In Bout With Roy

SAN BENIT0, June Featured
BY the clever exhibition of boxing
given by Patsy Peck, Mission ANA

speed, ability to hit, a fair guard,
and indications that he can stand a

Peck outclassed Wallace, but the
local boy put up a good match with
him, and showed a willingness to
swap punches. The Mission boxer
never let himself 20. but showed
some fast and clever work. particu-
larly with a series Of jolting left
Jabs which he uses at long range.
The match between the two was
the feature Of the card which includ-

wrestling bouts. all Of which pleased
the fans.
The Flying Dutchman, Hans Delfo

too experienced for Wilcox of Mis-

encounter, and, although Delfo did
not get a fall in the first round. the
second round was changed into an

Delfo has more speed than his

HOYT LAUDS TEAM
SPIRIT OF YANKEES
Pitching Ace Credits Mana
ger Higgins With Being
Master Psychologist.
BY WAITE HOYT,
Pitcher, New York Yankees.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, October 81 can
not quite understand the Cardinals. I
am convinced of one thing: They are
a great ball club, capable of much bet
ter base ball than they have shown so
far. The trimming we administered
yesterday to the National League cham
pions is not convincing proof of their
inferiority. OF course, the Red Birds
have not hit as we'll as the Yankees,
but the total number of hits gathered
by either team has not been so great.
Yesterday the Cards outhit US, but
their SWatting was not of a telling
nature. Rather, they profited by the
hard 1nfield, which enabled them to
compile their total through an unsatis-
factory method. Higgins said on the
bench after one of those dubious bin
giles:
II don't care if they get 90 of that
kind of singles, so long as they don't
couple 1t with an extra base HIT
Taxing all in all, the Cardinals have
not shown determined attack, which
can be proved by the number of extra
base hits they have registered so far.
Their defense has been good-here par
ticularly.
The Yankees, know, hate to play
in this ball park, due to the uncertain
conditions which make expert ball play
ing impossible. 1 dare say If yester-
days game had been played in the
Yankee stadium the Cards again would
have been limited to four hits.
Should we win today will be par
ticularly happy. I expect to pitch the
game. If we do, besides giving me the
exultation of gaining a personal VIC
tory, 1t will establish the present
Yankees as one of the greatest base ball
organizations ever gotten together.
To win eight straight games in two
consecutive world series is entirely I'M
believable, yet the chance is ours.
Our team spirit is incompatible
There is never a Squabble or even a
discussion about what should have
been done. One hundred and thirty
pounds of man, called Miller Higgins
Is responsible for that. Supposedly
having no color, he is without doubt
the best psychologist in base ball, and
is able in few words of convincing
his ball club just what team spirit
means. A leader first, last and always
BY the way, do not forget Tom
Zachary, who gave tremendous ex.
hibition Of nerve and skill in winning
the third game. Tom has not the speed
of Lefty Grove, or the overland curve
of Pennock, yet he has heart, GOODNESS
experience and the desire to win. He
is worthy of mentioning as one of the
real great world series pitchers. Al
due credit to you, Tom!

SOX DEFEAT CUBS
IN FIFTH OF SERIES
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 8.-The White
Sox have bounded back into the run
ming again for the city base ball cham
pionship.
Behind four-hit pitching by Tommy
Thomas and some alright fielding,
Lena Blackburne's hustling players
took the fifth game Of the series from
their Cub rivals, to 0, before $4,000
fans yesterday. Today the series stood
to in favor of the Cubs.
Thomas was almost invincible. Only
once was he in trouble and that time
he subdued the threat by striking out
two of the Cubs leading stick wielders,
Hack Wilson and Kiki Cuyler. The
winning runs were scored in the first
inning on a single by ShireS and
doubles by Falk and Hunnef1eld.
Pat Malone, who beat the Hose In
the first game of the series, pitched
good ball, but had to be relieved in the
eighth inning for a pinch hitter.
Charlie Root succeeded him.
The paid attendance for the i've
games totaled 148,371, with the re-
ceipts officially placed at $155,122.
The players share for the first four
games was $57,458.70. The Clubs share
was $75.936.32.

SIDELICHTS ON SERIES

The Bambino and his hitting partner,
Lou Gehrig, also have designs on the
high individual batting mark for one
series. For three games their marks
were 1886 and $50 respectively, with
Ruth especially having good chance
to diSplace the record of .545 made by
Sergt. Hank Gowdy while catching for
the Braves in their gallop over the Ath-
leticS in 1914.
A record players pool of well in ex-
cess of 100000, mark never before
reached, seems assured.
Tom Zachary, who has won three
world series games and never lost one,
is modest chap Before the series
opened the left-hander was approached
by friend at the Yankee Stadium.
How are you, Zach?"

his defensive strategy, sending Leo Du-
| rocher to second base in place OF Tony

First Baseman, s

First Baseman, st. Louis Cardinals.
ST. LOUIS, October s.-welll We
have no excuses to offer for our defeat
yesterday.
We helped the Yanks, they helped
themselves and the combination placed
us three games behind. We simply
could not get sustained attack under
way to develop our openings, whereas
the Yankees we're successful in con-
verting our shortcomings in the sixth
inning into their most fruitful rally Of
the day.
We gathered two more hits than we
had totaled in the first two games of
the series. The hits, however, were too
scattered. We punched them only
twice, in the 1irst inning and again
in the eighth, but our two singles in
the eighth we're voided when Koenig
and Durocher executed a fast double
play on Wilson's hard ground ball.
The story was similar to that of the
second game, as far as our attack was
concerned. We had Pipgras on the
ropes and permitted him to escape and
several times yesterday We had Zach
airy in trouble. Then just when we re-
quired the finishing touch we were I'M
able to muster it, failing to extend our
attacks in the first inning, the second,
fifth, seventh and eighth.
In these failures must give due
credit to Tom Zachary. He pitched
brilliant base ball in the pincheS.
Haines deserved a better fate. He
pitched good game, despite the two
home runs by Gehrig, and he would
have come out of that sixth inning
hole without run scored against him
had our defense held him up.
With three defeats against us and
with no victories to our credit, we GER
tainly appear to be in a bad spot.
However, you can bet, we'll be out
there trying today and tomorrow. We
still have a chance, even though the
Yanks need only one more victory to
clinch the title.

Although Dorothy White, the District

runner-up to Miss White for the Dis
trict title last year.
Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow of Baltimore,
who has won the title for the past two
years, is not defending her champion
ship this year. Her failure to enter
leaves Miss Virginia HolZderber of Bal

pion. as the outstanding favorite to win.
But a number of prominent Virginia
golfers have entered for the title chase,
among them Louise Branch and Mrs
w. Barham Jones, both of whom have
national ratings and are ranked as
among the best in the Midatlantic

HARRIS IS IN DETROIT
TO TALK WITH NAVIN

Whether Stanley Harris, depOsed
manager of the Nationals, will sue
coed George Moriarty as pilot of the
Tigers may be known within a day
or two.
Harris left Washington last night
supposedly for Detroit, where it is
believed he is to confer with Presi-
dent Frank ]. Navin. The latter is
said to be seriously considering the
acquisition of Harris as field leader
of the Bengals.
President Clark Griffith Of the 10
cal club announced at the time Har-
ris was relieved of his managerial
duties here that he would do all in
his power to help him land another
berth as pilot, so some interesting
news may be forthcoming from the
Michigan metropolis tomorrow or
the next day.
