HOYT ABIG HERO
IN WORLD SERIES
Continued from First Paos.

Hoyt emerged from the series Of the
its heroes. So did Rawlings Of the
Giants These aren't the only ones. but
Rawlings. by reason of what he, did yes
terday. is freshest in series impressions.
He probably saved the Giants from tie
In the ninth inning by a stop both diffi-
cult and unexpected. and he was a good
man all throughout the week Of locked
horns.
The Giants made six hits. the Yankees
four. Hoyt had the harder game to
pitch. More Giants than Yankees were
on bases, and the Yankees never did have
the first batter up on first base. a fact
which shows that Hoyt had the moro
exciting game to pitch, but also. and Of
greater significance In the outcome. be-
speaks the high quality Of Nehfs pitch
ing.
The game would have gone into extra
innings but for Peck's error In the firet.
Probably two out of every three persons
there we're roofing for tho Yankees to
win. The Yankees have as many sup
porters in New York as the other outfit,
and there was the natural sympathy
which goes to the under dog. But It is
a teams business to see that Il makes no
slips to kick games away.
Errors twice in two days Offset practi-
cally invincible pitching for the Yankees.
but behind pitching as good and at mo-
ments when assures In the defence would
have been quite as serious the Giant
defence held steadfast. The Giants
should worry II their adversaries stubbed
their toes. They didn't stub theirs when
1t came to pinch. and to that extent
played better ball. And that's that.
Mostly Elemental Baseball.
The last game was In the. main Of
even excellence, alert. steady and not
ftashy by both teams. 1t offered little
chance to man9uvre on the bases, but
more to the Giants than the Yankees,
and with the man9uvrlng Of the Giants
making no headway. 1t was mostly
elementary baseball, but the elemental
well done; and when you do do elemental
baseball well you do the biggest part
OF It.
The Giants played like a team which
did not expect to lose. but the Yankees
did not play like team which expected
to lose. Always their heads were up.
They're a credit to their town and their
do better in world series. In this one
they had only two pitchers. two who
came through and proved their mettle,
but they were outbatted by a better bat
ting team and an alliance as game as
they are--both had the heart and tho
stomach-and they were licked fairly.
Which Is all there Is to II.
Hoyt put two men on bases on balls
In the first inning. Between the ambu-
latory pilgrimages of the Messrs. Ban
croft and Young, Frisch fouled out to
Pipp. Frisch. who started the series
like lion with the prod. finished like
q weary lamb. He didn't reach first
OFT Mays or Hoyt in the last two games,
didn't make q hit in the last three and
went to bat fourteen consecutive times
without making q hit An experience
which would teach him humility were
he not q modest young man and not
given to boastful utterances at the ex-
pense Of q rival.
With Bancroft on second and two out,
Kelly grounded to Peck, and the
grounder went through Peck's hands
and feet If he'd had his stomach down
there the ball doubtless would have gone
through 1t, for at the moment Peck was
all sieve. Bancroft came rollicking
home. and the ball game went blooey. or
fIooey. or whatever the word is when q
ball game goes blooey or flooey.
The Yankees had better chance TO
score In the first than the Giants did.
After Fewster had famed Peck walked
and moved UP on Milier's single to
right Bob Meusel didn't come through.
He popped to Kelly, an effort Of not the
slightest use. Peck and Miller moved
along on a wild pitch. but moved no
further. for Pfpp took a third strike and
the inning was over. Nehrs curve de-
ceived him.
Hoyt Shows He's There.
Hoyt's complete indifference to the
prowess Of the Giants. backed UP by a
SHIFT from n slow curve to a fast ball,
had the Giants hamstrung all the rest
OF the day and most 90 when they were
on bases. For instance. the McCraw
admiration society chuckled and yelled

opened the second with a two Dagger

Hoyt went to the showers, but It was
after the game. Snyder did the obvious

need. The next play was beauty
Peck came up cleaniy with Nehfs

the first ball. Peck threw out Bancroft,
following a single by Burns.
Only SIX Yankees foed the mark In
the second and third. and in the third
Peck rolled to Bancroft for a double
play after Fewster had worked Nehf
for four balls. Nehf had his moments
of unsteadiness, but he throttled them
quickly. Pipp and Ward singled in the
fourth with two out and a pass To Baker
filed the bases.

criticism among the cognoscenti. They
that Nehf was wabbling and
that Schang could have waited without
making matters any worse. That is
true, and the sight Of three on might
have disconnected Nehf to untold limits.
On the other hand, Schang is a good
hitter and got the ball he wanted, and
pitcher was coming UP next. Schang
gave the ball an earnest slam, but was
unluclsy enough TO limo II TO Burns. He
hit It hard enough and that II didn't 20

he did in the second--opened with a
two base hit along the third base strip.
Once more Hoyt reduced the Giants to
pysmies. Snyder sacrificed as of yore,
Nehf popped close In TO Bob Meusel
and Hoyt showed Burns a thing or two
by striking him out.
Fine Play by Rawlings.
