Gehrig Shapes Up as Series
Hero; Plans to Salt Winnings;
Cubs Are Formidable at Home

ica.ly; sbut Gehrig busted the ball as
he had done all season
Although he is veteran OF many a
hard-fought American League cam
paign and of three world series, Geh-
rig still is very much unspoiled young
man. Coming West from New York to
attack the Chicago Cubs in their own
lair, some one asked Gehrig what he
intended to do with his series earnings.
AfUNCHING a stalk of celery, Geh-
lvl rig merely pointed to the salt
shaker. His money will go into a
safe investment for the protection OF
himself and his family.
Gehrig is still very much of moth
er's boy. His mother is daily spec
tator at the Yankees home games and
she had a ringSide seat for the two
world series games already played in
New York. Mrs. Gehrig accompanied
Lou and the Yankees to Chicago to see
the completion of the series and her
big boy continue in a stellar role.
A lot of stories about LOUIS affection
for his mother are now being told. Dick
Vidmer is author of the best one 1
have heard so far. Some years ago
the Yankees were completing par
ticularly ardous Spring training trip.
They had transformed across Georgia,
Florida. Texas and Oklahoma. AS
New York and Broadway drew near

in Manhattan they intended visiting.
CEHRIG. seated in the Yankees pri-
" vate car, listened to the conversa-
tion and finally said:
"Well. reckon before I put on the
old uniform again I will have seen my
NOM"
Gehrig has found the Cub pitchers
very much to his liking in this series
and his fielding has been up to his
batting Many brilliant stars have f1iv-
vered in the Fall series, but Gehrig
nearly always has been as successful
as in the regular season.
The Chicago Cubs were depending
on the luck of Wrigley Field to keep
them in the world series chase today.
The Cubs are a great home team. 1t
was on Wrigley Field they staged the
stand that won them the National
League pennant and on their home lot
they expected to turn back the Yam
KEGS.
The Cubs must win this third game
of the series if they are to have a
chance for the world championship. No
team ever came from behind to over
come a three-game deficit. If the
Yankees make it three straight just
wrap up the world title and hand it
to Joe Mccarthy and his band Of
assassins.

for us. and probably George Pipgras
for the Yankees. No matter who
pitches for them, I am confident
Root will win.
I know we have a hard row ahead.
To be a pair of games down to such
a team as the Yankees is a handl-
cap that will take no little effort to
overcome. But I believe SO far we
haven't played the ball We are cap

day. We have outhit the Yankees,
both in number of blows and in to-
tai bases. and We have flelded better.
Our defensive play has been far Su-

when they could locate the plate,
but they were too anxious to hold
the heavy hitters at bay to give them
anything good to hit at. AS a re-
suit, they pitched numerous bad
balls, which put too many men on
base. Imagine 10 bases on balls in
two world series games, and nine OF

l believe now the Yankees will
find it too difficult to hit Charley
Root in his own ball park. He is a

advantage over the Yankees, who are

help from the lights and

factors bothered them in the Yankees

Lou Gehrig is the only active member
of the Yankees who had played in
Wrigley Field. He played with a New
York high school team against the prep
champions of Chicago II years ago and
hit a home run with the bases full in
the final game of the series.

" a distinct Improvement in 1882
over 1881, the final unofficial
batting marks for the season which
ended last week reveal Nearly every

than the "firsts" of year ago. But
pitching performances also looked up.
Frank Lefty" ODoul of Brooklyn
captured the batting championship with
1866 average In 1881, 3489 mark
gave Chick Hafey of st. Louis the lead
by a fraction of a point. O'Dowl also

The highest marks in the various
slugging departments were 154 runs by
Chuck Klein of Philadelphia, 225 hits
by Klein, and Bill Terry of New York;
SO doubles by Paul Waner of Pitts
burgh, new league record; 19 triples
by Babe Herman of Cincinnati, SO home
runs by Klein and Mel OFT of New
York and 14l runs batted in by Don
Hurst Of Philadelphia.
After leading through most of the
season, Klein was tied or beaten at the
end in everything but runs Even his
base-steaLng mark of 20 thefts was tied
by Tony Piet of Pittsburgh.
Terry Finishes With Rush.
Terry, who hit at a terrific clip in
the last few weeks, took second place
among the leading regulars with a
.349 average Behind him came Klein.

In addition to Paul Waner's doubles,

high cards. Pipgras seems to be the
man for the job. and if he's not
right we'll still feet we'll off with
Allen, Brown, Moore, Wells and PEN

Don't fuss about Babe Ruth.
He'll hit before the series is much
older. He's fixing to get going
almost any minute. and he's too fine
a ball player to be counted out just
because he hasn't hit much so far.
The train ride and the break in
the series doesn't affect our club
much one way or the other. If
anything, the rest did us good. A
fellow can get tired, even when he's
on the winning side.
I'm glad the Chicago fans feel
the way they do about the series.
New York didn't make much of
fuss over us, but the reception we
got here was a beauty. A world
series isn't much good to a city if it
fails to entertain.
You can't blame the players if
each and every game isn't thriller.
They're interested in winning and
not in the dramatic effect.
I'm speaking for the whole Yankee
team when I say I am glad the
tickets are all sold out here.
