 permitted Schang to reach second, while Meusel went to third. Aaron Ward then lifted fly almost to the center field bleacners and Meusel trot ted home.
 Neither Nehf or Bush was able to finish the job began. Each was suf- fering from stone bruise on the heel. For six innings it appeared that like Achilles, they had only this one vul- nerable spot. But these appearances did not deceive the men hired to hit for John McGraw and Miller Hnggins
 Nehf,, mixing his slow ball with his speedier curves in a baffling method had the Yanks fairly well subjugated until Witt broke through with his tri- pie. McGraw removed him in the sev- enth for a pinch hitter, Eearl Smith, to bat after the Giants, with one out, had filled the bases on successive sin gles by Kelly, Stengel and Snyder.
 At this point came one of the big moments of the game. Smith. crouch ing down like a golfer about to putt, bided his time until the count stood three balls and two strikes. The Gi- ants were two runs behind. Bush flung the ball straight over. Smith hit to Scott at short, who threw to sec ond, starting double play that once more smothered Giant assault. It was from this set back that McGraw's s men Bancroft, Groh, FrisSh, Meusel and Young-came back in the eighth inning and pounded OAt the hits and 8 sacrifice fly that brought victory.
 In the field the Tanks played per fectly from start to finish, in smooth systematic way. The Giants were diff ferent. Their bench was made up of flashes and flaws aIike.-Young made two errors, one of them costly, but he also won the cheers of the crowd for his catch and throw of Scott's hard liner that came in the fifth inning with Tanks on first and second Young slidto the ground as he caught the drive al his shoe tops, but, rising quickly, he threw it tc second, where Q touch of Frisch's foot to the bag was | enough to complete double play al BCb Meusel, thinking Scott's blow g clean hit had never stopped racing toward home after leaving second Bancroft, too. was a hero in the field. In the third he ran into center field and with his back to the diamond gathered in a fly from Busl's bat Lat CT, after Wits triple. he stopped { hard blow from Dugan and by quicl return to the plate enabled the Giant. catcher and third baseman to traI l Witt.
 In the ninth another fine flash b! the Giants sank the last hope of thu Tanks. Pipp had started rally witt a single. Meusel slid a hard one tC Ward in right field. but Freisch, witl a fast hop and leap, grabbed it, dou i bled Pipp at first. Schang was al easy infield out and the game wa: | over.
 1 The Polo grounds was packed. A noon most of the unreserved seats haC | been filled, and the start of the game was two hours off. In the last houl ! came the reserved seat ticket holders among them many notables. Christy ! Mathewson was one whose entrance | thrilled the crowd. Cheers heraldeC ! his walk to his seat in the press stands as only moment before they had sig nailed tEe arrival of General Pershine and Baseball Commissioner Landis.
 The day was fair and so warm that many in the bleachers sat in shirt i sleeves.
