NEW WORKERS ROOT
FOR THE GRIFFMEN

NEW YORK. October S-Records
have fallen with regularity during
Ithe present worlds series ard yes
terday's game at the Polo Grounds
was no exception. Again the mark
for paid attendance was bettered
1929 p"ssing through the turnstiles
other than those which admitted
members of the press and other holders
of, complimentary tickets.
In the first game Saturday all
records for attendance al Griffith
| Field in Washington were broken by
several thousand. On Sunday a few
hundred more squeezed into the park,
a again setting a record. Then the
Giants and Nationals came to play in
| the more spacious Polo Grounds and
Mondays game there found the
mark bettered for that park. Yester-
day that record also fell. There is
no way to determine just how many
would pay to see the present series
If there were accommodations. but
it is safe to say that the largest
stadium in the country would have to
turn away thousands.
Yesterdays crowd at the Polo
Grounds made hero out of a res
cued pitcher. The widest, loudest
and longest cheers of the day came
when George Mogridge strode from
the pitchers box to the Nationals
clubhouse door in the farthest cor
ner of the field. The lean hurlers
shoulders dropped. he hurried to get
away and he was disappointed, but he
might have walked with his eyes to
the sky, shoulders back and head
erect, for he was hero in the eyes
OF the bleacherites if not in his own.
For seven innings he had turned
back the giants with burning speed,
sharp breaking curves and a tanta-
lizing change of pace. Only three
hits had been made off him, one Of
them very scratchy. For six innings.
from the second through the seventh,
the Giants had been forced to face
the strongest pitching in the SERIES.
And then the great arm weakened.
The ball wouldn't go where it was
aimed and relief had to be called.
Mogridge's shoulders dropped but the
fans rose and cheered loud and long
as he walked off the field. Seldom
has rescued pitcher received such
an ovation and perhaps never when
playing away from home.
But the New York crowd yesterday
was backing Washington. Frisch's
brilliant fielding had won their plau-
dts and their admiration to the
Giants cause on Monday, but at heart
they were still ro-Washington. The
crowds cheers for the Giants had
been reluctant and given only when
forced. Yesterday the cheers for
Washington were spontaneous and
given gladly, joyously. When one
remembered the way that New York
fans urged the Giants on to victory
in the closing days of the National
League race, it seemed almost i'm
possible that the cheers could turn
against them in so short a time.
New York has seen many worlds
series and four of them have been in
the last four years, but the struggle
between the Giants and Nationals has
put new life into the throngs that
gather at the Polo Grounds and there
is none of the indifference that some-
times marked the crowds last season.
The thousands started streaming
into the stands at an early hour and
steady procession marched down
the aisles until every seat in the park
was filled and spectators overf1owed
into the passageways.

the leg panied him during batting
practice and was too sore to permit
his use. Harris held out little hone
last night that Roger would get into
game against the Giants
1t was feared by the clubs sup
porters that the Nationals would be
depressed by the injury to Peck and
his removal from the game But
though they deeply regret his inabil-
tty to take part in the engagements,
they are not going to let that throw
them off their stride. They now know
they can beat the Giants even with
the most dependable shortfielder of
the American League out of their
lineup. And those Giants who prob
ably have been thinking the Wash
ington club would be a set-up with
out the man who had twice come
through in pinches now realize they
can be defeated handily by that club
despite the loss of its star That's
something for them to ponder over.

Looks pretty good. now, doesn't

was smiling when he said it, Here

1t is said the transaction will be an

Along with the news Of the double
sale has come on the tongue of court
gossip the reputed price involved in
the Groves transaction. The figure is
set at a cool $1t0000
Added strength to the rumor was
lent by the presence here at the open
ing game of the junior world series
of Uncle Wilbert Robinson. manager
Of the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, and
Mack.
Groves, it seems, could be used
with profit by almost any big league
lar could find room for another hurI-
er of Groves caliber. Lefty should
be able to give Mack big boost in
his long, hard climb from the depths
back to the place he once held in the
diamond sun.
But If Connie has put up the
amount of coin. of the realm said to
be involved he is break king one of his
rules of long standing.
B0lpy he n
lineup might be the means of bring
ing the next National League pen
nant to Brooklyn. An ounce or two
more of weight in the balance would
have given the club the flag this year
and there is much in favor of the as
sumption that a first-rate shortfielder
of Boley's ilk would have added the
ounce or two.
Brooklyn once before offered $780,
600 for Boley, but the bid was not
considered by Dunn at that time. The
Dodgers still need him and Dunn
probably is ready to sell now if his
demands are met
