The violent detection of the BALM
was no small part Of the Yankee
overthrow. Most of the games were
close enough. and If Ruth had been
hitting the size of his collar the
series would be under way. When
a battery commander opens fire on
hostile trenches and suddenly finds

was no matter of Ruth not hitting
home runs. The big break came
when he failed to hit at all.
Overnnxious mt End.
Ruth did his best. but near the
| finish he was overanxious. The
| harder he tried the worse he looked.
This Yankees opened the final bat
tie as II they meant to win one
game at least Dugan's single.
Ruth's sacrifice and Pipp's hit scored
run in Jiffy off Art Nehf In
their half Meused singled. Young
along. Cunningham then ripped off
single to center that brought two
runs over and left the Yankees once
more Gaping for fresh air. The
Yanks, in the fifth. had another
great chance. But once again ths
brilliant. brainy defense broke up
their attack.
With one out Ward walked and
Scott singled. Joe Bush raped a
| low line drive to right center that
sounded like an exploding shell.
At this spot the genius of the Giant
defense came into play. on the
drive from Bush, Ross Young cut
across from right on great play. in
tercepted the ball and whipped it
to Frank Frsch. backing up Frisch,
knowing that Dugan on his way to
| third would almost surely round the
bag and stand ready for the cnance
to score. whipped the ball straight
and true to Groh. The ball got to
| Groh's glove at almost the exact
instant of Scott's turning third and
when the Yankee shortstop pulled
up six feet over the bag. he was
securely trapped. There was moth
ing left for Scott to do but start for
home. and here the queerest play OF
the series came up. Caught in the
chase, Scott finally dived by Sny-
der along the lines as Snyder took
Groh's throw. The big Giant
catcher. caught in an awkward po-
sition as Scott rushed by, tagged the
| Yankee runner with his right ell
bow in place of ball or glove. The
ball itself never came within ten
! inches Of Scott, but KLEIN called

mitt. The Yankees howIed loudly
and with plenty justice. This de-
cision cost them a badly needed
! run. But when ball club be-

understand with what effect their

never in the dumbbell league.

the score. After this furry Meusel

KLEIN had decided to even up for
his first mistake.
This left the Yankees leading up
to the last of the eighth with Bush
apparently master of the day. But

before this the helpful habit Of

at the start by great play on Dave
Bancroft. killing a hit down the line
by diving over and intcrposi ing his
bare hand in front of the ball with
one gone. Groh then singled gain

verge of coming TO an abrupt con-

of basebsI remained until the
spring campaign of 1928. There was
a brief respite for Bush when Meu-
sells infield tap retired Groh.
