BASES; ONE SCORES
Continued from First Page.

to see Meusel burn that ball into Pipp
and catch Bancroft astray from II by
ten feet. That was another budding
rally killed in it's infancy by the longest
arm in baseball. an arm which reaches
out to four bases and covers space like
wireless.
It follows since the Yankees made
more runs with scarcely more than
half as many hits that their hits were
timely. The bats OF Ruth. Meusel.
Miller. Ward and Schang did the busi-
ness. Miller's and Wards helped with
sacrifice flies and Pipp's with an out
which advanced a runner to scoring
position. The Yankees played keener,
brighter game throughout. They showed
much better judgment In grasp of OPP
portunities and operated in a workman
like style and natural tempo In con-
trast to the tendency Of the Giants to
strain and muddle. The latter played
as IL suffering a reaction following
their valorous drive Of the two preced-
ing playing days.
Giants Plastic FOR Hoyt.
The Giants on their side were plastic
for Hoyt; he on his was conspicuously
resourceful in coping with numerous
trying situations. The Giants had plenty
Of men on bases with which to win the
game. but their efforts died out almost
with the starting. Hoyt did not work
at as high pressure as in his first game.
He took his time between pitches,
dabbed his bare hand in the dirt often
and served a compete of speed, graded
pace and a curve the Giants couldn't
digest.
The curve broke abruptly down and
out, and the Giants went fishing for II
the change of pace had them thrusting
forward and swinging before the ball
arrived. IT was the misfortune of Nehf.
who pitched with all due credit and in
calmer frame of mind than on the
first day.. to waste his good work for
the reason that his clubmates couldn't
carve out runs for him.
Gorgeous plays were scattered here
and there, and the game teemed with
uncertainty IL II didn't throb with ex-
element There was, in fact, good
deal of playing of the most skilful sort,
and for the uniform excellence of it's
fielding and bold attempts at base run
ming this series has been notable.
The Yanks took every possible chance
on the bases yesterday and were sue
cessful In all but one Of them. Their
running formed a material part of their
highly successful attack. highly SUCCESS

the small sowing
The influence OF Judge Lands has
been seen In the good department Of the
players Of both sides. Few series have
gone along 80 we'll in that regard. The
only ones to subordinate sportsmanship
and respect for opponents to rowdyism
have been Earl Smith and Casey Stengel
Stengel was put off the bench and off
the field by Umpire Moriarty yesterday
for abusive language" and after Mori-
arty had disciplined the Giant sub Smith
cupped his hands and sent some verbal
shaft at the umpire.
The first inning for the Yankees was
about as brief as Il could be---NIiiler a
pop fly. Peck grounder to Frisch. Ruth
a strike out. The Giants made a propi-
tious scart
McNaily batted Burns's grounder and
didn't rc~over II In time to nip one as
fast as Georgie. The Giants went right
TO the hit and run game, but Bancroft
mlsfired and grounded to Peck and
forced Burns. Frisch cracked a single
oft Hoyt's glove and four balls to Young
filled the bases. IL looked like an early
demise for the Yankees. or at least an
early disappearance for Hoyt. but the
big boy had no such IDEAS on tho subject
Even after Kelly had singled to centre

He had Irish Meusel's number, for he
slid up a ball which fitted by for
third strike with Emil Irish standing
there with HIS hat on mis- shoulder and his
mind on a vacation. Rawlings ended
the inning with a grounder which forced
Kelly, and the offence OF the Giants had
reached its zenith.
Bob Meusel opened the second with n

Meusel on second that way. Meusel broke
for third as Schang struck out, but
Frisch dropped the ball after putting II

Umpire Chill reversed his decision i'm
mediately. gave Meusel safe. which he
indubitably was, and as the ball rolled
