up. Royt was unhittable when he ar
rived, but it is remarkable how few
pardons there are that can help after
the trap had been sprung or the juice
turned on in the death house some
where near 800 volts. When Hoyt's
fast ball began leaping across the plate
both Frisch and Meusel had nicked
Bush for base hits, two runs were al
ready in and Frisch was dancing up and
down at third with no one out.
1t was into this deep and dismal look
ing grotto that Hoyt was dropped with
out chance to stave off sure defeat.
Anything meant "a run, and Young's
long fly to center was quite enough to
send the Giants on ahead to- victory-a
victory which they earned by game
uphill fight and by keeping the sweat
of their brows out of their batting
eyes as they struck the stretch.
Hoyt after this famed both Kelly
and Stengel, but the recurring thud of
the ball intos Wally Schang's waiting
mitt was lost music, completely drowned
by the violent echoes of Giant par
tlsans acclaming the batting rally that
had sent the Giants ahead. Nehf was
gone by now, but Rosy Bill Ryan had
no idea Of tossing off that one-run
lead. Rosy Bill had supplanted Nehf in

made the second occasion during the
afternoon some pitcher had fed him
three strikes, the Babe was far from
hilarious as he drifted back to the
renee. HIS fame was built on home
runs, not on strike-outs, so his scowl
was visible as he faded into the dug
out.
Double PLAY Enda Rally
The Yankees made one last stab for
the disappearing game in the ninth,
when Wally Pipp smote single. There
was one sharp, short note of renewed
hope when Bob Meusel followed with
line drive to right, but this hit fol-
lowed the path of glory that led to the
grave, for somewhere in its fight il
encountered a gloved hand waved in
niidair by Frank Frisch, who lost little
valuable time in tossing the ball 10
Kelly for a blasting double play.
And this double play fell upon the
Yankees as a wet blanket falls upon a
lighted match. They were still daled
through the blighting aftermath. of
Bullet Joe's collapse and the sudden
revival in Giant batting strength. Yet,
as the Giants earned three runs cleanly
and the Yankees earned but one. no
lusty roar seems due from the antics
of fate.
The Yankees lost this first game fer
two reasons, where ordinarily one Is
quite enough.
They lost because their star pitcher
couldn't 60 the route against the Giant
attack. And they lost again because
their own attack could make no head
way against iJehf and Ryan, as one
earned might indicate. They were
badly outbatted, both in quantity and
quality, as the more numerous Giant
hits carried cleaner, clearer ring.
The Yankee defense back of Bush
was stronger than the Giant defense
back of Nehf, for when the big moment
came now and then the Yankees had no
consistent attack to carry on their run
making art. Although Ruth drove home
one run ON a scratch single, the big
boy was showed back upon his launches
most Of the afternoon. He waved the
old wood with all the power he had, but
Nehf and Ryan had him badly crossed.
Giants Are Confident
The Giants, even when halted in the
early rounds. fought back with con-
fident aggression, inserting number
