Continued from Page One.


Continued from Page One.
Young made two errors, one OF
them costly, but he asso won the
cheers OF the crowd for his catch
and throw of SCOTS hard liner that
came in the fifth inning With yam
KEGS on first and second. Young
slid to the ground as he caught The
drive at his shoe tops, but, rising
quickly, he threw it to second,
where a touch of Frisch's foot II
the bag was enough to complete a
double play as Bob Meusel, think
ing SCOTS blow a clean hit, had
never stopped racing toward home
after leaving second.
Bancroft Hero.
Bancroft, too, was a hero in the
field. In the third he ran into CEN
terrified and with his back to the
diamond, gathered in a tly from
Bush's bat. Later, after Wits
triple, he stopped a hard blow from
Dugan and by quick return TO
the plate enabled the Giant catcher
and third baseman to trap Witt.
In the ninth another fine flash
by the Giants defense sank the
last hope of the Yankees. Pipp had
started a comeback rally with a
single. Meusel sliced hard one
toward right field, but Frisch, with
a fast hop and leap, grabbed it and
doubled Pipp at first. Schang was
an easy infield out and the game
was over.
The Polo grounds was packed. Al
noon most of the unreserved seats
had been filled, and the start OF
the game was two hours off. In
the last hour came the reserved
seat ticket holders, among them
many notables. Christy Mathew
son was one whose entrance thrill
ed the crowd. Cheers heralded his
walk to his seat in the press stands
as only a moment before they had
signalled the arrival of General
Pershing and Baseball Commission
er Lands.
Day Was Fair.
The day was fair and so warm
that many IN the bleachers sat in
shirt sleeves.
