SoUTHPAWs SUPREME
I'M THIS HECTIC SERIES

The 1924 world series win go
down in the annals OF the game as
a series In which southpaws held
the upper hand. OF the six games
already played only one victory has
been credited to right hand pitcher
and only one defeat charged to q
left.hander. In the lone success OF
the right-handed boxnen no less
than four were called upon before
the game was completed.
McQuiilan, Ryan, Jonnard and
Watson all performed for the
Giants in the third game Of the
series, played on Monday at the
Polo Grounds. Four right.handers
also worked for the Senator's in
that game Marberry, Russell, Mar
tina and Specie.
4 McQuillan was credited with the
victory, though he lasted less than
four innings, All the other vic
tories have been won BY southpaws,
Zachary with two, Nehf, Mogridge
and Bentley. Nehf Is the only
southpaw to. lose q game.

70 howls Of JOY as the New Yorker
fumbled the ball, stabbed az It and
finally lost 1t altogether. Ruel was
on second base and johnson on
first when Earl McNeely came to
bat. nervously swinging his bat.
For many minutes the crowd
had been roaring Il mighty chorus
and, with McNeeIy posing grace
fully there at the plate, the din
was awful The fans seemed Ia
sense what was coming. They
were standing. waving their hands
and shouting with all their lungs.

In the ninth inning, Walter John
son uncovered more speed and
wider curves than IN either Of his
other appearances against the
Giants. Little Memo Leibold had
led an assault In the eighth in
ming that tied the score and both
teams battled on even terms until
that twelfth. The Giants, helpless
before the Old Master, the fighting
Griffs swapping and snarling in
vain.
Miller led Off in the twelfth, ron.

Muddy Ruel, the batting failure Of
the series In the eighth he had
scratched a single to Kelly and
had scored the tying run, but
greater glory awaited him.
Jack Bentley had succeeded Hugh

ball. This time McNeeiy caught II
fairly. slashing 8 savage bounder
right down at Lindstrom's feet.
Az the youngster Owed for It, that
ball hoped right over his head
into left field.
Muddy Ruel had started with
the crack Of the bat. He was
carrying almost $4,000 on his
back, but II was light as D
feather. That $4,000 was the
difference between the winning
and losing ends Of the purse.
Emil MeuseI and Young had
traded places iii the eleventh inning

the twelfth and II. was. to the
weaIs.winged Meusel that McNeely's
drive was rolling.
AS Ruel turned third Meusel

up with II he saw Ruel already

he made no effort to stop him.
AS Ruel crossed the plate with
the deciding run, giving Walter

first championship Of the world,

That was the ending Of the
deciding game Of this 1924 world
