RUTH STEALS TWO
BASES ON GIANTS
King Of Swat Shines in q New
Role in World Series
Game.
GREAT PLAY BY FRISCH
Yankees Now Have Won Two
Games and Their Rivals
None.
GREAT PLAY BY FRISCH

First Carl Mays. then Waite Hoyt.
The Giants yesterday were pitched to
another shut out downfall at the Polo
Grounds. The Yankees have the Giants
two games to none now In the world
series. and laid waste their hopes in
the second game by the same score as
in the f1rst--3 to 0.
Hoyt is Giant CASTOR and Brook
Iynite, 22 years old. While at school
|,n the borough across the bridge he
was sensation. He pitched Erasmus
Hall High School TO scholastic cham
pionship before he was Is years old
While still in his teens John Nc
Graw signed him with the Giants and
then farmed him out to Rochester.
The lad didn't like the up state
team and jumped his contract and
pitched outlaw" ball in the Shipyards
League. In II he was wonder. Then
Jack Dunn of the Baltimore Orioles
bought his contract and shipped him
TO Memphis. Harry F'razee then OBJ
tanned him for the Boston Red Sox,
and in trade last winter he landed in
with the Yankees.
Hoyt Attains Life's Ambition.
Brooklyn schoolboys who played
with and against him while he was at
Erasmus declared last night that Hoyt
had attained his life's ambition yes
occasions during his scholastic career
he predicted he would some day win
world series game and be heralded
as the greatest pitcher in the country.
Two hits Off Hoyt. three off Arthur
Nehf. The Giants prize left handler
hadn't quite the steadiness or the un-
shakable assurance of the strapping
boy who did the deadly pitching for
the Yankees. and he didn't have the
glittering support the Yankee pitcher
received.
The Yankees with only three hits
nevertheless waged confident and ag-
gressive warfare. forcing the lighting.
maneuvring and schemlng while the
Giants were static and getting no
where. The bold and ofttimes sue
cessful tactics of the Yankees. maxi
ing the Giants like it whether they
wanted to or not, did not raise the
moral tone of the Giants to exalted
heights or generate self confidence In
the camp OF that band of Knicker-
booker players.
Extraordinary Pitching.
The pitching has been extraordinary
in these two games. @nemic total or
seventeen hits for the two. and needs
an explanation outside the notable
efficiency of the pitching itself The
alien influence probably is to be found
In the crowded bleachers with their
raised curtains. leaving "A bad back
ground against which to hit. This
background is helping good pitching
TO be better.
Yet the dulness Of many pitchers bat
ties did not enter this one. II was too
uncertain In outcome. for one thing
there was too much at stake for another.
and for third there was a maximum Of
action with the minimum OF hitting. The
touch and go base running OF the YAM
KEGS. the bristlIng work Of their In
field. which has outglittcrcd that Of the
Giants. and several plays as scintiliating
az the stars. raised the game TO a plane
or artistic class.
Not that II wasn't faulty played here
and there. Giant mlsplays were costly.
A proof throw by Nehf. who had
cracking curve indiferently controlled
and not sufficient poise TO make the most
OF his abundance OF stuff nuffcd fly
by the brilliant Frisch and the poor
catching of Earl Smith. all counted In
