Giants, "Shuffling" Phil Douglas
was crowded into a hole al me
start in the making OF which Je
had no important hand. His troI-
BILE began in the first when Raw
lIngs misjudged Ailler's grounder'
due in part. to an unexpected mop.
This brought Babe Ruth up and De-
fore "Shuffling" Phil had time to
think IL over the Babe slammed a
long single tof center for all the
Iuns that Carl Mays need over the
nine-inning stretch.
After walking Ruth in the fourth,
Douglas countered by turning his
full allotment upon the bewildered
Rabe, setting him gently but hrmly
la the phantom swing at the nex'
two starts. In the sixth, with PECK
On second, the Babe stood and

McNaIIy Steals Home.
All this happened ter Mike dc-
Naly had upset the bowl of cher
ries in the fifth. Mike was on third
ct the time with two men out and
Itiller up. Douglas, with his entire
attention centered upon getting tSe
ball to Snyder before something
large and round struck il in the
face. paid no more attention to Nc
Nallv than Greece and Turkey are
paying to the armistice. He took
his usual windup and as he did so
the fast flying McNally, with a big
lead off third, changed his forward
ing address to in care Of the home
rIate. The ball from Douglas CAM

Michael hit the dirt and skidded
over in q shower of dust, Snyde:
made the mistake OF tagging his
feet on the starboard side OF the
plate. Even this spectacular epi-
sode failed to lift the crowd To ary
great emotional heights.
With this run over, the Yankees
destiny, so far as the opener wac
concerned. stood assured. The clos
ing curtain came in the sixth. Ban
crofts wind throw to Kelly gave
eek a life at first and Bob Meusei
followed with a mighty mhack to
the fence in left center. This blow
snt Pck scurrying to clover with
tn third and final run, but in the
riCtous nthusiasm of the momcut
MCusel overlooked the slight detail
OF touching first as he whizZcd
around the tow path. This lapse
cost him a highly desirable triple
but as long as it scored a run. the
lapse was soon forgotten. Mays at
that moment needed another tally
almost as badly as John D. Rookie
teller needs another dime.
This blow OF Meusers, which
doesn't go as a hit, plus the single
and double contributed by Ruth
and McNally, were all the legiti-
mate wallops that "Shuffling" Fhil
allowed. He had his splitter in tne
control and his pitching to Ruth in
the closing frames was the work
of a master. But fate decided IN
advance to remove the laurels from
his clammy brow.
Hanks Upset Dope.
The Yanks got their, victorious
advantage by upsetting the dope.
The Giants were supposed to be the
smoother machine with the strong
er defense and the greater alert
ness upon attack. The Yanks were
supposed to lean upon the mauling
power OF their big bats. In place
Of this they offered an impenetrable
defense that was not to be shaken
at any point. Even Ruth, in place
