MOHANKS LOSE;
No DISGRACE

Rob Roy Mackey's MohawkS
inaugurated their season auspi-
ciously yesterday despite the fact
they lost by a 6 to score to the
powerful Overlook White Jack
cts, professional football cham
pions of Philadelphia. at Griffith
Stadium before 800 loyal fans.
The loss to the White Jackets is
no disgrace as the Philadelphia
outfit had several former All
Americans in its lineup. Even
at that the Mohawks outplayed
the visitors, making 10 first
downs to the Jackets 2.
The MohawkS had several gol-
den opportunities to score. In the
very first period, the Southeast
eleven pushed the oval to the
Quaker City's huskies' II and 20
yard stripes due to the brilliant
running of John Howard, but
fumbles proved costly.
The White Jackets scored the
lone touchdown of the afternoon
when Mat Hutchinson, former
West Pointer, standing on the
Hawks 30-yard line shot a pass
and "Snitz" Snyder, ex-Mary-
land star, safety man for the
Mohawks, trying to knock the
ball down on the edge of the goal
line, smacked it into the waiting
arms of Bob Brandenberg. right
half back of the Jackets. That 6
points proved to be mighty handy
as the score indicates.

Yank Parade
Batters
BY NICK ALTROCK

CHICAGO, Oct. Swell, the
Yanks put on their usual parade
of the wooden soldiers with bats
in the fourth and final world
series games. About half a dozen
pitchers had a nice place in the
reviewing stand watching singles,
doubles and homers whistle past.
And more than $4,000 Chicagoans
played Hockey from Sunday
school to watch the worst Slaugh-
ter the city has had since the st.
Valentines day massacre.
The Cubs have only got one
satisfaction in dropping four
games straight. They will put a
lot of folks to work mailing back
the ticket money for game No. s..
Babe Ruth didn't rave much of
matinee at bat. But Babe got
bigger roar from the crowd for
striking out twice than Governor
Roosevelt collected on his entire
Western tour.
In the field. the Bambino was
pretty spry yesterday. You know,
up to now Babe has been cover
ing his outfield territory like
Sitting Bull. But no matter what
he does with his glove or bat.
Babe is always a ball games head
man. He doesn't have to be
wrapped in cellophane to sell him
self to the public. And don't over
look the fact that in this series
Babe broke more records than a
bull in a phonograph shop.

Yanks Rub It In

Oh yes, the Yanks won the
series, by the way. but of course
that isn't new, because every
one knew in the first place they
would win. It would have been
bigger and better news had the
Cubs won-but there we go, let
ting our imagination carry us
away again.
The Yanks not only won the
last game 13 to 6 but they
rubbed it in, to the point where
the Sabbath Day customers
were about to yell, Stop the
fight before they kill EN-"
Long into the shades of eve
ming when the Yanks had
enough runs to carry them
through next years series, they
were still compiling them. 1t
was something like a run on a
bank, or forest fire-there
seemed to be nothing which
could be done about the situa-
ton. So $4,000 sat amazed and
let nature take it's course, many
of the natives leaving after the
slaughter, hanging their heads
in shame.

.LAND|S OFFERS
SOLACE To CUBS

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-The thor
oughly chastised Chicago Cubs
today had the consolation of
cheering words from Baseball
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands
to assuage their grief over
losing the world series.
Immediately after the fourth
and last game Judge Lands
went to the Cubs clubhouse to
comfort the downhearted boys
To Charlie Grimm, their man
ager, he said:
You did a fine job when
you pilOted this club to a
championship and you and your
men put up great fight
against the Yankees and 1
want to offer you my con-
gratulatiOns. My advice to
you, young man, is to forget
all about the world series. For
get about today; remember
that it's tomorrow that counts"
Thanks, Judge" replied
Grimm, shaking the commits
SiOner'S hand. 1--WE did our
best, but it just wasn't good
enough. Mccarthy has a great
ball club and 1 don't consider
it a disgrace to be beaten by
it,"

