second game of the world series to-
day with brand new reputation to
sustain-greased lightning wi h
brains. Until they flashed their

The Yankees probably never played

was fiawless.
Gone was the slashlng, tearing at
tack that had carried them to the
American League championship.
Gone was the system of forcing run
ners around the lines by sheer pow
er of base hits. The hit-and-run
was replaced by the safe and sane
sacrifice. the extra wallop by the
well placed single and how those
Yanks ran basesl

What's Easiest job on
Team? FTiSch Tells
BY BOB DORMAN.
hose lob Is the easiest2

Whose JOB Is the easiestf
Always the other fellows, to hear
the average human being tell it.
But Frank Frisch, star third base
man OF the New York Giants, is not
an average man.
Third base Is generally conceded
to be one OF the hardest baseball
positions to play. Star third base
men are rare birds.
Yet Frisch says the catcher has
the hardest job on the ball club.
There's no argument to IT," he
says.
"He is on the receiving end OF
every ball pitched.
"He must be alert for bunt
dumped in front of the plate.
If there are men on bases. he
must not only watch his own end
that they do not steal on them, but
must aid the pitcher and basemen
in watching the runners.
"The position he is compelled TO
take in receiving is a tiresome one.
and awkard. but he must be abe
to go after fouls and bunts quickly.
Catching the runner at the plate
Is more difficult than on bases, be-
cause the batter has to be avoided.
why, the catcher has to be al
most a whole ball club in himself
"And the best proof that they ac-
quire a wider experience OF the
game than the other players, is that
so many Of them become managers
after their receiving days are over.
But ask the fans OF Gotham who
is the hardest working member OF
the Giants. and the answer wouiC
be almost unanimous.
Frank Frisch."

MAY GET BALLOT
Senator Ball to Give Hear
ings for and Against
Franchise
FAVOR DELEGATE
TO SIT IN HOUSE

Special to The Evening Journal.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. oct. g.
Whether the people Of the District
of Columbia will obtain the cleo
tive franchise depends largely upon
the position which Senator L. Heis-
Ter Ball. Of Delaware win take on
the subject. The Senator so far is
but it is understood
that he will favor the election to
Congress of a voteless delegate to
look after the interests Of the Ma
tional Capital.
AS chairman OF the committee on
District Of Columbia affairs, SEND
tor Ball is in close touch with lead
ing citizens of Washington. There
is a strong sentiment both for and
against giving residents OF the cap
ital the right to vote in Washington
Senator Ball has decided to give
a hearing to both sides on the sub
ject. If the hearings should de-
velop strong sentiment for some
form Of suffrage, Senator Ball may
recommend to Congress some legis-
lation enabling the people to get
their wishes. But there is as yet an
absence of enthusiasm among adj
vocates of the extension OF the
elective franchise to the people Of
this city.
Il wouldn't surrender my political
rights in Delaware for a seat in
Congress as the representative OF
the people of Washington" a wo-
man from Delaware said. II don't
know of any person from our little
State who would not take the same

AS HOLD BEST
RECORD FOR WORLDS
SERIES BATTING

The highest batting average by a
team in the World Series games
since 1906 was made by the Athletics
in the series of 1910 against the
Chicago Cubs. Connie Mack's or
ganization of youthful stars batted
.317 in that year. sc points better
than the Cubs.
II is a significant fact that the
pennant- winning Cub teams of other
days we're great batting organiza-
tions, and in all their Worlds
Series, excepting that OF 1910, they
outhit their opponents. This was
noticeable in the 1918 series against
the Red Sox. and. although the Cubs
lost, they batted. as a team. .21O
against the Sox 1856. The Sox
felded remarkably in the series,
however, having only one error
chalked against them. with a field
ing average Of .996. This. by the
way. was the best fielding perform
ance Of any team in a Worlds
Series since 1905.
