NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Confident,
but making no rash predictions,
Miller Huggins, manager of the
Yankees, declared today that the
world series was going according
to his expectations and that he
looked for his success to continue
in this afternoons game, thus
winding up the series. On the
other hand, John McGraw. the
Giant leader was grimly determined
that his team should stop the
Yankees on the threshold of victory.
We're going to win, but to be
overconfident now would be fool

to seven games.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-To me Joe

Babe Ruth has become so used To
having a "baIP' pitched, that when
the umpire calls a strike on him hs
is as much surprised as the pitcher
in the box. For the most part, how
ever, McGraw's array of talent has
been pitching to Babe, and you've
got to charge that to sportsmanship.

ANY man who thinks that he has
the right prescription for stopping
my ball club when it is running
free, is suffering from a delusion.
Any man who figures he can
stop Ruth is suffering from a de-
lusion. l have said repeatedly that
any pitcher in the world may stop
the Babe in one ball game. or may
stop him in a series, but Ruth
has no weakness under the sun.
Put Babe Ruth on the Giants and
my pitchers may stop him in one
game or in four games, but they
can't stop him altogether, and my
pitchers are good pitchers.
In the five games so far Babe
has been at bat sixteen times and
has made six hits. two of which
were homers, one a triple, one q
double and two singles. This gives
him an average OF 1875. He has
walked seven times. That doesn't
seem to be stopping him, but it is
just Babe Ruth hitting, it doesn't
surprise me any.
Ruth has played great ball i'm
the series from a defensive stand
point, too. His judgment in
playing the Giant hltters has
been sound. The fans appreci-
y ated his skill in maneuvering to
stop Heinie Groh. Babe didn't
have to move far from Groll's
flies. His throwing, despite one
wild peg due to anxiety, has been
fine. He has played ball.

Ruth was out sliding to first in
