BY GEORGE MORIARTY.

NEW YORK, October 10.-With the
exception of the final game, the 1927
world series passes into the realm of
base bali history as dull spectacle.
and yet it was an event into which
many peculiar angles were crowded.
Without wishing to detract one whit
of credit from the formidable Yankees,
a brief review shows that the Pirates
suffered an overdose of i'll luck from
the first inning of the initial contest
to the fatal wild pitch delivered by
Miliust, Doubtless the better ball club
won the series. The Yankees simply
outplayed and overpowered the Buc-
cancers, who, in justice to themselves
appeared to be physically and men
tally burned out from the terrif1c pace
they were obliged TO travel in the CLOS
ing days of their own campaign.
One of the remarkable features OF
the affair is the fact that Miller Hug
gins employed only five pitchers in
the entire curving debate. Generally
hailed as a weak mound staff, each
pitcher, except Hoyt, finished the task
he started. What brave dopester
would have dared to predict that such
capable fingers as Shocker, Ruether,
Thomas and Shawkey would not de-
liver single pitch in the argument?
DOME Bush, however, was not so
fortunate. He used Kremer, the Glib
raltar cf his staff, in the first game
and found him completely submerged
by a Yankee tidal wave. Vic Aldridge,
his next best bet, Jared little better.
The unexpected wildness of these two
seemed to play a vital part in tearing
down the morale of the Bush crew.

although touched up for nine hits.
labored steadily and spartanlike, and
the jinxed Miljus, barring his unfortu-
nate heave, challenged Pipgras for
stuff and effectiveness in his offerings
Yanks Fear No Curves.
Close observation of the games has
exploded another pet belief, namely
that the Yanks are a helpless lot be-
fore curve ball pitching on constant
scale. which seems to be the National
League policy. l never quite agreed
with that opinion. Several American
League boxmen have wicked curve ball
deliveries, but have noticed particu-
larly that they have failed to subdue
the Yanks by a system of feeding the
fast.breaking bender to them. Per-
sonaIly, think the New Workers can
pound the round slant with greater
regularity than any other club, past or
present, unless that delivery is kept
in the correct spot of strike area.
Another surprising feature of the
series was the mediocre performance

Workers a good argument. And he
was none too steady in his efforts.
| The Pirates proved quite weak de-
| fensively on the right side. While
| Joe Harris did not err. he failed to
cover much ground and was far out
played by the dashing Lou Gehrig,
who put up the fielding game of his
| career for the Yankees. Neither
| George Grantham nor Hal Rhyme was
an acceptable second sacker for the
Bucs. Grantham displayed a ten
dency to overrun grounders, while
Rhyme apparently was unable to
move quickly enough to get in front
of snlashes that usually are cared for
by only average middle station
guardians. Neither was a Tony Lag
zeri afield by a long shot.
Series Dopesters Shocked.
And on the other side of the
infield the pre-series dopesters were
given an awful shock. Pie Tray
nor and Glenn Wright, rated SO
much better at third base and short
stop, respectively were outelassed
defensively by the veteran Joe Dugan
and the young Mark Koenig. 1t fell
to Dugans lot to make the greatest
infield play of the games when he came
in fast to scoop-up Rhymes bunt and
throw for an eyelash decision over the
batter in the seventh inning of the
third game. Koenig, one of the goats
of the 1926 series, went through the
set this time without making an rJr.
although he had numerous difficult
chances, and startled everyone by
leading both clubs at bat.
In outfield play, too, the Yanks
eXcelled. Babe Ruth covered plenty
of territory and made one especially
fine catch at Pittsburgh. Earl Combs
was all over the field to drag down
Pirate lofts. Bob Meusel made the
only error charged against the Yankee
garden trio and his muff of fly ball
at Pittsburgh did not affect the scor-
ing. OF the Pirate pasturemen, Clyde
Barnhart, little considered when the
Waner brothers were being exploited,
proved the best. He fielded f1awlessly
and in attack stung the ball often and
at opportune moments.
The Waner boys failed to show
much outside of their hitting. Lloyd
in center made a couple of good
catches. but he also made two errors.
one of which was especially damaging
to his clubs cause. Paul at times
displayed little judgment in playing
drives to right field and whenever
called upon TO throw revealed no par
ticularly strong nor accurate arm.

