VINCENT TOWNSEND AND GEORGE REYNOLDS, ASSISTANTS, PENNOCK STOPS GIANT RALLY IN THE EIGHTH Tuggins' Combine Score Six Runs In Fatal Second Inning.

International News Service Sports Editor, BY DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK. Oct. three days of melodrama of school, the old 10 20 30 element of sprightly world's comewas introduced into the caries Saturday afternoon when the Tankees broke out in a pourri of Dave hits and gained an eight four young decision men over of the both clubs obliged with Giants.

The earnest hits, no less divided equally at 12 tach, while seven pitchers passed in review. It was quite an afternoon. The Yanks' victory evened the series at 10-all. crowd of some 40,000 watched the proceedings and became quite hilarious the second inning when the YanHess found the range of Giant pitching and with an immodest display of free witting, scored six times, the side batting around. The merry villagers also roused themselves in the eighth, when the Giants suddenly climbed aboard Bob Shawkey, who was pleased to become careless behind an eight run lead.

The McGraw entry already had three runs over the plate, and the bases were filled when Shawkey departed by request and Pennock loomed in the offThe latter was faced by Frisch, one of the real danger signals of the Giant ensemble, and the count was worked to 3 and 2, with two out, before Frisch expired on an anemicaly to Boott. The situation in question, was the miy big moment of an otherwise colorgame, except for the matter of the tans Tanks second inning. It started hollowly enough when Young beat out a hit to Dugan and became slightly more compromising when Meusel's smash took AR eccentric hop over Scott's head for another hit. Stengel singled to right, poored one, and our Mr. Ruth's fivethumbed fumble advanced the runners a base each.

Meusel drifted over while Ward was tossing out Kelly, and Stencel followed on Snyder's demise, Scott to Pipp. At this juncture Shawkey smote O'- Connell, a pinch hitter, with a pitched ball, and Bancroft singled to right. Groh then walked on four straight balls, and Shawkey walked to the bench at Miller Huggins' urgent solicitation. It was now strictly up to Pennock and Frisch, and it is matter of history that the Yankees scored a left -handed decision. Prior to this inning, the Giant offense was quite inoffensive against Shawkey.

He came from Mississippi college, and his exploits upon the gridiron rained him all-Southern did not recogni- do ton, despite the fact he battle under the colors of a major eleven. Goat Hale is gone from the camp the Mississippi Choctaws, but in name has taken his place, and his speed and only. A brilliant young field general all-round play at Rickweod field Saturday afternoon reminded Magic City grid fans, to some extent, of flashy Hale who once fought in the ranks of the Choctaws. Parks is his name, but he belies it.

Certainly he does not park in the same place long. As a result of his brilliant work, aided by a well-coached combination of forwards and backs, the Choctaws of Mississippi college gained decisive victory over Charlie Brown's Panthers of 19 0. Two touchdowns and two field goals cave the verdiet to the visiting eleven from Mississippi. The Panthers. at intervals, worked in excellent fashion, intervals, fought a8 they really can fight.

But those intervals were not too numerous: Coordination of team play seemed lacking. The fighting spirit that carried them to really great heights last Saturday against the Auburn Tigers was most conspicuous by its absence. Something was wrong within the ranks of the Panther machine Saturday afternoon at Rickwood field. But the Choctaws brought a fine football machine to the Magic City, and easily deserved the victory from every standpoint. After an exchange of punts, to start the struggle, Parks raced Miller's long spiral back 23 yards and then followed three first touchdowns in succession, placing the ball on the 12-yard line, Here this Mr.

Parks turned the Panthers' left end for the initial counter. The Panthers braced and started an offensive in the second quarer which began to look like a Panther score, two forward passes sandwiched in between their running 3 attack giving them two first downs. Then they fumbled. blocked punt toward the close of the second period, after BirminghamSouthern had made an excellent stand under the shadow of their goal posts, paved the way for the second score of PLOP!

Twenty-six players are eligible to a pool of and, if it is evenly divided.

