EXPECT MUCH FROM
 BIG SERIES GAMES
Fans Anticipate Better Brand ol Baseball Than During Season
--- --------

New York, Oct 2.-Baeball fans expect q better brand of playing in the Worlds Series than is displayed throughout the season and as a gen eral rule their anticipatons ar- 'eal- i2ed, excepting the freak incidents that develop few marvellous plays and a few incredible misplays
 Alright pitching is eNpec,-r Of the pitchers. They are supposed to give few bases on balls, to have absolute control of the ball. and to pitch a masterful "heady' game. The hit ting is supposed in advarce to be sharp and devastating when a battery of swatters opens up--hut above all the fielding is expected to be 1awless.
 Last year there was an average of only one and three -eighths errors a game-five- eighths for the New York Nationals, who won, and three-tourth ths of one error d game for the Yankees, who lost-which is very close to per feet baseball Yet the series was de- cided by misplays on the defense: the Giants won the last two games on errors.
 The Giants offended in only three games and the Yankees in five of the eight, three players on each team ac- counting for all the errors. Frank Frisch, the Giant second baseman, made the majority of the Nationals rnisplays-three out of five. and Earl Smith, catcher and Arthur Nehf a pitcher, each made one of the other two, Frisch's errors were distributed over three days.
 Mike McNally, Yankee third base man, made as many errors as Frisch, though as the series was summed up, beth were bulwarks for their teams. Like tSe Giant second sacker his three missteps were spread over three days. Aron Ward, the Yankee second baseman made two errors in two days and Roger Peckinpaugh, who played 'shortstop, accounted for the other.
 The third was the only game of the series in which neither side was cred ited with an error,
 Ward made fatal misplay for the Yankees in the crucial seventh game after both teams had won three games each. It was in the fourth inning when the score was tied and the Worlds championship was still re- posing in the palm of the gods
 The play was credited as an official error but the chance for an assist and put-out was so palpably easy that vir- tually every description of the game classified the play as Wards failure
 Frisch, the first man up. was out easily at first. Young hit a hard ball toward right field. It appeared that the play would be an easy one for Ward but he luggled the ball, per mitted it to roll about his arm, and Young was safe, stealing second a moment later. Kelly famed but Emil Irish Meusel, came through with the hit that meant a run.
 It was a similar incident that finally decided the championship in the next game, which was won and lost in the first half of the first in ming, the first fifteen minutes of play. Burns, lead-off man of the Giants, was easy picking, but Bancroft and Young were walked, the latter against the protest of Hoyt, who claimed the last ball he pitched was a strike-and many agreed with him.
 At any rate Kelly sent an easy grounder to Roger Peckinpaugh the Yankee shortstop and captain, who permitted the ball to wriggle through his legs and then became so con- cerned by his own errors that he did not go after the ball quickly and the feet-footed Bancroft scored. Young nearly scored from first.
 Despite those two bases on balls a number of the critics credited Hoyt with pitching the best game of the series, and the best game of his career. AS a matter of fact the last two games were pitching duels, the latter between Hoyt and Nehf and the previous one between Mays and Douglas. The scores were two to one in the seventh game and one to nothing in the eighth.
