...makes for a lot of good fun," he explained. Then he sent in Walter Stewart, like Hubbell a lefthander. It made good fun, but not for Pitcher Stewart. The first man to face him made first base on an error. Mel Ott, short, boyish rightfielder. stepped to bat for his first time in a World Series and bashed a home-run into the right-field stand. Again in the third, Ott (who was to make four hits in four chances) drove in a run, and drove Stewart out of the box. The Giants, whom sports writers had called "the hitless...

...upper grandstand tier in the third. Except for that, Pitcher Hal Schumacher, 22-year-old graduate of St. Lawrence University, had allowed only one hit in five innings. The Giants had knocked only two singles from Washington's veteran righthander, "General" Crowder. Then the Senators went to bat in the sixth. They did everything toward scoring more runs-except to reach the home plate. Goslin singled, Manush was walked, and both men gained bases when Schumacher pitched a wild one. Schulte knocked a hard grounder to third base and Goslin was run down on his way home. Schumacher walked...

...Coast League, in 1932 O'Doul was No. i batsman of the National League, but a 1933 slump had put him on the bench, to be brought forth only in a pinch like this. Twice O'Doul swung and fouled. Third-Baseman Jackson, waiting his turn at bat, called out: "Take it easy, Lefty. You don't need to hit it out of the park. A single will do." O'Doul cracked the next ball into centre field for a single, scoring Critz and Terry, putting the Giants ahead. Another single by Jackson sent Ott home...

...ninth inning, with the score 2 to 1 in favor of the Washington Senators, with two out and the tying run on base, Oscar Melillo of the St. Louis Browns lifted a long fly to left field. Heinie Manush, Washington's fielder, started with the crack of the bat. He dived forward near the wall, rolled over on the turf, came up without his cap but with the ball gripped tightly in his glove, a brilliant catch that ended the game and, statistically, the astonishing major league baseball season...

From Brookes, who was one of the world's best players from 1907 to 1920, Champion Crawford received more than his notion of what kind of bat to use. Now a Melbourne manufacturer, in his middle 50's, Norman Brookes still plays formidable tennis. Last winter he teamed with Vines in a doubles match against Gledhill and Gerald Patterson, whose victory at Wimbledon in 1922 was the last by a British subject until Crawford's this year. Brookes's stubborn ambition to bring the Davis Cup back to Australia had something to do with the tour...
