Annapolis Team Lauds Contest In Final Minutes Of Play. By V. WIIiSOJT WIXGATE, With a rush and a bang the State college championship football race got off to a flying start yesterday and inauspicious weather conditions in nowise affected the most auspicious break from the barrier made by the quartet Maryland elevens that battled tooth and nail to prevent elimination from the title quest. Down on the banks of the Severn, at Annapolis, in as thrilling a gridiron duel as the most rabid fan could ask for, the Orange and Black colors of St. John's were hauled to the masthead of victory, supplanting the Maroon and Black of "Washington College just when it was beginning to appear that the Eastern Shoremen were going to carry the laurels back to Chestcrtown.

The score in this contest was 9 to 3. The afternoon found the Black and Blue of Hopkins striving to wave triumphantly above the heads of the sturdy band of Mountaineers from Emmitsburg. Mount St. Mary's, however, fought doggedly and well, and, although for the most part outplayed, managed to keep its standard unsullied and its goal line inviolate until They played a game at Gotham yesterday in the World Series, but there wasn't one sound at Oriole Park which resembled the impact of bat against ball; Umpire Murray was the target for no verbal abuse, and not a single pop bottle was the missile of a misguided fan, who thought he was showing his loyalty to the home club. It was all because Old Sol, after behaving like a perfect gentleman to the ball club owners for 24 days, forgot all about his manners, or the fact that Saturday crowds usually fill the coffers of the magnates, hid his face, and allowed Jupe Pluve to mount to the throne and reign until a game between the Orioles and the Saints was out of the question.

Today may tell a different story. It is true that showers are predicted in the morning, followed by cooler weather, but Jack Dunn and his minions will engage the Saints if it is humanly possible and hope to close the series here tomorrow, prior to taking the long jaunt which ends in Minnesota. Dunn hoped for a game until 3.30 o'clock, but the steady downpour of the morning had turned the diamond into a better aquarium for eels than a foundation for deeds of baseball prowess, and he reluctantly told his office force to announce "No game today."

Football fans who saw a St. John's football team of three years elzo stare, in The postponement was a disappointment in more ways than one. The play-era Bhare in the first four games, and 'Saturday, with its half holiday, is always looked upon as a fertile field for receiving the financial tributes of the fans. liall clubs would make little money if Saturdays and Sundays were denied them, and the tans considered themselves "out of luck" at a failure to witness what they hoped would be the humiliation of the invaders. "It was too slippery and wet to thinK of a uame," said Dunn, "and there was nothing else for me to do but call the third contest off.

We were all anxious to play, but it rained too much in the morning. We are hoping for better things tomorrow."

With Jack Ogden hurling today, Bentley will take another fling at the Westerners tomorrow, and the big fellow believes that the additional day will improve his pitching. It is not likely that either manager will do anything in the way of shaking up his line-up.

Tim Hendryx, the Saints' outfielder, will hardly play in any game here, but he has a capable substitute in Walter Christensen. Dunn plans to keep the Birds intact for the present, with Lena Styles, Dick Porter and Joe Barry in reserve. Critical Contest. today's contest is played it is generally recognized that it is critical to the hopes of the Birds. To take the series they should take the two remaining games, and a setback at this juncture would be suicidal to their hopes.

St. Paul expects to take at leat another, and in the words of Manager Kelly, "Will win the series without fail if we leave Baltimore with an even break." Yesterday's postponement necessitates a change in time for the Birds' departure. As matters now stand, and today's and tomorrow's games are played as per schedule, they will leave for St. Paul tomorrow evening instead of tonight. In any event the clubs will remain in this city until the allotted four games are finished.

Meanwhile cold weather is approaching in the Northwest and all hands are praying for hot weather. ers of the other club has eagerly snapped it up. Well friends the real dope as far as I been able to find out is that when the papers says 7 to 5 in favor of the Yankees they mean that some plunger from the fashionable lower East Side has laid 70 cents vs. 50 cents and when the odds is 6 to 5 in favor of the Giants it means that some other plunger has laid three 2 cent stamps vs. 2 ones and a 2.

Once in awhile you read that Mr. Strauss has got a commission of 10 thousand smackers to lay on the Giants and same can be grabbed by going over to his place in Brooklyn. But when yoa get there you find out that his place is a shoe repair shop and the proprietor's little gal is going over the floor with a broom trying to find the only dime in the joint.

Looked For Rain. The lease said about the game out there today, why so much the better. After the 1st innings we was afraid that the game would be stopped on acct. of rain. After the 1st half of the 5th innings we was afraid it wouldn't.

I will not make no further comments in regards to how the game was played only to state that if it had been played in St. Louis and some of the athletes had stopped a pop bottle with their bean they would of been glass shqwered all over the ball yard.

