By Joe Williams Give That Terry Boy Real Credit m m a It’s 2 to 1 Now That Giants Win m m • Manager Bill’s Colors Are Flying High
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Possibly by now the good folks T are willing to concede that the Giants, two up on the Senators in the world series, are a pretty fair ball club. And along with it I think they should agree that William Harold Terry is a real manager. The big oil man from Memphis was moved in to replace John J. McGraw in June a year ago. Thus was like following a Barrymore skit with a Swiss bell-ringer act. I mean, considering one thing and another, plus the pertinent fact that McGraw had won ten pennants, it didn't seem to be precisely an easy spot. The Giants were in last place when they were handed to Terry. They had quit playing paseuail. Tney had just about quit on themselves. Terry revived them somewhat. When the final standings were posted they were in a tie for sixth place. There is just about as much public interest in a sixth place ball club as in a one-hoss race. a a a a a a WHEN Terry took the club he had a specific understanding with the owner. In effect, it was that the Giants were his ball club, that he could do whatever he wanted with them. So Terry started in to rebuild. He got rid of Freddie Lindstrom, Shanty Hogan, Bill Walker, Jim Mooney and nine others who had labored perhaps with purpose but without point in the vineyards of McGraw. And he brought in an equal number of replacements, including Mancuso, Ryan, Davis and O'Doul. So, when the curtain went up in the spring, the Giant* were practically a Terry team. Very lew people took the team seriously. Terry himself hoped for no better than third place. The team got away to a successful start, and pretty soon it was leading the parade. “It's just a flash,” everybody said. The customers weren’t interested. They stayed away in hordes. A 10,000 turnout on Sunday w'as epochal. But the Terry team kept on winning. There were tense situations. Once the team lost seven in a row-, only to regain its stride and come back stronger than ever. When the Braves threatened jn September, the Giants took the series. Again, in a similar test with the Cubs, they did the same thing. And it was then that the fans, the’rival players and the critics had to admit that here was a championship team. a a a a a a THE series went into the third game today. The team that wasn’t supposed to win the National League pennant, the team that w-asn’t supposed to win the world series, the team in which nobody had any faith, is in the lead with two victories and no defeats, and the gamblers will bet you all you w-ant at 2 to 1 that the team ultimately beats Washington for the title. Thus far the series has produced some noteworthy performances, Including the pitching of Hubbell and Schumacher, the batting of Ott, the pinch-hitting of O'Doul, and the fielding of Jackson, but you are begged not to overlook the masterful manner in which Terry has handled the Giants. There was a time in the opening game when it seemed advisable to derrick Hubbell. But Terry decided the screw- ball magician had enough left to last route, and he was rewarded by seeing his ace fan Bluege for the third out in the ninth with two on. This may have been luck, and again it may have been understanding—knowing your man. And in yesterday's game, Terry’s manipulations were little short of brilliant. In the smashing sixth inning he unhesitatingly benched the right-handed Davis to call on the left-handed O'Doul to bat against Alvin Crowder. The bases were full, one was out, the Giants trailed, 1 to 0. O'Doul's line-single to center scored two, put the Giants in front, and they stayed there. But wouldn’t any manager with average mentality have done the same thing? you may ask. I agree, there was nothing particularly phenomenal in the maneuver, but what impressed me was the instant decision, the force and the confidence with which it was done. You saw at that - oment a leader of men working at the business.

Lefty O’Doul Kisses His Bat—and Wins Ball Game for Giants

Whitney lives in San Antonio, Tex., and Klein will go there shortly and try to bag little and big game. Chuck finished the season batting .368, the best mark posted in the majors. He collected 223 hits and also led the National League in home runs with twenty-eight. Rumors are afloat again saying the Hoosier Hercules will be purchased by the Chicago Cubs this winter.

Roosevelt, Rookie From Albany, Makes Pitching Debut in Series
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Well, practically every body else from Washington has been knocked out of the box, so today a fellow named Franklin Roosevelt, who came up to the big league this spring from Albany, will take his turn at hurling a baseball. He may not last long—about one pitch, most experts think—but it’s an edds-on bet that he will do something in that brief appearance that no Washington pitcher has done so far—put the ball where Mel Ott can’t hit it. If Mr. Roosevelt has any control at all (and if you think he hasn't, ask your congressman) Joe Cronin, manager of the Senators, is likely to ask him to transfer himself from the presidential box to the pitching box and finish the game. That’s how bad things look for the home team. The President will say “No” —from force of habit—he’s been saying “No” to senators for seven months now. Clark Griffith, president of the Nationalis, thinks there will be 40.000 persons in the ball park at 1:30 p. m. Inasmuch as Griffith stadium holds only 34,000 customers, it becomes a delicate problem in higher mathematics to distribute 40,000 people over 34,000 seats without having a lot of stenographers perched on the boss’s knee, and don’t" bother to bring your shorthand notebook, Miss kelly.

