Some day Bans eyes will fade and

M'CRAW To USE
TONEY TODAY
What is the Matter With the
Yankees? Question in
New York

Unable to solve the delivery of
Miller Higgins boxmen in the first
two games of the annual worlds
series classic, John McGraw's New
York Giants have placed themselves
in almost as difficult a position as
before they started a drive for the
National League pennant. The fight
ing spirit of the Giants has been
absent from the two games played
to date. Douglas and Nehf both
turned in real contests. but without
! runs they could not win.
Y The Giants nave a fighting ma
chine and they are due to hit
Burns, Bancroft, Young, Kelly.
Meusel, Snyder and Smith are bat
tiers they have been held hitless in
two gamSs. Everyone of these play
ers are overdue, and today is the
day they should pay in full. The
Giant team will hit Mays and Hoyt
when these pitchers are sent back
against them, and McGraw's men
should hit Shawkey, Collins. Harper
or Quinn, with the first mentioned
pitcher the likely choice for today.
McGraw's team never was boosted
as having a murderer's row. but the
Giants have been rated as a good
hitting team. Holding a murder
er's row to ten hits in two teams
is a feat worthy Of mention. Fred
Toney, the most likely Giant pitch
ing choice for today a be counted
on to pitch equally as good as
Douglas or Nehf. If the Giant pitch
ers can continue to hold their OPP
ponents in check, and McGraw's
men put a punch into their play. the
National League entry will come
from behind once again and cop the
championship.
The Yanks scored their first run
in the fourth on a fluky single, an
error by Nehf, a pass to Schang and
Hoyt's infield out. In the eighth
Frisch dropped Peck's pop, Ruth
forced the Yankee captain, the Bam-
bino went to third on Meusel's single
and the batter to second, and Ruth
scored on Pipp's out, after which
Meusel stole home.
Mays. Hoyt, Pipp. Ward. McNally.
Ruth and Meusel have been the
shining lights in the Yankee victo-
ries to date.
George Babe Ruth. home run
king of baseball. has not made a
home run in the two games of the
worlds series played to date. He
ahas stepped to the plate eight times
lin these contests, and made a hit on
his first trip to the rubber in the
opening game on Wednesday after
noon The Bambino walked once
on Wednesday and famed twice. In
yesterdays game King Swat was
passed three times, and on his fourth
appearance he forced Peckinpaugh
- second base.
This series would be colorless
without the Bambino making at
least one circuit smash. But it is
hard to expect him to make a four
base blow when he Is purposely
passed fifty per cent. of the times
he is given a chance at the bat. If
Toney pitches today it is safe to say
that he will pitch to the Bambino
and If he does, at least one homer
will sail into the stands.
Ruth's showing in the games to
date, however, has been a great deal
better than that of his early season
home rival. George Kelly, door,
