HIS
HONERS
By Davis ]. Walsh

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 7.-When Ruth
went to left field after hitting his
third home run, he gestured toward
the bleachers as an indication of
where his next hit was going. He
was calling his shots. In other
words, he was playing home run
or no count.
Rheims slow ball that Ruth
waited into the center field stands
was a large laugh. The ball wasn't
exactly slow; 1t was tedious.
Well, anyhow, the Cards found
out who was not going to pitch
during the next three games.
Ruth played absolutely no favor
ties. His first homer off Rhem
was hit on a curve inside. His
second off the same pitcher came
on slow ball or whatever it
was. The third, off Herman
Bell, was off fast ball.
Incidentally. his first cleared the
right field wall, right On the ball
line. His second cleared the stands
in right center and the third fell IN
the bleachers in dead center field.
HoyC gained the easiest decision
in the record of world series play.
He pitched a bad ball game and
won n perfectly good victory.
FHnny what a difference a few
hours can make. 1t was no trick at
all to sleep in st. Louis last night.
At that. q lot of the boys have
been guilty of wise cracks about
Sportsman's Park. No fans could
have been fairer to a visiting club
than the local addicts have been to
the Yankees. They were absolutely
sold on Ruth after he hit his second
homer. and after he hit his third
the park was his.
Koenig apparently is a shortstop
who can go far to his right and
not at all to his left. He gets
everything in back of third base
and misses everything around
second.

HORNSBY SCORES HIS FINGERS
ONE
FOR ARMY
By r. d. Thomas

The Army slammed the Navy in
a memorable golf fight at Wash
ington Barracks, but today finds
itself wide open for a counter shot.
Hardly had the smoke Of battle
cleared when Maj. Gen. Hanson r.
Ely, commandant of the Army War
College and leader of the Army's
golf forces about Washington, prom
ised the sailors a return engage
ment.
Admiral M. M. Taylor, chief Of
naval operations. Immediately ac-
cepted and has assigned Captain
Puleson to make arrangements for
the next contest.
1t will be fought probably on
the Columbia Country Club course,
a links strange to General Ely's
men who have played nearly all
of their golf this season on the
flat links at the barracks. On
the other hand, Admiral TaylOr's
sharpshooters have been banging
away all summer in spare mo-
ments on rolling courses.
This likely will mean much when
the Army and Navy meet again.
The sailors find consolation in the
fact that they were whipped in nine
out of sixteen matches, a margin
of only two, on a battlefield familiar
to the enemy.
Moreover, the Army used a Ma.
rine student at the War College
who won his match. AS Admiral
Taylor put it: I'VE We're whipped
by the grace of Heaven and one
Marine" He didn't specify upon
whom fell the grace of the Omnipc-
tent. Perhaps that was General
Ely who bumped off the Admiral

In the first inning Rhem gave
Ruth a fast ball where he could
get hold of it and while he did
not hit it right, he had enough
power behind it to turn it into
one of the highest homers ever
hit here. In the third inning
Rhem tried to give the Babe a
slow one. That was all right,
but he wanted to put it on the
outside corner. not on the inside
corner. But it was on the inside
corner and Ruth hit that one
plenty to right center.

PITCHING
To RUTH
BY Rogers HOrnsby

Manager of the st. Louis Cardinals
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct. 7.-There's
only one thing to be said about the
game yesterday and that is that you
can't expect to win a game that is as
badly pitched as this one was. Our
pitchers could not do what they
wanted to do. Not once was Ruth
pitched to properly and that's the
story of the game. 1t goes to show
how pitching can completely DOM
mate the situation.
We said before this series started
that we were going to pitch to Babe
Ruth, but when I said that I meant
that we would not give him any
Intentional bases on balls just be-
cause he was Ruth and not that
we would stick the ball over the
plate so he could have a little prac-
tice seeking the ball over the fence
and setting a new record for home
runs in a world series.

