There was absolutely no possible Sc
qlenee in offensive punch as result
:" IN Baker, Schang and Meusel
punched behind Fewster and Peel, a
concerted wallop might have develoDed.
1he Giants scored the only run of
the game in the first inning. Baker
Inrew out Burns, and Bancroft walked
Frlsch fouled to Ppp. Chill missed
a perfect third strike on Young and
sent MN to first, despite Hoyt's plain
i've oieatlngs. This decision meant the
lowed Kelly's shot to dribble between
ms legs. He slightly broke down the
oa!i' but stood dazed q few seconds
before giving pursuit as Ecwster dashed
frantlcally in after it When Peck
hnaliy retrieved it it was too late to
attempt to cut down Bancroft at the
plate. Even Younf raced to third from
nfst on the error. but was left when
Emil Meusel hit to the box.
Rawlings Some Svatter
Thereafter Hoyt pitched ball Of
whlch Mathewson at his best would
DC D, proud: Rawlings, who was the
clouting hon of the afternoon, opened
the second and fourth innings with
he-man doubles down the left chalk
mark, but he did not score. On each
occasion McGraw had Snyder sacrifice
the runner to third-a somewhat mysti-
lying procedure in the circumstances
IN the second inning Rawlings was
snuf'ed at the plate when Nehf hit to
teck. 1t was & smart play. Rawlings
tired IN vain to duck under Schang
wnen the latter ran him down. Also It
was saving play, as Burns followed
with clean single. Peck immediately
smothered Bancroft with fine ston
and perfect throw.
In the third inning, after Snyder had
sacrificed Bancroft to third Nehf
boosted to Bob Meusel. too short for q
sacrifice, and Burns struck out.
Young singled, with two out in the
ifth, but Kelly whitfield.
irish Meusel opened the sixth with
swat through the box. He was caught
stealing. Rawlings scratched a Texas
ieasuer IN behind Pipp almost imme-
fou.ed to Baker
Burns drew a questionable pass start
ing the Giant seventh. 1t looked very
much as if he took cut at q low dron.
he was the last Giant to reach first.
The next nine batters went out in
ofcer on comparatively easy chances,
Bancroft, Kelly and Nchf tanning.
Inc Yankees best chance was pre-
sented IN the opening inning. while
N@hf was Wild as a hawk. With a
count Of three and two Eewster chased
2 curve foot wide for the first strike.
Peck waited and Miller singled to
right. The two moved along on wild
pitch. But Meusel popped high to
helly and Pipp famed at wide one.
Peck hit to Bancroft and into n double
o'ey after Fewster had walked away
E.th one out in the third. Singles by
F.pp and Ward and a pass to Baker
h.led the bases for the Yankees in the
fourth. But two were gone and Schang
belted straight at Burns. Peek, who
walked with two out in the fifth, was
forced by Miller. Nothing more
eventuated then till the seventh when,
With two down, Hoyt singled to center
He was forced by Fewster. The side
went out in order in the eighth. The
sensational ninth inning finish has
been described.

ball to Urge Curtailment
in Interest of Public

Judge K. NJ. Lands, high commits
sioner of baseball, at the Commodore
Hotel last night issued tho following
statement concerning the worlds series
games:
ut has been very great series. In
every department of the game the
highest skill was exhibited. and con-
graduate every player on having main
tanned the best traditions Of this great
annual event.
81 deem it appropriate at this time
to announce that at the mid winter
joint session Of the two major leagues
the commissioner will offer for adop-
ton a proposal that the worlds series
be limited to seven games.
This viii be done in tho belief that
it is very generally accepted that the
ideal world championship is decided
by the winning of four games, as was
the rule prior to 1910. A five-game
series. the championship to be awarded
the club winning three victories, is
too short for fair test; on the other
hand. the present lengthy series over
taxes the patience of thc public.
very strongly that there is a real
menace to professional baseball from
public reaction against financial re-
turns running into tho figures ex-
pressed by the receipts Of the series
just closed.
"Obviously, lower admission prices,
which are now within the commits
sioner's control, and shorter series,
being more in harmony with the high
est place Of craftsmanship, will better
sustain the public's confidence, which
the game demands and must deserve.
"It is the commi ssioner's conviction
that the public is happy to support
professional baseball both enthusiasts
tically and financially, provided the
public's love Of the great sport be the
inspiration Of owners and players alike.
OF course, the probabilities are the
present situation would not arise again,
even under the existing schedule, but
the possibility should be avoided
"In this connection it may be OBJ
served that if the present-day game,
with its high standards OF play, is to
continue. the maintenance of modern
parks and cost Of training players, the
heavy expenses OF transportation, hotel
bills, etc, most likely will preclude any
general reduction OF admission prices
through the regular playing season"
