HONORS Final Game of World Series Most Exciting New York, Oct. 10--The Yankees tried to toss a world's series game to the Pirates on Saturday and the Pirates _ wouldn't take it. They tossed it right back and with it-=a world's championship. The score of the fourth and final game was 4 to: 3. It was the most exciting game of the series, the most thriiiing, and, in the last inning, positively grip- ping The ending was soggy. A world's title passing on a wild pitch, but when you come to go over the happenings of the last half of that ninth © inning, too much blame shouldn't be given to Jack Miljus, the Serbian sharpshooter, for the freak throw which let Combs in with the winning mark, and the four straight victories for the Yanks equalg the record made by the Bos: ton Braves against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1914. Miljus will be remembered as the goat of the series, perhaps, but Johnny Gooch, his catcher, and Pie Traynor, his captain and third base- man, are almost equally to blame It took a great combination of weird stuff to get over that winning run for the Yankees, just. as it did to let the Pirates tie the score in the sloppy seventh. All of which means , nothing except as showing the ten- sion world's series combatants work under. In a game in mid-season the blunders which decided the issue esterda would never have . happen- ed. Anyhow, Wilcey Moore is the hero and entitled to the crown for 1927, the firdt world's series he ever saw, let along played in. He. saved the important first game when he re- lieved Waite Hoyt in a steaming seevnth inning in Pittsburg last Wednesday, and he won the last bat- tle and the "cHueher, overcoming u lot of fielding lapses as he 'did it. One of the lapses was his own, but as Joe Casey used to say "We'll leave all that lay." Traynor and Gooch were the cul- prits in the ninth, Miljus never should have been in the hole he was in and from which he almost pulled himself out by his shoe plates. He struck out Gehrig and Meusel, and he shouldn't have had to do even that. Gooch and Traynor put him in the jam, Walk to Start Trouble. Combs walked to open the ninth, There is a black mark for Miljus, but Combs was one of the leading hitters of the season and of the se- ries, and Miljus worked carefully on ing to keep the ball high. Koenig attempted a bunt. He made a ter- riblé mess of it, pop, which dropped at the feet 'of Traynor, Traynor blundered serious- ly when he touched the ball, which was hopping toward the foul line and would have crossed it, which would have sent all hands back for another try, as it was, Combs went to second, Koenig to first; Ruth was up, Miljus was going fo work Ruth, going to pitch to him. But the first ball dropped too fast, hit the dirt before Gooch could grab it, and went past him and was scored as a wild pitch Tightly. Byt Combs came tearing around third, past the waving arms of Art Fletcher, slip- ped in the mud and had #o get up Had Gooch kept his head up he could have had Combs as dead as a doornail at third, where the raging Traynor was calling fran- ticaly for the ball on third and second, no one out, the championship hanging on one Tun, and Ruth at the bat. Bush Acted Wisely Bush acted wisely in passing the Babe. Gehrig hasn't hit but two hard balls in the last two days, Meu- el none at all. Out of the mess Miljus did nobly. He almost made himself a hero, One pitched ball made him the goat. He struck out Gehrig and Meusel calmly and cool- ly just as Carmen in the first inn- ing. Gehrig took three mighty wallops and retired. Meusel did the same. Lazzeri, who was a disappointment all day, fanning twice, crashed a on long foul to left and was "in the | hole" to the pitcher. But Miljus was too anxious to keep the bal away from the hitter, He curved off high, and far on the outside, and Gooch's far-flung mitt just touched the ball in its course. Back it went to the stands and in thundered Combs with SPEARMINT has a tang and zest to brighten your whole day!

