'1'. LOUIS. Oct. 'f.—-Babe Ruth

world's series has ever seen. M

the Babe's mighty bludgeon cleared

barriers and set fire to a Yan-

Greatest of his Days.

Today was a field day for Ruth.
lth'e greatest he has ever had in
id‘s series competition and one

most spectacular of his ca~

the Cardinals continue their winninil
streak. Instend they saw Ruth lead
an onslaught that started in the first
inning and continued unabated
through a hectic fray in which five
Cardinal pitchers paraded to the
mound. They saw a game of freak
plays. filled with good and bad base-
ball but meet of all they saw Babe
at the peak of his glory. At the fin-
ish. the Cardinal rooters had be-
. come so aroused that they yelled for

Ruth to make a fourth homer when

innings. each time‘hfr the first ball

Cardinal right hander tried a fast

Never before h s the Babe con-
nected for three homers in a single
game. where a pennant or world's
series was involved. although he has
done i‘. in exhibitions. He picked a
dramatic and timely spot to do the
trick this afternoon but he made the
statisticians groggy trying Ito tally
up the records that tumbled as a
result.

Goose Goslin of Washington. last

There were other fffctors in the
Yankee victory and the Cardinal
downfall beside Ruth's hitting but
i 0 Babe so dominatcd the conflict
t t little else remained conspicuous.

Waite Hoyt. twirling for the
Yankees. was also hit hard, yield-
ing as many blows as did five Car-
dinal fi!ngers~fourtccn—but he was
at his best in the pinches and had
easy sailing after the. fifth inning
when the St. Louis pitching staff. as
represented by Arthur Reinhart and
Herman mu. collapsed.

Hoyt might have escaped wiih less
damage but for an error in the
fourth inning by lilark Kocnig. erra-
tic Yankce shortstop. who fumbled
()‘Farrcll‘s grounder with an easy
double play in sight that would
have ended the inning. Taking ad:
vanihge of this "break" the Cardi-
nals rallied to score thrcc ‘i-uns on
doubles by Thevcnow and Douthit
and a single by Southworth. wiping
out the lead which the Yankees
had gained through Ruth's first two
homers. "

Flint lihem. whose right-handed
offerings had been pounded for four
innings. yielded to a pinch hitter in
the Cardinal's big rally but his suc-
cessor. Arthur lteinhart. immediate-
ly tossed away his team‘s advnnlng’c
with as wild a brand of southpsu
slinging as any series has ever seen.

Reinhart walked four Yankees. in-
cluding Ruth in the fifth and per-
mitted a double by ,Koenig before
passing out of the picture. Two runs
had crossed the plate and no one
was out when Hornsby hurriedly
summoned Herman llcll.awho‘is-
sued‘ another pass and contributed a
balk while two more runs rushed
over. aided by anzen's sacrifice fly‘
and an infield out by Dugun.

After that Hoyt twiried brilliant-
ly. holding the Cardinals casiiy in
check. until the ninth when they
manufactured their final run on
singles by Hornsby and Lester Bell.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. ‘f.—§sven new
world's series records were put on

The Forward Puss

'Tho forward pass is no longer
merciy u threat in football. Last
season provcd it to be one of the
greatest oLscorlng Weapons under
proper handling.

lgnquostionul‘lly the two outstand-
mg passcru of last year were
“Swede" Obcriandcr of Dartmouth
and Benny Friedman of Michigan.

The oiiicuso of these two great
clevcns bad the pass as the basis of
most of their scoring plays. thn
a pass wasn't actually the play. it
figured as a deceptive move to cov-
er a running or plunging attack;

~Neither Dartmouth nor hilcbigan~
held up their passing game until the
final ffuarier. In most of their con-
icsts it was used more often than
any other one play. ~

it was said of these two teams.
that you could expect them to start
the-game with a. forward pass and
finish it the same way. with a lot of
them tossed in between.

 

importance of Toss

( The football staiistics of 192.
reveal some very interesting facts in
connection with the importance of
the pass as a scoring play.

On 15 occasions. forward passes
tossed by chriander of Dartmouth
rcs fled in touchdowns. Friedman
of iichigan scored 14 times in the
same manner. .

in a great many other cases. a
well executed pass by these tWo
stars. placed their respective elevcns
in an excellent scoring position.

Both Cornell and Chicago boasted
strong teams last season. yet Dart-
mouth through the use of forward
passes. propelled by Oberiander.
overwhelmed tIIse two major elev-
ens. .
Cornell was swamped 62-13. in
one of the biggest surprises of the
year. while Chicago was decisively
defeated 33-7.
