Giants Hopeful That Babe Ruth Will Be Back In Game. BY JACK VE10CK. Istenutisaal Newa Service Sporting Editor. EW YORK, Oct. 8.

bench while his mates warmed up in For its our a-m to whip the anks ra.tt in tg practice before the storm, play oped this far along the way. Frank Frisch, the Fordbam flash, was rather No. 1 without a dissenting vote. Hts speed and dash, plus a batting average of .700. have lifted him Into the highest general esteem any world series player has ever known at this early turn.

In the three games he has reached first no fewer than 11 times, and seven of these rides were made upon his own base hits. His grace and dash around the bases as well as around third have only added to his renown. Seme one will have, to arise at dawn and travel swiftly to remove, his crown or oust him from the throne room which he now holds. Waite Hoyt remains one of the main Yankee heroes, but for a three-day stand the hulk of the laurel goes to Second Baseman Aaron Ward, who takes a bow with 25 accepted chances without an error, and a robust batting average of .364. This combination upon attack and defense Is something to cheer over, and if Frisch slips, and Ward keeps going, there may be a shift in scepters at the last moment.

Peck at short has outfielded Bancroft by a distinct margin, but neither has figured to any extent upon attack. Peck's infield play has been one of the high spots of the giddy whirl, but as the two shortstops together, have amassed only two hits, they need big improvement with the wooden mace to reach their proper places in the final ranking. The Yanks still outrange the Giants by a number of furlongs upon defense, but as a result of Friday's roaring thunder the Giants are 66 points- ahead at bat, with 13 runs against 11. Through Ruth and McNally the Yank3 Still lead In stolen bases by the advantage of a single theft, but one of those slides by Ruth may cost him heavily in the end, as well as on the elbow. No one can say for certain at Just what point he will dash back into the plot, but unless they chain him down, he wilt he there before the curtain falls.

Among those anxious for the series to get under way again is Kelly, of the Giants, who is imbued with a yearning desire- to promulgate- his first base hit. It Jjas been a tough series on the sluggers, but Kellys fate has been the roughest of the lot. It may be Interesting to note that rival pitchers have fanned Ruth and Kelly, home run kings, far more than anyone else on the field. Each has paddled the golden October air four times, while no one else has funned more than twice. The penalty Is far from light for the cove who Is expected to hoist the ball over the distant wall every time he lifts A bat They both draw the best stuff each pitcher has to offer, and this doesn't help them on the way.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. A raw. pitiless, October rain, with a bop to its fast one, overpowered Giants, Yankees and 31,000 spectators today, bringing thee fourth game of New York's world series to an abrupt halt before a blow was struck. As a result of the downpour those holding tickets for Saturday's game will sit in the seats of the mighty on Sunday, as Carl Mays and Shuffling Phil Douglas stand face to face in their second strong arm test.

The water-soaked postponement, while depressing the multitude at large, works in favor of the Yankees, as it gives Mays and Hoyt an extra day of rest and also permits the swollen territory around Babe Ruths right elbow to subside a few feet before he starts again. The Babe had a hunk taken out of the elbow after Friday's game, but the divot has been replaced, and there seems to be no chance of the old wing exploding in a crucial moment. As the rainfall increased just before 2 oclock George Christian, secretary to President Harding, asked Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis what he intended to do about impeaching the weather man, and the judge promised, if it happens again, have him tossed to the lions. Foiled at the game, Mr. Christian then honked an advance date at golf wherein Mr.

Ring W. Lardner and your humble correspondent are to joust again in the sand-filled troughs against President Harding and Irvin S. Cobb. The bout Is to come off just before the disarmament conference which may at least bring about the abolition of the ribbed mashie. It's Raining Daffodils.

As John J. McGraw came in and announced that the game was off, over 30.000 infuriated spectators went about poking into dark corners for author of these encouraging lines: "It isnt raining rain to me. it's raining daffodils. In every dimpled drop I see, wild flowers on the hills; the clouds of gray engulf the day, and hide the leaves of brown; it isn't raining rain to me, it's raining roses down. When shown this lyrical expression from the pen of a light-hearted bard, Manager Miller Huggins scowled moodily for a few moments and then hurriedly dashed off the following upon the hack of a water soaked card: "It isnt raining rain to me, Its raining rest for Mays, Jn every dimpled drop I see, The 'Babe' in future plays.

The clouds above have got my love And that's the simple truth. It isn't raining rain to me. It's raining rest for Ruth." As the Yankees hope to start one of their big gun offensives at any moment. they were glad enough' to Ruth, given an extra day In which to scrape the rust from one of his main binges and so get back into action. The Bambino is now about due for one of his mighty blows, and to have him out ef the battle order would be a ha Now to American League hopes.

