BABE LEADS BATTERS
First SaCker Drives in
Most TaIIieS.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff COrreSnnndent

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 8.-If the
st. Louis Cardinals never see Babe
Ruth and Lou Gehrig again, that
will be soon enough.
Staggering under three straight
defeats, the Cardinals today at
tempted to devise a defense to stop
the Yankees two mauling masto-
donS and win themselves a world
series ball game if such thing is
possible.
Babe Ruth and Gehrig have put
on tWo-ring baseball circus at the
expense of the Cardinals in the first
three games. Aside from the clever
pitching of Waite Hoyt, George Pip
gras and Tom Zachary, the 1928
series has been all Ruth and Geh-
rig. Under the impetus furnished
by Babe and Lou the Yankees have
lowered the colors of three of the
National Leagues foremost boXmen,
Sherdel, Alexander and Haines, the
same pitchers who caused the Cards
to be quoted 7-to-5 favorites before
the series opened.
Hold EN- Down.
AS Al Schacht, the Washington
clown. remarked after the Yankees
third victory:
There ought to be something
done about those two fellows. Judge
Lands ought to make a rule which
would permit Ruth and Gehrig to
bat once apiece in each game"
The hitting of Higgins two
henchmen has plunged a ball club
good enough to survive one of the
most strenuous National League
races in history into deepest
despair.
Single handed Gehrig has created
enough havoc to spatter the morale
of most any team. The big swag-
gering first baseman has driven in
more runs than the entire st. Louis
team has scored. In three games he
has driven home eight runs, a new
world series record for that number
of games and as many as Bob
Meusel, who holds the record, drove
in in six games against the New
YORK Giants IN the 1923 series.
OverShadows All
Everything that has happened in
this series has been overShadoweJ
by the heroic work of these two
big, clustering ball players.
Ruth is leading the hitters with
an average of .636 and Gehrig is
close behind with 556. Ruth has
scored six runs and made sever
hits, leading all players in both
departments. Gehrig has scored
four runs and collected five hits.
three home runs, double and q
single, or an average of a triple for
each hit.
Aside from Ruth's hitting he has
played splendid ball afield. Gehrig's
fielding also has been f1awless.
Ruth and Gehrig have stolen the
whole show, and the combined ef-
forts of the National League cham
pions to get them off the stage have
made the 1928 world series almost
| ludicrous.

When the curtain fell on the lit
tie worlds series here Saturday aft
ernoon, Bruno Betzers Indians were
in possession of the honorS by five
games to one for Rochester, and
the Tribe richly deserves the laurels.
Seven battles we're staged, four in
the International League city and
! three here, and the HooSiers estab-
Hshed their superiority at both ends,
winning two, losing one and tying
one in Rochester and taking three
in a row here. 1t was nearly clean
sweep.
Burwell and Bell
Bill BurWell went the full route
ON the Indian mound Saturday and
defeated Herman Bell, 4 to 3, the
Red Wings fighting hard until the
last inning when they showed across
two runs and had the tying run on
base when Reb Russell took Harry
Layne's fly for the game-ending and
series ending out.
Wild Matthews led the Tribe at
tack Saturday with two singles ana
a double. the Hoosier safety total
being nine and the Rochester total
ten. Pete Monahan, Red Wing -l-st
sacker. also starred at bat with
triple and two singles.
Tribe Scores Early
The Indians got away to hylng
start with one run in the hrst IN
ming and three in the second, after
which Bell stopped them, but it was
enough. Burwell BANKED the Wings
until the sixth when one run scored
and in the ninth Rochester got its
other two. Errors by Shortstop Gel
bert were costly to Bell and put the
Indians on the way to victory.
Indianapolis really outclassed
Rochester, as the series statistics
show. the American Associations
pennant winners making more hits,
more runs and showing a stronger
pitching staff by far. And the In
dians committed less errors. The
winning pitchers for indianapolis
were Swetonic. with three; Lever
ett and Burwell. McCracken was
credited with the lone victory reG-
istered by the Wings.
indianapolis fell down in sup
orting its champions, the attend

FRIDAY and 3.433 Saturday The to-

the inscription, american Assocla-
