No. building the Greatest
Team"
TINE greatest master minds OF
base ball, Mack and Nc
Graw, were pitted against
each other for the first
time in the world championship OF
1905, signalling the dawn OF a
new era in the game.
Boston had played on unofficial
world series" with Pittsburgh as
a poSt-seaSon transforming stunt
in 1908, but the first legal battle
between the two major leagues for
the title was conducted two years
later under regulations which
since have governed the competi-
ton. Peace had been declared
and the ancient National League
accepted it's new rival on an equal
footing.
Contrast the financial picture
of the first modern world series
with the million dollar spectacles
to which the American base ball
public became accustomed In post
war boom days!
The total attendance for the five
games played by the Giants and Ath-
letics was 1,723, an average OF about
10000 as compared with the record OF
63 500 at the Yankee Stadium in 1925.
The total receipts were $68, ABS, of
which $27, 394.20 was split among the
players, each Giant collecting SLAP
and each Mackman 1892.
In 1923 each member of the winning
New York Yankees collected $6,l43.49

Christy Mathewson had more to do

every one of which was a shutout, and

Pittsburgh required two innings to
ruin Brooklyn's hopes with 7-to-6
victory Trailing, 80, after the first
two innings, the Pirates assaulted Wat
son Clark for 4 runs in the third and
drove him from the mound with 3
more in the fourth. Luque and Phelps
stopped the Pirates, but the Robins
could not make enough Roadway
against Erwin Brames hurting to over
come that lead
The Giants pulled out neat 6-to-4
triumph over Cincinnati in the first
half of their double bill, but had one
bad inning in the second and lost, to
6. The Reds found Bill Walker for
runs in the second and 5-run seventh
against 81 johnson could not beat
them.
The American League turned itself
into something like testing ground for
new material. The st. Louis Browns
gave the greatest display of new talent
as they split a twin card with the
champion Philadelphia Athletics. Five
youngsters, including three infielders,
helped the Browns win an 8-to-4 de-
ciSion. They failed to keep up the
pace in the second game, as the AS,
with four of their reserves in action,
clouted Sammy Gray and his two sue
cessors for II hits. to gain a 10-to-4
triumph. Goose Goslin did his bit for
the Browns with homer in each game.
The New York Yankees tossed 81
players into the fray against Chicago's
young White Sox, who retained q
chance to tie st. Louis for sixth place
by slamming out a 15-to-7 triumph.
With the veteran Jack Russell pitch
ing against Willis Hudlin and Wesley
Terrell, the last-place Boston Red Sox
slammed out five runs in the tenth to
defeat Cleveland, 8 to 4. Two expert
enced pitchers, Irwin Hadley and Earl
Whitehill, held the center Of the stage
at Detroit, where the Tigers scored q
4-to-3 10-inning triumph over WASH
ington as Spencer overthrow third try
ing to nip johnson In double steal.

Brooklyn's Robins dropped their
fifth straight game. The New
York Giants lost everything but
a mathematical chance Of tying
the league leaders as they d.
vided a double-head with Gin
cinnati. Chicago regained half a
game and took a clear hold on
second place by beating the Bos-
ton Braves, 4 to 2.
A home run by Gabby Hartnett with
Cliff Heathcote on base was required
to win for Chicago, as Pat Malone and
Ben Cantwell pitched an even battle.
The victory left the Cubs two and one

with the others trailing at orle-game

One for the book, that triple play.
THIS freak bit of fielding came too
i late, though, to do the Nationals
much good at the time, for the
Tigers already had put over two runs
in the inning to boost to three their
total of runs. Doljack's single, Hadley's
wild pitch, sacrifice and Whitehill's
single with two out netted the Tigers
a tally in the second, and before the
triple play in the third Gehringer's one
baSer, McManus' stroll. Cronin's tumble
and Alexander's grounder and Doljack's
single were good for two more markers
These two markers also broke tie,
for the Nationals had counted once in
the third with Hadley's single, Akers'
error, a steal by Bump and Cronin's
one-base blow. In the seventh the Ma
tionals again deadlocked the game. how
ever. Hadley's walk, Meyers double.
Rice'S long sacrifice hoist and Manush's
single produced the two runs needed
for a tie.
And then it was desperate battle to