The total players pool was $362,783 but 25 per cent of this is divided between the second and third teams in the two leagues.

Fifteen per cent, or about $54,417 is to be divided between Detroit and Cincinnati. 10 per cent of $36,278 will be split by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh players. With the series standing two and two Saturday night, and at least two more games and probably three needed to decide the issue, it looked as though 1 more than $1,250,000 would be taken in on the series. However, the "gravy" for the rest of the world series goes to the club owners largely, and no doubt the populace not begrudge them, for the baseball games they have given New York to date in the series have been worth the money. recovered, giving them the ball on their own 45-yard line.

BY RING LARDNER.

of OLO the GROUNDS. that a New large York, majority Oct. baseball writers was disappointed on account of it not raining and giving us a chance to go to the ArmyNotre Dame battle, the Yankees tried to roll up a real football score in Saturday's game but had to be satisfied with two field goals and safety. The varsity was too heavy for Coach McGraw's team and the wizard mentor of the Red and Blue had to make frequent substitutions. This is one theory.

Another is that Saturday is the day when everybody on Mr. McGraw's team takes a bath and Mae begun sending them to the club house early to relieve congestion. The other day every body was asking somebody why did not Mr. McGraw pitch Nehf? After this game nobody can ask why he don't. He has pitched them all, and when he was through the box score looked like the Republican majority in 1920.

Some people thought they was a player limit in the National League but they must of postponed it. Or maybe some of them aint considered players. If all them gets in on the world serious cut each Giant will receive $27.50 win, lose or draw. Scott Fight Fan. Jack Scott is said to be a fight fan and great admirer of Luis Firpo and Homer Smith.

He lasted just as long as his two heroes. Rosy Ryan took the count after two or three blows and may be an admirer of Joe Beckett. Messrs. Scott, Bancroft and Snyder seemed to think that Umpire Hart was a good deal to blame for Mr. Scott's troubles, but it is worthy of note that when it come time for Manager McGraw to take some body out, it was the pitcher and not the umpire that was took out.

Even Bob Meusel, who had apparently been missing from the Yankee lineup since the opening day, had a prominent share in this murder. It his punch that caused ouster proceeding against Mr. Ryan.

Butler County Is Victorious Friday Over Camden High Marion County Whips Winfield County 34-0 REENVILLE, Oct. Greenville eleven Walter covered Hovater's itself with glory Friday by defeating the fast Camden High School eleven in a thrilling game on the local gridiron by a score of 16 to 0.

The game was featured by beautifully executed forward passes, sweeping end runs and line plunges by both elevens. In the first quarter, Stabler returned a kick off for 40 yards which. broke down the morale of the visitors, Butler County scoring at will through the remainder of the game. Miller. Hale and Capell were the bright lights for the visitors, Miller breaking loose on one occasion for 40 sprint terminating in the shadow of local goal.

Wesley, Stabler, Helms and Smythe, were the outstanding stars for Butler County, Wesley and Stabler scoring both touchdowns and Stabler kicking goals. Smythe fell on the ball back of the visitor's goal in the final period for a touchback and the other two points. The number game of was Greenville witnessed by a large supporters. GUIN, Oct.

estures in the seventh inning, but nothing came of it, thanks to Jumping Joe Dugan. Bentley, other pinch hitter, got a gratuitous single to open the inning when Bob Meusel strolled casually after Jack's loping fly. Bancroft followed with a line drive toward left, but Jumping Joe skipped bithely forth, speared the drive with his gloved turned a quickly, and threw to Pipp, doubling Maguire, who was running for Bentley. Exit one rally. Of course, no world series of the present issue is complete without a home run and Ross Young, first Giant hitter in the ninth inning, attended to this formality by socking one of Pennock's hopeful offerings to deep right center and defeating the throw to the plate with yards to spare.

