By Eddie Ask Cronin Enters Baseball ‘Hal! of Goats’ 800 Terry Outsmarts Boy Chief in Finches
AMERICAN LEAGUE world series supporters nearly all granted that Carl Hubbell was too good for the Senators, but they also were led to believe Manager Joe Cronin df the junior loop champs had succeeded in overcoming the faults that usually tfip up boy managers in their first year. Many big league experts said as much, but evidently they were fooled, too. Joe practically broke down and forgot to think in the second and fourth games, according to certain incidents that happened in those tilts. In the second struggle Cronin left Alvin Crowder on the mound until ten men faced him in the sixth inning. Crowder had reached a stage of exhaustion where he was worthless for further action, but no relief was called in until it was far too late. In the same game Cronin failed to warn his infield to be on guard and Gus Mancuso was permitted to work the squeeze play and beat out the bunt in spite of the fact Gus is one of the slowest runners in baseball. The Senators were caught flat-footed. IN yesterday's long fracas Manager Cronin went to pieces again and let himself become worked up to the boiling point over what he thought was a bad decision against his club. And he was next at bat and fell easy prey to Carl Hubbell's slants, a strikeout victim with a runner on third. It was no spot to go haywire. In the eleventh Travis Jackson was first up for the Giants and again Cronin forgot to caution his infield to watch for a bunt. Jackson is not fast any more, but he saw 7 the Senators were napping and beat out a roller. Naturally, this upset the Washington team and Mancuso sacrificed and Ryan blasted a single that scored what proved the winning marker. In the Senators’ half of the eleventh, with one dow r n and the bases filled. Cronin picked out Cliff Bolton to piroh hit for the pitcher. Bolton bats lefthanded, and there was Cronin sending him up to face Hubbell, the best southpaw in baseball. It was curtains. A double play followed. o tt o a a a SOME scribes explained that Cronin was short of a reliable righthanded pinch hitter. Well, he had on hand Boken, Berg and Kerr. Moreover, he had Sam Rice, described as the fastest runner on the Washington team in spite of the fact he is the oldest in service and years. Rice swings lefthanded, but he has had world series experience and it seems strange Cronin did not prefer to gamble on veteran Sam and his speed rather than on the rookie Bolton, if he thought none of his three righthandc* reserves was capable for the spot. Perhaps old Mordecai < Three-Fingered > Brown was right after all. The former famous Hoosier and Chicago pitcher, in discussing modern baseball, said the other day: “Bell hops can run ball clubs today and get away with it.” tt tt tt tt tt tt CRONIN still has a chance to come through and vindicate some of h’s moves. It has been done, but with the New York pitching staff flowing over with confidence it looks like the Senators are doomed. The American League won five of the last six previous world series and their batting and fielding records during the 1933 season topped the averages of the Giants. But New York pitching and the cunning of Manager Terry, nine or more years older than the Senators’ chief, have combined to put Washington out on a limb and dangling. Terry’s age in the baseball records is given as 35, but some New York scribes think he shaved off two years some where along the line of his career. The average ball player, when he reaches the late twenties, forgets one birthday, in the early thirties he erases two and on approaching 40 he simply forgets to remember and lops off three years and up. a tt e tt tt a 'T'HERES no denying the facts now 7. The Giants made up for their A lack of purtch through the regular season by playing smart and scrappy baseball behind a superb mound staff. The autumnal classic, so far, has brought to light another White Sox team of 1906, a club that overlooks nothing and consistently wins the close ones. Bill Terry was great before he was named manager. Now he has added to his brilliance as a skillful leader of men over the long pull, through a 154-game pennant race and to three out of four victories under world title play strain. Maybe his bad luck is yet to come, but just at present he is on the basejall throne.

Williams Scores Moran n* * for Benching Manush
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—You know, of course, that the Giants won, that they lead three games to one, that the Washingtons are paging one of those well-known miracles, which once in a great while do develop to decide a world series. But let me tell you about a play that came in the sixth inning, which is today, twenty-four hours later, still the talk of baseball. Myer, the Senators’ second baseman, opened the inning with a single. It was a sharp grounder on which Blondy Ryan made a fine stop, but was an instant late in trying for the runner at first base. The score at the time was 1 to 0 in favor of the Giants. Bill Terry had hit a home run into the trick right-center field bleachers. A real smash that went considerably over 400 feet on the line. So the heavy hitting Goslin was sent up to sacrifice. And he did, very deftly, advancing Myer to second on a grounder to third. Then came Manush, the best hitter on the ball club. A single meant a run and a tie score. Manush didn’t single. He hit to Critz at second. The play at first was very close. Charley Moran, the old Centre football coach, was umpiring at first base. As I saw' it, the ball and the runner reached the bag at about the same time. You can’t judge these things from the press box. All vou ever know is that it looks close or it doesn’t. n a tt MORAN had a mean decision to make. He made it against the runner. He called it instantly. The second Manush’s spikes struck the bag the umpire threw back his right hand and barked “Y’re out!” And as the umpire’s voice rang out it smote the ears of Manush. Still on the fly, startled by the decision, Manush, with his left hand extended, reached out and took an impulsive smack at the umpire’s face. It is still a question whether Manush’s hand reached the umpire’s face. The umpire said it did. This is enough for me. I have high appreciation for the character of Charley Moran. But I have no appreciation for the decision which Charley Moran made a second later. He ordered Manush from the ball game. Now I am for maintaining the dignity of the judiciary, I recognize the necessity of discipline, but a ball game is a ball game, not court action. a a a r | ''HERE were 27.000 men, women and children in the ball park. They load paid for their tickets, ranging from sl.lO to $6.60. Most of them were Senator partisans. Quite a few’ of them had a sentimental interest in Manush, the star slugger of the team. All of them were there to see a ball game between two teams at full strehgth. Whether Manush slapped the umpire or not does not strike me. con“dering the circumstances, as being • ghiv important. It was plain that '.a umpire was not hurt. It also is fact that very few people saw the "pulsive action. There were a number of reasons hy Charley Moran should have

