Evening star., 1921-10-13


for the title.
Waite Hoyt. the perennial school
boy of Brooklyn. today stands as the
only barrier remaining to be hurdled
by the Giants in their quest for the
highest laurels of the national
pastime. The blonde and bulky
youngster already has two successes
to his credit. Has he the stamina to
earn a place witlg those heroes of the
hill who have won three games in
world series? Can he again triumph
over Arthur Nehf. the left-hander who
was his victim the other two occa-
sionS:
Inclined TO BE Dubious.
Followers of base ball. fans and
critics alike, who are asking tfese
questions are inclined to be dubious.
But even il the former high school
star does achieve this noteworthy feat
and again places the contenders on an
even footing in games won. Will II
not be merely postponing ultimate
victory for the McGrawmen: great
majority of the students Of the game
are convinced this is the case, for
even though the Yanks should win
today they would be in desperate
straights for pitching material to-
Shawkey. Harper, Quinn and Col
Inns all have been tried In the bal
ance and found wanting, and it would
be too much to expect of Mays for
him to come back with only one days
rest and hold the Giants in check.
McGraw, on the other hand, is well
provided for in the matter OF box
talent. He can afford to gamble to-
day with the youthful Pat Shea or
Nehf against the possibility of 4
ninth game. or he can use Nehf to-
day and in the event of losing with
him for third time have available
for the final fracas Jess Barnes. who
twice has performed brilliantly in
going to the rescue of mate.
Mays Carries No Blame.
II was no fault OF Carl Mays that
the Yankees todays are on the brink
of the world series instead of the
threshold of fame. Second Baseman
Aaron Ward is the unfortunate ath-
lete. Neither Of the two runs made
by the Giants was without taint. that
scored by Young in the fourth being
initiated by rap that Ward got
directly In front of. and which. al
though it did come at him on mean
hop. was no more difficult to handle
than many the same player has cor
rectly gauged. Young stole second
as Kelly famed. and scored on real
hit by Irish Meusel.
This was the only inning in which
the Giants were able to obtain more
than one bingle OF any description.
Mays did not issue 4 single pass, and
whitfield seven Giants. only four of
whom reached second base aside
from the two who scored.
What proved to be the decisive tally
resulted from an out-and-out error
on the part of Ward in the seventh.

The lone tally obtained by the Yam
KEGS was fairly and squarely earned
in round on Pipp's double, Wards
sacrifice and McNally' single. a SEN
sational bit of fielding by Rawlings
prevented more trouble at this juno
ture, but in giving due credit to Doug
las it must be said that on several
other occasions when seriously threat
ened he possessed the prOwesS to pre-
vent the Yankees, from getting ball
out Of the infield.
An almost exact parallel in the ac-
complishments of the two teams was
maintained in the first inning. rew-

outs.
There was analogy in regard to
the second inning. however. when the
Yanks broke into the run column
first, as they have in every game, but
one, the fifth. which incidentally. they
won, and here they were prevented
from doing even greater damage only
by a sensational play by Rawlings.

the foul line in left. advanced on
Wards deft sacrifice and promptly
tailed when McNally socked the first
ball pitched to an unguarded spot
in right. Mike was forced by Schang
and Rawlings robbed Mays Of q po-
tential double and the Yanks of
probable second run by leaping high
to spear the pitchers liner. The
Giants went out in order in their
half.

Fewster opened the third with a
ripping safety to left. He died at