This was Young's fourth hit of the game. It came more or less as an anti-climax, in view of the fact that the Yankees had won the game almost beyond recall in the first four innings, Graw fell upon John Scott, pitching ace of the 1922 series, as the logical man to make the Yank hitters look foolish Saturday afternoon. He thought better of it in the middle of that comic opera second inning after Pipp, Ward and E. Scott had dallied with McGraw's sefor three ringing singles and the lection himself had gummed up his pitcher own parade by fumbling Schang's attempt to sacrifice. This faux pas and Scott's single emptied two.

Meusel's hit rushed quite Ryan right off the premises and brought McQuillan. latter just about on got by, no more, less, the Yanks getting to him for runs in the third and fourth and taking many liberties with whatever he had to offer. Just as a matter of record. McGraw used seventeen men in a commendable effort to frustrate the Yank offensive. might be also mentioned that Saturday's game continued the exchange of courtesies which has prevailed since the series began.

The Giants have gained two victories, both won at the Yank Stadium. The Yanks also have two games, both at the Polo Grounds. If the series continues at this rate, they will play the deciding game in Hoboken and let courtesy do its worst. COLLEGE PANTHERS, 19-0 General Of Choctaws, Of Battle. the Mississippians, 8.

placement kick by Parks. The two elevens battled on even terms in the period, the Panthers making another great fight within the 10-yard line to stave off a touchdown. They blocked an attempted placement boot, but this guy Parks recovered, and soon after sent Lambright back to boot another field goal. Panthers' Great Drive The Panther, with defeat. staring them in the face in the tourth quarter, broke away for their greatest drive of the game, a sustained offensive down the field for 55 yards, making three first downs.

Two passes, Miller to Williams for 30 yards, and Miller to Hoss Gandy for 15, helped materially, But Sweeney intercepted another attempt to forward pass, and a badly handled punt was recovered by Berry on the Panthers' 5-yard line. Here Long ploughed over for the final counter of the afternoon. Besides the flashy work of Parks, the entire Choctaw backfield displayed excellent form. Lambright and Long are two fine line plungers, doing most of the smashing against the Panther forward wall. Parks' running attack, chiefly on end runs, as well as his forward pass attack, with an occasional punt, earned him the title of a second Goat Hale, although he was unable to plough a line with the power of his brilliant predecessor.

He is probably just as speedy as the great Hale, and seems to be a diamond in the rough. The Choctaw line charged well, opening up holes in fine style on the offense, and the Panther backs found a stone wall there in their attempt to pierce it. Only in the aerial game were the Panthers able to display offensive strength, but here shone brilliantly at times, with accurate Miller tossing them. This Miller is a wonder in this line. His also stood out prominently in Saturday's struggle.

Miller. ran th team This lad 18 to the Panther offense what Hoss Gandy is to their defense. Loren Williams, Panther back, found himself Saturday, and worked in great fashion during the entire battle. He destined to shine before the season closes. Hoss Gandy and Hoyt Levie, played great game in the defensive making a big portion of the Panther tackles.

Captain Gandy got out of bed to play, and only his fighting spirit kept him in the struggle. But the Panthers are capable of better football than they displayed against Mississippi College. And it won't be a decade before things begin to pick up in the gridiron camp on Sunshine Slope. DETAIL OF PLAY. First Quarter, Parks returned Captain Hoss Gandy's kick-off 20 yards, and the Choctaws made first down on three line bucks.

Birmingham-Southern held and Lambright punted 40 yards to 'Miller. When Mississippi's line held, Miller punted 40 yards to Parks, who -stepped up the left side of the field for a 23-yard return. The Choctaws made three first downs in succession, chiefly on line bucks, with Long, Lambright and Parks carrying the ball. This placed the ball on 12-yard line. After one line plunge netted two yards.

Parks circled his right end for 10 yards and touchdown. Parks failed to kick goal in the try-'or-point after touchdownd. Score, Mississippi 6, Panthers 0. Miller returned the -off 10 yards, and immediately tossed a forward pass to Hoss Gandy, gaining 5 yards. The Panthers received a penalty, giving them first down.

