SINNERS BATTLING
AGAINST HARD LUCK

NEW YORK. Oct. 11.-While the
Giants succeeded in defeating the
Yankees yesterday, Ralph SINNERS
of the Giants was battling for his
life In a hospital here. He Is
fighting typhoid influenza.
Fate has been playing with
loaded dice against SINNERS. He
came from the Indianapolis club
of the American Association in
1922. He was heraIded as one of
the best hitters and base runners
that circuit ever developed. He
earned the centerfield berth.
Then fate tripped him up. George
Smith, then with Philadelphia,
beaned him. He didn't tell McGraw
of the severe pains in his head
due to a blood clot which was
forming. He played in several
series after he was struck. But
his work showed his condition
One day after a misplay he con.
fessed to McGraw. The latter sent
him to a specialist. Shortly after
SINNERS went to Toledo of the
American Association. McGraw re.
called him. Prepared to get into
the world series, SINNERS was
stricken with typhoid influenza.

Bill Tiden Says His
Little Rival Is Far
From All Done

Bill Tilden, the tennis cham
pion, says in American Lawn
Tennis::" at was not the old
Bill Johnston who went down
in three sets to me in the final,
but a tired, drawn shadow Of
himself. Many people think that
it is the beginning Of the end
Of Billy Johnston. Never have
heard q more ridiculous state
ment. All Billy needs is q rest
Of SIX months, q change Of
thought, . bit Of relaxation,
and he will return the same
!. brilliant star he has always
been. Johnston is by far too
great a player and still too
young a man to slip from his
place in the sun"

GIANTS HAVE WON
EIGHT IN A ROW

NEW YORK, Oct. lit was
pointed out by statisticians today
that the Giants have now scored
eight straight victories over the
Yankees in world series games,
the streak including the last three
games of the 1921 series, four
straight last year and the victory
yesterday. One tie game was
played in 1922, the memorable con-
test that was called in the tenth
inning by Hildebrand.
A marked similarity in the pitch
ing records of Hoyt and Watson
was also noted. Each was forced
to retire in the third inning after
pitching to eleven men and allowing
four hits. In addition, each issued
one base on balls.
The Washington times., 1923-10-11

that blow; it went in, and that
is the end of 1t. 1t was the end
of the ball game also. Bush has
had a lot Of tough luck In the
series with the Giants. He was
beaten last year after two were
out. and he was beaten yesterday
after two were out. Well, he won [
lose the next time.
Herbert Pennock will pitch for
us today. 1t may be that McGraw
will send Artie Nehf to the hill
for his club. He had Nehf warm
ing up for him yesterday, but de"
cIded to start Watson instead. We
knocked Watson out of the box.
inst as we knocked Toney out or
the box in 1921.
We slugged Ryan hard enough to
win. We will slug Nehf or any OF
the others hard enough to win, ana
we will win. Just let the Giants
keep pitching to Ruth. The big
how will hit them. He crossed them
M yesterday, but failed to get the
breaks. He got triple to leftfield
and was stopped from a hit by
Groh after a great effort.
Well, when he hit in his natural
style, Kelly robbed him. But they
can't go on stopping him. Just let
him swing on the ball, or wait, as
the case may be, and the hits and
runs will follow.
The accident of defeat in this Sc
ries has done nothing but rouse our
spirit We had a great rally in the
club house yesterday. 1t reminded
me something Of college football
team between, the halves. The
Yankees are of one mind, one word,
one purpose-and this purpose is
victory.

Here's Clash Between
Johnny McGraw and
Babe Ruth

FIRST INNING - Watson
pitching-McGraw ordered his
pitcher to use a slow ball and
keep it low. The fist was low
and inside, Ruth missing a
swing. The second was a slow
curve over the outside corner,
Ruth missing again. the third a
ball outside and the fourth a
slow one over the inside corner,
Ruth chopping the ball to GrOh
for a force out.
THIRD INNING - Ryan
pitching-F1rst two were slow
balls beyond the outside corner,
the third fast inside, Ruth
fouling the ball, and the fourth
a slow ball outside, which Ruth
reached over and drove to E.
Meusel in left field.
FIF T H INNING-Ryan
pitching-Ruth hit the first
ball pitched, a slow curve over
the outside corner, to left field
for three bases.
SEVENTH INNING-Ryan
pitching-Keeping the ball low
and on the inside, the first was
a foul and the second a called
ball. Ruth swung at the third,
a low curve, and missed and
socked the next, fast one in
side, down the first base line,
Kelly making a marvellous stop.

California Fans Mistake Judge
Lands Snowy White Hair
for Mt. Shasta.

Service.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Judge Ian.
dis started off the world series by
newspaper men telling them the
sending mental messages to the
game could begin any time after he
had been photographed.
His snowy white hair made every
California fan home sick, They
couldn't gaze in the direction Of his
box without thinking they were
looking at Mount Shasta.
The crowd Of 10000 people was
a marvellous spectacle. One man
who didn't know anything about
baseball thought it was conven-
ton Of Peggy Joyce's ex-fiancees:
Most of the ushers wore bright
red coats and were closely guarded
by policemen to keep anybody from
shooting them, thinking they were
British soldiers.
Bentley fOuled q ball into the
stand which came so close to
hitting Judge Lands that several
cameramen took slow motion pic
lures Of his gray hair turning
white.
The real thrill came in the ninth,
when Stengel walloped the ball so
far it looked like somebody would
have to chase after it on an ele-,
waited train.
1t hit the sign board in left field
and knocked three hairs out Of
shaving brush advertisement.
1t was a gorgeous pop and he
took his own time tagging the
bases. He looked like a night
Waterman making the rounds.
Stengel was a hero but he didn't
use his head. He had so much
leisure that he could have scored
two runs by going around the bases
twice.
The next time when stengel
comes up to bat, the outfielders
will be waiting for him in taxicabs.
People who bet on the Yankees
yesterday afternoon left the stadium
with longer faces than CRATES.
Their hearts are with Higgins,
but they're going to place their
wagers on McGraw to get their
money back.
The Washington times., 1923-10-11

We had the game won and we
lost 1t. We had the Giants down
with our hands on their threats. And
we let them slip away. We threw
away the game on the bases. An
other play, truly miraculous effort
by George Kelly went against us,
but that play is not likely to hap
pen once in ten thousand years. 1t
is play not in the cards; it was
a fluke play, but a brilliant one. re-
CARELESS.
The turning point of the game was
when Pipp was caught off second
base Probably had Wallie been
sound in his legs he would have
beaten that throw of Snyder's SO
tar that it would not have been even
close. But he didn't slide-I don't
excuse him for not sliding-and he
was out. Dick Nallin says the play
wasn't close, and he probably is
right. He was right there to de-
eide.
However, Wards single then rang
out, and where we should have had
a man over the plate, another on
first and no one out, we just had a
runner on first. He never got
around.

Their new stunt is a reproduction
of the Dempsey-Firpo boxing match.
A miniature ring, with the top
strand of rope coming up to their
