Schang advanced them, but getting out
of a predicament like that isn't an old
story with the Yanks, and this one
didn't oscillate nerve in their collec-
tive anatomies.
E. Meusel fouled to Schang and
Young favored Schang with another
one. 1t was rare pitching then for five in
nings, but with the Yankees giving more
promise than the Giants of run. The
second and third innings were fiat, yet
the Giants third became slightly
piquant when Groh tripled to left CEN
ter, with two out. Frisch fizzled this
time with a high fly to Ward, who COW

The Yankees opened the fourth with
single and the fifth with a single, only
to find Nehf unperturbed. kuth hit
weakly and forced Dugan in the fourth
for the first out. Huggins had the

is good bunter, too, but the plan was
to hit away, and he rolled to Frisch.
Bob Meusel Hits Through Short
A drive from Bob Meusel in the fifth
was choleric, not to say vitriolic, and
tore through Bancroft. Dawes cssward
running catch on Bush few ennngs
before, the best fielding feat of the
game, still was fresh in memory, and
the fans thought he might work the
miraculous on Meusels grounder.
And now Higgins turned to the sac
rifice. Schang bunted and advanced
Meusel. Ward was passed and was
caught by Young-one of the costly
breaks" for the Yankees.
The Americans had rich chances in
the sixth and seventh to win. Witt in
the sixth, with one out, tripled into
Meusels uncozy corner, a dropping
lift Irish tried TO catch on the foul
line and played poorly after he missed
it. Dugan hit to Bancroft and went to
second, while Witt was being run down.
Ruth tapped single over Frisch,
brought in Dugan and went to second
on Young's tumble. Pipp was too eager,
hit at bad one and rolled to Kelly. AS
rule the Yankees were letting good
ones fit by oftener than they were
hitting at bad ones, and Nehf often put
the first ball over unchallenged. He

The Yankees in the seventh had as
golden a chance as the Giants did in
the eighth, the Giants making more
of theirs. Bob Meusel singled through
the inner expanse and Schang bunted.

retired Meusel easily. Young, in turn,
fumbled the ball. Result, Meusel on
third, Schang on second, nobody out.