Cunningham was playing deep, but he had to turn and run. Every now and then he would look back over his shoulder despairingly as if he did not believe a ball could go so far. He and that drive seemed like parallel lines destined to meet only in infinity. But at last infinity came. Cunningham was not to be jilted after so long a chase.

He stretched out as far as he could go and made the catch. Fell Against Bleacher Wall. The business of slowing up was even harder. Falling on his face, Cunningham's feet and legs kept on going. He spun around on his neck like Fred Stone in an acrobatic act.

Finally he came down again and stopped against the wall of the center field blechers. It was impossible to hear the thud because of the cheering, but even the shouting of the 37,000 came to Cunningham like a whisper because he was so badly shaken up. They had to help him to his feet and induce him to give up the ball. Witt went to third after the catch and Dugan had ample time to have gone back to first and then on to second, but he neglected to do so. Pipp hit a long one to right center and WTitt came home and Dugan reached third.

But Pipp himself foolishly tried for second and Young caught him a mile with a good throw to Bancroft. That error in judgment probably cost a run. Meusel Steals Second. Bob Meusel kept up the cannonade with a line single to right which scored Dugan. Bob stole Becond after two foul strikes had been charged up against Schang, and on Snyder's low throw he went to third.

It seemed as if the case of McQuillan was hopeless, but McGraw knew better. He let him stay and he curved over a third strike on Schang. Thereafter he pitched beautifully, although he was in grave danger in the ninth. Carl Mays began for the Yankees and the jinx, which has been pursuing him all year followed him right into the World Series. It seemed just the day for a submarine pitcher and he would have been all right if only he could have thrown out the fifth inning.

The two-run lead loomed particularly as the rain persisted and even spurted, threatening to drown oat the proceedings. Giants Sport In Fifth. The conditions under which the second game of the series was called were paradisiacal compared to today. When the fifth inning came around the Giants knew that the game would be legal and binding as soon as they finished their turn at bat. Accordingly, to protect themselves against any sudden contingencies of the weather, they proceeded to make four runs.

Snyder began by banging a hot grounder to Scott. The ball tore out of the shortstop's hands and caromed away to center for a single. McQuillan seemed wholly ineffective in his first attempt to hit. He swung feebly at a curve and missed by a wide margain. Perhaps he lured Mays into over-confidence.

He a fast ball and McQuillan lined a clean double to left, close to the foul line. Snyder went to third. The next one was the lucky shot. Mays had two strikes on Bancroft when he hit sharply but directly at Ward. The ball hopped high just as the second baseman reached for it and went over his head into right field.

Both Snyder and McQuillan scored on the single. Carl's jinx chuckled, but it was not done with plaguing him. LiWclcF Hit For Groh, In attempting to dodge a bad one Heinie Groh's bat got in the way and splashed the ball just past Mays, who could not quite get to it on account of the slippery footing. This put runners on first and second. Frisch sacrificed, neatly bunting the ball to Mays.

Irish Meusel was up and things looked bad. They were. Meusel tapped the ball and it came to Ward with a slow high bound. Bancroft scored while the bat- Play toy play of the World Series Game will be found on Page 18. I A.

Neither Ilopkins nor Mount St. Mary's was able to flash a sustained attack yesterday afternoon in their battle at Homewood. Although the Black and Blue showed the ability to gain almost at will in midfield and several times were within scoring distance, the combination of gridders brought hens by Coach Dickerman always tightened when the pinch became tight enough, or else Ilopkins killed off its own chances by faulty work on the part of the quarterback or by incurring penalties at unfortunate for them moments. Fourteen first downs, to two for the Mountaineers, availed the Baltimoreans nothing and the boys from the Blue Ridge continually unfurled a "nothing doing" flag whenever the Van Orman-O'Rourke machine threatened to cross Into sacred territory. lias Chance To Score.

Hopkins' first chance to score came in the last minute of the initial period and in the first minute of the second. Late in the first session a 20-yard run by Bonner around left end had placed the ball on the Mountaineers' 2li-yard line. Turnbull smashed left tackle for four yards. Then Wilson failed to sain at the other tackle, but Turnbull added three yards in a drive at the right side of the line, placing the ball on the 15-yard line. At this point the quarter ended and when the teams lined up at the other end of the field it was fourth down and three to go.

The ball was too far over near the south sideline to permit of a try for a field goal, so Wilson sent Turnbull into the line again. Doug, however, couldn't make his distance and the ball went over, spoiling one chance for a score. Wilson evidently had so much confidence in the ability of hi3 backs to gain under any conditions that he passed two chances to run the ball out in front of the goal in position for a place or drop-kick in case the. rushing game failed him. A few plays after this the Hopkins coaches sent Walker Taylor into the fray, removing Wilson and shifting Bonner from half to qaarter.

