the world series was Il very ordinary

feature of the game WAS the failure of
the pitching aces of the two teams,
Remy kremer of Pittsburgh and
Waite Hoyt of New York, who failed
to finish.
Kremer admittedly was not himself.

uncovered a pitcher who l believe
will figure prominently in making
history during the present series.
Sitting directly behind the home
plate in the press box, l watched
Miljus dish up fast breaking curve,
side-arm fashion, and this fast
breaking hook spoiled much Of the
New York confidence at bat. How
much it spoiled the confidence is
apparent from the fact that Ruth's
single in the seventh was the only
hit New York made off Miljus in
four innings Of pitching.

Real Goat of First Series Game Hot$ Strategy Aids Victory

He should have got Collins out of
the way. Failure to do so brought the
top of the Yankee batting order into
swing in the third inning. and be-
tween kremer's pitching uncertainty
and inaCcuracy in that inning and the
errors of the Pirates. the Yankees
made three runs and dented their
rivals for fair.
Had Hoyt gone to bat first in the
third inning, the Pirates would have
had Il much better advantage. Hoyt
used better strategy than kremer.
Three times Hoyt made the opposing
pitcher come to bat first. Kremer did
make an unexpected hit once and
score, but that can't alter the cunning
Of the Hoyt strategy.
Comparison of Teams.
Several facts are evident as basis
for comparison in the remaining
games. The pitching for the Yankees
was better than the Pittsburgh pitch
ing in those moments when runners
were on bases and runs could be
made.
The right side of the Pittsburgh in
field was less accurate than the right
side of the Yankee infield. Grantham's s
one manhandled grounder was very
costly.
The Pirate outfield played more per-
fectly than the Yankee outfeld. Meu-
sci made a sun muff. but it cost moth
ing. Paul Waner slipped in the mud
and Gehr'g puny fly developed into a
three -bagger that scored a run.
The Pirates made more hits than
their rivals-nine against six-and the
Waner children and Barnhart held
their own. The batting order below
Paul Waner could have won the game
for the Pirates in the third or fifth
inning had it come through. Inability
to do so crushed two admirable
chances.
The Pirates this year are more to
be dreaded than the Pittsburgh team
Of 1925, so far as batting is concerned.
The Yankee batters can be stopped,
except Babe Ruth, perhaps.
There was more incisiveness to the
play of the Yanks than there was to
that Of Pittsburgh. The Pirates gave
the impression that they were fearful
something would happen and the Yam
KEGS gave the impression that they
didn't give darn what happened-in
fact, they wanted things to happen.

Community Basket Ball Loop
Planning to Be Bigger, Better

~ NCOURAGED by the success
l. which marked the Community
Center Basket Ball League last
IL season, Miss Sibyl Baker, di-
rector of the Community Cen
ter Department, and her associates
are hoping to make the circuit even
a bigger go the coming Winter. Miss
Baker has issued a call for meet
ing of supervisors of the various
gymna siums used by the league to
be held October 13 at the Franklin
School to lay preliminary plans for
reorganization of the loop. Later a
meeting of the leagues advisory board
comprising recreation leaders Of the
city, will be held.
Organization Of the circuit was
prompted by a. desire to provide
opportunity for wholesome Winter
night recreation for men and older
boys who have not the time to get
such exercise during the day. 1t Is
pointed out that until organization of
the league no organized effort had
been made to provide facilities for
men who have only their evenings
for recreation.
One of the rules is that no boy
enrolled in a public school is eligible
to play in the league. There is also
regulation that bars professionals
The Community Center gyms will, of
course, still be. open to all, but the
Center League only to unlimited and
senior players. Never before have so
many applications for use of the
gyms been received.
1t is certain that four gyms will be
available for the league this season
and negotiations are on to secure a
fifth. Those. arranged for are at
Central High School, Wilson Normal
School columbia Heights center),
Eastern High School (East Washing
ton center} and Hine Junior High
tSouthe2st center). The first three
were used last Winter, the Southeast
center being added this year. Miss
Baker hopes also to secure the Mac.