W, Smith, of Toronto, was the winner of the bugle given by the Royal Military College for the best all -round athlete at the sports, held on Saturday in the presence of a fine crowd. But Cadet Smith did not accept it. He had won the previous bugle until it became his own; hence he did not want to com- pete for a second. Cadet J. C. McAvity, St. John, N.B,, the Bisley man of this year, was given the trophy, as he came second in the contest. Cadet McVinty carriel off the pole vault prize, going over the bar at ten feet, five "inches. Company Sergeant Thrasher, New York, took the high jump at five feet four inches. Fhe obstacle race for the recruits was a really good cvent. It was high- ly entertaining, as they scaled walls, crawled through barrels, took water jumps and other stunts. Cadet Don White, Montreal, cut, won the difference between a winner's and a loser's share, close to $50,- 000 in all, jangling at his heels. May Have Been Lucky The winning run may have been lucky, fragrant with Roquefort, but there shouldn't have been any ne- cessity to go to that ninth inning. For the blazing denouement you can blame Messrs. Moore and Laz- zeri. The Pirates made only one run by clean hitting, despite the fact that they tagged Farmer Wilcey for ten hits, He always had them where he wanted them except in the first and seventh. There would have been no ninth- inning finish had Moore clung to an easy toss by Gehrig after a mag- nificent stop of Smit's roller in the seventh. There would have been no ninth had Lazzeri not fallen down on the tap of Brickell which follow- ed it and put men on first and sec- ond with * none out, where there should have been none on and two out. But the Pirates followed up with a bunt sacrifice, and clean singles by Barnhart and a long aerial sac- rifice by Paul Waner, and came by two runs which tied the sc¢ore, where they should have had none. Moore should have won in a breeze. As it was, Miljus had to hand him the laurels, But the Yankees were the better ball club in every game of the se- ries. The Pirates only showed in flashes, and when the flashed the Yankee infield outdid the the Pir- ates, just as it figured to do before the series opened. The Yankee out- field more than held its own with the Pirates, and Ruth and Combs can fairly be said to have been bet- ter on the defensive than the Wa- ner bos in right and centre. Barn- hart oufdid Meusel by a big margin at the bat, especially in the pinches, but was no better in the field. One of those Pirate flashes of Satturday's game was furnished by Carmen Hill in the first inning. The four-eyed lad. who was the Pirate mainstay in the long grind of the season, did a lot of fine pitching in the first six innings in spite of the great home run of Ruth's in the fifth, That homer was made off a ball perfe-'l: pitched. The only trouble from IIill's standpoint was that the Babe was ready. ) But the first showed Hill at his hest. Combs singled, Koenig singl- ed, Ruth singled. It looked as though the steam roller was going to flatten the bespectacled Carmen as it had flattened the bespectacled Lee Meadows the day before, But with .a run in and a precious tally, the Pirates had taen off Moore in the first inning. Yankee attack in its tracks. struck out Gehrig, Meusel and Laz- zeri in a row. If Miljus had finish- ed up Jthe fanning of Gehrig and Meunsel in the ninth by also fanning Lazzeri, history would have repeat- ed and the game might have. been called, He stopped the' He } Ambitious City City Representa- tives Get Bdge i in Pifching Duel Between Hardill for Petes and Gibb for the Oskies--Petes Lead for Seven Frames. Hamilton, Oct. 10.--Oskies of Hamilton defeated Peterboro' 4 to 3 at Scott Park on Saturday after- noon, before a crowd of 5,000 fans, to win the Ontario amateur baseball championship for the season of 1927. It was the first Ontario title annexed by a Hamilton team since 1920, when Plowites defeated Pet- erboro' in a three-game series to win the much coveted honors. Saturday's game, a pitching duel between JeJff Hardill, Peterboro's 18-year-old pitching sensation, and Bert Gibb, mound ace, was a battle from wire to wire, and undecided until the eighth inning, when Jim Hall muffed a ball in leftfield that allowed 'Alex. Scott to score with what proved to be the winning counter. - For seven frames Peterboro' led the Oskies, and with Hardill pitch. ing fine ball it looked like defeat for the locals. until Hall made his costly fumble. Hardill held Oskies to seven scattered hit, but four miscues, two by Johnston at third, and the other by Swanson and Hall proved his undoing. It was Alex. Scott who produced the punch for Hamilton, being in- strumental in more ways than one in winning the game and title. Scott provided a sensational fielding per- formance at third base, and in the eighth he doubled to the leftfield fence to send Broadbent scampering across the plate with the tying counter. Sullivan, Broadbent and Elford also turned in good defensive games. . > R. H E. Peterboro' 11010000 0-39 4 Hamilton 0110000 2x--472 Errors--Johnson 2, Boyd 2, Swan- son, Jim Hall.

