There were occasions for Babe
Ruth to rise from his slump and re-
gain heroic stature, but he could do
nothing with the curves that Nehf
hurled so carefully. After his sac
rifice in the first inning, his bat pro-
duced nothing but a srrike-out and two
Founders to Kelly.
Snappy Playing a Feature
Pipp's play on Bsncroft's hopper in
the eighth was but one of several
bright bits of fielding in the final
game. 1t seemed a piece OF retribu-
ton, for Groh had robbed Pipp of a
hit in the sixth. The most valuable
catch of the game was made by Ward.
He leaped and stopped a hard line
drive that came off Bancroft's bat in
the second inning when the Giants had
men on every base, flushed by the rally
that had already sent two of their COM
rades over the rubber. Bancroft also
got revenge. When the Yankees came
to bat for a last chance rally in the
ninth he crushed their hopes by run
ming far beyond the diamond to catch
Meusels s~kyscraping fly. Young took
care of the next two batters and an
other worlds series was ready for
embalming in the record book.
Bush walked Nehf for the second
straight time in the Giants half of
the fifth, but Bancroft hit into a snap
by double play, Ward to Scott to Pipp.
and Pipp took Groh's roller and retired
him unassisted.
Both teams went scoreless in the
sixth Bancroft tossed out Dugan.
Nehf threw out Ruth and Groh pulled
one of the prettiest defensive plays
of the game when he made a leaping
catch of Pipp's liner down the left
field foul line. Frisch singled past
Dugan for the Giants opener but Meu-
sci lined out to Ruth, and Young and
Kelly hit into force plays at second
base.
The Yanks gave their followers
something TO cheer about in the sew
enth by taking the lead. Meusel
scratched a hit to Groh and was sac
rificed to second by Schang.
