4.-The Giants. pennant WIN
ners of the National league,
made an eighth inning rally by
concentrating a savage batting
attack on the Yankees star
pitcher, Joe Bush, today, knock
ing him from the box and cap
turing the first game from the
American league pennant win
ners.
Over $4,000 people saw what
looked like Yankee victory
when the Giants came uneXpect-

consecutive smashing hits and
long sacrifice fly made three
runs. "
Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. A.
The two New. York. ball clubs-the
Giants and the Yankees-engaged to-
day in their second family fight for
the honors of the annual world series.
Thirty-fiVe thousand spectators made
up of local citizenry, with hundreds
from out of town flocked to the Polo
grounds to see the embrogliC between
the winners Of the National and
American league renewed after an
armistice since last October when the
Giants captured the Yankees, bag
and baggage.
1t was an ideal day for the game.
A coppery sun glowed in a cloudless
sky and there was a midsummer
warmth in the October air.
IF this weather holds we shall see
some pitching" said Bob Shawkey,
the Yankee hurler. for you can't beat
the old sun for oiling up soup bones"
New York Can't Lose.
New York took its local worlds
series calmly. Any team was bound
to win anyhow ard there was no
mad rush for the unreserved sections
in the upper grandstands and bleach
crs. There was plenty of room for
the early corners and there were
seats to spare at noon. The reserved
sections in the lower grandstand, with
every seat sold, did not fill up until
game time.
All the players of the two clubs re-
ported in good condition except Nc
Cuillan, the Giant pitcher, who was
slightly injured by a batted ball in
yesterdays practice and the "stone
bruise twins" Nehf and Bush, who
have about recovered from similar
ailments to their heels, and were
ready to oppose each other on the
hurlng hill today.
Babe Ruth said he was in shape to
play and did not think his wrenched
side would bother him.
Stick 'cm Over, Says Ruth.
Let 'em stick the ball over" said
the Babe, who hustled about the club
house. I'm swing all right. Same
Nball in both leagues you know, and
lit will travel just as far as 1 can make
- it if l get hold of it"
The Giants were the technical home
folks for the first game and were
early on the field taking a long bat
ting practice. George Kelly. first base
man of the Giants, crashed a couple
in the bleachers to the delight of the
throns.
Johnson, a right handler and Coach
Cozy Dolan took the pitching mound
during the Giant batting practice. Art
Nehf and Jesse Barnes were the Ma
tional league pitchers to take part in
trying the ranges of the field.
Capacity Crowd Out.
The bleachers were packed at I
o'clock and nearly every seat in the
upper stand was filled. 1t looked like
a capacity crowd.
The crowd cheered when the Yam
KEGS, family disguised as a visiting
team in suits of gray, came marching
at batting practice. Then an army of
photographers overran the field, snap
shooting every one in sight.
