weather. favored the Giants who
took quick advantage OF them in q
sudden nfth-inning squirt and pro-
duccd all OF their runs Rut the

ianks Must Win -Four Strnight.
Tho depressed Yankees find them
solves up against a barrier that few
think they can surmount. They must
win four games in succession to es-
cape another downfall at the hands
"f Mctiraw's men.
Tn. Yankees started of with
rush, and furious pounding OF the
hail In the first Inning and gave
their und"rhand pitcher. Carl Mays,

moment before. and the Giants re-
inaInrd IA the lead. Once more in
The ninth III" Yankees were able to
hit Hugh McQuillan hard enough to
warrant Il score. but they went down
without one because OF faulty base
running.
Fate stuck out n mean. we, and
slipnery finger at Carl Mays in the
hf,h inning and marked him for de-
feat. Had the day been dry and the
'n'i"ld soil trustworthy, the under
hand .wirlcr would probably have
shut out the Giants in that inning
rs he did in all the rest.
Luck Against Mays.
i!ni luck turned against him from
