Captain q the New York Giants.
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK.
Oct. Say. it was the sweetest music
ever heard in my life-those base
hits rattling of of their bats this
afternoon. We plugged up the holes
In our hickories-and the whole world
knows what happened. We punched
and pounded four Yankee pitchers all
around the lot and in that seventh
inning l guess We established a world
series record for hitting and scoring.
We're out Of the old slump now
and Well stay out until the series is
over. Yes. know that Mays and Hoyt
stopped us in their first starts. But
they won't repeat. The. whole club is
hitting now-exeept George Kelly.
And guess big George decided that
we didn't need his help this afternoon
and has saved up his long drives for
the fourth game.
That's the >one we're going to win
so as to tie up the series.
Yankees Died Game.
Those Yanks were beaten decisively
this afternoon-but they went down
to defeat in game fashion. Their
pitching staff wobbled and was broken
down by our attack. But the team
didn't follow with 1t. The Yankee
regulars fought every inch Of the way
with everything they had, in an effort
to stop US.
What amazing support those
Yanks have given to their pitchers.
Three games-and not an error.
Again and again one or the other
has arisen to a fielding emergency
and by performing the spectacular
stopped one or another Of our
rallies.
Aaron Ward checked US on the
second. His leaping ore-handed
catch of Rawlings liner was a
miraculous performance. 1t started
double play, balted us terribly
In our determination to smash
those Yanks to defeat this after
noon.
Burns Makes star Play.
Matching Wards play was the
wonderful running backward grab
that George Burns made off Jack
Quinns bat. 1t looked like a GER
tain triple when it started its
hurricane trip to left center. But
George judged it perfectly. ran like
a scared jackrabbit and got 1t over
his left shoulder. He richly de-
served the great cheer that was
accorded. to him.
I'd like to point out that the
slugging George Ruth hasn't done
any numbering of our pitchers.
He's been up seven times SO far
and two singles is the best he
could do. On four other occasions
he has been famed. He'll do some
more of 1t before the series is over
Our boys aren't afraid of Ruth
They've shown that by the fact
that every time he has come to
the plate they have pitched to him
He hasn't been passed Intentionally
and l can't figure out any reason
right now why he will be.

Oct. lit takes little rain with

hits rained upon us. 1t was q
brutal licking and that's that.
During the regular season we suf-
lfered defeats Of that sort, but we
came back almost always in the
next game and won by as decisive
margin as we lost. i have the

/ imagine that Carl Mays will con-
troll the thunder in the Giants bats

Giants simply had a good day. and
the pitchers we, used weren't al
their best. The Giants, of course,
took advantage OF every opening
and made the most of every op-
portunity.

They made eight hits in that In

But other teams have seen us DC
precisely the same thing and per-

In the first game OF the series

to avenge the horrible licking We
got today and 1t pleases me tc
think that we will revert to ou,

runs for Carl. We still have ths

Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 18.-The
story of Lieutenant Pearson's forced
landing and experiences in getting
back to civilization was told to the

afternoon upon his arrival at Fort

Pearson flew to Fort Bliss from
Sanderson, Texas, with Lieut.. E. D..

gone to Sanderson to search for
him. In telling of the experiences
since he left Ell Paso last Thursday
in an army airplane he said:
