FANS RAVE AND BASEBALL CZAR MAKESBECISION Ruling fs Unprecedented in Annals of Baseball —$120,554 to Be Distributed. SECOND CAME FIGURES Paid attendance—37,o2o. Receipts—sl2o,ss4; anew record. By United If etc s NEW YORK. Oct. 6. —The entire proceeds of Thursday’s world series frame, amounting to $120,554, will be turned over to charity, Commissioner Landis declared in a statement several hours after the game. This decision was reached at a meeting with representatives of the Giants and Yankee clubs called because of a demonstration by fans against the action of Umpire Hildebrand in ending the game in the tenth inning with the score 3 to 3. “Wounded war veterans and charities of New York City" will be given the money, it was stated. The suggestion that the receipts be devoted to this purpose met with the sympathy of Col. Jake Ruppert, Yankee delegate at the meeting and was accepted without protest by Charles A. btoneham for the Giants. Score Tied, 3 to 3 Giants AB. R. H. O. A. E.

HOT SHOTS From Big Ten Grid Camps Indiana Practice was behind closed gates today as the plays to be used against He Pauw Saturday were tried out. Three veterans were still on the hospital list. Purdue Light scrimmage was on the program today. End candidates were drilled in receiving forward passes. lowa Hot weather has slowed up practice considerably and the team is slow in getting in shape. Signal drill and punting work featured the day's work out. Chicago The heavy Georgia team with Its fast backs arrived today for tomorrow’s clash on Stagg field. The Maroon line-up for the game was still some what of a mystery. Hot weather has held up practice and the outlook for tomorrow was continued heat which presaged a slow game. Northwestern The Purple was all set today for its initial clash tomorrow -with Beloit. Reports fromo the Wisconsin camp indicate the team that will meet Northwestern tomorrow will be badly crippled by injuries. Quarter R. MeAulift'e and End Wheeler are both out of the game. Ohio State The greatest blow to Ohio’s championship hopes was contained in the announcement that Noel Workman, first string quarter, was declared ineligible. Athletic authorities stated that Workman played one year of football at West Virginia in 1917 and then two at Ohio State, which bars him from further conference football. He is still eligible for baseball and basketball. Michigan The line is still the great problem of the Ann Arbor coaches. With a fast pair of ends and a back field that will equal any in the Big Ten, coaches were giving most os their attention to the five men who must stand the brunt of the defense. Illinois Stiff signal drill and workouts for the punters featured today’s practice. The Suckers do not open the season until Oct. 14. Minnesota The Gophers were all set today for the battle with North Dakota tomorrow. Last minute changes in the lineup were expected. Wisconsin Carleton arrives to open the football season with the Badgers here tomorrow. New plays in which the forward pass figures largely will be given a thorough tryout. Country Club Champ Mrs. Carl Gibbs won the Country Club tourney for women Thursday by defeating Mrs. James Gavin, 5 up and 4 to play. The winner took 45 going out and 48 coming back for a medal Acojge of 93.

TWO COMMANDERS-IN-CHIEF WATCH WARFARE

Here’s the boss of the United States Army and the boss of baseball watching the first game of the world's series from a box at the Polo Grounds. Gen. John J. Pershing at left. At right is Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball commissioner, and Mrs. Landis. The judge was booed and hissed by the angry mob after the second game of the series was called on account of darkness.

Playing the Field With Eddie Ash Well, fans always have said umpires wear smoked glasses. At any rate, the crowd saw plenty of baseball in those ten innings. Ambitious second basemen wlio hope to emulate Frank Frisch will have to take lessons in diving for their fundamentals. The umpires must have heen hungry. When Judge Landis agreed to become commissioner of baseball he wasn't aware of all the angles of the game. He didn't sign up for mob scenes. A bombproof box atop of the grandstand would have been the proper place for the commissioner Thursday. The Meusel boys were there with bells on. Emil was a hero for the Giants with his 3-run hotner and Bob tied up the game in the eighth with a double. A judge is an autocrat in a courtroom, hut on the ball field he's an individual only. Where’s all that Yankee pitching superiority? Even old Jess Barnes stood toe to toe with Shawkey. Giant supporters stopped kicking over the sudden ending of the fracas after they had taken a second thought. It means one more day of rest for Artie Nehf. Frankie Frisch in a world series, but his baseball ways stay with him. He runs with his cap in his hand. Perhaps he's afraid of running out from under it. Army Four Wins The Army polo team of Columbus, Ohio, defeated the Indianapolis Polo Club Thursday at the Speedway Field, 9 to 5 in the second game of the fall tournament. The Dayton teams will not be here until next week. The Army four has won two contests. On Saturday at 3 p. m. an exhibition game will be played between the Ohio Club and a picked local outfit. Tech to Logansport A large number of Tech students will accompany the team Saturday to Ixigansport for the second game of the east side school’s schedule. Coach Kingsolver’s eleven Is in good shape with the exception of a few minor injuries.

Mclnnis started at Shibe Park, Philadelphia, under Connie Mack. On the same field, and in the same position. Is another youth who threatens to become as good as Mclnnis. Hauser Is a good fielder. He is not as good as Sisler or Blue or Judge, but he is still a better fielder than a few others in his own league, and better than the bulk of National League first sackers. The youngster is one of the leading hitters of the league and, unlike Mclnnis, he Is a free hitter who is liable to drive the ball to any field. He has nerve and intelligence. He Is 23 years old.

He showed himself to be a good sport and much bigger than the gang of j foul-mouthed tinhorn sports that booed and hissed the judge and fils wife as he left the field. THE action of the owners of the two New York clubs In donating the receipts of the called game ! Thursday to charity eliminates any ■ possible chance for a taint of crooked- : ness.

HUGGINS LAMENTS LUCK IN LOSING BREAKS OF GAMES Says Umpires Did Right When They Called Second Contest in Tenth. By MILLER J. HUGGINS. Manager New York Yankees. Copyright, 10ft, by United Press NEW YORK Oct. 6.—When you get nineteen innings of perfect defensive play and sixteen cyphers from your pitchers In two games It can be said that you are going at a real world series speed. The Yankees have done that and yet we haven't won a game simply because we have been out-lucked and have lost all the breaks. One slip In the ninth Inning prevented the Yankees from winning yesterday. If Shawkey had sacrificed after Scott’s single In the ninth we would have had the winning run on Witt’s single and there would have been no scene after the game. There was no question In my mind that the decision of the umpires calling the game favored the Giants more than the Yanks, because I believe we would have won In the eleventh inning. The Y'ankees are finding themselves and are beginning to hit again. It Is only natural that they should be under some strain and It has affected their hatting. After the first inning yesterday Bob Shawkey pitched a superb game. There is no gamer or more steady pitcher In baseball than Shawkey. It was a break that prevented him from potting a shut-out. INTERSECTIONAL GAMES Six Good Contests Are to Be Played Saturday. By United Press NEW YORK.

Although handicapped by the loss of Hendryx, who wu injured Wednesday, the Saints rallied brilliantly behind Pitcher Benton. He allowed only 3 hits. Baltimore played its mound ace, “Lefty” Groves, in the box. but timely hitting beat him. Bruns Haas made a divir.g catch for the feature. CUBS SWAMP SOX Nationals Come Biuk and Even Chicago City’ Series. By United Xetrs CHICAGO, Oct. 8. —The Cubs clawed three White Sox pitchers for fourteen hits and ten runs here Thursday, winning the second game of the Chicago city series. 10 to 3. Ernie Osborne, the Georgia hurlor, went the full route for the Cubs, allowing the Sox nine scattered hits, only two of which wore for more than one base. Mulligan, hero of the first game, made two errors In the seventh that helped the Cubs land four runs.

BADLY PITCHED BALL IS JINK FOR BOBSHAWKEY Hurled Wonderful - Game After Bad Start—Meusel’s Homer Was Shabby. By BILLY EVANS American League Umpire and NEA Sports Writer. POLO GROUNDS. New York, Oct. 6. —The story of the second game of the world series can be written around one badly pitched ball. The badly pitched ball was turned into a rather lluky Polo Grounds home run. It gave the Giants a three-run lead, as two were on at the time. It was a physical not mental error on the part of Bob Shawkey. That one mistake keeps Bob Shawkey from having his name enrolled In the hero list. Emil Meusel of the Giants is notoriously weak on a low curve on the outside. Joe Bush proved that in the ! opening game of the series. It was' figured Shawkey, with his fast-break- j ing curve, would be equally successful against the Giants' heavy hitter.: .Meusel came to the bat in the first : 'inning with Groh on second and ' Frisch on first, as the result of two | clean hits. Two of the first three ; balls pitched to Meusel were sharpbreaking curves, low and on the out- | side. He looked rather foolish on : both of them, swinging wildly and missing. With the count two balls and two strikes, Shawkey’s next pitch • undoubtedly was Intended to boa low- | breaking curve. Instead of breaking low and outside, the pitch was a | curve ball that was letter high and slightly Inside. It was the style liked j best by Meusel. He took a healthy cut 1 at the ball, stepping into it with vigor and pulling it into the left field bleachers. Bob Meusel, brother of the Giants’ slugger, hacked up against the left-field bleachers, ready to make the catch. The drive, however, had just enough carry to clear the barrier and land Into the front row of the bleachers. Bob Meusel could have easily made the catch on the ordinary playing field. Pitched Wonderful Ball After such a wonderful start Shawkey pitched a most courageous game ar.d richly deserved a tie. Had he been able to sacrifice successfully he would have been returned the winner. After the second inning Shawkey was invincible, only two safe hits being made off his delivery. He improved as the game advanced, only twentyone batters facing him the last seven Innings. His curve ball broke beautifully for him and he was stronger it tlie finish than Barnes. The other | break of the game, second In importance to Meusel's home run, also had | Shawkey playing a leading role, this time as batsman rather than pitcher. ! The Yanks, by courageous batting, had managed to tie up the three-run lead they had spotted the Giants. In j the first inning Bancroft's wild heave ion Dugan's grounder, followed by 1 I’.pp's hit, resulted in a run. In the fourth a terrific drive over the left field fence by Ward added another. Doubles by Ruth and Meusel In the jt ighth inning evened the count. Now foi the second big thrill of the day. ; With one down, Scott hit safely. ! Shawkey started to the plate and : was called back.

Circus and Tony Ross and Tommy McDuff. The first bout will start at 8:15 p. m. him to bunt. Undoubtedly he wanted to hit, because he showed that he was plainly peeved. However, the manager's judgment prevailed. Shawkey bunted to the pitcher, but there was too much power In. the effort, as Scott was forced at second. If the play had been successful the Yanks would have won in nine Innings, as Witt singled to left on the first pitch. THRILLS AT FRANKFORT Harry Weaver to Oppose Wannouth in Baseball Game Sunday.

MacGreery, at full, does not seem to have the drive and punch that is usual with full backs on Minnesota teams of the past. Eklund and Schjoll seem to he fixtures at the ends, with Cox and MacDonald at the tackle positions and Abrahamson and Larkin at guards. Captain Aas, a veteran, will be at center.
