Heroes of Last World Series May Warm Bench This Year By SID MERCER. EW YORK. Oct. 8. —World ■ e r 1 e b fame Is Indeed fleeting. Some of the heroes of yes ter-year maintain privileges; others do not figure prominently In the advance no tices in the third encounter be tween the Giants and the Yankees. One year ago Joe Bush and Bob Shawkey, rated first and third. 'respectively, among American league pitchers in games won and lost, car ried the burden of halting the open ing attack* of the Giants. They were the Yankee aces in a hard fight for the American league pennant. Bush pitched the first and fifth games of the world series, los ing the opener, 3 to 2, and the final, 5 to 3. Shawkey appeared in only one game—the second—which ended (1n a tie.__. I Neither of these boxmen figure to ■tart the aeries for the Yankees this week. Bush possibly may draw the assignment if the day is cloudy, but Shawkey seems to be cast for the role of a reservist. Neither Shawkey nor Bush has dis played his 1922 steadiness this sea son and for that reason the burden of pitching the Yankees to vlqtory seem to rest upon Jones, Hoyt and Pennock. Manager Huggins now ranks Sam Jones as his most dependable right hander. He finished the regular sea son in form that almost assures him the responsibility of facing the Giants next Wednesday at the Yankee sta dium. The tragic figure is Carl Mays, a great pitcher and a league leader in 1921. This year he has been a bench warmer. He does not enter into worl< series calculations at all—cer tainly not as a game starter. New Torkers are strangely apathe tic toward the series this year. "It’s the same old performance; the same hitters, and the same pitrhers,” they complain. New York Teams Swap Diamonds Xew York, Oct. 8— Giants and Yankees traded playing fields today , for the first Intensive workouts in preparation for the combat for world baseball honors that starts Wednesday In the game’s greatest plant, the • Yankee stadium. The use by the teams of rival parks | ^as agreed upon In order that the players could accustom themselves to , the autumn lights and shadows in both places. In the Polo grounds, especially, the shadows cast by the rocky craks of Coogan’s bluff are wont to deceive the baseball eye, while in the Yankee park the tower ing stands and the broad sweep of , the field provide a contrast that Manager McGraw is eager for his men to know. Walter Pipp. the Yankee first base man, whose injured ankle has been causing Miller Huggins a lot of anxiety, was permitted today to Join his teammates at practice. Huggins was to watch him work and decide whether the ankle was sufficiently mended to warrant starting him at • the Initial sack in the series. Should Pipp be unable to play, Huggins will he compelled to make several changes In the lineup. In such an emergency Ruth probably would be sent to first and one of the utility outer gardeners detailed to his post. McGraw hasn’t any Injured men to worry ftbout. He is anxious, how ever, that his batting crew get to work with their bludgeons and will drill his pitchers In the art of curve, twist, speed and control. Close Finishes Mark Grand Circuit Races - Lexington. Ky.. Oct. 8 -Close fin ishes. split heat contests and the suc cess of the Murphy stable were the features of today's grand cireuit card.

Leading Tennis Stars May Play at Berkeley By VINCF.NT RICHARDS. New York, Oct. 8.—Three of the top flight tennis players Isnd perhaps the national, champion himself will leave the east this coming week to participate in the annual California state championship that is to he held on the asphalt courls of the Berkeley Tennis club at Berkeley. Cal . next week. Manuel Alonzo. Wallace H. Johnson, William T. Tilden and the writer are the four men who might be able to adjust business matters so as to make the long journey. Alonzo, sensational Spaniard, and one of the most graceful players In the game today, needs no introduc tion to the tennis fans throughout America. He has played out on the Pacific coast before and there is no denying the fact that western tennis fans are always keen to see him play. The Spanish Davis cup player Is one of the greatest drawing eards in ten nis today. His spectacular style of play always makes a bit hit with the galleries. He will without doubt be the logical favorite during the com ing event Johnson, crafty Philadelphia chop stroke artist, has been playing tchnis for the last 15 years. Twice r final ist In the national championship, he haa established for himself an en vlble reputation In the tennis world. In 1912, when Martce K. Mclxmghlln, the great California comet, first came east, he literally blew everyone off the court. But when lie faced the famous Wally In the final round of that event he Mt off a < 'noire tid bit for himself. Bed Mac, then Rt the very top of his game, was forced to travel five furious sets before he was acclaimed the holder of the national championship. Again In 1921 Johnson succeeded In reaching the final round in the national event. This time he faced the great Tilden for the highest hon ors in the game. The match started during threatening weather and the heavy court gave the chop stroke artist a derided advantage over the tall Quaker. There were many in the atanda that day who really be lieved that Johnson would have won the national tournament had the match continued. However, after Tilden had won the first aet at *-6. the match was colled because of the had weather. It w is decided to hold ttie title event on the following Monday. It Is tennis his tory that Big Bill came out on the court that Monday and went right through the famed sllcer In three straight sets. Had Johnson been favored with a little rainy weather It la more than likely that his cuts would have bothered ths national champion. It la the writer's personal belief that Johnson will experience soma trouble In playing on the as phalt courts out on the coast. His little shots that Just bound over the net will come up high on these courts. That in itself will render him at a decided disadvantage. Indians Split Series Share. Cleveland, O., Oct.