CHAPMAN MADE
VITAL CATCH
Of SERIES
By VERNON LEFTY" GOMEZ

Dy NEnANON LEX OOMEA
EN- ROUTE TO NEW YORK,
Oct. Swell, boys, the club that
was going to murder the ball
against us couldn't even be
charged with felonious assault,
I've heard it said that the
Yankees of 1882 we're not the
greatest clup in the history of
the game. We never said we
were. But we we're great enough
to win the pennant and smother
the Cubs in four straight. The
Yanks of 1927 didn't do any
better than that.
What were the outstanding
features of the series? That's
easy. There was the hitting of
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Pitchers Dilemma
What is a pitcher going to do
when he comes up in the middle
innings of a ball game with those
fellows coming into bat?
I'm going to say right now that
Chapman's catch of Herman'S
drive in the opening game had a
great bearing on the outcome OF
the series. There were three on
base then, and the score was to
2 in our favor. If that ball ever
got through the score would have
been 5 to in favor of the Cubs.
The Yankees played the great
est single inning of the series
Yesterday and Frank CroSetti was
the hero. In the fifth inning he
tore down the left field foul line
and took English'S foul off the
fence. 1t took lot If nerve to
do that. Right after that he shot
across the infield and fielded
Cuyler's grounder.
Real ShOrtstOp
There was the play that took
a real shortstop. Crosetti had to
start fast on that ball, he had
to make bare-handed grab and
make a perfect throw.
Another thing about that Sc
ries that made great impress
sion on me was the relief pitch
ing of Herbert Pennock. Pen
mock was my teacher Some day
hope to be half the pitcher
that he is right now. Pennock
stepped in there two days in sue
cession and stopped the Cubs
dead.
Lon Warneke was the only
pitcher who went the route with
us. Bush was knocked out twice,
Charley Root and the others
went the same way. was
nothing against them; they just
didn't have the ball club.
The Washington times., 1932-10-03
Another Lady Stars

And speaking of lady fielders,
q lady fan at the Sunday game
also speared a foul ball, but it
was not so sensational a job.
That is to say she used both
hands. and she was wearing a
white glove on each, which does
not compare in any way with a
bare handed lady catch, such
as the crowd witnessed Satur-
day. 1t may be that Chicago
intends going into the lady play
ing phase of baseball, what with
these two fair catches. You
know out here they have a real
problem on their hands at
Wrigley Field.
The town is so infested with
lady bugs, that when the Cubs
first started ladies day it soon
became overrun with lady bugs
to the extent there was no room
left on such occasions for cash
gentlemen customers.
So they started system
whereby the ladies had to write
in in advance, for free coupons,
admitting them on Ladies Day
Whereon the fresh young boys
Of the community wrote letters,
signing womens names and
and started selling the coupons
they got in advance for two
bits each to ladies who had not
been fortunate enough to get
q free ticket.
Just what this Ladies Day en-
terprise has done is demon
stated by these two extraordi-
nary lady catches and if the
series had have hung on until
today, perhaps another lady
would have an opportunity to
start.
Therefore, another year. the
Cubs may be expected to have
an all-lady team. and if this
should come to pass, it can't
do any worse than the edition
which has just staggered
through one of the worst world
series on record.

