this afternoon, and won their
second victory over the Ameri-

of three to nothing.
deacon" John Scott, resur-
rected and rejuvenated after all
the major league clubs had re-
garded his pitching arm as
ruined beyond repair, stood out
there on the hurting hill and
made the Yankees look foolish.
He had speed galore, mixed in
with a fine curve. Hoyt pitched
a loose game for the Yankees.

The midget manager, Miller Higgins,
shuffled the deck of the Yankee
pitching staff this afternoon and
then led with his third ace. Waite
Hoyt in hopes of winning a first vic
tory in the world series from the
Giants, who are already in the proud
possession of one game. Manager
John McGraw looked with critical eye
over the Giant hurlers but gave no
indication of his choice for hurting
duties until game time.
Il have McQuillan and Scott both
ready to start" said McGraw, land
don't forget that Rosy Ryan looked
pretty good in. there in the first game.
] am perfectly ratisfied with the way
my team is going and our pitching
has been. good"
Miller Higgins, will probably fol-
low his fixed program of starting his
five star pitching staff in order, un-
less the Giants upset his plans by
knocking some hurler unexpectedly
into the discard. Higgins plan con-
Mays tomorrow, and Sam Jones on
Sunday, Bush with a five-day rest
will then be fit for Monday.
Yankees in Batting Slump.
I'm not worrying over my pitch
ing" said HuggiDs, but the batting
slump the club is in. If we can come
out of it, we should win this SERIES"
Tho the crowd has been big at the
games. with every seat taken, the con-
tests have been marked by the alb
sence of the earlier rushes to the ball
park, and today was no exception
Scarcely one thousand spectators
were on hand when the gates to the
unreserved upper stands and bleach
ers were opened today and after they
had been seated the early arrivals
trickled in slowly.
The day was warm and clear and a
slight breeze from the north waited
the heavy October haze that has been
bothering the batters as twilight came
on during the late innings of play.
1t was cooler than yesterday and per-
feet baseball weather. The Giants
were the home folks today and were
first on the field for batting practice.
Giants Fear Hoyt.
The Giants. with few exceptions, re-
gard Hoyt as the most troublesome
pitcher they will have to face in this
series, remembering the twenty-seven
innings he faced them year ago with
out giving them an earned run.
There were the usual pre-game pre-
iiminaries for the edification of the
crowd-a band concert, and buffoon-
cries by Nick Altrock and AL Schaacht
all Of which is part and parcel of a
worlds series.
The collegiate pitcher, Blume. took
the mound for the Giants while they
tried the ranges of the field. Blume
mad a lot OF stuff on the ball, but the
Giants ironed out his curves and
smeared his pitching all over the ball
yard.
Big Crowd Is Out
Pitchers Scott and McQuillan took
part in the batting work out. Then
Carmen Hill tossed up some curves for
the Giants to peck away at. Casey
Stengel the Giants centerfielder, was
still suffering from a Charley horse
pulled in yesterdays game and took
no part in the practice. He may be
out of the game for the remainder oil
the series. All the unreserved seats
were filled shortly after / O'clock and
the crowd was still coming So fal
the attedances have exceeded those o1
last years series.
Stengel appeared on the diamond
as the Giants were concluding theil
batting practice. He took one swins
and then went back to the bench
hmping badly.
Hundreds Turned Away.
