HUGGINS TO LEAD
 TANKS FOR THIRD SUCCESSIVE TIME
McGraW Has Won More World Series Than Any
 Other Manager

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-(By As sociated Press.)-Miller Huggins, diminutive manager of the New York Yankees. wil lead his men this sea- son in their third successive attempt to win the worlds baseball cham pionship.
 Though his personality has been overshadowed by the aggregation of Yankee stars, regarded as one of the greatest in diamond history, Huggins | has earned a large share of the credit attached to the achievement of cap- turing three straight American league pennants. l In 1921 and again in 1922, when his club won pennants, but lost in the worlds series to the New York Giants, Huggins was made the target of criticism by many baseball ex- perts They said Huggins was not strict enough with his men. that he could not rule them, that they dld as they pleased.
 Cleveland gave the Yankees a hard fight for the pennant in 1921. The St. Louis Browns made a close race of it last year. but this season the Yankees have won by a margin that leaves no doubt of their superiority.
 Huggins' men have worked to- I gether in winning their third pennant. They played as a team, not the set of individual stars they seemed in 1921 and 1922. Babe Ruth. incorrigi- bls as 8 10-year-old schoolboy for two years, has been Huggins' great est player this year. The pitching staff has been unequalled by any other in either league.
 Huggins has never won a worlds series, but he is confident that he will enter the winning list this year. Tnh nf nd Connie Mack of the Athletics each have won three worlds series, more than any other manager. McGraw won with the Giants against Mack s Athletics in 1905 and in 1921 and 1922 the Giant leader triumphed over won the seires of 1910 from Frank Chance and the Chicago Cubs and in 1911 defeated McGraw's Giants. In 1913 Mack again won from McGraw. Frank Chance won two series with the Cubs, defeating the Detroit in 1907 and 1908. Bill Carrigan led the Boston Americans to victory in 1915 and 1916, yanquishing the Phil adelphia Nationals in the first series and Brooklyn in the other
 McGraw has led his team into action in more worlds series than any other pilot. battling last season for the premier diamond title for the seventh time. Mack engaged in five series.
