 T HERE is a contrast to the holiday A atmosphere as one passes into the dark and damp underground way out of the great depot. A chill strikes upon the soul as well as upon the body. The passer hurries on to escape into the light and cheer of the street. He hugs his Christmas packages a little closer and tries to whistle him. self into something like gayety.
 Suddenly he Is startled and helped by the tones of a merry tune and dis covers the old blind man who has long haunted the dismal place. For years this unfortunate has made 1t his one business to stand there and pipe up the failing spirits of travellers. His face has refused the marks of dark ness and his soul has kept gladness behind its closed and curtained win dows. AS one stops to leave a token and a word of appreciation with him he says, Thank you; don't know as ever did anybody any good; some people don't like It."

Two breaks tossed away the third

Ward admitted when he came into the

Betting Turns in Favor of

NEW YORK, Oct. . Gloomy

and position of the New York Yankees
who have failed to win game yet in
the world s series battle with the New
York Giants and who have used up
their three best pitchers. The Giants

terday was taken by critics to have
been the big break of the series. The
Giants were a to ! favorite in the
betting today to win the championship.
With II team that inclined to curl up
yesterday under n few bad breaks and
with Bush, Shawkey and Hoyt already
used, Miller Huggins was up against
a tough proposition to keep the Yamks
from kicking away another world s
championship.
After the exhibition of the Yanks

farmer, gets a look at a new contract
Scott has been with the Giants for
three months. He drew his pay on 4
game basis. When lac won, he got
some money and when he lost he just
wasted an afternoon.
Being the outstanding star of the
series and the pitcher who seems to
have assured the Giants of another
world s championship, he no doubt will
see better sum on tne new contract
that the 81, 400 he was getting when
the Cincinnati Reds gave him the all

he nursed so well that he jumped into

Bad feeling between the Giants and
the Yanks, which did not creep above
the surface in the series last year, b.
came evident in yesterdays game when
Babe Ruth crashed into Heinie Groh
at third base and Knocked the Giant
star head ad-over-heels. Babe later told
Groh he was squariny up Tor an incl
dent in the first game when Groh went
into Erin Ward at second base with
his spikes up in the air.
The Giant dugout razzed Ruth so
much that he went into the National

game and wanted to clean out the
place. Some of the Giants kidded the
babe out of his bad humor and trouble
was avoided.
Some of the most ardent admirers
of the Yankees were beginning to
forsake the cause today. They charged
the team with lacking courage and with
