in better under
standing with the catchers.
