The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-10-07

jennings I'VE took them during the
regular season and turned many de-
feat into victory. Against such pitch
ing as we have faced thus far there is
no other alternative. We've got some
ideas along that line and maybe
they'll enliven our boys bit
Bob Shawkey, whose queer, clod-
hopping walk and red flannel under
sleeves have been seen in other
worlds series, is most likely to be on
the mound today for the Yanks. Bob
had bad spell in the latter part of
the season and was clouted right mer-
rily by opposing batsmen, but he
found himself before the pennant
scramble was over.
Shawkey has great speed. When be
is in form he is regarded as one of
the finest twirlers in either league,
ranking along with Alexander, Faber,
Shocker, Adams, Mays, Hoyt, ToneY
and Nehf.
Neither of the Giants catchers,
Snyder and Smith have displayed, so
far, any of the sterling backstop quail
tiles with which they had been cred
and short in the fielding end. In yes
terdays game Smith made a bad muff
on Nehf's heave when Meusel was
stealing home. He could have caught
Bob easily. He also made a bad
throw to second when Ruth pilfered
and was slow in sending the ball 10
Frisch when the Babe stole third.
McGraw was expected to switch
back to Snyder today. He had Con-
zales and CASTOR in the second string
and might call one of them if Snyder
continues weak.
Little Wallie Schang, while short in
the batting department, has perform
ed admirably behind the plate for the
Yankees and so far his work has
surpassed that of either of his highly
rated opponents.
Devormer, the sub Yankee catcher
played brilliantly in some late season
games but it is not likely he will get
chance to play in this series. unless
Schang falters, or is hurt.
The Giants will be the home club
today and will switch back to their
natty white uniforms, while the Hug
gins clan will don their visiting gray
and sit in the aliens dugout.
Yesterdays game was all Hoyt
Waite's curve, his slow ball and his
fast breaking drop behaved them
selves admirably.

ager McGraw, as he announced that
the big twirlers would be sent against
the Yankees today in the third game
of the series.
"They have got to win and | be

will win no matter who pitches.

long side became heavy and imme-
diately after the call the market
sagged and after the end of the first
hours trading prices were 20 to 21

Whatever steadiness was shown on
the opening was due to better Liv-
erpool than expected. December rose

Hoyt Evened Score

New York, Oct. 7.-WaIte Hoyt,
youthful pitching hero of the second
worlds series game, was happy today
in the realization of a secret ambi-
tion-to beat the club that turned him
loose on his first venture into the big
leagues.
A mere school boy, just out of Eras-
mus Hall high school, Brooklyn, in
1916, Hoyt was signed by Manager
McGraw, of the Giants, but was quick
ly released to the minors. The Giants
chief sat on the bench yesterday sad
ly watching the cast-off turn the Ma
tional Leaguers back with two scant
hits for 3 to victory.
The young twirleI now only %
years old, was as cool and sure of
himself as Mathewson. "He had
everything, plus" as the experts say
But his father, Ad Hoyt, who had
shared the secret of his sons am
bition, was as excited as Waite tradi-
I tionally should have been. The elder
Hoyt saw his boy win everlasting
fame in basebalPs hall of records and
was one of the first to congratulate
him in the clubhouse after the game.
Surrounded by crowd of fans the
father told and. retold of the boy S
early career so often that he almost
| forgot to go home for supper.
Hoyt, after his release by the
Giants, was sent to the Rochester
N. Y, club, but he didn't stay. He
decided to join the Baltimore Dry
docks instead. Here he was a sensa
ton Later he played with the Mem
| nIIIh of
sociation and from there went to the

John McGraw's Giants will attempt
i today to scuttle the boat in which the
Yankees have chugged two knots to-
wards worlds series triumph.
Though held scorless through two
games. eighteen innings of nerve

Hoyt, McGraw's hearties have by nj
means given up hope. AS exemplifiet
in their regular season games, they
fight to the last ditch and they arr

The Giants have been following thu

games of the series but they will b,

Americans

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Giants
slugged their way to victory in the
seventh when they punched eight hits
for eight runs. The Yanks used three
pitchers in an attempt to stem the
tide but the Giants were hitting their
pace today and could not be stopped.
Up until the seventh inning the game
was evenly fought by both teams, the
score being tied to at the end of
the sixth.

THE pOER

My limbs rejoice in the hurdle;
My thews are strong FOR the test;
MY muscles thrill
TO the singing win
OF the gallant souls behest
Ny feet are made for the running
# leap in the victor's strength;
Beneath my form
The pygmics swarm
When CLEANS the goal at length.
] have my hand on the lever;
] work while the dreamer dreams;
Ny hammer hits
The while he sits
Enthralled by the morning beams.
] give my strength TO the building;
] do what he might have done;
While he desires,
Ny temple spires
Are mounting toward the sun.
! have my hand on the throttle
My eyes on the signals bright.
The speeding track
Looks never back
But forward halls the light.
/ have my pulse in the present,
Ny hopes in the future wide:
The mountain wall
Obeys my call
AS through its door ! glide
Through granite superstition,
Through fortresses Of pride,
Men hew their way
To the light of day
And tunnel ways to ride.
0 you who have drawn the pattern,
And you who have dreamed the plan,
Whose was the will
And whose the skin
That cleared the course for man?
| have my hold on the engine,
The rails rush backward fast.
Men see my spark
Through the streaming dark
And heed the Star at last.
Through creeds built high with terror,
Through huge embodied hate,
Mans dauntless mind
\ way will find
To conquer fear and Fate.
Give way, 0 gates Of darkness!
Give way, o doors of brass!
qell's final wall,
You, too, shall fall
And let the Doer pass!
