10 more speed than the Yankees, their
fielding was not so good; but they had
the spirit to stick, better pitching and
they won when Bush weakened in the
eighth inning, after moving down the
Giants for seven.
The Yankees outfelded the National

ball, but they could not guard against
tue inability of Joe Bush to hold for
nae innings his fine form of six. The
