Yanks Have
Win Over Giants
By WAITE HOYT.
New York, Oct. 14.—The Yanks ad
vanced one step nearer their goal by
easily defeating the Giants, 8 to 1.
The entire Yankee club stepped out
and “did their stuff” piling up 14 hits
and eight runs. Not satisfied with
this accomplishment. Bullet Joe Bush
permitted hut three hits, and all of
them to Irish Meusel, Joe Dugan
played in his usual sensational style,
fielding flawlessly and increasing his
batting average with four hits out of
a possible five chances. He Is easily
our star of the series. McGraw re
marked to an inquisitive spectator
who asked what h* thought of today's
game, “too much Dugan.”
The leader of the Giants rushed
a quartet of pitchers into the battle.
It was too late. The dam was broken
and the damage done.
We could not be stopped, we will
not be stopped, regardless of who
they may pitch tomorrow. It will, of
course, tie Nehf, there is no other
chance, lluggins explained that either
Pen nock or I would fling In order to
clinch. My own opinion is that he
will choose l’ennook not because of
his (Huggins') lack of confidence in
me, but for the reason that the Giants
have seen little of Herb, and lots of
me in the last three years. Any se
lection will be a good one, and will
give us a reserve of Jones and Pen
nock or Jones and Hoyt.
Both Meuaels Get Three lllls.
A striking coincidence of today's
game Is that the two brothers. Irish
and Bob, each luid three hits out of
four times at hat. At the start of the
game both had the same average,
.170. At their first times at bat each
of them produced ' a triple. Real
brother stuff.
An excusable misplay by Stengel
aided us to compile four runs in (he
second. With two men on base Du
gan lilt a liner to Stengel. Cgsey
misjudged (he hall momentarily, due
no doubt, to tho shadows of the
stand. The ball got away from hint
and went for a home run. It was a
lucky break for us.>
The series has been a huge sue
coss, credited to the fighting blood
of the Yankees who could not see
themselves being licked a third time
by tho same club. The hustle and
fight they employed these last two
days has been a surprise to our
staunchest defenders, who had us
pictured an easy going and docile or
ganization Tho spirit in the club
house is unbounded and confidence
exudes from every pore. Poor Artie
Nehf does not know what he must
face tomorrow. It was a particu
larly sweet victory for Joe Bush to
gain. He had been beaten three
straight times by the National leag
uers and was due for a break.
Thut is not all. Today was Joe’s
ninth wedding anniversary and it was
fittingly celebrated. As Ward ttyrew
to Pipp for the last out, Joe waved
his hand to Sylvia, his wife, who
was sitting in a field box behind third
base. They will remember Sunday,
the 14th, as long as they live. To
morrow we hope to win the world
c hampionship and vindicate ourselves
in the eyes of the New York fans.
The club consists of most of the boys
who suffered two humiliating defeats
in' 1921 aud 1922. To win this year
would take out ail the sting. We
refuse to he jubilant quite this early,
but I hope tomorrow night will be
the happiest one of our careers.

