Douglas Support Poor.
Carl Mays, sturdy upderhanded
twirIer of the Yankees, turned the
Giants back this afternoon in the first
game of the worlds series, winning it
3 to 0. With 80, 900 fans looking on,
the Yankees ace let the anxious Giants
down with five hits while his mates
took the measure of Big Phil Douglas,
who pitched a nice game of ball, de
spite the score, but got no aggressive
support from his teammates, who
found Mays to be worse than a Chi
nese puzzle.
Mays was expected to prove hard
hurdle for the McGraw men and he
was all of that and more. frankie
Frisch, crack third sacker of the
losers, was the only member of his
team to solve Mays successfully, get
ting four hits, one of which was a
slashing triple in the sixth inning. His
hit came after two were down, how
ever, and he died on third base.
Babe Drove in First Score.
Babe Ruth. whose big bludgeon had
done such effective work for the New
American league champions all season,
the initial inning when he poked a
sizzling single to center field which
brought Elmer Miller across the plate.
Miller had beaten out an infield hit
and was sacrificed to second by Peck.
The lone single was Ruth's sum total
of glory for the day, however, as he
walked on his second trip to the plate
and struck out twice trying to murder
Douglass curve ball.
The Yanks scored their second run
in the fifth. McNally started the in
ming with corking double and Schang
sa crificed him to third. While Mays
was batting, the speedy McNally stole
home on Douglas when the big fellow
wound up. In the sixth frame, Peck
raped a sharp bounder to Bancroft
In deep short. It went for a hit. Peck
then took second on a passed ball
Ruth followed his captain by whiting
neatly, but Bob Meusel cracked out a
triple to left center and Peck came
home with the Yanks' last run.
