Giants Outbatted
The Yankees
Sixth Game Of the World
Series Won by Giants Max
ing Contest a Tie

New York, Oct. II (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Forcing the issue
with the Yankees by powerful WORK
with the stick. the Giants evened
the world series count today taxing
the sixth game by the score OF to
5. Each club now has won three
games, and if the course OF the
struggle so far is anything to Judge
by the battle bids fair to so the
limit of nine encounters with a
great contest on the last day for
the final honors.
Today's game at the POLO
grounds. played in mild autumn
weather to a crowd Of some 81
600 spectators, took on for q couple
of innings the aspect Of q battle
of home run hitters. Meanwhile up
in the stands his damaged arm IN
a sling unable to play sat Babe
Ruth, the king of all the home run
ners, a pathetic picture OF bal1led
determination, watching no less
than three other men clout the ball
for circuit drives before the game
was two innings old.
Two of these men were OF the
opposing clan. The other was
Babe" Ruth's own substitute, the
slim and snappy "Chick" Fewster.
Substitute Fewster lifted the ball
into the left field bleachers with a
man aboard in the Yankees sec
ond inning, putting his club on the
happy side of a two run margin af-
ter the home runs Of the Giant
sluggers, Emil Meusel and Frank
Snyder. had cancelled a three run
advantage which the American
leaguers had acquired in the first
inning. There was nothing Of jeal-
ousy in Ruth's demeanor as he
watched all this and the one happy
smile observed on his face during
the afternoon appeared when
Chick" inserted his four base
blow.
The game ultimately went to the
Giants through a thunderous des-
cent upon Pitcher Bob" Shawkey
in the fourth inning which netted
four runs and gave Jess" Barnes
a commanding margin upon which
to pitch a game of consummate
skill for the remaining innings he
occupied the mound.
Barnes was Manager McGraw's
l,,'t ..f o,~4
the game Fred Toney did that.
Three runs and gone across the
plate on bit of snappy consecutive
hitting by the Yankees when he
was removed. Barnes prevented
further scoring in that inning but
IN the second single followed by
Fewster'S homer added two runs to
the Yankees total.
The Yankees scoring stopped
right there, however, Barnes was
their master all the rest OF the
way. He had the American bats
men constantly guessing, and usual
ly guessing wrong, striking out no
less than ten Of them. Every reg
ular on the Yankee team was fan
ned by Barnes at least once, and
Aaron Ward struck out twice. 1t
was Barnes second victory Of the
series
Manager Higgins also was fore
ed to a second choice Of boXmen
early in the game. Higgins first
selection. Harry Harper, the Yam
KEGS only offside twirler. lasted a
little longer than Toney but moth
ing to boast about. Harper got by
the first inning creditably but col
lapsed in the second, giving away
a three run lead with which his
teammates had supplied him. Rath-
er, it might be said, the hard hit
ting Giants took the lead away by
main force with the circuit drives
of Meusel and Snyder. Meuscl's S
came with one man or base, and
Snyder'S followed with but an out
intervening. Shawkey went in af-
ter another National league bats
man. Barnes, had tapped Harper
for single, ana worked through
until Frank Baker was put in to bat
for him in the eighth.
Shawkey took up the pitching
burden with the score a tie, and af-
ter he had retired the Giants, was
speedily given two run lead by
virtue of his own single and Few
ster's homer Like Harper, how
ever, he was unable to hold the
Yankee advantage. After baking
the Giants in the third. he was
found for four hits and four runs
IN the, fourth, while two hits and
a pass in the sixth netted the Giants
an additional tally.
This was plenty for the National
leaguers to win with, given such
work in the box as Barnes was
supplying.
Cheered on by the thronSs Of
Giant rooters in the stands and
bleache:s. from which eXultant
shouts for the Yankees in the
games early stages were speedily
drowned out, they breezed along
triumphantly to the. end.
FewSter's work for the Yankees
in Ruth's place was such that no
Yankee fan was heard making the
Babes" absence excuse for defeat
The spry Baltimorean covered lots
of ground in the field. pulling off
for ono thing :, rofrJip- catch of :,
foul fly close to the bleacherS. be-
sides inserting his homer into the
proceedings.
