 At their hotel this morning Mrs. Babe Ruth said her husband would attend today's game and was hopeful that the champion home run swatter was as confident as ever that his team would win the worlds championship.
 By Sid Mercer
 New York, Oct 11-An anomalous situation is presented today in sec saw ti1ting for the worlds baseball championship.
 The Yankees lead by one game and need only two more victoreS to win the series The Giants must capture three of the next four games to slave off defeat
 Yet, cold, calm consideration of the pitching prospects give the National League champions no worse than an even break in concensus of expert opinion
 That is because Manager Huggins ! is forced to gamble on Harry Harper as his pitcher today, while McGraw counters with Jess Barnes, a 'slabbist who has already won a decision over the American Leaguers.
 If the Giants tie it up again today Sthe issue narrows down to a third set of pitching duels between Mays and Douglass, Hoyt and Nehf. A possible complication is the starting of Pat Shea against either Harper today or Mays tomorrow. That might force Mays to come back tomorrow against Barnes or Toney and with only one days rest, giving Phil Douglas a two day vacation before hooking. him up with Hoyt.
 So far the rival baseball managers have maNoeuvered their pitchers ac- cording to baseball Hoyle, so it is fairly certain that the sixth game will start with Harper and Barnes as tthe tosserS- Should the Yankees get away with this game, McGraw may i be forced to call on Douglass again | tomorrow. He can hardly afford to start Toney or Shea with ultimate de- feat in the series staring him in the face.
 McGra;w still holds the edge in pitchers but may lose it today. Yes Eterday's game was eagerly sought by both leaders because it meant the breaking of tie and a decided ad- vantage for the Giants if they won So the best available pitchers were again sent to the firing line and Arthur Nehf again drew a defeat
 Nehf is being sacrificed under cir FcumstaRces that must be most dis dressing to him. He allowed three fHtS in one game and six in another, vet lost both times because he was ar rayed against a better pitcher. Doug las had the same experience up to the eighth inning of Sundays game when the long awaited break crowned him given the Giants the best there is in ' him and they have scored one un- earned run for him in IS innings
 Had he drawn any other opponent than, Hoyt Nehf would have been one of the heroes of the series.
