forth that after Nehf and Barnes the
Giants had no one left to stop the
Yankee attack, which was now about
due to resume it's chorus from the
Opera of Swat. But knowing all this,
the lanky one from the Carolina pines
proved that the broken blossom was
blooming again in the garden Of the
games acclaim.
Scott had not only stopped the Yam

the soft and yielding dope in the
Giants heavy assault upon Waite Hoyt

punching their blows in two innings,
which is usually quite enough 1t is
always enough when the other pitcher
is turning in a shutout Save in a few
spicy instances the crowd was strange
ly quiet. 1t must have been remem
berng that uncalled for outbreak
against Judge Landis the day before
when headless mob proved how head
less, unfair and cowardly q mob can
be when it starts to work.
Yankees Not Yet Crushed
Those in the big demonstration must
have known the judge had no part in
the umpire's lack of judgment, but few
mobs ever go far enough to call upon
any function of the brain.
AS result of two defeats Yankee
hopes are dimmed, but they are not yet
entirely crushed to earth. For the
Yankees today are just where the
Giants were year ago after Carl Mays
and Waite Hoyt had wrenched away
the first two games.
After these two defeats the Giants
then rallied and fought their way safe
ly through, winning five of the last six
games through superior strength in
the box The Yankees still look to have
their share of pitching supremacy left
if Bullet Joe Bush can only stand the
strain upon his wounded heel, thereby
proving himself to be a better man
than Achilles from another day.
But so far it must be admitted that
the supposed Yankee margin in the
box has failed to show up. Bob Shaw
key has turned in the best stuff so far
from the American League camp and
the best he could get was a ten inning
draw. Both Bush and Hoyt were out
pitched, proving again that the dope
can break in more directions than a
piece of shrapnel. Anyway, with the
shorter series, this next game is a
Vial dudlT ana laTl Mays must drag
his ball club back into the jubilee un-
less it is to be demolished in four out
of five games.
Looks Like Mays.
Higgins is almost certain to rush
Mays to the pit, while McGraw figures
on McQuillan, Ryan or Nehf. it NAV
be that McGraws pitching staff is
weak, 1t may be that he has no one
around who can hold hard hitting
club at bay. But you can no longer
prove this by three worlds series
crowds who have seen Nehf, Barnes
and Scott under fire. And no one
can make the Yanks believe it.
They have been hammering away
for three days nof without get
ting anywhere and the moment
has about arrived when they either
start or else stand out as one of the
greatest upsets that ever overturned
the dope, as big an upset if they are
beaten quickly as the Braves-Athletic
series developed just eight years ago.

In the bleachers If some one stands
up and you think that person is be-
tween you and the object of your eye
you yell: "Sit down." If that does
you holler: "Sit down, you big bum!"
If that doesn't work you repeat the
latter remark until your companions
have heard you once or twice, and then
they will assist you in drawing atten-
tion of the stander by hitting MIN on
the head with some of those mysterious
objects which loom up from every
where in bleacher sections.
By 1890 o'clock yesterday there
wasn't vacant seat in the bleachers.
Harry Stevens's walters, dressed in
their white yachting suits, were serving
luncheon III a ia Ritz style The con-
versation centered around Judge
Lands. Evidently those who had at
tended Thursdays game did not an
nounce the fact, because it was openly
announced in the bleachers that only
"hoodlums' could jeer an old man who
was trying to do all he could for base
ball. Articles by favorite sporting
was probably best that Thursdays
game had been called at the end of the
tenth inning. When Judge Lands ar
rived just before the game four mil
lion of the bleachers gave him rous-
ing cheer.
Jimmy Collins, Nyack's postman and
weather prophet, was about the last
of the 100000 to be let in the gate.
Jimmy explained that he had fivvered
from Nyack and had carburetor trouble
or something and was delayed. He also
said Nyack would get its mail o. X. to-
morrow morning and nobody would
holler, because he would tell 'em all
about the game when he brought the
mail.

sat in the center field stand and an

Calkins, who halls from Coxsackie,

be heard that only a guy from st.

Yanks would win.

He was left stranded, however, as Kelly
fouled to Pipp and Cunningham was

SEVENTH INNING.
YANKEES-The Hugmen had their
best chance to score here when they
had runners on second and third with
only one out. Pipp' was the first out,
dying on a grounder to Frisch. Meu-
sells slow roller past the box was too
slow for Bancroft to handle and it
went as hit. Schang got the biggest
hit of the day, driving to the right
sci on third. Elmer Smith, a left
handed batter, got chance to bat for
Ward. He failed to do anything, strik-
ing out ingloriously. Yankee hopes
faded when the next batsman, Scott
grounded to Bancroft. No runs, two
hits.
GIANTS-Hoyt yielded the last run
of the game after two were out. Waite
retired Earl Smith and Dugan threw
out Scott. Bancroft then walked, went
to third on Groh's single to right and
scored when Frisch pushed one-bag
ger to the same territory. McNally,
who had taken Wards place, threw out
Meusel.
EIGHTH INNING
YANKEES-Scott was invincible,
Home-run Baker, batting for Hoyt, was
expunged on grounder to Groh; Witt
flied to Cunningham and Dugan was re-
tired by Groh. No runs, no hits.
GIANTS-Sam. Jones went in to
pitch for the Yankees. Young opened
with a single to center and advanced
when Kelly sacrificed, Jones to Pipp.
Cunningham walked, but Smith and
Scott popped out, the catcher flying to
McNally and Scott skying to Dugan.
No runs, one hit.
NINTH INNING
YANKEES-The last stand of the
Hugmen was weak one. None of the
three Yankee batsmen could put the
ball out of the infield. Ruth's puny
tap was converted into an out by
Frisch and Kelly. Bancroft tossed out
both Pipp and Meusel. No runs, no
hits.
