New-York tribune., 1921-10-12


with their American League rivals.
Each side now has won three
tional victories to assure itself the
winners share Of the rich spoils.
S-rategically, in the opinion of the
writer, McGra~'s club this morning is
in much the better position os the two
contestants. The National League holds
By for the better hand in pitching, and
pitching IN limited series is just about
so per cent OF any teams resources.
The Yankees yesterday did not appear
70 such fine advantage defensively as
was he case in the FIVE previous games.
The loss of Babe Ruth, their big
bower seemed 10 affect team morale
greatly But the chief fault was medi-
ocre pitching.
The Giants unlmbered a vicious at
tack that was not to be denied against
such hurting as southpaw Harry Harper
and Bob Shawkey were able to show.
Harper and Shawkey both were dubbed
and ciouted hard in spots, fact which
doubtless made the Yankees appear even
worse defensively than they really were.
The greatest OF teams looks bad when
pitchers are being massacred.

held the Hugmen in the hollow Of mis-
hand. He set them down With two
hits for seven innings, and though he
issued four bases on balls, the Ameri-
can Leaguers never had an opportu-
nifty to profit by the generosity. They
were simply handcuIed by Barnes's
curve ball.
Barnes curved the Yankees to death,
that's all. and when in the fourth his
teammates hoped Bob Shawkey for
four runs and for the first time as
sumed the lead even the most partisan
American League rooter realized the
Giants were back again in the fgat
