Hoyt hit into a double play.
The Pirate twirler was never
threatened thereafter. In the four
innings he worked he struck out
three men, walked one, allowed
only one hit, single by Ruth, and
held the Yanks scoreless.
Gehrig got a lucky triple off KHe-

scored Ruth with the first run of
the game and in the fifth Gehrig
boosted his runs-batted- total to
two when his sacrifice fly scored
Koenig.
Lou Shines In Field
But in the field Gehrig was real
star, performing like human scoop
at his corner of the diamond He
cut off at least two bad errors of
his fellow infielders by great stabs
and he was poison to, ground balls.
Gehrig was born in New York
twenty-four years ago, and after
starring on the gridiron and dia-
mond at Columbia University he
entered professional baseball with
the Yankees in 1928. Higgins sent
him to Hartford of the Eastern
League for seasoning. He returned
to the Yanks and became a regular,
succeeding Wally Pipp in mid-sum-
mer of 1925.
He Jumped" Giants
Miljus was born in Pittsburgh In
June, 1895. His first professional
baseball experience was with Bling
hamton of the New York League
in 1914. The next year he became
the property of the New York
Giants and then jumped to the
Pittsburgh Federals.
In 1916 he was with st. Mary's in
the Interstate League. A year later
he was again with Binghamton, be-
ing sold to the Brooklyn Robins at
the close of the season.
He went to war in 1918, inciden-
tally with the same overseas unit
as Joe Harris, the Pittsburgh first
baseman. When he came back he
played with Toledo.
Back With Robins
Then he went once more to the
Robins. In 1922 he played with the
New Orleans and Nashville clubs
and IN 1923 with Rochester of the
International League.
He landed with Bridgeport of the
Eastern League in 1924 and then
was sold to Seattle of the Pacific
Coast League. He remained with
Seattle until July of this year when
the Pirates obtained him.

stage, Manager Ownie Bush showed
he has unlimited confidence in his
pitching star, for he left Kremer on
the rubber to work out his salvation.
A force out at second allowed an
other run to drift over the plate.
A costly error, followed, by two
bases on balls, with a hit mixed in,
had given New York two runs. 1t
seemed as if those three breaks were
enough, but the fourth and all i'm
portant one, was to follow, per-
hitting the third soft run to score.
He's the Goat
Catcher Earl Smith of the Pirates
figured prominently in this play,
first as a near hero, then the goat.
With Gehrig on third, Lazzeri at
first and Dugan up, Tony started
for second. Smith faxed a throw
to that base, then cleverly whipped
the ball to third, getting Cehlig
off the bag.
Traynor who handled the bali,
made beautiful stop Of Smiths
hurried throw. AS Gehrig dashed
for the plate, his avenue to third
having been cut off, Trayror fol-
lowed the dazzling pickup with a
perfect throw to Smith. Gehrig
would have been out ten feet but
the ball got away from the Pirate
catcher and Gehrig scored what
proved to be an all-important run.
That one inning tells the real
story of rather drab, poorly played
world series game, in which two of
baseballs greatest pitchers failed
to show their true form. Both Hoyt
and Kremer, starting pitchers, were
unsteady and failed to finish. The
relief pitchers delivered. Johnny

York.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6.--Only two
men on the Pittsburgh Pirates and
New York Yankees are natives of
the cities they represent but those
two may become outstanding heroes
of the 1927 world series.
They are John Miljus, the Pirates
right-handed hurler, whose record
makes him one of baSeball'S most
Travelled pitchers, and Lou Gehrig,
first baseman and slugger de luxe of
the New York Yankees.
In the first game of the series,
Wednesday, it wasn't Miljus' fault
that the Yankees won, 5 to 4, but
Gehrig on the other hand had a
lot to do with it.
Stops Threatened Rally
Miljus, the lone player of Serbian
descent in the major leagues, came
to the mound, in the sixth inning,
replacing Remy Kremer. Lazzeri was

Nervousness, over anxiety and ac-

two errors and the failure to COM

different from now on. The Pirates

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6. - The
breaks went against the Pittsburgh
Pirates in the opening game, but to
me they still seem the club most
likely to win the series.
The fact that the New York
Yankees were held to six hits shows
that they can be beaten, when things
break right for the Pirates.
Kremer was not at his best, yet
the American Leaguers made only
five hits off his delivery, the sixth
and last of their blows coming with
Miljus in the box. This was single
by Babe Ruth. The Pirates, on the
other hand, showed that they can
hit Yankee pitching. The Waner
brothers were impressive in their
first world series.

POWER NOT BIG FACTOR
Proof of Uncertainty of Dia-

BY BILLY EVANS.

American League Umpire and NEA Sery-
ice Sports Editor
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-The
breaks proved a far more positive
factor than the punch in the first
game of the world series. New York
got the breaks and won. Pittsburgh
had the punch or power and lost.
In sizing up the series, I constantly
have stressed the fact that the un-
expected break very often has rem
dered power negative factor. The
opening game of the series offered
convincing proof.
The New York Yankees, perhaps
the greatest aggregation of sluggers
in the history of the game, scored
three runs in the third inning to
win the ball game on just one ro-
bust hit, a single, by the irrepres-
sible Babe Ruth.
George Grantham provided the
opening break. Three others fol-
lowed in rapid succession, to give
New York lead that never was
rellnQulSneQ.
Error on Easy One
Grantham, the Pirate second
sacker, retired Combs, first man up
in the third inning, on a f1ashy stop
of hard hit ball, for which he went
far to his left. Koenig followed with
a slow rolling grounder, not nearly
so difficult play as Grantham had
just executed, but he erred grievouS-
ly and the Yank shortstop was safe
at first.
That slip proved to be the undoing
of the Pirates. 1t seemed to I'M
settle the usually iron-nerved

pitch, sending Koenig to third

The game was a sweet one to win.
Besides giving us the psychological

From our standpoint. 1t was an
easier victory than the score indi-
Gates. I pitched sloppy ball game.
I didn't have a thing" My fast

we scored five runs on six hits,
aided by several mental lapseS on
the part of the Pirates, who APP
peared pepless and nervous. 1t is a
cinch they will have to improve a
great deal to beat us.
If I had been pitching against
the Detroit Tigers or the Philadel-
phia Americans, I would have been
knocked out in two innings.
"Slow Thinkers"
We expected speed and dash from
the Corsairs, but somehow they APP
peared slow thinking ball club.
For instance, Traynor was on first
base, Wright on second. Grantham
forced Traynor at second. In trying
to break up a double play, Traynor
knocked Koenig down and piled on
top of him. Koenig couldn't get up.
yet Wright held third base. He could
have scored. Slow thinking.
My summary Of the game shows
this:
Kremer was either not himself or
he iS-a cousin" A cousin" is a
ball players expression for pitcher
who is easy to fathom.
Yanks to Improve
Second, if the Pirates cannot beat
us when our pitcher is pitching
badly and our hitting is slim. they
never will beat us when all depart
ments are functioning.
Third, that we have discovered the
advance advice on how to pitch to
the Pittsburgh team is all wrong 1
found that out by the fourth inning.
1t is my opinion that George Pip

Pirates.
