RECKLESS

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6.-There is
wailing and lamentation on the
banks of the Monongahela today.
Many of the home.towners have
been at it since yesterday after
noon, having writhed meath the
sackcloth and ashes Of defeat con.
tinuously without the feel Of bed.
It was q wild night in Pittsburgh,
but it would have been frantic had
the Pirates won.
The local enthusiasts are crying

mer In after some OF the sloppiest
pitching ever beheld in big series.
In the battle Of the big four right

call. The expert dope was doubly
reversed when the smuggling Yanks
were outhit and the pitching Pirates
were outpitched.
The Yanks are the better out
fit. Without their heavy guns
working, they Outclassed Pitts

team.

third inning. Ruth's single, Grant.
hams error, and a dumb throw and
muff by Smith completed the rout.
This was q terrible inning for the
Pirates, and that was where the
game passed out.
Although it would have been log.
ical to yank Kremer at this juncture,
as he would be the first batter up in
4Pittsburgh's turn at bat, Bush let
him stay. When Kremer came to
bat he doubled and scored, which was
fine, but he shouldn't. have gone
back to the box. He got the balmy
Pittsburgh air two innings later. II
should have been three sooner.
Ruth was easily the hitting
star. though the best he got was
singles. Lon Gehrig was the
fielding lunlinary. He was
demon with that right hand
glove. Ruth, however, made the
only sensational catch Of the
affray.

one more run and possibly would

have given us several additional
tailies.
The Yankees will have to show
a great deal more than they dis.
played in the first game to defeat
us in the series. We olt-batted
them by nine to six hits. Our
pitchers showed that they could
stop the long hitting of the New
York sluggers, for though Ruth got
three hits, they were all singles,
and there wasn't thing displayed
by the visitors to change my optn-
ion that we have the better club.
We would have had several addi-
tional hits and no doubt some runs
as well IL some hard-driven balls
off the Pittsburgh bats had not
gone straight at a fielder. Gehrig
got several Of them.
Kremer demonstrated that he
could hold the Yankee hitters in
check If he had the right control,
and certainly Miljus showed he was
their master when he pitched such
beautiful ball in the last four in

1T was just baseball game,
that's all. Neither Hoyt nor
Kremer looked like world series
pitchers. MiItus has an unusual
delivery in as much as he throws
both overland and with a kind
Of combination side arm and under
hand motion.
THE Yankees seemed to be
anxious and willing to hit the first
good one that came along, while
the Pirates were more inclined to
wait them out. Neither team
profited much by their tactics.
Ruth seemed to be more after
hits than after homers. It Is about
a standoff between Ruth and Gehrig
and the Waner brothers"
BY j. II. SMITH
1.-THE game was q real thriller and
In my opinion went pretty much
according to the dope. The big
twins, Ruth and Gehrig, and the
little twins, the Waner boys, were
all doped to shine, and they did.
THE Yankees hit fast balls
best Of all, and Kremer though
. fast ball pitcher, had the
wrong stuff.
''Miljus with his big slow curves
was much more effective. Moore's
good relief work, Kremer's wildness
and poor fielding by Grantham and
Oil Smith were the deciding factors. /"

The moment he got the ball away
to Gehrig, L4azzeri was back at
Grantham who had apparently
angered the Yankee by not giving
him 3 better opportunity to make
the throw. He was loaded for bear
too, and as he brlstled up to the
Pirate i1fielder, Miller Huggins, Joe
Dugan, Mark Koenig and Lou
Gehrig hurried out to interfere.
Nothing serious happened and

ever, and grinned when his two
hagger to the wall in left center
drove Kremer to the showers in the
sixth.
There is little love lost between
the teams in this world series. In
the eighth inning Pie Traynor, the
big t1ird.sacker, being forced at
second. crashed headlong into Mark
Koenig, upsetting him. Lazzeri was
also mixed up in the scramble and
a strange silence settled upon the
big crowd as the Yankee trainer
went out to Koenig and applied first
aid. It looked for minute as2thOugh
another fight was in thu making, but
the umpires hustled the game along
and the affair faded away.
DOME Bush, manly little figure
in extra long uniform trousers that
flap IN the breeze, is doing the
coaching at third base for his team.
He seemed unduly timid yesterday,
and lost two chances to score by
holding runners at the hot corner.
Barnhart might have counted in
third by keeping his head up as
Paul Waner was being forced and
in the eighth Wright stood like q
statute on third base as Traynnr
upset Koenig. Sharp running would
quite likely have allowed him to
score.
I That DOME Bush knows what
to use against Ruth and Gehrig
was apparent In yesterdays
first game. Like all sIuggers,
they hit certain balls better
than others. They didn't get any
in their own special grooves
yesterday, and won't through
/. out the series, except where
Pirate hurlers lost control and
make mistakes.
Ruth got three hits, all singles,
and not once did he really get a
good hold on the ball. Gehrig' e
triple was a gift from the daring,
diving Paul Waner, and should
have been held to a single by play
ing it safe, as the expression has
1t. He walked once, hit a high fly
to Paul Waner and bounded one
back to the box, all of which is
not much clouting from a guy with
Az home runs in his record for the
season.
Close inspection of the box scores
make 1t appear that the Pirates
pitchers were much tighter than

Anyone win admit that we were
not ourselves. and instead Of getting
away with some slip nisplays and
errors of judgment without their
costing much, we had to pay so
heavily for ali of our slips that they
actually cost us the game.
Take Kremer, for instance. Nor.
mally he is a wonderful pitcher, who
may be depended upon to have
everything desired when he steps
out there and to win the great ma
tority Of his games. But on this oc.
troll was not quite right. and no
pitcher can get the best results when
his control is lacking.
But even at that Kremer might
have got by but for several bad
t1nate that Gehrig's easy fly got
through Paul Waner in the first
inning and enabled him to get a
triple on 1t, which scored Ruth with
the first run Of the game. Two men
out at the time and the next man
flied out, SO that the side would
have been retired without a run II
Gehrig had not been so fortunate to
SEJ n IuEGC-Uh5S6T Oh what S14OuA0
have been only single.
The whole story is that we we're
simply unfortunate enough to have
one bad inning. The third round
the Yankees got three runs on only
one hit, that being Ruth's single
to right. Two errors and a couple
OF bases on balls accounted for all
the remainder of their scoring.
Errors are part of baseball, and
man is not to be criticised when he
makes one. He is simply t1nfortu-
nate IL it's made at time when
it proves costly. Our team Is not
in the habit Of playing that kind
Of ball and neither IS Kremer in
the habit of being without control.
We simply were not ourselves and
that's all there Is to it.
Even at that we might have
brought about d different re-
suit but for couple Of had
breaks that counted heavily
against us. Take that inning,
for example, when, with Wright
ON first base, Trayn0r sent
drive into right field that struck
foul by inches and that would
have been double or triple.
Then when Traynor followed with
a single, he hit the bali so hard
that Wright had no time to get
further than second. IL the first
