No Long ats
L or Tickets to
These Clashes
Theory Is That Fact the
Metropolis Can't Lose Is
Cutting Into Excitement

Interest in the near-cxcitement at
the Polo Grounds is of such mild
and open-ninded variety that there
arc not many New Workers who will
take to smashing the family furniture
if the Giants lose: nor will the Yankee
rooters feel it incumbent on them to
hurry to the nearest bridge for the
purpose Of seeking solace in death. No
matter which team wins, the worlds
championship stays in New York.
This probably Is one reason why it
is possible to saunter up TO the box
Offices at the Polo Grounds about two
minutes before the umpire suggests
that the game begin and purchase
tickets.
Those who might have attended the
first days game undoubtedly were de-
TERED from doing SO by the belief that
the crowd would be so large that they
would not have chance to get in. The
Polo Grounds we're comfortably filled
yesterday for the second game but
still, even though the number Of va
cant seats at the first game had been
announced to the world, there was even
less of waiting crowd than on the
first day.
Not more than fifty persons passed
the night before the gates. Many Of
these all night walters maintained
their posts in the hope of selling their
places in line. 1t is not recorded that
their endurance was rewarded.
Not more than 1,500 persons we're
in line at both the Speedway and the
Eighth Avenue entrances when the
gates were opened at 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning. 1t did not take long
for them to pass through the gates.
From then until the time for the game
to start the crowd came in a steady
stream that at no time clogged any
OF the entrances.
Even the police detail under charge
Of Inspector Cornelius Cahalane had

trolmen and mounted mon in all

Seventh Avenue, were caught trying
to smuggle into the grounds. Mullen
had come equipped with long rope.
He calmy lassoed a projecting board
and was about to haul himself over
when a patrolman nterfered.
There was an absence of overcoats
and sweaters. Ticket SPECTATORS were
growing over the Gin justice" Of world
series games between home teams.
Coogan's Bluff had it's gallery. Ten
thousand persons gathered thare to see
what they could see.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-07

IL VIII be recalled that McGraW
called just such meeting about six
weeks before the close of the recent
pennant race just after the Giants had
been beaten badly By the Cardinals.
On the following day, the team took on
new lease of life and broke into q
marvellous squirt that carried them to
the championship OF the league. They
promise to flash just such reversal
of form in the third game Of the series
this afternoon
The faces of the players bore a
serious look after the game, but it was
not one OF encouragement. They well
realize that they Will have to fight hard
and that they will have to play al the
very top Of their form if they hope TO
gain the decision over their American
League rivals. Unless they can gain
the victory to-day, they will be under
the tremendous handicap of having to
win five of the remaining games to
capture the worlds championship.
Giants Wanting in Coolness
One point in favor of the Yankees is
the fact that they seem to be thor
oughly at home in the series, while
the Giants seem to be foundering. The
american League players appear to be
playing in an ordinary set of games,
while their opponents give the impres-
sion that they are under a tremendous
mental and physical strain.
When seen in the clubhouse after the
game McGraw declared that he has not
yet come to the point of being worried
OF discouraged. He admitted that his
team vas outplayed decisively, but he
also declared. and rightly SO, that the
three runs made by the Yankees were
what he termed cheap runs" that is
to say, that they were not made by
clean hitting nor anything of the sort.
but were scored with the help of poor
playing on the part Of the Giants. Nc
Graw declared that he will pin his
hopes to-day il big Fred Toney.
McGraw is firm advocate of the
hit-and-run play. and he rarely orders
his players to use the safe and sane
sacrifice hit Failure to resort to the
sacrifice cost the Giants more than one
opportunity to score a run yesterday.
In the third inning, for instance, Raw
single with one out. Earl Smith, the
following batter, made no attempt to
sacrifice, and went out on a pop fy to
Peckinpaugh. Rawlings advanced no
further, as Nehf famed and Burns
rolled to Peckinpaugh for force play
at second.
Again, in the seventh, Young drew
base on balls with none out. but Kelly
neglected to sacrifice. and Young was
cut down at second on a grounder to
McNally. Kelly also was forced on
New-York tribune., 1921-10-07

then rolled one down TO the Yankees,
second Daseman for the third out.
Batsmen Are Bothered
One of the noteworthy features o.
the first two games has been the very
light hitting on the part OF both teams
Inc GIANTS have only seven hits 20 date
and the Yankees have connected FOR

mas been attributed to the airtight
pltchlng, Tor there is no DENYING the
fact that the four pitchers who have
IaKen prominent parts in the games
nave been remarkably effective. But
th@re Is another very important reason
for the noteworthy absence Of the re
sounding whack of bat against bali and
that is the presence OF the sRarine
throng IN the center field blescners.
During the regular season. as all f,e
quenters of the Polo Grounds know
there IS green screen suspended in
front OF the bleachers, in direct line
with the vision Of the batter at the
plate. This furnishes the batsnan with
solid background and he is able t.
see the speeding sphere more clearly
Now there IS waving mass of human
lty and confusing mixture OF faces
white shirts and apparel of mixed tints
There we're only two clean hits in
yesterdays game and both were sin
giles. One was made by Bob Meuscl
and the other by Frank Frisch. Raw
llngs got the Giants only other hit in
the third inning, when he hit At

just out OF reach of PeckinpaEgh and

ALTA TO-DAY

Worlds Apart" is the title of E.u-
gene O'Brien's latest Selznick Picture
which the Alta theatre viii present as
its principal photoplay attraction for
today.
There are many reasons to believe
that this production will provide a
more than usually enjoyable evenings
entertainment. The first and principal
Cne is. of course, the star himself. and
the announcement that in one series
of scenes in this John Lynch story he
appears at Master of the Hunt and
leads a field of thoroughbreds over the
famous Warrenton Course in Virginia,
should be a source of keen anticipation
to the many admirers OF Eugene
O'Brien.
The story of World Apart" deals
with the bitter disillusionment of a
young man who is only saved from be-
coming a bitter cynic through the
chance meeting with another who has
suffered more than he. They join
forces and the union leads to the un-
tangling of mystery and ultimately
sreat happiness.
