FOR FIRST CONTEST

American Legion football practice
was held Wednesday night at the
South Tenth street park the men
are rapidly rounding into condltlon LOT
the first game of the season when
probably will be played at Hamilton
oct. is. This will give the legion
bows one more Sunday morning prac-
tice and the team should be IN good
condition for the game.
Owing to the fact that many or the
service men are not turning out tor
the team it has been decided TO give
any man in the city try out Tor ne
team.
Wednesdays practice consisted oil
signal work and getting the men &C
uuainted with the plays. Several new
PLAYS were tried out by the squad ana
proved TO be very good.
Bob Davis, member of last year
high school football team, Will be
given a tryout with the legion boys
and should prove very valuable in the
ex-soldiers line Another practice
probably will be held Friday night IN
the South Tenth street park.

10y ASSOCIATED fIeSSl
NEW YORK, Oct. GIVE are on
our way and we won't be stopped
Manager Higgins, of the Yankees.
I'VE are going to win. I feel con-
ddent of disadvantages McGraw, of
the Giants.
These predictions Of the rival man
ayers before the second game of the
worlds series, were backed up by the
players on the respective teams.
There is joy in the Yankee camp, yet
no gloom in the Giants stronghold.
Speaking Of the first game OF the
series, Manager Higgins said his club
played great ball.
With remarkable pitching by Carl
Mays and brilliant defensive work by
Peckinpaugh, who played the game of
his career, we clearly had the edge"
he said The boys were in there
fighting hard-determined to win
and showed lot of stuff which the
general public probably thought they
could not fash. They had not only
ability to hit and fine pitching, but
they had more speed than the fastest
club in the National league.
Giants Play Fast.
THE Giants played a fine game and
Douglas deserved a lot Of credit but
they simply could not hit Mays
want to give credit to Frisch. He is
a natural hitter and a streak on the
bases. We viii have to look out for
that boy all the way
Declaring that everything broke
right for the Yankees, Manager Nc
| Graw admitted he was greatly disap-
pointed at the result of the first
game.
But deftat on the first day does not
mean defeat in the SERIES, he said.
Sound Warning.
They did not quite rise to the oc-
casion in the field and they certainly
fell down with the bat. II was a day
such as l feared and such as followed
most of our days of idleness during
the season. Every time we got a day
off the team was more to slump. But
| it always came back strong. SO look
out for the Giants today.
Douglas pitched good ball-that
was one consolation And Mays did
not deserve a shut-out. There were a
lot of little things here and there
which would have changed the game
Immediately but they did not come
our way. And we are not going to cry
about it.
| The boys were little short in pepaer
but they fought gamely-as they
fought all through a hard season
That team of ours is a great and
powerful one. It's one of the greatest
which ever played in worlds series
and it is going to make a lot of trouble
for the Yankees"

II cost Tillinghast Huston and
Jacob Rupert about $1,000 to gather
into their little selves close to $2,ooo,
900 in lucious profits and garner worid
series honors.
And the end amt yet.
Three years ago Harry Frazee found
he couldn't get along any longer WIN
the Busting Bambino whose baptfsmai
name is George Herman Ruth. IL
seems that the Busting Bambino want
ed a mild hoist in his $4,000 wages and
Frazee, in the usual Frazee fashion
passed out the fishy glare and thun-
dered; mo, no.
THAT being the case" responded
the noble cracker of pitching hearts,
81 either quit the dear old national
game and get myself lucrative truck
driving job-or you trade me else
where. All of which means that thee
ard me, dear Harry Frazee, is done,
quite done, eternally done.
Announces Ruth for Sale
Frazee realizing that them woids OF
the Busting BAN bino were the woids
of uncomfortable will, announced to
the world:
"Ruth's for SALE
Thereupon quite a few baseballins
clubs put in bid for him. Up &c
that moment $4,000 was regarded az
ian enormous sum- TO be paid fol
baseballers. So most Of the bids were
around that mark But the owners OF
the Yanks figured up the cash bal
ance, and then said:
"One hundred and thirty thousand
dollars"
sold" shrilled FraZee.
And so it was that George Herman
Ruth became a Yankee in the spring
time of 1920.
Almost everybody who was anybody
in the baseballing universe pondereC
over the $4,000 layout and ex
claimed:
