 For time 1t seemed the Yankees had awakened from the spell of dumbness in which they tossed away every opportunity to win that came to them yesterday. They never ap- peared so much awake as did ths bright and snappy Giants, who seemed day by day in every way to grow better. But with Bush pitch- ing as well as he did for two-thirds of the distance to the end, a little slowness now and then did not mat ter much at the time.
 Tanks Run Poorly
 The Yankees simply could not run the bases well. Their experiences Saturday left them sadder but ep- rarently no wiser in that branch This, at least. was the impression after making one run they tossed away the hope of another, when Scott was boxed on the third base line after Bush had singled.
 The single by Bush was dropped in center field and Ward scored on 1t Scott, who had singled just be- fore Bush, went to third safely Huggins was coaching there. Some thought that the Tanks had learned a lesson yesterday when McGrawss outfieldera twice returned hits so speedily that runners were tagged between bases. Today was another day with Scott, however--he overran tho bag and was caught
 Facing the fast breaking curves of Nehf. the Tanks, as had been thoir custom through all the ser'es. plugged along for one run at time, while the Giants stuck to their habit of letting the hits fall where they might in the hope of pushing several runners home. The Tanks were held to five hits by Nehf.
 Bush Gets Good Start
 single by Dugan. sacrifice by Ruth and Pipp's single gave Bush one run to start with in the first inning. The Giants took the lead in the second, getting two runs on Meu- sells single. Young's walk, Kellys sacrifice and -bagger by Cum ningham. The Tanks tied the count in a all ip the fifth. Ward walked and was sent around by singles by Scott and Bush. Again In the sew enth the Tanks forged ahead. Meussl scratched a hit that Groh fumbled. He was forced to second. by Schang and given trip to third on wild pitch. Scott's sacrifice fly sent him home.
 There were occasions for Babe Ruth to rise from his slump and re- gain heroic statute. but he could nos hit the curves Nehf hurled so crafty. After his sacrifice in the first inning l.s Is ft,k A..k tri1 i1ra- out and two bounders to Kelly.
 Pipp's play on Bancrofts hopper in the eighth was but one of several bright bits of fielding. It seemed piece of retribution for Groh had robbed Pipp of hit in the sixth. The most valuable catch was made by Ward. He leaped and stopped hard line drive by Bancroft in the second inning when the Giants had men on every base. Bancroft also got re- venge. When the Yankees came to bat in the ninth he crushed their hopes by running far beyond the diamond to catch Meusers high fly. Young took care of the next two batters and another worlds series was ready for the record books.
 Detail of Play
 The Yankees got off to a one run lead in the first inning. It started to rain as Witt came to bat. whitey lined out to Bancroft but Dugan, with the count two and three, laced the ball to left center and went to second when Ruth crossed the Giant infield by sacrificing, Snyder throw ing him out at first, Pipp's hot single to left center scored Dugan, but Wally was forced at second on Bob Meusel's grounder to Frsch.
 Groh singled in the Giants half, after Dugan had tossed out Bancroft, but he was doubled up with Frisch on the latter's bouader to Bush. who shot the ball to Scott.
 Giants Rally
 The Yankees expired quickly in the second Schang flying to Meusel, Ward Hoyt to Cunningham and Bancroft throwing out Scott, but the Giants staged a two-run rally to take the lead.
 Meusel beat out an infield hit, Young walked and Kelly sacrificed. Cunningham brought in both taliies with a drive to center. Snyder singled to left and Bush filled the bases by walking Nehf, Ward grab bed Bancroft's line drive, but Giant runners scrambled back to safety Groh left them stranded by whiting. Bancroft threw out Bush, Witt and Dugan In rapid succession in the third. The Giants also went out in order, Pipp retiring Frisch, unas- sisted, Irish Meusel flying out to Ruth and Young popping to Pipp.
 Nehf got two of the Yankee slug gers, Ruth and Meusel, on strikes , In the fourth, while Frisch tossed out
