MING War
WITH MEXICO
Sheffield Hands Gales
a NeW Threat

MEXICO CITY, August s.-Unlted
States Ambassador Sheffield selected
an opportune moment to reopen the
standing quarrel between Wall Street
and Mexico over the petroleum laws.
When Gales had his hands full with
a mansized scrap with the catholic
church, Sheffield called at the foreign
office and left a note. Then he made
arrangements to leave the city for
home and an interview with Coolidge.
That the ways are creased for a
diplomatic break with Mexico there
can be no doubt. The action of the
Knights of Columbus openly demand
ing a severance of diplomatic relations
between Washington and Mexico City
is significant.
Mellon In Rome.
1t is also noted here that the pres
ence of Andrew Mellon in Rome BODIES
no good for the Mexican republic.
Mellon is the actual leader of the
United States government and rep
resents American "big business" in
the Mexican imbroglio. 1t is believed
that Rome did not decide to act
against Mexico without the assurance
that it would have the backing Of
Washington. In fact official circles
here are confident that Rome is not
the leader of the movement, but the
agent OF Wall Street.
Peasants With Government.
The government is perfectly well
able to handle the situation here. The
peasants, among whom General Obre-
gon is popular, are with the admin
istration. So are the industrial pro-
letariat, tho they have no reason to
love Gales, who is one day for them
and another day against them. The
insecurity of the governmental basis
Of power makes it incumbent on Gales
to play the role Of a political
chameleon. He must cater to various
elements in order to hold Office. Never
theless in the struggle against the
church he is sure of the support OF
the decisive elements in Mexican po-
litical life.
Engineers Are Murdered.
Reports of assassinations are rife.
Two engineers are reported murdered
by fanatical catholics. An insane girl
went thru the city claiming that she
was virgin" The public became so
Infatuated at the obvious swindle that
they stoned her to death.
President Gales issued long
statement on the religious conflict.
The government was not prosecuting
the church, he declared, it simply in
sisted that the clergy obey the laws
of the country.

The moment that drive passed

what a difference few base hits
can make. Sherdel pitched a good
game for us on Saturday and yet
We lost, 2 to / and a loss by any
score is a loss. But, this time
We hit behind Alexander and the
hasa hits, combined with great
pitching Of Alex, gave us an easy
victory.
There was not the slightest sign
of nervousness about the Cardinals
and 1 think everybody will agree
they looked like new ball club.
That's what a few timely hits will
do. Bottomley came through in
the third inning and drove in two
runs. After Douthit and South
worth had singled and that tied
the score.
Shocker pitched a good game UNI
I'll the seventh inning, but we were
in a hitting mood and we were sure
to find him before long. Then
O'Farrell and Thevenow hit safely
and Southworth connected with a
half speedball or spitball and the
game was won. Southworth GER
tainly has done lot to help our
ball club.
II you look back at the game
IN which we cinched the pennant
you will see that Bill hit a home
run that nut us ahead in that
game and then yesterday he de.
livered again with a fOur-bagger
in the pinch.
Previously 1 mentioned how much
Eouthworth and Alexander did for
us, and they certainly came
through to put US on even terms
with the Yankees.
Alexander had more speed than
usual and his curve was breaking
more sharply than usual. O'Farreli
tells me he had more speed than
he has shown all season. He also
worked his change OF pace very eff
fectively.
We played some bad baseball,
along with the good. We might
have had a shut-out for Alexander
If it hadn't been for two plays. In
the second inning, when Lazzeri
singled with Meusel on second.
Hafey made fine throw to the
plate and probably would have had
Meusel. but Alexander cut off the
throw. There was so much noise
that Alexander misunderstood O'Far-
rell and thought Bob was yelling for
him TO cut off the ball to keep
Lszzeri from going to second. If
Alexander had let the ball go the
chances are that Meusel would have
been out at the plate.
In the same inning we broke up
the double steal and had Lazzeri
trapped between third and home.
We played very badly there.
Bell could have tagged Lazzeri,
but the infieIders kept Tipping the.
ball back and forth. and finally
Alexander made toss to third that
was little wild and Lazzeri
scored.
That's one@of the things that goes
with a young team. The young
players don't know ls)w to kill off
a runner caught in a run-np. but
the boys PLAYED plenty of good base
ball TO make up for. those two
breaks.
We learn from all those mistakes
Well be a better ball club every
day and harder to beat than ever
new.

