TUESDAY, OC
spread Of blue sky and yellow sun,
the seventh in succession, helped to-
bring about the third $1,O0O,000
world series, dating back to l92l and
1923. This made the fifth $l,0O0,0OO
program in American sport, Demp-
carpenter, Dempsey flrpO and
three world series, with the former
fight on top by nearly a million iron
men The gathering aruond the
presidential box just before the first
salvO was fired indicated the days
first excitement. When the dash
ing cameramen reached the scene
in the scurrying groups, they discov-
cred the President and Mrs Cool
idge, Secretary Slemp, Judge Lands,
John McGraw, Pucky Harris and
Clark Griffith all set for the last
official pose of the long wars final
day. With the ball park packed to
the ultimate elbow the crowd out
side was even larger, as endless lines
extended back around corners and
along side streets, almost blocking
traffic; inside it was a more quieter
ana more tense gathering than the
.i5tN bDtore with part of the pre-game
chatter stilled.
1T was not until Warren Harvey
ogden, the Sheik of Swarthmore,
struck out Fred LindStrom to start
the game, that rolling waves of
sound Indicated the amount of sur
pressed excitement. After ogden had
walked Frisch he gave way to Mo-
gridge with Il string of handed
hitters up, including Terry. The
idea was to have Terry announced
with right-nander pitching so that
if once removed with a left-hander
in he was out of the series.
Great plays began to sparkle early
like diamonds shining in the sun. In
the second inning. Hack Wilson
slapped one along the ground at a
whistling clip almost over second
base. Here was budding hit if we
ever saw one. But Bluege, who is
remarkably fast, cut over and by
an almost impossible effort, knocked
the ball down with his glove, scoop
ed it up with the right and nailed
his man at first from short center
by a cannon-ball throw.
In the third inning Joe Judge
started one towards right center
with a rising infection. 1t was on
its way to gold and glory when
Frank F'risch broke the high jump
record and cut off Il budding triple.
Harris First Crash
After three innings and half Of
brilliant pitching the first big crash
came in the fourth. Here, with one
out, came BIclly Harris reaching
FOR another laurel sprig His line
drive over Hack Wilson carried into
the stands, although Hack Wilson al
most broke his massive spine in try
ing to pull down the drive His i'm
pact with the low green barricade
sounded like a barrel of crockery
being pushed down the cellar stairs.
Just moment later the same Hack.
having recovered his breath, came
+; eng in for d low, rakish hit bv
4dse. He diVed for the ball and dug
1t just six inches from he turf, skat-
ing along for many feet upon his
broad and powerful system, stomach
down. Here was another hit totally
ruined by fancy fielding.
The sixth was replete with loud
noises and much strategy. 1t was
here that the stout WASHINGTON de-
tense cracked wide open Mogridge
started the sombre trouble bv pass
ing Pep Young. Kelly laced long
Young. Wilson followed with a
lusty hit, sending Kelly to third.
Here the run-getting should have
stopped. jackson tapped one sharp
ly to Judge at first and Judge, at
tempting to hurry the play for the
plate, first fumbled the ball and lost
his bearing completely as Young
scored, Jackson reached first and
wilson move dto second on a simple
chance. Gowdy tapped one along
the ground towards Bluege and this
brilliant infielder let the ball trickle
between his feet to left field as Will
son came over with the third run
1t was pitiful infield collapse after
day OF superb support up to this
moth-eaten spot. The infield cave
IN gave the Giants two extra runs
and a tidy lead.
The eighth was the most dramatic
spot of the entire series. 1t was
full of throbs, thrills and noises.
With none ont Memo Liebold, batting.
for Taylor, doubled down the left
field lien. This started the racket
with howl and a roar. Rue Ithen
drew his first hit of the series, an
infield blow that Kelly knocked
down but couldn't field. With the
clamor increasing at every moment.
Tate, batting for Marberry, walked
ming the bases with only one out
There was brief lull as McNeely
tiled out. The vocal spasm broke
loose with renewed fury when Harris
raped one sharply toward Lind
StrOm and the ball, after sllirting
the ground, suddenly bounded high
over LlndstrOm's head for the sim
gle that scored Liebold and Ruel and
tied it up. Harris had driven in all
three runs.
