! To overcome to lead, the Giants,
turned back in all their previous as
saults upon the American leaguer's de-
fense, crashed out four singles, one
right after another, in the eighth in
ming, and then crowned their furions
attack with a sacrifice fly. The four
hits crushed Joe Bush, the Yankee
speedball pitcher. and tied the score.
Waite Hoyt succeeded Bush and on
his fourth delivery yielded the sacr1-
flee fly which scored the deciding run
of the game.

hill in low speed. Early in the game
when Bush and Art Nehf, the Giants

HE for the stubborn Yankee defense
to prevent them from crossing the
plate.
