razzing from some of the customers,
who were on the scene to see knock
out and did not like the decision or
q draw. Last night the Judge ana
the two New York clubs met these
squawks with the announcement that
all the money taken in yesterday had
been donated to funds for disabled
soldiers and various New York charl-
ties. That means that the receipts
for the second game of the world
series-$120,5 ,554-go to worthy causes.
Neither the players, the club owners
nor the commission will get a cent
Of it.
Clubs Give S2O,404.1s Each.
This move hits the club owners
harder than the players. who, as mat
ter of fact, may lose only little. They
still will share in four games. Their
part of the receipts will include the
fifth contest. The two clubs donate
s20,4941S each. That's quite chunk
of money-and the squawkers are
silenced. Judge Landis's official an
nouncement follows:
Under baseball law the umpires
are charged with the sole authority
OF calling game on account OF
darkness. In the exercise OF this
authority to-day's game was called
by them at the end of the tenth in
ming. Many spectators. were of the
opinion that the game might have
continued.
OF course, the umpires on the field
were in a much better position to
Judge conditions and their effect
upon play. But, regardless of any
question whether the decision was
erroneous the two New York clubs
acting for themselves and their
teams, have decided. with the APP
proval of the Commissioner, that the
entire receipts of to-day's game
should be turned over to funds for
the benefit of disabled soldiers, and
charities OF New York city.
KENEsAw MOUNTAIN LANDS,
Commissioner OF BaSeDall.
The Judge had quite busy ten min
utes after Hildebrand had called the
game. Most of the squawkers believed
that the High Commissioner was re-
sponsible for the move and gathered
around his box with questions. He
was courteous to the inquirers, but
many of these soon raised merry rue
tion.
A fan in the upper tier shouted
"Three cheers for Landis." This was
met by a shout from the mob around
Landis. "Robber." The gang took UP
this refrain. You don't need guns to
take the money from the public" yelled
one fan Jesse James !" shouted an
other, and soon there was quite a DEM
| onstration.
Police Escort Lands.
The crowd milled around in front OF
the Judge shouting epithets and when
| the Commissioner started away they
blocked his path and kept up q running
attack The Judge had to be escorted
off the field by a squad of police.
This demonstration no doubt led the
| Judge to suggest to the club owners
that all the receipts for the day be
| turned over to charity.
Until what Col. Tilllnghast B'Hom-
medieu Huston called THE Powers of
| Darkness prevailed over the second
game the thing seemed to be entirely
the property of the Meusel boys from
California. Emil Frederick. the one that
they have dubbed Irish Meusel cleared
the bases in the first inning with the
first home run of the series His drive
carried on a line into the left field
bleachers and the Giants got all their
runs for the day right there. In fac.
1t looked as though that one wallop had
decided the series.
Irish Meusel Is the elder brother in
the Meusel family and his name has
been Hiberniclsed with the consent of
| the owner. He was born In Oakland,
Cal. Shortly thereafter. according TO
baseball tatistics. which are always in
accurate. the Meusel family moved TO
San Jose. Cal. It was in this town. IN
the heart OF the California prune belt,
that Robert Meusel. who Is known In
our set az Lank Bob. was born.
Your correspondent has declared more
than once that Irish Meusel. more than
any player he has ever seen, can hit
when the hits are most needed. Oblig-
ingly. and verifying the oily dope which
your correspondent has had the courage
to send out, Mr., Emil Frederick Meusel,
when he drove out his home run in the
ahead of himself. He did this little
thing to Bob Shawkey, the ex-mariner,
who is known as Bob the Cob, and u
looked like the cinching of ball game
which the Yankees were highly desirouH
of acquiring.
Anent the other Meusei.
III there had been only one tall son
In the Meusel family and no eighth
inning. II would have meant the bau
game. But. II Is true. too. that there
were few other occurrences before
the eighth inning when the score was
tied and Bob Meusel tried to nuiiify
some OF smil's carrying on. For IN
stance, Aaron Ward, who mas p peen
more or less panned got a little home
run all by himself.
At the start OF the eighth the Giants
were leading, to 2. However. as has
been quite flatly stated before the