O'Farrell can truthfully be said
to be unpacked as are Theve-
now and Southworth. Detrain-
ing tonight in st. Louis possibly
the Yanks will know more about
this business of unpacking
possibly for all hands will know
more of this new element in

a ripple that the widely adver-

BY Babe Ruth

EN- ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS. Oct.
I'll hand it to old Alex. He's q
great pitcher and he pitched a
great game against us yesterday
But without any attempt to offer
an aIibi, I'm right when I say
that the Cardinals got most of the
breaks. Even that homer OF Billy
Southworth's had to go right where
it did to clear the screen. If 1t had
been five feet further over 1t would
have been q putout. As it was 1t
cleared by about two inches.
However, that over. 1t did get
across it won the ball game.
And I don't want to take anything
away from Billy.
The real break of the game as ]
see it, came in the third inning
when the Cards tied the score after
we had taken a two-run lead. And
it was that single of Doubts that
Koenig fielded back of third. Mark
handled the ball perfectly and made
beautiful play, but Doubt beat
the ball by a half inch in getting

runs. If Mark had been able 10
stop Doubt on that ball, instead
Of scoring two runs, the Cards
would have gone NscOreless and
we would have held q twO-run
lead.
But that. as I said before. is base
ball.
We treated the Cards to an over
dose of pitching on the first day
and Alex came back and gave US
the same medicine ina the second.
That evens things up.
But the Yankees are not dis
couraged. Not a man on the CLUB
expected to win this series in
straight games. We figured to lose
a few-and SO far our dope has
come out just as we figured.
Higgins told us before the series
that Sherdel and Alexander would
be the pitchers to trouble us most.
We beat Sherdel and Alex beat u.s.
which doesn't leave US in yery bad
shape at all.
We've still got Ruether and Hoyt
to fall back on and Herbie Pennock
will be ready with q couple more
days of rest. And great as Alex
was yesterday. Herbie still looms
as just a little better.
T And right here let me say word
about the Yankee defense. Before
the series opened lot of folks fig
ured we'd make lot of errors and
bunch of dumb plays. But in
these first two games the errors
were all made by the Cardinals
They're more nervous than the
Yankees.
Tomorrow the series opens I'm
St. Louis. As l figure. it that
park is more of an advantage to
us than to the Cardinals. We've
got more Ieft-handed fitters shoot
ing at these right field stands
and when q ball falls in there it's
curtains.
The Yankees aren't hitting yet as
they can hit, or as they will hit.
Fellows like Combs and Gehrig and
Meusel and Lazzeri are due for
base hits-and they'll get ,em too.
And when they do, the Yanks will
begin scoring runs in fIocks.
Don't think we're down-hearted
about losing yesterdays game.
We're not. Here's the tip-off. The
last man was hardly out and the
first of the players in the club.
house when Tony Lazzeri came in.
He went over to Shocker and shook
his hand. though luck" he said,
but you'll get a victory in yet.
Then he turned to the rest of the
gang.
"These guys think they're good 1"

EN- ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS,
Oct. 4.-The Yankees lost yester-
days ball game because they didn't
hit. No club can expectl to win
very many victories on four hits
at least, not club like mine, this
of the smuggling order. But I'm
satisfied to get an even break OIL
these first two games. figured
all along that Sherdei and. Alexan-
der would be tough nuts to crack.
We beat one and lost to the other,
and we're right where we started.
Except that we've disposed Of
their two aces; from here Oh the
second-string boys will figure more.
and that's where expect the
Yankees to show the edge.
And ShOcker didn't pitch bad
game, at all. One baSe-hit beat
him-that home run OF South.
WOrth's that fell over the right
field screen, and that one was
safe by mere inches. A foot
shorter and it would have been
q putOut. No pitcher needs feel
badly about being sOcked for a
home run like that one, that was
nothing but high fly that drift
ed with the wind.
OF course, would like to have
won. Since we lost, feel better
about losing to Alex than anyone
else. He was the man who stood
to beat us, and yesterday he only
lived up to all the pre-series dope
that has been written and said.
In the excitement though,
ina CINE there was one thing which
escaped most of the fans. That
was the great work of Shawkey,
who went in to relieve Shocker in
the eighth inning! And right there
may be one of the breaks of the
series.
Shawkey pitched great ball. He
struck out two hitters and got an.
other one on an easy chance. And
remember that I've still got Shaw
key in reserve, along with Ruether
and Hoyt, who both have been
going great.
I'm not yet fully decided about
my pitcher in that first game in
ST. Louis. but I rather imagine it
will be Ruether. He always went
well against the Cardinals when he
was a National Lacquer and / be-
lieve he is the type Of pitcher to pre-
vent these long flies which go for
home runs in the st. Louis park.
So far my club hasn't started

firmly convinced that they will
come out OF it. 1t isn't i'm the
Cards for any set OF pitchers to

Yankees once start. they're MUIR

have been ST. Louis errors, which is

ness of the Yankee club. Mark
Koenig. who was picked as a goat
by a lot of experts. has played the
best ball on the club so far. And
he and LazZeri have more pepper.
So far I'm satisfied. Things have
turned out about as l figured. And
from here on out, the real story Of
the World Series will be written.
