YANKEE STADIUM. Oct. 1...]

....The Yankees were still on
their batting rampage yesterday
and started right after Mr. Bent-
iey who was the SOleCllon ot Jawn
McGraw to do mound duty in
the very first inning. and scored
three runs. The final score was
8-1. Bentley, who made quite a
reputation down around Balti-
more with his famous home-run
wallops did not stay in the
game very long yesterday, and
was given the hook in the second
inning.

On the other hand Joe Bush. with
his red fianncls shining brighter
than ever. continued to throw them
up to the plate at the Giant batters
during the entire nine innings and
none of them seemed to be able to
connect with his delivery for safe
hits outside of "Irish" Mouse]. broth-
er- of Lanky Bob of the Yanks. Bush
only allowed the Giants three hits
and all of these were made by
“Irish.”

Jumping Joe Dugan who has been
pretty much of a. star all through
the present series came through
with four hits. In the second inn-
in: Joe put the old ball game on ice,
when he knocked out a. homer with
Bush and Witt on base. The ball
started in the direction of Casey
Stooge]. and Casey had to use those
famous "dogs" of his for unoilitrr
purpose and started on a run for the
bill. He made good time. but lie
was not. fast. enough and despite his
[pod throw to the pinh- Jumping
J90 scored.

Old Bill Pipp the famous father
08 Wolly Pipp was in the grand-
stsnd today. and he chewed up Suv-
Gral cigars during the course of the
afternoon. \Vhen Dugan knocked
out his homer he swiillou'ed tlic

the mound he was replaced by Jack
Scott who started the some yester-
day and was batted out of the box.
Scott was soon sent to the dugout
with a. shower of hits and the mir-
den was taken up by Virgil Barnes.
brother of Jess. Virgil did well dur-
ing the time that he was on the
mound. He was taken out in the
eighth inninsz to allow Jimmy
O‘Connell to strike out for him.

The Giants seemed to lose their
nerve after the first inning barrage
And during the remainder of the
game. did not show the pop and
dash that they have flushed in the
other games during to series.

McGrew tomorrow will send Ar-
thur Nehf back to the mound. It
was he who shut out the Yankees
in the third game of the series.
Huggins has Hoyt. Jones and Pen-
nock to send against the Clan of Mc-
Grlw. It is thought that his selec—
tion will be Pennock. The Giants
will have to take a. brace tomorrow
snd win or they will fade out of the
picture as far as this championship
is concerned.

The detailed report of the same

follows:
There was a. long conference be-
tween the Umpires. Bancroft and
' Huggins before the start of play.

Huggins and the Umpires did not
seem to be in accord with some-
thing of the play. O‘Day went over
to the Gisnts' beach to consult with
McGrew, evidently to get the Na-
tionsl League's version of the argu-
ment. They tnlkml i. over again. and
this 0.1m Eva}?! and O'Day seemed
to be in disagreement. with Huggins
in the centre of the discussion. Af-
ter five minutes’ delay, the Yanks
trotted on the field.

Buenos Aires or not. '

His uncertainty of mind is indicat-
ed in the fact that he has booked
for three different sailings at three
different times in the week. If he
gets his courage up enough to sail
on Tuesday he will take that ship.
it not he will sail on,Thursday. if
timidity still rules. he will sail Sat:
urday. Then maybe he won't soil
at all.

Luis is exactly in the position of a
guy who has three alternate dates
with the dentist. He may meet the
first date and the agony over. or he
may dub along and wait until the
last sun.

In his pocket he bears an official
letter from theUnited States natur-
alization authorities. setting forth
their belief that Luis was the victim
of a vast mistake when he applied
for citizenship papers in these Unit-
ed States. You can picture him
walking down the gangplank at
Buenos Aires with this letter held
out in front_ of him. not knowing
whether the licfiquets hurled at him
contain iron flowers or sweet smell-
ing p’osies. .

Luis‘s menial mechanism' works
fast in the ring but elsewhere it is
liable to mesh gears. This was the
case in this naturalization scheme of
his. He got carried away with love
and enthusiasm for the American
people over the manner in which
they accepted his efforts against
Jack Dempsey on the night of Sep-
tcniber 14.

He saw more money to be made
here than the Argentine promised
and since money is his ruling motive
he accepted the advice of some mis—
guided caku-ester friends—you know
Luis is a great cabaret dancer—that
he would be more of a card if he
had the ballyhoo of patriotism be—
hind hini. . *

It didn't occur to him that his na-
tive land would go up in the air.
Juit why it didn't. no one can tell.
Maybe Luis is a. man of one idea.
That is the way he strikes thosgwho
meet him. Anyway. the'scheme made
a. big hit with him and he hurried to
the Naturalization Bureau with what
result is now widely known.

His change of mind was due to
tabascoesque cables and missives he
received forthwith from South Ani-
crlca. where by the way. his. father
and other“ members of ,the family
hold government positions.

Luis has convinced Americans
that he didn‘t mennwhat he did and
the fact has not affected stock value

here. So;fa.r., so good. ‘But how
about the Argentine? “‘hile Luis
is assuring- himself as to this. he is
delaying his departure from the
land which he cOurted and then
turned down.

Harry Greb and Lou Bogash will

Orange. in four roeids tn. sami

Bogash has been invited to come
to Xewark next week and in make
his headquarters at the home of Joe
Keeley. former Bridgeport man who
now is in business there.

The decision gained by Tommy
Loughran 0\ er Harry Greb last week
at Boston Where Greb weighed 168
pounds has added keen interest to
the coming match. Grcb plainly tired
in the closing rounds of the fight.
He has always had more ivnuble
with the lighter men than with tLe
heavier and more lumbering type of
boxers. Bogash has told the promo-
ters he believes that one good drive
to the jaw will get Greb. It has been
proven too. that Greb dislikes body
punishment. especially when making
weight. Newark fans believe Gogash
has an extremely good chance of
winning on points from Greb who
has not taken the best. care of him-
self from all reports.

Bogaslbis without doubt the lead»
ing contender for the middleweight
title. Pittsburgh promoters tried
for years to match Bogash and Greb
but only the friendship of Babe Cul-
nan. Neuark promoter. and Harry
Greb enabled the Xewark club to get
the two men together. Tex Rickard
believed the match would draw
$75,000 in New York. but Gret has
still a grudge in for the New York
club at which he was robbed of his
American light heavyweight hon-
ors by Gene Tunney.

The ticket demand is so hen—y that
the club has been working overtime
disposing of the choice ducats. The

bi

 

prices range from $2. to $5. The 52
seats are unreserved.
