galloped over first undisturbed. while
the Giants danced and whooped, as did
all their followers. Nobody backed up
Mays on the bunt There was faulty
team play somewhere between Ward
and Pipp. One or the other should have
come up on the ball more quickly, and
one or the other should have covered
first. The play certainly found weak
ness in defence.
Instead of Snyder being out he was
on first and Rawlings on second with
nobody out. Douglas sacrificed and did
It well. The moves of the Giants were
without hitch. Douglas tapped toward
third, and Mays. a good fielder. threw
him out If Snyder's bunt had been
handled thered have been two out and
one run in. In that event Peck would
have been playing back and probably in

and one out Mays regained his guile

on weak flies.
Up to the sixth inning there wasn't

six balls to Miller and Peck in the first
inning. The first to Ruth was a strike.
making seven in succession. McNaliy
made the first hit single to right In
the third. with nobody out. Snyder
foresaw his steal, and from a pitchout
cut him down at second.
Pilfering was throttled every time. 1t
wasn't being done. Schang outguessed
the Giants on their only effort. and that
was when he called for pitchout on
Meusel in the ninth inning. The best
conceived effort to steal was by Roger
Peck in the sixth inning. He headed for
second on q delayed steal. and Snyder
and Rawlings woke UP just In time.

Ward sacrificed. McNally hit to Frisch,
who ran Pipp back, threw to Rawlings,
took Rawlings's return throw and caught
Plpp before the lengthy quarry could go
far. schang blazed a three bagger over
Meusel's head to the sign boards and
sent McNally scudding to the plate.
Peck made hit In the sixth with one
out and was caught stealing. Pep Young
ran for Meusel's empyrean fly In the
seventh and his cap flew of. Which
was the least of his worries, He made
a pretty catch. Ppp and Ward struck
out. SO did McNally in the eighth.
Schang bunted In Keiy's direction and
