McGraw takes a certain pride in his
Judgment. For three years it seemed
that Kelly would fail to make the big
league grade. He was shunted to the
minors for development and finally he
was recalled. Last year he ran Babe
Ruth close race for the home run
leadership for a while. and yesterday
he declared a dividend in full. And
away back in San Francisco Uncle Bill
Lange listened to radio reports of the
game, And last night he wired Nc
Graw: "Some kid" McGraw wired
back: You're dam right"
In the ninth inning Arthur Nehf. the
hard luck pitcher of last years series.
held the Yankees safe. Aaron Ward
flied to Young for the last out. and. vio-
lating an ancient and honorable precept
of the game. he did not stick the ball
into his pocket for a souvenir. He threw
II high into the air and over the
bleachers on to the elevated tracks on
Eighth avenue. Then he Joined In the
race to the clubhouse.
The customers leaked out on the field
like a great picnic crowd. McGraw
emerged from the Giant dugout In
civilian clothes and started to run across
the field A few friends ran to him to
extend their congratulations. In mo-
ment he was recognized and surrounded
by several thousand fans. They raised
cheer and waved their hats. They
seemed to think that he. too. had some
thing to do with the winning of the
game and the series. They were SO
determined to say so to him personally
that 1t was necessary for the police to
cut a path through the crowd to the
clubhouse.
The scene after the game was sug-
-
big football game The customers
formed little groups in the falling
shadows. but at length rain forced them
from the stage on which one of the
most unusual of all world series was
ever played

The Yankees. with their great five
star pitching staff. were expected 70
win easily from the Giants. Some OF
the experts said they would win four
out of five games. Others said they
would win four straight. They we're
right except for the fact that IL was the
Giants that won four games while the
Yanks failed to win one.
The Giants. with pitching staff that
had stumbled almost blindly through
the National League race. did what the
Boston Braves did against the Phila-
delphia Athletics in 1914. They accom-
plished what even Giant fans thought
would be impossible.
Reports that Higgins and Bush had

-the game circulated as the players put
their uniforms away for the winter. but
the door was locked and no one was ad.
