H0YT A Big HERO
in WORLD SERIES
But Does Not Have Such Fine
Support in Final Game
as Nehf.
RAWLINGS STARS IN 9TH
Giants Win Title by Right Of
More Games Fairly Won and
Better Batting.

To the last hair raising out the
Giants and Yankees struggled yester-
day at the Polo Grounds in what
turned out to be the last game Of the
world series. With Aaron Ward leg
ging it for third with all the speed he
could summon after a wonderful stop
by John Rawlings on Frank Baker,
the ball was sailed with fine speed
and precision by George Kelly to
Frsnk Frtsch, and a scorching double
play closed the game with the Giants
winners. The National Leaguers took
the last game. took 1t by the close and
whitewash tally of ] to 0, and won
three straight from the Yankees to
do 1t.
1t is seldom any antagonist can beat
the Yankees, worthy champions even
IL they did lose this series, three
straight. Well. the Giants did IT, and
II that doesn't make them worthy
world champions nothing could. The
Giants won by right Of majority of
games fairly won and by might of bet
ter batting. They added to their pres
tige in as hard world series as ever
was fought, and in which the Yam
KEGS lost in prestige not an iota.
"Tell them how lucky the Giants
were!" exclaimed a fan as he passed
the press pen at the finish of the
game. The Giants were lucky. None
can gainsay that. Most world series
winners have the better of fortunes
favors and the Giants basised In the
sunlight Of fortunes smiles more than
a world series winner usually does.
But that factor Is. by the way. Arthur
Nehf. pitching against the Waite Hoyt,
the best young pitcher In the whole
professional arena, and who came
through with another display of skill,
sand and sang froid-bordering close
upon contempt for the Giant batters---
pitched splendidly himself. He and his
support. which fiared to its brightest
blaze when there was most need of It
that is, the ninth inning--did work
which makes n team champion Of cham
pions. Hoyt pitched superbly and made
the best hitters of the Giants look like
suckers" IL you are familiar with such
modern phrases. but for every helpless
batter on the Giant side there was one
Yankee phalanx. and in the way of pitch
ing which completely overtopped the
lads OF the ashen utensils suckerdom
took its victims equally from each side.
Peck Makes ~ Mess.
Hoyt pitched shutout bail. but so did
Nehf, remember that, and he had better
support than Hoyt That Hoyt didn't
have as good support az his southpaw
rival was his misfortune and not Nehf's
fault. Hoyt's backing had but one blot.
but that blot was fatal. A miss by
Roger Pcckinpaugh of ground ball
about which there was nothing difficult
let In the only run Of the game, and
with two out This was In the first
inning, and In that round the Giants
didn't make n hit or anything bearing
resemblance thereto
The biggest ovation of the game was
given to Hoyt when he walked to the
bench for the Yankees ninth inning
He smiled, and Il was no forced smile
either. but the smile OF youngster who
was pleased that he had pleased his
we'll wishers, as well as one putting a
brave front on adversity and not con-
sidcring defeat In baseball series ths
