Der Of the Meusel family--a break
which, if the game had been closer,
might have done his team an ex-
trcmely i'll turn. Bobs hit scored
Roger Peckinpaugh from second, but
unfortunately for the batter he fail
ed to touch first in rounding that bag
and was declared out while standing
on third. Some one in the Giants
dugout had caught the omission on
his part, and the ball was called for
and thrown to first, whereupon I'm
pire Moriarty declared him out
The Yankee Runs
The Yankees three runs came in
the first, fifth and sixth innings.
Miller opened the game with a single
to center and took second on Peck
inpaugh's sacrifice, Douglas to Kelly.
Miller scored when Ruth hit the first
ball pitched to him to centerfield. IT
was hot drive and brought great
cheering from the big crowd.
The Yankees got men as far as sec
ond in the second and fourth innings
in the fifth McNally opened with the
only double of the game, was advanc-
cd to third on Schang's sacrifice,
Douglas to Kelley. and stole home.
The third run came in the sixth
Peckingpaugh singled to short A
passed ball by Snyder allowed him
to gain second after Ruth struck out
trying to put the ball out of the lot
Bob Meusel hit for what looked like
a perfect three Dagger, but was call
ed out for not touching first base
After this inning only one Yankee
reached third base.
Giants Menaced Twice
The Giants threatened the home
plate twice. The best chance to
score came in the fourth inning with
Frisch on third and only one out. He
had reached first on a single to right
stole second and took third OH
Young's sacrifice. Mays to Pipp. He
was left there as Kelly struck out
and Emil Meusel grounded out, Ward
to Pipp.
The other chance came in the
sixth inning on Frisch's triple after
two were out. Young, however, was
not equal to the occasion, going out
Ward to Pipp. The Giants had men
left on second in the first and second
innings.
One Of the surprising things about
the game was the fact that while the
Polo grounds will accommodate
nearly 5000 persons. the official at
tendance figures showed but 30,o03
persons present. The upper grand
stand to which admission could only
be obtained by purchase of tickets
at the gates after they were opened
showed large stretches of empty
seats at the extremes of the stand
This was easily accounted for, how

readily been accommodated were
kept beyond the reach of the box
offices.
Crowd Divided
AS for the temper OF the crowd, it
was remarked that some degree OF
the enthusiasm witnessed at most
world series contests seemed lacking.
There was a plausible explanation of
this too. when it was recalled that
this crowd was one divided against
itself. with probably something like
a $3.50 split between Giant, and Yam

bursts of gleefql fans were not in
evidence when things took favorable
turns for one side or the other. but
simply at no time did the stands and
bleachers arise as one man to shout
the shout Of the joyful. Something
