|ANKEES' MANAGER
HAPPY BUT CAUTIOUS
Higgins Says Second Victory Gives
Him More Freedom in Plan
ming Games.

New York, Oct. 7.-"Don't count
your base hits before they are made
said Miller Higgins after yesterdays
game. The Yankee manager, while
pleased at the second victory over the
Giants, was as cool as if his team
had won only an ordinary ball game
instead of a world S series contest. He
was just as confident as the Yankee
players seemed to be that they would
take the pennant, but he was cautious
in his comment on what was to come
today, tomorrow and during the rest
of the series. ...
Winning two games, of course, is
quite an advantage in any worlds
series,' Higgins said. Il have little
more freedom of action and choice in
selecting my pitchers and drawing up
my plan of campaign, but the Giants
are still in the running. I'm not for
getting that in the 1917 series, Nc
Graws team lost the first two games
and then got back on even terms with
the White Sox by taking the next two.
This may happen in the present series,
and again it may not. That's as far
as l go as a prophet.
Pitching such as Hoyt showed yes
terday was about as good as any 1 re-
member in worlds series contests. He
got into a number Of holes and lost his
control slightly on several occasions,
but he was good enough to get past
the tight places and that is the test of
a pitcher. 1 certainly have nothing
to complain about in the pitching line
so far and the Giants have also show
ed slab work that would beat nearly
any team except the Yankees as they
have played in the first two games.
THE defensive play OF the Yankees
yesterday pleased me as much as the
pitching. McNally, Ward, Peck and
Pipp all played up to the hilt every
minute and Ward especially had one
iof the busiest days OF his career.
Ruth didn't have much chance to get
in swing, but played great game
on the bases. The whole team is go
ing along just as I expected it would
after the form it showed in the race
down the American league stretch"

ANDY and HARPER
TO Bowl FOR Purse
Two Of COnneCtiCut'S Best Duck
pin Men Matched for 5000 Purse

What is expected to be one of the
big bowling attractions of the season
Is scheduled to open next wednesday
night at Rogers Recreation Alleys,
when Eddie Anderson the local star,
meets Joe Harper in the first match
of IS game series for $100 a side.
Little need be said of the prowess of
either of these two men. Harper will
be rem EN- bered for his sterling work
in the Connecticut Duckpin tourney
last winter. when he finished within
the prize money. He is consistent
performer on the alleys. Anderson. IS
probably bowling better just now than
ever before. His recent scores in the
New Britain-Waterbury games, were
wonderful and his mark of over $50
rolled in the games in this city against
the Brass City five, is believed to be
state record. Anderson will have
plenty OF hackers in the Harper match
and in view of the fact that the Water
bury bowling fans never leave homo
with an empty pocketbook, there
should be plenty doing next Wednes-
day.
In q match game last night at
Rogers alleys, the Hartford Opticians
defeated the New Britain Options
team three straight games.

said John NcGraw, manager of the

game. THE second game was simla

able to hit HQyt's- pitching, and. as

it can't hope to win ball games.
II am anything but discoura ged
Nor do the Giant players feel that thew
cannot overcome the Yankees lead
and still grab the long end. of the Sc

the worlds title to the Yankees until
the matter has been definitely settled
on the playing field. I still believe
that we will pull through and the
players are of the same opinion.

GIANT FRISCH IS
BEST OF BA7TERs
Leads All Others Thus Far

Babe Ruth has some ideas of his
own about what Is news. The most
snapped man of the series thought
enough pictures of him had been taken
yesterday when he was asked to pose
for the hundred and first time during

Ruth Springs New One.
Here, why not take picture Of

hitter It was a new idea for the
photographer and he complied with
Babe holding up the inside of his out
f1elder's mitt close TO the lens. The
glove is far from handsome. It is an
old one, black and greasy, with hole
in the middle Of the padding in the
palm Of it. But Ruth likes it and
wouldn't trade for the best new glove
on the market.
Mays and Hoyt, the two winning
Yank pitchers are tied for first place

! has one hit to his credit for an average

each, are tied for second place with
1856.
In contrast to the Yank pitchers,

Ruth aroused the special tors in the
fifth when after drawing pass he
stole second and on the next ball pitch

home in the eighth was executed after
the manner of Mike McNally's theft

decided to make the threat good.
II told Fewster Coaching at third)
to tell them 1 was coming in," Meusel
said. The coacher wigwagged to the
Yank bench and even ran up to whis-

bat. Then having impaired all this
information, Meuse1 tore home as
Nehf wound UP fors the pitch, Smith
muffed the throw-a passed ball. But
the stolen base counted and so did the

There's nothing to it. its a cinch,''
was Babe Ruth's comment after the
game. He didn't do much with the
bat, mostly because he didn't have a
chance. He walked to first three
times, but he did steal two bases, sec
ond and third. all in the same inning
the f1fth-and nearly all in the same
moment.
Mike McNally, base stealing hero
OF the first game showed what he could
do in the field yesterday. His two
chances, both hit at exceedingly fast

them starting a double play.
