he is going to win out at all. HornSby

National League men are disap-
pointed They have no excuses to
make for the st. Louis Club, but the
big hitting of the Yankees had been
postponed SO long they had grown
confident they had the Yanks with
their backs to the wall.
The teams stand even on the series
again, with the score at . ALL but
the Yanks now hold the moral upper
hand. They feel in their bones that
their old batting power has returned,
and that they are going to slug their
way through to victory. Moreover,
they have the satisfaction of knowing
that the series will be decided on their

Hooper in 1915.

PLAYERS IN SERIES
TO GET RECORD SUM


ST. LOUIS. October 7-As world
series records We're broken right and
left yesterday, the players of the ST.
Louis Cardinals and New York
Yankees We're assured that another
record will be broken when they re-
ceive their reward.
If the players portion of the world
series pool is divided into 26 parts,
the winning players will get $6,254.65,
while on the same basis the losers
will receive $4,12976. The players
themselves fix the division of their
spoils. There may be more than rs
shares.
THE players share of the receipts,
limited to the first four games,
amounts to $372 ,3O0.51. Seventy per
cent of this goes to the world series
contenders, divided on a 60-40 basis.
with the other 80 per cent split
among players on clubs finishing sec
ond, third and fourth in the rival
pennant Caces. OF the world series
teams share. $156,36621 goes to the
winning team and $104, ,244.14 to the
losers.
With the series deadlocked. the
players still have a considerable fl.
nancial interest in the games, despite
the fact that they are not "in' on
future receipts. The difference be-
tween the winners and losers end
will be more than $4,000.

The first time at bat Ruth hit into
the corner of the right field stands.
The next time at bat he moved his
home run half way up between right
and center, and smacked it over
the stands. The third time he
was given a base on balls. The fourth
time he hit a prodigious wallop into
the center field bleachers. The fifth

Mangled Former Records.
BY doing all this the Sultan of
Swat mangled the former records for
extra bases in world series and a lot
of other things. Yet he did nothing
which had as much tonic effect on
his team mates as the first homer, be-
cause that started the mauling crew
again, and they stampeded their way
through the remainder of the game,
leaving first one pitcher and then an
other in their wake. The field was
literally strewn with breathless and
crippled pitchers.
During batting practice before the
game. Ruth broke a favorite bat. He
hit the handle on the ground and said
something, which-perhaps fortunate
ly-dtd not carry to the stands. Then
he went back to the dugout and Sc
lected another bat. That bat can't be
had for love nor money until this
world series is over. 1t is an en-
larger silver ash. and neither Rogers
Hornsby nor his pitchers is likely
ever to forget it.
While Ruth was waxing more and
more famous, the ST. Louis pitchers
crumpled under the attack. Rhem was
taken out for a pinch hitter. but before
he was taken out he was no such
pitcher as he had been in the National
League race. Hornsby debated long
before starting him. 1t seems that

for the final frame, when he let down
to permit an inconseQuential Cardinal
marker.
Meusel. for whom time had to be
taken out in the fourth. when it was
reported he was suffering from a diz-
zy spell, earlier showed effects of this
ailment when he tried to count from
first base in the initial round on
Gehrig's single to right, with the result
that Hornsby's relay easily nailed
him. Another exhibition of good
Cardinal throwing and Yankee bad

when Lazzeri tried to stretch his left.

Thevenow's- relay to Lester Bell of
Douthit's peg. while it was this same
Bell who furnished the most spectacu-
larly meritorious fielding bit of the
afternoon. This was in the eighth,
when. with but out and the bases
loaded as a result of three passes by
Hallahan, LaZzeri crashed down the
left-tield line. Bell contrived to snare
the ball with one hand close to the
bag. and then dived over third base
to crash into a retirement against
Ruth as Babe lunged to get back to
the sack.
Every regular on both clubs broke
into the hit column, Ruth, SEVERED
and Southworth being the numerical
leaders. with three apiece. The Cards
made just as many bingles as the vic
tors. One reason for the discrepancy
in the score was the difference in dis
tance attained. the Red Birds getting
a total of only 16 bases on their IA
safeties. as against an aggregate of
% for the Hugmen. Another reason
was the comparative steadiness of the

base without paying any attention to
what had happened to his hit. Meusel
