NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The Giants beat the Tanks one to nothing in the third game of the world series and everything is normal again.
 When the Tanks came through with a win on Thursday there was much fear about town that fearful seis- mic disaster was due In the neigh borhood of Manhattan and some even wasted time dreading the end of the world. Of course the world never came to an end and yet but then there are whiskers of this city who are unable to remember that the Tanks ever won from the Giants be- fore, so anything was thought to be possible.
 But now the world is normal once more. The spots are off the sun, the birds are twittering in the trees and people are talking about pro hibition as usual. Everything Is all right and the thanks of the town are due to Casey Stengel.
 Stengel Is too old to play baseball any more so he has formed the habit of beating the Tanks in order to have something to do for amusement in his dotage. Mir. Stengel has age in his bones and a stone bruise on the heel When he moves about he must needs wear a rubber sponge in the heel of his shoe to protect his bruise from the harsh turf. His legs are no longer the sturdy and nimble pins of his energetic youth.
 By byrst of speed he Is said to be able to stretch three bagger in- to a single but the only way he can get from home plate to home plate by way of first. second and third without being put out Is to bang the ball out of the park and stroll around like a Brooklyn family man ambling around the block on a Sun day afternoon for his weekly sniff of fresh air.
 It will be remembered that Stengel beat the Tanks with a home run in the ninth when two were gone and there were two strikes on him In the first game of the series. In that game he was careless and neglected tc hit the ball out of the park in consequence of which he was obliged to run all the way around the bases to get home before the ball. This so weakened his aging frame that he was given day off when the second game was played and the Giants lost.
 McGraw, the serious thinker. was not to be caught out on the ball field without his Stengel again and when Frldays a11alr started casey was wabbling around out In center on his shaky pins hoping that noth- ing would happen to compel him to run again.
 He stood around first on one foot and then on the other until the seventh inning. Then his craving to beat the Tanks got the better of him. He is nice boy and 1t is said of him that he tries to conquer his weakness but when the yen over takes him he simply cannot resist. He fell prey to his passion on Fri day while he was standing at the plate in the seventh inning. The score at the time was one big zero to a large round goose egg. Both Jones and Nehf were pitching perfect ball and the rival infields were two impenetrable stone walls of defense. Preceding Stengel at the plate in the Giant half of the sevtnh, F.. Meusel flied out to his brother in left.
 Then some of the boys lifted Casey from the bench and set him afoot He tottered up to the plate with his little bat in his hands, as happy as a child with a bright new toy. He was not expected to be rough.
 He was an old man suffering from senile decay and he had flickered the
