after the way of great southpaws once
they begin to lose the sense or loca
tion, walked Killefer, the first man
up. As he tried to steady himself, he
grooved one over for Hendrix. who bat
ted for Tyler, and the pinch-hitting
pitcher cracked an ominous single into
deep left. Killefer took second. Babe
then loosed a wild pitch, putting Kil
lefer on third, Hendrix on second and
none out. Mclnnis walked to the box
and talked very plain Anglo-Saxon into
Ruth's ear, and what the irate first
baseman forgot to say Dave Shean was
on hand to supply.
Hollocher Bats la Rom.
Babe was sweating, but game. He
put over a good one for Flack, who
tapped It to Mclnnis for an unassisted
putout. while the other runners held
their bases. McCabe was put in to ran
for Hendrix as the hard-hitting Hoi
locher came up. Hollocher hit sharply
to second, but was thrown out, K.me
fer scoring In the melee. Leslie Mann
then tied ud the game with a sharp sin
gle to left which scored McCabe. Fred
Thomas ended the agony by tnrowing
out Paskert at first on a slow bounding
roller.
Boston went Into Its half of the
eighth full of venom for having to win
the game all over again. For the first
time in the aeries they found a right
hander facing them in the box, Douglas
replacing Tyler. Schang. batting for
Agnew, lost no time In demonstrating
that the Red Sox were out for blood.
He soaked a single to center and, on a
short passed ball, sped to second. Cap
tain Hooper was at bat and he laid
down a crafty bunt, which Douglas
heaved wildly In the general direction
of Merkle.

Both teams departed from letter
perfect baseball for the first time since
their meeting and the explosions which
resulted kept the fans in a furore of
old-time big series enthusiasm.
Babe Ruth, Boston's big southpaw
and slugger-extraordinary, led the first
bombarding party, which apparently
wrecked the Cub machine for good
and all, but was hoisted by his own
petard in the eighth and ninth innlnrs.
The game was broken wide open by
Boston in the fourth. Tyler got him
self into a hole by passing Shean, the
first man up. Strunk smashed the ball
hard to center, but Paskert raced under
It for a neat out. Shean. taking ad
vantage of Tyler's leisurely windup,
dashed for second and made It standing
up. while Killlfer let the ball get
through him for a short passed ball.

It was a clean steal for Shean never
theless, and the crowd rooted for a
run. With Whtteman up, Tyler wob

The stands were fairly rocking when
Stuffy Mclnnis strode to the plate, but
the best the Gloucester boy could do
was to force Shean at third. Then
along came Ruth.

into the ball savagely, and the gleam

center field. It was a hard drive to
Judge, and Flack ran in for a step and
then started back in a wild chase.
Two Rum Come Home.
Before the ball slammed into the out
field barrier Whiteman and Mclnnis
had scampered home and Ruth was
heading for third like a big tank run
wild. He beat the throw in easily and
enjoyed a quiet grin on third while the

FORTY WOODED SOLDIERS
SEE GAME AT BOSTON.
BOSTON. Sept. 9. Forty wound
ed American soldiers who came
back from France last Saturday
enjoyed today's world's series
game from grandstand seats. The
soldiers stormed hospital physi
cians for permission to see the
game, and the Boston Chapter of
the Red Cross furnished ambu
lances to transport them to the
field.
0Farrel was Injected Into the game
here, and the first ball Ruth sent within
range of the plate was smashed over
second. It looked like another clean
up, this time for Chicago, but Scott,
gliding with uncanny sped behind the
bag, scooped up the ball with his
gloved hand, tossing to Shean for a
force out of Zeider. while the Arlington
boy. making one of his lighting pivots,
got O'Farrel at first for a double play,
" retiring the side and saving Ruth
bacon for the time being.
Rath Craws Cab Infield.
Ruth showed his ability to .cross up
the opposition In Boston's haff of the
seventh when he came to bat after
Mclnnis had reached first on a clean
single to left. Tyler gave the signal
for a strategic retreat by all outfielders
and then shot one over the plate. Ruth
was braced for one of his terrific
swings, but with great aplomb, he
switched and dumped a dinky little
bunt toward third. The play nearly
stood the Infield on their respective
heads, but Zeider. untangling himself,
threw out Ruth at first. Stuffy taking
second on a very neat sacrifice. The
Inning passed, however, without fur
ther fireworks, which were reserved

the humiliation as much as the big
pitcher himself, called Babe from the
box and sent in Bullet Joe Bush. As
Ruth's heavy artillery might still be
badly needed, however.. he was not ex
iled, but was sent to left field in place
of Whiteman.
It was a tough place for Bush, but
he refused to be rattled and every ball
had a sip to it. Mclnnis conducted a
one-man patrol of No Man's Land in
the vicinity of he pitchers' box and

ball to Thomas, he beaded off Merkle.
Barber, the next man up, hit a line

was on the move, too. With another
of his incomparable one-hand scoops he
started one of those lightning double
plays, Shehan to Mclnnis. which killed
off the game rally of the hard-dying
Cubs.