ARGUE GRID
SCOUTING

When Bill Roper OF Princeton
and Tad Jones Of Yale signed their
compact putting an end to scouting
each others football teams, they
opened discussion that has swept
the football camps of the East and
promises to go on through the rest
OF the country.
The majority Of football coaches
and athletic directors questioned
thus far have said that they are in
favor OF banning scouts. Some add
a qualifying clause to the effect
that their adherence depends on
how we'll the plan would work in
practice while still others are firm;
" convinced that the abolition Of
scouts would ruin the game.
jess HawIey, coach OF the fam
Gus Dartmouth teams, is certain
that change would be detri-
mental, and Reggie Brown, serv-
ing his first year at Boston Uni
versity, is as firmly convinced
that scouts form a valuable part
of collegiate football and insists
that their retention is essential to
keeping football on a high plane
Of workmanship and competition.
Then there is a group taking a
neutral stand. Harvard, falling in
this category, feels that a change
could not be made there this year.
The coach, Arnold Horween, feels
that he should have more time to
think the matter over, and Bill
Bingham. director of athletics,
thinks that nothing should be done
contrary to the sentiments OF a
new coach, although the director
personally is in favor of adopting
the non-scouting plan.
Here's n partial lineup Of coaches
on the two sides Of the question
Those who favor scouting-Jess
Hawley, Dartmouth coach: Reggie
Brown. Boston University coach.
Those who oppose scouting
Charles Crowley, Columbia coach;
Frank Gargan. Fordham coach;
Henry White, Amherst coach; fuss
McLaughry, Brown coach; Cleo
O'DonneL Holy Cross coach; Lou
Young, Pennsylvania coach; Jim
Mccarthy, Manhattan College coach
Hugo BeZdek, Penn State coach
G.. II. McCrackcn, Lafayette coach;
Perry Wendell, Lehigh coach. %East'
ern Intercollegiate Conference.
Those who are undecided-Arnold
HOrWeen, Harvard coach; TWilliam
Bingham. Harvard director; Will
liam A. Reid, Colgate manager.
+Has ruled against scouting.
Undecided officially, but person
ally favors nOn-scouting plan.

Sounds Like
Wet Mouse
By Nick AltrOck

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 6.-Boys,
If you are crazy and want some
company come out to st. Loose,
where they are playing the world
serum. I never saw so many dizzy
people since I left home. This
game yesterday was the family
jewels. First the Yanks would
would snatch the eggs and be-
bacon.
When that Babe Ruth slams
that private collection of home
runs my heart beat so fast 1 had
to unIace my shoes. I'm telling
you that it was the best world
serum game l ever popped my
eyes at. Volta game.
The Yarks drummed Rhem out
OF the box in a couple Of innings.
He threw a fast shoot right up
against the Yanks' bats and they
laid the lumber against it. Then
along comes Reinhart who lasts
long enough to get his picture
snapped. Hornsby must know a
lot of pitchers because he digs up
turkey named Herman Bell and
he pitches some, too. This Rein
hart was wilder than a broken
crankshaft because he gives four
bases on balls and forces a. Dag
full of runs. When Reinhart took
the detour for the showers, Hug
gins steps up and says, Thanks
for the sponge cake and the buggy
ride"
Roger HOrnsby says: Higgins,
you got it wrong. 1t was u
buggy cake and a spOngey ride.
Anyway, the Yanks scored plenty
Of free runs OH Reinhart, who
couldn't break mirror with
handful of pebbles. He didn't
have no more control than
butterfly in breeze.
I thought that Higgins was
wrong in telling Hoyt to stay in
when the Cards were slamming
Huggins must know his business
because Hoyt managed to get his
whiskers shaved without getting
his hair bobbed.
The checkup now stands two for
Hornsby and two for Higgins,
which is just what 1 predicted. The
world serum will be closer than
books in a library. But that Babe
Baby stands out like a tin cup at
a banquet.
He knocks a homer off Rhem
the first time up. Then he bangs
another lOOper off the same guy
and he comes up in the sixth and
busts Bell all over the lot. IL
any pitcher asks me what kind OF
huH In Pol kNII
him to throw him a medicine ball.
The pitchers who lobbed these
balloons at Ruth made the mistake
Of throwing the meat right into the
lions mouth. Babe was only bat
ting whisper up to yesterday, but
now his average is all swelled with
mumps.
The fielders do the best throw
ing I ever saw. in a world serum.
DOuthit. Southworth, and Hafey
all chop down runners at the plate
and also on the bags. Babe shows
he is a fielder, too, when he smears
a guy at the plate with a toss from
left field that is right on the dish.
The game was so exciting that
I lost all the buttons off my vest
and my voice sounds like wet
mouse. This means the world
serum must go to six games and l
got to take ;%other trip back %
New York. / got to go to the
game, because if / wasn't there the
fans wouldn't have nobody to throw
peanuts at.
I won't predict who will win to-
day, because it might rain and spoil
my record.

And Wen see if he can do any more

today, and l guess We'll face
Pennock again.
Ruth was not the only man to
whom our pitchers pitched badly.
In fact the game was poorly pitched
from start to finish and because of
that we did not deserve to win.
The one pleasing feature was the
fact that all the bad pitching and
all the bad breaks did not cause the
Cardinals to crack. They kept on
battling and proved their gameness.
That accident in the fourth inning
might have been a serious one.
Hafey and Douthit, young men in
the game, wanted to make the catch
so badly that they did not consider
the fact that there was danger of
a collision. They crashed into each
other so solidly that the wind was
knocked out of both men and
neither could even crawl over to get
the ball, but they recovered ard in

It took Schaefer just four innings
to get the 800 points. in the same
period, HOrpmans scored but 1917
points. Jake's grand average is The
