New-York tribune., 1921-10-10

lrlanLS came 10 sudden enU IN the
the worlds series, played at the P
vociferous fans, and the Yankee CO.
IN the slough of defeat.
The score by which McGraw'
through to even the series at two vi,
was TO .. The huge and tumult
anxious 80 cheer the achievements Of
battle, figure that is slightly belo
for last Fridays contest.
The receipts for the four games ex-
ceed those Of the first four PLAYED be-
tween the Brooklyn Dodgers and the
Cleveland Indians for the worlds
championship of 1920 by approximately
$4,000.
Many Of those who saw yesterdays
vicious struggle were holders of rain
checks from Saturdays postponed
game Hundreds of persons made the
mistake Of believing that Yesterdays
contest was the fifth, instead of the
fourth. and attempted to enter the
Polo Grounds on tickets for the fifth
game. They were not permitted through
the police lines that were thrown
around the stadium, and some confu-
sion resulted.
Fancy Rain Check Prices
Fans were in line outside the vari-
ous entrances TO the bleacher seats as
early rs midnight Saturday and these
sections were packed solidly hours be-
fore the game began. Along Eighth
Avenue and up on the 155th Street via
duct spectators who had come into
possession of rain checks for Satur-
DAYS game were selling them at fancy
prices.
The Giants subdued the Yankees yes
terday because Mays, pitching ace of
the American League. could not main
tain for nine innings the whitening
pace he had set in the first seven. In
the eighth he cracked, and the clawing
Giants tell on him for four hits and
mate issue. One OF the blows deliv-
cred in this merciless attack was
three-bagger that had behind it the
wicked bat OF Emil ("Irish') Meusel.
This was the opening gun that presaged
the collapse Of the Yankees.
Before that tremendous triple went
whistling deep into Babe Ruth's
patrol NAYS had held the National
Leaguers hypnotized under the dazzling
brilliance Of his weird sub-cellar de-
livery. He seemed we'll on the road to
spectacular shutour when the Giants
suddenly cleared the mists from their
batting eyes and swarmed over base
paths that had been barred to them.
The magnificent fielding defense of
,he Yanks remained unshaken, and the
runs that we're scored against them
were hammered out Of clean drives to
the outer gardens.
The Giants got themselves another
run IN the ninth inning, but they didn't
need it, as the Yankees were hand
cnFed by the dampened slants of
Shuffin' Bill" Douglas, who started
strong and finished with a brand of
twrling that prevented the Yanks from
launching anything that looked like q
threatening drive.
In the ninth inning George Herman
Ruth put across the second OF the two
runs garnered by the Yanks when he
snot the ball against the outer rail of
the upper righ. field tier for all the
bases, The horsehide bounced down
into the right field bleachers.
The Babes injured left arm failed to
keep him out OF the lineup and it is
probable that ne will be in his position
when the teams take the field in their
Hlth encounter this afternoon. Ruth
delivered two OF the seven hits the
Yankees made off the puzzling fire Of
Shufflin' Phil The gaunt slabman
rom the hills Of Tennessee struck out
eight Of his American League foemen
and allowed no base on balls.
Mays performance up to the mo-
nent Of the eighth inning wreck posi-
oly was more forceful and brilliant
'han Douglass. In the seven innings
ne allowed only two hits, one Of which
was decidedly scratchy, and issued no
pass.
The defeat yesterday leaves the
Yankees IN a strategic predicament
ihey have only one reliable twirler
ieft IN their stable, Wat Hoyt, who
famed the Giants In the second game
ana ne IS almost certain to be sent to
The mound this afteroon. IF he shares
,ae fate Of Mays the cause Of the
ianaees will be galvanized in gloom
II - possible that Higgins may work
Aarry Harper and leave Hoyt for to-
faorrow's battle, bat this isn't consid-
cred a. all probable. Bob Shawkey has
iated once, and il is not likely that the
ittle manager will take chance with
him again.
Mays started at great pace and the
,rlaN-s vent out in order in the first
ming. Burns was called out on strikes

ger ana Bancroft rolled the second ball
