the writer would give the Yankees nine
hits. He would have give hit and
an error on that ball of Dugan's in
the first inning, not just an error.
Dugan, Pipp, Ward, Ruth and Meusel
did the batting which gave the Yam
KEGS their runs. Groh, Frisch and
Irish Mersel combined for the sole
Giant assault en- masse. Irish Meusel
drove a persuasive home run into the
leftfield stand with two on bases. AS

Aaron Ward volleyed one into the same
stand, nearer to the foul line, with
nobody or base.
The Yankees had the steady--and not

are the more excitable of the two, but
they have more elan, just as their
batting is attended by more of the
concentrated essence of sock.
Frisch's Brilliant Work
Frsch's incursions into the realm of

Tnnine catch out in center field

keep from alling, and diving stop to

Witt had the honor, Whitley, whose

Whitley made play in the tenth
inning, which was the most important
and sensational, if not brilliant, of the
game. Bancroft in that round picked
