 Ginntx Threaten Twice
 The Giants threatened to the home plate twice. The best chance to score came in the fourth inning, with Frisch on third and only one out. He had reached first on a single to right, stole second and took third on Young's sacrifice, Mays to Pipp. He was left there as Kelly struck out, and Emil Meusel grounded out, Peck inpaugh to Pipp.
 The other chance came in the sixth inning on Frisch's triple. after two were out. Young, however, was not equal to the occasion, going out, Peckinpaugh to Pipp. The Giants had men left on second in the first and second innings.
 Park Not Full
 One of the surprising things about the game was the fact that, while the Polo grounds will accommodate nearly 39,000 persons, the official at tendance figures showed but 3O,203 persons present. The upper grand stand, to which admission could only be obtained by purchase of tickets a the gates after they were opened, showed large stretches of empty seats at the extremes. This was easily &C., counted for. however. when it became known that the police orders to keep non-ticket holders from the vicinity of the field after 1 D. m. had been strictly enforced, with the result that thousands of latecomers, who might readily have been accommodated, were kept beyond the reach of the box offices.
 As for the temper of the crowd it was remarked that some degree of the enthusiasm witnessed at most world series contests seemed lack ing. There was a ready enough -ex- planation of this. too, when it was recalled that this crowd was one di- vided against itself, with probably something like a 50-50 split between Giants and Yankee rooters. From this 1t did not seem that the usual roar Ing outbursts of gleeful fans were in evidence when things took favorable turns for one side or the other, but simply that at no time did stands and bleachers arise as one man to shout the shout of the joyful. Something lhe ualI the crOWQ Q1unC reel mucn like shouting.
 Game Lacked Tenseness
 For another thing-and possibly this was the more compelling reason the game lacked really tense situa- tions. 1t was close throughout. but the Yankees. as the score shows, took an early. lead and not only were they never headed but never was there any such a chance on the part of the Giant rooters to cheer for a possible tied score or successful rally. The Yankee rooters made plenty of noise when the game was ended spectacu- larly by a flashing double play with Peckinpaugh and Ward as the leading figures.
 The Giant fans had held hopes of a score up to this point, for Frisch got a clean single to start the inning and visions of rally were indulged In. Frisch. however, was forced by Young and then Kelly's hit to Peck inpaugh was tossed by him to Ward, forcing Young. Ward then wheeling and throwing to first, getting the batter and ending the game.
 The only other double play of the afternoon was made by the Giants inS the first inning. There was one out when Bob Meusel forced Ruth at sec- ond. F'risch to Rawlings, and was himself thrown out at first.