As Huggins seems to have onyl two winning pitchers in Mays and Hoyt, that extra day will mean more than a mere trine, for each will now enjoy a complete three-day gap in whicn to obtain a running start with the best he has to show. McGraw. with four bandy pitchers around, neede no such dispensation from from an overhead providence, but in spite of all tbiS the Giant managei; coldly admitted that having broken through, he believed now that his ball club will be on its way to the winner's end of the biggest financial split in the history of the game. $7,500. Each To The Winners.

The prospects are that 175,000 fans will pay $575,000 to see the first five games in which the players reap their gulden harvest. For the first five games worlds series players get 75 per cent of 54 per cent of the total taken in, which will amount to $233,000, the tame to be split 60-40. This leaves something like $7,000 each for the winners and a paltry $4,600 each to those snarled in the whirlpool of defeat. With Mays facing Douglas in the fourth encounter, there are keen indications thst another pitchers battle will result, but quite so rabid a test as their first meeting. The Giants figure to hit Mays baffling underhand delivery with trifle more abandon, hut If the Ozark star is right, they will hardly reach him for any surplus of tallies.

The welcome rest leaves Big Carl on edge, and this means that Shuffling Phil will need one of his top afternoons to recover damages for what took place on opening day. These two on form slu.uld turn out a corking contest, with both chibs now keyed to an extreme notch. In the same way the two rival factions have now become definitely wedged apart, with the old family feeling of brotherly love tossed out of the window for the duration of the war. All of which has pumped a flow of spice into the program, and if the Big Babe only gets the hinge in condition, everything will be back to Its pristine pi 1. It Beems that the Babe reopened an old wound In his daring slides to second and third.

But when you put 218 pounds upon-a tender sector of the system and roil it along the dirt, the chances are always fairly good that something of an untoward, unseemly nature will take place without any great delay.

The surprising feature of the series so far has been the flawless play of the Yanks in the field. Three games without an error that's wonderful. But the Y'anks are only human.

They'll have to do some hobbling before this series is over. And who knows but what they'll do it in the next few games ih such a measure as to offset the brilliant work in the first three games. If they do, that'll constitute breaks for us. YVe haven't had any so far, I guess we're about due and when we get them we're going to travel right along with that luck to victory.

The overwhelming victory of Friday has heartened every one of us in a wonderful way. It has filled the boys full of pep and confidence and made them believe stronger than ever that we'll win this series and without very much trouble. Those Yanks are game birds and they are fighters.

Mr. Chill was talking about the fourth game of the worlds series scheduled for this afternoon. yhe bleachers were packed and the stands were filled, especially the upper tier, when the rain came on. Some of the bleaeherites had been sitting there since 10 o'clock in the morning.

You thrifty- man Spring Hill Threatens In First; Tigers Run Riot In Last Stages. BY THOMAS HALL. MONTGOMERY. Oct. 8 Special.

The Auburn Tiger awed heavy here this after-1 noon by defeating the lighter but fast Spring Hill college eleven, the Tigers winring 48 to 0. The Tigers out- weighed the Hillians from Mobile, but I the Dueote team fought hard, and when the game closed, the Mobilians were still fighting. The Tiger met a real fighter in the first quarter, and for a few moments it- appeared as though Spring Hil. was due fora touchdown, but the Tiger line held like a stone wall, and after this, the Hilllans never threatened to score. In the opening quarter after a series of line plays.

Spring Hill was forced to kick. Moulton sent a beautiful punt to Scott, who fumbled the ball, and was recovered by Winling on Auburn's seven-yard line. A smasli at the line by Win. ing netted two arils, and two more line bucks were tried, but were in vain. A short forward pass was attempted by Moulton to Wlnttng, but it was incomplete when Caton smashed the hall.

Just as it was getting ready to fall into Winling's waiting hands. The ball was given to Auburn on her own 20-yard line and then Gibson, Shirling and Scott started march down the field. Then Scott, the former Bessemer High School star, broke away for a 45-yani run and the first touchdown of the game. Three more were added in the second quarter by Shirling, Shirey and Scott. In the third quarter Coach Donahue sent in a number of his second string players, and by off tackle and.ine bucks, Howe went over for a touchdown.

In the fourth quarter the varsity players returned and Auburn scored two more touchdowns. Mike Donahue has a real field general In Gibson at quarterback, the Tiger general directing the teams play i in almost perfect style. This is Gib-, son's first year, and, if his work to- day is an indication what he is going) to do this Fall, he will be heard from i In Southern football. YVinling and Waist stood out as the stars tor the losers, especta'ly the work of Win- ling. This Hillian made half of the tackles made by his team and worried the Tigers considerably, and on two occasions intercepted attempted forward passes, but failed to make a gain on account of poor interference.

