(This is the fourth in a series Of four World Series games)
By DILLON GRAHAM

AT fcSturc service writer
 The New York Giants finally found the winning stride again in 1S2l-their last string of successes under McGraw--and established a record by competing in four straight World Series.
 The Subway Series was born that year, For three consecutive seasons the Giants foes were the New York Yankees, rivals from across the Harlem River, a mighty hitting array headed by Babe Ruth, who blasted 59 homers in 1921, and managed by little Miller i Higgins
 The Tanks were away to a flying start, winning the opening two ] games, but the McGrawmen ral- ] lied to take the championship, 5-3. ] Jesse Barnes and Phil Douglas each won two games. The Giants had an even easier time the fol- lowing fall The best the Yankees could do was to tie the second game in 10 innings, while th e Giants won the other four. Slugger Stengel The big guns of the Yankees finally found the range in 1923 and whipped the Giants, Az Crafty Herb Pennock won two games. Both of the Giants victories came through home runs by Casey Sten- gel.
 In 1924 Washington came up with a young manager, Bucky liar ris, beat out the Yankees for the American league pennant and then bested the Giants, 4-3, in the fall classic Washington toasted Harris as boy wonder as the Capitol city celebrated its first pennant and it's only world championship.
 The series was the first for Walter Johnson, Washington's great right-hander, after 18 years in the big show He carried the hopes of the fans every time he pitched but lost both of his starts. In the end fortune was with him, for Johnson was called in to save the final game. He silenced the Giants bats through the innings until the Senators fin ally pushed across the deciding run in the 18th.
 Changes Fate
 Harris led the Senators to an- other pennant in 1925 but Pitts burgh, under Will McKechnie, won

He Doesn't Speak; Mules Kill Him

CHICAGO, Kicks from two mules were blamed for the death of their owner, Louis Metz, former magistrate of Flossmoor.
 Before he died, Metz told Police Chief Joseph Dineen that it was not the fault of the mules.
 T stepped into the stable be- hind them," he said, "and forgot to talk to them, as I always did. Not recognizing me, they both kicked. When I fell they tram pied me"

The advantages of this forma- tion include the power it affords on plays inside and outside the tackle to the strong side; pull out" men or interferers come from good spots; it affords good reverse strength, a good quick punch through the middle; it is we'll set up for passes with three men down the field fast; and the tailback is deep enough to quick kick and get off passes fast. Natu- rally, there are disadvantages, too, as is the case in all types of offense. q
