determined to see the thing through.
In the first game Bush outlasted him,
for Bill Ryan was sent In TO pitch the
last two rounds following the disappear
ance of the left handler I'm favor of a
pinch hitter. Art yesterday had great
curve. He had fine control too and,
above all, had courage and the capacity
to do as he was told.
Again Nehf had Babe Ruth at his
mercy. Art spun his left handed curves
under the left handed Babes nose and
the great crowd hooted the hardluck
Babe. AS he swung futilely the big fell
low was sight TO rouse your SYM
pathy. There was something helpless
about him--something really wistful as,
with only two hits, a single and
double to his credit. he made gigantic
threats at the Harlem ambient.
InheId His Limit.
Ruth could not even drive the ball
out of the infeld. In the first inning
he sacrificed, in the fourth he struck
out, in the sixth he grounded harshly
to Nehf and in the eighth the Babe
finished his world series efforts with
grounder to Kelly. In seventeen legal
times at bat he got two hits for a stag
gering average OF .117--the lowest
among the regulars OF both clubs The
Giants pitched to him all the way.
The defeat of the Yankees-four
straight with a tie--was a staggering
upset. Only twice before had club
taken the series without the loss OF
game. In 1914 the astonishing Braves
took the famed Athletics four In row.
In 1907 the Cubs staggered the Tigers
four times In row after fighting twelve
innings to a to 3 tie In the opening
clash. Both the Athletics and the Tigers
made only six runs altogether. while the
Yankees managed to score eleven.
With the series over there really Is
no one big hero for the Giants. The
entire club deserves great credit for
the great baseball which IL played--its
surprising pitching. the great defense II
put up and the fine hitting which It
developed when It had TO. Yesterday
Kelly. with the drive which sent in two
runs, was the shining light, winning
the game and the series just as he had
driven In the runs which had clinched
the pennant for the Giants in their clos
ing clash with the Pirates.
Heinie Groh. who got two more hits
yesterday and started the rally which
took victory from Bush's grasp. was
the most astonishing worker on attack.
Heinie had been hitting In hard luck
toward the close OF the season. Once he
went twenty-five times without getting
a hit.
But against the Yankees, who fur
nished him with a lot OF fast ball pitch
Ing. Heinie got nine hits in nineteen
trips 10 the plate and leads the Giants
with an average OF .474. Frankie
Frisch has eight hits in seventeen times
Mt bat and stands second, with All
Emil Meusel again tied the world series
record by driving in seven runs. He
equalled that mark last year and turned
the trick again.
As John McGraw said after the game.
the infield of the Giants played the
greatest baseball that ever had been
tanmed into Ave games. Bancroft.
Frisch. Groh and Kelly played phenom-
email baseball mechanically and they
played great ball mentally. We want to
give credit to the Yankees too. They
put up far stronger defence in the
field than they did last year. Joe
Dugan made a tremendous difference at
third base. Wallie Pipp was a big i'm
provement over the Pipp OF 1921. Scott
played steadier ball than did Peckin-
paugh and Ward was far superior to the
Ward OF last fall.
But the Giants, who had hit when they
had 10 in their fight for the pennant.
again proved themselves a game, fight
ing. powerful club. The pitching of the
Yankees. which was expected to prove
the deciding factor In their favor. was
not up to the standard OF that Of the
Giants. There's the nubbin.
KIem's Mig Decisions.
There were two occasions in the game
lei "a
played tremendous roles. The most i'm
portant move made by the chief umpire
came | nthe seventh inning when he
ruled Bob Meusel safe at the plate with
the apparently winning run on a sacri-
fico fly by Scott. Meusel had gone 20
first on n hit TO Groh. had passed along
on ground sacrifice by Schang and had
fingered while Ward walked.
Deacon Scott then raised a short fly
10 Cunningham. Bill raced In and made
great peg 20 the plate. Snyder stood
waiting for Meusel and apparently had
his man with ease. But Klein, after call
Ing Bob out. changed his decision. He
declared later than Snyder had tagged
his man too late. At first Il was thought
that the catcher had dropped tho ball.
Another important decision by ESlem
came In the second inning. when, with
the bases full and two out, he called
Groh out on strikes. There was quite a
hullaballoo thereover, and Heinle growled
and kicked all over the lot until KLEIN
had 10 warn him to cease hts chatter.
II looked close but Klein no doubt was
right. He umpired two fine games be-
hind the plate.
Charity Gets More Than Owners.
The series was great boost for base
ball. and the fact that Il was ended
as quickly as II was proved another
vindication of the honesty OF tho game.
One OF the Ave contests was played en-
tirely for charity, which proited to the
extent of more than $4,000. Charity
will get more out of the series than both
clubs, which will lose money on the
series. The Giants and the Yankees
that is, tho owners--got $4,000 each
The series would have started making
real money for the owners to-day II a
