FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 5, 1328. fPART III.T Ccckct to Tclie on Stratford in Decisive Tilt Hollywood Noses Out Bells in Ten Innings, 7-6 St. Louis Thoroughly Pleased With Way Opening Game Turned Out; So Says Bill McKechnie BY EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Tress Sports Writer 9 (- perhaps the first time in the history of world series, the champions of the American and National leagues played a ball game today and both were perfectly satisfied with the way it turned OUt.

4aa miirlrlw ss Vio muM A'etc York Hurler is Hero of Yanks' 41 Triumph MeuseTs Homer With One on Cinches First Game Don Moses, star fullback of the University of Southern California varsity last year, was an interested spectator at practice last night. Moses will return to the institution in February and be eligible for A crowd that at times blocked traffic at First and Broadway yesterday heard The Times' play-by-play account of the initial world's series clash and also followed the progress of the game on the big score board. Today's game will also be broadcast over The Times public address system for the benefit of the baseball fans who will be downtown, as will all the remaining games of the series. The game today will start at 10:30 a.m., local time. A play-bv-play description of the series is also being broadcast by four of the Los Angeles radio stations, KFL KPLA, KFWB and KMTR.

Today's game will conclude the first two to be played in the Yankee stadium. The teams will meet in St. Louis beginning Sunday for a three-game series before returning to New York. The local broadcast of the games played in St. Louis will start at 11:30 ajn.

i A PLAY-BY-PLAY REPORT OF YANKEE WIN OVER CARDINALS "That was an easy game to Manager Bill McKechnie of the Cardinals announced as his team trot- ted back Into the dressing-room, silent but by no means downhearted at the 4-to-l victory of New York's belting beauties. "Waite Hoyt pitched a marvelous game. There was nothing we could do about it. He was Just in there and right, and that's all there e. was t0 ik- little Lefty Sherdel pitched a great game, too, and his own brand of hurling would have won nine out of ten contests.

Hoyt deserves to win. Don't think this series is on the chutes though." the little fellow who once played ball on the Yankee club warned all within hearing. "The Yanks won the first game of the 1926 series, too, but the Cardinals won the championship. Pete Alexander will be in there tomorrow and there'll be another story." The American League champions took victory as calmly as though they had been the favor- ites all along with the pre-series dopelers. "Looks like the cripples did pretty well," crowed the clouting king of them alL Babe Ruth.

"We'll do it some more. Four games is enough for this series." The Bambino, yanking off his socks in a hurry so as to beat some one to a hot shower, chuckled over the three hits he gathered during the day. "I was sure due for some," he said. "That first double ofT Sherdel was a fast ball over the outside corner, the second a nice slow ball inside. I guess that Sherdel is a cousin of mine, after all." Miller Hugglns, the mighty atom who directs the husky Yanks, seemed more in need of restoratives and violet-ray machines than any of the crippled warriors on his staff.

Worn and tired, Miller dressed only two hire gotten that far off Hoyt's beautiful curve pitching. One hit, no runs, no errorg. New York. Bengoush out. Frisch to Bottomley.

It is a sensational play with close decision, Bottomley drives single to riEht Held Haley flies to Ruth, The away from the sight and sound of baseball He said either Georpp Pipgras or Tom Zachary, the veU eran Bouthpaw, would pitch tomorrow.

There was a heartache for Sherdel in the home run Bob Meusel smacked to settle the issue in the fourth inning. The little southpaw was quite dis-. consolate. "All day," he said, I fed Meusel low balls on the outside except just once. My control slipped and I tossed him a curve that broke high on the outside.

You saw what he does to that -kind of a ball. "Those Yankees are a troublesome club. They had me in a hole all the time. I never could get ahead of them and take a chance wasting slow balls to get them biting. "I suppose I did pitch a good game," said Hoyt as he scrambled for a shower, "but I did better when I shut out the Giants with two hits in the second game of the 1921 series.

But did you see that stop and throw Koenig made on Frankie Frisch in the ninth Inning; greatest play I ever saw." Once out of the showers, Iloyt lined up his shaving things for the ceremonial that follows every crucial game he pitches. With the rest of the players jeering good-naturedly, he scraped away a thlrty-six-hour growth of beard. "I'm not superstitious," he said half in apology. "My face smarts after shaving-. If I didn't wait until after the it would tnke my mind off my work." HUNTINGTON PARK LOSE TO ROMANS The strong Los Angeles High lightweight eleven, ran rough shod over the Huntington Park Babes yesterday, winning by a 38-0 score.

Klein at fullback for the Romans, starred, scoring four touchdowns. McLain and Kraemer scored the other two. Capt. Flibotte at end and Sample at center stood out on the line.

