 An Uphill Fight
 The winning machine climbed up the hill in low speed. Early in the game when Bush and Art Nehf, the Giants southpaw, were fighting a scoreless duel, the Nationals couldn't score With two successive singles. In the seventh inning they banged out three one baggers in a row and couldn't score. The Giants simply went back in the eighth inning and kept on pounding out one baggers until 1t was impossible for the stub born Yankee defense to prevent them from scoring.
 ~@CS AA0Ailf nOmGTun swatter, swung violently all aft ernoon. Nothing that even left the impression that he could hit a home run came from his heavy bat, but he did bang out q single that broke through the monotony of the early scoreless innings, which Nehf and Bush imposed on the batters. Ruth Sends In Run
 Ruth's timely clout came in the sixth Whitey Witt. Yankee center field. had trippled into left field and had been run down when he tried for home on a blow to short from the bat of Joe Dugan. As Witt lost in his chase to the plate, Dugan gal loped on to second, and from there he was sent in with the first run of the series when Ruth punched a short single into right field.
 In the next inning the Yankees got their second run. Bob Meusel sim sled past Heinie Groh, Waffle Schang laid down a bunt to push Meusel along to second. but before the Giants got through playing tag he had reached third
 Yankees Second
 Nehf, in picking up the soft tap that Schang laid in front of the plate, decided to try to catch Meusel at second He threw wild and the ball went into right field. There 1t was fumbled by Young. The lapse permitted Schang to reach second, while Meusel went to third. Aaron Ward then lifted a fly almost to the center field bleachers and Meusei trotted home.
 Neither Nehf nor Bush was able to finish the job he began. Each was suffering from stone bruise on the heel For six innings 1t appeared that like Achilles, they had only this one vulnerable spot. But these appearances did not deceive the men hired to hit for John McGraw and Miller Huggins.
 Nehf. mixing his slow ball with his spcedier service in baffling med ley, had the Yankees fairly well sub jugated until Witt broke through with his triple. McGraw removed him in the seventh for a pinch hit ter, Earl Smith, who went to bat after the Giants. with one out, had filled the bases on successive singles by Kelly. Stengel and Snyder.
 Giants Turned Back
 At this point came one of the big moments of the game. Smith, crouch ing down like a golfer about to Es stood three balls and two strikes. The Giants were two runs behind. Bush flung the next ball straight over the plate. Smith hit to Scott at short, who threw to second, start ing a double play that once more smothered Giant assault. It was from this setback that McGraw's men-Bancroft, Groh, Frisch, Meusel and Young-came back in the eighth inning and pounded out the hits and sacrifice fly that brought victory.
 In the field the Yankees played perfectly from start to finish, in a smooth steady manner. The Giants were different. Their defense was made up of flashes and flaws alike. | Young made two errors, one of them costly but he also won the cheers of the crowd for his catch and throw | of Scotts hard liner that came in | the fifth inning with Yankees on first and second.
