POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct.
10.-The sineYy right arm and brilliant
pitching of young Waite Hoyt baffled the
Giants again today.
Hoyt turned Lack the fighting McGraw
men in the fifth game Of the worlds Sc
ries by score of 8 to 1 and put the
Yanks in the lead once again. The Hug
gins men now have won three against
two for the Giants and HOyt has stepped
forward as the pitching star of the Sc
ries, having won two games. Ihirty-hVe
thousand fans cheered the Yank victory.
Once again it was Artie Nehf who went
0pwn in defeat before the Brooklyn
sehoOIby" Nehf pitched brilliantly, but
his work on the mound was not as fine
in the tight places as that of Hoyt, whose
teammates made their hits count. The
Giants outhit the Yanks, but failed to
get the runs.
The stick work of Schang, Ruth, Bob
Meusel and Ward coupled with a base on
balls to McNally accounted for the
victory. Ruth was struck out three times
ont of four by Nehf. but on the other
occasion pulled the unexpected by lay
ing down a bunt and beating it out.
The victory of young Hoyt puts the
Yanks very much into the worlds series
once more and they proved that they are
a team of fighting players.
Ruth. who got into the game again de-
spite his sore elbow. is undoubtedly an
inspiration to the Yanks. He said he
hoped to play the whole series. He col
lapsed on the bench today after racing
home with the run that put the Yanks
in the lead, but resumed play in a few
minutes.
The Giants broke through HOyt for
marker in the first inning. Burns got
to first on a boot by McNally. Bancroft
forced him at second and went to the
keystone sack himself when Frisch beat
out an infield hit. Young then worked
HOyt for a pass that filled the bases.
Kelly, whose bat has been very ineffective
during the series so far, came through
with a timely single to center that
brought Bancroft home. Hoyt got the
Giants out with no further trouble.
The Yanks tied it up in the third. Nc
NalIy walked. Schang came through with
a scorching double to left and McNany
pulled up at third, from where he scored
on MiIIer's sacrifice fly. In the next in
ming the Yanks went into the lead when
Babe Ruth started the rally by "cross-
A1g' the Giants.
~Instead Of swinging madly at the pill
Ruth laid down a bunt and beat Nehf's
throw to first. Bob Meusel knocked one
of Nehfs shoots against the left field
fence for double, on which Ruth scored
Meusel went to third when Pipp ground
ed out to Rawlings, and scored on sac
rifce hy to Burns In center. Burns then
retired the side with a brilliant running
catch.
Ruth collapsed on the bench from his
exertion and the pain in his left arm, but
gamely came out and resumed his place
in left field after a few minutes.
The Giants threatened on several
occasions. Meusel doubled in the third
with Young on base but there were two
down. In the sixth Kelly led off with
a single and in the eighth Young and
Kelly registered hits. but TO no avail.
Rawlings led the dying effort of the
Giants in the ninth, when he doubled
to start, but Hoyt, pitching with suberb
lriUiance, forced Smith to pop to Ward
and famed Snyder, batting for Nehf,
and George Burns.
