H0YT REPEATS AND
YANKS BEAT GIANTS
IN THE FIFTH GAME
CONTINUED from Page one.)

freely than in his shutout game Of
last Thursday, as the ten safeties
for the Nationals attest, but he
would have had another scoreless
game to his credit with little bet
ter luck in the first inning, which
witnessed the Yankees only field
ing bobble, q mess made by Nc
Nally of George Burns hard
bounder. AS it was, Hoyt won the
honor of being the first box man
to win two games in the present
series and of holding the heavy
hitting Giants to one solitary run
in eighteen innings.
Bob" Mcusc's Work.
Both on the offensive and de-
fensive sides of the Yankees play,
the work of Bob" Meusel stood
out conspicuously. The lanky right
fielder hit 500 for the day. with
a single and a double in four times
up, his double, as related, scoring
Ruth with the run needed to win
the game, and his own crossing of
the plate directly afterward MAX
ing the Yankees two up on their
opponents.
1t was Meuseps powerful right
arm, however, which proved the
most telling argument of the game
outside of the box work of Hoyt.
His quick throw to first on Ban
croft's single in the second trap
ping the Giants shortstop on the
way towards second, started a run
up on Bancroft during which
George Burns, who had started
from first on the hit and run tried
to score, but was caught at the
plate as Peckinpaugh shifted the
play to Burns and threw to
Schang.
Play Saves One Tally.
This play saved one tally, but at
still more critical point in the
game Meusers deadly aim proved
the factor which broke up a Giant
rally. and possibly saved the con-
test for the Yankees. 1t was George
Kelly who took chances with Meu-
sells arm after singing to right in
the eighth with Young on first and
one man out. Kelly made a gall
liant dash for second, but Meusers
throw was there first. One more
Giant then had to be attended to to
retire the side, and Hoyt induced
Emil Meusel to send up a high
foul, which Pipp got close to the
boxes after long run.
Babe" Fans Three Times.
The crowd of $4,000 which the
fine weather and the great inter-
est in the close series had brought
out, besides getting many thrills,
witnessed with mixed emotions the
surprising feat of Babe" Ruth in
striking out three times in four
times up, making his total eight
strike outs for the five games.
Babe has been playing under n
handicap. He injured his elbow
stealing second last Thursday. In
lection set in and minor opera
ton was performed. Every time
he swung his bat today his face
reflected the pain caused by the
injury. In addition, he had been
troubled with n bad leg, the result
Of an old pulled tendon.
Nchf Given Fine support.
The Giant fielders gave a good
performance of the defense, giving
Nehf fine support. Only one error,
dropped throw by Frisch, marred
their record. Nehf held the slug
ging Yankees to six hits. The Gil
ants inability to hit Hoyt effec-
lively was their fatal handicap.
George Kelly led his team at bat
with three hits.
The American leaguers did not
get man on base in the first in
ming, but the Nationals came
through with one run. Burns hit
to McNally, who fumbled, and the
runner was safe. Bancroft forced
Burns at second, Peckinpaugh to
Ward. Hoyt tried to get Frisch's
hard hit ball but it rolled over to-
ward short and Bancroft drew up
at second. Young was gwen base
on balls and the bags were full.
Kelly raised a Texas Lacquer to
center and Bancroft scored. Irish
Meusel struck out and Rawlings
ended the inning by forcing Kelly,
Peckinpaugh to Ward.
Mcusel Singles To Right.
In the second inning Bob Meu
sci, for the Yanks, singled to right
and advanced to second on Pipp's
sacrifice. AS Ward struck out
Meusel tried to steal third. Frlsch
dropped Smiths good throw and
Meusel made break for the plate,
but was nipped as he slid in.
Frisch was given an error.
The Yankees tied the score IN the
third. McNally drew base on
balls and went to third on Schang's
two base drive to left. Hoyt was
thrown out at first by Bancroft.
Miller sent a sacrifice fly to Meu-
sci and McNally scored, Schang
taking third. Peckinpaugh went
out at first on an unassisted play
by Kelly.
In the fourth the Giant outfield-
ers moved towards the fence and
the infielders stepped back when
Ruth came to the bat. He fooled
them by laying down a bunt, and
beating Nehf's throw to first, the
Giants kicking at the umpire's de-
cision. The crowd cheered Ruth's
strategy. He scored few minutes
drive to left. Meusel moved up to
third on Pipps out at first and
scored the last run Of the game on
Wards sacrifice fly to Burns.
