NEW YORK, Oct. 7.--The world series of 1924 begins Wednesday after noon at the Polo Grounds and the ton. solitis of the customers, the bruises of the athletes, the home runs and errors thus far incurred in four bail-games will have to be regarded as needless waste in the war between Washing ton and New York.
 The Senators brought the score to evens Tuesday when Bill Marberry, Washington's stretcher bearer, exhumed himself from the dugout and dragged in the victory from . very exposed po- sition on the hill. Seven to four was the score, the Senators, need t De said, tossing tho natural and the Giants the little Joe. This gave the Senators their second conquest over the Giants, and as the official scorer shrewdly pointed out, just evened the series.
 Marberry now has been mentioned in dispatches on three consecutive days which is something new in the way of a world series record for a pitcher.
 Harris Calls .Marberry
 Responding to shriek from Bucky Harris, his commanding officer, in the eighth inning, Marberry, the same fel- low who won the sec1nd game in Wash inston by pitching precisely three balls, slid his hand into His big glove and went into the box with two men on base and only one ouA He allowed one run to develop out of this dangerous situation and his clublwent to bat in the ninth with a four-run lead, the score then being z to 3.
 In the ninth Marberry struck out Jack Bentley, the Giants lefthand pitcher r-who has habit of hitting home runs, and George Kelly, the tall wal loper who has been operating on a sort of rowing commission with the Giants. at centerfield, second base and first.

 NEW YORK, Oct 7.--This world series has brought out some great ball playing and eofae that was not so great. Bot tho emaftest work have seen in ait my years in the sport has cont, off in She region of second base where NfaAk Trisch and Bucky Hargfs are try ing to play the whole game.
 Those marvellous catches of Frisch in center field in Mondays game were matched by Harris work Tuesday aft Grnoon and think Bueky did more than any other member of the Senators to beat us.
 If some other playR had been there we Inlrht have broken past the infield with some of our blows that looked like sure hits until Bucky nailed them. We might have broken up the game in the seven but Harris made two miracle plays, catching my hit back of second and mailing Frisch's smoking grounder with one hand. Any second baseman who makes eight assists and two put outs without an error is playing great game.
 We had our tough luck with the pitch ing Wednesday. Some days 1t seems that there isn't a pitcher on the staff who can do his best and this was one of these days with us. But you may remember that the Washington pitchers didn't have anything but their gloves and those seemed to be mortgaged7-- when we walloped them Tuesday.
 George Mogridge, pitching for Wash ington, had a great curve and q puzzling variety of stuff Wednesday and had us in his power until he weakened. Then Marberry came in and he was good again, although he had been pretty bad the day before.
 Goose Goslin was the other big gun of the game. He drove in three runs and scored two himself and won enough runs right there to beat our score.

The spirit of depression which lowered over the group after tho Giants had riddled their pitchers in the sec- ond defeat Monday, was completely driven out by the boiling optimism.

DAVE EVANS TO
 PLAY AT CENTER
Partners Crippled Following
 Tough Game With Vandy

A not too stiff scrimmage marked the preparedness moves of the Birmingham Southern Panthers Tuesday afternoon as they went about getting ready for their biz tussle with Millsaps tt Mum ger Bowl this coming Saturday after noon. Due to the fact that these teams bAttled to a O-0 score last season when the Panthers invaded Mississippi, foot ball dopers are looking for another hectic struggle Saturday afternoon when the referee'sJ whistle call the Partners and Maiqrs into battle.
 The two most prominent casualties in the Panther outfit noted from the Nashville catastrophe of last Saturday were Rawls and Ashwander, the two cerlters of the outfit Rawls wasn't even in uniform Tuesday afternoon. He has a bad knee which got worse in the Vanderbilt game and left him hors du combat, Those following closely the Panther dope stated that it would be impossible1 for Rawls to play a minute in the game against Millsaps Satur- day.
 Ashwander Out
 Ashwander has a bad hip and 1t is doubtful if he plays any in the Saturday game. With his two eenters out of the game Coach Drew would have have been up against it for fair had not Dave EvanA a star linesman of last years team returned to school. Dave played center in his Simpson High school days and he was snapping the ball from center for the Varsity crew as they went through their scrim- mAging motions in Tuesdays workouts.
 Court plaster, which had been af- fixed to anatomy since the Vanderbilt game was to be noted here and there on the Varsity squad, while Turner Scott, star tackle, had such a bandage on his chin that he looked like a vet eran of the sixties with a snow white beard.