Luck coached high school football in
Illinois previous to taking charge of
DePauw University. He is a football
enthusiast and a nJayer of repute. He
played four years on the West Aurora,

Manager Barrow of the local team

"Today's game gives is a big edge
on the series. I expect one more game
will finish It up and that Boston will
come through the winner tomorrow.
I'm going to give Jones a chance to
pitch tomorrow and I think he will
measure up in good fctyle. But I've got
Mays in reserve anyway."
Manager Mitchell, of Chicago, de
clared that the Cubs had a fighting
chance to win the series. He said:
"We worked hard for today's game
but lost. We still have a fighting
chance to- take tomorrow's game and
then capture the series on the next two

Chewing; Over Question
Whether Legislation Will Continue
Its Wallop Apres la Guerre.
This world war Is going to turn
things upside down pugilistically. Tak
ing a slant at boxing as it Is today
would give the impression that a tor
pedo had hit the sport amidships and
completely wrecked it.
A country at war needs husky young
athletes of the type of which boxers
are made. For that reason the enlist
ment of many members meant prac
tically the finish of the game from a
commercial standpoint, at least In the
big cities where boxers fought for a
living. Today, the stars of the game.
a large number of them champions, are
doing their bit.. Hundreds are in
France and hundreds are on the way.
With boxing made a part of the
training in every camp, a lot of boxers,
when the Hun is licked, will turn to
the professionals a livelihood, and the
question whether legislation will be as
severe against the sport after the war
as it has .been in many of the states
in the past is one real boxing fans are
now chewing over. Anyway, It seems
nearly a cinch that it will be rejuve
nated on a plane higher than ever be
fore. .
Thousands of sailors and soldiers
who never had a boxing glove on be
fore they entered the service are now
boxing daily and can't be stopped.
They are taking to the sport like ducks
take to the aqua and the result Is cer
tain to be the development of great
ring men, the kind of fighters who are
capable of holding championships.

dis
football, baseball and basketball coach,
arrived in Portland yesterday for a
brief visit. Until last season Matthews
has been coaching at Willamette Uni
versity where he secured excellent re
sults. Last Fall, Matthews was req
uisitioned by Oregon State Agricul
tural College to assist Joe Pipal In
grooming the Aggies for their clash
with the University of Oregon, which
game the Aggies won.
Matthews is now at Sunnyslde, Wash.,
where he has been acting in the capa
city of resident engineer for Yakima
County. While in Portland yesterday,
Matthews, who was one of ths best
all-around gridiron stars ever devel
oped at Njtre Dame, inquired about
gridiron prospects in the shipyards,
a:.d might be inveigled Into accepting
a position as director of athletics a!
one of the local shipbuilding plants,
which In conjunction with his engineer
ing ability would make him a valuable
acquisition.
Matthews will not return to Willam
ette this season. When the Salem in
stitution closed its dors for Summer
vacations Matthews, accompanied by
Mrs. Matthews, moved to Sunnyside
where they have been comfortably
domiciled ever since.

The Horrible Handicap
of Poisoned Blood
The Innocent Suffer Even Unto
the Third and Fourth Gen
erations, but ' Relief Is
Now in Sight.
It has long been accepted as a
matter of course that the sins of the
fathers must be suffered by innocent
posterity, yet It is hard to become
reconciled to this condition. The heri
tage of physical Infirmity Is a handi
cap under which thousands must face
the battle of life.
Scrofula is probably the most notice
able of the transmitted blood disorders,
though there are other more severe
diseases of the blood that pass from
one generation to another. No matter
what inherited blood taint you may be
laboring under, S. & S. offers hope. This
remedy has been In general use for
more than fifty years. It is' purely
vegetable and contains not a particle
of any chemical, and acts promptly on
the blood by routing all traces of the
taint and restoring it to absolute
purity.
Some of the most distressing cases of
transmitted blood poison have yielded
to the treatment of S. S. S-, and no case
should be considered incurable until
this great remedy has been given a
thorough trial. S. S. S. acts as an anti
dote to every impurity in the biood.
You can obtain it at any drug store.

Athletic Director Will Ber Military In.
tractor as Well as Football Coach
at Penn State College.
Hugo Bezdek, who resigned as di
rector of athletics at the University of
Oregon to accpet a like position at
Penn State College, wants It distinctly
understood that he. is not going to
Penn State as a football coach only,
but primarily to prepare the students
for military training.,
"Bez" says his main purpose will
be to act as an instructor In military
training and he expects to fit his col
lege boys for work in the war If they
are needed. He will make a tour of
the Army training camps to get some
ideas as to the methods of physical
training employed In the Army. He
will have charge of all sport activities
at Penn State.
As director of physical education at
Penn State, Bezdek carries a faculty
rank with the title of associate profes
Bor. The job has been ruled essential
and is an all-jiear-round berth. Asso
ciate coaches have been engaged to
handle wrestling and boxing, so there
is no chance for Bezdek to get his
features mussed.
If the major leagues resume opera
tions next season Bezdek will most
likely secure leave of absence to man
age the Pittsburg Pirates.
COACH EARL- CALLS OUT SQUAD
Only One Tjetterman Turns Vp for
Football at Washington High.
Coach Virgil Earl, of Washington
High School, called out his football ma-
terial for the first time this Fall yes
terday afternoon and 40 members,
mostly freshmen, responded. Although)
for a time it looked as if five letter
men would return, Mr. Earl's hopes
went a-glimmering, as four of thoss
five will probably not return. Sunny
Sundelief and Captain Dude Hitchcock:
will probably enter O. A. C, Jimmy
Kidwell is going to Y. M. C. A. day
school, and Beamer, last year's star
center, has so far not been entered on
the school rolls. Dalton, the quarter
back, seems to be the only man certain
of returning.
