Pegler Has Fun Explaining ‘McGraw Signals’ and Caseys Swat

By WESTBROOK PEGLER. United News Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—From his dank corner in the shadows of the visitors’ trench, John McGraw gave a signal Friday afternoon which won the third game of the world series for the Giants, 1 to 0, and placed them one up on the Yankees. Casey Stengel was hitting at the time. It is well-known, of course, that ; John McGraw gives a signal for every play made by his team at bat or in the field. To play ball for McGraw a player must familiarize himself with blinker, heliograph, wig wag and the international flag code, these systems of communication being mingled In the McGraw system.

OLD MAN OF GIANTS IS TWICE A HERO IN PINCH Veteran Casey Cracks Ball Into Bleachers for Only Run of Contest Friday—Jones and Nehf in Duel. By WILLIAM 3LAVENS M’NUTT, Written for the United News. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—The Giants beat the Yanks, 1 to 0, in the third game of the world series and everything is normal again. The spots are off the sun, the birds are twittering in the trees and people are talking about prohibition, as usual. Everything is all right and the thanks of the town are due to Casey Stengel.

Stengel is too old to play baseball any more so he has formed the habit of beating the Yanks in order to have something to do for amusement in his dotage. "Careless” First Time It will be remembered that Stengel beat the Yanks with a home run in the ninth when two were gone and there were two strikes on him in the first game of the series. In that game he was careless and neglected to hit the ball out of the park in consequence of which he was obliged to run all the way around the bases to get home before the ball. This so weakened his aging frame that he was given a day off when the second game was played and the Giants lost. McGraw, the serious thinker, was not to be caught out on the ball field without his Stengel again and when Friday’B affair started Casey was wabbling around out in center on his shaky pins hoping that nothing would happen to compel him to run again. Casey’s Craving He stood around first on one foot and then on the other until the seventh Inning. Then his craving to beat the Yanks got the better of him. The score at the time was one big zero to a large round goose egg. Both

He spent mop* cf his profits, ! in fact, having the injury treated in I the old shoulders’ home. It was diagnosed as a species of writers’ ; cramp in the shoulder blades. Cerebration is not the easiest task for most ball players and McGraw reI lied on the association of ideas to make his signal system as easy as > possible for ills men. When He Steps in Bucket Suppose, for instance, that McGraw | suddenly sticks a foot in the water j bucket. Among baseball players it is considered a social error to stick one’s | foot in the water bucket. When they see McGraw do it, the intimation is instantly conveyed to them that he wants an error. Just the other day he rammed both, feet in the water bucket and this double fault was answered by Pep Young with two errors in the outfield. This may convey an idea of the easy simplicity, the deep significance and the impeccable mystery of tho McGraw signal system. An opposing player, seeing McGraw stick his foot in the water bucket, would merely say to himself: “Uh-oh! McGraw has stuck his whippet in the water bucket!

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jones and Nehf were pitching ball and the rival infields were two impenetrable stone walls of defense. Then some of the boys lifted Casey from the bench and him afoot. He was an old man suffering from senile decay and he had flickered the l|Ost flare of his baseball life when he hit that homer in the ninth Inning of the first game. That was all understood. The Big Smack Up to that terrible seventh Casey was playing nice and not hurting any one nor getting in the road of the big boys. Then suddenly temptation overtook him. A ferocious expression twisted his features. He snarled like a wildcat and howled like a wolf. Then he reached out with his nice new bat and beat the Yanks again. He did it by banking the fourth ball pitched to him. right on Its new nose, and knocking it clear over Babe Ruth’s head into the crowd in the right field bjeachers. Os course it was only one run that Stengel accounted for, but that was enough to win the affair and the world series today stood as follows: Babe Ruth—one garnet Casey Stengel—two games Other members of both Yanks and Giants—o.

I’m glad it wasn’t our water bucket!” Well, Casey Stengel was at bat in the seventh inning and Sam Jones was pitching to him. Stengel looked to the bench for his instructions and saw McGraw strike one of the utility ! players on the nose with a bat. “The old man says this Is going to be a strike," Casey said to himself, and, accordingly, took a swing. Takes Second Look Twice again he looked to the bench and each time heard McGraw bawling at the man he had struck with the bat. "The old man says this is going to be a ball.” said Casey to himself each time and let two wide ones drift by. Again Casey turned his inquiring gaze at the wizard strategist in the dark hole. He caught a signal fraught with tremendous meaning. McGraw couched it In deepest code to guard its import from the enemy. He was taJking to the bat-boy. "Hey, Mendel," he was saying, "I THIRD GAME OF CLASSAA PLAY Orioles and Blues Carded for Another Fracas, By United Free* KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 18.—The Kansas City Blues.