alumnus, went to Nashville to see that game. He said yesterday that he be- lieved if Drew had kept his best men in the fray and had had them popped up for the Vanderbilt go that the score would have been about 36 to o. It seems that Drew, rather than take chances of crippling his best men so that they would be little good for future reference, went rather easy, realizing that he had no chance what ever to stop Yanderbilt's magnificent team. ''Vanderbilt has great foot ball machine this year." said MB. Rice, and wouldn't think of trying to dis credit their victory. 1 do believe; how ever, that the Panther would have held 'em to about half their total if all the regulars had fought through the game and if Drew had had 'em popped up for that fight like he did against the Auburn Tigers in their first game of the season."
 Evans At Center
 With Dave Evans back, Saturdays game will probably see him playing center with Red Farr and Weeks at guards. Scotty will play one of the tackles, with the other tackles and the ends still in doubt. Bullo Williams and Curley Black will take care of the halves with Greek Griffin at quarter and the fullback job still in doubt
 President Ed Norton of the Alumni association announced last night that the Alumni luncheon, which k q semi monthly affair would be staged in the private dining room of the Green wood cafe today at IF and that he is expecting another big attendance.

 Discussing the New York Giants scandal Johnson said;
 Baseball must clean up or close up"
 There's a whole lot of crookedness in the game, he continued, ''and Judge Landis will not or cannot ferret 1t out. The public wants clean baseball, but it will have to be clean in every sense of the word if the game survives.
 There has been trouble in Kansas the last year," Johnson said. referring to alleged activities of gamblers here. "The American league had detective working on the matter three weeks this summer. He found the trouble did not lie in Kansas City, but in Omaha and Des Moines."
 Mir. Johnson declared that the Ameri- can league stands ready to so to the bottom of things.
 "I am afraid we cannot hope for much help from the National league" hs said. "As for Judge Landis, he is too close to the National league and the New York Giants."

WILLIAMS DENIES CHARGES


 LOS ANGELES, Oct. Hilary A. Williams, president of the Pacific Coast Baseball lea ague, today denied the truth of statement attributed to President Ban Johnson of the American league, that baseball conditions lon the Pacific coast have been rotten this season."
 Williams said:
 His charge that there has been crooked baseball in the Pacific Coast league this season should be backed by facts. If Mr. Johnson has these in his possession none would be more pleased than the club owners and my. self to have such facts.
 "This charge is an insult to every man who wears a uniform in this cir cult. If there are guilty men, let Mr. Johnson make them known # he has the facts and not smear every player with sHudge of suspicion"
 "Mr. Johnson reiteratee that many prominent eastern gamblers are operat. ing on the coast. Perhaps he will be interested to learn that some weeks ago one of the most prominent gamblers in the country left Los Angeles for Chi. cago where Mir. Johnson's office is To. cated. That should Do something for Mir. Johnson to worry about.
 "All have to ask of MT. Johnson Is that he either prove his statements concerning the Pacific Coast league or desist from making such statements. That seems fair enough"

 We were fighting mad, that's all. The Giants had us in a hole in this world series when we started to play. And when the Washington club gets In a hole, it's going to show fight.
 It was a great sight seeing Mogridge pitch such brilliant ball. George had waited for this chance. He saw that his arm was right, went out there and used every ounce of his energy to make his deliveries too good for the Giant batters, the same ones who had routed four of our pitchers the day before. In fact he twisted up puzSlers so much in seven innings, he didn't have enough to finish out the nine. Mar berry gave him . lift, but George had won his game and won it very impress lvely.