World Championship
Is Won by Yankees
(Continued From Pane One.)
series seemed to be making the most
noise. Ruth seemed to be too anxious.
He swung wildly at the final pitch
which was wide of the plate.
Master Mind Fails.
While Ruth was at bat. McGraw
seemed to have resumed his master
minding on the bench. Lank Hank
Gowdy rushed out to Ryan with
some order, and it was Ryan's next
pitch after that order on which Ruth
fanned. McGraw didn’t have time to
do any master thinking on Long Bob
Meusel, however. Boh hit too quickly.
A bad throw from the outfield by
Cunningham permitted an extra run
to score on Meusel's hit and advanced
Long Bob to third, but the Yankees
did not need the run. The champion
ship was on its way to the Bronx
with Meusel's punch.
Long Bob Meusel is a nerveless
young man, so nerveless that he
seems indolent. He has about him a
calm of manner that Is somewhat ex
asperating to Yankee fans at times.
Your baseball fan loves the nervous,
peppery type of ball player. Long
Bob never seems excited, never hur
ries unduly.
Perhaps his disposition runs in the
Meusel family. Hob's brother, Emil,
who plays left field for the Giants,
is the unhurried type.
Long Boh seemed most phlegmatic
as he stood at the.g>late in Die eighth
inning today waiting for Ryan to
pitch. He seemed no part of the wild
excitement that raged about him.
Gets Solid Smash.
He did not last his bat at the ball
with any semblance of fury, as Ruth
had lashed just before him. He mere
ly met It with his bat, giving it a
good solid crack, without that violent
unleashing of all his muscles ttiat
characterizes Ruth.
When tie saw Cunningham's throw
going wild, Meusel ran to third with a
stately stride, then stood on the bag
and watched his teammates over in
front of the Yankee bench jumping
up and down, and shrilling their joy,
as if he were somewhat amused.
A calm man, Long Bob Meusel, but
a great hand'in a pinch.
Nehf’s collapse was an amazing
thing. With one out in the eighth,
Srhang got the Yanks' first hit since
the second inning off the left-hander.
Kcott got another hit. Then Nehf
walked two men, forcing in a run.
McGraw then took him out. Ryan,
who relieved Nehf, forced in another
run with a base on balls. Then came
the striking out of Ruth and Meusel's
hit.
Pinch Hitter Is Walked.
Little Miller Huggins did a bit of
master minding himself In that stir
ring eighth. He put Bullet Joe Bush
in to bat for Whttey Witt, a sur
prising maneuver, which .turned out
well for the Yanks. Bush was one of
those passed by Nehf.
The victory of the Yankees delight
ed those who love tradition, because
it bore out a great old tradition that
the team which wins the first game
of a world series rarely wins the
series. Only three teams out of 19.
one. of them the Giants, have done
this.
A lot of marvelous fielding and
some good hitting by Frankie Frisch,
"the Fordham flash," was submerged
by the ultimata result. It was per
haps the greatest individual exhibi
tion of the entire series.
The Giants won the first game, the
Yanks the second, the Giants the
third, the Yankees the fourth and
fifth and sixth. The two games the
Giants won were won by Casey Sten
gel.
The series broke all previous rec
ords for attendance and receipts, de
spite the fact that threatening weath
er kept many seats at the Polo
grounds empty this afternoon.
Babe Ruth hit a home run Into
the right field stand early in the
game. The hig slugger has acquitted
himself well in the series. He may
not he the hig hero, hut ho is one
of the many heroes. He is by no
means the "goat." In fact, this seems
to be th* first series on record In
which there Is no real outstanding
"goat."

Jarvis Is Peeved
Over Remarks
Says That Joel Is Jealous
After Failing to
Buy Papyrus.
New York, Oct. 14.—The following
statement was made public tonight by
the Jocky club:
"J. B. Joel, who had offered J200,
000 for Papyrus before the St. Eeger,
stakes, made np friends for himself
by the interview he gave out on the
International race prior to sailing yes
terday for England, in which he made
the statement that he was going home
because Papyrus would be unfit to
race against Zev in that event."
On being shown Joel’s statement,
Basil Jarvis, who trains Papyrus,
said:
"My horse Is all right and will be
ready to race. Joel phoned me some,
time ago that he whs In this country
on business and would not he able to
Stay for the race. I shall see Mr.
Joe] when I go home.
“Since my arrival here I have tried
to give everybody a chance to see
Papyrus and many persons have come
both morning and afternoon daily.
As the day of the race approaches,
however, I must ask the public, who
have known such friendly interest, to
come to the course In the morning
when the horse is on the track. Be
ginning today I shall have to decline
to show the horse at 4:30 o'clock, as
heretofore. This is being done In the
interest of Papyrus, as well as of Mr.
Irish, the owner, and myself, as we
want to be ready on Saturday and
there is a lot to do between now and
then. I am sure the Amrelcan pub
lic will understand and absolve me of
any dishonesty.”
Informed of Joel's statement, Major
August printout, chairman of the
Jockey club, declared that Papyrus
was In excellent condition and inti
mated that the British turfman might
have been Influenced by his disap
pointment over the refusal of his of
fer to purchase the animal.
“Papyrus jarred his ankle last Tues
day. but demonstrated In workouts
Thursday and again this morning
that he had practically recovered
from all effects of this slight Injury,
caused by the hardness of the Bel
mont park track," said Major Bel
mont .
•'My information is that Papyrus is
in satisfactory shape and will race
Zev next Saturday.”
Basil Jarvis, trainer of Papyrus,
while acknowledging the famous racer
still displayed an aversion for the
hard tracks of America, asserted
Joel's ststement that the rare prob
ably would be postponed or cancelled
was ''alt poppycock.”
"As long as the horse keeps fit,
he'll run,” Mr. Jarvis asserted. "The
public knows the whole thing. He's
had workouts that showed hla condl
tion and displayed real speed, hut
everybody knows he doesn't like this
hard track. How far that will affect
him, I don't know. He had a nice
gallop this morning—a mile and a
half. I didn't time him but I was
told his form was good.”
Unofficially Papyrus was clocked
at 2:33 3-5 for a mile and a half,
which ho did under wraps.
Zev also worked out in the fog. Bam
Hildreth and other trainers were re
ported to have clocked the American
animal in a half mile spin at 48 sec
onds.

