DAVE TAGSS
ALL Bases
BY Davis ]. Walsh

international News Service Sports Editor
EN- ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS. Oct.
Alex wasn't any bargain for the
first two innings. After that. he
was a piece of Irish lace among
the cotton remnants.
Ruth emulated the ostrich In the
ninth when he buried his head IN
some gents abdomen after q vain
stab at Thevenow's liner in the
ninth. Our Mr.. Ruth finally re-
gained the poise for which he II 30
famous, but by that time Mr..
Thevenow had ambled around tina
bases for q trick home run.
The boys didn't seem to care
much for Happy Henry O'Day's
viewpoint on balls and strikes.
Henry pacified the young men with
his kindly, forgiving smile. That's
Henry's way every time.
Our Mr.. Ruth strove nightly at
all times, but might be pardoned
for saying that the Cards were all
against him. particularly Hornsby
Rogers made the best play Of the
series Sunday in spear3ng RuthsS
smash toward rightfieId in the
ninth. There hasn't been q lot Of
god plays, at that.
The Washington times., 1926-10-04
And not q lot Of bad ones.

The Cards were just beginning to
wonder how much the losers share
would be. anyhow, when they broka
loose in the third inning. Those
singles by Douthit, 3outhworth and
Bottomley convinced the Cardinals
that they were a ball club and this
was a world series.
Only 81 900 persons present. One
felt almost isolated. as it were.
1t was outcast day at the
stadium and the poor little waits
We're happy for once. One Of them
was Grover Alexander. He famed
10. allowed only four hits and re-
tired the side in order in seven OF
the nine innings. Only one ball. in
fact. was hit out Of the infield
during the last six innings.
I know now why they call hira
Sad Sam. Jones was the saddeHk
relief pitcher of the year.
The Washington times., 1926-10-04

The premier there tomorrow
then should be something to
make the Mississippi overflow
its, banks and the 6-to-2 defeat
of the Yankees yesterday to-
gether with the 2-to-1 defeat of
the Cardinals Saturday puts the
series in the peculiar position Of
having to start all over again.
All margins of advantage
were erased before a Sunday
multitude which makes world
series history when m a ter
pitching by Grover Cleveland
Alexander was the steadying IN
fIuence of a game which was
also spectacular because of the
aforementioned feats of Messrs.
Southworth and ThevenoW.
Just as Pennock held the
Cardinals in the palm of his
paw ON Saturday so good old
Alexander was ever in complete
control of that Sabbath skirmish.
The Cardinal batters also found
themselves which is more than
they did on the opener and if any
thing they looked a bit better
in, yesterdays victory than the
Yanks did in Saturdays.
The thing can, therefore, be
expected to develop into a battle
for blood starting tomorrow with
Miller Higgins trying to whet
his wellows back to the smuggling
brand of offensive which fea-
tured the regular Yankee sea-
son.
Shocker's splitter was the
latest brand of twirling injected
in the fray, southpaw and slow
ball singing having held the
stage almost exclusively until
the saliva salesman showed his
samples. Alexander, too, had
an original offering, so far as
this series is concerned, and his
10 strikeouts were largely the
/. result of a wide and deceptive
delivery which lead the Yankee
batters swinging like Harold
Phillips gatepost. In the fourth
stanza, for instance, G ehrig,
Lazzeri and Dugan whitfield in
a row, such a complete master
of the situation was the former
Cub pitcher then and through
out the game.
These twelve hits of the win
ners would make it appear that
the Cards have at last un-
tracked themselves, as Jack
Dempsey said he was unable to
do when he met Tunney. 1t is
nice and somewhat novel ex-
perience and should find some
usage among sports alibi ar
fists in the near and distant
future.
1t is safe to say that if the
Yankees ever unpack their car
load Of hitters and get any more
pitching like PennOck's this
series can only be said to have
just started"
Ruth, for instance, has not
,-unpacked himself and Bottom
ley only got started yesterday.
The Washington times., 1926-10-04

