New YORK. Oct. 6,--Can the Giants

as moot question among worlds
series fans as that Of whether they
can halt Babe Ruth. lie took his
place with Ty Cobb in the hail OF
base ball no,ables by stealing home
in worlds title game. The De-

the 1909 series against Pittsburgh.
McAally made the steal in the
fifth inning yesterday after he had
reached third on his double and

single and double. and, i'll addition

That figure did stand alone for

But it's an absolute certainty that
the existing record of S722,4l4 will

that the mark of $722,4l4 will be

Meusel Brothers

New York, Oct. 6.-The whole
Meusel family is sure to have a good
Thanksgiving dinner, but the ques-
ton Of who will foot the bill remains
an issue between the two brothers,
Emil and Bob, to be settled by their
batting in the worlds series.
Emil, the elder of the two, left
fielder for the Giants and National
league batting star, let it be known
today that he had proposed to
brother Bob, the hard-hitting Yam
kee right fielder, little series of

least hits in the series to supply the
dinner for the whole Meusel family
next month. The younger Meusel
willingly accepted.

Declaring that everything broke
right for the Yankees, Manager Nc
Graw admitted he was greatly dis
appointed at the result of the first
game.
"But defeat on the first day does
not mean defeat in the SERIES" he
said. They did not quite rise to
