looking for things until they find
them.
The biggest surprise of the moist
engagement was McQuillan's two-bag-
ger in the fifth. Hughie was supposed
to pass out of the picture swiftly and
silently What row he started.
The rain came down in torrents as
the National Leaguers hacked awav
at Mays in the fifth. The old almanac
always said that heavy cannonadine
produced a local downpour.
When Deacon Scott drew walk to
start the Yankee fifth the Hugmen
were hopeful, but Carl Mays fouled
out and Whitley Witt banged into a
double play. This method of cultiva-
tlon raises poor crop Of runs.
One of the greatest stops Of the
fretful fracas was turned in by jump
ing Joe Dugan in the sixth, with
Seattle Bill Cunningham as the victim.
l'Joey just seemed to throw his glove
| along the ground and the ball was
sucked into it like dust into a vacuum
cleaner.
Pancho Snyder knocked two bag
ger In the sixth, but was content to
stop at first base He dropped his
double along the left field foul line,
where Bob Mcusel retrieved it with
his famous right hand and arm. 81
think I'll call it single" mused
Snyder, as he halted at Pipp's sta
ton.
After the almost fatal first inning,
McQuillan sailed serenely through to
the seventh stanza before another
Yankee insulted him with base hit
Aaron Wards homer was the blow that
broke the spell.
Once again Elmer Smith failed as a
pinch hitter. He famed on Friday
for Hoyt and was called out on strikes
yesterday in place of Mays. Might be
I. good idea for Higgins to call him
out to-day before he leaves the
bench.
The Bambino continues to be
bust" as a bit of heavy artillery in
the Yankee attack. His best blow was
that long fly in the first A single by
Babe in the eighth would have tied the
score. He popped to Frisch.
The \ Yankees lack imagination;
else they'd be better ball club. Witt
could have scored on that long fly of
Ruth's, but seemingly that didn't oc-
cur to him or the coach. 1t would
have been new play for worlds
series, but the Yanks have given Old
Opportunity the go by often in this
WISE. Ruth has more intuitive insight
than most of his mates.
There'd have been rare old jam at
the Polo grounds day if yesterdays
game hadn't been played. that is un-
less holders of tickets for the fifth
game hadn't realized that their ticket
terday's rain checks been good for to-
day.
Wise ones were saying all season
that McGraw got the worst of it when
he spent $1,000 for Groh, that Heine
was on the down grade and all that.
Why. he's been worth 100000 in this
series alone.
Says Bob Connery, the Yankee scout:
Facing better pitching than we've seen
in the American League? Not at all
We face better pitching in the Amer
lean League. The boys are not hitting,
that's all" And yesterday the boys
were not running the bases properly.
Bancroft and Witt both singled in
the first inning, and it was the first
time in the series either lead off man
has landed at first in the first inning.
The Yankees were the best fielding
team in the American League, and
their fielding has been conspicuously
steady in this series.
Frisch had deuce of time hitting
Mays in the first game last year. He
raped Mays for four in that one, and
since then you could count on one
finger of one hand the number Of times
he has been on first base.
Jack Scott had hand In the Giants
winning batting rally Of Friday: Nc
Quillan in, yesterdays. Handy pitch
ers to have around Scott, McQuillan
and Hoyt are the hitting pitchers of
the series.
