SIRENS REPORTS
ARE DISTINCTLY
BEARISH
Athens, ga., oct. is.—The
Georgia football men have
buckled down in the moat
deadly earnest to the task of get
ting ready for Vanderbilt and the
big game in Atlanta Saturday.
The game with Citadel Saturday,
though a walk-over for the Geor
gia teafii, revealed several defects
that must be remedied before the
Vanderbilt game.
The most Important of these Is a
lack of snap and dash that is so
essential to every winning team
Georgia was slow tn getting plays
under way. and the showing of the
team, while a great improvement
over that of the previous Saturday,
wins not sufficient to cause any
great amount of rejoicing among
the supporters and students
Georgia's defense has been and
still is the main trouble, and unless
there Is great Improvement shown
in this department by Saturday
there will be nothing to the con
test but Vanderbilt.
Cunningham will most likely get
busy this week and bolster up his
defense with some new formations.
Local supporters realize that to
stop the onslaughts of the Commo
dore back Held requires some won
derful defensive tactics, as the
prowess of Handage and Collins Is
by no means underestimated.
Hardage, naturally, is most fear
ed of all.
Georgia Needs Punter.
Another thing that is bothering
the coaches Is the absence of a
good, reliable punter who can be
depended upon to boot the ball out
of danger None of the varsity men
has shown anything noticeable in
the kicking line thus far, although
Cunningham has had several men
working at it since the beginning of
the season
The one redeeming feature of the
game Saturday was the splendid
tackling shown by the secondary
' defense. Up to the present time the
men have demonstrated little abil
ity to down the runner when once
by the line of scrimmage. and their
efforts along this particular line
have been exceedingly feeble.
Local supporters are looking for
ward with great Interest to the
back fteld duel betw’een McWhorter,
Georgia's best bet, and Hardage,

“Glass of Jelly Won Game for
Me,” Is Marquard’s Wild Claim
By Rube Marquard.
Boston, mass., oct. 15- a jar
of jelly won for me. That may
sound funny, but lt'» the truth
just the same. When I went down
to break fa st yesterday morning
there was a package watting for
me. It was from my 89-year-old
grandmother in Cleveland. 1 had
received a letter from her Sunday,
and she told me she mailed me a
jar of apple jelly.
1 couldn't open the package fast
enough
As soon as I ripped off the cover,
I stuck a spoon deep into the jar,
and as I swallowed that sweet
mouthful I said to myself, "Rube,
old boy, this jelly -will be your mas
cot today."
And it sure was.
Without that jelly I don’t be
lieve I would have won my game,
the game that has put us back In
the battle and has left a smooth
path to the world's championship.
Yes. the jelly won that game.
But I almost lost confidence in it
when for five innings I wasn’t able
to get a blooming thing on the bail
I tried my curve and It wouldn’t
curve.
I tried my fast ball and it
wouldn't hop.
The Rube Had To Work.
“1 must mix 'em up/’ I said to
myself, and for five innings I never
worked harder.
1 used the old think-tank, and
got away with it because I out
guessed the Boston batters
As 1 was sitting on the bench
during our turn at bat in the. last
of the fifth inning. 1 thought of that
jar of Jelly.
Oh. if 1 could have had another
spoonful of it. Was this token
from my grandmother going to
hoodoo me? J asked myself the
question over and over again.
As I went out to the box in the
sixth. 1 made up my mind that I
was going to get something on
that ball for my own sake, for my
team mates’ sake, for McGraw's
sake, but most of all for my grand
mother's sake.
And the jelly didn't fail me.
I could picture dear old grand
mother in the kitchen out in Cleve-

land. preparing the delicious mor
sel, and I knew that her every move
in making carried a wish of luck
for mi.
The first ball I pitched in the
sixth was a fast one. It was to
l.ewls, and he swung on it after it
had found its way into Chief Mey
ers' big mitt. Then it was a curve,
and It never broke better. The
third ball was another fast one.
and Lewis hit under it, raising a
foul that the chief clutched. Then
Gardner fanned on four pitched
balls, whUe I struck out the mighty
Stahl with three balls.
The Jelly "Delivers."
The jelly had mad® good in the
pinch.
From that inning 1 knew that
Boston would never get another
man acroes the plate.
I had everything In the world
No longer was 1 an ''sll,ooo lem
on." The fans—those that only
two years ago were urging, yea,
pleading with McGraw that I be
released, were with me.
They had forgotten the past, and
I forgave them.
But before 1 go any further 1
want to give the same credit to
my team mates that I did after I
won my first game. 1 only deserve
one-ninth of the praise.
Where would I have been had not
Snodgrass, the man who has been
so unjustly panned for his unfor
tunate showing in this series, made
that marvelous running catch of
Wagner's vicious welt in the fourth
inning?
And w hat if Fletcher and Doy le
and Meyers and llerxog and all the
other boys had not been with me?
It wasn't a one-man victory, and
1 don't claim one whit more than
Is coming to me.
Msrquard's Arm Was Bad.
My arm was not at its best yes
terday The ligament in the fore
arm kept Jumping out of place dur
ing the first five innings. But the
whole arm could have come off be
fore I would have quit.
if 1 never pitched another game,
I was going to win this one.
In the fifth the old salary earner
pained me like a jumping tooth
ache. As I sat on the bench in the
last of th* fifth, 1 wrapped the arm