MAKING MOVING PICTURES
WILL NOT HELP LUIS ANGEL
Wild Bull’s Time Limited and if He Expects to Meet Demp
sey in Return Bout Next Season He Can’t Afford to
Waste Many Hours, Say Experts—Has Natural Gifts
That Give Him Good Chance to Be Champion.
UIS ANGEL FIRPO’S future depends largely
upon how keenly Firpo realizes the fact
that he knows nothing about modern train
ing and that in the way of development he
has a long, hard siege ahead before he is
ready to meet a champion.
If Firpo is willing to go after better con
ditioning and keener knowledge of his game
over the one useful route—hard work under
competent instruction — he will have a
chance.
v ^ f'irpo Is to spend the next few months In
' wKtfJ making moving pictures and taking bows this chance
JPIS' XIJlEJaft will he about as broad as the point of a needle.
Flrpo at 28, hasn't an endless caravan of years lti
which to get ready. His tlma is limited, and If ho is to meet Dempsey next
summer he can't affoird to waste many hours.
It was impossible at Atlantic City to make him see that he was train
log Incorrectly and getting nowhere, but perhaps by now he has learned part
of the lessen.
Assets and inabilities.
The Argentine wanderer hag certain
natural gift*. He la big, strong and
courageous.
He can hit heavily with hi* right
hand. He is an instinctive fighter,
with more than normal speed for one
of his bulk.
These are his assets.
His liabilities are just as numerous.
He needs the use of a left hand, both
upon attack and defense.
He knows nothing of protection at
short range. He is fairly easy to
bring down, a fault partly due to his
lack of balance. He can work for and
get greater speed.
And so far be has been unwilling to
submit himself to the discipline and
drudgery of correct training.
• Faring Hard Work.
Firpo hasn't the heritage of hard,
correct training, that has put the
United States out In front of the
world parade. 1
He doesn't take kindly to the end
less drudgery needed to renrh form
and condition.
He as a prd grind ahead, and It
must be under wise Instruction if he
is to have his chance of scrambling
up the ollffslde.
His natural, undeveloped qualities,
a* fine as they are, are not enough.
No ordinary mortal Is going to stop
Jack Dempsey. Dempsey has speed,
power, two handed effectiveness, stam
ima. durability, rintf courage and ring
craft to an advanced degree.
If he has any weakness tt is this—
When he concentrates upon atta< k,
where he Is at his best, he is rather
easy to hit. When he goes In to get
his man he also leaves a number of
openings which a fast, hard hitter
might reach with deadly efTect.
Hut only a whale of a punch at the
vital spot will ever send Dempsey
down—and out.
Other Challenger*.
Professor Flrpo, of course, has no
monopoly on the challenger's role.
There Is still Tommy Gibbons, who
still can whisper the news that he
stood up before Dempsey for fifteen
rounds and left the ring In nbout ns
good condition ns when he started.
There Is ttie case of Harry Wills yet
to be settled.
There is Jark Renault, who has
been hitting all comers on the chin
and who has earned ills chance for
still rougher competition.
Renault has earned his right to
keep going by beating better men
than Flrpo stopped on the way up.
In the meanwhile some entertain
ing must of course be provided for
George* Cs.rpentier.

