an angry tail wind of fan invective which blew him clear out of the Detroit ball park months ago has accounted for two-thirds of Boston’s present advantage in the series. There never has been a series which has known such majestic frony and Mr. York, an Indian of fractional parts, is responsible. All along the scholars said: “Stop Ted Williams and you stop the Sox.” Evidently the Cardinals’ manager pelleved thé. To stop Williams he devised an extraordinary defense, the details you must be familiar with by now. To all practical: purposes, Williams has been stopped but at the pauperizing expense of permitting Mr. York to escape. The effect has been that of collaring a pickpocket and letting a bank robber get away with millions. Mr. York has hit two home runs. Both won ball games. Two pitches, two swings, two victories. Seldom does ‘Coolidge economy of effort achiéve such fruitful results,

Authentic Slugger . “Two bad pitches and we blow two ball games,” moan the National leaguers. But just what is a bad pitch? Perhaps it's a bad pitch when some humpty dumpty rockets the ball out of the park but not when an authentic slugger is up there swinging, and Mr, York is strictly that, a power house capable of turning the best pitch ever thrown into | “bad ball.” ; Mr. York's three-run homer in the first inning yesterday must have given his sensitive soul immense t | satisfaction inasmuch as it was born out of rebuke and scorn, an agoniiz ing travail to a man who has no equal in the South as a hog caller.

Old Brushoff

BOSTON, Oct. 10 (U, P,) —After 28 years of waiting, Boston baseball fans were plainly disappointed today with the world series and they showed it. They ignored ticket scalpers until they came down to bargain-basemeént prices. They skipped pre-game practice and showed up at Fenway park just in time for the Star-Spangled Ban-

But they showed it most of all by passing up a chance to engage in
