Courage, or Punch in Pinch, Big Factor in Series

but the Giants in the series, the other
two were equally strong for the
Yanks. There were busy discussing
the possibilities Of the coming series.
cit will be soft for the Yankees
this year." remarked one Of the fans.
1.-THE Giants, with that bush league
pitching staff, will be lucky to win a
game"
Spring new one, that pitching
gag is old stuff. replied the Giant sup
porter. mo matter how punk that
pitching staff may look now, it will
be good enough to stop the Yanks in
the series. The Giants are always
there in the pinch"
Lucky IN the pinch you mean"
said the other Yank rooter. THE
Giants got every break in the last two.

While many Of his supporters are
prepared to weep for him, because he
may have to work without Babe
Ruth. Wally Pipp or Bob Meusel, or
all Of them, Miller Higgins. the little
manager Of the Yanks, is not show
ing any surface indications Of being
perturbed.
THE injuries Of Ruth, Pipp and
Meusel are greatly exaggerated and
I expect to have them occupying their
regular positions when the series gets
under way next week." Higgins said
today.
The principal argument offered by
Giant supporters is that the National
League champions will start with a
mental jump on the Yanks. They
figure the two defeats suffered by the
Yanks in the last two series will have
the same ink effect as that worked
upon boxer by knockout.
Neutrals believe the law of aver
ages and the breaks should favor the
Yanks this year while the American
League fans lean toward the Yanks
because Of their superior pitching
staff and their more powerful offense

comment on his work, to the effect
that if he was with good team he
would seldom lose a game,
He was finally bought by a pen
nant contender. Working on a club
almost twice sas strong as his former
one, he had but little success. His
percentage of games won took a big
drop.
Working under the strain of club
battling for the pennant, with some
thing depending on every game he
worked, the pitcher lost the effective
ness that he always possessed when
pitching for a club that had nothing at
stake.

THE Babe will be the usual hand

have eight men against the Giants
with him in the lineup"
Nothing to 1t but the Giants; they
are the better money players" is the
way the argument ended.
1t is a rather interesting fact a great
many star ball players are not good
money players. The history Of the
world series proves that in many of
the events, some ordinary player has
outshone the big stars.
Some players break under tension.
They are wonders when not working

CHICAGO IS facing
new rum SCANDAL
Case Now Of Such Magnitude That
Special Action Is Needed

Chicago, June 1.--Prohibition off,
Gals are attempting to check the mys-
ferrous disappearance of $4,000
worth of confiscated whiskey from a
government warehouse here, while
agents of the internal revenue de-
partment continue their investigation
into what they say bids fair to be
Chicago's greatest rum scandal.
A report of the missing whiskey
was made after q conference between
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson
and departmenent heads of the local
prohibition force. Judge Wilkerson
was said to have admonished the dry
agents to get down to business, in
dicating that within a few days he
will enter an order taking the Gus
tody of all seized liquor from the pro-
hibition force.
This formed the latest angle to the
already complicated mass of irregu-
larities in which the alleged bribery
and attempted bribery of prohibition
employees and agents figure promin-
entity.
Investigation by the present grand
jury in the case of John x. Mona
han, former employe of the prohibit
ton department who is under arrest
on charges of forging withdrawal per-
mits, has been dropped because the
plot was said to be too large for the