The two leading teams in the Oma

('alleys tackle the Omaha Kickers,
sixth in the standings,, while the
Sports and Sicilians battle. The Si

The Townsends, fourth in the stand
ings, have a chance to go into third
place when they play the All-Amerl

five games and the Gunners should
find little trouble in booting out a vic
tory next Sunday.
The Horak Furnitures, third place
team, play the Walter G. Clarks
Sunday. Should they win and the
Sports lose, the Furnitures will go
into second place.
The games in the District league
this season are creating much more

T,argo crowds have witnessed all

the game of soccer will more than
come into Its own in Omaha.
Carroll Pros Are
Victors in Game
Carroll. la., Oct. 14—The fast Car
roll professional football team de
feated the Atlantic team here this
afternoon. 25 to 0. The Atlantic
team is the same as it has been for
the last five years. Both teams are
composed of former college and high
school, football stars.
The game yesterday was featured
by the plays of the Carroll team. The
first touchdown was made by Lowry
after a successful forward pass, Aeh
baugh to Lowry, and a run of more
than 30 yards. The second touch
down Waldron made after he slipped
around the Atlantic's left end and ran
30 yards.
Tyron recovered a blocked punt and
raced across the goal line for the third
tally. The goal kicked on this score
was the only one made during the
entire game. The fourth touchdown
came when Heath Intercepted a for
ward pass and carried It down the
field.
Atlantic, usually a strong team,
failed to get started. Their playing
was not up to standard and none of
the men seemed to have their heart
In the game.
The Carroll team is to play the
Olympics at League park next Sun
day. The game promises to be good
with the Carroll aggregation fresh
from a victory and the Olympics one
of the strongest teams they have yet
had.

TECH AND LINCOLN TO PLAY
ANNUAL CONTEST SATURDAY
Creighton University Journeys to Brookings to Meet South
Dakota State, While Omaha University Meets Tarkio on
Latter's Field—University of Nebraska Plays Second
Valley Eleven at Lincoln Saturday.
By "WAG."
OOKS like a busy week for the Nebraska high school
and university football squads.
Five grid games are on tap for Omaha
this week-end, while numerous high school
contests will be reeled off on Husker soil
before next Sunday rolls ’round. The state
intercollegiate conference will play its
games Friday and Saturday.
The Uni verity of Nebraska got off to a nymg
' start in the Missouri Valley race Saturday when the
Muskers trimmed Benny Owen's Alahoma university.
24 to 0. The Huskers meet the Kansas university team
i this week end and should win by a as large a score
“ as they beat the Sooners last week.
Coach Chet Wynne will resume practice at creignton iieia tms aiier
noon in preparation for the Creighton South Dakota State game at Brook
ings next Saturday.
The Blue and White gridsters
emerged from the mud in good condi
tion last Saturday, although they
were on the short end of a 6 to 0
score with the Kansas Aggies, run
nerup in the Valley last season.
Creighton outplayed the Aggies in
the first and last quarters. The sec
ond and third 'periods were about
even. A short punt from Kitzgtbbons'
toe in the second quarter gave the
Aggies the ball on Creighton's 20
yard line. The Farmers had a hard
time making gains against the Blue,
hut finally advanced to Creighton's
six yard line. Two passes failed and
on the fourth down Stark and
Schwartz completed the pass that
beat Creighton.
The real strength of the Creighton
team Is not known. The Blue has
played three games thus far. each con
test being played on a very muddy
field. Good football Is Impossible on
a ipuddy field.
Little Is known of South Dakota
State. Give Creighton a dry field and
the Blue will beat the Brookings
eleven. South Dakota State isn't con
sidered as strong a team this season
as either the Kansas university or
Kansas Aggies.
Central High met it* old rival, Bioux
City High last Saturday at Sioux
City and lost, 9 to 3. Friday the Pur
ple meet* Beatrice In the first gam*
of a doubleheader scheduled for

won their games last week, the former
defeating Plattsmouth by a big score
and the Packers winning from Ne
braska City.
Coach Drummond's Technical High
e'.evn and Lincoln play on Creighton
field Saturday. This game should be
worth going miles to see. Lincoln
t>eat South early in the season and
the state champs are en route to an- ^
other title. This game always turns
out to be a hard-fought and interest
ing affair. Because of their expe
rienced eleven, the Linka will enter
the game against Tech, the favorites.
The Omaha university crippled-up
squad journeys to Tarkio, Mo., Satur
day to play the Tarkio college team.
Coach Adams' team has played one
