CUBS TO SEND DAVIS

CHICAGO, October 7.-One game
on the way toward getting even
for some of the recent abuse heaped
upon them by the White Sox, Charley
Grimm's Cubs sent Right-hander Curt
Davis out today after their second
straight victory in Chicagos city base
ball title series.
The Cuhs. backing up Tex Carle-
tons five-hit hurting with a 15-hit
blast at Teddy Lyons and Bill Dietrich

drought by winning the opening game,
Z to 3, before 1889 customers at
Comiskey Park. The drought, which
started with the final game Of the
1881 series, had extended to nine
straight defeats, the other eight hav-
ing been collected by the American
Leaguers in patches Of four in q row
in 1888 and 1886.
Davis, the hottest" Of the Cub
pitchers during the closing days Of
their futile struggle to overhaul the

the New York Yankees don't win
that big world series they can't blame
it on their International League farm
hands, the Newark Bears, for he BUSH
ers showed 'em how by wrapping up
and tucking away the little world
series championship.
While the papa" Yanks are out in

the Giants, the baby" Yanks won
their laurels the hard way-and proved
their claims to the title of the wonder
club of the minors"
They clinched the championship on
a muddy diamond here last night by
runping over the Columbus Red Birds,
American Association champs, by 10
to 4, for their fourth straight victory.
The Red Birds had won the first three
at Newark, but the Bears had the
punch in the pinch after the trek West
and Columbus didn't have a chance.
AS a result of their win the Bears
took down $63624 each from the play
ers' pool of bit more than $22, 1000,
while the Birds became richer by
$40488 each.

No Spot for a Freshman.

THE spot wasn't calculated to appeal

one as insensible to excitement as Mel

after having watched the Incompatible
Hubbell get his bumps in yesterdays
nightmarish sixth inning, when the
Yanks scored seven Of their eight runs.
With the right kind of infleld de-
tense behind him, Carlos could have
escaped with maybe run or two That
is something Giant pitchers have
learned to expect. Yet when Hubbell
momentarily lost what his battery
mate, Gus Mancuso, called "the fine
edge of his stuff" his supporting cast
promptly went to pieces That, as
Manager Bill Terry admitted later, is
bad.

NEW YORK, October 7.-Bill Nc
Kechnie will be the next mana
ger of the Cincinnati Reds.
From a reliable source among the
base ball clan gathered here for the
World Series, it was declared today
that McKechnie shortly will be named
officially to succeed Chuck Dresser,
who was released before the major
league closed.
McKechnie, whose work with the
Boston Bees this year earned the
plaudits of the National League, will
sign contract for $25,000, it was said.
McKechnie, went the report, slipped
quietly from his home in Williamsburg,

cinnati to huddle with General Mana
ger Warren Giles of the Reds, and
flew back home.

Hubbell Not Unneryed.

IT WAS strange to see as good ball
club as the Giants undoubtedly
are go to pot that way. Just before
1t happened Hubbell had retired IA
straight Yankees. He had them badly
puzzled, biting at his sweeping curve
and swingly wildly at his screw ball.
The Giants looked smart afield and
confident
Then Hubbell's first pitch in the
sixth nearly beaned Gomez. The
Yankee hurler, who can't hit a lick,
dropped into the dirt and took long
time getting ready to bat again. Some
thought the incident might have
shaken Hubbell but the Giant leftie,
In the club house later, said not.
Anyway, he walked Gomez, and that
appeared to open the flood gates Be-
fore it ended the Yanks had made
seven runs on five hits, four walks
and errors by Dick Bartell and Bur-
CESS Whitehead. What had promised
to be thrilling game became a farce,
and the fans began to leave. The
home run that Tony Lazzeri hit off
AL Smith, fourth Giant pitcher, in the
eighth inning didn't matter at all.

Bartell's Error Blamed.

TERRY was inclined to blame the
debacle on the fact that Bartell.
after taking Gus Mancusos perfect
peg that caught Gobez far off second,
dropped the ball. If he had held it,
the Yankees would have had only a
man on first with one out, and the
disaster might have been averted. AS
1t was, four of the next six Yanks
clouted Hubbell for singles and an
other drew walk.
Mancuso, while admitting Hubbell
lost his fine edge, mostly blamed the
cave-in on Umpire Emmett Ormsby,
who was calling them behind the
plate. Ormsby has 13 children of his
own and normally should be kind to
Oklahoma boys, but Mancuso thought
he gave Hubbell all the worst of it.

Bruised but Defiant Giants Nail to Freshman Pitcher
HUbbELL T|GHTENS
TASK FOR MELTON
Terry Feels Bartell Error
to Be Blamed Mostly
for 81 DebaCIe.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, october 7.-Bruised
N by Yankee bats, but defiant
still, the jittery Giants pinned
q their faith on Cliff Melton, the
gawky freshman from the mountains,
to square accounts today and keep
them in the running for the winners
share of the world series swag.
After yesterdays opening exhibition,
when $4,000 fans saw the Giants
pitching and defense fall apart at
once, it looked forlorn hope. Yet the
Giants and their followers were sure
that Melton, who resembles Ichabod
Crane come to life and can pitch like
all getout, would put them even up
again.
Melton, skinning off his uniform in
the funereal Giant dressing room after
yesterdays 8-to-1 rout, said: III sure
be in there trying"
Granted that he would do his very
best and grit his teeth on every throw,
the fact remained that the Yankees
had obtained an important jump by
shelling Carl Hubbell from the prem
ises in the opener, and promised to be
hard to head off.
If Lefty Gomez throttled the Giant
bats yesterday, holding them to sim
gle run on three punched hits in the
fifth inning, there was little reason
to suspect that his big, right-handed
teammate, Rufus (the Red) Ruffing.
might not do the same today. Things,
IN other words, looked gloomy for the
"Jints." Unless Melton comes through,
1t may be all over in hurry.

Odds Soar on YankS.


THE old gentleman farmer is no
rugged individualist in this stand.
The odds against the Yankees losing
the series now are l to S. as quoted
by Broadway's Mr.. Jack Doyle. This
makes the National League entry the
longest shot since David faced Goliath.
David and Goliath That's some
thing like the Giants against the YAM
KEGS. Only David made the most Of
his slingshot and the Giants have shot
their best ammunition and Hubbell
missed the mark. That opening game
defeat really hurt. The Giants had
counted on that one.
You thought you could see
their waning confidence when
tho Yankees began to tee of on
the Thin Man in the sixth in
ming.
There is a suspicion afoot that Bill
Terry's Meal Ticket is about punched
out. Here and there during the
course Of the 1887 pennant race the
more imaginative inhabitants Of the
press boxes claimed to have detected
signs Of wear and tear in the hub.
For q while he was struggling along
without winning games, but when the
chips were piled high on the table
and it was the Giants versus the Cubs
for the flag, Mr.. Long Pants Hubbell
pulled himself together and pitched
the Giants to victory after victory.
