than the Yankees
The speedy attack and the strong de-
fensive work that carried the Giants
from the depths to the championship of
the National League were not in evi-
dence yesterday. The ordinarily steady

He seemed to be laborIng under the In
tense strain of the battle, ana he APP
peared nervous and uncertain OF HIM
self. A fine catch by George Kelly
saved Bancroft from one error, and the
kindness of the official scorer prevented
him from being charged with another.
Frank Snyder also showed up poorly on
the defense, and the hg catcher seemed
utterly at sea. He should have nailed
McNally at the plate III the fifth inn
ing when the latter stole home, and
again in the ninth only a great stop O.
his wild throw BIZ Frisch stopped an
other Yankee from crossing the plate.
Time and again the Giants had OPP
portunities to score, but they could
not come through with the necessary
hits. Young, Kelly and Meusel each
had at least one chance TO drive II
runs, but they were VIGOROUSLY weak
at the bat.
Frisch Star of Game
The work OF the Giants, however. was
not without its redeeming features, for
the followers of McGraw's team can
find much consolation for their disap-
pointment in the playing of F'sisch ard
the pitching of Douglas. Strange as it
may seem, the star OF the game was
not member of the winning combiua-
ton, but he was to be found in the
ranks Of the vanquis1cd
1t is no idle statement to say that
Frisch flashed one of the greatest all
around performances ever witnessed

at the bat, in The field and on the bases
was spectacular in the extreme. Fac
ing q pitcher he had never even seen
before, the former Fordham star
slammed out three singles and q three

plate. None of these safeties was
tainted and each WAS a clean, hard
wallop.