C'Snch Dawson's Tuscaloosa High tiam tore through the Bibb County aggregation from Centerville here Saturday to the score of 35 to bettering the score of the Bessemer Tigers by 16 points. Although the first period was scoreless, a fumble being costly to the locals, two touchdowns camo over in the second, tne in the third and two in the fourth quarters. Finding that straight footha.ll was rot gaining well In the first period, the Tusea oosa quarter shifted his tactics, anil using a flashy, open style of play and ran over two touchdowns on spread formations and wide end runs. In the last half, the Choctaws were unable to stop the efficient interference of the Tuscaloosa backs, and long gains resulted from straight football. Coach Creel shot In numerous subs in an attempt to stop the onslaught, but they availed little.

For Tuscaloosa. Johnson and Upchurch ran wild, tearing off gain after gain, in the line Tiilinore and Jordon stood out, though every man played splendidly, ns only one first down was registered for the visitors.

Sloun as right guard for the Volunteers, was a bulwark of strength, while Nicholson at end and Clemons at full worked well in the oog formation, and the team was invincible, although, the fellows from down state gave a good account of themselves, and scored one telling point, when, at the end of the fray.

Harvard Romps On Indiana Hoosiers CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 8 Harvard romped around the veteran University of Indiana team here today, in their first gridiron lattle, defeating the Hoosiers by a score of 19 to P. The last half of the battle was staged in a terrific rain and wind storm, during which the temperature dropped more than five degrees in as many minutes. The Crimson took the lead with the first kick off ami maintained It, the Westerners never seriously threatening.

Indiana depended upon straight line plunging tactics for the most part, but her thrusts were not strong enough to penetrate the Crimson lino. Crimson Tide Uses Long Passes And End Runs In Winning, 55 To 0. BY BEN GREEN. UNIVERSITY. Oct.

81'' game featured by many long for-rard passes and numerous end runs which kept the large crowd in an uproar during the last three-quarters, the Alabama Crimsons conquered the Marlon eleven 55 to 0. The contest contained thrill after thrill, being one of the most open and spectacular affairs ever witnessed on Penny Field. (Running SO yards through the jntlre Marion team Kosenfeld, aided by good interference, dashed for a touchdown in the longest single gain for the day. At another time this battering ram carried the oval 30 yards for a goal, while a criss-cross play sent him the same distance for another. His other tally was scored from the' two yard line.

Ills work was a feature of a contest which was a feature within Itself. With three downs in which to make a touchdown from the three-yard line the Crimsons were held twice in the first period. The work of the cadets on the defense In the opening stanza was such as is rarely seen from such a small Institution. Turner, who pUved a marvelous game at half for the visiters, played a very iinpoitant part a-so on the defensive. Unvanquished by their reverses In the first setto the Crimsons started off at fine clip led by "Ala'1 Clemens.

He oaught a pass from Kosenfeld for a I'U-yard gain, taking the oval to the Ihit-e-yard mark. Here It again looked like a setback for the Tide, three plunges falling to make the distance. Kosenfeld found a hole through the center for the required gain on the last down and the first tally of the game. Bartlett intercepted a pass for a 10-- yard gain to start another onrush and after several plas Rosenfeld led on mm 30 pace center for another marker. Blackwood kicked the first goal of seven straight for the afternoon.

After several switches Hawkins and Kosenfeld carried the ball 'down to the 12-yard line, from which Hawkins went ovr on criss-cross play. Just before the end of the half Alabama was forced to punt for the first and last time in the game with Burkhardt tackling the man in his "tracks. A steady march down the field to the 45-yard mark placed the Crimsons in a dangerous position and Clemens snatched a pass from Kosenfeld for the fourth touchdown. Without wasting any time the Scottsmen uncovered an-. other 30-yard pass with Burkhard on the receiving end after Marion had kicked off.

Line plunges and tackle plays took the pigskin to the five-yard line and Beatty smashed over for his first touchdown. I Turner, brilliant half for the cadets, almost got loose on Alabamas kickoff and it was only when Blackwood dashad him to the earth after a 35-ard run' 1 that the 2,000 Crimson advocates arose from their lethargy. Hefty Jim was the only man in a position to catch the fl ing cadet and keep the goal Inviolate for the first time this Reason. i Marion kicked after being held and on the next play, Rosie" reeled off his I 80-yard line run to the goal line. Little got loose for 30s yards soon after and 1, with this start, line plays brought the 'Crimsons to the five-yard line.

