By Eddie Ash Cronin Enters Baseball ‘Hall of Goats’ mm m Terry Outsmarts Boy Chief in Pinches
\ MERICAN 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 of the junior loop champs had succeeded in overcoming the faults that usually trip up boy managers in their first year. Many big league experts said as much, but evidently they weie 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. TN yesterdays lon* f'racas Manager Cronin went'to piece's again and let 1 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 nrev 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 warn his infield to watch out for a bunt Jackson is not fast any more, but he saw 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 down and the bases filled, Cronin picked out Cliff Bolton to pinch 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 plav followed. aaa a a a SOME scribes explained that Cronin w r as 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 righthanded reserves was capable for the spot. Perhaps old Mordecai i 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.” a it ass st tt CRONIN still has a chance to come through and vindicate some of his 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.

TALKING IT OVER
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer tt rASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—You VY 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. 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 xunner 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. The best hit ball of the series, to be specific. 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 nit 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 you ever know is that it looks close or it doesn't. In this instance, it was a guess. * a a 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 a criminal court action. m m a THERE were 27.000 men. women and children in the ball park. They had 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 strength. Whether Manush slapped the umpire or not does not strike me. considering the circumstances, as £eing highly important. It was plain that
with a similar crowd at the GopherHoosier battle, only Big Ten game on the schedule. Purdue faced a hard opening battle against the powerful Ohio U. eleven. Wisconsin met Marquette at Madison, Illinois traveled to St. Louis to play Washington U., lowa battled Bradley Tech at lowa City, Ohio State played Virginia in an intersectional struggle, and Chicago, under Clark Shaughnessy, started a new era against Cornell college, lowa, in other feature tussles.
the umpire was not hurt. It also is a fact that very few people saw tbnimpulsive action To most of the people it was just a routine play at first base. There were a number of reasons why Charley Moran should have 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. There have been other serious riots on this same ball field. a a a TT'ROM the point of view of the series itself, the umpire should have realized that in eliminating Manush he was materially weakening the American League cham-' pions. It was practically equivalent to taking Ruth out of the Yankees’ batting order. I thinx 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 the Phillies and the Reds. Unless the public valuation of entertainment has changed sharply in recent years. I have my doubts that very many people go to a ball game to see an umpire. And without taking too big a risk. I would be willing to gamble that so far as the crowd at yesterday's game was concerned Manush was a trifle more important than Moran, or his three associates in blue.

INDIANAPOLIS; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1933
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 wild 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 inniiigs 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 would have been tougher, in fact a downright shame, if Carl Hubbell had been the loser. For good as Weaver was, he was 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
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 against him Tuesday and his own 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, when his ownu 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 will 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.

The second Drake marker came in the same quarter on a thirty-two-yard pass, Potts to Smith, and the third resulted from a Butler fumble in the second quarter. Butler staged two long marches in the first half, being stopped once on the twenty-four-yard stripe and later on the ten-yard line. After Drake had scored again in the final quarter, Butler opened a brilliant drive which was climaxed by a forty-yard run by Pete Ray on a lateral pass for a Bulldog touchdown.

I asked about it and was told that Babe Ruth was over in the corner where the biggest crowd was, and that Amelita Galli-Curci was in another.

CITY LEAGUE CRASHES PINS The members of the Citv League, rolling on the Hotel Antler alleys, had the pins flving from the start to the finish Friday night, and some wonderful totals were posted. Don Johnson almost duplicated the feat of Johnny Fehr. who last weeg rolled a 300 game in this loop, but one pin failed to topple for him and he stopped at 289. His other games were 212 and 236, a season's new high three-game total of 737. Johnson was shooting with the Barbasol team and when Fehr helped with a count of 614 these bovs recorded games of 1.039. 1,009 and 1,023. a total of 3.071. The Falls Citv Beer also were getting their share of the strikes and they defeated the Barbasol two out of the three games, when Crav, Mack and Hunt scored 676. 653 and 614 for a three-game mark of 3.095. Falls Citv won the first game. 1.040 to 1.039. Another 700 total was also rolled during the Jones-Malev vs. Hotel Antler match, a “novice” named Jess Pritchett having 703 with counts of 237. 210 and 256. Ed Striebeck had 621 and the auto team won two from the Antler boys, who had Thomas rolling 605. The Marott team had four men. Weisman, Rassmussen. Cobler and Ahearn over the 600 mark and they won two games from Indiana Wheel and Rim. For the losers. Boesnecker continued his good work and scored 621. Consistent shooting gave the Hoosier Coffee team a trile win over Elks Boosters in the final match. No 600 totals appeared. Many games lust one strike awav from that coveted 300 are utting in their appearance. It may be vour turn to score the next one. so be sure and take out that insurance against disapointment by joining the City Bowline Association. All ot the rail birds and bowlers of the Washington League were watching the veteran John Blue, as his work had far overshadowed anything on local alleys for early season plav. The vet had an off night however, and stopped at 599. All games in this league were decided two to one. Hoosier Optical. Berghofle Beer. Coco Cola and Mausner defeating Schmidt Insurance.
