 NEW YORK. Oct. 15.--Wow! What a ball game!
 The Tanks won the game to 4 and the series. The Babe hit home run in the first inning. The Babe struck out in the eighth with the bases loaded, one down and the ty- ing run on third. Bob Meusel fol- lowed the Babe and with two down and one strike on him smashed a sizzling single over second that brought in the tying run. Then Gun ningham in center for the Giants threw wide to third and the ball went to the sands letting in the winning run.
 Previous to this pop-eyed climax Nehf had walked two men, forcing one run over the plate and "Rosy in another run and leaving the bases still loaded. Hot dog! What Q ball game.
 The Giants had the game in the bag 1 to 1 and Nehf was going like a champ. Everybody was speculating game on Tuesday when Ward came up in the Yank half of the eighth and popped to Kelly. That was normal. That was the way the Tank batters were behaving. Nehf had them eat oing out of his hand.
 Then came Schang with 8 single to right that aroused little excitement. There was one down, Nehf was going great, and the Giants were leading by three runs. One single meant little to the spectators under those circumstances. Scott followed with another single to right and Schang took third.
 Stands Wake Up.
 The Stan1. ha~ap +n hmm sin no one took the situation seriously but at last it was a little excitement in game that had been cut and dried to that moment. Hoffman was sent in to bat for Pennock. Right there Arthur Nehf cracked wide open and the Giants cracked with him. He pitched Hoffmann four straight balls loading the bases with only one down. The Tanks on the bench were dancing and bowling. The crowd in tho stands rose and began to dance and howl with them.
 Bush went in to bat for Witt, pre- senting the strange picture of a pitcher pinch hitting for the lead-oft man of the team. Nehf pitched Bush four straight balls, forcing in Schang and making the score and 1.

 Grand Finale.
 Two down and the bases still load ed with the tying run on third. It pull out of the hole. Robert Meuse1 was at the plate--he is just base ball player. He strrck at one and missed. Then he struck at another and he did not miss. The ball went whistling low over second base and rolled to Cunningham in center field, q clean, hot single. The tying run was in. Cunningham threw wide to third and the ball rolled to the stands, while the ball game and the difference of two thousand some odd dollars between the winners and the losers share of the receipts roll ed right out of the pockets of the player on the Giant bench, across the field in front of the press stand. and into the outstretched hands of the hysterical Yankees in the visitors dugout.
 The score was to and the se- ries was over. The Tanks were in at last as worlds champions, and Me- Graw's chance to create three straight world winners was gone. The Giants had two more tries at a come- back but it meanth nothing, Jones pitched the last two frames and had his opponents tanned all the while.
 It was tough one for Nehf to lose. Up to the time he blew so completely he was pitching wonder ful ball. Ruths homer was the only score the Tanks had been able to get off him while the Giants were hitting Pennock freely, taking one run from him in the first, one in the fourth, one in the fifth and another in the sixth. Both sides went scoreless in the seventh and then came the fatal eighth and the finish

 While the pitchers were in process of being switched, Captain Bancroft of the Giants came off the field and conferred with McGraw on the bench. Then he went back to his position at short and spit in his glove and balls to Dugan, forcing in yet an- other run and loading the bases once more.
 Score. 4 to 8.
 The score was then to 3 in favor of the Giants. The bases were loaded with Tanks. There was one out. The tying run was on third and the winning run on second. Babe that is being written. It is history in spite of the fact that it sounds like fiction. From the crazed spec tators in the stands and bleachers came a roar that sounded like bar rage just as it is intensified to the utmost and lifted to let troops over the top. It was an appalling thun- derous tumult of sound that beat bewilderingly upon the brain with that same stunning effect that is pe- culiar to the drum of massed artil- lery.
 The Babe let a called strike gC by. Then he swung and fouled one. The next was a ball. At this point Hank Gowdy rushed out from the bench into the diamond and whispered in Rosy Ryant ear.

HARD PRACTICE IS STAGED MONDAY BY BROWNS MEN
Birmingham Southern Is To Play MllIsaps Thursday
 At Jackson