BY SOL METZGER.

The correct stance in golf is a
matter of comfort and height.
Tall players use an upright swing.
Wee Robbie" Cruichshank uses a
fiat one. Among women players
the first tendency is to reach for
the bali when swinging. They in.
variably stand too far from it when
addressing it. A slice is almost
bound to result. And they fail to
get the maximum OF power into
the actual hitting. Standing too
erect is another evil. Such a golfer
is likely to smother the ball, that
Is, drive 1t into the turf. When
standing too close one is inclined
to take the club face straight back
and up. instead of around. That
causes the face to come down onto
. the ball. Hooding, 1t is called.
Glenna COllett has a firm stance
and u sensible way to arrive at it.
She first grips the handle of her
club with the left hand and gets
the face in position back of the
ball at right angles to the line of
flight. Note her position in the
illustration. She leans forward so
her elbow is just clear of her body
and her position is firm. Ball is
played almost midway off the two
feet.

the Yankees.
MoOre's Sinkcr Effective.
Wiley Moore went right to work
, with his famous sinker when he re-
| ieved Hoyt in the eighth. While he
did less pitching than Miljus he gave
the impression that his delivery was
a hard one for Pittsburgh to hit.
And now for the break of the game.
| 1t mutt be traced to the first inning
and the blame falls, unfortunately,
upon the shoulders Of the brilliant and
sensational Paul Waner. The break
came after Ruth had singled to right
field with two out The mighty Geh-
rig stepped to the plate and dropped
looping liner to ri~ht field. 1t was
weak drive. Paul was correctly
playing a deep field for Gehrig and
shoestring catch. He finally dove
for the ball. but missed it by foot.
The ball Travelled about 40 feet behind
him and when he had returned it to
the intield Ruth was across the plate
and Gehrig was roosting on third,
A more experienced outfielder would
have been satisfied to hold the drive
to a single, but Paul's anxiety led
him into making a fatal mistake.
There were two out. He should have
played it safe.
Wright's Play Sparkles.
Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri and
Glenn Wright cornered the fielding
honors in the first game. Gehrig
stretched out on a few occasions and
made one-handed stabs of wide
throws which he converted into outs.
His fielding of hard grounders was
sensational.
I.azzeri was mixed up in two col
lisions. He gamely held on to the
ball each time. Had he dropped the
ball on these two occasions the result
would have been different.
Wright made a great play in the
sixth. He was playing close in ready
to cut off a run at the plate, when
Hoyt hit difficult grounder to short
Wright fielded the ball, but instead
of throwing home he took one step
backward and whipped the ball to
Grantham, starting double play. This
was undoubtedly the best individual
play of the day.

PITTSBURGH. October 6.-Twice
the Pittsburgh Pirates have lost the
first game in world series and have
come back to win the event in the
end. Feverish base ball bugs here
were consoling themselves with this
fact today as the Pirates went out
against the New York Yankees with
the firm resolve to take the second
game of the series and make it an
even break before the teams transfer
their warfare to New York City.
These first games in world series
are becoming tame affairs, and erratic
ones, too. In 1925 the Pirates lost
their first game to Washington by
the score of 4 to l. They lost other
games, too, but they finally won the
series. In their first game that year
the Pirates were less peppery than
terday but they were not a polished
base ball team in their first meet
ing with the New Workers..
In the first game of the 1909 series
with Detroit Pittsburgh lost, to 2,
and then they came back to win that
series. In the series with Boston in
1903 the Pirates lost their first game
and also the series and on that oc.
caSlon they deserved to lose it. They
were not well behaved base ball
team.
Wasted Pitching Power.
Lady Luck may favor the Pirates
again this year. They flashed bril-
liantly now and then against the
Yankees in the first game, but some
body monkeyed with the switchboard
when they needed 1000 candle power
to show the Yanks up, and instead of
this there were 1000 match stumps
or something akin to them.
Pittsburgh exhausted the pitching
power of two men who might have
been worth more to them had the
Pirates been batting when they had
chances in the opening game. Kremer
