Jones and Nehf were pitching ball and
the rival infields were two inn
penetrable stone walls Of defense.
Then some of the boys lifted Casey
from the bench and set him afoot. He
was an old man suffering from senile
decay and he had fiickered the last
flare of his baseball life when he hit
that homer in the ninth inning OF
the first game. That was all under
stood.
The Big Smack
Up to that terrible seventh Casey
was playing nice and not hurting any
one nor getting in the road Of the
big bows. Then suddenly temptation
overlook him. A ferocious expression
twisted his features. He snarled like
a wildcat and howled like wolf.
Then he reached out with his nice
new bat and beat the Yanks again.
He did it by banking the fourth ball
pitched to him, right on its new nose,
and knocking 1t clear over Babe
Ruth's head into the crowd In the
right field bleachers.
OF course II was only one run that
stengel accounted for. but that was
enough TO win the affair and the world
series today stood as follows:
Babe Ruth-one game.

thor. He spent mos' CT his profits,
in fact, having the injury treated in
the old shoulders home. 1t was di-
agnosed as a species OF writer's
cramp in the shoulder blades.
Cerebration Is not the easiest task
for most ball players and McGraw re-
lied on the association of ideas to
make his signal system as easy as
possible for his men.
When He Steps in Bucket
Suppose, for instance, that McGraw
suddenly sticks a foot IN the water
bucket. Among baseball players 1t is
considered a social error to stick ones
foot in the water bucket. When they
see McGraw do 1t, the intimation is
instantly conveyed to them that he
wants an error. Just the other day
he rammed both feet in the water
bucket and this double fault was
answered by Pep Young with two
errors in the outfield.
This may convey an idea of the
easy simplicity, the deep significance
and the impeccable mystery Of the
McGraw signal system. An opposing
player, seeing McGraw stick his foot
in the water bucket, would merely say
10 himself: "Uh-ohl McGraw has stuck
his whippet in the water bucket! Well,

Again Casey turned his inquiring
gaze at the wizard strategist in the

its import from the enemy. He was
