M. J. Spalding, who spends
these long afternoons, both hot
and cool, rises to break a lance
with the writer in the matter of
the Chapman two-base hit. Sez he :
II am a daily reader Of your
column. You seem to be all
worked up over that twO-baSe
hit of Chapman'S which you,
and others who sit so far away
from where the ball struck,
thought was home run. The
ball NEVER entered the stands.
If 1 had a glove on, / could
have reached out and caught
the ball. The umpire was right"
Thank you, M. j. Spalding, not
only for reading this column, but
for writing in to tell me the real
truth on something. Harry Geisel,
who made the decision, is one of
the writer's close personal friends,
and it hurt me more than it hurt
him to have to level criticism at
him for decision.
Whitehead made a sweet play
in the opening inning on Kuhel.
Joe SlaShed one down to Bonura,
the ball bouncing off the first
sacker's chest. Whitehead rushed
to the bag and Bonura recovered
in time to make nice throw for
a fine put out.
Kuhel missed what looked like
an easy play on Rosenthal in the
third inning. The SoX star slapped
the ball directly down the base
line and Kuhel let the ball get
away.
Stone lost a chance to do some
run producing in the third, but
he whacked Solidly into a double
play, and that was that. Stone,
incidentally, gave fine talk over
the radio on Thursday night, talk
ing intimately of baseball and hit
terS in general.
There was a passel Of oratory
over the decision on Whitehead in
the fourth. Quite obviously, the
ball hit in the batter's box and
was kicked by the pitcher. Twas
just a foul ball.
I see by the papers that the
Yankees are Short-enders in the
world series, with Jack Doyle, OF
New York, quoting them at 7 to
10. Maybe the dopeSterS are right
but somehow or other, the Ameri.
can League is anything but a
great league this year, and it is
likely that the Yankees will have
no picnic with the National
League club.
If the Giants can come close to
keeping up drive now, they will
come pretty close to winning the
world series.
SentimentalistS will sound the
note of pathos if the Giants and
Yankees meet. The last time these
two teams met John j. McGraw
the Little Napoleon" and Miller
]. Higgins, the Iron Duke" lee
their teams. McGraw won two
out of the three world series.

GRlST OF THE GRIFFS
By Frank "Buck" O'NeiII

The teams hit in spurts. The
SoX got three hits in the third in
ming. Our noble athletes got
three hits in the second.
We had bit of an unusual play
in the seventh. After Chapman
returned RoSenthals single, one
which Radcliffe scored, Appleton
cut off the throw, and RoSenthal
was trapped en- route to second.
In the run-up that followed, Mike
Kreevich, who had advanced to
third on RoSenthaPs blow, sneaked
home. Kuhel threw to Bolton too
late to stop the run.
Lewis almost cut the legs off
Bucky Harris with a foul liner in
the fifth inning.
Chapman walked in the fifth
frame and stole second by at least
10 feet.
Reynolds tried to steal second,
but was safe only because Appling
dropped good throw.
OSSle bluege gave Cne IanS q
real chance for some real cheer
ing when he leaped high in the
air to snag a liner by Luke Ap-
pling. There was a bit of luck in
the capture, but these things must
ever be.
Hill hit deep to Appling in the
seventh inning, and fairly flew to
first. But the ball got there first
on Appling's dandy throw.