Oct. 10.--The 1927 world's series has passed quickly into baseball history with ten records lsmashed and five others tied, chiefly through the Satting prowess of Babe Ruth, the "makings of a stormy con- troversy in the Bush-Cuyler- Dreyfus ituation and increased prestige for the victorious New York Yankees. The speedy ending of the series pre- vented the battle from smashing re- cords for attendance and gate receipts, although the figures for the third game, at the Yankee Stadium, did set up a new high "gate" of $209,605 for a single contest, while the players' pool also i$ the .greatest on record. Beat 1926 Receipts It was the first time in five years that the scries has failed to be a mil- lion dollar affair. The total receipts, $783,217, however, were more than $50,000 in excess of the total for the first four games of the 1926 series, which set the high mark for seven games of $1,207,864. Thus, the turn- stiles in the battle just closed clicked at a record pace as far as they went. The rival club owners, as a result of the series' brevity, must refund close to $35,000 to ticket holders who purchased the pasteboards in Pitts- burg as well as New York in three- game strips. The refund for what would have been the fifth game here will be more than $200,000, while $150,- 000 will be refunded to purchasers of tickets for a sixth games at Forbes Field. The Yankees outbatted their rivals 279 to .223 and, on the averages, out- fielded them 981 to 962. Babe Ruth's Bat Babe Ruth's bat smashed eight of the ten records broken and tied an- other to clinch for him probably a stronger claim than any other player to the individual hero role of the ser- ies, Herb Pennock, holding the Pirates hitless for seven innings, and to only three safe blows altogether in the third game, was the pitching hero. "Jumping Joe" Dugan turned in the most sensational fielding periormance. Taking the series as a whole, how- ever, Ruth's bat was the most consist- ently prominent feature, figuring in all four victories. The Babe's three sin- gles upset the Pirates in the first game, his sacrifice fly tallied a run in the second, his first homer furnished the climax to the Yankee barrage in the third battle, and his second home rin kept the Yankees from possible defeat in the fourth game. Babe Drives in Seven Runs Ruth drove in more runs than any other player, seven, and accounted for the only two circuit clouts of the ser- ies. He was a constant threat at the plate and handled his position in the field faultlessly. The Babe was out- scored by Combs, Koenig and Lloyd Waner, besides being outbatted by Koenig, who led both' clubs' regulars with a figure of .500, but the big slug- ger was more of a decisive factor than any of these stars. ' Hutchison: ARGOS EASILY WIN FROM QUEEN'S 6-2 Kingston, Oct. 10.--Argonauts had little trouble in defeating the Queen's University seniors here on Saturday afternoon by 6 to 2 in an exhibition game, the Double Blue displaying superiority all along the line, Argos surprised the spectators by their great playing, but it was the work of "Pee Wee' Chantler, former Queen's star, that won the game. The little half-back was never in better form, and made some sen- sational runs; which finally -resulted in a touchdown. . Queen's looked like a shadow of the great team which plowed its way from championship to championship for four straight years. The mater- ial was there, but apparently they have still not recovered from the loss of "Bud" Thomas. Argos got away for long runs because the Queen's wings could not get down under the kicks, and the result was that in the third quarter Argos ran wild until they scored their touch- down. Without Batstone, Queen's would have been beaten by a larger score. The sorrel-topped " half-back was the outstanding player on the team, through his running and kicking, and many times he relievea the tension when it looked like de- feat, With much practice and the change in their plays the Tricolor, however,, should yet nrake things interesting for McGill and University of Toronto. The score was tied at half-time at 1 to 1. Argos lost chances on 2 couple of fumbles,, though their plays were working well, end during the first half they gained yards sev- eral times. In the third quartér, however,, Chantler broke away for long runs three times, the ast time dodging several tacklers and going over for a touchdown. After using many 'substitutes Queen's. were able to score another point on Batstone's kick in the last quarter. Argos--Flying wing, backfield, Boadway, clair; quarter-back, Park: snap, insides. Wilson and Richmond: middles, Miles and Hen- dry; outsides, Irwin and Garrurea; substitute, Chantler, Brown, Shaw, Court, Richards, Harris, Hamilton and McLennan. Queen's--Flying wing, Britton: backfield, Batstone, Warren and Me- Kelyev; auarter, Sutton; snap, Na- gel: insides, Brown and Handford: middles.

