Strategy Failed to Work
 The Little Napoleons strategy failed to jell He figured Mays would be unbeatable for the first game. so rather than waste Nehf against such a good man, he elected to hold his ace in re- serve until the second game, when the Tanks would have a mediocre boxman to send against him. He figured Artie would be invincible. And that part of his figuring worked out to tee. The main trouble was that he un- derestimated Hoyt.
 Nehf came through just as Mo- Graw had expected he would. Holding the Tanks to three hits was all any manager, could ask for. However, Nehf's support was not what world series cast should dish out, and with Hoyt tearing along at such a lightning speed the Giants really never had a chance, any way.
 Hoyt is really the man who threw the monkeywrench into the machinery Hoyt surprised the Giants, his team mates, the Yam kee packers and himself by theN sterling performance he put up :, Thursday. afternoon.v.Never did world series pitcher perform any more creditably or sensation ally than Hoyt In the second en- te,, .f l.
 
 Not the Giants of Old
 There is something lacking somewhere in the Giants make up. They don't look like the fighting aggregations who for merly battled for McGraw. There's too big leakage; there's not enough pep; there's a total shortage of zip and zest. And there's one thing certain, his two best catchers will never be troubled with insomnia. In the initial affair Snyder took a nap and allowed McNally to make a clean steal of home. This per- forniance nauseated Muggsy. He gave Snyder a piece of his mind and a rest. Thursday he elected to switch catchers and sent Earl Smith In behind the plate to re- ceive the offerings of Nehf. The sleeping sickness attacked the smith boy, too, and We find Bob Meusel sneaking home for {, theft, while Bambino Ruth. pulls his 200 and some odd pounds around to second base for a steal, n a nexes his second consecutive steal by going to. third while the pitcher wound up and the catch CT unwound. When a man of Babe's heft, tonnage and speed age can pull consecutive steals of second and third. It looks like something is wrong. Maybe the Giants have been getting hold of some 16 per cent home brew. Who can tell.
 Ruth vs. Kelly
 As the battle between Ruth and Kelly unwinds itself. the Bam- bino stands over Kelly like a dollar over a rouble. Kelly was a complete failure in the initial fracas and Thursday he acted again like a paralytic when he came to bat, The mighty Giant \ first sacker struck out on his first trip to the platter. On his second attempt he whiffed again. In the seventh he forced Young at second with a weak ground CT, and in the ninth he booted chance of becoming hero. . With only one down, Frisch sin gled and Young walked With two men on. Kelly had a chance to pole, out one of his famous clouts and tie the game up. In- stead he flivvered miserably and brought the game to a climax by hitting into a double play. He ended Wednesdays game by hit ting into a double play also,
 Bambino, on the other hand, made Nehf have respect for him. In the first frame. with Miller on second, Nehf purposely walked Bambino. With two men on in the third. Ruth again drew com plimentary ticket to first. which was voluntarily bestowed upon him by Nehf. Tn the fifth Babe walked for his third consecutive time. A few moments later he stole second and third. In the eighth he came up for his last time. and his best effort was an