At the very beginning of the second half the Baltimoreans plugged straight down the field from kick-off until they were halted on Mount St. Mary's 13-yard line. Cronin kicked off to Walbert to start the third period. It was a short kick that gave the Black and Blue the ball on its own 40-yard line, after Walbert had run the ball back 10 yards. Two end runs by Taylor and Bonner for five yards each, interspersed with off-tackle plays and straight-line bucks, brought the Baltimoreans three successive first downs.

On the fourth down, on the occasion when the locals failed to make their distance, three yards were needed for first down. The ball was almost directly in front of the goal posts. Obviously Bonner should have called for a dropkiek. He did not do so, and Willis got only a yard of the necessary distance. Cronin then proceeded to kick out of danger.

Miss Another Chance. Shortly after this, when Middleton'a recovery of a Mountaineer fumble had given Hopkins the ball deep in the territory the former, theBaltimoreans missed another opportunity to score. Ruiz, Mount St. Mary's ouarteroack, had just broken up one Hopkins forward, when Bonner got off a pretty tosg, right in his left end's hands. Middleton.

however, with a clear field in front of him, dropped the ball. With three minutes remaining to play, a play ccurred that at first had the Black and Blue stands thinking they had two points from a safety. A Ilopkins midfield gaining rampase had been halted on the Mount St. Mary's 30-yard line. Turnbull 6tepped back 10 yards and prepared to try a drop-kick.

The ball sailed low and was touched in its flight by the Mountaineer right halfbjck. The leather, however, continued on over the goal line with (Continued, on Page 18.) Two-base hits McQuillan, "Witt, Pipp. Home run Ward. Stolen base R. Meusel.

Yesterdav morning another gathering of devotees of the great autumn pastime witnessed a drive it will never forget.

Three Minutes Of Thrills. Four minutes were left of the last quarter of the game with Tom Kibler' aggregation of moleskin artists from Washington College when Cavanaugh, kicking off for the Eastern Shoremen, following the field goal that had placed them in the lead by the margin of a single point, gave to Hoban's pupils the ball that they never relinquished until the goal line had been crossed. In the breath-takinsr three minutes that seemed half an hour enough of thrills were crammed for a half dozen games, and those of the spectators who saw the garrison finish at Homewood three years ago remembered that two of the men who were most prominent on that occasion' were again the heroes of the hour. Since Semler no longer wears the colors of the Johnnies, the duty of carrying that eleventh-hour drive to success devolved, so it happened, upon the two remaining members of that trio of another day. From the moment that a St.

Andy Kirkpatrick. Washington In Danger. Taking the ball on the first play following the kickoff, Kirkpatrick sprinted, sidestepped, ducked, dodged and lunged his way around Washington's left end for 35 yards. He was tackled about five yards from the side line and on the next play Ridgely drove up the side line for 10 yards and the goal-line drive was fairly under way.

Twice more he hit the line and the result was that Washington found itself backed ud the shadow of its goal posts. Kirkpatrick tried Carroll's end without success and Ridgely was stopped once at right guard. The next time, however, he plowed through for four yards and the bail was on ashington's one-foot-line. Then on the last down, Engelkee took the ball from center and followed that player far enough to get the ball across the line. Engelkee followed this up bv' making his try-for-point good, via the dropkiek, and a few seconds after the kickoff the whistle blew ending the game.

Followers of the Johnniec, having ridden on the high tide of bright hope for three periods, after the two points secured the first two minutes of the first quarter, only to seeminglv find late in the final session that the feet of their idol were of clay, were unable to contain themselves when their favorites charged over the line for the lone touchdown of the game. Where a moment before had been on the St. John's side of the field a breathless, tense, almost silent gathering of rain-soaked spectators pandemonium reigned new fall hats sailed into the air, nnbrellas were smashed and the stands emptied into the playing field, which in a flash became the scene of a milling sea of frantically jubilating humanity.

'SPIRIT OF YANKS LOST'-M'GRAW Giants' Leader Declares Opponents Have No Fight Left In Them. New York, Oct. 7.

Broken spirit is burying the Yankees in the pit of World Series defeat, in the opinion of John McGraw, Giant leader. "There's no fight left in them," said McGraw after the fourth game today. "If they had been fighting they would not have lost in nine innings, for they booted several chances to tie the score. In the fifth inning we got hits and breaks, too, and we took advantage of everyone. We won the game in that inning.

Bob Meusel's half-hearted loping to first in the seventh was costly to the Yankees. Had Meusel dashed to first, fighting, as he should well, figure that out. Ward's home run would have scored him. And then, Schang should never, in my opinion, have tried to stretch his hit in the ninth into two bases. The Yanks should have played for the tying run first.

