Twice in two days, Casey Stengel, whose hair is whitening apace with the fading suppleness of his underpinning, the Yankees into defeat with a home run this afternoon.

It all happened a I predicted! and I have lost th friendship of Colonel Hupert, and he went around last Bight denying that we meat to Vale together. thought I said "Jail." When Kelly tried to complete a double play on Dugan at first th ball knocked off the umps' hat. It was one of the hats that was given to Ruth for making a homer In the second game, and It got a lot of mileage aa It was kicked around In th dirt.

It was a fast gam up until the time Wallle Pipp got hurtnn hi bum ankle. The reason was there were few hits, a lot of donbla plays and that Judge Land! had to hurry to his hotel for dluner. It was at last revealed that McOraw wouldn't pitch Nehf In th first game of the scries but that he would pitch him the third. This was confided to the writer after th third game wa closed like an oyster's eye. I nova advised Donnle Bush, mnnager of the Washington club, to hire Stengel as he is a train in himself.

New York, Oct. 12. Ths Ulffer-ence between the pitching of Ham Jones and Arthur Kent In the third game, and let mo say they buth did masterful Jobs, was the home run of Casey Stengel. But for that they might have gone on and on fur levers! Innings. In all my baseball Ufa I don't remember aver having a man with mora cool courage and determination at the bat than Casey Btengel.

As ths term Is used In ths sporting game, Casey Btengpl a superb money player. Nomina; upsets him. Ha Is always at his best in a critical moment. Think of It, a ball player getting along pretty, well in years, as ball players go, winning two ganvs In a world series by homo runs. Just when a homer and nothing else was needed.

While on the subject of pitching I want to make It clear that Arthur Nehf did not purposely pass Habe Kuth on either of his two walks to (list. On the last one 1 was particularly anxious that Nehf get the ball over and told him o. Frankly, I was very much afraid of a base on balls. It was the eighth Inning, If you will remember, with Witt on first and two out. Above everything I wanted Huth to have a cruck at the ball.

I considered the coming up Of llob Meusel much more dangerous. With a man on second, Meusel, a right handed hitter, had more chances of driving In the run than did Ruth, a left banded swinger, with a man on first. Nehf was In the hole, had three balls on the batter, naturally, he would not lay a ball In the groove. That would hae been stupid. The only thing to do was try to put a curvs ovei.

George Herman Ituth, the busting bumbino, who won the second game of tho current world's series for the New York Yankees, was held In check today by the puaillng pitching of Arthur Nehf, Giant southpaw, in the two opportunities he had to hit. Ituth went to tho plate four times, but was credited with only two "times at bat," as he walkod on the other occasions.

He got one hit, a single In tho (lrst, that gave him an average of .600 for the day. He struck out on his other trip. His batting record for the day: First Inning Two down. After taking two balls Hum swung twice and missed, but he connected with the fifth ball and drove It to ccntr for a single. He died on first as Meusel filed out.

Fourth Inning Ptigan, first man up. doubled to right and Kuth walked on four wide pitches, both died when Meusel hit into double play. Sixth Inning Two down. Ruth watched a bull float by and then and mlssad. Nehf's third was a ball but the fourth Habe nicked for a foul.

After watchVig a third ball sail by, Ruth overlooked what Umpire Nallln called a strike. Thinking It was a ball, he started to jog down to first and then turned, took oft his cap, and scratched his head, but said nothing. Kigtuh Inning Hoffmann failed in pinch hitting for Jones. Witt singled, but was trapped at second on a Holder's choice. With luran on flrM, Ruth was walked against his will.