Blue ribbon ball games are
old stuff to the metropolis.
Baseball to New York has be-
come q mere question as to
whether or not Babe got an
other home run and how many
were on hand to see it, if it
came. There is small feeling for
the personality of the actors in
the daily contests. There are
few who have ever seen the
players to know them. First
names are unknown, unless it's
TONY or Jake or Tom, some one
syllable word. Last names are
pronounced in hundreds of
ways, unless it's Ruth or Ward
or some other simple form.
They Hurl Pop Bottles
DUT tomorrow the series will
ID be before folks who take
their baseball seriously, even
feverishly. The st. Louis fan
has no equal for rashness under
full head Of steam. He is the
most accurate hurler of pop
bottles in the world. His hot
dogs are bullets to his hand,
and he loves to peg 'em. His
peanuts are boulders which he
loves to roll upon the heads of
offending visitors, whether play
ers or sports writers.
st. Louis is the only city in
the big leagues in which visit
ing sports writer's sit in cage
that may be protected from the
wild-eyed rooters behind. But
for the heavy iron grating pro-
tecting them, visiting writer's
would be taken out and de-
posted at once into ambu-
lances after every close game.
The hospitals would be crowded
with visitors. There is no fan
like the ST. Louis fan.
The Yankees, facing the Sec
ond section of this series, are
not unknown to the Mound City
rooter. They are going there
expecting all sorts of rough
stuff. But they Shave BEEN
through it before and are not
expected to weaken under the
strain. Indeed, they may play
all the better for the opposi-
ton offered them. The victory
is yet to be won and so the
Yankees are still in a fighting
mood. Whether they cop or
not, they will be sure to keep
up the night. They are not the
greatest team in baseball by a.
great deal, zut they are a fight
ing team, especially with all
that gold in front of them.

Cards Drop Nerves

THERE are indications now
Il that the nervousness has
left the Cards. If that be true,
then they should walk away
from the Yankees in the re-
mainder of the series. Alex
ander's imperturabel exhibition
yesterday put the Cards on their
feet. With the united support
they will get from the crowded
stands tomorrow, they should
flash once more as the fast,
scrappy, brilliant aggregation
that hung on in the face of the
worst opposition to the first
pennant every seen by st. Louis

That started the Cards off.
And they proceeded to get two
runs. If Mark had been able 30
stop Doubt on that ball, instead
Of scoring two runs, the Cards
would have gone Nsc0reless and
we would have held q twO-run
lead.

BUSSES ATTACHED,
 PASSENGERS WALK
Bridgeport Sheriff Deaf to
 Patrons Pleas

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Dec. 3 LR - Passengers became enraged and schedules were seriously interrupted yesterday after two New York Boe- ton motor coaches were held up and attached by Sheriff P. J. Reilly while passing through Bridgeport. The sheriff took up his post out in the Black Rock section Of Fairfield av- enue to take them under his care and protection.
 Unpaid bills for gasoline and oil, extending over a period of two years and claimed to be due the Suntield company. were the basis for the at tachments, brought through Deputy City Court Judge William J. Buck ley. acting as counsel.
 One bus was delayed for three hours while its passengers fumed and sputtered and the other was still in a garage last night. it's pa irons having departed on various trains for their destinations.
 Bound for Boston, a bus ownedu by the Boston-New York Auto Coach company was stopped by the sheriff early this evening He took pos session of the coach to satisfy a bill of $500, the driver telegraphed for aid while the passengers spent their time as best they could. It was three hours before the $500 arrived by wire and 1t was o'clock before the bus moved on its way.
 On this coach a woman had paid s5 for special seat for her poodle dog. Having disposed of the first bus, Sheriff Reilly took up his sta ton again on Fairfield avenue and at about 6 o'clock stopped a New York and Boston Auto Transit con- pany bus. A policeman aided him in this effort. Passengers and driver were insistant upon justice and so away all went to the Third Precinct police station, where the right of the sheriff was protested. Police advised the patrons and operator that they were without jurisdiction. the ac- tion being of a civil nature.
 Seized to satisfy bill of just un- der $2,00o for gas and oil, this last bus operator found 1t not so easy 10 have that amount telegraphed to him. The sheriff took the bus and put 1t in a garage and the passen- gers had to be content with their money back.
