willowy Yankee southpaw to equal t
Chief Bender, old teammate OF
Coombs on the Athletics, holds the
distinction of gaining the most world
series victories, six, but the famous
Chippewa Indian tasted several de-
feats.
Coombs' perfect record was achieved
as the result of three victories in 1910
and one in 1911 with the Athletics,
his fifth coming in 1916 when he had
transferred his allegiance to Brook
lvn.
Covey Fails Of Chance.
Coombs mark of three victories in
one series is shared by three other
mound heroes, the late Christy Math-
ewson. who gave added luster to his
1905 feat by making all of his games
shut outs against the Athletics: Babe
Adams. who registered three triumphs
for the Pirates over Detroit in 1909,
and Stanley Coveleskie. three-time vic
tor for Cleveland over Brooklyn in
1920. Covey had chance last Fall
to tie or surpass Coombs' mark. but
was beaten in both of his starts for
Washington against the Pirates.
Pennock got his first baptism of
world series fire in 1914, when he was
a youngster with the Athletics. but it
consisted only Of three innings work
as "a relief twirler. His big effort was
in 1923, when he pitched the Yankees
to two victories over the Giants and
helped clinch the world series for the
Hugmen.
Outstanding facts on world series
pitching follow:
Ed Reulbach of the Chicago Cubs
allowed the 'hitless wonders" the
White Sox of 1906, only one hit
There have been five 2-hit games,
pitched by Ed Walsh Of the White

Pennock Is held to be the most sue.
cessful left-hander of the Yanks and
Of the American League. Pennock
has not won ball game from Cleve-
lnad this year, and st. Louis will
attack Pennock much like Cleveland
has. Yet Pennock has won four
games from the Athletics and four
from Detroit. each Of which can maui

with Cleveland, two are gained with
Detroit and the Athletics
Sherdel is presumed to he the. best
left handler of st. Louis and one OF
the best in the National League. But
please note that Sherdel'S greatest
success has been in his six victories
against Brooklyn. He lost four games
to Cincinnati without winning one,
and there you have the same condi-
tioh as was noted with Pennock, who
did not win game from Cleveland.
Both SouthpaWS Are Good.
Offhand it is safe enough to say
that both of these left-handers are
good, but either of them is likely TO
get a stiff lacing, because both of
them have succumbed to the kind of
attack they must face in the world
series. That makes it fifty-fifty so
far.
The next two left nderS to he con-
sidered are Ruether for the Yanks
and Reinhart for st. Louis. Ruether
has been eager to pitch a game in
world series He has not been in one
since the series of 1919 in Cincinnati,
when he won the first game and sue
cess went to his head. Ruether's
physical skill can defeat st. Louis, but
if his nerves are not right he Is

Reinhart is inexperienced as ma jor

of odd type. He might he cool as

YANKEES BALL PARK
BIGGEST IN COUNTRY

Yankee Stadium. where the New

and where the 1926 world series will
be started Saturday, is the largest

1923, the year it was built. when the
Yanks and Giants hooked up in the
October classic that returned the
American League champions the win

Oft described as the House that
Ruth Built" its vast triple decked
stands and spacious bleachers will
hold about $1,000 persons. The
largest paid attenda nee, in the 1923
series, was 62,S17, but no standees

ing room for several thousand the
actual capacity has never been Off
cially made known. In a double
header this season with the Athletics
the Yanks were said to have enter
tained few hundred over s., 1000 cash

The stadium is built on a 10-acre
plot just north of the Harlem River
in the Bronx and is understood to
have cost close to $4,000, 900. The
grandstand is triple -decked steel
affair with concrete floors.
The playing field contains 10000
square feet. The eft,field foul line
is $50 feet inches to the box fence
which runs at wide angle to the
foul line. giving the left fielder ample

are made into the left field stands

YANKS 6.5 CHOICES

NEW YORK. September 3o.-Odds
are quoted at S to in favor Of
the Yankees. A Broad street firm an
nounces the placing Of one wager OF
$4,000 to $4,000 that New York
takes the series, and one OF $1,000
against 1900 that the Yankees take
four games in a row. Prices OF IA TO

straight, and 8 to l that the Cardinals
do not win the first two games, have
been offered.
Babe Ruth has an ardent admirer in
the great Dane given him by Harry
Heilmann, Detroit outfielder. The dog,
almost equal in size to the Babe,
prances around the field with him in
workouts. Ruth's injured ankle ap-
pears as strong as ever. and his limp

sophie over the predicament that

Pennock has the preference. He is
more skillful and smarter pitcher in
base ball craft.
Rhem Should Beat Yanks.
OF the right handlers, suppose Rhem
and Shocker are lined up side by side.
The first is great pitcher physically
and fine pitcher mentally. And yet
he won but one game from Cincin-
natl. He did help thrash the Chi
cagoans in four games. Pittsburgh in
three and Philadelphia in five. He
should win from the Yankees if there
is 81 pitcher on the Cardinal club that
should win.
The crafty Shocker is the type OF
man who is able 10 win from any club
in the country when the tide of the
game runs his way, and he will take
chances that not another pitcher Of
either team will take, relying upon his
skill to get him through. He has not
won game against the Athletics this
year. but he won three out Of five
from Cleveland. broke even with De-
troit, lost to Chicago, and murdered
the remainder of the league. He Is
dangerous man against st. Louis
much the most dangerous of all the
Yank pitchers in many respects, and
yet. if the game starts against him,
he is likely to he pasted hard.
How the Others Compare.
AS things develop. Iioyt can be
rated against Haines. Here are two
pitchers who can win if they are good
on the days when they start An
other pain of pitchers in Jones and
Alexander. Much alike in many ways.
Jones has had bad year, yet he has
won his series from Cleveland and
from Chicago. Alexander got into a
jam in Chicago, which had to do with
his behavior more than with his pitch
ing. If his arm responds to the
weather and some other things, he
may be a winner against New York
and if it fails the Yanks will hit him
all over the lot
Other st. Louis pitchers include
Herman Bell and Keen. Against them
