chapter. but as a serial star Harp
was a bust. When Harper walked
Kelly in the second and e. Meusel
pronged home-run into the
stands there were vivid indications
that Harper was on the point of
taking a trip within the next few
minutes. He stopped Rawlings,
but when Snyder smote another
home-run into the stands for the
third tally and Barnes promptly
singled, no expert testimony was
needed to prove that HarrN was in
for a knotty day.
This heavy cannoding brought
Shawkey In to face Barnes. Once
again the Yanks took a finger grip
on the series when Shawkey sin
gIed and Fewster. subbing for
Ruth. carried out his impersonation
10 a marvellous degree by hitting
home run. The sole difference was
that Chick selected the left field
seats while the Babes focus is over
to the right.
-Four Runs In Fourth.
Leading. to 3. with Shawkey's red
Aanneiled undershirt flaming in de
fense. the Yankees had a decided bulge
until the Giants surrounded Robert In
the fourth and battered four runs out
Of his system as Snyder. Barnes. Ban
croft and Kelly all took him on the
run. That mobradment was quite
enough to convince Higgins and his
supporters that when Mays and Hoyt
were not pitching the only way to
win a game was 70 make from ten TO
twenty runs The Giants ran up thir
teen hits for nineteen bases before
they called 1t a day, and this was
practically sufficient with Barnes
sniping every Yank that stuck his
head over the treuch.
After Pipp singled in the third with
only one out. the Circleville cyclone
gave one Of the greatest strikeout ex'
hibitions Of the last two decades For
the next seven Yanks who perished in
order were all victims of his whirl'
wind speed and his fast-breaking
curves He interpolated three passes
in this amazing furry, but they meant
nothing with a parade OF fanks walk
ing up, massaging the May-like all
and then retiring to the cool shade Of
the dugout to report that Barnes
aint got a thing" For such Is alway:

an ancient custom that no ball cluf

chances without a bobble, at las
proved that he was human by a low
peg to Pipp on a hurried play tina
might have been scored either way
For the first few games Franl
Frisch was making all the hits il
the series. as George Kelly varie'
. his strikeoue acts by hitting mer
ril yinto double plays. So it cam
about that with Frisch receiving
ovations almost on q par with Rut'
an dHoyt, Kelly, after the thirt
successive hitless game, was be
ginning to hear a series of sou
murmurs from the stands. He wa
beginning to be the series goat {
such an extent that you could al
most see the budding horns AM
hear the mournful blast.
But here we hae Kelly with sever
hits, only two blows back OF Frisch
with a first-class chance to lead tn
entire pack. As il is. he has NOR
hits than any man on the fanke
