long as he adheres to his hit away
policy of offense, can nssrr be
successful world series. manager.
He steadfastly refuses to order MS
men TO play for one run at a time,
rarely employs the sacrifice or
squeeze plays, and puts on the run
and hit stratgem at every oppor-
tunity.
There was much in today's fifth
game of the current big series to
vihdicate this opinion. The Giants
lost the game, by 8 runs TO 1, and
the edge on the series largely be-
cause McGraw, debating every move
OF his athletes by signals from the
bench, held out against sluggtns
abnegation. The National Leaguers
dissipated no fewer than three ex-
cellent scoring opportunities In con-
sequence of disdaininG the martyr
bunts which canny Miller Huggins
calls for at almost every oppor-
tunity.
With the game count even, a great
burden of responsibility rested to-
day upoh the youthful shoulders or
Rosy-cheeked Waite Hoyt, the
Brooklyn lad. in whom McGraw at
Marlin. Texas. a few years back
failed to perceive a prospect worth
developing. OF TO a faltering start,
Hoyt was aided nightly by the
Giants persistent slam-bang policy
of attack, and found himself about
the time the Yankees tied the score
at IL, in the third inning, and.
thereafter, pitched with infinite con-
fidence and cunning.