RUMORS THICK AND FAST ON ZEV-PAPYRUS MATCH Both Horses Reported Out of Condition English Trainer Does Not Deny Slight Lameness of His Nag, Bu United financial NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—With the International turf race between Zev and Papyrus due a week from today, the rumor brigade is hard at it, “Zev never will enter the International.

SOX ANNEX ONE IN CITY SERIES Fourth Fray of Chicago Tussle on This Afternoon, By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 13 —With the Chicago Cubs’ lead in the city series reduced to one gams, the Sox were anxious to line up today to attempt to even the score. The count was made two to one In favor of the National League team Friday when ’’Red" Faber, veteran Sox hurler, held the Cube to six hits, and the Sox won, 4 to 2. The Cubs used three pitchers and Friberg trotted the circuit after a hot one to the bleachers, but they lost. Rain, which fell throughout the night and early today made this afternoon’s game uncertain. Friday’s game was witnessed by more than 25.000. The Friday score: Sox 100 020 100—4 8 1 Cubs 001 100 000—2 8 2 Batteries—Fsber and Creme: Keen. Fussell. Osborne and O'Farrell.

players call a right-footer. Consequently, Stengel knew McGraw had called on him for a home run Into the right field bleachers. Jones served a slow ball as big as a Jug Stengel lashed at It and then he went for the grand tour of the four comers, winning the game, 1 to 0, and proving again the uncanny wizardry of the McGraw system of running a ball club by signals from the dugout.,

To which Sam Hildreth, trainer of the Rancoc&a stable replies heatedly: “The colt is all right; he was Just breezed Friday, but wait until he works out In earnest. Then you may Judge for yourself as to his condition." Papyrus Limps "Papyrus can not stand the pounding which will be his If he trains on the hard surface In the Belmont track between now and next Saturday. Before his time trial Thursday he favored his off-fore foot. After It he limped perceptibly," shouts another group of crepe hangers. To that charge. Trainer Basil Jarvis, who has cared for the English ooit all year, makes no sweeping denial. Instead ha said, “I don’t know Just how serious it will be, but he favors that ankle somewhat. Do I think It will interfere with the race? That Is something no one can tell. I shall Continue to work him and hope for tho best.” Belmont Track Hard From these statements of the two trainers It would appear there Is something to the rumor that Papyrus Is In a ticklish condition. After racing on the soft turf of English courses, Papyrus finds the Belmont track too hard. It has been the cause of many a good horse going bad this year. The betting odds which hovered around three to one on Zev before Papyrus made his Thursday’s showing, shot down abruptly after that performance until they reached 8 to 5 on Zev. but the soreness of Papyrus’ offfront ankle Friday caused them to go back up to 2 to 1, which represent the accepted betting odds on the big race.

TECH AND MANUAL VICTORS ON GRID; CATHEDRAL LOSES Elwood and Peru Defeated by Locals —Shortridge at Lafayette Today. Two out of three was not bad for local high school football teams in Friday's games. Technical and Manual showed up well In their vlctorlee over Elwood and Peru, respectively. Wilkinson was much too strong for Cathedral and scored in each quarter for a26 to 0 victory. Shortridge was to get into action today against Jefferson High of Lafayette at that place. On Friday at Irwin Field Manual not only defeated Peru, 32 to 0, but threw a few scares Into the city rivals by Its fine showing. The Red and White with its marathon schedule already has won four games and tied one. Manual Stars Fast The visitors could do nothing against the Manual line while the southsiders piled up a 26 to 0 lead in the first half. In the final two periods Peru braced somewhat. B. Courim, the little leader of the winners, as usual was a flash. Technical defeated Elwood there, 20 to 0. From the start the local eleven showed its stuff and marched down the field In the first quarter for the Initial touchdown .Rush of Tech was a real star on offense and defense. The big full back Is playing the gams of his life this year. Tech Stops Elwood Tech scored two other touchdowns, one In the second quarter and one in the fourth. Elwood made Its strongest bid for a score In the third quarter, but was stopped on the Tech 10-yard line. Cathedral ran Into a tartar at Wilkinson, Ind., and could not stop the line plunges of the opposing backfleld or the beautiful kicking of Johns, who booted over four from the field.
