shower of hits that the Yankees

worlds series.
The National leaguers had gone
runless for 20 innings up to the
third session OF this afternoons s
struggle. Then the outbreak Of hit
, ting started.
Stealing the Yankees thunder
as the latter had stolen theirs in
the previous games Of the series
in speed and daring on the bases
John McGraw's men, after spot
ting their American league oppon-
! ent to four run lead promptly
cancelled this advantage by driving

! ler Huggins' team, off the mound in
the third inning Then after the
score had run along in tie for
three more innings. they broke out
with an orgy Of hitting against sec
ond string Yankee pitchers in the
traditional lucky seventh in
ming, putting over eight runs in this
chapter and piling up total Of 8
runs and 30 hits in their eight in
nings at the bat.
Despite its onesidedneSs. the
game was Of the sort that tickles
! the fancy of the average baseball
crowd, and today's throns, despite
the partisan leaning Of a goodly
portion Of it was no exception. The
game was full Of thrills, brilliant
catches. DARN ; base running, and,
on the Giants side, long distance
hitting.
The crowd, with perfect baseball
weather to bring it out, was rec
ord breaker for this series. More
than $500 fans jammed the
stands and bleachers. They broke
the series record for noise and en-
thusiasm as Well The turn Of the
| Yankee adherents came first but
the hubbub they kicked up was as
nothing TO that Let loose by the
Giant fans when their opportunity
arrived.

limbered their vocal chords, their
cowbells and rattles, heretofore
subdued. and played the game as
hard from their seats as their IA
vorires did on the diamond. At
times whole sections Of the stands
seemed to be composed Of seething
waves Of yellow humanity. The
Yankees supporters We're dumb af-
;er the third inning and the close
of the conflict became a Giant car
nival.
The Yankee fieiders stood up

some notable defensive features.
One OF them was q jumping catch
in the second inning by Aaron
Ward, the Yankee second sacker,
which resulted in a double play.
1t was George Burns, the Giants
center fielder, however, who turned
in the most remarkable feat of the
game and also of the series. In
the seventh inning he started back
with the crack Of Pitcher Quinn S

on the run hauled down the drive
over his shoulder. close TO the CEN
