One feels the urge this time of year To extol the woods before leaves become scar; To get all excited about the October scene And the gradual fade-out of the summer green; To sniff the autumnal clean air scent While unrestrained spirits give vent. The sun sets aglow the maple grove Leaves crunch underfoot as paths you rove; And feecy clouds form fantastic shapes As children scamper snitching apples and grapes.

The Score Was Tied

THE opener was nip and tue I'll
l. the way, and as the ninth hiring
arrived, the score was a to 4. Waite
Hoyt had been knocked from the
mound by a Giant rally in the
third inning, but his successor, Bull
let Joe Bush, had held the Giants
in the hollow of his hand.
Ross Young and Emil Meusel
wen: out in order in the ninth.
Then mighty Casey strobe to the
plate. Ball one, strike one, ball two,
strike two, ball three. Three and
two, and two out in the ninth!
Bullet Joe should have taken
warning. Stengel had been hitting
far over his head all season, and
he was a great money player. But
to Joe, old Casey was just another
clown up there to be moved down,
so he hauled back and let go with
his fast one right down the alley.
There She Goes!
DANG! The ball sailed over
- Shortstop Deacon SCOTS head
and as it sailed it started rising.
Whitley Witt dashed after it, legs
twinkling, but it rolled clear to the
fence as Casey galloped with all
his might around the bases. Witt
whizzed the bali in to Bob. Meusel
who made great throw to the
plate.
BIT Casey took his. slide. and
how he took it! He was only half
way between third and home it
seemed, when he hit the dirt. AS
