HUNT. With the curtain rung down yesterday on the big leagues' annual production, "Chasing the Pennant," and with the stars" dressing rooms occupied by the Giants and the Yankees, painted and ready for the next big show, fans retired to their homes to review the National and American leagues 8eaon and give a thought 'or two to the classic which starts Wednesday at the Polo Grounds. And New York fans in particular will give a thought 'r two to this series. It'll be as close to them as paper is to a wall. The "seriz" is the talk of the town.

Fans have waited a lifetime for just such a meeting, and Idle moments are spent in trying to dope out the winner. Cheer Up! You Still Can Buy "Seriz" Ducats. Cheer up, mates. Some one got too enthusiastic! The Yankees announced last night that all boxes for world's series games two, four, six and eight, which will be controlled by the New York American League management, have been sold, but that there still are plenty of reserved seats left for bale. The Yanks' headquarters are at 226 West Forty-second street.

The Giants will be "at home" the first day, while the Yanks will' be "on the road." The Giants on opening day will be in charge of the game, while the. Yanks will be Considered as visitors. Hence the Jints will use the home club dugout the first day, but the Yanks will occupy it on the second day. Ruth Comes Within Ace of Poling Out Sixty Circuit Blows By MARSHALL A. HUNT.

There is' pleasure arid contentment in reaching an objective, and there is still greater 'pleasure and still more contentment when one reaches his objective and then passes it. Then he can slap his chest and say, "Well, I did it!" If any one is entitled to slap a barrel-like chest "and shout from the housetops, "Well, I did it!" that person is Babe fiuth, as versatile a cuss as ever chewed Battle Axe the outfield and sweated through a fielder's mitt home run champion, pitcher, first baseman, actor, author, basketball player and poker shark of the first water. Babe Ruth yesterday knocked out his fifty-ninth home run, current series, and aided the Yankees in defeating the Red Sox, 7 to 6, for two were on the paths when he connected with one of Ful-lerton's slants in the third inning. Early in the season Babe, who received more publicity than President Wilson ever did, and is known from the mining camps of Alaska to the hills of Cuba, set as his primary objective fifty-five home runs. That number would break his record of 54, which he made in 1920 after he had been sold to the New York club by President Harry Frazee of the Red Sox.

Babe made his fifty-fifth home run and then set a new objective. He believed that he would be able to make sixty, and he came within an ace of doing it! Babe was in a batting slump a few days back, but it didn't last long, and Yankee fan3 will place more faith in their favorites when they know that on the eve of the world's series the great Bambino is still in condition to drop one beyond the outfielders. Babe Ruth has invaluable to the Y'ankees this season. It was reported that he was purchased for $137,500. Col.

Ruppert and Col. Huston, owners of the Yankees, gambled on the slugging one. He proved to be a winning 10 to 1 shot. Babe this season scored, 178 runs and the consensus is that he either will add more fame to the Ruth Household in the coming baseball classirror he will prove to be as bad a flivver as ever entered a world's series. But there is another year coming.

59! Ruth Gets One More On Closing Dav. BABE RUTH closed his regular playing season yesterday in a blaze of glory when he poled out his fifty-ninth home run, setting a new record for league circuit swatting. He is shown in this picture tramping back to home plate after scoring two others in the third inning of the Yankee-Red Sox game. -SWS jliotul Results of World's Since 1884. Series Tar.

If he would sperxi his time poring over batting, fielding and pitching records, let him "tiger." He may hit the winner.

Ir- weighing the chances of'the two teams one may spend all evening studying the averages of the tvv oclub's outfields. You may ftrr'' the percentages of Kuth, Irish Meusel George Iturns and Meusel of the Yanks against those of Burns, Young and lJeusel of the Giants and then just pick out your, favorite group of Otiielders. But cold dope gives the statistical edge of the comparison to the Giant outfielders as far as tiielding Li Concerned. "rt.e.-Hfces which are compiled from all games played this season show that the Giants' three outfielders have the lead over their rivals. Kuth Has .970.

Young, Giant rightfielder, has a fielding average of Yankee Meusel's percentage, is j31. In the centerfield Burns has jHO and Miller's percentage is .974. Euth's percentage is .970 and of Iribh Meusel is Figures are not elastic enough ta cover tempernient, thinking ability and nerves. A player'a BTeraee through the season may commendable, but, under the uer Miller I'ep loung tress of a world's series, in which is conscious that he must "do he may "die" tubL Kuth is more than Wl" RC show. He is a hx-lp the he'-ause he is what he is champion home run hitter of the ,.,.11 .,.,.1 -a ers his beat nicely.

He has a good whip arm. The Giants' star outfielder, however, is George Burns, who has caught as many flies in left and center fields at the Polo Grounds as the best grade of stuckum paper would snare in a week in a greasy vest on the Bowery. Burns excels in pulling them out of where they are, and he is a peppery sort of an individual on the bases. Comparison of the two outfields' abilities could be carried out as long as a Canarsie eel, but fans who have watched the two groups in action best know what qualities they admire in each of the gard-ners. The aggregate average of the Yankee outfielders' fielding is .950.

That of the Giant outfielders is .964. Will the 45 point difference make a of a lot of difference ia the world's series? In batting the Yankee outfielders have it on their rivals. The aggregate percentage of the Hugmen is .332, while that of the Giants is .324. It's little use trying to compare any of the other fielders with Kuth when it comes to batting, but Young, Burns and Mensel don't have their hands tied when they step to the plate.