And if I ever get in trouble with a baseball bat, me and It are dated up. For on the next pitch, when only the time it takes for your heart to give off a beat, Lefty pasted it squarely, and it was two runs across and the Giants’ ball game. Talk about pitchers!

ten-round route. Williams has met many of the topnotch middleweights in the country and holds two decisions over Sammy (Kid) Slaughter, Terre Haute slugger. Promoter Miller is endeavoring to arrange a card that will produce action in every bout as a means of restoring boxing popularity in Indianapolis.

GOPHERS LOSE BACK By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. s.—The eligibility of Harold Winkler, sophomore, has added reserve strength to Minnesota at tackle. George Rennix, sophomore half back, has a fractured leg and is lost for the season.
Cronin shepherded his boys home from big, wicked New York, and was flabbergasted to find that 600 persons had assembled at Union station to scream, “Atta boy, Joe! Atta boy, Goose!” Apparently he had expected the belligerent fans to inform him that the arms of all his pitchers were constructed of stained cathedral glass and that his batters couldn’t hit the water If they fell out of a boat. So surprised was Joe that he made a speech, which contained that startling revelation that somebody has to win four games before this series is over and only two have been played so far. The crowd went wild when it learned that.

Good Night, Babe Says, If Giants Repeat Today Schumacher Explodes ‘Hubbell Only’ Theory and Senators Have Backs to Wall as Hitters Fail: Ruth Does Best to Alibi for Cronin’s Judgment. BY BABE RUTH NBW YORK, Oct. 5. —Two persistent ideas which prevailed before th® world series got under way were completely shattered yesterday. One was that the Giants would be a set-up for Alvin Crowder any time he was turned loose against them. The other was that none of the New York pitchers, aside of Hubbell, figured to hold the harder-hitting Senator* in check. Hal Schumacher, who has served only this 1933 season as a big league regular, was not looked upon seriously by some of the experts, but the youngster w-ent the full distance yesterday with only one run against him, that run a homer into the right field stand. The veteran Crowder, one of the American League’s best pitchers for some years past, took the long trip to the dugout in the sixth. I expect to see Crowder back, perhaps tomorrow or Saturday. He is a fellow w'ho can not get enough work to satisfy him, and he always wants to come back for another fling whenever he is knocked out by a team. I am sure he asked Joe Cronin today if he could not start again if the series is prolonged.

Some will criticise Cronin for not taking Crowder out sooner yesterday. I think Joe was a bit too considerate, but it was easy to understand why. Crowder and Whitehill were the two pitchers he had to depend upon for the second and third games. Joe wanted to keep Whitehill for tomorrow, so he went the limit with Crowder, always certain that Alvin figured to do as well with any hitter at the plate as any of his other pitchers might do. Slow Runners Upset Cronin This case w r as different from letting a pitcher stay in w'hile a team overcame a big lead. The one swing by Lefty O’Doul put the Giants In front, 2 to 1, with one out. Cronin hoped for a double play on Jackson and then on Mancuso, as both are slow men. But one hit safely and the other laid dowm a perfect bunt. When Ryan fanned that left only one more out and Schumacher wau due at the plate. So Crowder w T as left in the box. It is easy to “second guess” on a case of this kind, but I believe many other managers would have done the same when the particular batters were considered, and when the man in the box figured to be so much better than any body who might be called into replace him. Such circumstances alter situations. Cronin’s judgment did not cost the ball game. It really W'as over when Lefty O'Doul slapped that single into center field. The Senators w r ere helpless against Schumacher, failing to get more than one hit in any inning. So they figured to lose. Any time a pitcher allows five hits at the rate of one per inning there is no reason for looking elsewhere for an answer. Travis Jackson Shines I thought Travis Jackson gave a grand display at third base, grander when you figure that he is playing out of his regular position. He played like one who never had performed anyw'here else. I have not given up on the Senators, whom I picked as the series winners. I will play the string out with them. But I am convinced that they are up against a tougher proposition than I ever figured they would be in this series. The way these Giants are playing they would be tough to beat four times in five games and that is just w'hat Washington must do as a result of losing the first two games. It’s quite a task. It was to be Fitzsimmons vs. Whitehill today in Washington and that looks like a tossup to me. Both know all the tricks of the trade, and each has a puzzling delivery. If the Giants take this one, good night. (Copvrlsht, 1933. by Christy Walsh Syndicate) SAHLIN REGAINS JOB By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 5.