 With a game with Millsap college in Jackson only three days away day of hard work marked the begin ming of the week at Birmingham Southern, Coaches Brown and Wingo putting their men through strenu- ous workout following their defeat by the strong Mississippi college com bination at Rickwood last Saturday.
 The defeat last week came as a sur- prise to the followers of the. fortunes of the Gold and Black, but the, team will have no illusions when it leaves for Jackson Thursday as the A-illsaps team has shown up well during the early part of the season and there is every prospect for a healthy scrap when the teams meet at the fair grounds.
 Few injuries were suffered by the Panther warriors after the encounter last week the sick roll carving no names Monday afternoon. TWO more hard afternoons will be in store for the Gold and Black machine before leaving for the Mississippi country for their fourth battle for the season.
 Capt. "Hoss" Candy, who was in poor condition last Saturday, will be in better shape for the affair Thurs day. floss" came from the bed to play in the last game but was back at school Monday. John Candy is still limping from a bad knee which was twisted again in the last game, but should be ready by the time of the opening whistle and should take care of his end of the line against the MisSissippians. Price Howell also played good game at end during the encounter with the Choctaws and should be used this week.
 The backfield will start in almost the same order with Miller at quarter, Richardson and Williams at half and Farr at full "Bullo" Williams seems to be gaining in ability as the. season gets older and may be counted on for some good work juagilfg by his showing made Saturday. Red" Farr, also. has not been a disappointment to those who have been looking for him to make q showing during the season and Miller still has his usual punch and drive which made him one of the best backs Birmingham South ern has had in seasons past.
 Either Levie or Rawls will start at center. Levic. who did good work during the last encounter, being the most likely man. The central player will be flanked as usual by Weeks and Pritchett who have proven to be steady position for the guard berths The tackles will come from Dave Evans, Turner Scott and "Dadn Howell each of the three seeing serv- ice during the game Dave Evans made number of good plays Satur day and will probably prove to be one of the mainstays of the team during the season.
 The varsity squad has been strengthened by the addition of Cal houn, Malloy and several others from the reserves who have been present in the line up in the past games and who will probably keep their names on the score cards. Yielding, Anderson and Gcdbee arc also good substitute backfield men, as are Etheridge, Whiteside and Ashwander in the line. No announcements has been made, However. in regard to the men to be carried on the trip and the Panther squad which will leave Birmingham is still problematical to a certain ex- liant 4

SAXOLAND FIVE |S
 FEATURE QF q SHOW SHOW
Harmony Is As Usual Char acteristic Of Al G. Fields
 Production

"H-a-r-m-o-ny spells Al. G. Field Minstrels this year, per usual, wrote an Indianapolis reviewer or the Field show. He hit upon one of the chief claims to fame this fa- nous minstrel company enjoys, and the millions who have enjoyed its en- tertainment will agree that the re- viewer is correct in his Judgment, when he adds; -l.s
 ''There's music in opera, melody in musical comedy, syncopation in the Follies but when -jt comes to real honest-to- goodness close harmony and lots of it, the minstrels get the palm"
 The Al. c. Field boys arc famous for their harmony, in all-round en- tertainment, as well as in their musi- cal numbers, and the current season finds them more distinguished than ever in this, as well as other re- spects. But confining the subject to harmony, one of the acts in the show which may be depended upon to give any audience it's moneys worth in close harmony, is that of the Saxo- land Five. quintet of saxophone artists which has to respond to so many encores that they say they are thoroughly exhausted when their act is over.
 The Al, G. Field Minstrels is to appear at the Jefferson this week. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with matinees Thursday and Saturday.

THE FOUL, ID PLAY WEEK, JEFFERSON
Pollock Play One Of Last Seasons Outstanding SuC-
 ceSSeS In New York

What counts In life? That Is the question Channing Pollock attempts to answer in his new play. "The Fool" which will have It's first pre- sentation here at the Jefferson for one week beginning Monday, October 22, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. It is drama of present. day life in New York city and it challenges discussion of big prob lems involving social justice and practical Christianity.
 The chief character is young minister of the gospel who is dis missed for offending the Pharisees in his congregation, and who then un- dertai1es to work out his salvation in terms of applied Christianity. He is rebuffed at every turn, even by those whose cause he champions; yet the true friends that he makes and the consciousness of doing good that takes possession of him make him feel rich and successful. Some call him fool and a failure, but he knows better and says SO as the final curtain falls. The play was one of the outstanding successes of last sea- son in New York.

STOCK TRADING IS' QUIET AS RESULT OF SERIES CAME
Most Active Of Shares On List Is American Can
 Company
Ky WALTER II. BROWN (EditOr New York COmmerciaD Written For the nied News

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Baseball is not ordinarily a stock market factor, but the deciding game of the world series was more powerful attraction than anything else the stock market had to offer.
 The result was that from two o'clock on trading was almost at standstill, while the total turnover for the day was but slightly In ex- cess of half a million shares. In many respects it was merely a con- tinuation of perious sessions, al- though at times there was some strength in the specialities, due to the technical situation which has now placed the shorts in more vulner- able position than they have been for some time.
 Conditions are favorable for an upture merely as a reaction from the continuous decline of the past week, but there were no developments during the day that were likely to change conditions materially. It is q. market gone stale, and will need something in the way of noteworthy development to shake it out of it's tethargy.
 Can Stock Most Active
 The most active stock on the list was American can which made 8 gain of 25s for the day on short covering. Next in line was Baldwin locomotive with net gain of 2ss. Davison chemical advanced 3ss Unit ed States steel E; Gulf steel 3 points and American wooden Is. Some of the othef specialities made corres- bonding gains, but all were based upon the oversold condition of the market,
 Commission house comment over the week end Is mixed. Some feel in- elined to follow the line of least resistance and see no sign of re- coyery, but most of the comment is in favor of accommodating stocks at these levels, because, as one of the most conservative of the old time houses demarks, most stocks are known to be cheap on their merits. Others who are in q position to know say that securities are now being accumulated by those interested in the constructive side.
 President Alexander Legge of the International HarVestier Company, says that collections are good, and that generally speaking, the situa- tion of the American farmer has improved. This does not hold true, however, with a large percentage of wheat farmers.
