PITCHING PUZZLE FOR NATIONALS NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The pained, furrowed countenance of Rodin's status of cognition has nothing on Stanley Harris, the juvenile manager, this morning as he contemplates the fourth game of the world series between his Washington Senators and the Giants of Mr. McGraw. One down and four to play, as they say at the fifteenth tee, Stanley not only will contrive to win three games out of four remaining, but will have to wrangle a pitcher or so, much after the manner of one who produces the rabbit from the hat. That is the reason Stanley starts fixedly into space. He has three pitching possibilities for today's game and not one of them offers an assuring prospect. They are namely Walter Johnson, beaten by the Giants on Saturday; George Mogridge left-hander, who has not been pitching winning ball for six weeks, and Curley Oxden, a young man of no definite ability. Johnson might be used, in view of the fact that the loss of today's game would mean the virtual elimination of the Senators from further consideration. But he will be better for another 24 hours of rest, something of which Mogridge has no immediate need. He has had all the repose of a night watchman. In addition, Zachary's performance on Sunday probably has led to the belief that the Giants can be stumped by a left hander. It seems to be the general impression that McGraw will counter with Virgil Barnes, and somehow this choice has failed to intrigue the fancy of those backing the Giants. While odds on the complete series vowed over night to 2 to 1 on the Giants, even money was being asked on the outcome of the fourth game today.

This year they brought home the fourth game of the series by defeating the Cubs 5 to 3 at their home park yesterday. The Cubs had but two games to their credit.

ROUND, HOT SUN FOR GAME TODAY POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—A very round, very hot sun, as bright and shiny as the day it was born cast a brazen glow over the Polo Grounds this afternoon and afforded a startling relief to the Senators' world series outlook which was as dark as a coal passer's vest pocket. Leading the way at two victories to one and having all the better of the pitching situation, the Giants' chances in the fourth game were much esteemed over the Senators. Late odds had the McGraw entry rated as a 3 to 2 choice for today's game and a 2 to 1 shot to win the series. Decision on whether George Mohridge would pitch and Roger Peckinpaugh play shortstop was received by Stanley Harris our juvenile manager, until the last moment. Harris declared an hour before game time that Peck's appearance in the lineup would be determined by the manner in which his injured tendon responded to infield practice. After hobbling about in the early drill, Peck announced he intended to play but that the matter rested with Harris. Mogridge's selection was all but preordained by the fact that Walter Johnson was beaten on Saturday and needed another day's rest anyhow. The human slogan would be Washington's last hope of ifle Senators lost today. However unlikely the Senators' chances might appear, no doubt of their standing with the alien crowd was left by the reception they received when they strolled into view at 12:45 o'clock. Their path from 'the club house to the bench was a sustained ovation. The Giants, preceding them by a matter of a half hour, were not nearly so kindly received. McGraw's pitching selection was determined early. Not only had he indicated his preference for Barnes, but he just about made it official when he sent the young man to the plate to take his place. CULVER CITY WILL GET BIG SPEEDWAY LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7.—A new auto speedway, costing $500-000, will be erected at Culver City, 10 miles from this city, following settlement of a quarrel among trustees of that city. The new wooden bowl will be ready for use by Thanksgiving Day and it is planned to stage at least twb races a year under the sanction of the American Auto Ass'n. EXPECT PECK BACK NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Roger Peckinpaugh, star shortstop of the Washington Senators, probably will play in this afternoon's world series game, after having been Southworth batted for Baldwin. Southworth reached first safely when Miller fumbled his grounder. Lindstrom forced Southworth at second, Miller to Harris. Frich out, Harris to Judge, Harris making another sensational stop back in right field. No runs, no hits, one error. EIGHTH INNING WASHINGTON—Dean went in to pitch for New York. Goal singled to center for his fourth hit of the game. Judge singled to left, Goalin going to third. Judge went to second when Meusel fumbled the ball in left-field. Blige singled to left, scoring Goalin and Judge. Bluege went to second on the throw to the plate. Ruel fouled to Kelly. Miller filed to Frisch. Mogridge fanned. Two SPORTS DONE by BROWN The rise of Howard Kinsey to a place on the Davis Cap team is an interesting story in itself. The man who was selected to join Tilden, Johnson and Richards to defend the tennis trophy boasts the distinction of winning