Ruth Praises Hurlers and Bunt by Jackson Babe Thinks Both Hubbell and Weaver Gave Marvelous Performance Yesterday; Believes Surprise Move by Giants’ Third Sacker Was Key to Victory. BY BABE RUTH WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—This world series becomes more and more a pitchers’ affair as the days go on. No signs of any w 7 ild hitting by either team, except for that six-run drive by the Giants in the sixth inning of the second game. It is the only inning in which either team has scored more than two runs since the series started. It was even more of a pitchers’ affair yesterday afternoon when the Giants defeated the Senators in the lightest scoring game of the series. In eleven innings the two teams scored three runs, thanks to the brilliant pitching in the pinches by Carl Hubbell and Monte Weaver. As ball players look on these games it was a tough one for Weaver to lose because he came through so brilliantly time and again when the Giants threatened to score on him. And it w r ould have been tougher, in fact a downright shame, if Carl Hubbell had been the loser. For good as Weaver was, he w 7 as not as good as the Giant lefthander who has proven conclusively his right in this series, if such proof were needed, that he is one of the great pitchers of recent years. Surely the greatest tVne vpnr
Series Rivals Get $119,556 By Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—For the first time in eleven years, the players’ pool, drawn from receipts of the first four world series games, has fallen below $300,000. The total is $284,665.68, of which 70 per cent goes to members of the Giants and Senators. The winning series team will split $119,556.59 and the losing team $79,707.39. This means approximately $4,500 for the members of the winning team and $3,500 for members of the losers. The runner-up teams in the rival leagues, the Yankees and Pirates, w 7 ill split $42,699.85, and the thirdplace teams, Athletics and Cubs, $28,566.57. The fourth-place clubs, Cleveland and the Braves, will divide $14,233.28.
forgotten that a baseball umpire is all-powerful. I think the most important of these is that his decision in ordering Manush out of the game might easily have led to a riot of serious proportions. u a tt TT'ROM the point of view of the series itself, the umpire should have realized that in eliminating Manush he was materially weaken* ing the American League champions. It was practically equivalent to taking Ruth out of the Yankees’ batting order. I think Charley Moran not only exceeded his authority—and it is my idea that the umpires have too much authority—but that he did not use common sense. This was a world series ball game, not a ball game between Phillies and Reds.

‘‘lt’s mighty nice to have you here, and I'd like to shake hands with you.” nan SOME of the fellows went by. Then the Babe came along, a grin on his face that you could‘row a boat on. Babe shook the President's hand, w-as preparing to walk on. when Mr. Roosevelt clapped a hand on his shoulder. The Babe fidgeted and fumed. He got red in the face. He twisted his big camel's hair cap into a hundred shapes. He squirmed and shifted his feet uneasily. "Babe,” the President said, ‘‘l want to tell you a story. It was in
this year. It was the second time Hubbell pitched shutout ball in this series, though he was scored on each time. Infield fumbles made it possible for ! the Senators to score two runs I against him Tuesday and his ow 7 n slight fumble in the seventh inning yesterday robbed him of a shutout in nine innings. But he did not let this fluster him. In fact he struck me as the coolest man in the field as he went about the work of making Bill Terry's home run stand up and win a ball game for him. Hubbell the Master Hubbell was in a few tough spots, but all the damage was crowded into a couple of minutes in the seventh inning, w 7 hen his ow r nu fumble Bluege’s sacrifice and Sewell’s single accounted for a run. Before and after he was the Hubbell who pitched all those shutout victories while the Giants were winning their flag. There wasn't much to the game except the tight pitching. It was slow to the extent that almost three hours were used up in playing eleven innings and scoring three runs. Slow play was natural under the conditions. At no time from start to finish did either team have a lead of more than a run. In several innings the score was tied. So there was no opportunity for either pitcher to let up even slightly and take a chance on getting the breaks. He had to give all the time and attention possible to every pitch. I thought Travis Jackson's bunt in the eleventh was the outstanding play of the game. Nobody expected Jackson to do it, because his legs are much slower than they used to be. It was a perfect bunt and his arrival on first base immediately put the Senators on the defensive. It was the hit which turned the tide, though Blondy Ryan delivered the blow which settled the ball game. Now Realizes Giants’ Class It looks very bad for the Senators now. Taking three straight from a team with all the pep and enthusiasm and confidence of the Giants will be quite a task. Terry’s men surely have surprised me with their play in this series, and I can understand now how they won their pennant with plenty to spare, though they had to beat out harderhitting teams. I look for Crowder to pitch for the Senators today, and I figure he should win. He is too good a pitcher to lose two in a row ordinarily, and I think he has had his bad day for this series. Even if he wins, the Senators will be in a bad spot, as they will need two more. Schumacher wifi pitch for the Giants today. I picked Washington to win and I won’t change my selection. But I must admit they look bad right now.
