Series

AS the 1926 world series ap-
proaches at a rapid pace, let US
pry into the past, where the busts
of former world series heroes lay
covered with dust, and exhume for
the moment the smiling counte-
nances Of "Home. Run" Baker and
casey" Stengel.
In the 1911 world series between
the Athletics and the Giants, RUDE
Marquard. one of McGraw's aces,
was pitching against Connie Mack's
stars in the second game on October
16. J. Franklin Baker, Philadel.
phia third baseman, hit a home run
which helped the Athletics win, 8
to 1. Christy Mathewson, in his
daily article in q New York paper,
said that Vanguard should never
have pitched that kind Of a ball to
Baker.
The next day 1t was Matty's turn
to pitch and this time Baker won
the game, to 2, with another
home run. Marquard, who was also
writing newspaper accounts OF the
series, said that Christy evidently
knew what he was writing about
the day before, as he had pitched
the same kind of a ball to Baker
Baker won another game from the
Giants with a home run in the
1913 series.
The veteran Casey" Stengel,
Giant centerfielder. jumped into
fame on October 10, 1928, when,
with two out in the ninth inning
and two strikes on him. he hit a
home run inside the Yankee
Stadium, which won the first game
Of the world series for the Giants.
Old Casey barely staggered across
the plate in time. Then in the
third game, two days later, he
again won for his team with a
wallop that sailed over the right
field fence in the same park. AS
he trotted around the bases, he

AS TECH. IS
DEFEATED

Sweet victory for Central, sour
defeat for Technical. That 10 the
way the two schools came out OF
their games with Calvert Hall and
Baltimore City College, respectively
and it holds a bucketfun OF good
news for the Central adherents.
Mike Kelly showed out quartet
of backfield men who looked very
promising. George Roberts, Hance,
wilmer and Engle did not nave
many opportunities to carry the
bali because the coach elected to
play a kicking game. The score
was 6 to 0. But they showed up
well on their few chances.
Roberts kicking was highly pleas
ing to the Blue and White hosts
Technical took a. 20-to-0 drubbtng
from the Baltimore mud plungers.
The grid handicapped Techs style

in the first quarter and twice in
the second. After that they Were

No PART IN

Washington once saw a world
series game without having a team
in action. It may be news to the
fans that the pan of staging a
rowing series, the contestants tour
ing the league for their games, was
tried out in 1887 when Detroit won
the championship of the National
League and the old st. Louis
Browns captured the bunting in
the American Association which
then had major kague rating.
The two teams played fifteen
games, the Detr bits winning the
series, ten games to five. The Sc
ries started on October 10 and was
carried out to October 20.
Only two games were played in
st. Louis and three in Detroit, but
there were showihgs of the picture
in New York, Brooklyn. Baltimore,
Washington, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago and Pitt burgh.
On October 81 the clubs played a
morning game in Baltimore and an
afternoon tilt in Washington. And
tho receipts for the entire trip were
$42 900. Yes, the world series baby

Worry Plenty
For Owners
of Series
Clubs
By FORD C. Prick

Bringing home the world series
is not without it's tribulations, as
Clark Griffith and Barney Drey-
fuss have discovered to their dis
comfiture.
The day their teams clinched
the pennants, Clark and Barney
were little playmates to the whole
world. But the day after, when
they began returning requests for
ticksts, the whole outlook was
changed. Barney Dreyfuss has
been called names before. and by
experts. But not until week
ago did Barney really learn what
public opinion could do.
Under the new arrangement OF
seats the Pirates may be able to
take care of $4,000 at a game.
Washington, with bit smaller
park, can care for only 10000. That
means 264, 900 fans can be accommo-
dated in a six game series. And
fully three times that many want
to go. Truly, it's a tough life.
The matter Of accommodating the
crowds, however, has come to be
the only real problem Of the series.
A few weeks ago Clark Griffith and
Bucky Harris had the additional
worry of injuries and incapacities.
But the hospital list has been
eliminated. Word from Bucky
Harris gives assurance that john
son, Peckinpaugh, and Stan Harris
all will be in shape.
The Pirates. of course, will be
minus the services of Johnny
Rawlings-but Wright and others.
who have been a bit under the
weather, are entirely recovered.
Rawlings loss Is no mean item.
i There's no better money player
in all baseball than little Johnny,
and his work with the Giants in
1922 will testify. and McKechnie
had counted on him to help in
keeping the Pirate kid infield set
tied down. Now that's OUTPUT

