The gate receipts of yesterdays game

Pent-Up Energy Unleashed
The Yankees carromed down to de-
feat yesterday because neither Bob
Shawkey, Rip Collins nor Jack Quinn
could muzzle the Giants guns or stem
an irresistible attack that McGraw's
men hurled at them The Giants un-
lcashed all the pent-up energy and ag-
gressiveness that had been suppressed
on Wednesday and Thursday by the
wizardry of Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt.
All the magic that Mays and Hoyt
had in the first two games was lacking
in the veteran Bob Shawkey yesterday.
The former COB got himself into
maze Of difficulties because he could
not find the plate. and when he did
put the ball over the Giants found it
decidedly TO their liking They raked
Bob's erratc delivery for five ringing
raps and got four bases on balls in
two and one-third innings, and obit-
Grated him from the scene in the third.
Jack Quinn, the battle-scarred Pole,
was thrown into the whirlng tornado
and lasted for three and two-thirds
innings, during which the Giants
sheled him for eight clean hits and
drew two passes.
In the seventh inning a hurricane Of
fire swept Mr.. Quinn out of the lot and
gave the Giants an opportunity to
shoot at the offerings of Two-gun Rip
Collins, one Of the Youngsters in the
Yankee string. Rip was as unsuccess-
ful in turning back the Giant attack as
were lis predecessors. He lasted for
two-thirds Of an inning and was re-
moved in favor of Tom Rogers, another
yearlng twirler.
Even though submerged under a !
deluge of hits and runs the Yankees
played their game we'll and were guilty |
Of To errors. They performed cleverly
enough defensively to have heartened
any pitcher, and in the offensive depart
ment they rose up in the third inning
all handed Shawkey a lead of four
runs, driving Toney out of the box.
"Shawk,r however, blew this safe-look-
ing margin in the Giants half of the
fourth
Jess Barnes relieved Toney and dis
played the best form he has shown in
many weeks. "Murderers' Row"-that
block Of Yankee batterers-reached him
for only four hits and no two Of these
were delivered in the same inning. He
was going stronger at the finish than
ne was at the start. The Giants fielded
sharply throughout the game, and
seventh inning Of long, hard drive off
9uinn's bat was one of the best seen at
the Polo Ground this season. The blow
looked to be good for three bases.
Giant rooters are confident that
"Shufains Phil" Douglas will pitch the
McGraw clan into an even break with
the Yankees this afternoon.
Yanks Out in Order
Toney pitched with great effective
ness In the first inning and the Yam
KEGS vent out in order With two

offer at the first two pitches. Both

s.c then Toney broke one over the
plate for perfect strike. He passed
one up on the outside and the count

foney great hand when the Babe
famed on the next ball.
The Giants had two men on bases
N their half, but Shawkey TUNED them
oaek. Burns went out on fly to Bob
dsusel Bancroft rolled a chance down

tng has been one of the outstanding
features Of the series, lined a fast one
70 right field for single. Young hiked,
frisch taking second. Kelly missed a
hard swing at close ball and then
grounded TO McNally.
The Yankees had a fne chance in
bht second, but potential run was
