Ihis run was all that Yankee root

tney arose en- masse to give it the
victorious yelp of triumph.
Oniy one run-but up to that
point Mays had been as supreme
as choloroform applied by the gal

an fmpregnable defense the Yanks
couldn't lose. The victorious sky
above them was clear blue without
a cloud. Amid the radiant jubilatiou
OF the Yankee filberts, Giant fans sat
IN dun and somber foreboding.
They saw in big Mays the stumbling
block over which Giants were falling

mystery of the underhand ball had
been solved at last, solved mainly
because Mays had pitched himself
out in early rounds and the old
jump was gone.
Yank support Good.
The Yank star had been moving
at too fast a clip. He looked to be
pitching easily and well within him
