The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07


 ands ninth inning threat by the trail .i1gS Senators which produced crop of thrills that would make the mummy of Tut-ankh-amen sit up and shiver if his. sarcophagus had been opened at tie Polo grounds during the period of the rally.
 Washington started their half of the ninth three runs to the bad. The right . odds on their staging successful come hack were somewhere around a hun died to one.
 sRyan, who had. replaced McQuillah earlier on the mound for McGraw's rn&fderous men was going good. Bucky Harris, the first man up for Washing ton popped high one to right and assthe ball sailed into the air the odds shifted to about one hundred-and-fifty t&fone. But the Giant fielders got too aabitious. Jackson, Kelly and Wilson al decided that Mir. McGraw would be a& pleasured up if they caught the ball. They all tiled and were so busy collid- ifis witt. one another when the ball de- sd$nded within arms reach that none ofsthem had any time to pull the pellet UNk of the atmosphere prior to its sdival on the greensward and To and heAold MT. Harris was safe and the o6ns on a successful rall: shortened uE
 sRice popped out to Jackson then, and sR the New York gamblers who had hgk on the Giants to win this game p&Rmitted their hearts to start beating okze more to. the regret of the rest ofs the populace and the detriment of tic universe.
 8ieslin then laid down a nice bunt tliat Ryan could not handle. It was tlsA only way GOslin could put the ball inside the diamond without Frisch gs8bbing it. The Giant captain had afseady spoiled Mro Goslin't afternoon win two vaudeville catches in deep ri8ht, catches O. blows that would Lave fa53en safe ninety-nine times out of kindred on any ball field. Then JSzlge singled to right. The bases were fiSM and there was only one out. The cgsawd was roofing hard for Washing tdn. The fans in this town won't be sQkry to see the Giants win another stsEies but then on the other hand only a&faithful hardboiled few will shed aFy tears if Mir. McGraw and his merry men have hard luck.
 E Shifts Gears ',@
 sVith the bases all choked- up with Washington runners the little rotund Napoleon on the Giant bench shifted hiS menta, gears into high ar1 did q lftfae master-minding, with the result tlfAt Ryan was invited to go take a b&kh. Jonnard came on the run from ti& bull pen and after being well filled wsxh the more than one-and-One-half pex cent brand of brilliant ideas that AHeGraw was distilling on the bench, plched five times to Bluege: Four of tIf8 efforts that Jonnard' made were loudly denounced by umpire Dineen as being plumb worthless, and Bluege walked, forcing in run.
 rAt this point MT. McGraw had a RE, of sympathy. He thought of poor RTan taking a bath all by himself in tlB lonesome clubhouse and broke right Olsf in a rash of pity. So strong was hiM emotion that he stopped the game riEht there, called JOnnard in off the ban field, told him, in kindly way, tlRt he need not work any more that dfR and sent him to keep poor Ryan cOsApany under the showers.
 Natson then went in for New York determined not to do any bathing until th# last man was out. Miller was at bak. It was a novel experience for him. He has played in parts of four ga1hes this year and would have been permitted to stay on the bench where hefeels at home throughout the series haa not Peckinpaugh got himself a clfgrlie horse in the second inning, be- , in@ thereby forced to retire.
 Watson had a grin on his face that miSsle his features look like sliced mEOn. He was grinning because Santa C4us had sent him Miller instead of P&kinpaugh and Christmas so far a&ay. Peckinpaugh in pinch is cyan ids of potassium to pitchers. Miller was sweet, crisp, luscious applepie. He poked out a puny little foul over third base and banged his bat peevishly on the ground when it was gathered in. TWo out and the bases still loaded. 5 Maiddy Ruel then did the best he could which was terrible. He tapped weak Oi4- towards third forcing GOslin, and tln bad news for the day was all pub liSked. >l j.
 Marberry Starts Well
 %darberry started well for Washing tdn and got worse as time went on. Tthe went on very fast too. The Giants picked up pair of runs in the segpnd when Terry singled to right, and Jackson, following Wilson who struck otR, banged one to Bluege who fumbled fdE a moment and then threw one to Harris that the Washington manager dfepped, giving Terry life at second. BNth men safe on a play that should ! hSFe been a fairly easy double. Hank Ghwdy hit the first ball pitched over Bhege's head scoring Terry and was n&bbed trying to make second. Mar b&ry then rid his system of a wild pifch on which Jackson scored. Mar berry got the side out then but the ju& was a little late in the doing.
 sThe third went by without event ezsept for the loss of Peckinpaugh. Sane loss that. Peckinpaugh is world sgFies wise, good fielder, steadying iEtsluence on the youngsters of the team aud one of the greatest pinch hitters i1~the game. Bucky Harris could snare one of his own right eyes easier than he can do without Peck right nNsv. In the first of. the fourth the SthatoEs made a bid for victory. Rice waked. Frisch went a mile and q haif back into right center to make a bi&ter man of GOslin by grabbing logg fly there that A0ne of the out fiklders could reach. Judge doubled to lesA and Rice took third. Bluege walk ed filling the bases and Miller came to baf in the spot Peekinpaugh would have occupied had he remained in the game. H flied out to left and Rice scored agEer the catch.
 1n the last half of the fourth Ryan hS3ped by hitting q home run. He does that every seventeen years when tia locusts come and it was just Wash ineton's luck to have him in there when h@ was due. GOwdy got around for rgp in the sixth after pasting one tI8ough AIiller's legs.
 Both teams picked up run in the eifhth and then came the Liz blOw-off aSsl the end of the days work