Barrett: Mutro and Sin- 10---By a score of 3 to 2, Missy Helen Payson, Portland, Me., defeated Miss I'ritzi Wheeling, W. V., on the course of the Lambton Golf and County Club on Saturday afternoon in the 36-hole final of the Canadian women's open golf cham- pionship, Miss Payson succeeds Miss Ada Mackenzie, Toronto Women's Golf 'and Tennis Club, who was eli- minated from the tournameng by Mrs. W. I". Fraser, Royal Ottawa, after an ambitious program which started on Sept. 15, with the Unit- ed States championship, and includ- ed the Canadian women's closed and open camplonships. McGILL SENIORS BEAT VARSITY 12-6 Toronto, Oct. 10 -- Playing a steady game and at times a bril- liant gawne, the McGill University seniors on Saturday afternoon de- feated University of Toronto by 12 to 6, and thus secured a command- ing lead in the Intercollegiate Un- fon race. On the play the better team came home in front, but at that the visitors had to rely on fumbles, same being contributed by Captain Francis Trimble, to get away with the verdict - These er- rors, tombised with the sensational running of Ralph St. Germaine, wera too much for the locals to overcome. A crowd estimated at the four- teen thousand-mark watched a bat- tle which, if not overloaded with high class foothal, was Interesting because of' its uncertainty. ©. of T. hung on grimly until they tied the score in the final period with a fayorisg wind behind them, but just when it appeared that the Red and White were through St. Germaine found gaping holes in the U. or T. right wing, and Quarterback Bazin was woefully weak. Taking advan- tage of these weaknesses, the visit- ors played rings around the fast- fading Blue and White "gridders" and pulled out a thrilling win, CUYLER OF PIRATES IS TO BE TRADED New York, Oct. 10.--The Pitts- burg club has not yet considered any propositions for the sale of Hazen Cuyler, the chief figure in baseball's current controversy, nor has it been decided definitely that Cuyler is to be traded to another National League Club, Barney Dreyfuss, own- er of the Pirates, said here yester- day. There were strong reports that Dreyfuss, Bush and Cuyler would meet after the players' conference tomorrow and that a decision would be reached then. Cuyler believes he has played his last game in a Pir- ate uniform. "Not because T don't want to play in that uniform." he explained, "but because my emplovers, I understand, have other plans."

The game take place in that city with the return game, it is expected, here Friday after- noon at the same time. St. Catharines won the third and deciding game Saturday afternoon in Hamilton when they trounced the Brantfordites 15 to 1, which is incidentally the same score that St. Catharines won by in the sec- ond game on home grounds. The first was lost in Brantford 7 to 6 and was the subject of a protest due to the unplayable condition of the diamond at Mohawk park. Efforts are being made to have the second game here Saturday afternoon, but it is doubtful if this can be accomplished due to the fact that several members of the Chevrulets play rugby for the col- legiate squad which has a sched- uled interscholastic game with Co- bourg. Further announcements however, in connection with the second game will be made later.

TIGERS WIN 7 TO 6 FROM CAMP BORDEN IN OVERTIME Hamilton, Oct. 10.--Coming from bekind in the last three minutes of play to tie up the game with a goal from the field by Hutton, the Tig- er O.R.F.U. team went into two five- minute periods of overtime to down Camp 'Borden by 7 to 6 at the H. A.A.A. field on Saturday afternoon, and, es it was the second time in a weekk that they defeated the Air- men, the locals are perched on top of the group standing. The game, witnessed by a small crowd, was what could be termed an interesting affair, despite the fact that fumbles were numerous and played an im- portant part in the scoring of both teams. It was the Tiger backfield that stood out against the men led by Dave Harding, Warwick, Hutton, Hawkins, Hunter and Hayward turning in smart booting and run- ig performances that brought the ball out of the Tiger danger zone repeatedly. And the Airmen's back- field also scintilated, especially Harding, who proved to be the hard- est man on the, field to grass. His long runs featured, and with a little more of the support he received from the diminutive Ault in the fourth quarter of the contest Camp Borden might have been in the run- ning for group honors today instead of floundering at the bottom of the heap with little or no chance of get- ting, back into the hunt. OTTAWA DEFEATS MONTREAL 4 TO 2 Montreal, Oct. 10. Breaking through for long gains when the need was greatést, the Ottawa Senators showed just enough of their champ- ionship form to wrest the honors from the Montreal squad by 4 to 2 in the Interprovincial Union battle waged at the M.A.A.A. gridiron on Saturday af- ternoon. As a result of the triumph, the team from the Capital is perched at the top of the Big Four race and Montreal is relegated deeper into the cellar. Montreal took an early lead when, playing against;the wind for the first quarter, they # rew Tubman over the Ottawa goal line in the first three minutes, following 'a bad snap by Chevrier. They held the advantage for the remainder of the quarter and with the wind in their favor starting the second period were in a fair position.

