Hendricks Believes Cards
Will Beat YankS' Star
Lefty-BooStS SherdeI.
BY Jack Hendricks
Manager of the Cincinnati Reds

written for the United Press)
ST. LOUIS Oct. There wasn't
a thing to TIM fourth world series
game, Wednesday, but the hitting of
Babe Ruth and that's all was needed
for the Yankees to win the game,
10 to 5, and pull up into another tic
with the Cardinals.
Ruth gave the greatest demonstra-
ton of long, powerful batting that I
ever have seen and he not only ac-
counted for four runs, but he in
spired the whole Yankee team and
demoralized the Cardinals.
Hornsby probably will be criticised
for allowing his pitchers to pitch to
the Babe, but he hardly could have
done otherwise. The fans pay to
see Ruth hit and even II he blew
up the ball game 1 don't believe the
big crowd regretted seeing his great
demonstration.
Another thing, the st. Louis pitch
ers worked on him and gave him
very few good balls to hit at.
l expect to see Sherdel pitch today
for the cards and L expected to see
him get away with his game because
the Yankees can't murder slow balls
they way they killed everything in
the fourth game.
The Yankees, 1 thought, would use
Pennock today and l didn't look for
him to be as good as he was in the
first game, although he is one of the
best southpaws in baseball.
Shocker pitched almost an entire
game in the bull pen Wednesday,
aind Higgins can hardly use him be-
fore the sixth game in New York,
Saturday.

fishing pole to hit any OF the balls

With Babe cutting up, the rest Of
the team followed suit, as Manager
Higgins had predicted. Aside from
Ruths home runs. singles and
doubles ratified off the Yankee bats
with monotonous regularity. In ad-
dition, the st. Louis pitchers issued
ten bases on balls.
The Cards made as many base hits
as New York, but they were not
nearly as productive.
For a time it seemed as II Short

fourth inning.

ton for the Yanks by putting on an

Five bases on balls and one lone

was just a procession.

veteran MAJOR League Umpire.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-As Babe Ruth
goes, so go the Yanks. That has
long been a Yankee truth. 1t was
proved beyond a doubt in the fourth
game of the world series.
Dropping around to the New York
bench while the Yanks were taking
batting practice. engaged Manager
Miller Higgins in conversation
thusly:
when do you expect your noble
athletes to start hitting?"
i've been wondering about that
very same thing for a month";" was
his reply.
"If the Babe will only start, the
rest of the boys will follow suit. You
know he always shows the way when
the Yanks are in a smuggling mood"
Colonel Rupert owner Of the New
York club, was listening in on the
conversation. The Colonel, by the
way, was in far from an optimistic
mood.
The Colonel Speaks
you can tell the boys, if any
pinch batters are necessary in to-
days game, 1 think 1 can do the
job just as well as some of the
players"
The Colonel talked rather loudly
and the irony of his opinion APP
Larently sunk in.
However, there was no need Of
calling on the colonel, Babe Ruth
pcrs nally took care of that.
The only Bambino, baseball's
greatest slugger, gave the most ex-
traordinary exhibition of long dis
lance hitting ever seen in a world
series game.
Anytime the Cardinal pitchers got
the ball within seeking distance,
Babe proceeded to hit it over the
garden wall He did it three times.
Far, Far Away
There was nothing synthetic
about Babes home runs. The first
cleared the right field bleoc hers by
mile, the second was a line drive
over the right center stands, while
tho third settled far up in the ex-
treme centerfield seats, the longest
distance in the park from the plate
to the fence.
On the other two occasions that
Babe stepped to the plate he was

ST. LOUIS. Oct. There was a
noticeable absence of the previous
noise and clamor of celebration here
today as st. Louis baseball fans
settled down to the serious bust
ness Of helping the Cardinals to a
world series championship.
The realization was driven home
with Yankee bats Wednesday, that
this contest isn't won by anybody
yet. The score Wednesday was 10
to 5. New York.
Ruths homers Wednesday, We're
greeted with prolonged cheers from
the stands such as might have
greeted similar homers by Rogers
Hornsby. 1t was genuine tribute
to Ruth.
Although the city spent compare
lively quiet night-the first since
the Cardinals won the pennant,
there was no lack of enthusiasm and
loyalty today. The same long. twist
ing lines could be seen outside the
gates to Sportsman Park this
morning. Many of them had been

