the prettiest plays that this fervid

Irish's Great Throw
Emil Meusel saved the Giant fat
from the fire by wonderful throw
that cut down F'ewster in the third
inning. Chick, first up, cracked the
bail against the wall in extreme left.
Emil, of with the swing, made a pretty
oare-nanded snatch and without the
loss OF an instant started the bali on
its aSserUive way to Bancroft. The
play was close and Fewster hooked in
prettily, but he was plainly out.

Question of Strategy
I think that in tre circumstances
Mays made mistake Of pitching to
"lrlsh' Mcusei. though as matter of
fact u "as q bad ball which Meusel
straightened out for single 10 center
mat scored this winning run. | think
also that Miller played far toe deep a
feld. Throughout the series he has
been playing back ten or fifteen yards
further than ordinarily Had NAV
hitting Rawlings he would have mad
possible play at any OF the three
bases.
Again in the seventh inI.ing when
the Giants scored The winning run
believe Mays should have passed the
dangerous Snyder 10 take crac.. at
Douglas and fer tHe same reason ad
Vanced IN the other case. In each
case 1t meant clogging up the base
paths with slow runners to bring up
the weakest hi,ters OF McGraw's ar
ray.
This second run WIS not alone a
tragedy but Il crime against Mays.
Ward boboled On Rawlings on the
easiest chance hc nod had in the seven
games. Snyder followed With long
double 20 left center. Miller did we'll
u hold the clip TO TWO bases, but he
was unfortunate TO boot the bali after
breaking it down with his bare hand
And then MS throw-ln, when ne did
finally retricYe, was faulty. Had he
peggcd TO Peckinpnugh. who was out
for the relay, Rawlings probably could
have been held at third or CIT down at
the plate. But .he throw carilen away

The pitcher had no chance to make a
relay. Immediately after The disaster
Mays struck out Douglas for the sec
ond time.
