WORLD SERIES ARE
 EVEN AT TWO EACH
Tanks Helpless Before Curves of Douglas Giants Hit We'll

/, New York, Oct. 12.-On even terms again Tanks and Giants meet today l in the fifth game of the world series | and may elect to try for the edge with the hurlers they used in the second contest-Waite Hoyt for the Ameri- cans and Artie Nehf for the Nation I als The Giants rallied to a hitting | bee against underhanded Carl Mays yesterday whilef 'Shufflin'" Phil I Douglas tossed his freakiest curves and won their second game, 1 to, 2. Hoyt. the Brooklyn youth who shut out the Giants in the second meeting of the teams allowing but two hits, 1 one a scratch, appears to be Huggins' I only hope to put the Tanks in front ! again. Giant partisans declare he cannot possibly maintain the hurling pace he set on last Thursday, while l the Giants themselves, vow they'll 1 pummel the shoots of any pitcher 1 Huggins sends to the rubber.
 There has been a lot of talk about
 the Giants lost and. found batting 1 eyes Now the Tanks are having their say. The Tanks made runs out of fluky hits and great base running
 in the first two games but. they were l helpless in the hands of Jess Barnes on Friday and Phil Douglas yester- l day. Now they're sore, and assert they will pound Nehf. or any others | noundsman McGraw sends against ] them.
 l My team hasn't batted anywhere close to form.' declared Miller Hug gins. Ut is improTt4 h that they will gn through the e1l a series without having several batting rampages You may look for one at any time now" l Ruth's injured arm did not keep ! him from playing and making his | first home run of the series yesterday. and he is almost certain to play as long as he is needed. The presence of the Babe in the game means as much to the Tanks in a psychological sense as it does in any other way. he | is there with his head and his repu- tatton even when his arms are weak. 1 Snvder,s work behind the bat for the Giants has been impressive in the Hast two games. He appeared weak in the opening contest. but seems to have found himself, again, both behind the plate and at bat. Schang, hia
 Yankee opponent still is going at hig' l speed. His long hit in yesterdays game scored the first Tank run anH I if looked like a winner until Emil l Meusel tore into Mays foaters for a
 triple in the eighth. X~
 While yesterdays game lacked any l of the sensational thrills that has marked the others, it was an interest l ing one to watch. There was Mays, l hurling hitless ball for five innings I and Phil. Douglas keeping his hits fairly we'll scattered in the meantime. 1 Tn those five innings he forced the ! Giants to roll easy taps to the 1n- nelders, only three balls going to the | outfeld. Douglas spitballs were earn I ing him strikeouts and both teams fielding in good form.
 Aaron Ward carried on his perfect
 work at second for the Tanks sccept-
 ing nine chances without an error.
 Ruth,s homer in the ninth sailed Hong and true to the rightfield bleach
 CTS and was the one bright spot In the the fading hopes of the Yankee root ers The Babes feat was given noisy
 hand, but while it enabled Babe te
 realize an ambition it didn't satisfy
 him nearly so much as If it had scored two runners ahead of him.
 l"Just like Coveleskie at his best
 was a Cleveland fans compliment on
 Douglas pitching He said the Giant
 hurler worked almost exactly like I"Covey' in the last years series oi which he was a star.
 One fan sitting near the Tank dug
 out, tainted when he was hit on the foot by foul tip during practice. He | repulsed two attendants who tried to lead him out after. he had recovered
 declaring he had paid to see a worle l series game and Intended to get hi moneys worth.
 l You had better warm up Hoyt c j. Mays there" yelled the Giants iron n their bench to the Tanks in practice l. out of the box Hoyt did warm up bu n not untlt the eighth when May e weakened The subway shot artis n stuck to his task however.
 q Wild scenes of joy in the Giants
 clubhouse after the game. Everybod = including the policeman on guard a d the outer door was happy.
 q Next door, in the Tanks home
 there was less noise but no keen dis g couragement. The players dresse l. quickly and hurried away hoping fo
 an early supper and a better day to
 day.
 Hundreds of fans who have attend
 ed every game Of the series hoping t
 be present Mhen Babe Ruth hit
 homer, were out when the Bambin $ clouted foR four bases m the nlnt
 yesterdav. eorlv to avoi d the crush thinking the game was a
 good as over.
 The Tanks were happy in thei r dugout before the game with the ban : along side them. Better save yo,l
 joy until later' the Giants yelled t y them. But the band played on and tn 'x Tanks danced to the music. Later the
 danced to Dnat~f ,a' pitching but = wasn't music to them.
 ,,e Emil Meusel one of 1 tho Giants :. hitting stars has jumped far ahead Q ,' brother Bob in their dinner series. !. He is hitting 357 while Yankee Boh' ~ average is only 900