It was their initial first down of the game. Farr fumbled on a line plunge, and the Choctaws recovered, giving them the ball on the 50- yard line 1.8 the quarter ended. Score, Mississippi 6, Panthers 0. Second Quarter, The Panthers held and Lambright punted 40 yards to Miller fer no turn. Miller then booted 55 yards, without a return.

Lambright punted 50 yards out of bounds, A pass. Miller to Williams, netted 8 yards, and Miller then circled right end for 3 yards and first down. A forward pass, Miller to B. Gandy, added 9 yards, and Miller got two off tackle for first down. Red Farr fumbled, and the Choctaws view Sam Jones, who couid of win in a walk the day before on less than half that money.

"What do you thing of the way the Yankees are hitting today, Mr. Jones?" was the query put to Mr. Jones. Casey On Deck. He was not on the bench.

Casey Stengel came up in the fourth inning with nobody on and he seemed to swing clear around on the first ball. Umpire Hart called it a strike but did not raise his right hand. When the Giants learned The had called it a strike. they asked everybody but Judge -S if Casey had really swung at and was convinced he had. Casey did not swing at the next four was awarded his second base on balls where at the crowd give three rousing boos for Pitcher Shawkey.

The crowd did this on the remarketable theory that Shawkey was passing Casey on purpose because he was afraid to let him hit. Leave me assure you loving readers that when a pitcher has got a lead of eight runs and there is less than eight men on bases. he dont pass no batter because he afraid to let him hit. With a lead like that, letting the first batter get to first base generally always starts more mysery than letting him hit one out of the park as was demonstrated in the Giants half of the eighth. In this inning Shawkey had more trouble.

than a reporter trying to get to a prize fight. Ross Young and Irish Meusel begun it with lucky bounders that went for hits and Bob had to call for help from a fellow gob to get the side out. Included in the cast that took part in this inning was Young Jimmy part in this inning was Young Jimmy O'Connel who the Giants bought from the Coast League for $100,000 and everybody sed what a lot of money. Now days when you mention that amt to anvbody connected with national pastime they look at you like a head waiter receiving a dime tip. Ross Young led, off again in the ninth and slammed Pennock for a homer in-side the grounds.

The next three batters didnt do nothing at all which proves my point. Well what of it? Kelly at first, Stengel going to third. Snyder fouled one. It was a long drive that fell into the upper tier of the left field bleachers, foul by about ten feet. Stengel scored while Snyder was thrown out at first.

O'Connell batted for Jonnard. O'Connell was hit by a pitched ball. Bancroft singled to right, O'Connell stopping at second. Groh walked, filling the bases. Shawkey was removed from the box, and Pennock went to the mound.

Jacksonville Normal School teachers ran rough shod over the Camp McClellan soldiers of Anniston here Friday afternoon, winning by a score of 45 to 0. Not one the melee was the teachers' danger, while the soleduring, diers were kept on the defensive throughout, Jacksonville scoring almost at will. Touchdowns were made by Moore 2, Powell 2 and Edison 2, and Hamilton. The railroad In the Belgian Kongo will be the first important one in tral Africa to be electrified. ANDALUSIA, Oct.

-After Darling, reserve guard, threw his bulk on the ball after blocking Squarles' punt on Troy's own five-yard line in the last few minutes of play, Capt. Jernigan who led the attack as general of the Andalusia team, snatched the ball from Spicer's hand to complete la fake play, and carried the ball over for a victory over the heavier Troy Normal school outfit here. Spicer failed to kick goal, but Troy was offside and the score was 7 to 9. Both teams played hard. Both lines worked beautifully, except for two petty squabbles when McLeod, for Troy and Stephens for Andalusia, were removed from the game.

Capt. Quarles, for Troy, quarterback, and Capt. Jernigan, quarter, for Andalusia, were the outstanding ground- gainers and stars of the game. BACON AMERICAN STAPLE. Bacon, which once went begging at 10 cents a pound, is now an almost indespensible part of the American breakfast: At five times the former price the supply hardly equals the demand.

This change is due to the improved quality of the bacon, the thin slicing by machine, and the fact that the public has learned that this meat is one of the most nourishing and appetizing foods.