Bucky Harris Finger in Bad
Shape, Peck's Ankle
Not Critical

Stanley Covelesl1ie, smiling his
confidence but not very convinc-
ingIy, today insisted that he would
be in shape to take his regular turn
as Griff pitching star in the world
series.
The spitballer went through the
motions to show that he could
throw, but admitted he could not,
without pain, reach downward, as
in fielding.
''I feel good in a general way, !"
he said, land my back has gotten
much better overnight.
Look" he continued, bending
over, II couldn't have done that yes.
terday."
But at that, Convey didn't bend
far forward. His back has been
tapped. Hot applications have les
sened the pain. Stanley slept well
last night. If his improvement con-
tinues to be as rapid as in the last
twenty-four hours 1t seems he
should be able to face the Pirates.
Roger Peckinpaugh, who returned
from Boston yesterday, slightly
favored his injured ankle. but more
from discretion, it appeared. than
pains An X-ray picture today re-
vealed no broken bones.
Walter Johnson's charley horse
has all disappeared and otherwise
the big pitcher looked in great
shape today.
Bucky Harris hand is in dis
couraging condition. The middle
finger OF his throwing fin is
swelled to nearly twice normal size
and it is painful. The young leader
has a reputation for playing de-
spite pain. but from the appearance
Of his finger one might Judge that
he would have trouble controlling

gripping of q bat.

never be known. Tie kid pitcher

EDGE BY
ELIAS
Great Baseball Statistician
Says Figures Favor
Washington
By AL MUNRO ELIAS

The final roundup of Washing
ton and Pittsburgh, the two clubs
that will battle for the world
baseball championship next week,
gives the Griffmen an edge over
their National League rivals so
far as the figures are concerned.
The Griffs lead the Pirates in
fielding, the winning percentage
Of pitching staff is a bit greater,
and Pittsburgh's batting advantage
is too negligible to count heavily.
Washington leads the American
League in fielding. Its infield is
one of the most skillful ever weld
ed together. 1T is not "a colorful
combination, but for service 1t
cannot be beaten. Judge, Harris,
Peck and Bluege all are smart and
fast fielders. And an iron clad In
field is a mighty asset.
This infieId has been the prime
reason why the Griffs won their
two championships. Washington
also Is better provided with infield
utility men, for Everett Scott still
is a fine player, and steady one,
while Sparky Adams is a clever
little fielder.
Like the infieId, there is no
great amount of color IN the
Washington Outfield. GOslin is
group, while Rice and McNeeIy
are steady players. With Leibold,
Veach, and Joe, Harris as utility
garden men, Harris again holds
the edge over the COrsairs.
The pitching averages again give
Washington an edge. Covelskie
and johnson have been more con-
sistent winners than any right
handlers on the Pittsburgh club,
while Dutch Ruether, has shown
as a better performer than Yde,
Pittsburgh's main southpaw hope.
Washington as a team has
proven itself a great money" COM
bination. The players are steady
and unexcitable. They went
through one Of the most sensa-
tionaI OF all series in 1924 without
a crack appearing anywhere in the
lineup. OF course, this speculation
is based on Stanley Harris being
able to play in every game. With
OuL w OO
many point weaker.
Washington boasts of ten players
hitting 800 or better. Only four Of
its regular performers are batting
below 800, and all Of that quartet
are close to the three century
mark. Those four are McNeely,
lead-off man. Stan Harris, Bluege,
and Peck, all timely, if not hard
hitters.
Coveleskie and johnson, two Of
the leading pitchers, each have won
20 games, while Ruether. the other
hurler, certain to start, is only two
games removed from that mark.
It is likely that Harris will de-
pend entirely upon those three,
with Marberry and Zachary for re-
lief work If he adheres to that
play, Washington looks like the
winner.
