but Snyder pumped another wicked

one that broke the record for home

Shawkey's End
The fourth saw Shawkey's ruination.
1t might have been different if Umpire
George Moriarty, who seemed imparti-
ally unfair in his decisions on pitches.
had given Shawkey couple OF shots that
seemed 10 cut the plate. 1t appeared
as if the big catcher was struck out
before he singled in this fourth. An
out right there would have altered the
whole complexion Of the situation and
might have enabled Shawkey to pull
through scatheIess. AS it was, Barnes
followed with clean hit to left, and
when McNally pegged low on Burns's
sacrifice bunt the bases were filled, with

Bancroft bclted another pretty single
to left that tailed Snyder and Barnes
and tied the score again, Burns taking
third on Fewster's throw to the plate,
which carried triAe wide. Frisch
rolled to Peck, who tagged second, fore

play. Frisch pilfered second after
Young was called out on strikes. Kcl-
ly's easy hopper took an unexpecte d
skip over Pipp's head for the iiukiest
Imaginable single, Frisch scoring.
Schang cut down Kelly on an attempted
steal or short passed ball, Ward
making pretty play on the runner.
The final run came in the sixth, and
but for double play another 1ock Of
tallies might have resulted. Bancroft
singled TO left and Frisch walked. with
none out. With the count three and
two on Young the pair attempted q
double steal. Pep struck out and Ban

consecutive hit, however, and the Ford

Bob" Finishes Well
Shawkey finished out strongly. In
the seventh and eighth innings he
turned back the Giants in order. Young
led off with single TO left in the
ninth, but he was doubled az Kelly
struck out. Ward made a wonderful
play in taking Schangs throw. He had
70 leap high for the ball, but he nailed
the runner with lightning stab as he
returned to earth Emil Mcusel also
singled, but Rawlings also was called
out on strikes.
Huggins did the only thing possible
for him to do yesterday, except, per
haps. he waited too long before en-
| pioying Baker as pinch hitter. There
was spot in the fourth inning where
ScfAng was on with none out and where
Barnes's poise and temperament might
not have been what they were when
Baker finally was called upon in the
eighth. But, be that as it may, Hug
gins was forced to gamble with uncer-
tain pitching material, Harper and
Shawkey. He gambled and lost
1t strikes me that he is confronted
with quite as serious problem to-
day: whether to stake this afternoons
game on the possibility Of the veteran
Jack Quinn staggering through. This
gamble would be no more desperate
than that Of yesterday and could give
the hard worked Carl Mays and Waite
/ Hoyt, who could be used on succeed
/ ing days after, much needed rest.
AS the writer predicted or the eve
Of the series, New York's two clubs
have proved the most evenly matched
since tho sensational tilt between the
( Giants and Red Sox ir, 1912. 1t still
is anybody's series. But ! think the
further the thing goes the better will
be the chances of Giant victory, d
calculation based on the fact Of i
greater reserve in pitching and on the
