New York. Oct. ll.--Fighting With

series count OF games won and lost
at three and three. They won by
an S-S score. vigorous scrap that
opened as free-slugging affairs and
developed into a pitchers battle in
which Jesse Barnes outshone the an

| Batted From Box.
II was the second time in the six
games Barnes was called upon to
face the Yankees after Fred Toney,
the ponderous right-hander, had been
batted from the box. On both oc-
casions the American leaguers led 5
TO 0 when Barnes went to the mound
and each time the Giants overcame
the handicap and hit in a victory Tor
the tall Oklahoman.
Toney was less effective today
than in his previous start in the third
game of the series. Then he lasted
for two and third innings; today
he opened with walk to Chick
Fewster, Babe Ruth's substitute, and
before Barnes was franticaliy sum-
moned to the rescue the Yanks had
combed the big fellows fast nnes for
three sharp singles, counting three
runs.
Miller Higgins gave his left
handler, Harry Harper, his chance to-
day, but walk and home runs by
Irish Meusel and Frank Snyder, fol-
lowed by a single by Barnes, tied the
score in the secoad inning and that
did for the Hackensack boy. Shaw
key went the rest of the route and
lost the game in the fourth, the fatal
inning of more than one world series
of other years.
Giants Regain Lead.
When the Giants had knotted the
run count and driven Harper from
the pitching peak, the Yankees pro-

But in the fourth, the Giants

Frank Frisch, produced four runs
and won the contest and brought

is another story.
Barnes Tightens Up.