his way to the peak of tennis fame via the doubles court. Long before his individual worth was discussed the Kinsey brothers—Howard and Robert—were winning fame in tournaments. Their perfect team play in attack and defense made them formidable crew. Their victory over the Australian wizards, Patterson and O'Hara Wood in the national championships at Boston only verified the belief of many of their admirers that the two form one of the greatest doubles teams the game has known. Howard proved conclusively that his greatness is no longer confined to the two-man game when he defeated none other than "Little Bill" Johnston at Sea bright. He demonstrated again that he was in form when he performed the rare feat of taking a set from Bill Tilden in the semi-final round of the national championships. Regardless of Kinsey's chances, the failure can be attributed mainly to the unfortunate injury to Lu Blue brilliant first sacker. Blue had been the backbone of the Tiger inflict all season and had been an important factor in the attacking strength of the club. Lu dislocated his knee on the last eastern trip of the Detroit club. At first it was believed a week would see him back in the game. The injury has refused to yield to treatment, however. The recent return of Mrs. Dorothy Cambel Hurd to the ranks of the golf champions after a lapse of 14 years bay many interesting angles. For one thing her victory gave the Meron Cricket club temporarily at least two national amateur golf champions. Max Marston, 1923 amateur king, is a member of that club. He hopes to hold the title another year. If the New York Giants do stem the attack of the onplunging Dodgers and the cutlass-wielding Pirates the fourth victory of McGraw's men will be attributed more to plain courage, gameness or whatever you choose to call it than any mechanical or mental superiority connected with the makeup of the Giant team. lifted the belief of many of their admirers that the two form one of the greatest doubles teams the game has known. Howard proved conclusively that his greatness is no longer confined to the two-man game when he defeated none other than "Little Bill" Johnston at Seabright. He demonstrated again that he was in form when he performed the rare feat of taking a set from Bill Tilden in the semi-final round of the national championships. Regardless of Kinsey's chances and showing in the cup play he must be reckoned with when discussions concerning prospects for the 1925 season are opened in the coming off-season. Zev, wonder horse of a year ago, is not up to his old form. That is the verdict of horsemen as they watch his showing in the first of the international races featuring Epinard, French favorite. Wise Counsellor turned back the French horse. Zev managed to finish fifth, hopelessly out of the money. The showing of the Sinclair horse as against that in the race he ran against Papyrus last year, was more than a disappointment to his backers and followers. There is no need to alibi for Zev. Wise Counsellor gave Epinard a good race and proved the better horse under the conditions. Fair-minded critics pointed out, however, that Epinard was not at his best in his first appearance on strange soil, strange track and strange racing conditions generally. So Zez, right, would have romped home with a victory. Zey's work on the backstretch was particularly disappointing. He seemed heavy-footed — failed to break away for the final dash with his old snap and spirit. Two races remain, however, of the group planned for Epinard. Should Zey round into form he may still show the world that he isn't through. He is far from form now, however. Ty Cobb still figures the Tigers in the running for the American league pennant, but the wish is father to the hope. If the Junglemen fail to make the grade rarely at least two national amateur golf champions. Max Marston, 1923 amateur king, is a member of that club. He hopes to hold the title another year. If the New York Giants do stem the attack of the outplunging Dodgers and the cutlass-wielding Pirates the fourth victory of McGraw's men can be attributed more to plain courage, gameness or whatever you choose to call it than any mechanical or mental superiority connected with the makeup of the Giant team. McGraw hasn't had the pitching a pennant winning team should have. The Dodgers' pitching staff has it on that of the champ like a blanket. The Pirates have a stronger team, all around, on paper. The Giant attack has flivvved at crucial moment. The men he counted on to slug the ball at a merry clip have failed McGraw. Bill Southworth was obtained in a trade to strengthen the batting end. He slumped Hack Wilson sent into his sheds, potered out after a whirlwind start. Even "Irish" Mussel, ordinarily counted on to slug out a goodly number of base hits, seems to have fallen by the wayside. Despite these shorthandings in the pitching and attacking divisions McGraw's men have kept hammering away—and still have a good chance to carry on to victory. Sheer nerve is turning the trick. When the tennis ranking committee starts its deadly wog this coming winter it will be faced with the task of ousting two members of last year's big ten to find room for two youngsters, George Lott of Chicago and John Hennessey of Indianapolis. Lott is the lad who defeated R. Norris Williams in the national championship matches. He also added Alfred H. Chapin and William Crocker, Canadian Davis cup team member, to his list of victims. Hennessey has beaten the South African, Birland Norton; Gerald Patterson, the giant Australian; Joan Boyotra of France, and Taka Harada/Jap star. They can't be placed lower than tenth with such records. