HAVEN'T STARTED'-MAC
Praises Nehf's Performance
Rival Leader Surprised
by Hoyt.
BY DANIEL.

In the clubhouse OF the Yankees after
the battle yesterday the Joy which had
followed the great victory Of wednes-
day had turned to unconfned jubilation
The players indulged In lot of horse
play and seemed to regard the series
as settled In their favor.
In the quarters of the Giants the IN
clination not to take defeat seriously,
which had come in the wake of the
opening disappointment. now gave way
were not inclined to regard the battle
as even half over. They announced
themselves as being still very much in
the thick Of the fight
Miller Higgins went so far as to in
dulge In a sSnie-a rare performance in
deed for the leader of the Yankees. He
sat with head down-doggone tired, he
said, and he certainly looked It. lie
looked more tired than any of his ath-
letes; more tired than young Hoyt. who
had labored and strained through a two
hit game against a great array OF
sluggers.
McCrnw IL Chagrfned.
McCraw sat in his private room In
consultation with Charles A. Stoneham
and Magistrate McQuade. The leader
Of the Giants made no attempt to hide
his chagrin, but he was hopeful of TIE
future. McGraw said that he was cer-
tain to pitch Fred Toney to-day, but
Huggins was not certain whether he
would use Harry Harper or Bob Shaw
key. The chances are that the left
handler will be used.
I'VE had more pep, we had more
speed, we had greater defence and we
had greater pitching" said Higgins.
That makes a winning combination
against any club In any series Hoyt
was a wonder. He exceeded our fond
est expectations, and with that two hi,
game In the wake of the great pitching
OF Mays we stand not alone with two
victories, but with two great pitchers
20 throw right back at the Giants. We
look pretty good. don't we?
"McNally's great playing, Ruth's
great work. the fine steal of Meusel--all
stood out. But the entire club deserves
unlimited credit for outspeedng a fast
team. We will be right back tomorrow
with the same Old killing combination.
II may be Harper; II may be Shawkey.
will not decide until just before the
game. But we will win. no matter who
pitches"
Praises Nebrs Pitching.
McGraw admitted that he could no,
fathom the failure or the Giants 20 hit.
"I did not think that Hoyt pitched a
game that should have held the Giants
to only two hits. From n technical
standpoint the pitching OF Nehf was far
superior. Nehf had a great curve and
n world OF sreed. and he was pitching
wonderful ball all the time. Incident
ally he pitched TO Ruth all afternoon.
Hoyt laid the ball In. and yet our boys
would not get TO him. It's got mo
that's all. We have not started 70 play
this series.
we do not seem to be able to get the
breaks at ail. The Yankees have scored
six runs In two games, and these six
runs are the cheapest ever made In n
world series. We are making the
breaks for the Yankees TO score, ano
that's not at all like the club which
made 50 great finish for the flag.
II am not at all discouraged. OK
pect the Giants to go out and win for
Toney tomorrow They have got to
win. and I am confident that they will
do r. And 7 do not care who. pitches
for the Yankees. That play Of Frisch's
