Sure of Pennan Managers Not All Important in World Series
Judge Got His Base Ball Start on New York's Sandots
'VIII.-JOSEPH |. JUDGE.

A GRIZZLED New York City
~ letter carrier made a first
\ sacker OF Joseph Ignatius
Judge. When a youngster, Joseph
Ignatius could not be broken Of the
habit of using his left hand to hold
his glass Of water. WELD his pen in
school or toss ball in play And
like so many left-handed folk, he
persisted in trying to do things not
at all suitable for one of southpaw
persua sion.
Even in base ball, Joseph Ignatius
would be a shortstop and there never
was worth while left handed short
stop. But he clung to that position
on the Delmar nine in New York, until
Letter Carrier Buddy Hannah. wise in
diamond lore. told him he never would
he any good on that side of the dia-
mond and caused Joseph Ignatius to
shift to first base.
Our athlete was l6 years old then
and before he was IS he was recog-
nized as one of the best first base
men to be found on the sandlots of
New York and vicinity.
Joseph lenatius was born in New
York City May %. 1894. and began his
base ball career shortly after the
close of the Spanish American war.
He graduated from midget teams to
the St. Vincent Ferrer Parochial
School nine when about II years old
and three years later was playing
Shortstop for the Delmar Club that
won the championship of Central
Park.
Then along came Letter Carrier
Hannah and the awkward short
fielder was transformed into a skillful
first baseman. Judge became mem
ber Of the BlaCkWells Island nine and
the Edison Electrics at the same time
and busy athlete during the
season of 1911.
From the Edison Electrics he went
to the Long Island Athletics. where
he really first beca me- a paid ball
player, He did such good first basing
for that Semi-pro organization that
the Red SoX picked him up in the
fall of 1913. They farmed him the
next year to Lewiston. Me, of the
New England League, then wanted
to send him to Providence at a
smaller salary than his contract called
for in 1915.
But Joseph Ignatius bucked against
the transfer, declaring he would re-
turn to semi-pro ranks rather than
submit to such a chanee. He won his
point and went TO Buffalo of the In
ternational League. 1t was from that
organization that Clark Griffith pro-
cured him September l6 1915.
Judge generally is accounted one Of
the niftiest first sackers in the buSi-
ness today and is recoeniZed as rival
ing Tenney. Chase and Sisler for the
ease with which he handles all man
rer of chances around his station. He
is the poetry of motion on ball field.
and for this reason attracts the ad
mira ion of fair fans as we'll as their
escorts. but his worth is not confined
to fielding. Few pitchers relish the
sight of Judge coming up to bat.

Today the Giants lead Brooklyn by
one g"me and Pittsburgh by three
and one half. and Washington main
tains its two-cOnteSt margin over the
fading world champions. Each club.
with four games to play, needs to win
only three to clinch its respective
pennant. Both now are playing a
fighting and triumphant game which
apparently insures their league sue
cess and whets interest in their pros
pective clash next week.
The gods smiled upon the Giants
yesterday in their to victory over
Pittsburgh which virtually eliminated
the Pirates, but it was smile
earned by grit and the ability to rise
to the occasion, which is as potent
factor in the prospective fourth con-
consecutive pennant for John McGraw,

fusal to fall of young Stanley Harris

made them. Wilson's home run clout
in the fifth inning overcame Yde's
clever pitching and an impenetrat-
able infield defense whose three
double plays in early innings had
nipped the Giant attempts.
In the next inning Lindstrom's bunt
hit clod of dirt and went safe.
Young sacrlhced and kellyS infield
out advanced the rookie to third. At
his point strategy entered-and
allied. Meusel was passed purposely
o get Terry, who hit the first pitched
ball Just beyond Grimm's glove for a
single, on which Lindstrom scored.
Wilson poked slow roller between
third and short. Traynor made a
sparkling pickup, but his hurried
throw was just a trifle higher than
Grimm could stretch and hold. The
ball bounced out of his glove and the
winning run was over. The Pirates
befuddled now, could not stop a dou-
bic steal, on which Terry scored with
out a throw as Wilson was run down
Earl Smiths two home runs came
with nobody on, although Pittsburgh
left nine men on the sacks at other
times. The Pirates had more chances
than the Giants, but could not con-
vert them into runs. Wright led q
superb exhibition of defense with -
chances, and Yde and Morrison al
lowed only six hits to nine off Barnes
but the Giants got four runs and

Higgins More Conservative.

HugglnS. by nature, is more con-
servative than McGraw. He received
lot Of criticism after the defeats of
his team in 1922 and 1928, and much
of it was unjustified His team of
1922 limped through the last week of
the American League race and failed
to make more than five hits in any of
its last six games. 1t still was in
the throes of this batting slump when
ii was entered in the word series.
The Giants got the jump on them
and never let up.
Huggins has his own system. and
he get results. He has had a hard
team to handle, and ] do not deny
that there has been plenty of dissen-
sion in the past. But all of that has
been ironed out, and in the last two
seasons the Yanks have been a har
monious family.
Wiibert Robinson hasn't had
great deal of world series luck in the
past. as his former pennant winning
teams were easy victims for the
American League champions of 1916
and 1920. His club of 1916 entered
the series Of 1916 with the thought
of getting the losers share, and that
is just what il got. The club of 1920
fought harder, but the big Pole, Co
veleskie. was too big an obstacle for
il to surmount.
Should Robinson succeed in beat
ing out the Giants. his world series
record should show a substantial i'm
provement. Robby never had Vance
in any of its previous series.
In the event that Washington wins
the American League flag, young
Stanley Harris, the 2S-year-old man
ager, would be the most picturesque
character on the Washington Club
next to Walter Johnson. The entire
nation shares with Washington its
admiration for this kid pilot" who,

Great manager that McGraw is,
and ] place him at the very top
among managers of all time, he has
suffered five world series reverses
against three victories. His teams
have been in 40 world series games,
of which the Giants have won %, lost
"a and tied ?, for a percentage of .4S9.
One of the strong points of Nc
Graw's successful career is that he
isn't tied By any hidebound c0nven-
tions or conservatiSms. There is no
telling what move he may have up
his sleeve. What other manager in
base ball would have benched Meusel
and played Kelly, the best first base
man in the league in the outfield
in any of his previous series.