Boston Goes Baseball Mad as
Series Moves On to Its Crisis
*By Billy Smith.
Fenway park, boston, oct.
15.—Boston's baseball madness
again asserted itself today in
the frenzied cheering from the ear
ly arrivals over the advent of the
Red Sox for practice for the sev
enth game of the world’s series.
The sun dropped behind heavy
black clouds shortly after noon,
and a strong wind came up, but
possibility of rain had no effect on
the fanatics, who pushed and jos
tled their way into the grounds as
soon as the gates were opened.
At 1 o’clock the bleachers were
nearly filled and about one-third of
the reserved seats were filled, white
thousands of fans stood in line out
side the gates.
The grounds were in excellent
condition, but it wqs seen in prac
tice that the strong wind bothered
the outfielders in their judgment
of fly balls.
The Giants came onto the field at
12:50, and plunged into practice
work like colts, making seemingly
impossible catches and throws, and
apparently full of confidence of vic
tory today.
Another army of Giant rooters
came to Boston and plunged heav
ily on their favorites. The bet
ting quotations varied slightly, but
the average odds on the game stood
at 5 to 4 on the Red Sox for today,
and 2 to 1 on the Bostonians for
tomorrow.
Can’t Figure O'Brien’s ‘•Blow.”
The Boston fans were consider
ably shocked at the terrible lashing
handed “Buck” O'Brien yesterday
and they are still wondering what
the Giants did to wreak such havoc
in such a short period of time. The
turning point in that game was
when O’Brien made a palpable balk
to first base and allowed Larry
Doyle to walk home with a run.
Marquard pitched Engle just ex
actly the kind of a ball that he
likes to htt. McGraw and the
pitchers who had been watching
Engle told Marquard to keep the
ball low on him and that he could
never make a hit. Instead of fol
lowing these instructions, the Rube
pitched one waist high on the In
side corner of the plate. On those
balls Engle made so many long
hits that he earned the sobriquet
of “Hack” and when he saw Mar
quard gave him his old favorite he
came near breaking down the
fence.
I look for the victory of the Sox
today. If Wood is anywhere near
right I am sure he will win the
fifty-bone bet I have wagered.
It is almost Inconceivable that a
pitcher who has been pitching
baseball for a number of years
could make such a mistake as to
start a throw to first base and
then stop dead In his tracks. It
showed one thing to McGraw, how’-
ever, and he lost no time in strik
ing while the Iron was hot. Imme
diately after O’Brien made the balk
there was great activity among the
Giants. McGraw and Coach Robi
son were running here and there
and the players were tossing up
bats and getting ready for a
slaughter.
“Don’t fool around with him
now," said McGraw’. “Hit at any
thing that comes up.”
McGraw had seen in an instant
that the Red Sox were rattled and
that O’Brien was more upset than
any of them. Their calm, hard
working spirit of previous days
had gone and in its stead was a
nervous anxiety over winning the
game that was to settle the world’s
championship.
By hitting at the first ball or at
any one that came near the plate
the Giants got to O’Brien before he
could settle down after that balk.
Stahl Makes Poor Move,
Bang! Bang! Bang! The hits be
began popping around the field and
when the smoke had blown away
the Giants had five runs and the
game.
Right then and there Jake Stahl
did a most foolish thing.
He took O’Brien out of a game
that was hopelessly lost and sub
stltuted Ray Collins, a pitcher on
whom he was depending for an Im
portant fight. Collins pitched in
masterful form, but it was like
shooting at the stars.
The only result of this move was
the ruining of two pitchers on a
hopeless defeat and putting himself
in an awful position if anything
should happen to Wood, the one
fereat star, today.
Rube Marquard caught the spirit
of victory from his team mates and
pitched a beautiful game. He was
a little unsteady in the third and
fourth innings, but after that he
“ straightened out and the Sox were
helpless.
Rube declares that during the
second Inning he felt that a liga
ment in his arm was working out
of place and that It affected hig
control. Between the fourth and
fifth Innings he tvent to the bench,
where Ed Mackall, the train er
bound the pitching wing with ad
hesive tape so as to hold the liga
ment in place. After that Rube’s
control was perfect and he per
formed the rather remarkable feat
of making nineteen batters pop
easy flies.
Engle Proved Surprise.
The one man who fooled Mar
quard and who is responsible for
the only runs made by the Sox is
Clyde Engle, the utility infielder,
who batted in place of O’Brien in
the second. There were two on
bases when Engle came to the bat,
and he sent them both home with a
two-bagger that bumped into the
left-field fence.
CUBS WIN THIRD IN ROW
AND HAVE SOX ON RUN
CHICAGO, Oct. 15 —The Chicago Na
tionals buried the White Sox under an
8 to 1 score yesterday, winning the third
straight game of the series to decide the
baseball championship of Chicago. Vic
tory for the Cubs today will end the se
ries.
Clootte attempted to stop the Cubs’
winning streak, but was relieved by Langs
after five runs had been scored off him
in two innings. Lange held his oppo
nents in check until the ninth, when Saler
pounded out his second triple, scoring two
more runs.
The American leaguers' lone tally was
made in the sixth, when Bodie drove the
ball deep into center field for three bases
and scored on Johnson’s single. Cheney
pitched in rare form. He held the
Americans to eight hits and kept them
well scattered.
