New-York tribune., 1921-10-08


There was a rending and a slashine
OF horsehIde, a drumfire of musketry.
q volcanic thunder of big guns, the
sound Of rushing, hurrying feet and
above all, the wild, four-cornered bat
tie howl Of the Giant rooter, who at
last, with his shackles knocked off. had
the chance to arise upon his hind legs
and let the welkin know that two bali
clubs represented the city Of New
York.
In this one great inning twelve
Giants came to bat, scored eight runs,
pummeled out eight hits broke three
worlds series records, drove two Yam
kee pitchers off the reservation, won
their first ball game, got back their
morale and promptly became important
factors where before they had been
only supers overshadowed by cluster
OF stars.
Frisch Opens Record Rally
in this weird. fantastic chapter,
opened by the Immortal Frank Friscil
with his batting average Of 200, the
aroused Giants got back in twenty
minutes enough revenge to cover their
first two disastrous, runless days. They
annihilated both Jack Quinn ard Rip
Collins with a ferocity Of attack that
was not to be denied. And once they
were under way the clear, nntram-
eled, stridcnt voice of the Giant rooter
was something we'll worth hearing, tor
he too had been waiting overtime for
this great chance. No wonder he put

this single spasm, Young make dou-
Bile and triple in the same frame. and
eight men cross the plate for q three
ply record harvest in SO far as any
post-season stands involved.
The Giants. by soaking Shawkey,
Quinn, Collins and Rogers for twenty
hits, beat the Yankees, 13 to 8, using
their bats almost exclusively for this
purpose. II was all a matter Of Giant
strength at the bat and Yankee weak
ness in the boz, for. in spite of the
collapse of their pitching caravan the
Yankee defense aiield held up its stone
wall balance Of the first two days, un-
wavering, undaunted, unbrolsen and
still on top OF gallant JOB.
When the pitching goes to Gehenna
the remainder of the team generally
heads in the same dill ection, but on
this occasion the steadfast Yanks re-
fused to be stampeded, closing out 124
accepted chances for the series with
out nlisplay to date.
Ruth's Crown In Peril
In addition to coming back with
rabid vengeance the Giants tossed an
other bombshell into hostile ranks by
offering up a batting star who now
that we're Ruth's. Upon the clalnmy
brow of frankie Trisch the multitude
tied the chapet Of olive boughs as
Giant supporters with howls of delight
hailed him as the new Mandarin OF
Maui. For while Ruth vas tanning

ran up his string to seven hits with an
other perfect day at bat, and the Ford
ham Flash is now bulging with the
proud batting average Of 200 for his
three first games. This lofty mari,

Az the third game got under way
With Bob Shawkey facing Fred Toney,
The massive Tennesseean, there we're
early indications That both were soon
headed for serious complications.
Family echoing, they both must have
heard the faint splash Of the cooling
shower waiting Tor them at the jour
