NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Somebody
had to lose yesterdays game and II
either pitcher deserved sto win. j
think the Yankees lost their best
chance for q tie when Bob Meusel,
instead Of sacrificing Dugan and
Ruth in the fourth inning hit into
q double play which seems to be
Bob's speciality in this series. VI
Both teams played. a wonderful
defensive game with the Giants
probably outshining the Yankees
slightly In that department.
Pitchers battles are not very ex.
citing, but keep you under quite a
strain during the game. / sure was
sore at Nehf for not letting Babe
take hold of the ball. Arthur
certainly did get booed from the

on at least two occasions. Up until

Naturally, as an American LeagCe
enthusiast, was sorry. to see Pipp
get his ankle jammed again, and

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-A1rs well

have arrived. Enrich Alberti, the
great European impresario, has
reached these shores with his
heavyweight grapplers. Alberti
knows the Broadway of New York,
the State street Of Chicago, and
all the other Main streets on THIS

as he does Under Den Linden, in

the very best in Europe, and he is
ready to make the proper introduce

1t known that Mr.. Albert does not
personally seek matches for these
men. He simply acts as Chaperon

this country.
Albert, whose private business
as one of the Krupp factory owners
was almost ruined by the war,
speaks in sorrowful tones about the
living conditions in Germany. With

We figured from the beginning
that Stengel, natural hitter,
might cause a little trouble
just a little. Yet Stengel is the man
who has won both games from US
by spectacular four-base drives.
The game we lost yesterday was
heart breaker. And all Of us,
somewhat unhappy because OF de-
feat, certainly do feel sorrier for
Sam Jones than for sany one or
anything else. Sam pitched a re-
markable game and one that would
have won nine victories in ten
starts. Yet Sam lost-au because
Stengel banged out his four Dagger.
There was one play made I'm
that game which certainly kept
us from tying the scorer prob
ably winning the game. And that
was the play GrOh made on me
I'm the seventh.
With Ward and Schang on the
sacks, I caught one of Nehf's fast
ones and drove It along the third
base line. AS I started would
have been willing to bet all the
coffee in Brazil that the drive was
good for at least two basesNnd that
Ward certainly would score, and
that Schang also might get home
from first.
WhenSI next looked at the scene
of action, as I was tearing around
first, I saw the Giants coming In
from the field and our boys start
ing. out. How Groh got that sizz
ling bounder I don't know, for the
ball seemed to be out OF his
reach. S
Yet learned afterward that he
had knocked it down. fallen on 1t
picked it up and hurled himself
at third in time to retire Ward fol
the third out of the inning.
In the ninth we had quite an
argument with the plate umpire
simply because it was our con.
tentiOn that Snyder had tipped
Wards bat as he was swinging
for the third strike, and that the
interference had caused him to
strike out. But the umpire would
not allow our claim.
The count IS 10 L against uS
just now-but 1t will be all even
again tonight. We're just as run

Stengel has been the man who
has really beaten us-and even
Stengel, battle-scarred hero that he
is, cannot hit out homers every
time a home run is needed to win.
When he went intoNthis series it
was with the thought that we'd get
revenge for the beatings the Giants
gave us in 1921 and 1922-and we're
going to get that revenge even
though things do not look quite as
cheerful for us at this minute as
they do for the Giants.

NEW COMMERCIAL CLUB OF
 TARRANT CITY IS SETTING RAPID PACE IN INDUSTRY

The large gas plant now under construction will be supplying gas for domestic use to Tarrant City Boyles and Inglenook in the near future. Additions to the handsome new school building will be under way in the near future.
 The club is after a railroad sta tion, express office, telephone ex- change, telegraph station, better street lights and sidewalks and @ more complete sewerage system Work of securing these projects will be pushed without delay, it is stated.
 Real estate activities in Tarrant City are stated to have been notice- ably boosted since the formation of the club. Over 800 lots have changed hands and 50 residences have been erected during its existence.
 A hosiery mill, another lumber mill mattress and ice factory are among the larger plants the club is attempting to locate.
 Officers are W. F. Morrison, presi- dent; Dr. L. w. Hubbard, vice pres.- dent; w. G. Netherly, treasurer; J. T. Sandlin, secretary; J. r. Julian, vice president. and the following di- rectors, K. A.

Tarrant City business men claim few undertakers have ever handled as live a proposition as the recently formed Commercial club bearing the name of their city.
 Six weeks ago the club was hearti- ly indorsed by citizens of that com mCnity and an organization com pleted with a membership of 34. It has since grown to 6S with pros poets bright for an immediate en- rollment of 100. A funeral director is the first president.
 Amog the outstanding accomplish ments the club points with pride to a 20-room hotel on Pinson street now under construction, the Masonic Temple and new three story brick building which is nearing comple- tion.
 The new Methodist Episcopal church recently completed has been in use for the past three Sundays. It has modern Sunday school facili- ties and an auditorium that will seat 500 persons.
