previously Babe Ruth, who three
times was passed by Artie Nehf, tllt
Giant moundsman, delighted the fan'
by cleanly stealing both second bass
and third. Hence the second piifer

two games of the classic made tht
Giants appear almost ridiculous il
their shortcomings.

the following inning. Including
these two hits, but four balls were

Friscll Star for Giants.
Again Frisch was the star of the
Giants. His work stood out in the
performance of badly worsted
team. In the early innings Of the
fray, in which Nehf was issuing
passes with great regularity, Frisch's
scintillant fielding twice prevented
Nehf's being scored OH. But the
Fordham flash was also one of the
rogues Of the defeated aggregation.
He fooled pop-hy in the center Of
the diamond that started the YankS
on the way to their two runs in the
eighth inning. ~
Nehf's game was Of peculiar
stripe. Although he confined the
Yanks bludgeoning to three safeties,
he distributed seven passes through
the first FIVE innings, and gave no
walks thereafter. Only one of the
seven bases on balls was cashed in
ct the plate. thanks to sharp fielding
behind McGraw's southpaw star.
Miller walked after Smith dropped
his high foul in the first and ad-'
vanced on Peckinpaugh's inheld out
before Ruth was passed. Frisch
leaped high, nabbed Meusel's liner
and doubled Miller off second with
his throw to Rawlings.
Pipp Walks in Second.
Pipp walked to start the second
and moved up while Frisch was
throwing out Ward. Frisch got in
the way Of McNally's hot grounder
and was taken off his balance by the
force of the drive, but as he fell,
reached behind him and with the
ball in his gloved hand, tagged Pipp
as he passed. Hoyt's handle-hit over
second and after two were out
passes to Peck and Ruth, filled the
bases in the third, but Meusel popped
to Bancroft.
Nehf's own fielding fault cost the
first Yanke run, which Hoyt hit in.
1t came in the fourth after Pipp flied
out to Young. Ward singled to right
and was safe at second when Nehf
threw wide to Bancroft for a force
out on McNally's tap to the box.
Schang walked and again the bases
were filled. Hoyt turned a grasser
to Rawlings, who threw him out at
first, Ward scoring. McNally was
doubled at the plate, seeking to score
from second on the play.
Ruth Scores.
In the eighth Frisch dropped
Pecks pop fly, but Ruth forced Peck
at second. On Meusels single to
center, Ruth reached third by fine
sprint and perfect slide, Meusel 60
ing down to second on the play at
the far corner. Pipp rolled out via
Rawlings, Ruth counting.
With Ward up. Fewster, coaching
at third, ran in and whispered in
Wards car. Although that is a rare
way OF conveying signal, the Gil
ants seemed to expect squeeze play
But Ward made no effort
to go after the first pitch, on which
Meusel tore in from third. Meusel
withheld his slide when he saw the
ball bound out OF Smiths big glove
and crossed the plate at a mere trot.
The Giants only real opportunity
to score came in the ninth when,
after Bancroft rolled out, Frisch pol
ed his single and Young drew
walk. Then Hoyt forced Kelly of
home run fame. to hit into a double
play, just as Mays had done with
Kelly in the ninth frame OF the first
game. Twice previously today Hoyt
had famed the slugger.