Henri Cochet, singles champion of France ana the United States, meets Gerald Stratford, former California 6tar In one match; with John Van Rn, Princeton captain, and first-ranking collegiate player, tackling Christian Boussus of the French Davis Cup team in the second feature match. In addition, the finals of the women's doubles and the junior sinples are on schedule, as are semifinals in other events, making the day the most enterprising to date In the tournament. DOEG BEATEN Yesterday's matches included a sensational and surprise victory over Johnny Doeg, youthful Santa Monica Davis Cup alternate, In straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. Henri Cochet had no trouble in winning from Sidney Wood, 7-5, 6-2. and Christian Boussus was forced to his best to win over Ellsworth Vines, 8-6, 6-3, in the three men's singles matcher Doe? looked brilliant' at the start of his macth, scoring Ihrce service aces in the second game, Herrington broke through his serve in the eithth game, however, and won out, 6-3.

In the second set. Herrington again sparkled in the eighth game, winning at love to even the count at 4-alt Doeg then look 5-4 lead, but Herrington won three straight games and the aet. The former Stanford star played an aggressive game throughout, and was on his after every ball, and deserved to win. Vines forced Eoussus to the limit in their match. The young Pasade-nans service was far better than that of Boussus, but the Frenchman's marvelous placements and his steadiness brought him through victoriously.

He usually was content to hit the ball back, without trying fancy shots, and forced Vines Into errors in long rallies. Vines broke through Boussus to lead at 6-5 in the first set. but the Frenchman rallied to win three straight games, the first on four consecutive errors by Vines, Boussus easily won the second set, outgeneraling his youthful opponent. Cochet played listlessly with Wood in their first set, only rallying when the score was 5-2 against him, and winning five consecutive games and the set. He allowed the score to to two-all in the second set before he spurted, and ran out without trouble.

"MIDGE" ADVANCES Midge Gladman, youthful University of Southern California star, and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, vet-, eran of the courts, advanced to the semifinals of the women's singles with straight-set victories yesterday. Miss Gladman won hardily from Ethel Burkardt, 6-3, 6-3, and Mrs. Bundy defeated Virginia Piatt, 6-1. Mrs.

I him at sixtn i Smith's Homer With Ttco on in Ninth Ties Score Valla Comes in from First With Winning Marker BY BOB RAY With all the drama and excitement present which was lacking from the opening world series clash between the Cards and Yanks, the Hollywood Stars wound up their Coast League season by nosing out the Missions, 7 to 6, after ten pulsating innings at Wrigley Field yesterday. Money, the root of all evil and the prin 1 ELMER SMITH cipal reason for Interest, -was the cause of the Stars' real battle for the victory. Hist, mates, and I'll tell you the lowdown.

There's a bonus up for the athletes in this split-season business and it may be that yesterday's win will mean $500 for the Stars. It's a long and complicated story, but in case there's no playoff for the pennant the Stars and Sacs, who are tied for the season's play, must split the $3000 and $2000 second and third-place bonuses. But should the Sacs win the second half playoff and get into the playoff for the pennant with the Seals, the Sacs will get $3000 for their efforts and the Bells will win the $2000 fourth-place prize that is given only in the event of a pennant playoff. Should the Sacs have lost yesterday the Hollywood victory would have meant an additional $1000 for the Stars and my, how they battled I Going into' the ninth th Stars were three runs behind. Kerr then doubled and went to third on Twombly's single.

That brought Elmer Smith, a home-run clouter, to the plate. Smith hit the first ball pitched into the bleachers for the circuit and the ball game was tied, 6 to 6. In the ninth inning Sam Aenew singled with one away and Gene Valla was fortunately put in to. run for him. Shellenback.

who had taken on the hurling assignment. popped out, but Dud Lee drove liner into right. Ike Boone lost the baii in the sun and it went for a double. Valla put on all the speed he could muster and Just did score from first on the hit with what proved to be the winning run. The Stars took the lead In the third when, after Lee had forced Wetzel, who singled, Kerr doubled to left for a run.

A walk to Smith and Cleo Carlyle's home run over the left center-field wall gave the Stars two more in the fourth and a 3-to-0 lead. Buzz WetzeL who had been hurl ing shutout ball for four innings, weakened in the fifth and the Bells put over five runs on three walks, a couple of errors, a single by Boone and Fuzzy Huftt's homer. Hufft's homer, by the way, came with two on. The other Mission run came In the sixth on another error by Lee, a force play, a stolen base by Mitchell and Boone's single. Outside of the third and fourth Ernie Nevers kept the Stars in check until Smith got his timely circuit swat in the ninth.

Any how, that's all for this season.

WHITE SOX BEATEN BY CUBS, 5-3 Cubs Take Overtime Tilt from American Leaguers by 5-3 Margin CHICAGO, Oct.

4. W-AU because of an error, the White Sox lost a ball game today, the Cubs winning second of the current series for the city baseball title, 5 to 3 in fourteen innings of dramatic baseball. The error that paved the way for the Cubs' ultimate victory came in the ninth inning) The Sox were leading, 2 to 1, Tommy Thomas was HACK WlLSOM pitching masterful ball, having struck out Cuyler and Wilson for the first two outs of the inning; Stephenson was on second by rea son of, a slashing double down the lert-neld foul line and cnariey Grimm was at bat. He sent an easy grounder rolling toward Art Shires, White Sox rookie first baseman. Shires picked up the ball, dropped it and before he could recover, the Cubs' first baseman was safe and Stephenson had crossed the plate with the tying run.