"It isn't often that a ball team gets a two-bagger, a single, an infield oat and 1i long fly in one inning without scoring. Yet, the "San tees had these in the ninth today and failed. Says Giants Are "The Giants have been fighting every inch of the way and without this fighting spirit they would have been perhaps three games behind instead of three ahead." Miller Huggins, the Yankees manager, attributed the loss of the fourth game to "the ill-fortunes of the game." "We may have made errors of judgment," he said, "but we are trying. We wanted to win and we took chances. We didn't play ball as we can play it, I'Jl admit, but there's no use whimpering about it.

There's left to us a fighting chance. I think we'll take it. If we lose the series we'll lose it fighting." Cunningham Is Praised. Sam Jones, who has finished two games for the Yankees, will probably be held in reserve. So pleased is McGraw with the pitching staff that the experts called "inferior" that he may eive the youthful Ryan a chance to- morrow.

Jonnard also is an eligible. Nehf has had his three days rest and is the logical choice. Cunningham's brilliant work afield today won McGraws praise. Cnnnie pulled Ruth's drive off the center-field bleacher wall in the first inning and then in the ninth made the throw that caught Schang at second after the Yankee catcher had poked a single over second. Casey Stengel still is suffering from his lame leg and Cunningham will stay in center field.

The Yankees needed just one run to tie, and Pipp began the last half of the ninth by smashing the ball down the first-base line for a two-base hit.

Then Huggins decided to switch his tactics. Meusel took a cut" at the next one and rapped to Groh, who made a fast toss to Bancroft, and Pipp was run down between second and third. Meusel did not get past first. This was less promising, but Schang hit a beautiful single to left center. It was a long one and there was not a doubt in the world that Meusel could reaeh third.

The Giants threw in that direction' just to fool Schang. They succeeded. Bancroft cut off Cunningham's fine throw and diverted it to Frisch, who tagged Schang as he slid for second. There- were two out and Ward was the last chance. He sent a long fly to.

We will start this article out with a little heart interest story which come off right after today's big battle at the alleged Polo Grounds.

I had been invited to ride down in Harry Frazee's costly motor which was parked inside the grounds and down near the athletes' dressing rooms. We found the car all right but it took quite a while to find the driver, as he had bet on the Yankees. He finally showed up when everybody but we and two or three of the athletes had gone home. Right outside of the gate was a couple of little kiddies, standing in the drooling rain to catch a glimpse of the heroes as they drove out in their costly limousines. Well, friends, in addition to the driver the inmates of our car wei-e myself, Frankie Callahan, Mr.

Frazee, the proprietor of the car, and a friend of his named Mr. Belwin. Well, friends, the two little kiddies saw us coming and one of them advanced dangerously close the car so as to get a good look. IJe got his good look and turning to his companion, said: "There's nobody in there." Flood Of Telegram. Reaching my costly office along about the time when people who had bet on the Giants was enjoying their supper, I found the joint flooded with telegrams from big gamblers all over our land.

Every one of them wanted to know who I was picking to win the World Serious cf 1923. Speaking about gamblers I suppose you fans had read all the columns that has been wrote in regards to the betting on this serious. One day the boys come out and 6ay that the Yankees is a big favorite for this game or that game and the odds is 7 or 8 to 5. The next day the odd3 has shifted a little and the big gamblers is offering 6 to 5, with the Giants favorites. You naturally suppose that somebody has offered to lay a few paltry hundred thousands on this club or that club, and the support I SI ter was being thrown nnf s.t first.

Young singled cleanly to left, scoring Groh. That made four runs. Almost immediately Young was caught off first, but it did not look as if he minded much. By this time the skies were so threatening that it seemed more important to let the Yankees have their inning and make the game legal than to score any more Double Play Checks Yanks. The wet ball bothered McQuillan and he passed Scott, but after Mays popped out Witt hit into a double play.

The ball went from Frtsch to Bancroft to Kelly and it was superbly fast as even in heavy going Witt gets spryly to first. As we have mentioned, Meusel didn't run out his hit in the seventh and so Ward's home run, his second of the series, left the Yankees still one behind. At this point it seemed as if the game might have to be called on account of wet score cards, as the rain was plotting down harder than ever. Elmer Smith batted for Mays in the eighth inning and Sam Jones finished the game. Sam always finishes the game after Smith has struck out for somebody.

When the pinch-hitter had been disposed of in the usual way, Witt created a little excitement by doubling to left. There was only one out, and Dugan was at bat with Ruth on deck. Dugan hit a fly to center, but Cunningham made a nice catch. Ruth looked menacing but his best was a loft to short right field Frisch went out and got it and a good many of the rooters began to remember that Babe bumped Groh yesterday and booed him. From the point of view of a Yankee partisan the ninth was horrible, although it must be admitted that the.
