went far for a fly from the willow wand
Of Schang. and groans of disappointment
filled the air.
Rawlings Gets Two Doubles.
Only four hits for the Yankees all
through that nerve tingling fray--only
four hits and five passes. while the
Giants got, to Hoyt for six drives and
four passes. All of the Yankee hits were
singles. while the National Leaguers
showed among their collection brace
of doubles, both contributed by the
ubiquitous, wonderful money player
Rawlings. He also got q single. giving
him half of his teams hits--f1ve of the
eight bases for which the Giants smote
the ball.
In the second round Rawlings hit his
first double and went to third on Il sac
rifice by Snyder. but Nehf forced him
at the plate. SO Burnss single, which
followed, went to waste. IN the third
Young walked and stole second. but
Kelly and Irish Meusel could not help
him. The fourth saw Rawlings slam his
| second double down the third base foul
line. Again Snyder sacrificed. But Bob
Meusel made a wonder catch of Nehfs
fly and Burns was called out on strikes
by Ollie Chill.
Hoyt Grows Stronger.
A single by Young went for naught in
the fifth, singles by Meusel and
Rawlings could get the Giants nothing
in the sixth. A stellar catch by Fewster
on Young prevented trouble for Hoyt in
the seventh, and In the eighth and ninth
the Giants were utterly helpless before
the youth from F1atbush. who grew
stronger as the battle progressed and be-
came more effective with time.
And SO they fought tooth and nail, an
eye for an eye, one smashing play fol-
lowing another. one feat in pitching
meeting the challange OF a mate. The
air cracked with electric charges.
Hearts thumped with the super-excite-
nent Of this great fight. One volley of
cheering came right in the wake of just
as voluminous n blast OF appreciation
and defiance. Men began to snarl bacl,
at neighbors in the stands. The spirit
Of partisanshp became intense. Bitter
words were exchanged then as the
Yanks found themselves unable to get
that run back from Nehf--whiIe the
Giants put up a sizzling, dashing game
In the field.
And so they carried their scrap into
the second half Of the ninth-the last
turn at bat of the Yankees. It was the
turn OF Pipp to attempt to strike, but no
Pipp strobe from the dugout. Instead
there came the familiar figure of Ruth
his elbow in a bulky bandage. but still
the same old Ruth.
Ruth Proves Useless.

| nothing. Ruth could not dare to bunt
and he could not take g. real swing. He
was useless. and he proved it quickly
with roller to Kelly.
| One out, and now for Ward. Nehf
was nervous. He worked too hard on

Finally he walked the second baseman
and as the great Baker carried his big
bat to the plate the air rang with
cheers for a cause which was destined
to be lost. "Come on you Baker. A
home rum" shouted the multitude-noth-
Ing else would do. The hero of other
world series would have to slam the ball
into the right field stand. And the en-
pattled farmer from Trappe set himself

To Mcc'raw came back pictures of a

IN defeat Steady. Nehf" came the
word from the dugout. STEADY, and
don't groove one for him. He's anxious
and he'll bite" said Bancroft as he
came up to Nehf with the word from
the manager
Baker was anxious and Baker did bite.
Two strikes were called. but so were
three balls. Baker fouled off four balls.
He was determined. and Nehf was
pitching with everything he had. If
only he could get by this destructive
veteran
At last came the feared blow. Baker
struck viciously at a ball which slanted
close In. and like a rifle shot II sped
toward right field. Rawlings who had
been playing over toward the bag, ap-
peared to be absolutely out OF the play.
Ward streaked for all ne was worth to
second and he still was streaking when
Rawlings set out on a desperate adven-
ture.
Rawlings Turns the Trick.
As that meteor was shooting into
right field Rawlings dashed with all
his speed to his left. then realized that
mere running would not do. The game
was In jeopardy---and then Rawlings
made the play OF all world series.
Doubling himself UP like q spring he
hurled himself at the ball. The second
bascman met his target just In the
nick OF time. Baker. no longer pos