GRIMM
DIRECTION
Of TEAM
BY BABE RUTH

EN- ROUTE TO NEW YORK,
Oct. Swell, another series has
gone into the records and l do
not think there will be any dis
pute in the assertion that the
Yankees had a little too much Of
everything for the Cubs. We got
heavy hitting when it was needed.
our pitchers held up better than
theirs and we had more in re.
serve when the pincheS came
AS a proof of this just look at
the sort of pitching which Wiley
Moore and Herb Pennock showed
yesterday after we had gotten off
to a poor start. 1 expected that
Johnny Allen would be able to
stand the Cubs on their heads
but they stepped up and gave him
such rousing welcome that we
were trailing on a four-one score
as early as the first inning.
No Sign of Quitting
There never was any sign Of
quitting by the Cubs. They
trailed all the time from the
first game but never gave up.
Charley Grimm directed his
players in good style and nothing
that happened was due to poor
work by the Cub boss. I think
the Cubs are better than they
played in the series. though not
good enough to win.
I rate Lou Gehrig as the out
standing player of the series,
with more hits than any other
player, with three home runs,
with eight runs batted home. and
always threat which meant so
much to our team.
We beat the Cubs by getting
the early jump on them, by max
ing it necessary for Bush and
Warneke to come back before they
had enough rest, and because we
had steadier pitching and a
heavier punch.
Cubs Overmatched
Please do not take it as brag-
ging when I express the opinion
that the Cubs were overmatched
in this series. They have a good
hustling team. with plenty Of
courage. but it happened his year
that their league did not have a
real standout team. The league
had several good clubs, while the
American League had three or
four which thoroughly outciaSsed
the field. The result was a great
race in the National League and
a poor one in the American. When
the series came we had the edge.

YANKS FOUND
CUBS EASY
VICTIMS
BY JACK LAIT

ENROUTE TO NEW YORK,
Oct. 3.-Ruth and Gehrig had a
day without home runs. So, what?
So Combs got one and Lazerri
got two. The Cubs ran-for, batted-
for, pitched-for and caught-for;
Grimm did his grimmest. The
strength of the fine Chicago team
was all used and all wasted. The
Yanks were skating even when
they were behind. They threw
wild and fumbled, they loafed and
they laughed. 1t was the last
word in the porting axiom Of
the good little man against the
good big man. The Yanks are
very big. They can take it, plenty.
In three of the four games the
Cubs had the lead. To us back
of the plate there was never a
feeling that the Cubs would win.
Star in Making
The YankS will be stronger next
season, if that can be visualized.
Crosetti, the h. -deSt-lucked hitter
in the series and the turner-in OF
the most sensational stops and
catches and the most bushy bob
bles, is a star in the making,
both at short and with the stick.
Dickey gets better every day in
every way, though his series
throwing was no rave. The Yank
batters can stop any pitching
staff in Sigrt, and the Yank
pitchers can stop any batting line
up in sight.
The YankS are the surest cinch
in the world for next years league
and world pennants. The Cubs
have a budding bearcat in Jurges,
who, like Crosetti and all young
players in tight spots, outdoes him.
self in flaming plays and fumbles
simple chances. but who can't
fail in time. Crosetti and Jurges
will be aces when Babe Ruth will
be sitting in the stands with the
reporters, explaining why and re-
calling when.
Yanks Scattering
The arrogant Yanks, with only
19 hits to account for noising up
mid-western Sunday. scattered
last night. Those who live in
New York are heading there.
The others are on their way to
the other three points of tie COM
pass, as is the blow-off each yaer-
end with professional clubs. They
will have meat on the table and
they will be heroes at home.
Thus endeth again the annual
American sports classic. Unlike
1881, no Merriwell tag. TIE bully
won. The little fellow usually
wins in the famous fiction stories.
That's why they're famous-and
fiction.
The Washington times., 1932-10-03

The performers in the classic
just ended will divide a 363,822.27
melon as compared with the re-
ward of $419,736.6O which went
to the players of the 1928 Yankee
Cards series, which stands as the
record.
Of the grand total the victorious
Yanks fell heirs to $152,805. 5.35,
while $1Ol,87O.24 goes to the van
quished Cubs. Each Yankee will
receive approximately $4,000. The
Cub regular gets about $4,OO8.

A foul came back up to her,
and she rose in her seat for it
like a fish rising for bait,
stabbed it with one bare hand
and sat down so quickly her
identity was lost among the sea
Of faces.
There's been nothing half so
sensational about any piece of
fielding of the set, as in that
lady's gesture. Of course that
only goes for the defensive work
of the series. But it was such
a gem that there is talk here
abouts to the effect Cub play
ers will hold another huddle
and award the lady that extra
half of a share they failed to
cut-in Mark Koenig upon. They
may throw in Rogers Hornsby's
forbidden share also.
