New York, Oct. o.-Much has
been written about the Giants hav-

series by virtue OF superior pitching.
Anything the National league cham-

games OF the current world title

Carl Mays polished them of

Waite Hoyt, Giant cast off, and but
few years ago a Brooklyn High

fine gloss today. The score was
identical with that OF the previous
days to 0-and the vaunted Giants.

Giants humbled today as completely

Giants Outgamed.
Taking chances unprecedented in
contests OF such importance, doing

In reducing the Giants to utter
detection today, there were two
prime factors, the superb pitching
of Hoyt and the reckless abandon
OF the Yankee base running, even
more apparent in the second game

theft of home. Today the ponderous
Bob Meusel duplicated McNally's
feat-and crossed the plate standing

Edward +. Meyer suffered an attack
OF typhoid fever and typhoid pneu-

by DR.. d. J.. Alexander OF Twin
Falls, was stated on the witness
stand by DR.. Alexander in the trial
Of LYDIA Meyer Southard, alleged
poisoner OF Meyer, her former hus-
band.
The admission is regarded as OF
importance when coupled with other
medical testimony to the effect that
the Vidal test for typhoid might re-
suit in positive reaction when ap-
piled to the blood OF person never
previously afflicted with typhoid.
DR.. Alexander also stated on the
witness stand. that in his opinion
Meyer was suffering from some
sort OF intoxication or some sort Of
poison when he visited the patient
at the hospital on September 3, four
days prior to Meyers death.
DR.. Alexander declared that within
his experience he had never seen a
case OF typhoid in which the patient
had subnormal temperature
throughout the progress OF the
disease. He said this sometimes de-
veloped during the recovery, but he
never knew it to be present before
the period OF recovery.
An unusual percentage OF women
and young girls were present among
the spectators at today's session OF
the trial, many OF whom did not
leave their seats for lunch. The de-
fendant preserved her customary at
titude of stolid indifference, although