lTIRRIN,
the DOPE

By VEDDER GARD

0NCE upon a time there was
a man as hard as FLINT
(his other name was
RHEND, and some $4,000 people
in the year 1926 A. d. came out
one day to see him and his cohorts
tease a BABE--a regular Roman
holiday. 1t was called a world
series in those days, possibly be-
cause of the international ante
cedents Of many of the partici-
pants.
Let the HORNSBY blown and
the BELLS ring out" shouted the
populace who liked that sort Of
thing and were worked up to a
great pitch. 1t was quite an affair
three spectacles, in fact, because
TOPORCER wore q pair.
They made all sorts of fun of
this BABE RUTH. When he
took off his cap politely when
they cheered, someone shouted,
"What n funny way he COMBS
his hair" That's the kind of
people they were.
Don't HOYT him they yelled at
FLINT, evidently initiating the
Bowery talk Of New York. The
spectators were unconvinced Of the
prowess Of the BABE. They did
not realize the MEUSEL that was
in those broad shoulders. But
BABE surprised them. He grabbed
a war club and knocked a HOLM
run right in amongst his tor
mentors.
"Maybe some of you still
DOUTHIT," beloved the in
censed BABE and clouted an.
other one far, far away which
SEVERED a couple of .tele-
phone poles outside the park.
Then the citizens got really
angry and started taking their
spite out on old Bill Klein, the
umpire. Get Jesse James a horse
and a GEH.RIG to go with it. He's
too old to ride horseback. You
buy the nag and Wen pay the
HA-FEY."
The spectators quaked in terror
as the BABE came up again.
Bean him." they hollered. Put
him in the hospital. If he LAZ-
ZERI can't do any harm"
But BABE was not afraid. He
was KEEN for the battle and
aimed another mighty blasting
drive at. the centerfield mob.
"NOw, let's hear you say some
thing" said the BABE. "HOw
much is SOUTHWORTH now?
Come on downtown tonight with
some of your celebrations and
TIL dance the Black BOTTOM
LEY for you on Main ST."
1t was just too much. BABE
had conquered. He had struck
FLINT twice and rung the BELL.
A few New York supporters in the
stands had their inning. Where s
your pep?' they yelled. why don't
you encourage your pitcher? Give
HALLAHAN; he's doing the best
he can. When you come to New
York Saturday bring FLOWERS
for the Cards-ulies."
After the game st. Louis was
strangely quiet. Even Silent
THEVENOW seemed noisy. Only
little colored BOY congratulated
the BABE. The Bambino slipped
him a five spot and remarked,
You're O. KOENIG."
The parting shot of one New
York fan just before he disap-
peared into his hotel was this,
$50 this is your fair city. o.
FARRELL, we say. You're
bughOuse, here"
ut looks as though REMNANT
has been left out Of this little
story. We get the second guess.
That's what Manager Hornsby
should have done Wednesday,

hitting down in his heart that Hoyt

American League fans were shout
ing around the hotels and the crowd
that saw Wednesday, game was
willing to admit that the Babe is
hitting and that the Cardinal
pitchers aren't as sure as they looked
few days ago.
There was very little to the fourth
game but Babe Ruth, and the home
run king playing in his seventh
worlds series. made a record that
may stand for years when he hit
three home runs and practically
broke up the ball game.
There certainly was nothing acct
dental in the hitting of the Babe. His
second homer sailed clear over the
stands and out of the park. and his

The poor old Yanks were all
through after their second defeat.

also had II. Bell, Hallahan and

The Cards were going to sweep
the series. 1t was said that even
money was offered that the series

The Yanks just could not hit.
one noted writer answered one of
those hypothetical questions.
why doesn't Ruth make some
home runs?" He said, "The
answer is simple. 1t is because
the st. Louis pitchers know better
than to pitch to Ruth, where he
can hit homers. They are not so
confiding as the New York hurl-
ers."
The answer is not so simple
now *+*
The series today reached the
point where it was the best two
out Of three. Can the Cards
take two of the last three as
they did at the start:
Such in Fate. Hoyt pitches the