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1924 DOLAN MAKES NEW DENIAL TO LANDIS NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Cozy Dolan, former coach of the New York Giants, today voluntarily called upon Judge K. M. Landis, "baseball dictator," at the Waldorf Astor hotel, and flatly denied that he had anything to do with the offer of $500 to Heinle Sand of the Philadelphia Nationals to "throw the last game between Philadelphia and New York." Dolan had previously pleaded inability to remember when questioned by Judge Landis about the bribe offer to Sand. In saying to Landis today that he had nothing to do with the affair, he exclaimed that his previous declamation about loss of memory was merely his way of denying culpability. Judge Landis refused to comment upon Dolan's new story. WOMAN POOL STAR HERE THIS EVENING Bertha M. King of New York City, world's champion woman pool player, is in Anaheim and will play an exhibition match tonight at the Club Billiard Parlors. She will meet her husband, W. W. King, in a 100-point match game and both will give fancy shots after the game. Mr. King has been one of the leading players for a number of years and has a high run of 125 at rack pool. SEEK KIDNAPER LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7.—Police searched today for a taxi driver who is asserted to have beaten Mrs. Felicia Fields, a pretty young woman, while attempting to kidnap her. 13 CENTS FOR LIMAS Lima bean growers will receive 13 cents net for beans threshed and cleaned and at the warehouse, compared with 8 cents last year, according to W. M. Adlund, manager of the Garden Grove Bean Growers Ass'n. The crop is only about half the size of last year's. In 1922 only 7 cents was paid. Most of the beans are under cover already, and damage in case of rain, while appreciable, won't be reported according to Adlund. SIDELEIGHTS ON WORLD'S SERIES POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Lank Hank Gowdy attracted more attention when he appeared on the field for practice this afternoon because of his display of cleanliness since returning from Washington. Again in a snowy white uniform, with a clean cap. During the first two games Mr. Gowdy managed to get himself so modded up that Muddy Run's reputation in this respect was in danger. Sunday evening Hank's uniform looked as if he had been dragged two blocks by a truck. Nick Altrock and Al Schucht, the two gifted Shakespearean actors of the Senators, uncorked some new tricks this afternoon. They demonstrated the many mises to which a baseball may be put. They had a crap game. Then they played several holes of golf with a bat and ball, Nick using AI's head for a tee. They played several games of billiards also. Both Glants and Senators were kept busy during practice autographing anything that Admirers in the stands happened to have in their pockets. They wrote their names on baseballs, in memorandum books, on cigarette packages and the back of transfers. The crowd wants its money's worth. As soon as the three vocalists singling through megaphones have completed a song, the stands nowt for more till they get it. If Pitcher Watson were not a baseball player, he certainly could be a bullfighter. Today he again wore a red flannel shirt with long sleeves, under his uniform. Miss Thelma Johnson, 11-year-old debutante, daughter of Walter Johnson occupied a box, hoping to see her father in action. She was one of the notables on the photographers' list. 13 CENTS FOR LIMAS Lima bean growers will receive 13 cents net for beans threshed and cleaned and at the warehouse, compared with 8 cents last year, according to W. M. Adland, manager of the Garden Grove Bean Growers' Ass'n. The crop is only about half the size of last years. In 1922 only 7 cents was paid. Most of the beans are under cover already, and damage in case of rain, while appreciable, won't be serious, according to Adland. The Iryne ranch will conclude threshing and cleaning its beans within a week and the viinity about Garden Grove, Buena Park, Smoltzer, etc., is nearly finished with the crop. A quarter of an inch of rain will do no harm. About an inch is required. PLOT TO MURDER TOKYO, Oct. 7.—A plan to assassinate Baron Shidehara, foreign minister; General Ugald, war minister, and other high officials was reported today to have been revealed to the investigators of an attack by three armed members of the Telfso "Red Blood" Society on Shidehara's secretary. The three members entered the foreign secretary's office and belabored the secretary. The secretary said they were protesting against Shidehara's policy of neutrality in China.
