GAMES FROM THE YANKS

to grow better and better, but with
Bush pitching as well as he did for
two-thirds of the distance to the
end, q little slowness now and then
did not matter much at the time.
The Yankees simply could not
run the bases well. Their exper-
fences on Saturday left them sad
der but apparently no wiser in
wlat branch of their business. This,
at least, was the impression they
gave in the fifth inning, whep, ar
ter making one run, they tossed
away the hope of another when
Scott was boxed on the third pase
line after Bush had singled.
Scott Overruns Bag.
The single by Bush was dropped
in center field and Ward scored on
it. Scott, who had singled just be-
fore Bush. went to third safely.
Higgins was coaching there. Some
thought the Yankees had learned
a lesson yesterday when McGraws
outfielders twice returned hits so
speedily that runners were tagged
between bases. Today was another
day with Scott. however. He over
ran the bag and was caught. Fac
ing the fast breaking curves Of
Nehf, the Yankees, as had been
their custom through all the series,
plugged along for one run at
time, while the Giants stuck to
their worth while habit OF letting
the hits fall where they might in
the hope of rushing several run
ners over the plate. The Yankees
were held to five hits by Nehf.
A single by Dugan, a sacrifice by
Ruth and Pipp's single gave Bush
one run to start with in the first
inning. The Giants took the lead
in the second, getting two runs on
Meusel's single, Young's walk,
Kelly's sacrifice and single by
Cunningham. The Yankees tied
the count in the fifth at two all.
Ward walked and was sent around
the circuit by singles hit by Scott
and Bush. Again in the seventh
the Yankees forged ahead Meusel
scratched a hit that Groh fumbled.
He was sacrificed to second by
Schang and given trip to third
on a wild pitch. Scott's sacrifice
fly sent him home.
Ruth Could Do Nothing.
There were occasions for Babe
Ruth to rise from his slump AND
regain heroic stature, but he could
do nothing with the curves that
Nehf hurled so carefully. After his
sacrifice in the first inning his bat
produced nothing but a strike oui
and two Founders to Kelly.
Pipp's play on Bancroft's hopper
in the eighth was but one of severa'
bright bits of fielding in the fina'
game. 1t seemed a piece of retri.
button. for Groh had robbed Pipr
of hit in the sixth. The most val
liable catch of the game was made
by Ward. He leaped and stopped
a hard line drive that came of
Bancroft's bat in the second in.
ming when the Giants had men or
every base. flushed by the rally
that had already sent two of their
comrades over the rubber. Ban
croft also got revenge. When the
Yankees came to bat for last
chance rally in the ninth he crush
ed their hopes by running far be-
yond the diamond to catch Meusers
sly-scraping fly. Young took care
of the next two batters and an
other worlds series was ready for
embalming in the record books.
