Babes injured arm and strained 9Q0f,
stated positively he could not play ,aN
today. But they've said the sane
thing before and Babe has come back.
Ruth has proven his value to the
Yankees In q dozen different ways
since the world series started.
His presence In the lineup lends
morale TO the HuSmen, OF course. but
the things he does means more.
His trick Of crossing UP the Giants
In the fifth game by bunting. when
everybody In the park expected him
10 swing madly at the ball. was just
one of his baseball stunts" and.
thanks TO II. the Yanks are leading
the Giants three games to two.
Yanlxs Going Strong.
The brilliant victory scored by
young Waite Hoyt. Ruth and the
rest Of the fighting Yanks has put
them very much back into the world
series today, even though Manager
HugRins is up against II for q pitcher.
Huggins, shrswd and cool-headed,
would not admit this.
I'VE went through long American
League season and got pretty good
pitching" said Hug. IT guess maybe
we'll be able to 60 through q short
series with the same staff. No, !
don't know just who I'll send In there
today. 1t depends lot on how they
look when they warm up"
Harry Harper was the logical choice
Of Manager Huggins to fling today's 3
eame, though he would not admit 1t.
Bob Shawkey, too. was ready to come
back at the Giants, but there was
doubt in the minds Of Yankee fans
that Huggins would take Q chance
on Bob the Cob, whose delivery was
mutilated by the Giants In the third
game of the series.
Jess Barnes and Fred Toney were
ready to 60 to the firing line for the
Giants. Manager John McGraw was
inclined to favor Barnes because OF
his fine pitching in a pinch In the
third game. but Toney ID begging for
another chance, and seems certain to
get II today or tomorrow.
The Giants, as q result OF yester'
days game have q real fight on their
hands now. They felt confident that
Hoyt could not beat them twice, but
the wonderful pitching OF the Brook
lyn school boy" has upset their calcu
lations and they've got q real problem
to solve.
Must Even Up Series.
First OF all. Mc0raw's men must
70 out and even up the series by
, winning today's game IL they hope
to have q further look IN. Then
they must face Mays and Hoyt again
and while confident that they can
repeat on Mays. Hoyt has them puz
"It's certainly tough on Nehf tina,
we can't make runs for him." said
Capt. Davey Bancroft. OF the Giants
! today. "Artie has certainly pitched
grand ball. Why, the kind of bal
he has pitched In both games would
win any ordinary ball game hands
down. Wen win for him the mex,
time he starts"
The, rival teams had another fine
day for the staging Of the sixth
game. The sun got on the Job early
to scatter thin fog and though the
air was crisp there was promise OF
q regular baseball afternoon. The
neIt turn OF the series. with the
