responsible for the failure of
Match" Karkus to start in every
game with the Rutgers College quin-
tet, of New Brunswick. He is light
ming fast and a good shot, but too
small for a starter, county seat
critics say.
The local boy has taken part in
two of the games played to date, and
last Saturday in the contest with
Lafayette, contributed a field goal to
the score of his team. Rutgers won
1920.
Karkus played good ball with
different teams in this city during
the past two or three seasons, ana
there is every indication that he
will star with the New Brunswick
college team before his college
career is ended.

held the Giants in check in the last two innings, the nearest to a rally coming in the eighth when Young singled, only to be forced by Irish Meusel., Beaten and hopeless, they went out in order in the ninth.
 Looming alongside the tragic fig ure of Nehf in the Giant disaster was that of Frisch, the "Fordham Flash" who stood out as the brightest all round star of the game. It was Frisch whose remarkable fielding in the first seven innings cut off at least two Yankee hits and seemed to put fresh hope into the breast of McGraw and his men, It was Frisch whose terrific hitting figured in three of the four Giant runs.
 The Giant second sacker made one of the most brilliant defensive plays of the entire series in the fourth when he caught Dugans looping fly in short right field over his shoulder and while running at top speed. He was close to the foul line when he made the catch.
 Again in the fifth he raced toward second to make a marvellous stop of Schang's hot grounder and an equally brilliant throw that Kelly stabbed with one hand.
 Giants Catch Up.
 The advantage Ruths homer into the upper, right field stand had given the Yankees in the first inning was nullified by three successive hits by Groh, Frisch and Young in the Giant half of the inning, the third sacker carrying the run across. A brilliant throw from center by Whitey Witt, however. on Youngs hit cut down Frisch by a narrow margin at third base and possibly checked further scoring, though Irish Meusel famed to end the inning.
 Frisch opened the fourth by beat ing out a pretty bpnt down the first base line that caught the Yankee infield flat-footed. He advanced on Young's infield out and scored on Cunningham's single to right
 Snyder's homer high into the upper left field stands gave the Giants their third run in the fifth inning

and Frisch opened the way for the fourth tally in the sixth inning with booming triple to left center He crossed the plate on Meusefs single but Cunningham and Kelly were easy victims for Pennock.
 Altogether the Giants made ten hits, nine off Pennock and one off Jones, twice as many as Nehf and Ryan allowed. Pennock was far from the brilliance he showed in winning the second game, but he received credit for his second victory because the Giant twirlers could not weather the storm.
 Giant Pitchers. Lost.
 In the final analysis it was the failure of the Giant pitchers that cost the worlds champions their crown-that, plus the fact that the Yankees, on the other hand sup ported steady and at times brilliant twirling with an indomitable re- morseless attack. Outside of Neht, was about to last full game, Me- Graw had no sharp shooters upon whom to rely. And when Nehf went the way of the others at last, it marked a swift and convincing end.
 The Yankees, over the stretch of six games. outplayed their rivals in every department of the game, save pOSS1Dty uelGHSe, anu Hcre lneES was little to choose with Jumping Joe" Dugan of the new champions and Frisch of the Giants as the out standing heroes. Speed, punch and pitching-the fundamentals-all were preponderantly on the side of the Yankees.
 The Yankee speed was not alone of foot and hand, but of brain, and therein Huggins brought about the discontinue of his rival. McGraw, the supposedly master tactician, the master mind" whose battle with brute force" seemed at the start to be the most dramatic feature of the series. Brute force," as typi- fled by Ruth, was triumphant, but because it applied with that quality the other winning requisites.

Crimson EleUen
 Returns To Dixie
 After Big Battle

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 15.-(Spe- cial )-With hundreds of students and the 60-piece band waiting at the station for them, Alabama's Crimson Tide returned to the Capstone Mon day at noon. none disheartened from their 23-O defeat, and none injured to a great extent.
 Anyone at the station may have thought it was the return of the team after glorious victory, and in a way the game was a victory for Ala bama. Holding the strongest team in the east to 23 meager points, which looks big on paper. but very small to one who saw the game, is quite thing for Dixie eleven to do.
 Looking back at Saturdays game 1t was a nip tuck affair until the first break came for Syracuse. The thing that could have inspired the Crimson more than anything up to lthat first break would have been a ithree4point placement kick by Comp | ton. Compton was forced to hurry It off, and as a result it sailed straight, but about six inches below the cross 1 bar. The first period ended with a slight hope coming to Alabamians that the score would be held that low.
 And then came the first real break. Gillis and Barnes. on punt from Zimmerman, which was barely touched by Langhorne, did not fall on the ball and a Syracusan did. Then, while later, Barnes missed a low pass, and Captain McRae; scooped it up for a 30yard dash to touchdown. l The Alabama eleven that went down the field after that seemed an entirely different one. The very heart had been snapped, the old fight was still there, but much weaker.
 Coach Wallace Wade seemed pleased with the game and talked it over with his players between Brming7 ham and Tuscaloosa. He told them of the faults made in. the game and said it would be work now for the rest of the season.
 Sewanee, ancient rivals from the mountains of Tennessee, will face the Tide Saturday at Birmingham. Alabama knows that Sewanee always plays her best game against the 1 Crimsons, and for that reason Ala bama is going to go through some hard knocks so as to prevent a repe- tition of that 77 affair at Redwood | field last year.
