Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. S-The great
est baseball contrast of any World
Series took place today after the
Yankees had walloped the Cubs
for the third straight time and
found themselves only one game
removed from their third straight
world championship.
When the conquering Yankees
trooped into their dressing room
they were as quiet as pallbearers.
The place was silent as a morgue.
There was no back slapping, no
hollering and no apprehension over
what they might expect from the
Cubs in the fourth game of the
series tomorrow. They we're ex-
tremely cocky and confident.
In the adjoining dressing room,
the Cubs, from Manager Gabby
Hartnett down the line, were fight
ing mad. They were more angry
than downhearted. Hartnett was
in a rage and will shake up his line
up in an attempt to turn the tide.
Hartnett paced up and down the
floor, putting on a big black cigar,
and then suddenly screamed at the
top Of his voice:
Boys, I'm going to change the
lineup" he yelled. "I've got to do
something. Reynolds amt hitting,

men on third and first, or with the
bases loaded, to cost them. And
it finally did today.
In the sixth inning this after
noon at Yankee Stadium, with the
score only 2 to in favor Of New
York, the play came up again.
The bases were loaded with one
out and Joe Gordon at the plate.
As usual, the Cub infield came in
close.
Rather than lay back and hope
for a double play the National
Leaguers always come in close to
try for the man at the plate. Even
If the double play doesn't work the
best the other club can get is one
run, unless a hit is made. Today,
in the sixth inning, though, Cor
don slipped q single between Hack
and Jurges and the Yanks got two
runs. II the infield had played
back Gordons ball would have
been a double play and the side
retired with no further scoring.
II that is smart baseball, don't
know as much about the game as
I thought did. It's especially bad
akainst the Yankees. If ali Amer
ican League clubs did that consist
emily, the Yanks would win the
pennant by so games instead Of
only by Is, or so.

Yanks. with four straight victories.
He said that Col. Rupert, who Is
i'll, requested it and that he and
his players we're fred with the
spirit to please him.
THE Cubs have given us a good
fight. but the Yankees have too
much power for them" Mccarthy
said. Lee may give Us trouble to-
morrow, but I think we will get past
him and wind it up. Gordon
showed his class today, both at bat
and on the field. His homer In
the fifth made up for that unfor-
tunate error in the first half Of the
inning"
Pearson Best Cubs Have Seen.
Hartnett lavished praise on the
pitching Of Monte Pearson.
Hes the best we've looked at
yet" he said.
Pearson, who should have scored
. shut-out, was pleased over Hart
nett's comment.
TT was one of the toughest
games I ever pitched" he said.
"You may not believe it, but I was
bearing down on every pitch. I'm
plenty tired now" a.
George Selkirk, the Yankees big
outfielder, insisted that Larry
French deliberately attempted to
bean" him with . fast inside pitch
In the eighth inning. That was

explained. "And I let him have 1t.

and it just didn't break, that's all.
If selkirk had been hit, 1t would
have been Earle Combs fault. He's
been calling out pitches from his
coaching position ut first base and I
thought I'd cross him up"
Moran Was "the" Play.
The 57-year -old Charley Moran,
umpiring at second base. required
two stitches in the left side Of his
upper lip to close q cash caused
when Second Baseman Joe Gordon
of the Yanks fired . ball at first
base in an attempt to nip run

His face was bloody and swollen.

Carl Reynolds held tightly to his
laurels as the all-America bust Of the
series. Reynolds got for today,
bringing his total to IL appearances

The crowd grunted with Manager
Hartnett every time Gabby lunged
at a ball. He just managed to get one
ball out of the infield all day, and no
hits.
Pearson's delivery had the Cubs be-
fuddled. Using a rocking chair mo-

would bark against his knees every
time he wound up.
ALI Spectators Not in Park.
Transit passengers (at nickel a
head) stood on the nearby elevated
train platform for some glances at
the game. Apartment house roofs
across the way were jammed. One
owner refused to let tenants on top
until they had paid their october rent.
Some spectators got a bird's-eye view

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-It took the
Yankee artillery a long time to find
the range again In their home park,
but they bagged the jackpot with their
first hit-Joe Gordon's home run into
the left-field stands.
Monte handed the Cubs pair OF
free bases at the outset, but refused
any Annie Oakley advances to first
base after that. He started bearing
down and for while it looked as if
he might equal Howard Ehmke's
strikeout record of 13 against these

$4,000 P UT UP
TO INSURE" ALL
DIAMOND TAXIS
Moor to Probe Method
of Raising Fund

The Diamond Taxicab Co. to-
day deposited $4,000 with Collec-
tor of Taxes Chatham Towers to
insure the financial responsibility
Of the 1900 cabs operated by its
members.
Under the new taxicab finan-
cial responsibility law which goes
into effect at midnight Sunday,
cab drivers have the alternative
Of taking out accident insurance
policies or depositing a lump sum
with the District.
MOOR TO INVESTIGATE
j. Balch Moor, superintendent
Of insurance, said he will inveSti-
gate the manner in which the
Diamond Cab Company raised its
financial responsibility fund. If
his investigation indicates that the
company is engaging in the
insurance business, Moor said, he
will demand that it apply for an
insurance company license.
Officials of the cab company
declared they intend to allow the
$4,000 to remain intact in
Towers care. All claims will be
paid out of revenues, the company
said.
DELAY IN FILING
Only 125 cab operators in addi-
tion to those of the Diamond Com
pany have filed certificates of fl
nancial responsibility with the
Public Utilities Commission. Rich
mond Keech, vice chairman of the
commission said, however, that he
has learned that most of the cab
drivers already have taken out in
surance policies and are merely
waiting until the last minute to
file their certificates with the COM
mission.
The new law will not cause any
appreciable reduction in the num-
ber of cabs operating here, Keech
predicted. He estimated that ap-
proximately 1000 cabs are now on
the streets.

C., e. Tuttle, president and chair
man Of the RustleSs Iron and Steel

Young Tuttle lately had been
engaged in business here.
Too distressed to journey to
Eastry for the inquest, the elder
Tuttle remained at his hotel here.
He said:
my son had been in England
for three months, travelling and
examining business possibilities.
! Joined him in England three
weeks ago but saw him only
once since then"
worked HARD"
"Hc took his responsibilities
very seriously. Apparently he
had been overworking. I urged
him to take things easier-to get
some fresh air and amusement.
In our final talk we dis
cussed our plans for the future.
He had arranged to sail for
home on August %.
HE failed to turn up before
] left England for a holiday at
lie Touquet.
"DEAR FRIENDS"
1--WE had always been dear
friends and confidants. I know
of no private or personal trouble
from which he could have been
suffering.
How I am going to break

is very i'll. All she knows at the
moment is that Stiles met with
