with two strikes and one ball but walk
ed him with three wide ones. Groh hit
the first ball pitched to right field on
a hit and run play. and Bancroft easily
reached third from where he scored on
Frisch's line single to right.
Ward ended the rally by tossing out
Irish Meusel.
Hoyt was never a puzzle. With the
top end of the Giant batting order again
leading the attack the youthful Yankee
twirler was hit hard throughout the
seven innings he worked. The Giants
collected two hits off his delivery in
each OF the five innings. The fifth was
the only hitless inning for the winners.
Sam Jones pitched the eighth after
Frank Baker had batted for Hoyt. He
retired the side after Young had sin

The Yankees on the other hand,

but it was a golden opportunity they
missed. with Plpp out, Bob Meusel
bounded an inNeld hit over SCOTS head
and Schang walloped the first ball down

Meusel holding third.
Crisis In Seventh
1t was, the games crisis for Scott. The
Giant infieId parleyed with the pitcher
and coach Hughey jennings came from
the dugout with Instructions. The out
look was even more dubious with Elmer
Smith, a dangerous hitter, batting in
place of Ward. But with the count
three and one, Smith let second strike
shoot by and then missed the third one.
Everett Scott ended Yankee hpoes by
grounding out to Bancroft.
The Yankees got only two hits off
Scott In the other eight innings, one in
hte second by Pipp, who also stole sec
ond, and another in the sixth by Hoyt
Both were the first to face Scott, who
quickly retired the next three batters
each time.
Witt, who walked in the third, and
Ruth. who was hit by a pitched ball in
the fourth, were the only other Yankees
to reach first base. Whitley, mapping off
first base, was caught by Earl Smiths
quick toss and the first bone" play of
the series was automatically recorded.
The Babe was cut down at third when
| he crashed with Groh in trying to get
an extra base on Frisch's tumble of Bob
| Meusel's grounder.
| Giants Excel Everywhere
| AS in the other departments Of the
| Fiol5 lin
although there was little Of the specta-
cular variety. Groh's running catch OF
SCOTS foul, near the Yankee dugout, in
the fifth and Bancroft's spear of Pipp 8
hot grounder over second base in the
ninth, were outstanding.
The Giants, with two victories and no
| defeats, now hold formidable advant-
age over their rivals. Their supremacy
| in pitching, generalship, and all round
| defensive work. while especially. clear
out, has been outstanding In the entire
| series to date.
Few more startling reversals of form
have been recorded in the fortunes OF
| the rival twirling staffs. Higgins with
| five stars to rely on, was conceded an
Overwhelming advantage.
| McGraw, on the other hand, with a
| staff riddled and ineffective by a hard
campaign faced a dubious outlook with
| the chance that one or more of his
rnoundsmen might come through. THAI
| they did come through-Nehf and Barn
es and Scotland displayed more pitch
ing skill, resourcefulness and courage
than Bush, Shawkey ana Hoyt. Is the
sensation Of the series.