Batty again crossed the line for a touchdown. I In the last quarter another fright was iti store for the' Crimsons. Goudge got If a pass 'from Samuels and -ran yards 8 Before he was tackled. Whitaker soon recovered a pass and converted it into a 15-yard gain and Bartlett and Beatty each made iong gains. Kosenfeld made i 30 yards around right end for the clos- Ing count of the game.

To make it a perfect day Blackwood easily hoisted the oval over the crossbar. I Crimsons Wake Up. It was not until the second quarter that the locals got into fray in the manner In which they are capable. The line began to put up Its usual strong front. Cooper and Compton played good ball at tackles, while "Rat" Page fea-S tured with his scrappy playing.

'Toco" Little, the "Pepper Pot" of the eleven. aided "Chief" Clemens in the peppering and played a great game all around. Clemens and Buikhanl showed great form at cni.

diown ing the role of a spiked Big Bertha. Ruth may disregard hit physician's orders and get back Into the line-up tomorrow. And he may not play another game during the series. But the postponement gave him time, and time Is precious in his case. If Ruth does not return to the line-up, Fewster will be placed in left field in hit place.

The Yankee batting order will also be changed. Fewster will hit ahead of the pitcher and Wallle Schang will be moved up to Ruth's place in "Murderer's Row. This was announced by Manager Huggins tonight. The psychological effect of Ruths presence or absence from the Yankee line-up Is interesting everybody. Without Ruth in the Yank batting array the Giant pitchers will feel more secure and Giant money will bloom forth' among the betting fraternity if McGrows men succeed in tying the series.

Yet the big Babe doesnt figure it quite this way. He said tonight: "Don't know whether or not I'll get back. I will if there's a ghost of a chance. I'm hungry for hits and I want to see more Giant pitching. But if my arm doesn't get better and I am forced to stay out of the line-up, I don't think my absence will make any difference in the final In fact, I believe that the Y'ankees will fight all the harder." There you are.

Take it or leave it. With two games in the safe and Mays and Hoyt ready to come back at the Giants in the next two, the Yanks "hail something worthwhile in the bank." wondering tonight off-day wou have on McG raw's men for the first time in They hammered the But a day off often batting eyes, especially to pitching such should have in the next they keep It up?

Who can tell? He may, or has a chance to become the hero of the series, thanks to the Ruthian boil.

Such things happen. Late today after the skies had wept to full content, the drab hanks of clouds sailed away into the North Atlantic, auguring hotter weather tomorrow. The forecaster predicted a fair Sunday and if he does not make an error the fourth game will be a thing of history by another sundown. M. CCHOCTAWS SWAMP LA.

Both clubs engaged in fielding and batting praet'ce and meantime the holders of the reserved seats in the grand stand and the boxes began appearing. McGraws pitching selection became apparent when big Shufflin' "Fhll Douglas, the spithalier, shambled out done-up in his huge brown sweater, taking part In the hatting practice.

Huggins intended starting either Curl Mujs. who beat Douglas in the opener, or Harper, his only left-hander. Harper pitched good hall for the Y'anks during the closing days of the season, though he was of little use earlier in the season. Huggins could better afford to gamble with a pitcher thun McGraw. If the Yanks lose the next game with Harper pitching they are no worse off than when the series started.

If they should win, Huggins then has his liest pitching stars. Mays ami Hoyt, in reserve, which would perhaps give him clear sailing the rest of the Journey. clock the drizzle began, grail- tially increasing to a regular downpour. The price comes when you go down up Any man with a true sense of thrift has got sense enough to see that a modestly equipped, economically operated upstairs store can offer better values than the expense-burdened ground-floor stores can offer. And when he learns that this elevated clothing store carries a complete variety of the best and smartest, clothes that are made, nothing a womans tears could keep him from coming, up here.

The ball players sought refuge In their dugouts and spent their time looking out at the rain and chattering. They were not at all sorry when the postponement came, as the pastimers like clear, warm weather and a dry field as well as the fans. Incidentally, this is one of the gomes in which the players participate as Hamilton, profit-sharers, and had it been played Keith, f. today under the adverse weather conditions the receipts would have been curtailed.

He can work frequently. Hoyt needs more rest. Those are the only pitchers Huggins can rely on now, with Harp. still purely a speculation. Huggins could not do other than he did Friday In leaving Rhawkey in tlic box.

He was perhaps hoping that Boh might get by to the sixth or seventh with no worse than a tied score, then Hug could drop Mays in. By installing Mays when Shaw key fell into wild ways in the third inning would have been wasting Iris ace. Shaw key had plenty of "stuff as much "stuff" ns he ever had In his life hut no control.