Fifteen thousand fans settled back' in their seats and for four innings watched Thomas and Bush turn back the opposing batsmen in rapid order. The Sox got a break in the twelfth when Metzler and Kamm singled in succession, but Clssell and Hunnefield failed in the pinch. Without warning came the end. It was the fourteenth inning. Kiki Cuyler, the slugging Cubs right fielder, was at bat.

He grounded out, bringing Hack Wilson, the Babe Ruth of the National League, to the plate. Hack looked for the first two over and then slammed the ball against the right-field wall for a triple. Stephenson, however, sent an easy grounder to Hunnefield and Wilson was trapped between third and home, Stephenson racing to second. The White Sox management called on a bit of strategy, which failed. Grimm was passed to get at Hartnett and the Cubs' catcher, indignant over the seeming insult, slashed the ball to right center, scoring Stephenson and Grimm.

Butler also doubled, scoring Hart nett, but his run was only a matter of course. The story of how the Sox came back and scored one run on a dou ble by Shires and a single by Kamm was only an aftermath. Clancy was sent in to bat for Cissell as a last hope, but he fouled out to Hartnett and the Cubs had a two-game lead in tne series, The official attendance was 629 ana the total $17,513. The play. ers' share was the clubs', and the baseball commis sion, $1752.30.

Jolley played in all of the Seals' 181 games this year. Ruth, Gehrig Aid Hugmen in Opening Victory (Continued from First Faze) 75,000 were on foand. The official count of 61,425, therefore, was something of a shock to the experts.

Besides falling below the world's series record of 63,500 made in the stadium In 1926, it caused considerable doubt in the minds of most observers as to the accuracy of the 85,000 figure. The gate receipts, however, shattered all previous marks by totaling $224,130, due to the existence of more and higher priced reserve seats. This figure surpassed the mark of $209,665 for a single-series game set in the stadium last year. Hoyt Deserved Win, Bottomley Says in Story Jim Bottomler. firtt baimtn.

4. We certainly have no alibis for our defeat in the first game. Any time a pitcher is good enough to deal out only three hits, he deserves to win. Waite Hoyt showed us one good reason why the Yankees won their sixth league pennant in eight years. As the saying goes, he had everything.

He seemed to weaken a trifle in the eighth, but SUMNV JrM bOTTOMLEV like most good pitchers he had enough reserve to regain his poise and finish strong. I am sorry for Bill Sherdel. He appears to be our hard-luck world series pitcher. He pitched a good game, holding the Yanks to four hits in the seven innings he worked, but as in the scries of 1926, we couldn't get any runs for him. We got only shree runs for Sherry in the two games he pitched in 1926, and we bagged only one run today.

Hit pitching certainly deserves a better fate that that LONG 1T1TS There were more long hits in this game than I looked for, four of New York's seven hits being for added yardage. The tough part about them was that they all counted, the doubles by Ruth and Gehrig producing one run in the first inning, and Ruth's second double coming ahead of Meusel's homer in the fourth. The Babe, of course, with two doubles and a single, each of which played a part in York's run scoring, was the big batting hero of the afternoon, but the most damaging punch was Meusel's home run. That sock gave the Yanks a 3-to-0 lead, and a margin of that length with Hoyt pitching so etec-tively was unbeatable. The third cog in the heart of New York's attack, Lou Gehrig, also was functioning.

It was his timely hitting which placed us in arrears in the first inninqr, and closed the scoring in the eighth. We know now that both the Babe of Gehrig can bit left and right-hand pitching, as Ruth got two double oft Sherdel and a single off Johnson, whereas Gehrig doubled against Sherdel and singled off Johnson. FIRST PITCHER Hoyt is one of the fastest pitchers I've seen. He concentrated on his fast ball, using a curve now and then to get us off stride and to make his speed all the more effective. He had the fastest stuff I've looked at since Dazzy Vance gave us that trimming over in Brooklyn ten days ago.

Manager Hugglns Indicated that he was on the alert when he played for defense after his club had assumed the lead. His second baseman, Lazzerl, has a lame shoulder, and in an effort to fortify second base Hug sent in the additional defensive strength by replacing Paschal with Durst. There was no chance for us to benefit by any break in the New York ramparts, as the Yanks refused to crack in the field. They played winning ball all around, and deserve all the praise possible. However, you can tell the world well be in there to regain lost ground in the second game.

The Yanks beat us in the first game two years ago, but we won the series. We also intend to win this one. COMPTON FOOTBALLERS NOSE OUT LONG BEACH Playing an even, concerted brand of ball, the Compton High School Class team defeated the Long Beach babes, on the latters field. 6-0.

COMPTON BABES BEAT JEFFERSON ELEVEN, 13-0 Compton lightweights handed the Jefferson Babes a 13-0 licking yesterday afternoon in a ragged game played on the Compton gridiron. Howell at half and Sdrenson at quarter starred for the Lions.

The tough Compton heavyweight eleven took on the light Jefferson sauad in a practice scrimmage after the lightweights got through playing. Compton, considered one of the strongest teams in the Southland, was given a hard workout by the scrappy Democrat team.
