YANKS WIN AGAIN
Continued from PAGE Onel

Frank Frisch. This brilliant per-
former undoubtedly prevented the
score taking on a decidedly more
iopsided aspect. For one thing he
made great catch of sizzling liner
by Meusel, labeled for two bases,
with two on, in the Yankees first in
ming, turning the smash into a double
play. Then, in the third, he brought
the crowd to its feet with his bril-
liant performance in grabbing a diff
fcult grounder from McNally, throw
ing himself at the ball, and then
while fiat on the ground, reaching up
and tagging Walter Pipp, who was
tearing for third.
Much of the excitement of the
game was crowded into the Yankees
third inning. Schang started by
sending high fly to Bancroft. Raw
Ings squirmed and twisted to get un-
der Hoyts Texas Lacquer but was
unable to hold the ball. Peckin-
paugh walked and the crowd yelled
to Ruth to hitter OUT as the Babe
came to bat. Coach Leary. of the
Yankees here ran out from the dug
out and drew Umpire Moriarty's at
tention to the ball. The umpire ex-
amined it and threw it out of the
game. Pitcher Nehf took no chances
with the home run hitter and DELHI
erateH passed him to first, filling
the bases. This brought up Bob
Meusel, another hard hitter, but the
best he could do was to sent up a
short fly to Bancroft, leaving the
three base runners stranded.
First Run in Fourth
The Yanks scored their first run
in the fourth inning. After Pipp had
sent a high fly to Young, Ward got a
hit on slow bounder to right Nc
Nally hit TO Nehf. who, in trying to
throw out Ward at second, s:rS the
ball wide and both runners were
safe. Walter Schang drew a pass,
filling all corners Ward tailed the
hrst run as Hoyt went. out on a
grounder, Rawlings to Kelly. Me
Nally tried to score as the play was
being made and was nipped at the
plate by Kelly's good throw to Smith.
Except for Ruth's base on balls
ing further happened in the scoring
line until the eighth, when the Yam
KEGS added two. Frisch muffed Peck
inpaugh's easy fly back of second
base. Ruth smashed a grounder to
Kelly. who threw out Peck at Sec
ond. Bancroft taking the throw
Ruth sprinted to third on Bob Meu-
sells single to center and came home
as Pipp was going out on a grounder,
Rawlings to Kelly. Meusel took
third on the play. Then the unex-
pected again happened-Meusel'
steal home amid cheers that shook
the grand stand. Ward ended the
inning by fouling out to Kelly.
Record Gate Receipts
In addition to establishing a new
worlds series record of two consecu-
tive shutouts by the same team in
the first two games, the gate re-
cefpts record established yesterday
also went by the bourd. The 81 939
spectators who witnessed the Yam
KEGS second victory paid S115, 800.
This was more than six times the
gate receipts in the second game of
the 19Oo series, which was the first
played at the Polo grounds under
the National commission rules.
BY a strange coincidence the
Giants lost that game to the Phila-
delphia Athletics on the same field
and by the same score as that of to-
days contest. Chief Bender did the
hurting for Connie Mack and it was
the only game won by the Athletics
IN the famous shutout series. At
that game, the first of the series d
W. persons paid $1S,9SS.
OF the $115.320 paid TODAY the
players will receive $5S,S13.2O; the
clubs $39,2OS.SO and the Advisory
Council $17,29S. If interest in the
series continues and the play should
extend to six or seven games a new
total receipts record is almost GER
tain in view Of the high prices being
charged for both reserved and m
reserved seats at the Polo grounds.
inc present record for gate receipts
Is held by the 1919 series between
the Cincinnati and Chicago clubs.