Virginia Military Institute comes to
Lambeth Field next Saturday to meet
the University of Virginia in the
twenty-third foot ball game that has
been played between the two rivals
since the first gridiron combat in
1898.
Comdr. Richard Evelyn Byrd, who
was a student at both V. NJ. !. and

will probably be seen by the largest

give little basis for comparison be-
tween the gridiron strength of the
Virginians and the Cadets, but so far
the odds seem to be in favor of the
lads from Lexington, whose close
game with Georgia Tech in Atlanta
showed a dangerous eleven that the
university men will have a hard time
holding in check.
Earle Neale, head coach of Virginia,
hopes that some of his men who were
kept out of the South Carolina game
today on account of injuries received
while playing Georgia will be i'm con-
dition to do battle against V. NJ. ].
For it is his opinion that unless some
strength is added to his line chances
against the Cadets will be slim.
But Virginia has in no sense given
up the fight. Players and men are
going to put in five hard afternoons
preparing to win from V. M. l., and
with the support of more than 1000
students and of alumni who are
coming from a distance to see the
game, it is hoped here that it can
be done.

Al Watrous led Bobby Jones by
two strokes year ago starting
the last round Of the British
Open. The struggle between them
was relentless. Fate tossed these
warm friends together on that last
day and their grim battle for this
honor is one of the epoehs of golf.
Bobby evened the battle on the
first six holes. Then came the
seventh and one of the classic
episodes of the match. Here was
a long 543-yarder. Bobby un-
corked a tremendous drive, fully
800 yards and so yards beyond
Watrous. Whereupon Watrous
laid his iron dead to the pin for
an eagle 3 and gained precious
stroke advantage.
There are great iron players in
America, but none surpass this
cheerful young professional from
Grand Rapids who was runner-up
to Jones in the 1926 British Open.
] have sketched his downswing on
this iron shot as he recently
described it to me. Watrous, as
you will see, comes into the ball
from the inside, gets his left hip
forward and applies a terrific
punch. What is noteworthy about
his iron is the finish. Although
the hitting power is tremendous, he
manages to hold his club on line
at the finish. 1t is not around his
shoulders but well up over him.

In the last game did those who make
base ball what 1t is today get run
for their money. Generally, the an
nual classic of the diamond was about
as drab and dreary q spectacle as one
would desire to miss.
Two things the series did prove con.
clusively-that the Yankees are just
as powerful as their most ardent sup
porters claimed and that the Pirates
were greatly oyerrated by National
League followers.
The Yankees, who played through
out the set as though they could step
out at any time and win, certainly
ought TO make the running for their
rivals in the American League for
some time to come. The Pirates, who
seemingly went into the series with
faint hope of success and played just
that way, turned the tradition that
they have been the strongest in the
senior major circuit for the past five
years, even though winning but two
pennants in that time, into myth.

Easy for Yank Hurlers.
The Yankees won without using
more than two of their regular start
ing pitchers, Waite Hoyt and Herb
Pennock. Their brace of reserve
hurlers, George Pipgras and Wiley
Moore, certainly did not find it difficult
to stem the Pirate offensive. Much is
made of Pennoek's three-hit pitching
feat in the third game, with none of
the hits coming in the first seven
sessions, but Pipgras, though he
yielded seven safeties in the second en-
counter of the series. gave mound
exhibition that deserves a high place
in worl0 series pitching rating.
Three of the four Yankee starting
pitchers went the route, something
none of the Pirate starters was able
to do. Ray Kremer and Vic Aldridge
