In the ninth inning Of the first
game, the Yankees found themselves
trailing 3 to >. Pipp, the first man

sent a line fly to Frisch and Pip
was easily doubled off first base.
The Yanks' last chance was erased
by bad baseball

failure to slide laid himself open TO
censure.
With two out and Schang on sec
ond, Bush hit a slow roller down
the third base line Groh handled
the ball just in front Of the bag.
Realizing ne had little chance to get
Bush at first and knowing Schang
was on his way 90 third he made q
blind swing backward with the ball
and touched Schang cut about sin
inches from the bag.
Correct play called for Schang TO
slide Had he done so there would
have been no chance TO make a play
on him and the Yanks would have
had runners on first and third in
stead Of the side retired.