New York, Babe Ruth et al won / the World's Series Saturday by win- fing four straight games from Pittsburg Pirates. The series was one of the shortest on record and in addition ten padt' records 'were broken, the Babe himself getting eight of them. We wander when this New York outfit is going to start from the bottom up again as it gets rather tiresome seeing a New York team in there so often. Another 'championship was de- cided Saturday. afternoon in Ham- ilton before a crowd of 5,000 fans when the Hamilton Oskies won the Ontario Amateur Baseball Associa- tion's senior title from Peterboro. The latter team represented the Lakeshore Senior Baseball League of which Oshawa General Motors is a member. Fans in this city pulled hard for the Petes altho they be- lieved from the outset that the Petes did not have the stamina to keep pace with the Hams. Hardill and Heckman are two dandy pitch- ers, but they had to extend them- selves to the limit to get the Petes as far as they -did. between Oshawa, Whitby and Bow- manville Colletiates will be held in Alexandra park Wednesday after- noon, it was announced today by the executive. The meet was origin- ally scheduleg for Friday afternoon but heavy raing caused a postpone- ment. As a result of the brilliant fall weather over the week-end and today, a nice dry field and track will greet the athletes when they hold sway Wednesday. Interest in the méet is growing more tense each day and keen competition is ex- pected. The Inter-school Athletic meet "Hooley" Smith to the Montreal Maroons occasions no surprise. The Ottawa Hockey Club, with a championship team, had a deficit, and the sale of this great player will probably not 6nly bal- ance their account, but give them a surplus to start this year with. "Hooley", while still under suspen- sion for the first month of the com- ing season, was sought by every club in the league, but when it comes to talking dollars and cents, the Maroons are first, the rest no- where.--Torants Mail and. Empire. The sale of That Oshawa's intermediate rug- by team which dishanded last week after efforts to secure a competent coach had proved futile, might have stood a good chance against both the West Sides of Toronto and St. Catharines, ,th¥ two remaining teams in te group is evident by the fact that these aggrega- tions played a 11 to 1 game in the latter city Saturday, t} ome team winning out. Advices from both cities are. to the effect that the teams this year are not what they were a year ago. However--all said and done--the locgls probably took the better course in waiting for a year. Competition among the three col- legiates, Oshawa, Bowmanville and: Whitby, has bee noing on for nine' years, it is understood, and the first cup donated by Mr. G. W. McLaugh- lin was won by Oshawa. It is neces-: sary for a school to win the honor three times before the trophy fin- ally becomes its property, . This year's mug donated by Mr. Bassett, prominent local jeweller, has been in competition for the past threc? years and so far only Whitby has a credit to its standing. Last year a tie was scored between Whitby and Bowmanville. So that leaves Osh- awa a good chance to get in there this year. President Samuel Robertson of the Buffalo Baskball Club, Interna- tional League champions, has some- thing else up his sleeve than his el- bow. When the Bisons were tendered their cheques for the losers' end of the Junior World Series the players complained that they should have read $731.52 each, instead of $706.25. The difference, about $25, is not much to fight about, especi- ally since the club owners are under no obligation to play the Junior Ser- ies, and do not always do so. When the Bisons started in to tell Presi- dent Robertson how much they were - to be naid the prexy countered with, "If the case comes before Commis- sioner Landis I may be forced to disclose certain facts which I must refrain from divulging at this time." St. Catharines and Brantford played the third game of the series to decide the winner of the group and the right to meet Oshawa Chevrolets in the final for the in- termediate championship of the On- tario Amateur Softball Association in Hamilton Saturday. The morning's press failed to carry a' score and local followers of the Chevs. were at a loss to know who the next vie- tims are. Brantford won the first game 7 to 6. and after St. Kitt's won the second by a large score, a protest was made over the condi- tion of the playing field in Brant- ford.
