Aaron Ward, the second baseman
OF the Yankees, discovered the break
in the tabled McGraw system when
he wound his bat around one of
Hughte McQuillans inducements in
the second inning. The ball straight
ened out, obviously for long. long
trip. John McGraw, in the Giants
trench. began to make signs, fran
tically.
These signs read: you take the
catch; you fellow with the gray fedora

Several customers tromped on the
face of the man with the gray fedora
hat and fawn spats iii seat
81, section s, row HH, causing
him to muff the ball which passed
through several hands before being
impounded by one of the volunteer
outfelders.

cut out the bright lights, went to
hls farm and kept his word.
Throughout the season he played
the game of his life, still sticking to
his promise of reform. To him the
credit for the winning of the league
pennant is largely due and on him
the spotlight Of speculation was cen
tered when it was known that the
Giants had won and that the Babe
would have his chance to redeem him
self in competition against the man
ager and team that had so bitterly
Inundated him on two successive
years. 1t was Ruth against McGraw.
'I'u Pitch to Him"
'I'll pitch to him." said McGraw be-
fore the series began. II don't care
in the American League or what good
shape he's in. III pitch to him and
I'll stop him"
During the first game it looked like
the McGraw dope might be partly
right True, the Babe hit a triple, but
the Giants won, and the bulk of the
experts sighed and said that Ruth
and the Yankees could not recover
from the inferiority complex with
which McGraw had infected them.
Then came the second game and the
Babe delivered.
It's all even once more and the toss
of a coin is as good a way as any
OF picking a winner; although if the
Yanl1s can stay awake long enough
there is the possibility that they may
at last prove to the populace that

bench is of no avail in fielding balls

have been easy put-outs If the Nc

The Yankees as a team are just a
ball club after all and there are many
other clubs approximately the same.
But the Babe is the brightest human
highlight the national pastime ever
has known. There are not others
approximately equivalent to the Babe.
In victory and defeat in shame and
glory, the big fellow has stood. alone.
A unique and colorful figure, deserv-
ing and receiving variously the high
est commentator and the most bitter
denunciation.
Two Years Failure. :
For two years this outstanding fig
ure of baseball. this man with the ter
rife wallop, has been a pitiable thing
in the world series. Last year he was
down and nearly out.
He wasted his great strength on
late parties in gay cabarets, believing
that the supply of energy within him
was inexhaustible and that he would
prove to be the one man of athletic
history who could go the pace at
night under the bright lights and not
slow up in the daytime under the re-
vealing sun.
The Babe was through last year.
The experts all said it. The crowd
was sure Of it. The axiom they never
come back" was quoted whenever the
Babe was mentioned in sporting cir
cles.
The Babe Reforms
And then, at meeting of New
York baseball writer's, held after the
season, the Babe arose and declared
that he was going to his farm for the
winter and get himself in condition
TO play the game of his life.
1t was true that they had heard
that stuff before from the repentant
lips. Of many a slipping athlete. but
they had not heard it previously from
the Babe, and as we have said be-
fore the Babe is different. The Babe

NEW YORK, Oct. 12-Although
Pat Moran has won one world series
for the Cincinnati Reds and landed
the club in second place twice, all in

the world series say they have infor-
